...Individual: Communication Paper Suzanne Beal BCOM/230 October 08, 2012 Hank Parisi First I want to take this opportunity to welcome you to ABC Accounting, Inc. I am very confident that you will follow in my footsteps to lead this team to success. I want to take this time and give you a few words of wisdom that I have acquired through the years to help you make this transition go as smoothly as possible. Your main responsibility here at ABC Accounting is to maintain a cohesive working team. One of the more challenging responsibilities will be introducing new employees to the team members. Here are some of the barriers that you could encounter and some suggestions for some possible solutions. One of the most common barriers that you will come across is what I call the no it all’s. On occasion you have someone join the team who thinks they have the answers to everything. You need to be careful with this because you do not want to deter them from sharing their thoughts neither do you want them to steal the show. Always allow them the chance to give their input because sometimes their ideas are a welcomed change. Another barrier that you may come across is personality clashes. This can be tricky because you do not want to look as though you are taking sides so give each person a chance to speak and see if you can work out the differences together. You may also encounter those who are reserved and just listen without giving input...

...A Proposal for Trainers to Train Employees to use Microsoft® Office Programs For: ABC Agency 1285 Altama Avenue Brunswick, GA 31520 Submitted by: Ashley Lance Supervisor of the Administrative Division February 9, 2014 A Proposal for Trainers to Train Employees to use Microsoft® Office Programs. DESCRIPTION, PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE TRAINING I would like for the trainers to teach my staff how to use Microsoft® Office properly and efficiently. We have recently upgraded our software and the staff is not familiar with the changes that have been made. This training will help the staff be able to do multiple projects in a timely manner and look professional. They are having a hard time navigating around the changes in Microsoft® Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. When they learn how to use these properly, it will save them time and make them happier employees. BUDGET & COST ESTIMATES We can currently afford to pay trainers $100-$200 a day for classes. I would prefer for the trainers to be on site to help with any problems but a web conference will also acceptable for a lower price. We would like to have the trainers on site for five days but the class sizes will vary according to the application that is being used. We have the money for training on February 17, 2014. TERMS AND CONDITIONS We already have the programs installed on the employees’ laptops. Most employees will be able to attend the class but I would like to have make-up sessions for employees...

...CHAPTER 4 ° SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ENVIRONMENTS 114B CASE 4-2 Disney Learns to "Act Local" on the Global Stage The Walt Disney Company, home to Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and other iconic characters, has a stellar reputation in many parts of the world for its family-friendly entertainment offerings. The company's parks and resorts division operates theme parks in five global locations, including a recent $1.8 billion park in Hong Kong. Disney's fabled studio entertainment unit has an illustrious history in both animation and live-action features. The Lion King, released in 1994, is the highest grossing animated film of all time. More recently, Disney has enjoyed massive hits with live-action features. These include Pirates of the Caribbean and its sequels as well as classic American fare such as the TV show High School Musical. However, despite high worldwide awareness levels of the Disney brand, as of 2006 only 25 percent of the company's revenues came from outside the United States. Historically, the Disney team has created products at its headquarters in Burbank, California, and then exported them to the rest of the world. Now, as the company targets China, India, South Korea, and other emerging markets, it is departing from its "one size fits all" approach. One factor driving the strategy change: the first-year visitor count in Hong Kong fell short of the target figure of 5.6 million people. This prompted company executives to step up efforts to educate the Chinese about...

...Walt Disney Case Analysis Corporate Strategy The Disney brand is extremely well known, but most may not realize how diversified the company actually is. The company is made up of media networks, theme parks and resorts, studio entertainment, consumer products, and interactive media. Walt Disney Company’s corporate strategy involves three aspects; creating high-quality family content, exploiting technological innovations to make entertainment experiences more memorable, and internal expansion. Disney wants the whole family to be involved. Much of their success is due to targeting not just children, but the entire family. The movies and shows they release are done with family in mind. Theme parks and resorts, Disney Cruises, live performances and interactive media are all aimed at creating high quality family content. Disney acquired Pixar, Marvel, and Playdom in order to satisfy their second corporate strategy. The acquisition of Marvel and Pixar was intended to enhance Disney’s animation abilities to make experiences more memorable. Playdom gave the company new online gaming capacities that Disney hoped would help to improve its struggling interactive media division. UTV was acquired to facilitate its international expansion efforts. Disney’s international expansion strategy mainly focused on opportunities in emerging overseas markets. As of 2012 The Disney Channel was available in more than 100 countries and reached 75 percent of viewers in China and Russia. This was...

...behind ABC’s decision to close ABC shops (Battersby 2015) on the basis of strategic evaluation of both external and internal environment by applying analytical tools. The possible outcomes of this action will be critically assessed. Analysis 1. External As reported by Owens (2015), the main consideration of management is the disappointing profitability of ABC shop. Macro environment is evaluated by applying PEST and Porter’s Five Forces framework introduced by Jones (2015). PEST Political: Compared with industry-level, ABC group is facing more significant political impact at company specific level. On the one hand, the state-owned ABC benefits from large government funding as it enables ABC to carry out robust long-term strategy with clear income forecast. As discussed by McNair and Swift (2014), ABC has been acknowledged as producing good-quality news to serve public interest. On the other hand, being public means ABC suffers more political tension than private media. Especially when the Australia government announced to cut ABC funding by $ 254 million despite promising not to before the election (Hutchinson 2015), currently ABC is confronted with big challenge of delivering consistent service with less budget, keeping good relationship with successive government while remaining political-neutral in broadcasting, reminding people of its achievements and promoting public image to weather the storm. Overall, cutting funding gives ABC a hard time and enforces the company...

...make your budget a mystery. 6. Identify all pricing upfront. 7. Determine vendors’ implementation process for proper planning. 8. Maximize the relationship with your software supplier. The RFP that I found was from the Michigan Work! Association. They were asking for proposals on a rolling 3 year training program. It was unclear whether bids had to be for one year or all three years. There was some evidence that bids could be submitted for a single year or up to the total 3 years. Specific dates were set for the submission of proposals for each separate year. It is difficult to determine if all of Weidenhammer’s best practices were followed. Some of them would take place behind the scenes, such as getting input from key people. However, it is clear that they did not list a budget or even a price range for the proposals they wished to receive. They did ask for very detailed outline of all costs, including cost of living increases for the consecutive years. In most cases the RFP seemed to follow Weidenhammer’s best practices except for not giving a firm budget. They asked for specific information on and were realistic in the things they wanted included. They stated what factors would disqualify a proposal, and offered a points program that outlined the importance they placed on certain sections of the project. The only real improvement I could see would be to include a budget or at least a price range that would be acceptable to them....
