...University, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. The authors thank Professor Ron Premuroso for his helpful contributions to this manuscript. PAGE 42 j utsourcing is an arrangement in which one company (the client) hires another company (the service provider) to perform a particular function on its behalf. It involves the transfer of the management and/or day-to-day execution of an entire business function to an external service provider. Based on a contractual agreement that defines the transferred services and fees, the client agrees to procure the services from the supplier for the term of the contract. Outsourcing has become more global and extensive in its scope, involving more business functions and complex contractual arrangements (Tadelis, 2007). As customer needs have evolved, so have service providers’ desire to ‘‘move up the value chain’’ and claim a larger share of the customer’s wallet. From simple information technology (IT) and business process (BP) contracts for cost savings, outsourcing arrangements now encompass research and development (R&D) and product innovation activities as well (Weeks and Feeney, 2008). These strategic outsourcing arrangements are for those processes where the service provider can compensate for some client weakness beyond...

...MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES LESSON 13: FACTORING – THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK Lesson Objectives • • • • • • • Finance Maintenance of accounts Collection of debts Protection against credit risks”. To understand the Concept of Factoring. Methodology of Factoring and Forfeiting. Types of factoring. Introduction Receivables constitute a significant portion of current assets of a firm. But, for investment in receivables, a firm has to incur certain costs such as costs of financing receivables and costs of collection from receivables. Further, there is a risk of bad debts also. It is, therefore, very essential to have a proper control and management of receivables. In fact, maintaining of receivables poses two types of problems; (i) the problem of raising funds to finance the receivables, and (it) the problems relating to collection, delays and defaults of the receivables. A small firm’ may handle the problem of receivables management of its own, but it may not be possible for a large firm to do so efficiently as it may be exposed to the risk of more and more bad debts. In such a case, a firm may avail the services of specialised institutions engaged in receivables management, called factoring firms. At the instance of RBI a Committee headed by Shri C. S. Kalyan Sundaram went into the aspects of factoring services in India in 1988, which formed the basis for introduction of factoring services in India. SBI established, in 1991, a subsidiary-SBI Factors Limited with an...

...necessary that a bank has a proper credit profile that guides the credit operation of the bank in an effective manner. For proper management of credit each and every bank follows the profile for smooth approval, direction, monitoring and review of lending operation. Bank’s may fall into engulfing crisis or may wind up with consumption of capital if they do not practice proper Appraisal and approval process and loan classification and provisioning system on their advance. Appraisal and approval process of a bank loan application involve a series of activities. These activities reveal a true element of banking intermediation ranging from establishing relationship with a stranger (walk-in customer) to structuring a credit line for the existing clients.

The central bank, as a controller of financial discipline, usually issues guidelines on loan appraisal and approval as well as loan classification and...

...* Classless routing in a network. * Examples of classless routing protocols are RIPv2, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP and BGPv4. The following protocols support the VLSM (variable length subnet mask) and CIDR (Classless inter-domain routing protocol). Classless routing protocols send the subnet mask as well as the network address in the routing update. If I was working for an established or new company that needed a lot of hosts, I would choose classless because you can set the amount of hosts. Unlike classful routing where the amount of hosts are automatically set. For example if you have an IP address of 192.165.1.2 and you need 1024 hosts then your subnet mask would be 255.255.252.0/22 the slash 22 is the CIDR. This says that I borrowed 22 network bits to come up with 1024 hosts. IP classless routing is used to tell the router: To not drop any packet when the default route is configured. Which Means to use classless addressing that is not bound to a network class A, B or C used by Classful routing. * SWITCHING IN ETHERNET (LAN’S) The most common used network is a local-area network (LAN). Ethernet is the most used and often shared-media of an LAN. Most if not all Apple computers and PCs come with 10/100 Ethernet ports for home use. The ports facilitate a user to create a small home bound network although connect to the Internet via a DSL. A 10/100 port means that the network interface supports both 10BASE-T at 10 megabits per second (Mbps) and 100BASE-T at 100 Mbps. In...

...Case Analysis for Exel PLC Fei Xue 3/20/2014 Exel plc was established in 2000 by the merge of MSAS and Exel Logistics. The merger also boosted Exel plc’s business in both freight management (FM) and contract logistics (CL). In 2003, Exel plc ranked the 1st in contract logistics area and the 5th in freight management area. At the same time, Exel plc was the largest provider of both freight management and contract logistics, which enables Exel plc to serve its customer from manufacture to store. Also in 2003, freight management industry and contract logistic industry totally worth 270 billion dollars. As a logistic provider, Exel plc’s core business was freight forwarder and warehouse operation, other business included local transportation, value-added services and software installation, etc. From another point of view, we could safely draw a conclusion that those businesses were also Exel plc’s clients’ most interested outsourcing supply chain activities. But why? By taking a close look of those activities, we could categorize them into capital intensive, labor intensive and talent intensive. For example, freight forward and warehouse/distribution operation need investment in building warehouse/distribution center and transportation tools, which are very capital intensive. Other activity like value-added services are always labor intensive, such as assembling. Talent incentive can be seen in coordination and software installation, which also need a lot specialized...

...but generally things are OK.” As they were providing this assessment, those of us on the anecdotes team just looked at each other in astonishment and replied, “So, you didn’t hear about the soldiers who are showering in their own urine because their recycling system is broken or hear about the workshop where everyone wears protective footwear because some poor fellow lost his toes in an accident but no one wears protective eyewear because they have never had an eye accident?”. We had heard story upon story of major transgressions that weren’t picked up in the structured interview approach. This experience confirmed our assessment that a narrative approach is great for yielding new, and otherwise hidden, insights. A number of years and many clients later, we have seen that there is something even more important narrative techniques provide: a resolve among people to do something about the situation and a frame for mapping how to do so. Stories provide people with a keener awareness of their current situation, a clearer vision for their desired state, and a palpable sense for why and how to close that gap. As a result, a narrative approach to change and continuous improvement enables organisations to better prepare themselves for dealing with today’s complex challenges and...
