In this instance, regardless of the public announcement that the state was following World Health Organization protocol, the public was furious. Public distrust continued when the new vaccine arrived, as the media had implied in previous reports that the vaccine was "rushed" through production. The public fears and responses that happened could have been mitigated through more scheduled town hall public meetings, where citizens are free to vent all concerns.
The second tasks assigned was that of benchmarking with other states on their methods and processes in handling the outbreak and utilizing those best practices in Tennessee. For this assignment Tennessee focused their communications and research on the state of Texas.

Comp-XM Executive Summary
Round One
The overall summary of the balanced scorecard for the Comp-XM indicates approximately two thirds of the possible decision points. The financial evaluation indicates higher rates of the stock prices (6.4/7), slight above average profit levels (4.7/7), and two thirds of the leverage condition (4.0/6). The underlining factors under the stock price were the fundamental factors (earning base and valuation multiple), technical factors, and Market sentiment. The market sentiment (psychological factors) approaches the maximum level in relation to the products of the company. This indicates that the level of individual and collective sentiments or psychology of the market compares appropriately across the industry thus allowing the company to enjoy higher stock prices. The overall stock prices within the industry also prove to add to the higher levels of the company's prices. The profit levels of the company seems to be lower because of the overall costs of stock,…

Managerial Practices
Management refers to the process of bringing people together in order to achieve desired goals and objectives within an organization via available resources effectively. The process involves functions of management such as planning, staffing, controlling and leading. Organizational behavior examines the impact that groups or individuals and structures have on behavior of the staff within an organization Griffin, 2012()
Management practices vary across many organizations but the common concept is that efficient management practices are associated with better performance in terms of profit returns and productivity. The criminal justice setting is a system whereby government institutions practices are directed towards upholding justice, mitigating crime and punishing those who violate laws through rehabilitation or penalties. Fundamental concepts of organizational behavior are directed towards promoting effective managerial…

Because the relaxation of market barriers to entry into the Chinese market have only recently come down, the potential for return for a first-mover like Harley Davidson is enormous, particularly as it already has strong brand name recognition. Yet there is also great risk if local governments continue to place restrictions on motorcycle use and construction, such as engine size (Nakashima, 2006, p.1).
Furthermore, "a population with a restricted but expanding disposable income will be a challenge" ("Harley-Davidson roars into China" BBC News, 2006). The Chinese business culture remains "fast-changing, enigmatic and anything but transparent, China is a nation where local corruption and shifting rules abound" (Schmid 2004). At present unlicensed, unauthorized Harley Davidson dealers are now operating in China, catering to local enthusiasts, but if the company does not act now it could lose the brand integrity and recognition it has worked so long to build around the world,…

Cyber Threats: Executive Summary
It is important to note, from the onset, that even before the personal computer became as popular and as widely used as it is today, vandals still compromised computerized phone systems either for fun or for economic benefit. During the very early decades of IT, computer attacks were mostly committed by insiders, i.e. disgruntled employees of an entity (de Leeuw and Bergstra, 2007). The said attacks in this case were largely limited to physical damage to computing devices. At the time, "the systems were not networked with other systems…" (de Leeuw and Bergstra, 2007, p. 706). This was, however, until vandals discovered new ways of making use of computer systems to turn a profit or register protests. During these early days of technology, criminals would commonly modify data after subverting security systems via mostly authorized access. With the spread of telecommunications technology during the 1960s, computer criminals…

The short-term factors of being able to react more responsively with seasonal fashions that become "break out" fashions are critical, and to accomplish this, greater supply chain coordination both with designers and their production centers are critical;. This tighter integration to designers in the short-term will allow for greater variation in forecasts of new, seasonal lines. In addition, the need for better capturing of Point-of-Sale (POS) data is critical to better understand quickly the needs of customers and respond to them (Moin, 2). This added insight of using POS data in conjunction with the CM system that Lord & Taylor has purchased from Harte-Hanks will also lead to more accurate forecasting.
In forecasting for the long-term, Lord & Taylor needs to track purchasing history of its top customers and better understand what is driving customer loyalty within the customer base attracted by the new branding. In addition, there is the…

