For this journal assignment, choose a real or fictional company or other organization of interest to you. In our scenario, the organization is conducting a search for a new chief executive officer (CEO). As a board member of this organization, you are in charge of drafting the environmental, sustainability, and governance (ESG) section of the CEO executive compensation package. If the organization performs sufficiently on these metrics in the first 12 months after hire, the CEO will receive the full bonus or equity award (specified in a different section of the compensation package drafted by someone else).
Begin by researching ESG executive compensation metrics in the CSU Online Library. Then, write a memorandum by completing the Unit VIII Journal Template with the information listed below.
Header: Complete the Company Name, To, From, and Date sections.
Introduction: Describe your organization. Explain why environmental, sustainability, and governance considerations are important in the selection and compensation of the next CEO. This section should be one paragraph.
ESG Metrics Table: Provide three ESG metrics tied to the compensation package for the next CEO. For each metric, provide a short Metric Name, a 1-3 sentence Descriiption, a quantifiable Goal (or goals), and a process of Measurement for determining the extent to which the goal was achieved. Aim to be as clear and precise as possible in this table to avoid any disputes over the interpretation of these metrics during negotiations with a CEO candidate.

Scenario
Tasty Products, a billion-dollar multinational company, has for more than 25 years has developed, produced, and distributed organic food products to major retailers (e.g., Whole Foods; Costco, Safeway) throughout the United States. These products are noted for their salutary effects, including stable blood glucose levels. Tasty Products has recently decided to launch a new line of products.
It will develop, produce, and distribute all-naturally flavored protein bars to its new and existing clients. This new line of all-naturally flavored protein bars will necessitate establishing a new division to develop, produce, market, and distribute the product. A new Executive Vice President will need to be selected to establish and lead the new division.
Your company, Wiz Consultants, has been retained to help Tasty Products’ Human Resources Director make the final selection from the candidates she has previously interviewed and narrowed to three (3) possibilities. She has prepared a detailed written profile for each candidate.
Tasty Products’ Human Resources Director has explained to you that she has been directed to find the best person to establish and run the new division. The Human Resources Director further explained that the protein bar industry consists of many well-established companies. Accordingly, the ideal candidate will need to learn quickly and handle many complex leadership and management tasks.
These complex management and leadership tasks include the following: developing innovative strategy, creating well-made products, effective product marketing, developing and managing the processes and procedures for employees to follow, and creating and articulating a clear vision for the new division. Strong leadership will be the key to the all-naturally flavored energy bar’s success.
The Executive VP will be the face of Tasty Products’ new brand to existing and prospective clients (e.g., Whole Foods, Safeway, Costco, and the like). The key to success with existing clients and prospective clients will be the ability to communicate to them, “What makes Tasty Products naturally flavored protein bars special.” The new Executive VP must be viewed as a person of integrity and an innovative problem solver.
The Executive VP must be seen by current employees and newly hired employees and their managers, who will all work in the new division, as a leader who understands and supports the culture, values, and traditions of Tasty Products. In a short period of time, Tasty Products’ leadership expects the new Executive VP to have met the leadership and management expectations discussed above and have the new division running efficiently and productively.
In summary, Tasty Products desires that the new Executive VP for the Energy Bars Division have the array of excellent management and leadership skills necessary to lead the new division.
Your specific role is to analyze the candidate profiles that follow and answer the specific questions (as identified below the last candidate profiles) the company’s management has asked you.
Candidate Profiles
T.J. Max
T.J. has spent the past 13 years working for Star Lite Foods, a mid-sized, $220 million in annual sales, vegetarian food distribution company, headquartered and operating its largest facility in Arizona. She started with the company working on the production line that selected the vegetables suitable for distribution throughout the western section of the United States. For the next 4 years, she worked in a variety of management jobs overseeing production.
T.J. then worked for 7 years as a Regional Manager in Idaho, responsible for increasing the production of vegetables on farms that Star Lite used as sources for vegetables needed for their own vegetable production. During her run as a Regional Manager, she was responsible for making visits to farms to help each farm in the Safe Lite network develop a business plan. The focus of these business plans was to help each farm develop a vision, mission, and general operations plan to help ensure production was stable.
