It also provides detailed project goals, performance measures, assumptions, constraints, and alternative options. 2.1 Issue Beacon Vale Community Frail Care Centre is a semi-private NGO, which means they are not fully funded by the government and they need further assistance from the public e.g. via donation and fundraising from businesses and the community. Lack of awareness from the public is the biggest constraint that hinders the organization from receiving funding from the public.

...The Big Idea: 21st-Century Talent Spotting by Claudio Fernández-Aráoz Claudio Fernández-Aráoz is a senior adviser at global executive search firm A few years ago, I was asked to help find a new CEO for a family-owned electronics retailer that wanted to professionalize its management and expand its operations. I worked closely with the outgoing chief executive and the board to pinpoint the relevant competencies for the job and then seek out and assess candidates. The man we hired had all the right credentials: He’d attended top professional schools and worked for some of the best organizations in the industry, and he was a successful country manager in one of the world’s most admired companies. Even more important, he’d scored above the target level for each of the competencies we’d identified. But none of that mattered. Despite his impressive background and great fit, he could not adjust to the massive technological, competitive, and regulatory changes occurring in the market at the time. Following three years of lackluster performance, he was asked to leave. Compare that story with one from the start of my executive search career. My task was to fill a project manager role at a small brewery owned by Quinsa, which then dominated the beer market in the southern cone of Latin America. In those days, I hadn’t yet heard the term “competency.” I was working in a new office without research support (in the pre-internet era), and Quinsa was the only serious beverage industry player...

...Affirmative Action 240 December 11, 2011 HRM Affirmative Action In a world where equality is only stated as practical points to embrace the sentiments of society, one can look beyond the vale and see such practicality will never exist. When we look at the statement which echoed from the mouth of Thomas Jefferson in the declaration of independence “all men are created equal” we see that such never cross the color and gender line. Due to the increase pressures for equal opportunity for all regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin or age, employers were force to enact policies which covers areas of discrimination. These actions open the door for corrections of past discriminative acts by employers within the work force under the term affirmative action. According to Bohlander & Snell, 2007, affirmative action is a policy that goes beyond equal employment opportunity by requiring organizations to comply with the law and correct past discriminatory practices by increasing the numbers of minorities and women in specific positions. They further state that, in order to achieve this goal, organizations need to follow specific guidelines and goals to ensure that they have a balanced and representative workforce Bohlander & Snell, 2007. To the directors of Big and Small Incorporated, as I examine your company and its labor force, it is clear that much needs to be done to create a balanced workforce.

...contractors for particular needs. The company is highly selective about who they contract with, because while those workers may not be under the same roof as One Smooth Stone, in the clients' eyes they still represent the company. Mark Ledogar attributes the success of One Smooth Stone to the great relationships the company has with its clients and the great structure within the organization itself. OSS organizational structure is flat and very decentralized which allows decisions to be made quickly. They have no departments so they can work around the clock. The level of departmentalization is minimal and frequently changes due to the number and type of clients the company has at one given time. They also provide their clients with a wide variety of specialized skills by outsourcing its special needs. This writer believes that they are using network organization and matrix organization. Ledogar said that the company does not pretend to have a prepackaged solution for each client, but instead relies on the clients' needs or specifications to tailor the presentation design to that client's goals.

Core Values With the numerous amounts of social influences today, it may be hard for adolescents to decide which vales they believe to be most important. However, adolescents and adults are constantly faced with the question, what do you want to be or do in life? According to De Janasz, Dowd, & Schneider (2001), “Identifying your values will help you answer the question “What do I want to achieve with my life?” Once you determine your values and why they are important to you, you can then work on a plan for achieving your goals (p. 51).” Growing up in the tough neighborhoods of Chicago, it is easy to learn the values of right and wrong. It’s learned from award ceremonies in school, and in the streets as police officers take away a friend or classmate. Therefore, growing up in the city, my goal was to stay out of trouble and make my parents proud. This led to me placing a high value on my personal values of: Respect, Achievement, and Service.

...Bag It Incorporated: Zip N Seal Bag Sharena Limehouse Dr. Brian J. McCue Marketing Management 500 November 14, 2011 Determine and discuss a pricing strategy (Penetration or Skimming). When deciding between skimming and penetration for a pricing strategy, Bag It, Incorporated considers the relationships that have already been formed with its current clientele. Skimming would allow Bag It, Incorporated to price our Zip N Seal bag at a higher price than the competition. This may allow us to gain a higher profit, but in return gain low sales volume. Bag It Incorporated will choose to use a penetration pricing strategy. This type of strategy is a price strategy that will allow Bag It Incorporated to price the Zip N Seal bag a competitively low price so that our current clientele and new customers will be eager to try this new product. We have seen our prices from our competitors such as Uline.com and Papermart.com. Although they do not offer product quite like the Zip N Seal, we will use the other similar products as a guide to help set our prices. Determine and discuss pricing tactics (Product line pricing, Value pricing, Differential pricing, or Competing against private brands) to be used for your product. Bag It Incorporated will be using a few different types of pricing tactics. Product line pricing is one of them. In an article written by Bovay (2011), she states, “Let me state the obvious: you can only use a product line pricing strategy if you have a whole...