Macy's Discussion Questions And Executive Summary
A detailed description of the environment Macy's clothing store will face.
It appears that the department stores of the previous century are dwindling in size and popularity. The environment that was once the department store's territory has been consistently infiltrated by competition from every side. There are the up and coming specialty stores, the Internet, luxury chains, wholesalers and the shopping mall. Back in the early 1980s the number of department stores that spanned the country as national chains were 33. In the 21st century that number has declined to less than 15. The environment that Macy faces today is truly a challenge as the need for personal service has to some degree been replaced by convenience. For example with online stores, why go out to shop amidst a sea of traffic and shoppers to wait for services, when it is easier and much less time…
According to Spring (2002), in 2002, YUM! Brands acquired a& and Long John Silver's; at that time, the company reported that, "The acquisition allows us to accelerate our multi-branding strategy and...to be expanded international leaders...in chicken, pizza, Mexican and seafood" (quoted in Spring at 203).
As noted above, the company's motto is, "Our passion is to put YUM on our customer's faces all over the world," and this marketing approach appears to be paying big dividends. Indeed, Spring notes that YUM! Brands is currently a leader in the construction and operation of themed environments: "For instance, in 1922, the a& logo was created by Roy Allen and Frank right to represent their two last names. Opening in Lodi, California, the men constructed an outdoor stand that looked like a root beer barrel. In 1923, a& developed the first car-hop service initiating the spread of drive-in restaurants. Later restaurants relied on…

It is not that managers do not see the benefit in conflict that they eschew it; it is that conflict is high-risk and can have significant negative externalities, some of which linger with the organization for a long time. Managers are less enthusiastic about conflict because they are taking into account a longer time frame and the totality of externalities, which makes their views a reflection of better information and therefore more accurate than the views of academic researchers.
Recommendations. Carefully manage conflict -- do not use it wantonly. Conflict does not always create positive outcomes sufficient to outweigh the negative ones that are certain to accrue. Take steps to ensure that the conflict is task-focused and not personal. This will limit the amount of damage that accrues from conflict. Create conflict only when necessary -- large scale conflict for small scale problems is dangerous. Conflict is a powerful tool…

Ford Pinto case study discussion & executive summary
Managers must continually balance their own, personal sense of ethics with the need to render a company profitable. In the case of Ford, the pressure to create an affordable car resulted in the company making unethical decisions that hurt customers and also hurt Ford's reputation and bottom line. While setting certain benchmarks of quality and cost are vitally important, Ford's stubborn refusal to install a basic safety control device in the Pinto is an example of how a failure of diverse sources of information and unwillingness to deviate from the chosen path of an organization can result in folly.
Ethical and moral decision-making must be integrated into the managerial decision-making process. Just as Ford set benchmarks for the Pinto's…

ach of these companies has totally different organizational cultures and climates. Some stress teamwork and collaboration. Others allow tremendous independence and flexibility. Some are democratically organized whereas others have a rigid organizational hierarchy.

(Security Guards and Gaming Surveillance Officers) Thus there is a lot of increase in demands from channel members and the possibility if that there is a demand from them to provide them with lower priced products. Even existing marketing companies like Scott Paper Company are facing this problem. There are wholesaler sponsored voluntary chains, and retailer cooperatives which are likely to put pressure on a new manufacturer. (the Environment of Marketing Channels)
With all this consideration, it is better to look at a new market and the reasons for this are that the U.S. population is increasing at the low age end and the high age end, and there are a large number of individuals of different origins.

Agility, responsiveness, and staying customer-centric while relying on the processes necessary for Long Beach Mortgage to grow profitability is the balance that needs to be maintained within this implementation. The BFOT suite of applications need to be positioned and launched to the employees, suppliers, and third party resellers of Long Beach Mortgage services as a series of tools to make them more agile, responsive, and effective in serving clients.
Conclusions
For Long Beach Mortgage, the future is now. The revolution that is sweeping the financial services industry to higher levels of customer responsiveness and involvement while dropping the costs per transaction needs to be capitalized on by the company by taking the following steps. First, the existing prospect- and customer-facing processes must be redesigned to get inefficiencies and costly time wasting steps out of the way. Second, the integration needs of these processes must next be considered and planned for, with…
Historically one retailer in the area has offered 100 gallon drums of 100 to consumers for purchase, but has recently restricted sales to 500 gallons per purchase, no doubt to serve industry. While another retail location has spotty supplies that must be called upon, on a weekly basis to determine if 100 is even available, though conveniently they do sell it by the gallon.

