...Services organization this paper will discuss internal and external factors to identify the right steps for the business to take to help be successful. SWOTT analysis will help guide upper management decide on what steps the business should take. Through a thorough SWOTT analysis we will look at the external and internal trends to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that the company could potentially face. SWOTT Analysis In order to conduct a successful SWOTT analysis we will need to assess the market, our company, and our competition. Additionally the organization will need to review any areas that could potentially generate a loss in sales or generated revenue. The first thing we will look at to identify potential future opportunities is our strengths and weaknesses. By identifying the current strengths the organization can identify what is currently working and if there could be any enhancements to make it better. By reviewing the weaknesses of the operation will help with identifying certain areas to alleviate as well as modify to hopefully at some point move into the strength column. Next the company will want to identify any opportunity that is where a need may exist and could potentially move into a profit. As a final piece the company will look at the threats which will look at any challenge posed by a negative trend or development that could potentially lead to a decrease in profits or sales. External Factors Economic The economic...

The company also provides haircut, hair color, manicure, pedicure, and cleanse and restore facial services for men. This specific day was to evaluate their hair coloring services for women. There a quite a few potential fail points in Gene Juarez’s Service Blue Print: 1. No Parking Spots 2. Front desk 3. Reservation System Down or Appointment not made correctly 4. Wait time and Reception area 5. Bill accuracy 6. Adequate consultation 7. Cut, Color, and Style The parking situation at Gene Juarez is a potential fail point. Because of the location of the Salon being in Redmond Town Center there is a risk for being no parking spots or long waits in the parking lots. The Redmond Town Center is home to approximately 100 stores and a Microsoft location nearby. Parking is tough to find and could potentially lead to late clients or clients getting fed up and leaving altogether. Another potential fail point is the customer service given at the front desk. The Guest Service Representatives at Gene Juarez are the first (and last) people you see in your visit to the Salon. The front desk team is the heart of the business and the soul of customer service. A bad experience at the front desk could taint the whole outcome of the rest of the visit. In order for a salon or spa to run smoothly...

...probable, reasonably possible and remote. In ASC 275-10-50-8, the definition of the term reasonably possible means that the chance of a future transaction or event occurring is more than remote but less than likely. In the case, it is believed that Danle could potentially, but not probably be liable for a percentage of recovery in the claim, so we believe Danle’s loss contingency should be reasonably possible. Although it believed that the amount of potential loss was less than 50 percent of the amount claimed which is approximately $250 million, it could be material effect to the financial statements. Based on ASC 275-10-50-8, when it is reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect on the financial statements exists and the effect of the change would be material, disclosure regarding such estimate should be made when known information available before the financial statements are issued. Danle said that it did not believe that it was probable a loss would occur and could not reasonably estimate an exact amount of the potential loss. However, it is also stated in the paragraph 450-20-50-5 that disclosure is preferable to accrual when a reasonable estimate of loss cannot be made. Even though it is not probable that a liability had been incurred, disclosure also should be made for some loss contingencies for which there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. In conclusion, we believe that it was not appropriate for Danle to omit disclosure relating...

...ISC2025-Emprendimientos Tecnológicos Tomás Charad Edgardo Gutiérrez NanoGene Technologies, Inc. •Evaluate the founder's decisions regarding the split of equity and compensation level. As potential venture investor in the company, would these decisions concern you? In my opinion the decision of splitting the equity and compensations equally for every founder was pretty logical at the moment when NanoGene was created, but as it seems through time this should have changed. As time went by roles within NanoGene were changing and also responsibilities, so compensations and salaries may have changed according to the duty the founder perform and some equivalence with market salary for the same job. As a potential venture investor the way the equity is divided within the founders is relevant, because it´s easier to negotiate and get to agreement when you treat with one or two, rather than a group of people (with common interests, but potentially different points of view). •Evaluate the size and composition of the founding team. What is the difference between being a founder and an early employee? Hint: try to understand well what it means to have "options". The founding team was too big, this is a problem when decision-making time comes, you have to agree with everybody else, so agreement tend to be simpler when less people( and opinions) are involved. In respect to the composition of the team, it is better that somebody owns at least a minimum amount more than the...

...THE ECOTOURISM IN CALAUG, QUEZON: IT'S POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT Abstract In Calauag, Quezon, ecotourism is a term yet to be coined by its local inhabitants. Calauag, Quezon is a first class municipality in the province of Quezon in Region IV-A. It belongs to the Luzon group of islands. Calauag is partly urban but still is considered as an agricultural municipality. Statistics would show that a small slice of its land is used for the urban core of the municipality which is as much as 1.59 hectares out of the 42, 318 hectares of land. The rest is devoted to agriculture. (Vesorde, 2011) Ecotourism, in its very essence is intended to provide cultural unity and economic improvement to its local inhabitants while fostering environmental education. Wildlife and natural surroundings are the assets of ecotourism such as those found in Calauag, Quezon, hence the researcher, being born and raised in this municipality, thought of conducting a study which assesses its real potentials for ecotourism development. Furthermore, the researcher intends to point out the strengths, weaknesses, and possible future effect of the study area for developing it into eco-tourist spot. With this in mind, this thesis entitled “The Ecotourism in Calaug, Quezon: It's Potential Development” was conceptualized. This study was conducted to assess the potential development of ecotourism in Calauag, Quezon. Specifically, it aims to focus on the following sub problems, viz. a viz.: (1) What are the demographic...

