...Business Research Report Title Presented to: Assessment Code: RWT1 Student Name: Name Student ID: xxxxxxxxx Date: 10/03/2012 Mentor Name: Dayna Haydon Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 Introduction 4 Research Findings 4 Finding Number 1 4 Finding Number 2 5 Finding Number 3 5 Recommendations 5 Conclusion 6 References 7 Executive Summary The main objectives of this report were to evaluate and determine if business ethics and corporate citizenship initiatives would increase employee efficiency within the workplace, the impact of these programs on the reputation of the organization and their effect on the organization’s relationship with employees, investors, and customers. A variety of relevant books and modern journal articles were used to research on this subject. The review of these articles and books revealed that corporate social responsibility initiatives play a fundamental role in building the image of the company as well as strengthening the organization’s relationship with its customers. Ethical programs on the other hand guide employee actions and in effect minimize any points of conflict that may arise within the workplace thereby increasing workplace efficiency and overall employee productivity. Ethical programs also ensure that financial reporting abides by the stipulated standards. This ensures that the information contained in financial reports is reliable and therefore increases...

...Strategic management can be defined as the systematic analysis of the factors associated with customers and competitors. Strategic management allows organizations to strategically align policies to ensure efficient management is consistently obtained (Business Dictionary, 2011). Through strategic management, organizational leaders are able to assess their strengths and weaknesses and leverage them in order to monitor, evaluate, and plan accordingly. In this paper, the author will describe the primary components of a strategic management process and explain the importance of a company having a strategic management process. The author will also describe the strategic management process used at FedEx Corporation that makes them a leading force in their industry. The concepts and techniques of strategic management are widely used by organizations to help their companies remain competitive and decrease the likelihood of costly errors (Wheelen & Hunger, 2010). Strategic management is a continuous process that has four phases that outline the set of strategies an organization should use to achieve better performance (Management Study Guide, 2010). The first phase of the process refers to the financial planning managers use to develop a budget to be used for company activities during the year. The second phase involves forecast-based planning which allows managers to review the budgets and determine their feasibility on a long-term basis. Externally oriented planning in phase three...

...that identifies current and future human resources needs for an organization to achieve its goals. It means forecasting an organization’s future demand and supply for employees, based on its business needs; and subsequently developing and employing the strategies required to meet these needs. It involves a gap analysis between current HR supply and future demand. Strategies are then developed to address the gap and may involve recruitment, internal staffing, development, training, contracting and partnering, and activities relating to downsizing. “Forecasting future needs” implies understanding the future business directions of the organization so that the HR needs can be appropriately identified. HR planning can be conducted at the organization level or at any component level but a key to success is always understanding and linking to business direction. HR Planning always starts with understanding the business needs of the organization. There may also be a need to further develop and refine plans for the strategies that are going to be employed and this may result in separate, or integrated, staffing plans, training plans etc. But HR planning is more than just a numbers game: it also involves identifying the organization’s HR management goals and expected results, identifying strategies and activities to achieve those goals, and measuring organizational progress towards their achievement. Organizations that engage in this level of planning do so because they are aware of and...

...Jennifer DiTomasso Jacobsen U63594427 January 31, 2005 Case Study: South American Adventures Unlimited 1. To what extent does project management apply to Adventures Unlimited? Each one of their tours is an individual project, since each has a beginning, middle, and end, which have classic project phases, including a definition or selection phase, a planning phase, and an execution phase. Project management involves budgeting of resources, and their resources include their administrative staff and tour guides. In addition, project management includes project selection: the Rodriguezes need to be able to accurately anticipate the costs of each tour that they consider undertaking, so that they may make wise decisions about which tours to operate. Project management includes financial analysis, for instance calculating the net present value of each tour that they are considering offering. In addition, since their tours involve many details, the project planning methods taught in project management would be helpful for them as well. Using gantt charts to plan out the details of each tour would help them to avoid problems that they have had in the past, for instance, having missed a train connection in Blanco Puente. Project planning with Gantt charts would also help them to clearly delineate the details involved for each tour, and to be able to not only plan the logistics of each detail, but anticipate the cost of it as well. 2. What kind of training in project...

Assessment Tasks Assessment Task 1: Assessment Task Case Study: IKEA: A Long March to the Far East Schedule Week 4 Performance Criteria: Outcomes Assessed 1.1,2.1,2.2, 4.1 Also addresses some elements of required skills and knowledge as shown in the Assessment Matrix Description: From its humble beginning as a small general retail store in a village situated in the south of Sweden, IKEA has grown into the world's largest furniture retailer with 279 stores in 36 countries today. Specialising in furniture and home decoration, IKEA has an annual turnover of 19.8 billion euros (source: IKEA, www.ikea.com, accessed 25/03/2012). The IKEA catalogue is printed in 52 editions with 25 languages, with a global distribution in excess of 160 million copies. IKEA sees the Far Asia as an emerging market still in its infant stage. Its number of retail outlets in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong are very small and comprises a mere 3% of the company's total sales. These stores were expected to be more successful in the near future. IKEA's imminent strategic expansion into this region exemplified its ambitions to dominate this emerging market. This Case Study illustrates how IKEA's ventures into China and Japan are laden with unique marketing challenges which it had not encountered before in other international markets. Read the attached case (Case Study: "IKEA: A Long March to the Far East" - Source: Oxford University Press) and ...