It has been shown that the acquisition of talent not an area specific to each individual position at top companies. The highest-performing companies build pools of talent from which they can draw as needed (Michaels et al., 2001). Thus, there will inevitably be talented people who are at times underutilized. Their higher-order needs are not being met and thus they must be generously compensated. Otherwise, when the time comes to move someone from the organization to a fulfilling, higher-order executive position, the talent will not be there.
CEO pay proponents also point out that the bulk of the "excessive" executive compensation comes in the form of stock or options. These instruments were brought into executive compensation packages specifically to align the interests of management with those of the shareholders. It was the shareholders and the boards of directors who initiated this, as a means to protect shareholder wealth. There have…

5). Although Web portals also provide executives with the ability to aggregate large amounts of data from various sources, there is still the issue of sorting out all of this information in meaningful ways. Indeed, many executives are faced with so much information that it is comparable to trying to sip from a fire hose. In contrast to Web portals, digital dashboards "is a personalized portal that provides consolidated information for an individual user" (Abel, p. 6). Finally, digital dashboards also provide executives with the ability to view the information offline, thereby adding portability to the EIS approach (Abel).

I think as a company we made some good moves -- we were well positioned when we invested in capacity but we simply underestimated our competition. As a result, we fell to 4th in the market and had to reinvent ourselves.
What the competition did and our response
Our response: We retrenched to our original strategy. We had intended at the outset to follow a differentiated strategy -- do dominate the high-end niches. We launched the Phoenix to symbolize our revival and set out to capture the Innovator and Mercedes markets. It worked. We knew we had a good, efficient sales team, one that was probably more efficient than those of our competitors. We took advantage of that, and put out the best computer on the market.
The strategy was a success. While the top two competitors were chasing after the mass market and doing a good job at that, we found…
Corporate executive pay needs to be reconsidered. Proponents of corporate greed will claim all sorts of outlandish reasons why their mansion on the iviera is benefitting the worker making $7 per hour in the fields. Companies will even use spurious research methods to justify corporate executive pay. The Institute for Policy Studies and the Center for Corporate Policy (2007) notes that "amounts for restricted stock, pension benefits, deferred compensation, and severance pay" are rarely factored into the evaluations of corporate executive pay to make it look like chief executives are not making as much as they actually are. Hiding money, misreporting money, and misreporting data are just a few of the ways corporate America is ruining America. It is high time the people of the United States took back their nation from the greedy corporate executives. A score of executives are laughing all the way to the bank while millions…

Product and Service Design Processes
Product Executive Summary: Tire Design
The approach to designing tires is driven by a highly regulated product market. The standards for safety, ergonomic design and functionality are governed by a number of basic qualifying conditions that must first be met. Therefore, the appropriate design approach begins with ensuring that these conditions are met both in terms of design and the machinery and equipment that will be used to drive production.
Beyond this, design approach is governed by the required output of a given production facility. This, in turn, is determined by client demand and imposed shipping schedules and deadlines. By establishing partnerships with automakers and other larger production operations, the tire design process is governed by clear outlay of production expectations. Designing the production approach must center on achieving these expectations. For this to occur across multiple settings and with a wide range of partnerships of varying production…
As has been mentioned in the introduction, the four tactics that comprise this strategy include providing a dedicated and exclusive customer service manager to the largest accounts due to their complex, often urgent, and difficult-to-solve problems and requests; the use of value-added promotions and coupons including added services that by themselves would be only marginally successful yet when bundled with other tactics appears to be working; the utilization of segmentation strategies for isolating the unmet needs of customers and designing loyalty programs for them and developing product line extensions to fulfill those needs; and the development of event-based marketing programs to involve and include customers in the major decisions surrounding the company. Our CEO is a big believer in advisory councils and uses these both for market research and customer retention.
The company excels at execution yet relies on anecdotal and a very imprecise methodology for actually quantifying the impact…
Difficult Internal Client
Situational Analysis
Organizational efficiency depends substantially on the ability of all departments, business units, and individual personnel to collaborate effectively toward a common goal. When personality conflicts and the idiosyncrasies of particular team members threaten to interfere with optimal operational efficiency, the entire organization potentially suffers. Therefore, it is necessary for management to establish mechanisms, protocols, and procedures for negotiating around potential barriers posed threats to efficient collaboration and to optimal internal communications.
Statement of Goals and Objectives
The fundamental purpose of this presentation is to outline a method for addressing the potential difficulties posed by difficult internal clients. Ideally, that entails identifying the potential problem in advance before it materializes and manifests itself in operational inefficiency, developing an approach for minimizing any difficulties, and executing that approach successfully. The ultimate goal is to mitigate the potential cost in time, achievement in operational goals, and in human relationships among and…
Ahli United Bank story started, we have been increasing together. We registered our own course, shaped our own story, and boarded upon a journey of achievement for the previous 15 years and plus. We cultivated home-grown capacity, concerned world class knowledge and protracted our reach across sectors and borders. We constructed monetary strength, reinforced by a well-defined plan and a great agreement of discipline, heavy labor and promise. But then again most prominently, we joined and linked with uncountable meticulous and inspirational men, women and industries, helping them prosper and grow and receiving their trust every phase of the way.

