...Preparing an Effective Case Analysis Michael Hitt, Duane Ireland and Robert Hoskisson Using the Case Method The case method brings reality into the classroom. When developed and presented effectively, with rich and interesting detail, cases keep conceptual discussions grounded in reality. The case method can help you develop your analytical and judgment skills. Case analysis also helps you learn how to ask the right questions. Students aspiring to be managers and business owners can improve their ability to identify underlying problems, rather than focusing on superficial symptoms, through development of the skills required to ask probing, yet appropriate, questions. The particular set of cases your instructor chooses to assign the class can expose you to a wide variety of organizations and managerial situations. This approach vicariously broadens your experience base and provides insights into many types of situations, tasks, and responsibilities. Finally, experience in analyzing cases definitely enhances your problem-solving skills. Furthermore, when your instructor requires oral and written presentations, your communication skills will be honed through use of the case method. Of course, these added skills depend on your preparation as well as your instructor's facilitation of learning. However, the primary responsibility for learning is yours. The quality of case discussion is generally acknowledged to require, at a minimum, a thorough mastery of case facts and some independent...

...Linked List Problems By Nick Parlante Copyright ©1998-2002, Nick Parlante Abstract This document reviews basic linked list code techniques and then works through 18 linked list problems covering a wide range of difficulty. Most obviously, these problems are a way to learn about linked lists. More importantly, these problems are a way to develop your ability with complex pointer algorithms. Even though modern languages and tools have made linked lists pretty unimportant for day-to-day programming, the skills for complex pointer algorithms are very important, and linked lists are an excellent way to develop those skills. The problems use the C language syntax, so they require a basic understanding of C and its pointer syntax. The emphasis is on the important concepts of pointer manipulation and linked list algorithms rather than the features of the C language. For some of the problems we present multiple solutions, such as iteration vs. recursion, dummy node vs. local reference. The specific problems are, in rough order of difficulty: Count, GetNth, DeleteList, Pop, InsertNth, SortedInsert, InsertSort, Append, FrontBackSplit, RemoveDuplicates, MoveNode, AlternatingSplit, ShuffleMerge, SortedMerge, SortedIntersect, Reverse, and RecursiveReverse.

...CHAPTER 1 SOLUTIONS ------------------------------------------------- Solution to Assignment Problem One - 1 The circumstances under which a general provision of the Income Tax Act can be overridden are as follows: 1. In those situations where there is a conflict between the provisions of an international tax treaty and the Income Tax Act, the terms of the international tax treaty will prevail 2. While court decisions cannot be used to change the actual tax law, court decisions may call into question the reasonableness of interpretations of the ITA made by either the CRA or tax practitioners. 3. In some cases, a more specific provision of the Act will contain an exception to a general rule. For example, while ITA 18(1)(b) does not allow the deduction of capital expenditures in computing business income, ITA 20(1)(aa) contains a provision that allows the deduction of landscaping costs. Solution to Assignment Problem One – 2 Some of the possible examples of conflicts between objectives would be as follows: 1. Revenue Generation and International Competitiveness The need to lower rates of taxation in order to be competitive on an international basis is in conflict with the need to generate revenues. 2. Fairness and Simplicity In order to make a tax system simple, a single or small number of tax rates must be applied to a well established concept of income with only a limited number of deductions or exceptions available. This is in conflict with the goal of...

...Addition Simplification Problem Statement Bart Simpson is a student in the nursery school and is just learning how to add. The sum of multiple numbers needs to be calculated and the numbers can be either 1, 2 or 3 to make the calculation easier. Bart Simpson however, can calculate the sum only if the numbers to be added are in a non-decreasing order. For example Bart can calculate 1+1+2+2+3+3 but not 2+1+2+3+1+3. You have to help Bart to rearrange the numbers such that it is easy for him to calculate them. Input Format First line contains an integer 't' denoting total test cases. Next 't' lines contain non-empty string s - the sum Bart needs to calculate. String doesn’t contain spaces and contains only digits and the '+' character. Length of string s <=100. t<=100. Output Format For each test case, the new order displayed in the format such that Bart can count followed by a new line. Sample Input 4 1 2+2 3+2+1 2+2+1+1+3 Sample Output 1 2+2 1+2+3 1+1+2+2+3 Explanation For the above cases, output is displayed in the format such that Bart can calculate it.

...in The LNM Institute of Information Technology, Jaipur (INDIA) Abstract—We introduce a nonparallel classifier knows as nonparllel support vector machine(NPSVM) for the purpose of binary classification. Proposed NPSVM is totally different from the existing non parallel classifier, such as the generalized eigenvalue proximal support vector machine (GEPSVM) and the twin support vector machine (TWSVM). NPSVM has several incomparable advantages:1) Two primal problems are constructed implementing the structural risk minimization principle; 2) The dual problems of these two primal problems have the same advantages as that of the standard SVMs, so that the kernel trick can be applied directly; 3)The dual problems have the same elegant formulation with that of standard SVMs and can certainly be solved efficiently by sequential minimization optimization algorithm, while existing GEPSVM or TWSVMs are not suitable for large scale problems; 4) It has the inherent sparseness as standard SVMs; 5) Existing TWSVMs are only the special cases of the NPSVM when the parameters of which are appropriately chosen. Experimental results on lots of datasets show the effectiveness of our method in both sparseness and classification accuracy, and therefore, confirm the above conclusion further. NPSVM is a new starting point of nonparallel classifiers. support hyperplanes, have been proposed. In the twin support vector machine (TWSVM), it seeks two nonparallel proximal hyper planes such that each hyper plane...

... The method of solving a problem is known as an algorithm.It is a sequence of instructions that act on some input data to produce some output in a finite number of steps. Properties:- a) Input:An algorithm must receive some input data supplied externally. b)Output:An algorithm must produce atleast one output as the result. c)Finiteness:The algorithm must terminate after a finite number of steps. d)Definiteness:The steps to be performed in the algorithm must be clear and unambiguous. e)Effectiveness:One must be able to perform the steps in the algorithm without applying any intelligence. All algorithms basically fall under two broad categories-Iterative and Recursive algorithms. Iterative Algorithms typically use loops and conditional statements. Recursive Algorithms use a divide and Conquer strategy. As per this,the recursive algorithm breaks down a large problem into small pieces and then applies the algorithm to each of these smal pieces. Determining which algorithm is efficient than the other involves analysis of algorithms. While analyzing,time required to execute it determined .’time’ represents the number of operations that are carried out while executing the algorithm. While analyzing iterative algorithms we need to determine how many times the loop is executed. To analyze a recursive algorithm one needs to determine amount of work done for three things: i.breaking down the large problem to smaller pieces. ii.Getting...
