...Unit 1 – AO1 – Investigate the roles and responsibilities of two contrasting public services and describe their purpose AO2 – Investigate the internal structure and functional areas for two chosen public services The two public services I am going to speak about are the prison service and the army. The reason is because both have a very important part of the keeping Britain safe. The prisons vision is to provide the very best prison service as possible and to help secure the following points. * Hold prisoners securely and safely * Reduce the risk of any prisoners from re-offending * Providing safe and well-ordered establishments in which we treat prisoners humanely, decently and lawfully To make sure the prison service actually completes their objectives they work in * close partnership with our commissioners and others in the Criminal Justice System to achieve common objectives * Obtain best value from the resources available using research to ensure effective correctional practice * Promote diversity, equality of opportunity and combat unlawful discrimination, and * Ensure our staff have the right leadership, organisation, support and preparation to carry out their work effectively. This is what the prison set out to achieve and how they plan to do it but there is a lot more involved in running a successful prison because a prison is a business. The prison has it goals but the prison needs top security to complete the goals. No...

...DIVERSIFICATION AND GLOBAL POSITION 3 Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. is ranked as the as the world’s second largest PC chipmaker with a market share of just 17%, far behind Intel Corp. with 81% of the market (Buckman and Williams 2001, 1). However, in 2000 AMD’s sales jumped 63% to $4.6 billion, producing $983 million in net income and its first profitable year since 1995 (Streetwalker 2001, 1). AMD owns engineering, manufacturing, warehousing and administrative facilities where it produces not only PC chips but also microprocessors, memory circuits, logic circuits, flash memory devices, telecommunication products and embedded processors (Moody’s 2000, 2520). The company’s headquarters and research and development site are located in Sunnyvale, CA, while the wafer manufacturing plants are located in Austin, TX and Dresden, Germany. The test and assembly facilities are located in Bangkok, Thailand and Penang, Malaysia. The company has also established production at the Singapore’s test and assembly facility as well as an analysis and design plant in Suzhou, China. In addition, a new plant in Japan, a joint venture of AMD and Fujitsu, called AMD Fujitsu Semiconductor Ltd. or FASB, will begin operations in the first half of 2001 (Dum 2000, 2). AMD, like many technological multinational enterprises (MNE), prefers to locate its factories and assembly plants in technology clusters in stable and democratic countries.

...the ever-changing industry they are part of. Intel Corporation is one of these companies. Intel was “founded in 1968 to build semiconductor memory, while in 1971 produced the first microprocessor” (Intel Corporation, 2005). Being that Intel needs to keep up with the constant change of microprocessors, motherboards, and other computer and communication products, they need to have a management team that adapts to this fast-paced environment. For Intel Corporation, the three factors that influence management most in the company is the rapid change of the industry Intel is part of, the technology that is always being updated, as well as the innovation that needs imagined. Rapid Change In 1965, Gordon Moore, cofounder of Intel Corp. made the observation that processing power would double every 18 months. This is now called Moore’s law, and the implications of it are that Intel has to plan, organize, lead, and control rapid change at least every 18 months, or otherwise they will be left in the dust of their competitors. A look on Intel’s web page will show that Intel is not sitting idle. Intel has several plans for the future that not only includes new processors, but chips for wireless technology, higher security technology, and several others. A check of Intel’s on line job search indicated that there are no less than 20 openings in the Untied States for research and development engineering positions. This indicates that Intel is currently in the process organizing the resources...

...Intel Corporation is the biggest semiconductor manufacturer in the world and has changed the global marketplace radically since it was founded in 1968. The first handheld calculators and PC’s were developed through the innovation of Intel’s microprocessors. The company is currently valued at more than $54 billion and employs more than 100,000 people. Intel’s product line of Pentium processors have become a household name. Today, at least 80% Intel processors are used in PC’s globally. Suppliers:. The essential material used to create semiconductors is silicon which is an element of sand and is plentiful in nature. Suppliers cannot alter the prices of this primary commodity to significantly influence Intel Corp’s business because Intel can afford to have several suppliers. Additional suppliers provide the metallization needed between the silicon layer and the plastic for the packaging of the fully manufactured processors. These too are plentiful and Intel can afford to have several suppliers at considerable prices. Competition rivalry:. Intel Corp continues to enjoy large market shares with minimal competition. In 2011, the company controlled 79.3% of the PC processors market and 84.4% of the of the mobile PC microprocessors. These figures included a 2% drop from the first quarter of the year. The decline in market share could be attributed to increased competition from companies such as AMD, Samsung, Texas Instruments, and Toshiba. These companies sell their products at reduced...

