... the costs of time used in shopping for and consuming a product are also part of its opportunity cost. Examples are when we need to take time to compare potential suppliers to find the best price for a product, when we need to spend time queuing to buy a product, or when it takes time to consume or use a product. Question: Sally Stockbroker has to decide whether to return to university to study for a Masters of Business Association (MBA). The MBA will take three years to complete. Sally knows that the information relevant to calculating opportunity cost is that: (a) MBA fees will cost $20000 per year; (b) her salary as a stockbroker in every future year of her working life would be $80000 per year if Sally does not do an MBA; (c) during her time studying, Sally can work as a tutor at the university and earn $10000 per year; and (d) other costs of studying such as textbooks that Sally would not otherwise incur amount to $5000 per year. At present, Sally has not incurred any of these costs. What is the opportunity cost for Sally of doing an MBA? Case study 1.7 Are we always rational?

This article is discussed about a leader’s ability to influence and motivate an individual employee in the workplace. The article is based on the theory of (Vroom, 1964), (Maslow, 1954), (Skinner, 1971) and widely used goal theory (Karoly, 1993) which explain that motivation is come from a given work environment and how their leader motivate them. It is require skilled manager who can communicate effectively, attend to employee queries, be creative and innovative, plan and delegate task and always follow up with problems solving. This article would be a helpful resource for my research paper because it demonstrates the real and recent research from (Hebda, Vojak, Griffin, & Price, 2007- Motivating technical visionaries in large American Companies) which indicated that the most important motivator was time provided by the management to solve the complex issues. It shows that the leaders need to plan and make fast decision making and create a work environment that bring forth employee motivation. It is reliable as the authors use a lot of reference sources to support the conclusions. This journal article is written by three very experience authors. Ann Gilley is an associate professor of management at Ferris State University where she teaches strategy and management. Her areas of research include change, the organizational...

...School of Management at the University of New South Wales, one of Australia's most prestigious business schools and, before that, he headed the Australian practice of McKinsey & Company, one of the world's most highly respected management consulting firms. His corporate roles have also included directorships with Westfield Holdings, Foster's Brewing Group, Port Jackson Partners and Pacific Power.

He holds a degree in law from the University of Sydney, an LL.M from the University of Pennsylvania, and an MBA from the Wharton School of Finance where he was appointed a Joseph Wharton Fellow. Yet his appointment in late 1998 to the position of Chief Executive Officer, Fairfax Holdings Limited generated reactions from the media and business community ranging from bernusement to incredulity. The three senior management positions for which Hilmer is best known could each be regarded as the pinnacle of a successful career. Each has also brought its own very different challenges and environments. The first of these roles was with McKinsey & Company with whom Hilmer was a partner for 20 years, the last nine of which he managed the Australian...

...Qualitative characteristics in accounting disclosures: a desirability trade-off Malcolm Smith Associate Professor of Accounting, School of Economics and Commerce, Murdoch University, Perth, Australia A number of studies in the USA, UK, Australia and Canada have addressed the evaluation of the usefulness of accounting information and sought to identify criteria for assessing the quality and utility of financial reports (e.g. Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (1975), Financial Accounting Standards Board (1980), Institute of Chartered Accountants in Scotland (1988), Accounting Standards Board (1991)). The qualitative characteristics viewed as desirable for the fulfilment of the fundamental objective of communicating decision-useful measurement recognize that all of these characteristics are not simultaneously achievable and that some trade-off is necessary. Examines the nature of this conflict of objectives and attempts to quantify the extent of the conflict for different user groups. Introduction Since the late 1960s research efforts regarding a conceptual framework have been commissioned in response to mounting public and professional pressure with regard to the nature of corporate reporting and deficiencies in the accounting standard setting process. Peasnell[1, p. 254] with respect to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) conceptual framework observes: “it perceives a need to show that its heart and mind are in the right place: to demonstrate...

...Management of organizations Question 1 Briefly state the purpose of the journal article. Organizational management is a common management style for modern small businesses. The organizational method allows managers to break down the entire operation of a department into several phases. Dividing operational functions into sections allows management to obtain a clear picture of what the goals of a department are and how to implement the goals most effectively. It also allows managers to respond rapidly to factors that affect the internal or external expectations of company. The individuals are well aware of their roles and responsibilities and know what they are supposed to do in the organization. Planning:Prepare an effective business plan. It is essential to decide on the future course of action to avoid confusions later on. Plan out how you intend to do things. Organizing refers to the judicious use of resources to achieve the best out of the employees. Prepare a monthly budget for smooth cash flow. Staffing:Poor organization management leads to unhappy employees who eventually create problems for themselves as well as the organization. Recruit the right talent for the organization. Leading:The managers or superiors must set clear targets for the team members. A leader must make sure his team members work in unison towards a common objective. He is the one who decides what would be right in a particular situation. Control:The superiors must be aware of what is happening...

...Executive summary The HRM issue I choose to write about is job analysis and design and the organisation reflected in this paper is Qantas engineering (QE) which resides under the Qantas Airways Ltd Group. Qantas has recently undergone a huge transformation with the reduction of 5000 jobs. Competition paves the way to downsizing and reorganisation changes which meant that QE was going to reduce its workforce from 500 to 180 engineers. The main cause for this reduction in engineering was benchmarking the QE organisation with engineering organisations of other major competitor airlines such as Emirates airlines, Singapore airlines and British airways, retirement of ageing aircraft, reliability and on-wing performance of newer engines / airframes due to improvement in materials and computers/ programs that simplified administrative tasks. The most significant reason was that Qantas was losing its domestic market share to Virgin Australia and this meant that Qantas had to lower its cost base in order to compete. This reduction in workforce meant that existing engineers had to be flexible & adaptable to learn and pickup engineering functions that redundant staff had been doing all these years. There was clearly a failure to analyse jobs before the transformation and redesign work in line with the new company strategic plan.
