...interaction could be best described as a matrix relationship. In that case there was a dual sources of influence on product and subsidiary management. Stabilizers had experienced an annual growth rate averaging less than 3% during the 1980s. They were considered as a matured industry as all potential applications have already been discovered and no rapid growth was expected. To enter the market, the company tried to convert customers from Barium to Tin (the company’s variety of stabilizer) with initial discounts of 2 – 3% below Barium prices and a better product performance. The entry strategy placed its sales attention on the segments for which price played a relatively significant role. Producers to whom the cost ratio of stabilizers was high. ACE was not the sole supplier of Tin in the market, but for the others it accounted for a minor share of their stabilizer sales. Tin stabilizers were sold through a specialized sales force in all the subsidiaries. They were compensated primarily on a fixed salary and they were able to manage their sales quota through few large clients by offering them discounts. There was Conflict among subsidiaries. Selling was too price oriented which led to the underutilization of sales force potential. Conversion was a time-consuming process and the proportion of selling time spent on it had declined since the mid-1980s. Due to matrix structure performance measurement indices for product management and subsidiary management would be different. Product line’s...

...It was a misty and foggy mundane day in the bright city of Manhattan where I awoke to the sound of whistles christening the air, signaling the matrix of commuters riding to work. As I gently moved my fingers across my rugged face, I could feel the wrinkles, as deep as trenches. I live across the scenic Empire State building where my guitar and I rejoice by playing euphonic tunes. I busked for a living and was in need of money. On the odd day, I would save up to play poker, contemplating and hoping one day that it would lead me to immeasurable riches and fortune. The game of poker is a fascinating game, because despite the silence across table I could sense the players’ feelings of frustration, suspicion and anxiety, exacerbated by the stuttering of poker chips. Although I could sense the inner cry of the players, the game itself is quite calm and serene, a place of tranquility, yet there are murmurs. As I strolled towards the opulent casinos, my mind was a blank canvas, apart from the few momentary mental images of my loose game plan and repertoire of poker faces. I walked through mezzanine of the building only to engulf by the surrounding piercing stares of dilettantes. I could feel them conjuring cynical thoughts of an old grimy man, but this did not deter me from goal. As I pulled the lavish gold embossed chair from behind and took my seat, I called nearby waiter and ordered my poisonous liquor of choice. The awkward silence of the room became palpable, like...

...This assignment was designed put us, the student in a situation where we are placed in the supervisor position. In this assignment put the supervisor in a position of having to pick and choose what tasks to do themselves and what tasks should be delegated out after coming in and finding their basket full of tasks that need to be dealt with. When you obtain the position of supervisor, there is usually far too much for just you to do, therefore it is important to learn what to delegate and who to delegate it to. The most important tasks should be done by the supervisor but as far as things such as someone’s vacation hours and stocking merchandise for the store, those tasks should be delegated out to the assistant manager and to the store clerks. Being a supervisor means being in a role of leadership, logic, common sense, and decision making for yourself, the employees, and for the company. The “in Basket” debate and discussion gives us and our fellow classmates the opportunity to see if we can successfully delegate out certain tasks as a supervisor at a fictitious company. The discussion between me and fellow classmates was a great one and it appeared as though everyone agreed on everything accept for different incidents. The only two incidents where I came across disagreement were in regards to task number 3, and task number 4. These are the examples in which I will be using in this paper as far as disagreeing is concerned. Task number 3 is in regards to the mall hours changing...

She reports she has been gaining 1 to 2 pounds every day since her discharge. 1. What error in teaching most likely occurred when M.G. was discharged 10 days ago? You chart the medications M.G. brought with her: Enalapril (Vasotec) 5 mg bid, digoxin 0.125mg qd, rosiglitasone 4 mg, furosemide 40 mg qd, potassium chloride 20 mEq qd. The admitting provider orders all the medications but changes the furosemide to 40 mg intravenous push (IVP) qd and 80 mg IVP now. 2. What is the rationale for changing the method of administering furosemide? 3. You administer 80 mg furosemide IVP. Identify three strategies you would use to monitor the effectiveness of this medication. Most heart failure admissions are related to fluid volume overload. Patients who do not require intensive care monitoring can most often be treated initially with IVP diuretics, oxygen, and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. 4. How do ACE inhibitors help in CHF? 5. M.G.’s symptoms improve with intravenous (IV) diuretics. She is ordered back on oral furosemide once her weight loss is deemed adequate to achieve a euvolemic state. What will determine if the oral dose will be adequate to consider her for discharge? 6.