Quality Improvement Initiative Project
The purpose the project is to improve patient satisfaction, reduce errors, and improve healthcare by focusing on communication. A brief literature review was performed to find evidence-based best practices that have shown promise for promoting effective communication. The project that is proposed will be a bedside handoff from nurses in the hospital during shift changes. Such an organizational strategy has proven effective in different situations and has actually saved many lives (Federwisch, 2007). There are many advantages to this system that have been documented over the course of many studies.
The primary advantages is that it improves the ability to communicate and allows the hospital staff a better perspective from which they can gain a comprehensive overview of the patients status and prevents a staff member from making critical errors or missing patients' needs. Furthermore, there are already programs developed that have been developed on best practices related…

CUICULUM: CAT IN THE HAT
Good afternoon Judge Jacobs, how is everybody doing? Today, we have a case that needs to be defended. ecently, my client, Donna Mills, used a book called "Cat in the Hat" by Dr. Seuss. Today, I stand to support the book. The reason for this defense is simple. The children's book is being accused of having not developing phonemic awareness. As we know, Phonemic awareness is important since it is critical to reading and spelling accomplishment. Children who cannot decide and operate the sounds inside spoken words have trouble distinguishing and learning the vital print=sound association that is critical to quick reading and spelling achievement. Phonological awareness is essential for learning to read any alphabetic writing system. And plenty of research shows that trouble with phoneme awareness and other phonological proficiencies are a predictor of poor reading and spelling growth.
It is important…

Intel Summary
"the number of transistors incorporated in a chip will approximately double every
months" according to the postulation known as Moore's law (Intel.com. Moore's Law and Intel Innovation. N.D.). Developed by the co-founder of Intel Gordon Moore, the theory he posited has propelled Intel to keep "pace for over 40 years, providing more functions on a chip at significantly lower cost per function, and has described the basic business model for the semiconductor industry" (Intel.com. Moore's Law. N.D.). Intel since its launch in 1968 has been at the top of the technology industry with specialization which encompasses both semiconductors and microprocessors. "A recent survey by brand consulting firm Interbrand, ranked the company as the seventh-best global brand -- outranking clients like Apple Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co. And Dell Inc." (Shannon, K. October 10, 2010). he story behind Intel's forty year ascendance is one of innovation and a commitment to growth, and is…
The microprocessor did not begin with its use in PC's however; this application was quickly ascertained as the PC market exploded in the 1980's with offerings from Apple and IBM. Intel's first foray into this microprocessor market was the 8086 which competed directly with the other big player in the industry Motorola and their 68000. Throughout the 1980's Intel battled Motorola in the market for supplying microprocessor chips to PC makers. With strategic operational plans such as "project CRUSH and "project CHECKMATE," Intel which significantly trailed Motorola in market share authored an impressive turnaround. "Some market segments were three or four to one in favor of Motorola. By the time we finished, it had turned the other way" (Collis, D. & Pisano, G. May 22, 2008).
As the PC market boomed into the 1990's Intel began to realize the vast potential of breadth and scope of this market as well as its significant potential for revenue. Intel's offerings after the 8086 included the 80286 and the 80386, which "brought a major transformation of Intel's organization" (Collis, D. & Pisano, G. May 22, 2008). Initially Intel had sourced manufacturing of the 8086 and 80826 to other firms due to its still heavy spending concentrations in DRAM technology however, with the 386 Intel took responsibility "to commit to supplying the entire needs of the industry" (Collis, D. & Pisano, G. May 22, 2008). This shift meant a massive deployment of resources to production, a move which Andy Grove indicated, "motivated us to get our manufacturing performance up to snuff" (Collis, D. & Pisano, G. May 22, 2008).
As Intel moved toward production control they also faced a new challenge as IBM began developing their own components for use in their PC's no longer needing Intel's product. "Fortunately for Intel a young firm named Compaq rushed to fill the gap" (Collis, D. & Pisano, G. May 22, 2008). Compaq's surge into the marketplace allowed Intel to continue developing microprocessors which were state of the art and industry leading, as well as developing a long-range strategy which
Business Summary
Fortress Finance was incorporated in March 2012 and since then, it has been involved in the business of offering short-term loans to salaried middle-class clients in the state of New York where it maintains active presence.
TARGET CUSTOMER
The company targets the New York's salaried middle-class. The Council of the City of New York, in its 2013 Report on the State of the City's Middle Class, defines the middle class as "households with incomes between 100% and 300% of median income." As of 2013, the state's middle-class working age adults totaled almost 2 million.
CUSTOMER MOTIVATION
According to the Council of the City of New York, the middle-class was worst hit by the 2008-2009 recession. It should also be noted that in the council's own admission, New York is "one of the most expensive places to live in the country." To make matter worse, housing costs have been increasing at a faster…

