...Jennifer Hall, Housekeeper Date: December 27, 2011 Subject: Communication Assistance Attached you will find my proposal to implement communication assistance in the housekeeping department. I feel that with this little extra effort on my part, we are able to accomplish this assistance. The housekeeping department currently has many non-English speaking employees. With the communication assistance I have planned out it will not only benefit our department but also the Marriott. With all the hard work it could be a company wide acceptance for a new policy. There is a possibility that when this is complete the other employees could step in and help with defining the process. Doing this as a whole department will make all the employee’s feel like they are a big part of this accomplishment. This will also boost the ego of the department which will enhance customer service. As I have understood you have tried this before but it was not effective. With the hard work that I have put into this we will make it successful for everybody. So with the existing information and new information we have a much better chance of success.

...Exchanges With Industry Before Receipt of Proposals (4-4) Part 15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) “prescribes [the] policies and procedures governing competitive and noncompetitive negotiated acquisitions.” One component of negotiated acquisitions that occurs early in the acquisition process is the solicitation of proposals. FAR 15.201, titled, “Exchanges with Industry before Receipt of Proposals,” regulates the type and manner of communications, also sometimes referred to as exchanges, which can – and cannot – take place between the Government and potential suppliers prior to the receipt of a potential supplier’s proposal and the subsequent award of a contract. This paper will address a few of the various types and formats of exchanges that might occur between the Government and potential suppliers prior to the Government’s receipt of proposals, and the manner in which some of these exchanges are to occur; some of the legal, regulatory, and logistical considerations that a Program Manager, Contracting Officer, or other Government participant in the acquisition process might need to be mindful of when conducting discussions; and the diligence and care that must be utilized by the Government team members when conducting exchanges with potential suppliers before the receipt of proposals in order to avoid issues that may arise later in the procurement process. Exchanges of information can take place either before, after, or both before and after the official...

...“Disclosure of Certain Contingency Losses” Exposure Draft Critique Contingencies refer to existing conditions, situations, or sets of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible gains or losses to an entity that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur (ASC Glossary). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an exposure draft in July 2010 relating to additional disclosures relating to certain loss contingencies. FASB argues the necessity of this proposal arises from concerns of investors and other financial statement users relating to disclosures about loss contingencies under the existing guidance. Proponents argue that existing guidance does not provide adequate information to assist users in assessing the likelihood, timing, and magnitude of future cash outflows associated with loss contingencies (Exposure Draft, 1). Although the exposure draft intends to improve financial statement transparency, the balance between “issuing an improved standard must be maintained against possible prejudicial impacts that could adversely affect a company and its investors” (pwc.com) The first issue of the exposure draft relates to amounts that must be disclosed based on expert testimony. The exposure draft proposes the requirement of disclosing estimated amounts of reasonably possible and remote losses based on the testimony of an expert witness (Chadbourne and Park LLP). This disclosure is flawed and may be misleading...

In a Retirement Plan, money is put aside in a retirement account in the name of the employee, purposed for the future of the employee. With a good Retirement Plan, an employer can provide a wide range of benefits to a retired employee and motivate employees to experience longevity and decrease turnover rate. With certain requirement mandated by law, employers According to Martocchio (2015), “the importance of employer-provided retirement plans is evidenced by a study showing that employees with employer-provided retirement plans are more likely to have sufficient savings for a comfortable retirement than those who do not have these plans” (pg. 465). This paper will discuss a proposal describing two retirement plans, identify specific requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; and a design of a communication plan and encouraging employee participation.

Employers initiate retirement plans for employees as either Defined Benefit Plans or Defined Contribution Plans. Defined Benefit Plans will guarantee retirement benefits to an employee...

...Persuasive Communication The proposal team is to convince the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to agree to implement a solution. The article suggests understanding all sides provides the best results for a decision. The proposal submitted to BGP’s CEO provides communications from all sides and a solution for all sides. The article looks at the differences in arguments which are a form of persuasive communication. Persuasive communication is an attempt to make change or agreement to a person or groups point of view. The article peaks in to how “one-sided” and “two-sided” communication is used to persuade results of a particular subject. The author provides case scenarios and analysis that show outcomes of each type of communications. The article has relevance to the Big Game Production (BGP) scenario based in the methods of effective communication. It examines two experiments to contrast between the two and explains the results of each. The outcomes show that both communications are an important part of persuasive communication. When comparing the article to Big Game Production scenario it is seen that in order to be persuasive through communication it’s important to look at all options to be able to present the best results. “The first group was presented with a recording outlining the arguments for the prosecution and defense. This case on both sides were presented as one-sided and two-sided versions, the outcome resulted, in as predicted, in neither primacy nor regency” (Insko...

...The issue in the given situation is whether revocation of offer by post is effective due to the lapsed of time. Section 4(3)(a) of the Contract Act 1950 defines that the communication of a revocation is complete as against the person who makes it, when it is put into a course of transmission to the person to whom it is made, so as to be out of the power of the person who makes it. Proposal can be withdraw by communicating the notice of revocation by the proposer to the party to whom the proposal was made. Revocation of offer by post is effective is defined in Section 5(1) of the Contract Act 1950 provides that a proposal may be revoked at any time before the communication of its acceptance is complete as against the proposer, but not afterwards. Time is prescribed in the proposal for its acceptance. Under Section 6(b) of the Contract Act 1950 defines that a proposal is revoked by the lapsed of the time prescribed in the proposal for its acceptance, or, if no time is so prescribed, by the lapse of a reasonable time, without communication of acceptance. In the case of Ramsgate Victoria Hotel Co Ltd v Montefiore, the applicant had applied for shares but was not told until a certain date that his offer had been accepted and allocated to him. Now the balance owing on the shares was due. So the applicant refused to pay and the company threatened to sue him alleging breach of contract. It was stated that the offer to purchase shares had not been accepted within a reasonable...

...One of the suggestions I would make to improve the current proposal if I were part of Woodmere’s top management team is researching HomeHelp. Although this is one of the first steps Smith took upon requesting a business planning meeting, it is extremely important that a thorough research is done. The one fact that would linger in my mind is that this strategy is one that’s not been done before. Gathering as much information on HomeHelp to ensure they achieve the expected benefits is crucial. What may work for HomeHelp may not work for Woodmere. So, the research would need to be done from both angles to ensure both companies are going to reap benefits. I would also research the basics, as Smith has done. How many stores does HomeHelp have? What is the geographical locations of said stores? What are the percentages of their products being sold? Is there room for unprofitable product to be eliminated to make room for any additional costs that may be incurred during the transition. One of the things that HomeHelp does that Woodmere does not is, “HomeHelp is the first major palyer in their market to offer on-line ordering” (fillin 436)....
