DUE: December 6, 2019

INSTRUCTIONS:

The objective of the integrated semester is to help you extend your knowledge of how the

finance, operations, management, and marketing disciplines work and how they integrate

their functioning in the real world of business. This assignment is an assessment of how well

you understand this integration. It is worth 10% of your course grade.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT IS TO ANSWER ALL OF THE QUESTIONS, IN A SEPARATE

DOCUMENT FOR EACH OF THE 300 COURSES.

• The assignment should be prepared as a Word document, 3-4 pages in length for each

discipline’s questions.

• The document should be double-spaced, using Arial font #12.

• Add any Appendices at the end of the Word document.

• Upload the appropriate Word file through the link on Canvas to each of your Integrated

Semester courses separately by the due date (i.e. the Marketing assignment should be

uploaded to the Marketing class only).

• Your reference sources, in addition to the base case and question sets, should be online

sites and articles, Bloomberg terminals, your Integrated Semester textbooks, PowerPoint

slides, and other sources you professor assigns.

• Turnitin, a software tool that improves writing and prevents plagiarism, will be used to

assess your sourcing of information. Do your own work.

Please read the instructions carefully before beginning to answer the questions. Contact

your instructor if you don’t understand the assignment’s directions or requirements. The

assignment must be submitted as instructed. You will lose points if you fail to follow the
