...steps from the text. The Problem and Why My current position consists of managing people and ensuring a multi-million dollar asset performs at its best. By doing so, we as a team must keep up with the constant change in occupancy, income, and renewals. These three things keep the asset flowing, which can be an issue at times; especially when having a demanding boss who seems to care less when your asset is in need. This trickles down to my staff and then on to the residents. As the text mentions, “a manager realizes some discrepancy between the current state (the way things are) and a desired state (the way things ought to be)”(Bateman & Snell, 2009, p. 89). As manager of this asset, I am aware of the current state; which in this case is performance. As of now our occupancy, income, and renewals are high in a numbers sense which is fantastic. However, within a few months numbers normally decrease as shown in our historical information. This is mainly due to extra monies or income residents have in the beginning of the year that changes/decreases by mid-year. Therefore, the constant...

Assuming the information you gave me is correct (more on this later), R and C are irrelevant to the problem. Given the information you provided, it seems safe to assume that C < $15, 000.∗ Even assuming the worst, R ≥ $12, 000 and C = $0, the option of waiting has a greater expected value than the decision to harvest now: $35,640 versus $34,200.† If the worst is not true (i.e., R < $12, 000 or C > $0), the the option of waiting is even more valuable. Consequently, unless you strongly dislike risk, you should wait to harvest. Your expected gain from waiting is at least 4% (worst-case scenario). If the very best-case scenario in which the node (labeled as ①) is worth $28,200 (see Technical Appendix for underlying calculations), your expected gain would be at least 18%.

...Business Impact Analysis Objectives The purpose of the business impact analysis (BIA) is to identify which business units/departments and processes are essential to the survival of _____________. The BIA will identify how quickly essential business units and/or processes have to return to full operation following a disaster situation. The BIA will also identify the resources required to resume business operations. Business impacts are identified based on worst-case Scenario that assumes that the physical infrastructure supporting each respective business unit has been destroyed and all records, equipment, etc. are not accessible for 30 days. Please note that the BIA will not address recovery solutions. The objectives of the BIA are as follows: • Estimate the financial impacts for each business unit, assuming a worst case scenario. • Estimate the intangible (operational) impacts for each business unit, assuming a worst-case scenario. • Identify the organization’s business unit processes and the estimated recovery time frame for each business unit. Policy Each Facility Business Continuity Planner shall perform a BIA on all business processes to determine the criticality of these processes to ______________ and to determine what the impacts are to the organization if those processes were interrupted. It shall identify the business process availability Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs), business process Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs), key business...

...ALTERNATIVES We had come out two alternatives in order to help Sindy solve the dilemma she faced. The first alternative is expanding her business into middle and senior level segment after 2 years. By expanding the business, Sindy will able to get more profit. This is because the revenue that she will get from senior staff positions is higher compare to junior staff positions. The second alternative that we suggest is doing nothing. Doing nothing means that Sindy have to continue on what she do now and just focusing on the blue collar and junior staff positions. Alternative 1: Expand the business into middle and senior level segment after 2 years. Since on the first year of operation, Sindy are able to get an amazing profit as well as recovered all her investment in the business, there will be no problem for her to expand her business widely after two years. The reason we want Sindy to expand her business after 2 years, not after 1 year is because we want Sindy to gain more business knowledge and on the same time, save some money so that she will able to hire more sales people, HR professional and pay for leasehold improvement. In two years before expanding her business, it is important for Sindy to learn more on the recruiting agency business since she have to face a very competitive environment once she enters the middle and senior level segment. She will have to compete with various competitors which some of them may be a big company and have more experience in doing...

...public image. A continuity plan has many benefits. These benefits can show the leadership within the company the strengths and weaknesses. This can allow adulterations in a company that can either drastically improve situations or could potentially make things worse. In all reality, it’s always beneficial to understand where the weak links in the chain are currently. In the creation and finalization of the continuity plan, there can be assessments made that can highlight employees that are lacking, resources that are being utilized too much and or too little, and strategies that might be misdirecting. The point of the matter is that a continuity plan can highlight main defects within a company and prepare a company for the worst case scenario. Everything can go right, the most important and memorable thing is how a company acts when everything goes...

