Starling Inc. is a public stock company that provides natural gas for businesses. Although this company generates a large profit

, management's focus on reducing costs caused the maintenance budget to be trimmed. Its pipelines have at times leaked, which created significant environmental problems. As a result, the company's value creation has suffered. This scenario supports Michael Porter's warning that public companies
A) often do not keep economic needs and societal needs separate from each other, thereby contributing to low value creation.
B) have defined value creation too narrowly in terms of financial performance, thereby contributing to black swan events.
C) do not focus enough on increasing firm profits, thereby contributing to low value creation.
D) have defined value creation too narrowly and as a result have ignored political lobbying, thereby contributing to black swan events

Answer:

Have defined value creation too narrowly in terms of financial performance thereby contributing to black swan events ( B )

List and define all the ways to pay for college
Anna35 [415]
There are many ways you can pay for your college tuition. First, you can find a part time job. Most colleges are gracious to students, especially working students.

Target profit a.are when sales and costs are exactly equal. b.can be calculated by modifying the break-even equation. c.equals d
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

b. can be calculated by modifying the break-even equation.

Explanation:

As the name implies, target profit can be explained to be the certain amount a business enterprise or a business organisation targets to hit at the end of its sales or at the end of her business dealings.

It can be easily seen in a cash flow planning as it is once modified to approximate cash flow, and also used for revealing expected results to investors and lenders. In all that it is been used for, in the scenario above, it also can be calculated by modifying the break-even equation, and deriving more conservative budgeting packages in business development too.

Adjust the contribution margin per unit and units sold based on an expected sales promotion.

Alter the fixed cost total and the contribution margin per unit for the effects of outsourcing production.

Alter the contribution margin for the effects of changing to a just-in-time production system.

If there is continually a large unfavorable variance between the target and actual profit, it may be necessary to examine the system used to derive the target profit,
