A bank is attempting to determine where its assets should be invested during the current year. At present, $500,000 is available for investment in bonds, home loans, auto loans, and personal loans. The annual rate of return on each type of investment is known to be: bonds, 10%; home loans, 16%; auto loans, 13%; personal loans, 20%. To ensure that the bank’s portfolio is not too risky, the bank’s investment manager has placed the following three restrictions on the bank’s portfolio: a) The amount invested in personal loans cannot exceed the amount invested in bonds. b) The amount invested in home loans cannot exceed the amount invested in auto loans. c) No more than 25% of the total amount invested may be in personal loans. The bank’s objective is to maximize the annual return on its investment portfolio. Formulate an LP that will enable the bank to meet this goal

The Basis of Power and Influence [WLOs: 1, 2] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4]
Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, please read Chapter 14 in your Kinicki and Soignet (2022) textbook, and the article Dynamics of Power in the Workplace by Orta (2015).
In an initial post of at least 300 words, and citing at least two required scholarly sources, describe the five sources of power in organizations: legitimate, reward, coercive, expert, and referent. Explain how the source of a leader’s power affects the amount of influence the leader has. Identify the influence tactics that are best aligned with each source of power. Then, think about one of your recent professional positions, and describe the source of your power and how you used your power to influence others in the organization.

 
Develop a 12-15 slide PowerPoint presentation that covers all major areas of your assignment. 
Be sure to address the following:
Site/organization
Needs assessment results
Project topic
Project goals
Project outcome (or anticipated outcome if not implemented)
How was your project received by stakeholders? (It was thought of as a good idea, likely a good project, but would also be costly – around 500k or more to develop, take 18 to 24 months, and would replace the current workers so they don’t want to push or support this do that right now). 
If you implemented your project, how will it be sustained? If it is not sustainable, how will the one-time implementation make a difference? (It is software, and would be sustained through regular software updates and making sure it stays up with or ahead of other similar software competitors. The development is of course a one-time thing, then just normal updates). 
If you did not implement your project, how did you perform a hand-off for the next steps? (There was no hand-off, the company will not go to implement this, so the research, the presentation, and the data will stay with me until I find the right company or right investors). 
Ultimately, what did you learn from this project? (I learned that hospitals and clinics are losing money, there is a need for proper billing, AI would be superior to human coders, and AI is advancing, and those who do not embrace it will likely run the risk of being replaced by it). 
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