SOT Analysis:
Strengths
Victory offers customizable bikes with great value and power, according to its promotional literature. I
eaknesses
Victory began as an "offshoot" of Polaris Industries, which is mainly known for marketing snowmobiles and ATVs. Amongst the target audience, particularly in the South and areas where snowmobiling is uncommon, it may have little brand recognition.
Opportunities
The economic downturn and demand for more fuel-efficient vehicles could be capitalized upon as a great opportunity for the company -- more individuals are likely to be seeking out motorcycles as a mode of transportation.
Threats
In a recent head-to-head of Harleys and Victories, one trade magazine said that Victory produced the superior model, but Harley had the better-known name: "It comes down to cooler character of the Harley vs. The better handling, more powerful Cross Country. I know which one I'm choosing," concluded the reviewer (Cherney,…

As it pertains to the physical differences women have to miss some time at work after having a child to allow their bodies to heal. Missing this time from work can be detrimental to pursuing certain management positions. However men who become fathers do not have this same type of barrier. In addition, although many fathers are more involved with the daily care of their children, mothers are still the primary caregivers (Sumer, 2006). With this being understood, women often have a harder time balancing work and family life (Sumer, 2006).
In some cases it may be difficult for women to find childcare and as a result they may not have the luxury of being able to work the long hours that male counterparts can work. Some corporations have attempted to assist working mothers as it relates to childcare by offering childcare facilities in the workplace (Sumer, 2006). It appears…

But there rose the question of whether the Golf Oil Corp. stocks were worth the additional risks and whether they represented a secure source of future profit.

The company that now possessed 21.3% of Gulf Oil's stocks was an old competitor of the corporations'. The two companies, represented by Mesa CEO Boone Pickens and Gulf Oil's CEO James Lee had previously bid against each other in order to purchase Cities Service, auction lost by both companies.
Even if James Lee's motto was "discoveries and acquisitions," in the year prior to the big auction (1984), Gulf Oil Corporation's CEO decided to cut down on the funds destined to new discoveries in the area of oil. He based his decisions on the popular belief that in the near future, the international petroleum price would remain the same, and as such the company could not generate additional profits to invest in new technologies.

Executive Summary
Sears is a retail company that offers a range of products and services via brick and mortar locations and online shopping portals. Its brand focuses on offering quality proprietary brand products and in-home services in an industry that is currently led by larger retailers like Wal-Mart, Target and Amazon, the e-commerce giant that is single-handedly changing the nature of retail today. In order to stay competitive, Sears is focusing on building brand loyalty among the young target market with disposable income—the 25-30 year old demographic; it is differentiating itself from its competitors by focusing on providing quality products and services as opposed to only discounted options. Sears’s main selling point, therefore, is its quality brand products—like Kenmore and Craftsman—that appeal to homeowners, especially to new homeowners who are in a prime position to develop brand loyalty to the types of appliances and services that only Sears can offer.

