...1. Accounting information is information that is expressed in monetary terms, while non-accounting information is expressed in numbers but not in a monetary format. Accounting information can be categorized in the following 4 areas: Operating information-This type of information is needed in the day to day operation of Fuller’s business, information such as employee payroll, operating expenses, and inventory. Fuller will also need to know what customer owe the business through Accounts receivables. Financial Accounting- This type of information is geared more for managers and also for external parties such as shareholders (in Fuller’s case, her siblings), the bank and other creditors. The amount of liabilities she has in the form of Accounts payable and loan payable, bank reconciliations, the cost of the assets in the plant and equipment owed by the business, the amount of the mortgage payable and record of owners’ equity would fall under financial accounting. Management Accounting- This type of information is a summary of planning, budget, implementation and control. These types of reports would be generated for internal use for managers to use the data for their specific department and help run the business overall. Tax Accounting- This type of information focuses on tax issues where a business has elected to use different accounting rules for tax accounting and financial accounting. Fuller would be accountable to keep accurate records to tax filing purposes. Types of...

...Case 15-1: Private Fitness LLC* Private Fitness LLC is a springboard case that can be used as the basis of a discussion of management's need for information. It serves the same purpose for Part 2 of the book that the Kim Fuller case did for Part 1. Approach This case uses a small business as its setting so that students can visualize the business's activities, and so questions of generally accepted accounting principles will be essentially irrelevant. In fact, a shift the student needs to make as he/she begins Part 2 of the book is to think of accounting primarily in terms of its usefulness to a company's management, rather than in terms of reporting to shareholders and other outside parties. Because of the differing focus of Part 1 of the book, particularly the later chapters, some students will forget that they are dealing here with information for an apparently unsophisticated manager to help her run a small business, and not data for a NYSE company. This case is compelling both because students understand the business—fitness-training—and because there is a real problem to discuss. A trusted employee was both stealing cash and, by not recording all sales, diverting some revenues to herself. Discussion of this simple case helps students think about both the records needed to run the business and the challenges managers face in making sure the information put into the records is recorded accurately (i.e., the challenges faced in maintaining an effective internal...

...Competency: Analysis of the Concept Michelle Trigg University of South Alabama Abstract Understanding the nature and meaning of nursing competency is the initial step in having an unambiguous definition of its practice. All healthcare professionals, including nurses, may only prove to be proficient in their capabilities if they are able to perform comprehensive assessments related to the provision and maintenance of safe and efficient care, the protection of all members of the general public, and the undertaking of all necessary actions in order to preserve the nursing profession. Any and all standards that are established, based on such a perspective, must be adhered to in practice and for the purpose of nursing evaluation. This paper will evaluate and explore the concept of competency and the ways in which the nursing profession integrates the many aspects of competency. Keywords: competence, competency, concept analysis Competency: Analysis of the Concept The concept of competency in nursing is a professional regulation and is extremely important to patient safety and outcomes. In the past, competency in nursing focused on evaluating clinical skills, and not the actual ability(ies) or comprehension of the science behind them (Allen et al., 2008). Nurse competency is a requirement in the clinical setting, and outlines the dimensions...

...1. Why do people (end user) use Facebook and what do they do when they are there? Nadkarni & Hofmann (2012) investigated the factors contributing to Facebook (hereafter FB) use based on the researches on psychology, technical features of FB, demography and personality of FB users, and suggested a dual-factor model of FB use. In accordance with the model, FB users are motivated by two essential needs: (1) the need to belong and (2) the need for self-presentation. The need to belong can be referred as the innate drive to have a relationship with others and gain social acceptance, and the need for self-presentation as an impression management in which people attempt to influence the perception of their image. These two factors can work as a pair or singly for FB use. For example, the number of FB friends and a desirable presentation of self on FB positively associate with the degree of subjective well being and users’ self-esteem because of visualization of social networking (Kim & Lee, 2011). FB enables users to create own profiles including name, gender, date of birth, e-mail address, home town, personal interests, job information and photograph (Facebook, 2016). The interactions on FB are the friends list, the wall, pokes, status, events, photos, video, messages, chat, groups and like. The friends list is a significant part of FB, because it enables the endusers to create a public display of their accounts which viewers can click to expand the network. Like allows users to give...

It slowly became a leader in this field by offering DVD-by-mail and online video streaming services. It provides a subscription based model. According to this model the customers utilize the products and services of Netflix through a monthly fee rather than a pay as you use rate. Netflix has been expanding its reach of providing services to other geographies with its two service lines to places like the UK, Ireland, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. Among the Porter’s generic strategies, Netflix has adapted the Differentiation/Cost Leadership strategy as their target customer base is broad and they also provided to renters a low cost alternative to the otherwise traditional video rental stores.

...walk with a variable drift term. Two of the models are shown to outperform the simple random walk on the 12 and 24-months forecasting horizon. However, all the models are outperformed by the random walk with a variable drift, where the drift term is estimated using a Kalman filter. The results suggest that fundamental models might only be a useful tool for forecasting of the exchange rate in the very long run.

