...June 27, 2012 Ms. Shirin Eugenio, Professor Members of the Operation’s Committee School of Communication University of Asia and the Pacific Pearl Drive, Ortigas Center Pasig City, Philippines 1600 Dear Sir/Madam: Good Day! I am Donica Jane T. Villar, a sophomore student taking Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) in University of Asia and the Pacific. I am currently enrolled in Understanding Media and its Content (COM20) and Business Communication (COM21) under Ms. Veronica Isla and Ms. Shirin Eugenio, respectively. Both subjects have a class of fifty students. This kind of situation may most likely affect a student’s learning. With a large number of students in a class, most of the students cannot concentrate because some might be making unnecessary noise and movements. The aforementioned scenarios will result to the destruction of a class. I am writing to propose unique, effective, yet fair ways to promote discipline and proper classroom behavior and the possible actions that can be taken to ensure unruly behavior is minimized in a large class. I came up with operative solutions and attainable actions to the aforementioned situations. THE PROBLEM In every educational institution, discipline is very important. Every class should have a proper atmosphere to attain knowledge and to enable the students focus on their schooling. Discipline is essential to an academic growth and class’s harmony and success. Without discipline, especially in a Communication...

...find another Harvard MBA that wanted to work in customer service. Donna took advantage of every opportunity with to advance at Apple through her direct and hard-nosed style. Donna’s individual performance was impressive. She was able to deliver results and her groups performed well on key metrics. Apple was the perfect place for Donna since being a young company light on formality that underwent frequent reorganizations. Apple’s fast growth, loose organization, and corporate culture allowed Donna to make decisions “above her pay grade” and thus demonstrate her ability to perform at higher levels of responsibility. Place yourself in Dubinsky’s position. Why did she respond the way she did to the JIT proposal? Donna could never understand why the JIT proposal was even being discussed. She didn’t see any problems in the distribution area, and thought this was a cost cutting measure by Jobs because the Mackintosh division was underperforming. Donna never understood why the reins had been taking from her hands in the first place and given to the taskforce. Donna viewed this as a direct attack on her job and remarked “I didn’t know why there should be a taskforce at all. Distribution’s our job”. In her mind everything was working so well. There was no problem to solve. What do you think she should have done differently and why? Be specific....

...Grant Proposals It doesn’t matter if the business is just an agency, organization, for profit or non-profit they need money to operate. Profit companies focus on getting their funding through revenues and interest-bearing loans. Non-profit companies depend on grants, loans, and public generosity. It is a must to understand that non-profit agencies are businesses too and they also need a way to pay for their expenses. Writing grants is the way an agency finds funding. Either an employee professional grant writer or having administrative personnel to write the proposals, they then submit them for review to potential donors. Writing grants proposals is far from an easy to deal with. There are deadlines, awareness of what programs a funder is looking to invest their time and money into. Details for the application are an important part to writing a grant. Some are short and don’t require much information, while others require detailed description of the program. This is the grant writer’s priority to make sure that it meets requirement and all the information that is needed is there. The primary point to a proposal is that is to get their program out there and to make it clear and honest picture of the organization project for those funding and in general. The writer must convince the review committee that their program is the best to choose.

...“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...

...acquisition plan has been approved, the CO will be developing the solicitation. Once all sections of the RFP have been written and approved, the CO will post the resultant RFP to FedBizOpps for any and all contractors of interest view the RFP in full details. If FedBizOpps is not available, the CO may email the RFP out to Offerors identified in its market research. Once the RFP has been posted, the CO should allow companies enough time to propose responsively to the RFP- which could be from 15 to 45 days depending upon the size and complexity of the requirement. During this time, the CO should answer any questions that all Offerors may have regarding the RFP. This should be done in writing but can also be done in an open forum such as a pre-proposal conference. Once all questions have been answered, the CO should post these questions and answers on FedBizOpps for all Offerors to see and if needed, amend the RFP. The process from the seller’s point of view begins once a notice is synopsized on FedBizOpps. After the requirement is actually posted on FedBizOpps, the seller should review the entire RFP and then choose if they want to propose or not. Depending upon what the seller believes his competitive chances are, a decision should be made to propose responsively to the requirement. At this time, the seller should review the RFP again and any amendments to fully understand the needs...

...Proposal Argument Workshop: (R) 11/21 & (T) 11/26 Due: (T) 12/3 A proposal argument is one that pinpoints a particular problem and poses a solution to it. All proposals will call for action, focus on the future, and center on audience. The ultimate objective is to get something done. To achieve this, the solution should be attainable and well-conceived; furthermore, proposals should provide enough evidence to convince readers that the solution will actually produce the effects it sets out to achieve. A proposal should always seek to put forth the best possible solution to a problem. For this paper, you should pick some contemporary issue that interests you (for example, gay marriage), consider your own position on this issue (gay marriage is a good thing), pinpoint a major problem associated with the issue (should gay marriage be legalized?), and finally pose a viable solution to this problem (Yes, because…etc). In this paper, you should try extremely hard to emphasize your ethos. Why should we trust you and, by extension, the solution you propose? In addition, you should certainly strive to provide logical, well-researched EVIDENCE that will support your claim (logos). You must first acquaint us with the issue/problem and then explain why your solution is the best possible response to this problem. The majority of your paper should focus on the SOLUTION you are proposing and your proof that this solution will work. Requirements: Ø 5 to 6 pages in...

...Grant Proposal Checkpoint Holly Regan HSM/270 June 5, 2014 Fedder Williams Grant Proposal Checkpoint A grant proposal is a written presentation of a program plan for a human services organization which explains the goals and objectives regarding a certain social problem or issue for a specific population in detail that the organization will be addressing. A grant proposal can be utilized as a tool for managing change, as a document which is persuasive in defining a problem or need and then proposes a solution to the problem for which they are requesting funding to implement the solution(s).

...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...
