GANDHI, A. HUSSEIN, K. MANOHARON. N. NURU S. CHANDE, C. CHAHAL, N. GANDHI, A. HUSSEIN, K. MANOHARON. N. NURU THE PROPOSAL There were 15 million discharge summaries produced for admissions into hospital last year. A staggering 80% of these were found to be inaccurate or incomplete and another 70% of these were reported as being severely delayed on a regular basis. This compromise to clinical care and patient safety is simply unacceptable. Our empirical market research has found that the majority of junior doctors, the principal users of discharge forms, were unhappy with the current systems in place. It has also been reported that on average junior doctors spend more time carrying out admin duties than in formal training and teaching sessions. There are electronic discharge systems present however, these have been described as insufficient as they lack comprehensive coding and in some circumstances...

...Introduction The Indian television market was all set to witness a high-end technology product launch in April 2009 as Samsung, Panasonic, LG and TCL announced that they would be introducing LED TV in India. LED TVs used 40% lower electricity [5], contained no mercury and were made of environment friendly products [6] With the existing LCD TV market, which used normal crystal display technology, LED used light emitting diodes(LED) in their panels LED TVs costed 30-40% more than LCDs. This price came down with the emergence of many players in the market. According to a study by McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), the Indian per capita income is likely to grow three folds over the next two decades making India the world’s fifth largest consumer market by 2025. Some of the key trends that have led to this increase in spending are listed below: * Higher disposable income and availability of finance * Affordable products * Continuous innovation * Competition to drive sales * Availability at large retail stores and online market places. A potential customer visiting an electronics showroom in India, may not decide to buy what he sees in the first visit. Since he has more than one place where he can buy from, offering various discounts, freebies, payment options etc the consumer can weigh all his options before he makes an informed choice. The sales of LED TVs like other consumer electronic items is seasonal in nature. Festivals like Diwali, Christmas and Eid...

...Executive Summary ------------------------------------------------- How An Information System Can Significantly Improve An Organization’s Operations Information Systems are becoming the back bone of today's businesses and a critical part of operations for mid-size to large businesses. The massive volumes of data being collected and utilized by organizations need to be organized, stored, and made readily available for effective processing, analyses, and decision support. Information systems provide a variety of services which aide in many essential business practices, some of which include decision making, risk management, and transaction processing. Quick Optics, a manufacturer and distributor of reading glasses, provides a typical scenario where the lack of an information system is causing the organization to realize negative consequences. The current practices of Quick Optics utilize manual processes which are prone to error, use time inefficiently, and will ultimately result in the company’s downfall if they do not quickly design, develop, and implement an information system. In order to propose and develop a suitable information system for Quick Optics, this document will elaborate on the following objectives: * Describe the current procedures and business practices of Quick Optics * Clearly define the problems with the current system of Quick Optics * Identify the level and profile of the users that the new system is intended for * Identify...

...Jennifer Kim Valero corner store 123 Main St. Houston, TX 77002 Executive summary Jennifer Kim Valero corner store 123 Main St. Houston, TX 77002 Executive summary Purpose This report examines the effects of the recession and competition on visiting traffic to convenience stores (c-stores) and offers recommendations on opportunities to increase stops. Key Findings From 2007-2009, traffic has reduced from 491K to 373K visits in an average 30-day period. Additionally, the convenience channel has blurred as other outlets, such as supermarkets, warehouses, and drugstores sell gas and grab n’go options. Therefore, the research draws attention to the changing c-store landscape. * The demographic of c-store consumers are 65% light, 25% moderate, and 10% heavy users. Top reasons for visits are convenience and quick shopping. Product selection, price, store appearance, and restrooms are lagging but rising in importance. * How people are using c-stores has changed also. Specifically shop only visits are increasing and dual visits for gas and shop are declining. Furthermore, time of day effects consumer visits with each time slot having distinctly unique priorities and product selections. Another key aspect effecting c-store landscape is competition from quick service restaurants (QSRs). Consumers perceive that QSRs offer better food, flavor and quality. On the other hand, c-store competition in the beverage arena varies based on category due to consumer priorities...

