We’d like you to design and develop strategy for a large public company using the themes within

the two modules we’ve just completed: risk management and the international module.

Essentially, we’d like to put you into the shoes of the CEO and design a few key strategies that

would help grow earnings and reduce risk in the company’s operations.

> Let’s get a bit more specific. Examine QCOM (Qualcomm) is doing now, both in terms of risk management and global strategy.

In particular, here’s what's needed:

> Pull up the company’s annual report (10-K) from http://investor.qualcomm.com/common/download/sec.cfm?companyid=QCOM&fid=1234452-15-271&cik=804328.

> Read the entire section titled “Item 1” (includes items describing the general business) and “Item 1A” (also known as the risks section).

> Then, read the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

> Next, examine the company’s international business situation. Sometimes this information is located in a section called “Operating Segments”; '

other times it is not. You might have to dig around for this info.

> Also, search the document (hitting CTRL+F usually does the trick) and enter keywords that include “derivatives” and “hedging.”

> What do you see? What is the business doing right now?

Evaluation based on completing all of points below:

1. Analyze the company’s existing international strategies.

2. Analyze the company’s existing risk management strategies.

3. Prescribe new international strategies for the business based on what they are and are not doing now in these areas

4. Prescribe new risk managemetn strategies for the business based on what they are and are not doing now in these areas
