...creates innovative plastic designs using state-of-the-art technologies that have earned them international acclaim. The various business entities of Riordan Manufacturing are using different Financial and Accounting applications and their incompatibility is causing many issues in the day to day operations of the company. In order to improve the productivity and efficiency of the business entities, Riordan management is considering outsourcing the Financial and Accounting Application for all the business entities. Outsourcing this application can provide specialized support, can increase the speed for a quick turnaround, and can reduce costs for maximized profits. This document provides the business context, implementation plan, performance measures and review of the costs and benefits of the proposed solution. Business Context Riordan Manufacturing has three operating entities, and a joint venture with their own Finance & Accounting Systems. These F&A systems are not compatible with each other, and they are from different vendors, and on different hardware and software platforms. Consolidated financial reports are generated monthly at the corporate office based on the input received from the business entities. Due to compatibility issues, Riordan is experiencing many operational difficulties when generating the consolidated financial reports. Business entities submit the input in different formats and types. Data input received in the form of hardcopy reports needs to be...

...m a y t o a n d I s a y t o m a h t o . I started business life in finance (at the Bank of England in London), and in those early days I did not give brands a second thought. My life was dominated by financial facts and figures. And for the first 10 years of my career, I believed that these metrics were essentially all that were needed to manage and run a successful business. This view survived my transition into management consulting—at least initially. But the more I worked on developing value-based business strategies for companies, the more I came to appreciate the need to expand beyond a purely financial approach. If (as management consultant Peter Drucker famously observed) the purpose of business is to create and keep a customer, then strategy necessarily involved understanding and catering to the functional and emotional needs of customers. MM July/August 2008 ❘ 21 EXECUTIVE Brand equity is a widely accepted concept—but its definition is frustratingly elusive. Here we’ll explore the different perspectives that marketing, finance, and accounting have on the topic— and how these can be reconciled. Doing so is important because of the critical role that brand briefing equity plays in the demonstration of marketing accountability. This article puts forward four arguments that marketers can use to show how brand equity is a critical measure for demonstrating marketing’s role in adding to business value. My desire to develop a systematic approach...

...Whirlpool Finance Organization: Whirlpool Corporation is a leading manufacturer and marketer of major home appliances. It had annual sales of more than $18 billion in 2010 and has 71,000 employees and 67 manufacturing and technology research centres around the world. It employs approximately 1,200 finance professionals in 26 countries on every inhabited continent. The majority work in accounting, finance, and shared-service areas, but there’s also a significant finance talent presence in tax, treasury, audit, enterprise resource planning (ERP), and investor relations. There are also specialists in a variety of areas, including economic, enterprise risk management, real estate, information systems, and product innovation. The company’s general organizational design for finance is to locate talent as close as possible to business activities. Finance talent is found in Whirlpool factories, sales offices, R&D functions, and regional headquarters around the world. Finance directors and VPs often have dual reporting relationships—to their business units as well as the office of the CFO. Because Whirlpool has a significant global presence, a great number of its talent base must have higher-than-average skills in U.S. GAAP, currency management, and IFRS. Aside from a strong emphasis on leadership development and finance technical competence, skills in Six Sigma, innovation, and employee engagement are highly valued Vision: Transform the finance organization’s capabilities at Whirlpool...

Our goal was to understand finance executives’ concerns with working capital management in the wake of global recession, as well as their plans for improving working capital performance. We asked finance executives a series of questions about the impact that the recession had on their working capital management, which areas of working capital their companies would focus on during the course of economic recovery and whom their companies worked with to improve working capital management. We also asked about current and planned levels of usage for specific, automated cash-management and tradefinancing techniques. Overall, our research reveals the following main points: • In Europe, effective management of working capital has assumed greater urgency as market demand is slow to return and short-term credit remains...

...tirelessly to improve the state of HR measurement and to help both HR professionals and senior executives understand its importance. These efforts started out at the nuts and bolts level—creating definitions for basic HR metrics such as compensation, staffing, hiring and retention. This work laid the foundation for gathering comparable data across organizations, which in turn, enabled the benchmarking of HR metrics. Over the years, a number of scholars and practitioners expanded the benchmarking of HR metrics to include investments in training and developing employees, as well as in a broad array of other HR policies and practices. Refining and improving the benchmarking of HR metrics remained a primary area of focus throughout much of the 1980s and 1990s. This benchmarking focus, while helpful in informing HR professionals about how their organization’s HR metrics stacked up to comparable or best-in-class organizations, provided little by way of actionable business intelligence on how to gain competitive advantage through people. It also contributed to an often unhealthy belief by HR professionals in simple one-size-fits-all solutions: something to the effect of, “If we can just look more like our competitors on some standard HR metrics, then we have done our jobs.” During the past decade, this has begun to change. Advances in the software used to automate transactional aspects of the...

