...the new president make the right decisions? The President’s first step should be to conduct a self assessment analysis on the company to determine if there are deficiencies are and if so what is causing them. This would include, yet is not limited to meetings with management, reviewing documentation, assessing staff files, and observations of processes. He needs to research to find out whether it is caused by internal production problems, poor organization, ineffective cost controls, or possibly a weak sales management. He should look for signs of process inefficiency by asking if there are long wait times or large work backlogs. He should also, look for underutilized functions and areas that go for long periods without work Another thing the new President should do is interview key process contributors (management, floor employees, and current customers) to get their feedback on what is and is not working and what their needs are. Inquire about what they do and why. Discover what information and tools are needed to perform each job. Identify who the recipients are of which goods and why they need what they receive. He should focus on consulting with and making improvements for current customers...

...greatest implement ever devised, he call it). The M35 2½ was what was needed to move those vast supplies when and where necessary. On the other hand, the M4 Sherman (in most of its variants, except for the British Firefly and quite possibly the Easy-Eights) was vastly inferior in combat capabilities when compared to most other medium tanks, and definitely all heavies. The M10 3-inch GMC, and the far better 76mm armed M18 Hellcat were fine vehicles but suffered heavily from the US Army Tank/Tank Destroyer doctrine, where only Tank Destroyers could engage tanks while tanks should avoid tank to tank combat, usually leading to disastrous consequences since the Germans failed to follow said doctrine. All this nonsense was finally scrapped and the M26 came to be. So, let's head to the T34. Revolutionary is an understatement when applied to this magnificent piece of Soviet engineering (hold your shots, Christie fans!). Just to mention some of its characteristics we could say that it was fast, well armed, well protected, reliable, simple, sturdy, easy to build, easier to maintain, sporting an amazing ground pressure ratio, easy to man by crudely trained Siberian draftees, economical, and to top it all handsome as hell. The first tank to have an all-aluminium diesel engine, which made it far less prone to burning at the first strike that the M4 Medium, Ronson, and provide a fantastic power to weight ratio (some 16 HP per tone in the early models).

Or, maybe, you have come across the optimized example floating-point FFT for this processor and would like to understand how it works and what the author had in mind when writing it. This application note tries to answer both questions by going through that FFT example and all its levels of optimization in detail. This example can be followed in developing other algorithms and code optimized for the ADSPTS201S processor. Generally, most algorithms have several levels of optimization, all of which are discussed in detail in this note. The first and most straightforward level of optimization is paralleling of instructions, as the processor architecture will allow. This is simple and boring. The second level of optimization is loop unrolling and software pipelining to achieve maximum parallelism and to avoid pipeline stalls. Although more complex than the simple parallelism of level one, this can be done in prescribed steps without good understanding...

...Fiedler's Contingency Theory of Leadership is regarded by many as the first situational theory of leadership. He broke with the behavioral theorists of leadership and hypothesized that their is no one right way for a leaders to behave in all situations. He went on to state that situations could be classified as most, moderately and least favorable to leadership based on three dimensions -- leader-member relations, task structure and position power. Fiedler's Theory of Leadership is more complex than the behavioral theories of leadership. He said in took a pretzel shaped hypothesis to explain a pretzel shaped world. One of the contributions of his theory of leadership was the idea that not one form of leadership is appropriate for all situations. He continued to view most people as having a predisposition to be either task or relationship-oriented as a primary style of leadership. In addition, he recognized that people had a secondary style of leadership which they could use in low stress situations. For task-oriented leaders, their secondary style was relationship-oriented. For relationship-oriented, the secondary style is to look for new challenges. To understand the situation, Fiedler said that the following three factors had to be considered: Leader-member relations - Degree to which a leader is accepted and supported by the group members. Task structure - Extent to which the task is structured and defined, with clear goals and procedures. Position power - The ability...

