Learning to effectively communicate in the business world entails reading business articles.  Through reading and exposure to business language you will develop the appropriate structure, cadence, and style along with a better understanding of business issues. In this assignment you will read business articles and write a memo about those articles.  This will provide exposure to business writing and also allow you to practice constructing properly formatted memos.

Auctions can be an important tool for selling goods and gathering information. Auctions are used in multiple venues including agriculture, eBay, and distressed asset sales. The seller does not have to worry about estimating demand and setting a price because the demanders will do that through the auction process.
Write an assignment examining the value of auctions in the economy by addressing the following items.
Explain the difference between oral auctions and second-price auctions, including how they work and their results.
Use the expected value information to illustrate how having more bidders in an oral auction will likely result in a higher winning bid.
Explain how the number of bidders in a common value auction affects the outcome of the auction. Relate this to the effect on price in different market structures based on the number of producers.
Auctions lead to outcomes where buyers reveal their value for the products being auctioned. To successfully price discriminate, firms often rely on buyers revealing their value for products. Explain the conditions necessary for firms to be able to price discriminate.
Your assignment must be at least three pages in length (not counting the title and references pages) and include at least three peer-reviewed resources. Adhere to APA Style when writing your assignment, including citations and references for sources used. Be sure to include an introduction. Please note that no abstract is needed.

In responding to at least two of your classmates’ posts, assess the impact of an organization’s nonprofit or for-profit status on healthcare costs for the consumer. Do you think the status of the organization impacts the quality of care? 

This week’s assigned readings are centered on the issue of an organizations for-profit or nonprofit status. For your initial post in this week’s discussion, compare and contrast for-profit and nonprofit organizations in terms of their financial and economic policies.