T.J. credits her success in that role to her ability to get local farmers to work together instead of independently. She created a program, Community Communications, to keep farmers up to date on farm news affecting the region and encourage cooperative relationships. T.J.’s staff set up a blog and website and expanded social media channels to supplement her Community Communication initiative. These enhancements enabled the latest up-to-date sources of information for farming-related issues and encouraged the cooperative development of strategic goals and plans.
T.J. was promoted and has served for the past 3 years as Star Lite Foods Vice President of the New Product Design and Marketing Department. She proposed focusing on making quality products that can be sourced from local vendors. She stated that once established the company could initiate a move to being more environmentally attentive to the well-being of consumers. T.J. has long advocated for natural products whenever possible and the need for more nutritious and healthy food lines. Management sees T.J. as clever and creative.
T.J. proudly stated that she likes to surround herself with good people. T.J. indicated she likes to delegate because she feels her team of workers needs the freedom to make decisions. She feels people produce more and like work better without strict guidance. She is hands-off. T.J. boasted that the team was instrumental in helping Star Lite obtain a double-digit increase in market share.
T.J. is well-liked by her employees. She communicates what is important and has a good sense of timing. They, at times, describe her as distant, but when they seek her judgment or she offers an opinion, they respect it. T.J. is very open to conversations with others and is known to be truthful and subtle. She often indicates she’d like to think about the issue or question before she answers, but she always follow-ups, even if it is a day or so later. T.J. likes people. T.J. will not tolerate employees that don’t work well with others, and she is very comfortable working with everyone.
T.J. is confident that her hard work to advance her career and track record in various complex jobs makes her capable of taking on the new role. T.J. earned her B.A. in Business in a part-time program at a local college in Idaho.
L.L. Bean
L.L. started Bean’s Frozen Health 15 years ago. L.L. started Bean’s Frozen Health in his basement. The company distributes its products throughout the United States and Canada. Sales are currently $360 million annually. Tasty Products agreed to purchase Bean’s Frozen Health. L.L.’s innovation in moving his standard selling of freshly produced vegetarian products to local supermarkets and specialty food stores, to frozen and pre-packaged goods where he could market and sell throughout the US and Canada led to rapid growth — both in terms of sales and employees, which currently exceed 250.
He was known for his charismatic leadership style and hands-on management. Although popular with employees and managers, he was known to be focused and driven. His primary areas of focus were strategic planning, marketing, and product development. Employees characterized L.L.’s company as a pleasant place to work and one where they were treated fairly.
L.L. agreed to stay in a leadership capacity with Tasty Products for 3 years, but his exact role has yet to be determined. He thinks leading this new division would be a good fit.
L.L.’s agreement makes accommodations for several key managers and key employees (sales, and marketing) to work for Tasty Products. Their roles have yet to be decided, but L.L. would have a say in that. The relationship among these key employees is informal; everyone calls each other by their first names, and they like to talk about business and work well together. L.L. indicated that he expects everyone to jump in when a task needs to be done.
L.L. often says, “There are thinkers, and there are doers. Doers get the job done. If we make mistakes, we’ll fix them. Perfection is the enemy of the good. And, in business, to stay ahead of the competition, taking risks is necessary.” He sees himself as a doer and driver of others. L.L. frequently held town hall meetings to rally the troops and communicate a vision. He is forthright and blunt in his one on one. Often there seems to be little reflection before he speaks.
L.L. admitted that while he depends on the people that comprise Bean’s Frozen Health, he likes to be immersed in the business and always wants to stay informed as to what is happening within every department. He likes to walk around and chat with people, although he does not like to waste his time or the time of others.
He also shared that he has limited formal educational experience with marketing since as the company grew, he used in-house personnel and top-of-the-line marketing firms. Still, since he has been leading Beans’ Frozen Health through its growth stages, he could easily manage Tasty Products’ new venture. He boasts that he is a proven innovator and entrepreneur.
As a proven innovator and entrepreneur having started and built a large company, L.L. feels confident he is the best candidate. L.L. dropped out of college in his senior year to pursue his business.
