Q2The Outdoor Furniture Corporation manufacturing two products, benches and picnic tables, for use in yards and parks. The firm has two main resources: its carpenters (labor force) and a supply of redwood for use in the furniture. During the next production cycle, 1,200 hours of labor are available under a union agreement. The firm also has a stock of 3500 feet of good-quality redwood. Each bench that Outdoor Furniture produces requires 4 labor hours and 10 feet of redwood; each picnic table takes 6 labor hours and 35 feet of redwood. Completed benches will yield a profit of $9 each, and tables will result in a profit of $20 each. How many benches and tables should Outdoor Furniture produce to obtain the largest possible profit?
Q3 MSA Computer Corporation manufactures two models of minicomputers, the Alpha 4 and the Beta 5. The firm employs five technicians, working 160 hours each per month, on its assembly line. Management insists that full employment (i.e., all 160 hours of time) be maintained for each worker during next month’s operations. It requires 20 labor hours to assemble each Alpha 4computer and 25 labor hours to assemble each Beta 5 model. MSA wants to see at least 10 Alpha4s and at least 15 Beta 5s produced during the production period. Alpha 4s generate $1,200 profit per unit, and Beta 5s yield $1,800 each. Determine the most profitable number of each model of minicomputer to produce during the coming month?

ARTICLE REVIEWS- IPhone 5C: Cheaper for Apple, not for you

April 24, 2018 4 Comments Uncategorized

magazine articles related to marketing channels, retail strategy, or inter-organizational behavioral relationships. The article should be dated no longer than twelve months from the date you are presenting the article. Each review should be no more than two pages in length. Each review should include a concise summary of the chosen article along with relevance to class discussion. Please
This is the artcle I find http://money.cnn.com/2013/08/28/technology/mobile/iphone-5c/bestessaysden.com
All article reviews MUST follow the prescribed format. Each article review assignment will have three sections and shall be NO MORE than 2 pages.
Section 1: This section is a brief synopsis of the article itself. This section should be NO MORE than 1-2 paragraphs long. Do not write a two page synopsis of the article.
Section 2: In this section, you should show me how the article directly and specifically relates to material in class. This can be material we covered in class or will cover future meetings. Reference lectures, chapters in books we use in class, and/or articles we discuss in class. This section should be NO MORE than 1-2 paragraphs.
Section 3: Finally, you need to do an analysis of the article. This analysis should be a critique of the strategy taken or business decision made. For example, if the article is about a company’s new advertising campaign targeting a new market, you can critique the article by indicating whether or not you think this particular decision/strategy is a good one. You should, therefore, be very careful about the articles you select so you can give a good critique of it (i.e. one where it is clear that a company/manager is taking some kind of action). I am not interested in the writing style of the author, so please do not critique how the article was written, but rather what was written.
It may be useful to label the sections of your assignment as follows:
Section 1: Synopsis
Section 2: Relation to Class
Section 3: Analysis
STANDARDS FOR WRITTEN WORK
Writing well is an important business skill that will be noticed. Poorly written information is also noticed, but it leaves a negative impression of the writer’s business skills. If a written assignment is too time consuming to correct because it is poorly written, the instructor will not grade, but return it to be rewritten. There are some steps that you can take to save the instructor’s and your own time. Use spell check. Always proofread your work. It is essential to plan ahead so that there is time to set your assignment aside before proofreading it. You might ask a friend with good skills to proof your work. If your writing skills are weak, ask for help at the writing resource center. Your instructor will apply the following standards when correcting your work, and they should guide your proofreading efforts.
GENERAL STRUCTURAL PARAMETERS
Introduction
1. Are the purpose and subject clearly stated?
2. For long papers, are the main points introduced and/or the structure of the document explained?

STANDARDS FOR ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Presentation skills are an asset that will get you noticed in the business arena. People with good presentation skills are more likely to win the contract, get the raise they are requesting, and be seen by others as a leader. The business curriculum was designed to give students numerous opportunities to practice their presentation skills. The following standards are designed to guide students in their presentations and instructors in grading them.
STRUCTURE
Introduction
1. Has the presenter (or group in the case of group presentations) introduced him/herself (themselves)?
2. Are the purpose and subject of the presentation clearly stated?

ORGANIZATION
1. Is information organized to facilitate understanding?
2. Do ideas flow logically?

STYLE
1. Is the language specific, natural, professional and business-like?
2. Do group presentations come across as a coherent whole rather than as several different presentations patched together?

VISUAL AIDS AND HANDOUTS
1. Are aids and handouts suited to the purpose and audience?
2. Are visual aids visible to everyone in the audience?

5. Do visuals and handouts enhance rather than detract from the presentation?
6. Does the presenter stand to one side of the aid so everyone in the audience can see? Does the presenter talk to the audience and not the visual aid?
7. Has the presenter mastered the technology used to present aids prior to the actual presentation?
PLATFORM TECHNIQUES
1. Reading a presentation verbatim is deadly (OK, maybe deadly is an exaggeration, but terminally boring and an insult to your audience!) and will result in a low grade no matter how good the content may be. NOTE: One of the advantages of being in school is that you can practice and learn new skills without suffering serious consequences like losing a job. The business faculty will view your efforts to try a presentation with limited notes much more favorably than reading your material verbatim. This will apply even if you should stumble in your efforts. It is better to practice and master this skill now than wait until you have an important presentation on the job. Of course, working with limited notes does require that you practice beforehand.
2. Is the presenter poised and in control?
3. Are the presenter’s posture and movements appropriate?
4. Are the presenter’s gestures effective?
5. Does the presenter establish and maintain an effective relationship with the audience through eye contact, smiling, spontaneity, and talking to rather than through them?
6. Is the speaker animated and enthusiastic?
VOCAL TECHNIQUES
1. Is the presenter’s speech clear and distinct?
2. Do the voice pitch and quality enhance the presentation?
3. Is the presenter’s rate and intensity of speech acceptable?
APPEARANCE
1. Is the speaker clean and well groomed?
2. Is the speaker wearing professional business attire?

