Once again I just want to commend you all on a job well done on your Sales Presentations for Junior Achievement. Both companies did a great job and really impressed Ms.Jones. I was very proud of you!
So this week and next week are going to be extremely busy, as the semester, and your companies, come to an end. You will be 'Liquidating your assets' and closing your business. Since there is so much to do, I've organized each item of mention by its own heading. Please take a moment to read through what needs to get done this week:
Final Report
First and foremost this week we are continuing to focus on the Final Report to Shareholders and Junior Achievement. This is DUE NO LATER THAN JANUARY 18th. The sooner the better! Please make arrangements to buy two report covers for the final report. There must be two copies- one for Junior Achievement, and one for me.
Product Deliveries
Millennium Inc., your hoodies have arrived! The supplier shipped them to the school on Friday so on Monday the Production department will go through the hoodies, check them against the invoice for correct sizing and quantity, as well as check for any defects. Deliveries by classroom must be arranged and made over the next day or so. Other department members may help with this.
Infinity Inc., you may wish to think about making an announcement about the estimated arrival and delivery of your water bottles, just to ensure communication with your customers.
Starting a Business in Canada- Internet Research Activity
In December I gave everyone of you an individual Internet-based research assignment on “Starting a Business in Canada”. You’ve had plenty of time to start working on it before the break. Now it is time to finish it and hand it in! Ideally it should be done on Monday January 9th, but Tuesday January 10th will be fine. It must be handed by Tuesday though so that I have time to mark it!
Ch.14- Legal and Ethical Issues
The next and final chapter of the text we will be looking at is Chapter 14 which deals with legal requirements, ethical issues and social responsibility. Sorry guys, but this is one last chapter that is extremely important so we are obligated to look at it! You will have class time to work on this in between your other responsibilities.
Peer Evaluation
You will also be doing the final peer evaluation at some point this week.
Don’t forget your Daily Activity Logs and JA Workbooks must be completed as well.
So you see, this is a busy week. You must prioritize and get all of this work done. I know it seems like a lot, but you have more than enough class time to get it all done IF you use your time wisely and efficiently.
See you in class!