J.C. Penney
J.C. started his role at Tasty Products 12 years ago. Based on his prior 18 months of experience overseeing production for a small ($1m) annual sales protein bar company, J.C. was hired as a production manager at Tasty Products San Diego facility. His detail-oriented efficiency became widely known throughout Tasty Products. For the past 4 years, he has been working for Tasty Products as the Deputy Director of quality control and all products throughout the U.S. and Canada. He focuses on helping ensure that all-natural and organic products are environmentally friendly and appeal to consumer price points.
J.C. is highly regarded within the employee ranks as a fair manager. He applies policies and procedures in a very even-handed manner. J.C., at times, can be seen as distracted by the details of production and quality and tends to get deeply involved in other areas of line operations. He has led many committees to plan new product development and distribution but has not yet been delegated those tasks as a recurring part of his current role. J.C. has hired a group of highly educated employees.
J.C.’s employees comment that he seeks a lot of data before rendering an opinion or a direction to follow. J.C. is known to be ethical and trustworthy. He never reacts immediately to what is being said and likes to research most things before he replies. J.C. likes to say, “the devil is in the details.”
He holds monthly staff meetings, but generally, these are with specific groups on specific topics that he asked certain employees with expertise in those areas to report on meetings. Management places a great deal of confidence in what J.C. suggests and recommends.
J.C. sees himself as both a manager and a mentor who focuses on employee development. For example, J.C. provides very hands-on guidance in the technical areas of production and quality control and expresses exactly what he’d like to see the end product or report look like. J.C. is seen as a deep thinker who acts when he is certain of the next step. He is known to be someone management can rely on to solve complex technical issues. His opinions, however, in all aspects of the company are valued by management.
J.C. admitted he does not have any marketing or sales experience. Still, he has had a role in overseeing committees that made recommendations in those areas, including developing the new naturally flavored protein bar line. He has a strong desire to see the company become a leader in the protein bar market.
J.C. noted in his cover letter that although he has more hands-on experience in some areas of the new Executive VP role than others, he believes, nonetheless, he would be a good fit for the new position because he is committed to Tasty Products. He understands the company’s vision, mission, and core values. J.C. stated he had demonstrated the managerial and leadership skills to guide the team to success.
J.C. believes his proven record at Tasty Products, his engineering background, and advanced education, as well as the respect he is accorded by employees and management at Tasty Products, make him an ideal candidate for the new role. J.C. has a degree in electrical engineering from Penn State and an MBA from Wharton.

HISCO Summary Annual Report
[WLOs: 1, 2, 3] [CLOs: 1, 3, 4]
All previously assigned simulation work must be completed before accessing the Summary Annual Report through the Growing Your Business simulation. After this is done, the Summary Annual Report Template will be accessible through the Annual Report tab. Also, review the video Simulation.Video.Part.3Links to an external site..
The summary annual report is a scaled-down version of a full annual report. You will simply not have enough detail to complete the typical nine sections. For example, you are not responsible for the Auditor’s Report. Naturally, you are encouraged to review real-world annual reports, which can be used as a strawman in preparation. Your recently completed Annual Operating Review (AOR) assignment in Week 5 should align with your Annual Report but not repeat what you provided in Week 5.
Preparing your HISCO summary annual report will be one of the most comprehensive assignments you will have completed during your MBA. You will gain an appreciation for the complexity and responsibility the senior executives continually face. Hopefully, you have experienced the holistic and competitive environment from the simulation. Your recently completed Annual Operating Review will provide the basics.
The information, qualitative and quantitative, in an annual report, should provide current and prospective investors (as well as any stakeholder) a complete insight into the company’s historical performance and its plans for growth and improvement over the next few years as defined by its strategy. Publicly traded companies are required by law to prepare and submit a variety of filings to many constituencies. The most well-known are the Annual Report to Shareholders and the related 10-K form. The 10-K form will typically summarize the company’s history, financials, risks and opportunities, and current operations. The 10-K form is submitted annually to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Technically, HISCO is a private company (you may have sold equity to the venture capitalist) and only if it had publicly traded debt would you be required to file a 10K form.
