...International Financial Management – 6E - 2011 Chapter 19 1. An effective cash management system should be based on a cash budget that projects expected cash inflows and outflows over some planning horizon. It provides for the orderly receipt and disbursement of cash. It also provides for funds organization, where cash shortages are covered by borrowing at the most promising rates and surplus funds are invested at the most beneficial rates. Within an MNC the complexity of the cash management process is compounded because the firm does business in a variety of currencies and the cost of foreign exchange transactions. is an additional measurement to be accomplished. 2. Under a centralized cash management system, the cash manager will have a global view of the cash necessities of the MNC. There will be less chance that funds will be misallocated, like, denominated in the wrong currency. Additionally, under a global view, transaction exposure for the MNC can be more professionally managed. A centralized system readily allows for investing excess cash at the most beneficial rates and borrowing to cover cash shortages at the most favorable rates. Under a decentralized system, the local cash manager is given more responsibility for managing the cash needs of the affiliate than under a centralized system. Consequently, the local cash management position serves as good training for higher level positions within the affiliate or MNC. Also, under a decentralized system, local bank...

This is happening due to lack of integrative planning across different functions. Each functional unit is trying to maximize their own performance, which in turn is hampering the overall performance. The current appraisal and reward system is increasing this isolated and non-cooperative working of the different functional units. ▪ The sales department to improve their sales want to have high finished goods inventory ▪ The production department wants to have high inventory of raw material to have uninterrupted production schedule. They are not interested in implementation of Just-in-time inventory methods to reduce the overall cost. ▪ The current control and reporting system does not provide enough good quality data to guide management decision process. For example, no record for work in process is kept in the company. ▪ The accounts department is making the budget without getting any information from functional units. This way the budgets are not realistic and reflect only an accounting necessity rather than a decision making and control tool. ▪ The cash management system of the company is not good and company is facing the cash management problems.

...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...

The Service Concept: Are the benefits (service package) offered to the client as well as the efforts of how benefits are designed, marketed, delivered and perceived both by the client, by the employee and by others. The Image: The information tool whereby management can influence staff, clients and other stakeholders. The Culture and Philosophy: Are the overall principles of how the social process leading to the delivery of the service benefits are controlled, maintained and developed long term. The Delivery System: Is a triad consisting of personnel, client and the technical and physical support. * Personnel: As a service is co-produced together with the client, the personnel’s appearance, education, training and attitude matter greatly to the quality of the entire service. * Client: Equally as the client contributes to the service they are receiving their role is vital to the quality of the outcome. *...

...able to access the EHR system. HIPAA has included provision in the Security Rule that allows for remote access, but with certain limitations. I have included provision that restricts remote access based on Job Role and Job Necessity(ISO 27002:2005, 7.1.1), and restricted to assets that are owned by the hospital which have enhanced security (ISO 27002:2005, 7.1.1) (NIST, 164.312(a)(1))(ISO 27002:2005, 11.4.2). The Application Deployment policy aims to close security loop holes that appear to have been open for months before the EHR system was even deployed. There were no check on accounts when importing, and no alerts when permissions were escalated. Some of the key standards that I see as aiding in creating this policy is better change management (ISO 27002:2005, 10.1.2) (NIST, 164.308(a)(5)(ii)), operating system auditing after patching (ISO 27002:2005, 12.5.2), a better separation of development systems (ISO 27002:2005, 10.1.4)(ISO 27002:2005, 11.4.5)(ISO 27002:2005, 12.4.2), and better security on the production system (NIST, 164.312(a)(1))(NIST, 164.308(a)(5)(ii)(D)).

Patel Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago Service Strategy ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) framework is considered as a set of best practices for IT Service Management (ITSM). This framework is widely used by many IT service providers to deliver quality IT services that adds value to customer and aims at attaining the business objectives. It consists of different processes and functions which are divided among five stages of service life cycle. Service Strategy is the first stage in this life cycle. “ITIL Service Strategy provides guidance on how to view service management not only as an organizational capability but as a strategic asset” (Cannon, 2011). It helps in designing, development and implementation of IT services that aligns with the business strategy and thus allowing service providers to think and act in a strategic manner. Service Strategy Principles Utility and Warranty Value of service consists of two components: Utility (fitness for purpose) and Warranty (fitness for use). According to Cannon (2011), Utility is the functionality offered by a product or service to meet a particular need. It refers to those characteristics of a service that contribute to tasks associated with achieving business outcomes. It is used to improve performance of these tasks and/or to remove constraints that prevent the task from being carried out sufficiently. Warranty is an assurance that a product or service will meet its agreed...
