I received a slightly higher portion of the equity due to my idea premium and other past work I had put into the idea. While I do like that we broke up the equity right away, I would prefer to do so slightly differently. I would have liked to see 20% of the equity reserved for investors and other key hires. I believe this 5% of equity should have come from Sam’s share. While it is hard to estimate at the beginning, it became quite obvious that Zach and I did a majority of the work over the semester. In business, I am sure it is the same way where some people do more work than others. I feel that taking 5% of Sam’s equity and adding it to the portion reserved for investors and key hires would be the most beneficial for the business as a …show more content…
As I mentioned above, the biggest lesson that I learned is that I do not know as much about business as I need to in order to be a successful CEO. One of the ways that I can help get around this flaw is by hiring an advisory board. By hiring industry professionals, Unshackled could gain critical knowledge without having to go through all of the trials and tribulations for our self. The board would have to sign an NDA to ensure none of our confidential information is leaked, but I believe bringing in outside help would be extremely beneficial. Another change that I would make if we were starting over would be to keep the app simpler from the start. Originally, Unshackled was intended to be just an app that compiled the already public coupons and put them into one convenient and accessible location. Eventually we settled on including a GPS based interactive map and promotions exclusive to Unshackled. Throughout the semester, however, my group contemplated numerous other features that I think were frivolous and unnecessary. For instance, we were going to have a hierarchy of available deals, free-to-paid versions , in-app purchases, flash sales , and a rating system. I do not think that any of these features would have actually increased the value of our app. Therefore, after much debate, we decided to get rid of them. Throughout the semester I learned that especially early

Business owners run this world, besides older people. Entrepreneur have responsibilities like no other job in the american nation. They employ everybody no matter the field. “Owning a vision” is the motivation that runs an organization to its highest point in power, or to the dirty ground (5).

When I was a child, I had a group of friends, and I liked to be the leader. In addition, my friends used to select me as the leader of the team because of my skills. I used to select the game to play, and I liked to watch over my friends. Also, I used to practice volleyball, and I was the captain of the team. I always liked to be in control, directing and handling the team. I learned to be organized on an early age. I learned how to manage my time to go to school on time, to practice ballet, go to volleyball practice after school, have time to do my homework, and go to bed at a reasonable time.

The purpose of accounting is to consolidate and process a wide range of financial information to convey the financial health of the company mainly to the owners and potential investors. However, for years, large listed UK firms have been using earnings management to manipulate their earnings in order to meet the pre-determined forecasts for a variety of reasons. Here, it is essential to consider the earnings game. As Walkers (2013) suggests, the earnings game is to do with the directors negotiating with analysts in order to ensure they issue reasonable forecasts so that these can easily be achieved. It is when firms notice that they might struggle to meet these forecasts when they use the principle of earnings management. This practice is going against the initial objective of helping business managers’ reach a decision on the most optimal way of running the business. Instead, these managers are falsifying financial numbers in order to receive incentives. One of the incentives includes receiving bonuses when the company’s performance reaches a specified target. The aim of the essay therefore is to explore the extent to which large listed UK firms manage earnings to meet City earnings expectations, the various techniques used by firms, and whether or not investors should worry about firms employing earnings management to inflate financial figures.

What brought me to have a passion for business was my leadership skill set.