S. would suddenly lose control of the Alaskan oilfields, that the Chinese would become highly opportunistic in terms of raising oil prices, and finally, selling Unocal to a Chinese-led corporation is tantamount to handing over trade secrets. Dobbs relies heavily on fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) to fuel the debate over not selling Unocal to CNOOC, despite the potential return to shareholders and the fact that China is the world's leading consumer of oil for production today. This fact alone speaks volumes to their need to drop the cost per barrel of oil to continually stabilize their currencies as their economy grows nearly 10% every 90 days during this period of 2005. Mr. Dobbs relies on FUD along with a healthy dose of nationalism to argue against increasing global shareholder value and in turn driving down the costs of energy.
Dobbs (2005) - Chinese Bid to Buy Unocal Was Bad Deal…
In the article Chinese Bid to Buy Unocal Was Bad Deal for America by Lou Dobbs published on August 19, 2005 Mr. Dobbs argues that the sale of Unocal to Chinese-Based Chinese National Offshore Oil Company (CNOOC) is not in shareholders' interest despite the offer being at one point $2B above rival bidder Chevron's bid. Dobbs continues to argue that the value of Unocal is best measured from an egalitarian-like approach to balancing all shareholder constituent needs, from stockholders to employees to institutional stock investors. The discussion of shareholder value is again discussed at the end of the article, this time with the point being made that Unocal, as the provider of a strategic energy resource for the U.S. should be "off the table" as an asset for sale globally. Heralding the work of Representative Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) who was the leader of Japanese-bashing by Congress during the 1980s, Dobbs further discusses the sale of Unocal to CNOOC in the context of a strategic error in a war for energy. To further exacerbate the bleakness of selling Unocal the article also points out that the U.S. would suddenly lose control of the Alaskan oilfields, that the Chinese would become highly opportunistic in terms of raising oil prices, and finally, selling Unocal to a Chinese-led corporation is tantamount to handing over trade secrets. Dobbs relies heavily on fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) to fuel the debate over not selling Unocal to CNOOC, despite the potential return to shareholders and the fact that China is the world's leading consumer of oil for production today. This fact alone speaks volumes to their need to drop the cost per barrel of oil to continually stabilize their currencies as their economy grows nearly 10% every 90 days during this period of 2005.

Leadership Style Book Review: Summary of Book
"Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be broken," reads the quotation on the title page of 17 Essential Qualities of a Team Leader: Becoming the Kind of Person Every Team ants, by management guru John C. Maxwell. The word 'leadership' on its own often brings to mind rather stultifying and outdated modalities of leading by command, much like a general, or cliches about being true to one's values. Besides, few readers will be put in charge of a military unit, or hold the title of CEO -- but virtually every individual who participates in the business world will one day either lead or be part of a team designated to work on a particular product or target area of interest for the company.
To suit the needs of today's marketplace and corporate structure, thus John C. Maxwell offers a different concept and ideal…

By testing real-world functioning via the EFPT, the researchers, as occupational therapists, hoped to provide more accurate information on the ability of subjects to function independently in their day-to-day existence and to perform functions within society (Baum & al, 2008). This study served as a test of the validity and reliability of the EFPT model on patients with mild to moderate stroke, as a follow-up to previous studies of EFTP validity and reliability on subjects with multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia (Baum & al, 2008).

Etisalat Review
Mission & Vision ummary..3
Leadership WOT..4
Etisalat Review
Founded in 1976, Etisalat is a company that has a major name for itself over the course of its existence. Indeed, they are in the telecom and communications sector and they operate in the United Arabs Emirates. The mediums of communications and telecom that they facilitate include wireless, data and voice services. They are led by Charman Essa Mohammed Al uwaidi, Chief Executive Officer Ahmad Abdul Karim Jalfar and Chief Human Resources Officer Abdulaziz Al awaleh. The have a Board of Directors and they are publicly traded.
Mission, Vision & Leadership tyle ummary
The website for Etisalat is very clean and easy on the eyes. They have a very good translation into English and they offer a pretty good summary of the countries and areas in which they operate including udan, Morocco and Mali, just to name a few. Their customer website is also well-done. They…
SWOT
The strengths of Etisalat are numerous. They lead a company that provides telecom services to the developing parts of the world. This takes resolve, discretion and careful planning as well as a regimented organizational behavior standard. Operating in such widespread and different countries requires discipline and strong leadership in each of the member states that an organization operates in. By extension, the organizational behavior and leadership of Etisalat is strong since they are operating in such disparate and different areas yet they are thriving and doing well. A last strength of the leadership can be found on their website and that is the Corporate Social Responsibility Report that was issued in 2012. Examples of Etisalat's strong organizational behavior structure and leadership within this report would include its partnerships with groups like Pacific Controls and others so as to extend their operations and reach into different countries. Other countries that Etisalat has thrived in include Nigeria, Egypt and Afghanistan. They have a multi-pronged approach that is touted by the leadership as being emblematic of Etisalat's strong performance and character which includes employee relations, human rights, public policy participation and society/community involvement. This stands in contrast to many companies that engage in an organizational behavior pattern of shutting people out and not treating other people as equals even though precisely that happens quite a bit in the parts of the world in which Etisalat operations (Etisalat). To cater and serve such areas that are sometimes (but not always) quite chaotic and poor is quite an accomplishment. Indeed, the Telecom World Middle East Awards tabbed Etisalat as the "Best Operator" during its awards in 2014 ("Etisalat crowned," 2014).
A weakness of Etisalat is that while they are doing quite well in chaotic areas, the risks that they encounter are much higher and this would make it much less likely for investors, especially those outside of the Middle East and Africa, to invest a whole lot of faith and money into their efforts. As shown in the three appendices, many of the first, second and third tier of countries in conflict are in Etisalat's market or very close to it. This is a weakness to the leadership and its organizational behavior standard because even with the dialog and strong organizational behavior culture that Etisalat exhibits and touts, they still have a lot of exposure to problems in the countries that they current operate in. It is something that could their business but yet it is largely (but not entirely) out of the control of Etisalat's leadership. Another weakness is that at least part of Etisalat's business is dependent on what is provided to them by others including Sandvine. This positioning and strategy by the Etisalat leadership subjects Etisalat to risks that they could theoretically control but cannot as they have assigned that power to Sandvine