...this, I don’t have to deal with the same stressor multiple times. I can deal with it once and move on to something else. Another method that I had not utilized in the past, but started utilizing in the first journal, was the deep breathing technique. Trying to slow my breathing and heart rate down and calming myself down made it easier to deal with the stressor immediately. By calming myself and getting my heart rate in check, I’m able to clearly speak about what I need and what the problem is. This especially comes in handy when dealing with the general public. Calming myself down is a great way to more effectively deal with the stressor and conquer the issue in a more timely manner. I’ve also been able to not think about worst case scenarios all of the time when dealing with...

...Analyse and evaluate the usefulness of a Break-Even analysis for a business. 14 marks A break even analysis is an analysis made by the entrepreneur of a business based on the cost of production and the predicted sales that will be made. The point at which the amount of sales meets the production costs is known as the breakeven point. Businesses aim to have a low breakeven point, so it isn’t too difficult to make a profit, the goal of any private-sector business. However, there are several constraints to using a break-even analysis. The first and main constraint is that it is just a prediction based upon what could happen in the future with the business. There are no actual sales figures for the time period that the analysis is covering, and, for this reason, makes it being a prediction a major constraint. Alongside this, the assumption that all products are sold is very unrealistic in business, for example trends may change which would reduce demand, or a competitor may be able to produce the same products for a cheaper price, which would mean that not all of the products would be sold. A third and final constraint of the analysis is that it oversimplifies business. It makes business appear to be an easy world to crack, for example making assumptions about costs may be optimistic because the entrepreneur knows the level of profit that they want from the business, which would reduce the reliability of the analysis, and, in turn make it less useful, because the assumptions would...

...BUS 410 Moritz Straube, Mario Pacheco, Alex Rutherford, Haitham Al Najjar Prof. Bresciani P & G Case Study Mount Everest Humans often feel the need to conquer Earth and explore it to the fullest. Among the biggest challenges the planet has for humans, stands the quest to climb Mount Everest. At almost 9,000 meters above sea level, in between Nepal and Tibet, the quest to climb Mount Everest has become the point of no return for some climbers and the ultimate conquest for other climbers. Since May 29, 1953 up to December 1996, 846 persons had conquered successfully Mount Everest Climbing Mount Everest became available to the public through entrepreneurs who were visionary enough to apply their passion to their profits in the year of 1996. Such is the case of Hall, founder of Adventure Consultants and Fischer, founder of Mountain Madness; each one of them had a passion for climbing and a vision for profit from leading teams to the top of Mount Everest, the summit. Together they both lead the largest commercial expeditions. Their experiences of their journey, which began in May 6, 1996, can be used to discuss different aspects of international organizational behavior. Leadership, communication, organizational structure, and visualization are key aspects of organizational behavior for businesses worldwide which are also related to the quest of conquering Mount Everestf. Hall and Fischer began as leaders of their organizations. Their climbing experiences are...

Therefore, the piece has to be maintained in perpetuity since it is officially considered part of American and North Carolinian culture. It’s very instance, there are computers to maintain and upgrade, software to be written, and components to replace and possibly design. There are many ways to improve the whole system like, the sonic gates could more sync with the steps. They could use weight sensors on the steps which would allow the Arduino to sync with music system. This would allow the weight of person to activate the music system instead of person crossing the sonic gates. Water Wall functions on the solenoid contracting and release mechanism. Usually solenoids tend to get worn out .One way to improve is by changing the mechanism they work, using opto-isolator circuit. This will help eliminate noise and safe some voltage when solenoid contracts. Each of these operations uses a different form of technology, as the glockenspiel uses a MDI sensor. MDI is a port on a hub or switch used to connect to other switches without requiring crossover cables. The other type of software is the Arduino sensor, which is an open-source computer hardware company that design and manufactures kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control the physical world. DMI and Arduino are both sensors but DMI is programmed based on timing of the day, whereas...

