Unfortunately gaps of inefficiencies result in market dislocations. Thus governments believe they can regulate markets more effectively than the market itself, if left alone. Your written assignment this week is to detail in a two-page word document/paper and accompanying PowerPoint whether recent regulations enacted through the "Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act" of 2010 have truly protected consumers.Your foray into becoming a successful consultant continues this week as you once again are expected to provide the board of directors a brief, 2 page word document/paper and accompanying visual (PowerPoint). This week's objective is for you to create an understanding of the importance of forecasting to the sales and pricing strategies of the company you have chosen, and also detail some drawbacks associated with these strategies, as they relate to your company.