...GLOBAL STRATEGYAND MULTINATIONALS' ENTRY MODE CHOICE W. Chan Kim* INSEAD Peter Hwang** Baruch College Abstract. This paper makes a case directed towards establishing the importance of global strategic considerations in choosing multinationals'entry mode. Specifically,it is our contention that beyond the environmental and transaction-specificfactors well established in the literature to affect the entry mode decision, we should also consider the strategicrelationshipa multinational envisages between its operations across borders in reaching this decision. After incorporating various global strategic variables into an eclecticframeworkof the factorsinfluencing entrymode the choice, this paper tests both the validityof the overall framework and the importance of each entry mode determinant in differentiating among entry modes. This is done based on ninety-six multinational managers' responses to a survey questionnaire concerning their entry mode decision experiences. The results suggest that an express incorporationof global strategicvariables into an analysis of the entry mode decision is warranted. This paper is concerned with the critical decision of multinationals' foreign entry mode choice. While existing studies have already identified a diversity of variables that influence this decision, in our view these variables can or essentiallybe collapsedinto one of two categories:environmental ftansactionspecific factors. Common to existing studies identifying these factors is their...

Numerous organizations have changed from "nearby" suppliers to "ease" (and regularly far off) suppliers on the premise of expense, without considering the full cost of risks connected with these progressions. Accordingly, the expanded supply chain now has numerous extra purposes of potential disappointment, recommending that new methodologies to risk administration can be useful. Numerous organizations face expanded exposures and possibly immoderate fragility lead times for basic items if unforeseen occasions rise, as they apparently will. This paper gets aimed at identification of how fragility in logistics will lead to increased risk in supply chains (Kim,...

This paper begins by briefly summarizing the nature of organizational justice and by identifying how justice is perceived. Hofstede’s five factors of cultural dimension model, which he developed in his seminal 1980 research on national cultures, is utilized to present characteristics of cultural differences. Ten propositions are then offered which relate to organizational justice and differences in cultural perspectives. These propositions suggest specific management approaches that organizational leaders can adopt to be more effective in dealing with employees from respective cultures. This paper concludes by identifying the importance of understanding...

...The Relationship Between Exchange Rate and Inflation in Pakistanby Shagufta KashifAbstractThere has been a long-standing interest in studying the factors that are responsible for uneven vacillation in the stable growth of the world economies. Lots and lots of theoretical literature and empirical evidences have addresses this issue in the past. Hike in prices of goods and services and foreign exchange are two important aspects which are deemed responsible for such potholed fluctuations in the economic growthThe volatility of the nature of prices is a major source of concern in all countries since 1970s. The issue is of a more serious nature in the developing countries where inflation in foreign countries known as “imported inflation” is seen to be driving “local/domestic inflation”; making domestic policies to control inflation ineffective. Similarly, in Pakistan, the domestic price level rose from the mid-1970s. The exchange rate started depreciating continuously from the early 1980s. Continuous devaluation of currency and inflation in the 1980s seems to suggest a correlation between the two variables.The studies by Rana and Dowling (1983) suggest that foreign inflation is the most influencing factor in explaining the change in local price level in nine less-developed countries of Asia during the period 1973-79. This study suggests that these countries cannot exercise much control over domestic inflation, however, the policies of their major trading partners (through exchange...

...diKalim Hyder & Qazi Masood Ahmed 107 Why Private Investment In Pakistan Has Collapsed And How It Can Be Restored Kalim Hyder and Qazi Masood Ahmed* Abstract The purpose of this paper is to analyse the decline in private investment and formulate a comprehensive strategy to overcome this problem, which is the main cause of deceleration in the growth momentum of Pakistan’s economy. Due to lack of investor confidence, private investment has reached its lowest point in the recent economic history of the private sector led growth phase (1978 to 2002) in Pakistan. This paper argues that economic as well as non-economic factors are responsible for this declining investment. Economic policies are formulated in such a manner that the short-term objectives of lowering the fiscal and trade deficits were to some extent achieved but overall economic performance and investment were ignored. In order to control external trade deficits, a policy of devaluation increased the cost of production through an increase in prices of imported raw material especially of plant and machinery. Higher real interest rates due to excessive public borrowing that were due to the failure in reducing fiscal deficits has resulted in financial crowding out and has corroded the savings that might be used to finance private investment. The unexplained part of private investment that is not determined by economic factors can be attributed to non-economic factors, which include internal and external shocks. These...

...Michael Porter has described a category scheme consisting of three general types of strategies that are commonly used by businesses to achieve and maintain competitive advantage. These three generic strategies are defined along two dimensions: strategic scope and strategic strength. Strategic scope is a demand-side dimension (Michael E. Porter was originally an engineer, then an economist before he specialized in strategy) and looks at the size and composition of the market you intend to target. Strategic strength is a supply-side dimension and looks at the strength or core competency of the firm. In particular he identified two competencies that he felt were most important: product differentiation and product cost (efficiency). He originally ranked each of the three dimensions (level of differentiation, relative product cost, and scope of target market) as either low, medium, or high, and juxtaposed them in a three dimensional matrix. That is, the category scheme was displayed as a 3 by 3 by 3 cube. But most of the 27 combinations were not viable. In his 1980 classic Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analysing Industries and Competitors, Porter simplifies the scheme by reducing it down to the three best strategies. They are cost leadership, differentiation, and market segmentation (or focus). Market segmentation is narrow in scope while both cost leadership and differentiation are relatively broad in market scope. Empirical research on the profit impact of marketing strategy indicated...