American society

April 24, 2018 3 Comments Uncategorized

American society

Write an essay, four to five pages long, which accomplishes the following four tasks.  (You do not need to follow a particular order or structure—just make certain that the essay accomplishes these four things.)

1.    Write a definition of how American society looks at the idea success by employing the four ways of defining words described above.

2.    Next, take the essays assigned from Rereading America, and, using evidence from the essays you choose, explain to your reader how TWO of the following authors, Mantsios, Ehrenreich, Murray, or Davidson, defines success.

3.    Juxtapose your idea of success with each writer’s idea of success; that is, cite and comment on the most important one or two differences between each author’s ideas and your own ideas about success, and comment on why this difference (or differences) is (are) important.

4.    Tell us what you think success is. Be specific, and develop your definition with examples. Avoid generalities in your definition.  Explain why you have embraced this definition of success

Thesis:  Your thesis should follow something like the following format.

http://retiredlecturers.com 

While [essay authors’ names] believes that success is primarily defined as [            ], I believe that success finds its foundation in [            ].

Advice:

Introductions:  Begin your essay with an introductory section that engages the reader in the topic. , Give your reader something to think about. Indicate briefly which essays from Rereading America you will be analyzing.  End with the thesis statement

Developmental Paragraphs:  Use textual evidence in your essay as you discuss the essays of the writers you have chosen.  When you come to you own definition of success, it would be wise to consider referring to ideas from the two essays you have chosen to show to what degree the essays have affected your own definition.

Conclusion:  Consider using your conclusion to bring a sense of closure to your essay by referring back to your introduction.  One way of doing this is by confessing that you don’t have the subject of success completely figured out yet, and expressing to the reader your doubts.  These doubts and the reader’s questions maybe alignment, and thus you may be giving the reader something to think about.

Essays from Rereading America:  In order to do well on the essay, you will need to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the essay you have chosen.

Peer Editing:

You’ll be using your editing groups.  I would like you to edit TWO ESSAYS EACH.  Concentrate on the following issues in your editing responses, which will be sent to the two writers via email:  (1) Which writing/grammar problems hold the essay back most in terms of effectiveness? (2) How well does the thesis address the essay assignment?  (3) Is the writer accomplishing the tasks prescribed in the essay assignment?  (4)  Does the writer have a good understanding of the essays that she or he has chosen to write about?

Divided: A Comparison Of Hardy and Hopkins

Divided: A Comparison Of Hardy and Hopkins
For this assignment, you will write a thoughtful essay of 1500 words and incorporate information from at least four scholarly, outside sources (this means sources other than the course texts).
It is often said that, unlike Walt Whitman or Emily Dickinson, the modernist poet is caught between two worlds, “one dead and one powerless to be born.” In a carefully argued and well-documented essay, 

  • …….
    …..

demonstrate this “divided” modern sensibility at the crossroads, glancing backwards toward the monuments of the past and looking forward toward an ambivalent future in the poetry of any TWO early Modernist poets.
Your essay must be a comprehensive and detailed discussion of the poets and include major works. The interpretations that characterize the writer’s speaking voice as “caught between two worlds,” or as various gradations of traditional or futuristic, should be substantive and supported by specific examples from the readings. The discussion should be informed (aware of the major motifs of modern poetry) and consider both the content and the form of the poems.
The two poets I have chosen for this assignment are Gerard Manley Hopkins and Thomas Hardy.

Its a journal

April 24, 2018 3 Comments Uncategorized

final reflective report should to look at the systems that enable management to make decisions. How are the following measured:

…….
….

• Customer Satisfaction
• Staff Satisfaction
• Financial performance
• Environmental performance
• Risk

How effective are these instruments and how do management use them to make decisions?

All organisations use various systems to measure their performance. For instance, Hilton Hotels regularly use a Service And Loyalty Tracking system (SALT). They send guests an email survey to find out the satisfaction of the person during their stay. They only count 9’s or 10’s as passing scores. So any survey that is returned with an 8 or below is considered failing or a “Zero” in that area.
Intercontinent uses the “Heart” score and so on etc…

The scores from these surveys are then used by the leadership group to measure areas such as satisfaction, performance and loyalty. All departments have to react to these surveys on a regular basis. What kind of a systems have hotel/restaurant? How is it used? Is it a useful tool?

Organizational Learning and Learning Organizations

April 24, 2018 4 Comments Uncategorized

Organizational Learning and Learning Organizations
Organizational learning (OL) refers to situations where, to increase effectiveness, managers work on improving their ability to understand and lead the organization and the task environments. In his book, The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization, Peter Senge (2006) states that managers can promote organizational learning and create a Learning Organization by:
  • Developing personal mastery.
  • Building complex and challenging mental models.
  • Promoting team learning.
  • Building shared vision.
  • Encouraging systems thinking.
Using the University online library resources, locate a minimum of three different scholarly sources on OL.
Respond to the following:
  • From a manager’s standpoint, discuss the applicability of OL to your current workplace (or to a company you know well) in order to improve its performance.
  • Explain what kinds of actions and changes to the organization need to be implemented to achieve this goal.
Write your initial response in a minimum of 400 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
By Friday, January 3, 2014, post your responses to the appropriate Discussion Area.
