... April 24, 2016 LEG: 505 Government Contract Law Assignment 1 A company’s reputation is vital when it comes to creating a successful business, and the majority of business a company receives is based on how the company displays their ethics. It is one of the most important aspects of business, and determines the longevity of a business. When building a business, it is said that loyalty is key. If the customers or clients a company receives are extremely loyal, it is usually converted into free publicity. Many customers will continue to give their business to a company that they feel have strong ethical codes, which is why ethics is so important in business. The growth of a business depends on a company creating a clear, concise Code of Conduct so that there is an overall understand of what is expected of each employee within the business. RP Services is a company that is built on integrity and has made it its mission to protect all information with the most advanced products and services.

...University of Washington Graduate School of Business Finance 553 Midterm Assignment Rocky Higgins February 10, 2004 In less than five, double-spaced, typewritten pages, plus any exhibits, please answer the following questions about MW Petroleum Corp. This assignment is worth a maximum of 100 points. 1. (10 points.) Apart from any quantitative analysis, are there any reasons to anticipate that Apache Corporation’s acquisition of MW Petroleum might be a positive net present value activity for Apache, for Amoco? Explain. This looks like an attractive deal for both parties. Amoco does many things well, but managing smaller, marginally productive oil and gas fields apparently isn’t one of them. This is a chance to unload some properties that because of their high cost structure, Amoco can’t manage profitably. Apache, on the other hand, has low costs and is an efficient operator of small- to medium-sized properties. The company has grown significantly in recent years by acquiring less well-run properties and applying its “rationalize and reconfigure” strategy. The MW Petroleum properties appear to offer the opportunity to continue this strategy. If Amoco can strike a price wherein Apache shares some of its operating savings with Amoco, both parties can generate positive net present values from the transaction. Acquisition of MW Petroleum may also reduce the volatility of Apache’s cash flows by making them less dependent on gas. Although this may not...

Elaborate structures, systems, rules, and reporting relationships do little more than provide guidance for such behaviour — they do not produce it. Eliciting the needed behaviour is the job of managers. Increasingly, firms are also dependent on more than mere compliance to the dictates of management. Rather, a firm’s competitive success rests on its ability to respond quickly and flexibly, to innovate, and to continually improve. To achieve success, the organization requires the commitment of its members...

...rP os t 9-699-022 REV: MAY 6, 2002 ROBERT D. AUSTIN RICHARD L. NOLAN MARK J. COTTELEER Cisco Systems, Inc.: Implementing ERP History of Cisco op yo Pete Solvik, Cisco Systems chief information officer (CIO), considered the last remaining line item of his ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) implementation budget. Cisco had a history of rewarding performance with cash bonuses, but the amount allocated for rewarding the ERP team, over $200,000, was unprecedented. To be sure, they had delivered a lot in a time frame that no one had believed possible. It had not been easy either. The team members, Solvik included, had taken a risk in joining the project. Rewards should, and would, be generous. The size of the bonus pool, though, made Solvik think: they had done well, but how well? What had gone right? What had gone wrong? Given another project of this magnitude and risk, would they be able to do it again? No tC Cisco Systems, Inc. was founded by two Stanford computer scientists in 1984 and became publicly traded in 1990. The company’s primary product is the “router,” the combination of hardware and software that acts as a traffic cop on the complex TCP/IP1 networks that make up the Internet (as well as corporate “Intranets”). With the rise of Internet technologies, demand for Cisco’s products boomed and the company soon began to dominate its markets. By 1997, its first year on the Fortune 500, Cisco ranked among the top five companies in...