I have two significant experiences in a supportive position that have direct relevance to the executive assistant position for which I am currently applying. First, I was office administrator for the entire San Francisco office for Kim Coates. With little to no supervision, I performed tasks ranging from spreadsheet creation and management to the preparation of budgets. I would answer attorney and staff inquiries, handle office space expansions, and delegate tasks to office personnel. In Kim Coate's absence, I managed to keep the office organized and running effectively according to the mission and goals of the organization.

This should always be the case and bad things will happen again if Toyota stumbles. The fact that Toyota is not a domestic car maker will be used against them by opportunists.
Dealer/Parts Network
A struggle that has been encountered by many car makers is the "complex web" (as the case study calls it) of dealers, parts suppliers, offices and so forth that have to be managed when running a car company. Toyota has nearly nine thousand employees in the United States alone and they (as well as the dealers) are strewn across the United States.
The management of inventories, parts and customer support in general needs to be as complex as it needs to be but it should not be made less simple than it can be. Building up the corporate morass of bureaucracy is idea because it limits the company's ability to react to crises, such as the accelerator problem.…

Website 3 -- the National Anti-Vivisection Society: http://navs.org
The National Anti-Vivisection Society appears to be a legitimate organization with many links to established animal welfare organizations such as the Human Society of the United States and ASPCA. On the other hand, it is more of an advocacy site than an information or news site. The main concept of the organization is based on subjective belief and opinions in connection with the relative rights of non-human animals. While that position actually seems appropriate and more justifiable than the opposite position (i.e. insensitivity to the suffering of animals for human benefit), it is not, strictly speaking, based on objective facts. Because the website is so…

Some big endorsements have gone Mitt Romney's way, from an early endorsement from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, to several endorsements from other republican governors around the country. Big names like Donald Trump have also recently endorsed Mitt Romney, proving that he has strong ties in the fiscally conservative business community. In the states in which Mitt Romney has faced primaries, he has received dozens of editorial and local endorsements from a plethora of different sources.
Mitt Romney is putting all of his time and money into markets he thinks that he can win, but also is trying to reach at least second place in every state that he cannot win. ith this strategy, even in his weak states such as South Carolina, he still appears to be the second favorite, and the strength of his campaign is not questioned. Mitt Romney is most favored in states which have a lot…

G. Lack of Strategic Vision
A strategic vision defines the desired or intended future state of an organization or enterprise in terms of its fundamental objective and/or strategic direction. It represents a long-term view of how things should be. Without a strategic vision, a company may achieve short-term tactical success, but is likely to struggle in the long-term (Greenfield, 2000).
Indeed, Salomon had been successful for many years as Gutfreund assumed the role of "senior statesman and public spokesman" for the bank. As such, his focus was constantly changing. He was rarely at headquarters due to his frequent international travel to support the company's growing investment banking business. A more strategic focus would have realized the importance of compliance in the financial services industry that demands strict adherence to the letter of the law and the company would have responded through the creation of a vision that embraced corporate ethics. This vision…