...Compare Chapters 2 and 5 What the Best CEOs Know Written by Jeffery A. Krames The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast two very successful corporate leaders within the IT industry based on the book What the Best CEOs Know (Krames, 2003). Chapters two and five cover Michael Dell from Dell Computer Corp and Andy Grove from Intel Corp, respectively. We will look at five topics including their main contributions, resistance encountered, similarities, differences, and significant factors. Michael Dell knew as a young man it was critical to focus on customer needs. His concept of cutting out the “middleman” to improve information flow was genius and not common to the computer industry (Krames, p. 58). Dell’s strategy of listening, responding, and delivering on customer needs proved very successful. The CEO talked to customers as often as possible and used technology to his benefit (Krames, p. 61). The Internet was used extensively to reach customers globally for ordering, demand forecasting, and to gain product feedback. Dell’s efficient use of technology and the direct marketing model minimized overhead. The cost efficiencies gained were passed on to the consumer and helped quickly differentiate Dell from its competitors (Krames, p. 62). These concepts also helped Dell remain responsive and agile as they grew exponentially. The CEO was successful at inspiring his workforce and organizing around the customer (Krames, pp. 68-70)...

...Intel did it again. The Q4-numbers of the technology bellwether beat the expectations of the analysts as they did in many quarters before (blogs.barrons) (marketwatch). The chip goliath benefited from the growth in emerging markets. During the earnings call with the analysts (you can find the transcript here seekingalpha) Intel CEO Paul S. Otellini explained (seekingalpha): "Emerging markets now account for 2 out of every 3 incremental units of PC demand, a shift that's rewarding Intel and the PC companies that have a long-standing, deep presence in these markets". Otellini declared further:" Looking back at the last 12 months of reported data, emerging markets like India and Indonesia grew 22% and 37%, respectively. China, now the largest PC market in the world, represents 20% of all PC demand, and grew a remarkable 15%". The Intel CEO believes that the rapid growth will continue to drive his business in the coming years: "China has a household penetration rate of just 35%, versus almost 90% in the U.S. China is the world's largest market for mobile phones with more than 950 million subscribers. It's also at the forefront of the smartphone boom and will be the home of the world's first 32-nanometer smartphone". These quotes show that emerging markets fuel the growth of the global economy, especially of the technology sector. I believe that this growth will continue many years because of the adaption process in many regions of the globe. The people in China, India and plenty...

...9-797-137 REV. MAY 22, 2008 DAVID COLLIS GARY PISANO Intel Corporation: 1968-1997 By January 1997, Intel, a Silicon Valley start-up, had attained a stock market valuation of $113 billion that ranked it among the top five American companies. Much of Intel’s success had been due to microprocessors, a product it invented in 1971 and in which it continued to set the pace. Despite the company’s illustrious history and enviable success, its Chairman and CEO, Andy Grove, worried about the challenges ahead: Business success contains the seeds of its own destruction. The more successful you are, the more people want a chunk of your business and then another chunk and then another until there is nothing left. I believe that the prime responsibility of a manager is to guard constantly against other people’s attacks.1 This case begins by describing Intel’s origins as a semiconductor company before turning to its evolution into the leading manufacturer of microprocessors. Intel: The Early Years Intel was founded in 1968 by Robert Noyce (one of the co-inventors of the integrated circuit) and Gordon Moore, both of whom had been senior executives at Fairchild Semiconductors. They, in turn, recruited Andy Grove, who was then Assistant Director of Research at Fairchild. From the beginning, this trio was the driving force behind Intel. The company’s initial strategy was to develop semiconductor memory chips for mainframe computers and minicomputers. Andy Grove recalled that after receiving...

...DECEMBER 2, 2013 JUAN ALCÁCER KERRY HERMAN Intel: Strategic Decisions in Locating a New Assembly and Test Plant (A) Government incentives can come and go. Decisions need to be long term. — Brian Krzanich, Intel general manager Assembly Test (2005) Brian Krzanich, Intel general manager of Assembly Test (AT), looked through his deck of slides one more time. It was March 2005, and in a few days, he would present the AT team’s proposal for the siting of its next AT factory to Intel’s board. The new facility would be Intel’s largest AT plant to date, doubling the size of any existing AT plant and providing the company with more efficient capacity. In 2005, industry average costs to build a new AT factory ran about $80 million with annual operating costs of between $150 and $300 million. He thought back to the fall of 2001, when Intel’s global site selection team had first started gathering data on possible sites for a new AT plant. There were a host of considerations implicated in this proposal, with operational and strategic dynamics as well as national and international relationships at stake. In their preliminary study of possible sites, Krzanich and his team had focused primarily on Asian and South East Asian locations, given that between 2002 and 2005, the total cost of operations in these countries were still the lowest in the world, and these markets represented important and growing opportunities for Intel. While U.S. regulations had prohibited the construction...