...George Barker is the CEO of the family-owned company Barker Design and Development. He is currently facing several problems especially with regard to the poor job-performance of his brother Peter, the vice president of design of the company. Due to Peter’s poor performance in form of slowing down the decision process, and his interference in important projects even with scant knowledge, the company is endangered by a chain of potential damages. The key to retard the occurence of the damages is to analyse the different aspects why the company is in this adversely position. First, the lack of clarity due to a structural uncertainty of the company with regard to the future is imposing potential fear to the employees. Second, the lack of motivation through the external pressure by Peter’s parents and the abscence of promition challenges might contribute to Peter’s poor-performance. Other factors are Peter’s lack of experience in other jobs and his potential mismatch with the job requirements through the lack of an ordinary application process. Another potential reason for his performance is his dissatisfaction with his job due to the lack of recognition he gets. Furthermore, the lack of communicating objective evaluation and feedback might contribute even more to his poor performance since Peter potentially has not recognised his mistakes. The consequences of Peter’s actions are worsening the company’s reputation among architects, colleagues, current clients, and new clients. George...

...impact their company in a negative way. The firm needs to sit back and work out different strategies that will allow them to go global when the time is right. The company has some time but not a lot; they must focus and work together strategically. Even with VisiDat’s unexpected development and contract with Shell, Data clear may still have the upper hand. DataClear already built a data analysis market in the U.S., one that they still have to themselves. Not only do they control this, but they also have proof of success and overall quality. There is no guarantee that this new competition is actually competition. DataClear has proven throughout their first two years how great their product truly is. The company is looking at a potential 300 percent average growth through 2002. DataClear has an annual $600 million domestic market for its current product and $1.2 billion when you begin to include telecommunications and financial services. When laying everything out on the table, it is clear that going global could make the company millions. This is easy to say, but how they bring it all together could determine if this will actually succeed. Greg made it very clear in the case that his company had little to no expertise in international expansion. Before the company even makes any moves towards becoming global, they must recruit someone with great expertise in this market area. By doing so, they will receive reassuring advice on how to move forward. The next move...

...because it gives feedback of a result, over time. You’ll need to be wise enough to pick out the real measures from the fakes. Before you even go looking for KPIs, clearly define your priority business results. To avoid swamping yourself with way too many trivial and irrelevant measures, you need to fish these KPI master lists with a net designed to catch just the types of measures you need. And that net is made from the business results that are your highest priority to achieve. After all, that’s what KPIs are for: to give you feedback about the results that matter. List potential measures first, then evaluate to select the best. It will be faster and easier if you list a dozen or so potential measures for each important business result that is worth measuring. So trawl through the KPI master lists quickly, just to pull out this first list of potential measures. After that, evaluate the potentials, and decide which measure (or two) will give the best evidence of your business results. Be prepared to tailor the measures to your business. The vast majority of KPI master lists will offer you nothing more than a measure name, and if you’re lucky, a short sentence describing what it means. That’s just not enough for you to successfully implement the measure in your business. So be prepared to flesh out each measure in more detail, right down to the data you’ll use to compute it. Don’t fit a square peg to a round hole. It’s entirely likely that your business or organisation...

...Partners: Joseph Dea Adrian Capinpin Plotting Electric Potential Lab Purpose: To understand and experiment with electric potentials and examine electric fields, from their directions to their strengths and their behavior. Also, to map electric equipotential lines and electric field lines for two-dimensional configurations. Procedure: Starting the first of two parts of our lab (part A), we began by setting up our equipment. We first set up our conducting paper and pushed two aluminum push pins into each of the two conducting metallic holes on the paper. We then followed by connecting the negative terminal of the power supply to the push pin on the left and the positive terminal to the opposite push pin on the right (see figure below). After everything was set up we turned the dial of the voltmeter to 20 Volts (V), and proceeded by pushing the tip of our probe in the middle of the conducting paper and adjusted the DC power supply until the voltmeter read 5.00 V. Once we got an accurate reading, we gently used the probe to find points on the conducting paper that also read 5.00 V, generally about 2 cm above the starting position. We proceeded with this technique until we reached the apex of the y coordinate, which was capped at 20.0 cm. Following completion of the superior part of the x-axis, we took our probe and repeated the same procedure for the inferior portion of the x-axis, which extended down to 0 cm. We continued this process for the y-axis as well...

...hsbc2.Where is HSBC venerable? What should it watch out for? Answer: HSBC venerable are : HSBC associates itself strongly with investment in the small business sector, but the current economic situation has led to increased risks, potentially compromising the activity levels in this area of the operation. The bank was involved with sub-prime markets in the US and has had to write off large figures lent to high-risk borrowers. Despite falls in the UK interest rate, HSBC has increased its mortgage rates. This may be perceived negatively by borrowers and potential borrowers, adds pressure to an already depressed housing market and could ultimately lead to more defaulting as borrowers struggle with higher repayments. A redundancy program announced recently may affect morale among staff, leading to decreased production and loyalty. HSBC’s branding emphasizes its global presence, and this may be seen negatively by some customers in its implication of homogenization and lack of personalization. Along with the strengths, HSBC has got some weaknesses too. The major weakness that is evident to even a lay man 's eye is that they have a very little foot print and hence despite having operations in several countries , it has less exposure to the much larger and potentially profitable market which is there and already being exploited by other Banking Financial organizations , especially in Asian region Decide which weaknesses...