The site also has a strong set of navigational tools for quickly finding informational elements of information. Lastly and most significantly the site has excellent writing which has been honed through users of research by its authors and by their approach to interviewing practitioners in the key fields of it covered on the site. The investigative style of writing brings the entire site a high level of credibility with readers as well.
What information was expected to be found and was not there in general it is difficult to find sites that report back failures of large it projects as the companies involved do not want their names in the public media. That is one of the larger shortcomings of all sites, yet CIO Insight.com does get to the point of discussing failures at the enterprise level and backs away from naming companies. The site also does not mention specific…

" Nevertheless, the research to date indicates that participative management techniques can provide a major return on the investment. According to Angermeier, Dunford and Boss (2009, p. 127), "Employee perceptions of the extent to which their work climate is participative rather than authoritarian have important implications for critical work attitudes and behavior."
The research to date has confirmed that employees in highly participative work environments outperformed their counterparts in nonparticipative management organizations (Angermeier et al. 2009). For example, a study by Angermeier and his associates found that employees working in participative management settings provided 14% better customer service, committed 26% fewer clinical errors, demonstrated 79% lower burnout, and were 61% less likely to leave the organization than employees in more authoritarian work environment. According to Angermeier et al. (2009, p. 128), "These findings suggest that participative management initiatives have a significant impact on the commitment and productivity of individual employees."

Toward the end of the decade, Wall Street investment firms began hiring PhDs in mathematics and physics to create incredibly complex algorithms capable of modeling elements of the stock and futures markets. In most cases, the creators of these algorithms knew next to nothing about the financial industry, and the executives who employed them knew (literally) nothing about the mechanisms their firms had begun to rely on for their trading strategy. Destabilization of the Home Mortgage Industry:
In the early 1970s, stock analysts at Salomon Brothers, another Wall Street investment firm, developed a new kind of security based on home mortgages, called mortgage-backed securities. In principle, this allowed the conversion of illiquid (i.e. non- tradable) assets like the debt represented by home mortgages to be converted into a tradable commodity for profit. This new form of commercial transaction evolved into incredible levels of complexity after the widespread incorporation of mathematical…

Executive Summary
The financial manager's role is to understand the impact that different internal and external factors will impact the company's ability to achieve its financial and market objectives. The macroeconomic environment has both direct and indirect effects on the company. The major macroeconomic variables such as inflation, interest rates, unemployment, GDP, and exchange rates can all directly influence the financial performance of the company. But these variables also impact on things like government policy, so there are indirect impacts on financial performance as well, and the financial manager also needs to understand these.
The main tool that financial managers use are complex financial models. These models seek to illustrate the impact that different variables have on the company – both internal and external variable. Forecasts are created using different macroeconomic and market variables, and these forecasts can highlight a range of different financial conditions, along with the expected impacts of different…
Merrill Lynch Barge Scenario
Case Summary -- Enron, a Texas-based energy company, was created in 1985 and had such phenomenal growth it was soon the seventh largest company in the U.S. until its bankruptcy in 2001. Enron was involved in a number of scandals, among which was the Nigerian Barge Case. Essentially, Enron attempted to sell interest in three power-generating barges off the coast of Nigeria, but was unsuccessful. By December of 1999, Merrill Lynch agreed to buy Enron's interest. Enron "loaned" ML 75% of the money, offering ML a guaranteed return of 15% on 7 million dollars ($1.05 million in 6 months). Essentially, the entire deal was a fraud, designed only to make Enron appear more profitable than it was. Most of the Enron promises were verbal, and the situation was never really a "sale," but a short-term leverage loan. Enron's objective, in fact, was to improve the way its…

Executive Summary
In 2016, E brought a world class office space to Boston that features natural light, sweeping urban views, reclaimed timber, rooftop PV solar and green roof plantings. The E Boston headquarter building design is consistent with corporate commitments to sustainability and environmental impact. However, it is essential to consider innovative approaches to continue to improve the space for all employees.
Studies document that green plants improve indoor air quality, decrease levels of particulate matter, manage acoustics and increase general wellbeing (Lohr, 2010). According to Terappin (2012), natural design elements including plants have measurable effects on employee health and productivity. The cost of employee absenteeism, staff retention and reduced productivity due to mental stress and fatigue should be should be considered by corporations when designing green office spaces (Terrapin 2012). I will present research to support why E should invest in green plants as well as a feasible plan to add…