As a future leader of a public or private company, you will learn the integrative nature of any business while you complete the HISCO summary annual report. This document can become an important part of your e-portfolio in the program. Your owner, Stanley Sloane, looks forward to reading your HISCO summary annual report. While details may vary state by state, even if your career leads to growing a small private business, you must file an annual report with The Secretary of State in your jurisdiction, another benefit to learning from our final activity.
The following identifies specific instructions for preparing each required section. The required sections to be completed are found in the Word document from the model. Please remember to periodically save your work. An online search will reveal innumerable sites devoted to annual reports.
The HISCO Summary Annual Report final paper
must be completed using the template in the Growing Your Business simulation.For technical help with the simulation, please email HelpDesk@tri-sim.com.
Follow the Summary Annual Report Template to format your work. Standard APA formatting will not apply to this assignment.
must include the following:Cover PageYou can design your own cover page. It should reflect your corporate image and may include a picture and/ or logo. At a minimum, it will include the Name 2021 HISCO Summary Annual Report and your name and date. The cover page can only be 1 page.
CEO LetterThe CEO Letter is designed to share the Strategy, Financial Highlight Summary, and Business Overview of the past year. Evaluate quantitative and qualitative techniques for business analysis and decision-making. It will typically also include the future growth outlook for the business (detailed in the Sales, Marketing, and Industry pages below). The CEO Letter should be between 2–3 pages.
The “Stan Sloane Letter”HISCO’s owner, Stan Sloane, is very happy that he decided to hire you to help turn the company around. He is interested in having you stay on with the company. However, he will need assurance that you are committed to continuing to grow HISCO. Explain to Stan how you plan on running the company over the next two years. You should discuss the majority of the items you developed when you first came on with the company, including: whether you would make any changes to the SWOT analysis, whether you would change the company strategy, negotiations you would make with company stakeholders, future technology suggestions, growth expectations in general for the industry and specifically for HISCO over the next two years, any concerns that occurred in the past year that you would address, and any other information you believe would be relevant in order to reassure Stan that he has placed the company in the right hands. You will add this letter at the end of the standard Annual Report. This letter is not part of a traditional Annual Report. The “Stan Sloane Letter” should be between 3–4 pages.
Sales, Marketing, and IndustryThis section should detail all aspects of HISCO’s Value Chain, from supplier to manufacturing to the customer. Products, NPIs, and pricing in an industry perspective of competition should be elaborated on. Utilize tools from marketing to managing the profitability of overall business operations. A review of your SWOT would probably help. Your recently completed Annual Operating Review (AOR) assignment. An essential element is for current and prospective investors to understand how HISCO makes money and will be able to create growth and deal with risks. The Sales, Marketing & Industry section should be between 4–5 pages.
Financial StatementsFinancial statements are the heart and soul of the annual report. This is a quantitative section that provides current and prospective investors a look into HISCOs financial performance. The financial statements consist of the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow. We suggest you show a minimum of 4 Qtrs. for each of the past two years for the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow. Utilize tools from finance management to manage the profitability of overall business operations. Consider expanding the lines within each statement in the model. You will need to provide details on the Credit Line. The Financial Statements section should be approximately 6 pages.
Management Discussion and Analysis (MDA)The Management Discussion and Analysis section provides the real detail on year-to-year performance. In your case, this will be the current year versus the prior year. Topics will be both qualitative and quantitative in all aspects of the current year relative to the prior year. The MDA will certainly include a complete variance analysis of performance and the successes and failures of your decisions for the year. It is time you delved into the details of your operating decisions. The MDA section is typically devoted to the past (your future was described in prior sections). Reference to the Financial Statements and your recently completed Annual Operating Review (AOR) assignment is crucial. Graphics from your Business Intelligence Dashboard and your Variance walks on Income and Cash can provide visual insight into your performance. The Management Discussion and Analysis (MDA) should be approximately 6 pages.
Notes, Appendices, and ReferencesAny supporting documents, comments, information, a glossary of terminology, and/ or clarifications you deem relevant to your annual report to assist current and prospective investors. The Notes, Appendices, and References can be a maximum of 2 pages.