...of market capitalization. AZO’s growth has outpaced its rivals in recent years. It has met great success with its retail “DIY” outlets, with its commercial sales to local repair garages, with its private-label line of replacement parts, and with its online sales through the Autozone.com website. AutoZone’s progress to becoming the largest publicly-held replacement auto parts supplier in the US can only be described as very impressive. Joseph Hyde III opened his first store in 1979 with the name “Auto Shack.” The opening in Forrest City, AR followed Hyde’s ventures in other specialty retail areas, including drug stores, supermarkets, and sporting goods retailers. All of these ventures were opened under the umbrella of his family’s public business, Malone & Hyde. Mr. Hyde focused on quality control, knowledgeable staff, and long retail hours, all aimed at the “do-it-yourself” customer. Stores were clean and bright, and the firm sought to locate in areas where car...

...702596 Valuation 1 Ever since the seminal contribution of Modigliani and Miller (1958), a key result of corporate finance theory is that a project's cash flows should be discounted at a rate that reflects the project's risk characteristics. Discounting cash flows at the firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is therefore inappropriate if the project differs in terms of its riskiness from the rest of the firm's assets. (Kruger, Landier &Thesmar 2011) According to Modigliani and Miller when discounting a projects cash flows, the projects risks must be adequately reflected, in the case of New Earth Mining, the riskiness of the project is not adequately reflected. New Earth is traditionally a mining company who is traditionally a precious metal mining company; the proposed project is intended to diversify New Earth’s business operations. New Earth Mining’s operations have traditionally been central to the United States of America, and denominated in USD. The new venture is in South Africa, a completely different terrain, a different governing body, a different set of legal restraints, risk of mining a different commodity as well as a different currency namely ZAR.(West 2012) A company using a single firm-wide WACC would tend to overestimate the NPV of a project whenever the project is riskier than the typical project of the company.(Kruger, Landier &Thesmar 2011) As Kruger, Landier and Thesmar have highlighted, the proposed NPV of $83 million could potentially...

He remains in touch with the business and found way to communicate the vision of the business to all the employees. He found ne an innovative source of revenue, for example the joint venture with Biotech that enabled him to support research funding.

...Analysis of LMB hotel in HR metrics perspectives Introduction The raising importance of human resource in organizational operation has increased the needs for contemporary HR to become a strategic partner as finance and marketing do (Lawler III, Levenson and Boudreau, 2003). Therefore, rather than just understand and introduce HR activities and practices, it is more vital for organization to test all aspects of them (in efficiency, effectiveness and impacts). Regarding to the LMB case, if LMB want to go through this difficult period, rather than only adopt HR practices, they should also conduct a comprehensive HR metrics system to facilitate the performance evaluation. This essay will firstly briefly introduce the HR metrics and discuss the importance of HR metrics theoretically. Then, it will identify problems LMB confronts with and propose policies to improve the LMB’s approach to HR metrics. Before giving a conclusion, evaluation of the proposed solution will be presented. Definition and Importance of HR metrics HR metrics, according to Stone (2014), ‘involves a systematic analysis and evaluation of the efficiency and effectiveness of the HRM function and its contribution to the achievement of the organization’s strategic objective’. In a broader view, there are three types of HR metrics—efficiency, effectiveness and impacts—that companies could adopt to evaluate the impact of HR practices on business strategy and organizational performance (Boudreau and Ramstad, 2003)....

...required for a HR department to be strategic are: 1) Be transformational, not transactional 2) Think about your structure 3) Be credible – have educated, experienced, trained HR practitioners 4) Provide value for services CHAPTER 2 BE TRANSFORMATIONAL, NOT TRANSACTIONAL Ans1 Line department: This department is essential for the survival of the organisation. For example: In the manufacturing company, manufacturing department, finance department and the sales department are the line department and these department are essential for the existence of the organisation because manufacturing company cannot survive without these departments. As these departments manufacture the product and arrange the finance for the company and also sell the products. Staff department: In contrast, Staff departments are the department, which exists to help the line department in its activities. The staff departments are to advise, counsel and assist the line departments. Like in manufacturing company, the department, which is not manufacturing department, finance department and sales department, is a staff department. There is also one more point to contrast these department like if the company has to reduce the people or department then they would like to eliminate staff department rather than line department. This does not means that the staff department is not essential, it is essential but the line department is more essential and the company must have it at any cost. Ans2 HR practitioners...

...Journal of Case Research in Business and Economics Application of Six-Sigma in finance: a case study A. Ansari Seattle University Diane Lockwood Seattle University Emil Thies Zayed University Batoul Modarress Zayed University Jessie Nino Seattle University ABSTRACT In recent years, companies have begun using Six Sigma Methodology to reduce errors, excessive cycle times, inefficient processes, and cost overruns related to financial reporting systems. This paper presents a case study to illustrate the application of Six Sigma Methodology within a finance department. Specifically, the case relates to the Continuing Account Reconciliation Enhancement project undertaken by the finance department of a major U.S. defense contractor. The goal of the project was to streamline and standardize the establishment and maintenance of costing and planning for all business activities within the current financial management process. The Six Sigma implementation resulted in a significant reduction in the average cycle time and cost, per unit of activity, needed to produce the required financial reports.