...words): What is Medical evacuation and what is its primary goal? What does the “Golden Hour” refer to? Why is it important? Lesson #3, Medical Evacuation SGT Coakley, Jose March 21, 2014 ALC Class #146-14 Medical Evacuation Medical Evacuation is extremely important for our soldiers fighting for our Country. Medical evacuation is a unit or division of the branch that transports wounded personnel to a medical facility/hospital to care for their injuries. The facility is equipped with lifesaving equipment and personnel specialized in the medical field. According to AMEED, the “Golden-Hour” refers to a time period lasting for one hour following traumatic injury being sustained by a casualty or medical emergency, during which there is the highest likelihood that prompt medical treatment will prevent death. “The golden hour is the 60 minute period after trauma, after which the chances of survival for wounded Soldiers drop significantly.” During this period of time, it is critical to have the person transported to a facility that can identify the problem and start treatment immediately. Failure to stay within this timeframe can ultimately mean the difference between life or death for personnel. https://archive.org/details/ost-military-doctrine-fm4_02x2c1, Department of the Army, Medical Evacuation, Retrieved April 21, 2014. http://medevacmatters.org/, Army Medical Department (AMEDD) MEDEVAC Innovations, AMEED, Retrieved April 22, 2014 Medical evacuation is a critical...

...will talk about what is the right way to solve this scenario by exhausting duty-oriented, consequence-oriented, and virtue-ethics reasoning. After all of that, I will discuss what the outcome is when individuals apply different principles of healthcare conclusions as well as how a person determines who is correct when multiple conclusions are found. Having to Sacrifice One to Save a Dozen More There will always be difficult conclusions that have to be made with people that work in the medical field. There will always be instances where sacrifices have to be made to save the lives of others. Introduction The appropriate action for this scenario is the ethical theory of utilitarianism. The main point of utilitarianism is to maximize serviceableness. When one makes a choice regarding a certain course of action, and one needs to exhaust the decision that will give the largest good for the largest amount of individuals. To do this, one can’t only think about themselves, one must think of all individuals that are involved. Every person that is injured or can prosper from this decision has to be examined so that precise evaluation of the end decision can be made. What is the appropriate action for this scenario? In addition, from an ethical point of view, several individuals think that all types of actions are acceptable as long as the profits are larger than costs; however, this isn’t the case at all. The main idea of utilitarianism is to locate...

...tobacco smoking stick which is used as substitute for normal cigarette but having no harmful characteristics of smoking rather providing additional health benefits. The production was carried out with 30-40 labour workforces manually by hands. NIRDOSH got health certification from medical bodies claiming numerous health benefits. The brand tag line was to curb the habit of smoking by simply smoking a different cigarette. NIRDOSH was sold in one main outlet in Ahmadabad and through VPP. Free samples of product were distributed and door to door selling was done to make awareness about NIRDOSH. The annual average sales were 1.4 lakhs per annum. A packet consisting 10 sticks was Rs2.5 subsequently increased to Rs5 per packet.

...Marijuana Debate SOC 331 Cari Lynn Beecham-Bautista September 14, 2015 State vs. Federal Marijuana Legalization Marijuana usage in the United States is a controversial subject that tests the very fiber of the U.S. Constitution. The debate centers about the argument of each states rights under the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. Although many states have legalized marijuana for medical and recreational usage it is still against federal laws. The nation’s capital and eighteen states have legalized medical marijuana use and two states have legalized recreational use. Widespread acceptance in favor of legalization is rapidly spreading. This paper will discuss three different scenarios where marijuana usage in states and the federal government’s stance are in conflict, through the lens of retributive, commutative and distributive justice. The first scenario that will be analyzed is a person who lives in a state that legalized medical marijuana growth, distribution and use in small quantities. To shed some light on this scenario a real world scenario will be described and analyzed. In March of 2015 a family in Washington State went on trial after being arrested by the DEA for the growth distribution and use of marijuana. The family argued that they were using the marijuana within the confines of legalized standards for an elderly man who was cancer stricken and his wife who had arthritis (Hughes, 2015). The federal government on the other hand argued the family...