...Executive Summary For over one hundred years, Harley Davidson, Inc. has excelled in providing consumers with distinguishing style and exceptional quality. They continued to grow and increase profits in the face of much adversity. Their 2003 gross profit margin of 36.02% (Appendix A) was an outstanding example of how they were able to hold high profit margins in such a competitive industry. However, although they have had a strong grip on the American market, 50.3% in 2003 (Appendix A), they remain a luxury item in most foreign countries which has left them much room for expansion globally. Many of Harley Davidson’s internal process worked to their advantage. They always excelled at continuously improving their products, processes, and operations. Employees also stayed involved in the organization (Vision, 2008). Management of the company consistently came up with inventive and intriguing ideas, such as the HOG membership and their Open Road Tour, while continuing to maintain close observation of and strict control of operations. However, not all is well internally in the organization. As mentioned previously, the company has an extremely strong U.S. customer base and had real troubles when trying to acquire more market share internationally (Citarrella and Watson, page 2). They also stayed too focused on the luxury line of products possibly missed on opportunities to acquire more market share through more economic products.

...4/11/2016 Purdue OWL Welcome to the Purdue OWL This page is brought to you by the OWL at Purdue (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/). When printing this page, you must include the entire legal notice at bottom. Contributors:Elyssa Tardiff, Allen Brizee. Summary: This resource describes why outlines are useful, what types of outlines exist, suggestions for developing effective outlines, and how outlines can be used as an invention strategy for writing. Four Main Components for Effective Outlines Ideally, you should follow the four suggestions presented here to create an effective outline. When creating a topic outline, follow these two rules for capitalization: For firstlevel heads, present the information using all uppercase letters; and for secondary and tertiary items, use upper and lowercase letters. The examples are taken from the Sample Outline handout. Parallelism—How do I accomplish this? Each heading and subheading should preserve parallel structure. If the first heading is a verb, the second heading should be a verb. Example: I. CHOOSE DESIRED COLLEGES II. PREPARE APPLICATION ("Choose" and "Prepare" are both verbs. The present tense of the verb is usually the preferred form for an outline.) Coordination—How do I accomplish this? All the information contained in Heading 1 should have the same significance as the information contained in Heading 2. The same goes for the subheadings (which should be less significant than the headings)...

...Tyler Reames October 14, 2013 American Greetings Executive Summary – FIN 3717 Executive Summary American Greetings is the second largest greeting card publisher in the U.S., behind Hallmark. The company is involved in retail and online sales. Hallmark is the main competition for American Greetings. In recent years, social media has caused a decline in the greeting card industry. Both American Greetings and Hallmark have begun creating electronic cards to take advantage of the digital revolution. Problem By the end of 2012, American Greetings was at the bottom of its peer group, with a low EV-EBITDA multiple, market-to-book below 1, a 6x PE ratio, and a share price of $12.51 that had dropped significantly in the months prior. American Greetings has historically used a share repurchase strategy in times of low equity. This is a good defense if the stock price is down temporarily, but the low valuation could also be a sign of larger trouble where it would be wise to preserve cash. Both S&P and Value Line anticipated modest growth for American Greetings in the coming years. Analysis We conducted an analysis for 2012 through 2015 to determine the value of the company. Our analysis began with calculating the operating cash flows (OCF = operating income * (1 – 0.4) - ∆NWC): Operating Cash Flow (millions) 2011 118 2012 83 2013 86 2014 88 2015 91 Operating Cash Flow (millions) 2011 118 2012 83 2013 86 2014 88 2015...

...Consulting Case Memo -- Outline Executive Summary While this section appears first, it should actually be the last thing you write. * The executive summary should be no more than one page. * Executive summaries are not “introductions.” They do not provide background. * Everything discussed in the executive summary should be explained in greater detail in the body of the memo. * If the only thing someone reads is your executive summary, your reader should have a good understanding of the problem, your proposal, the most important cost(s), and the most important benefit(s). Problem Statement Identify the problem in business terms. State clearly why the owner, president, or CEO should care about addressing the problem you’ve identified. Proposed Solution Identify the one most important action the company or organization needs to take to address the problem. Be as specific as possible in describing your solution. Costs of the Proposal Be as inclusive as possible when thinking about costs. Consider things like opportunity costs and the impact of the proposed change on the organization’s culture in addition to the more obvious financial costs. Identify every possible objection to your proposal. Why hasn’t the company already taken this step? The quickest way to have your recommendation rejected is to hear an objection to which you must reply, “I hadn’t thought of that.” Benefits of the Proposal How will your specific proposal address the problem you’ve...
