...primary focus for any business hoping to create sustainable growth. Lawrence Sports, a fictional company, is presently in need of capital management analysis and methodology overhaul. Included in this paper is a discussion of the issues, opportunities, values and solutions that the firm should be considering. The 9 step problem solution model is the format used to take the reader through critical identification, evaluation and implementation of elements that will transform a problem into new growth opportunity. Lawrence Sports is a $20 million dollar revenue company that assembles and distributes sporting goods. The focus of the scenario is to provide the opportunity for the student to develop solutions to trade off issues, thus establishing stability for the firm. Mayo, who is a retailer responsible for 95% of sales, is hindering Lawrence from paying raw materials suppliers. Unfortunately, this cash positioning problem is direct result of the Lawrence credit policy and the Mayo request to delay payment until the week of April 14-20. Borrowing money to deal with supplier payables is not an option, due to the $1.2 million dollar maximized bank limit. Therefore, this paper will strategize from the perspective of a financial manager who will turn a working capital problem into the chance to design a new credit policy, implement cash management models and introduce risk mitigation techniques. A credit policy that is too liberal will continue to cause damage to Lawrence Sports...

...Steven Royster IT/205 Matthew Juliana 25 March 2012 The IT department wants to replace their old CRM with a new CRM solution. The only problem is that their existing hardware is old and out of date thus will not support the new CRM. I have been called in to not only access the situation but to analyze what equipment will be needed and help install the equipment. This has to be done before the new CRM can be installed and implemented. Before all that can happen I first must come up with a report for the executives that talks about the five project management variables and how they relate to the upcoming project. I will also discuss what considerations should be thought about as to get the company the best value and what factors will influence the project risk along with how to keep those risks down to a minimal amount. In order to get the picture of how the new CRM will work out the five major variables of project management must be analyzed to see how they will fit in to the scenario. The five major variables are scope, time, cost, quality, and risk. Every one of these variables will play a role in this project so I will discuss each one: 1. Scope defines what work is or is not included in a project. For this particular project there will be a scope for new networking equipment as well as computer equipment to implement the new CRM. The borderline of the scope for the project must not be crossed because it can possibly mess up one of the other variables which is time...
