...CoffeeTime is a premium brand of coffee that is considering entering a completely foreign market. In order to succeed in this new market, the company has done extensive research consisting of demographics, infrastructure and competition. Brad Collins, CEO of CoffeeTime, has identified India to be the next opportunity for advancement. The company is well aware that India has approximately three times the population of the U.S. and is one of the most powerful economies in South Asia. New industrial and investment transformations have provided new opportunities for Indian businesspersons and an estimated 100-200 million consumers; hence, a larger customer base for CoffeeTime. There was extensive research done on demographics (population by age, gender, and education), the leisure and lifestyle (number of theaters and malls), infrastructure (number of colleges and schools) and competition (number of coffee chains and restaurants) in different areas of the country. Market researchers can use such information to determine which cities would be most profitable for the coffee chain. However, this information would be inconsistent if the correct sample size or survey questions were not chosen. Analysts have come up with many different types of survey questions to guide them through the process of the research. It is matter of choosing the ones that will provide the best results. Although the research done by CoffeeTime analysts consists of valuable information, there are still many factors...

According to the International Monetary Fund, Bangladesh ranked as the 42rd largest economy in the world in 2011 in PPP terms and 57th largest in nominal terms, among the Next Eleven or N-11 of Goldman Sachs and D-8 economies, with a gross domestic product of US$269.3 billion in PPP terms and US$104.9 billion in nominal terms. The economy has grown at the rate of 6-7% per annum over the past few years. More than half of the GDP is generated by the service sector; while nearly half of Bangladeshis are employed in the agriculture sector. Other goods produced are textiles, jute, fish, vegetables, fruit, leather and leath. An easy way to understand any country's economic scenario is through its Balance of Trade (BOT) and Balance of Payment (BOP) figures. Balance of Trade shows the difference between the total amount of incoming and outgoing currencies through import and export. Balance of Payment (BOP) is a summary of economic activities between the residents of a country and the rest of the world during a given period, usually one year. The...

...NWC Case Study Sangram Chavan (1110262) Sampath Kumar() Lata Manohar() University Canada West Professor: Ming Wang MBA-510 Operations Management 29th February 2012 1. Does it matter that Andy and his team cannot allocate all the time necessary to process a mortgage application to individual activities? Solution - For above question we have to know throughput rate and cycle time it takes to process each application and if they have enough staff to handle 76,250 application each year. Cycle time for process =Time available/ Number to be processed Time available =52*40*60 = 1, 24,800 minutes Application Processed =76,250. Therefore 124800/76250 = 1.64 seconds. If, Cycle Time = Work Content/ Number of People in the process Then, Number of people = work content / cycle time = 112(time allowed for activity) / 1.64(cycle time) = 69 people. So, nearly 69 people are required to process 76,250 applications, but according to the case currently total number of employee’s in data, underwriting, offer and completion stage are 160. So there is under utilisation of people in Andys current team. 2. Should process should be redesigned, and if so which option should be adopted? Solution- Andy and his team have three options that could be implemented to improve the current situation. Option one is doing noting option and continue with the process, as changes itself brings some challenges with it. As discussed in the case by implementing this option work can be done by 70 people...

...Running head: White Collar Crimes in Basketball White Collar Crimes in Basketball By Willis Blake Jamie Orejan Saint Leo University MBA 510 9-26-08 One of the largest NCAA money fraud schemes in NCAA basketball history occurred in Atlanta, GA on December 2005. A report filed with a federal court in Texas regarding the investment scam indicates that nearly $6 million in assets were connected to Horizon Establishment. In December, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed an emergency action in federal district court against Travis Correll & CO Inc. Most of the NCAA violators were coaches, players, and sports agents. These three SEC basketball colleagues were my friends. I worked side by side with Travis Correll in many of the Division II SEC Basketball games across the Southeast Region. The Southern Conference fired Travis Corell in the shakeup stemming from allegations of a multimillion-dollar investment fraud scheme. John Guthrie, the SEC Supervisor of Basketball Officials for more than two decades, was fired for unspecified reasons the day Correll resigned. The NCAA also released referee Jason McNeil that same afternoon. Correll’s firing in December stemmed from the Securities and Exchange Commission filling suit in Texas alleging he and others sold interests in purported foreign and international bank deposit programs promising risk-free returns of 4 percent to 12 percent. Travis Correll got this idea from Charles Ponzi who duped thousands of New...

MBA/GC/690/13/14 COURSE CODE: 510 COURSE NAME:MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS LECTURER :SR LUCY DATE:3/6/2014 Management is the organization and coordination of the activities of a business in order to achieve defined objectives. Management is often included as a factor of production along with machines, materials, and money. According to the management guru Peter Drucker (1909-2005), the basic task of management includes both marketing and innovation. Practice of modern management originates from the 16th century study of low-efficiency and failures of certain enterprises, conducted by the English statesman Sir Thomas More (1478-1535). Management consists of the interlocking functions of creating corporate policy and organizing, planning, controlling, and directing an organization's resources in order to achieve the objectives of that policy.The directors and managers who have the power and responsibility to make decisions and oversee an enterprise. The size of management can range from one person in a small organization to hundreds or thousands of managers in multinational companies.