...Unit 1 Week 1: An antitrust law that was the first United States Federal statute to limit cartels and monopolies that was signed July 2, 1980 is called Sherman Antitrust Act. This act allows the US federal government to take the legal action against firms in the formation of trusts as a means of dissolution (Sherman, 2013). Therefore, Goliath and Junior are not correct. The relationships that exists which restrain trade and commerce are strictly forbidden and deemed illegal (Sherman, 2013). Since Goliath is the owner, he is liable for Juniors’ infractions. Junior, Ltd is a business under Goliath which is an American founded company that company is subject to the law. They have many other options they can pursue. They could attempt to prove that the trade restraint has only positive outcomes or use the immunity clause that proves that they did not harm the exporting activities of other export competitors within the nation called the “exporting association” (Antitrust: An Overview, 2013). Goliath opened Junior to gain more control over certain aspects of the company and therefore make more profit for the company. The economy of the foreign country and US country could benefit from this type of business, however, the company stands the most to gain. The political views of the US are that the company is trying to make more money outside the US while the political views of the foreign country are pleased with the increase in their country. The actions of Junior will reflect on...

INTRODUCTION A supply chain refers to the production and distribution process from raw materials to finished goods. Members of the supply chain are dependent on each other to reduce overall cost and maximize their profit. This dependency, resulting in risk and uncertainty along with benefit, has recently been increasing due to the rapid innovation of information technology, globalization, and outsourcing. A need for coordination mechanism arises from interdependencies between the activities of supply chain members and this need differs depending on sources of complexity and uncertainty. Supply chain coordination is ``a term encompassing cooperation (joining operation), collaboration (working jointly), and integration (combining into an integral whole). It also involves information system alignment (jointly expanding the information structure beyond the boundaries of each supply-chain member). ...

M. Belbin said: “A team is not a bunch of people with job titles, but a congregation of individuals, each of whom has a role which is understood by other members. Members of a team seek out certain roles and they perform most effectively in the ones that are most natural to them” (BELBIN Associates, 2012). Belbin team roles were created in order to make group work more effective and understand positives and negatives of each team member. According to the Belbin theory there is 9 roles which members can be named by, which are: plant, monitor evaluator, co-ordinator, resource investigator, completer finisher, implementer, shaper, team worker and specialist. This table is going to show the roles of each member in our group and will point some advantages and disadvantages which could affect group work and productivity in the future and influence our hotel.

Don’t worry though, in this essay I’m going to provide you with enough information to help you prepare for your 9 weeks of controlled mayhem, and help you get a glimpse of what to expect, allowing you to make an educated decision, hopefully before you have signed the dotted line. I’m going to start by explaining how to prepare for BCT (basic combat training). After enlisting and taking your oath of allegiance you will be given your ship date. This is the date you will be required to report to your area’s MEPS (Military Entry Processing Station). Immediately upon enlistment you’ll begin regular physical training. The best types of exercise to prepare your body for the rigorous physical regiment you’ll be experiencing at BCT, is push-ups, sit-ups, and lots of running. For push-ups, start by timing yourself for one minute...

...In the late 1970s, Jobs, with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Mike Markkula, and others, designed, developed, and marketed one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers, the Apple II series. Steve Jobs is the CEO of Apple, which he co-founded in 1976. In the early 1980s, Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of the mouse-driven graphical user interface which led to the creation of the Macintosh. After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1985, Jobs resigned from Apple and founded NeXT, a computer platform development company specializing in the higher education and business markets. Apple's subsequent 1996 buyout of NeXT brought Jobs back to the company he co-founded, and he has served as its CEO since 1997. Steve also co-founded and was the CEO of Pixar Animation Studios, which created some of the most successful and beloved animated films of all time including Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars and Ratatouille. Pixar merged with The Walt Disney Company in 2006 and Steve now serves on Disney's board of directors. Jobs also previously served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of The Walt Disney Company in 2006, following the acquisition of Pixar by Disney. With Steve Job , Apple commands a dedicated consumer base and is know for its premium brands like iPad, iPhone, iPod, iTunes etc . Apples success is known under Steve...
