In Chapter 9, we read a case study that compared the Initial Public Offering of Google and Facebook, helping to identify how firms have exceptionally different IPO experiences, based on multiple factors, both controllable and non-controllable. In this week's Critical Thinking Assignment, we will take a closer look at the Initial Public Offering process and application.

Deliverable: For this week's Critical Thinking assignment, identify a firm that has gone through the process of an Initial Public Offering (IPO), or "Gone Public," within the last 10 years. Identify what steps of the Initial Public Offering process the organization had to take to complete the IPO, and discuss the level of success/failure that occurred when the IPO finalized. Additionally, make recommendations as to if you would have conducted things differently in the position of the firm, now understanding what occurred.
