For all accounts since its beginning the N.Y.P.D. had achieve a great deal of recognition in lowering the crime in NYC, and for keeping the City safe. Even Sir Robert Peel would have been proud. However, some may argue that several of “N.Y. finest” as they are known, only protecting their own interest and often caught with their hands in the proverbial honey pot.

Life was good for officer Kelvin Jones, he drove a BMW, wore expensive clothes, owned a condo, and financed his girlfriend Spanish studies in South America, all with an officer’s salary. Back in 2003, Kelvin Jones who was originally from the island of Granada, went to college and graduated with a degree in criminal justice, was registered as media guide as “hard hitter with a good nose for the football” (Hays, 2012). On his application Jones listed his criminal degree, and according to Michael Orozco, Jones defense, Jones went to work for the intelligence Division “right out the academy.” Or though, Jones itself did not confirm or declined the information. Even though, is a well-known practice that at times supervisors may pulled out recruits out of the academy and given them special training to become undercover investigators.

Green 2 December 2014 Business Intelligence Applications On the May 4th, 2014 episode of Mad Men (appropriately entitled “The Monolith”, a clever nod to the iconic black monolith which provides the impetus for the evolutionary leap from beast to man in Arthur C Clarke’s novel “2001: A Space Odyssey”) Sterling Cooper & Partners, the fictional ad agency around which the show revolves, purchases and installs a brand new IBM 360 computer. While the vast majority of the office greets the massive, expensive machine with much apprehension (“What man lay on his back counting stars and thought about a number?” asks Don Draper, head of the Creative Department (played by John Hamm)) (Stevenson, 2014), Senior Partner and visionary Jim Cutler (played by Harry Hamlin) understands the power and potential of just such a machine, particularly in the field of advertising. Sterling Cooper & Partners gain an edge that their competition would not have for several more years, as well as a service they can offer their customers, one many of whom would not provide for themselves for even longer. What Jim Cutler was envisioning was a strategic idea currently referred to as Business Intelligence. A Brief History of Business Intelligence The concept of Business Intelligence (BI) began as a direct descendent of an information system called the Decision Support System (DSS), a system used for complex...

...The assumptions Ricci has made in deterging the market potential have a few limitations that present a risk for the product. The first market share objective stated is “People who use suntan and sunscreen products represent the market for The Beach Carrier”. While this may represent a large market for the product, most people who use sunscreen only use it during the summer months or the hot months. This limits the sales of the product due to the seasonality of the target market. Another limitation is that Ricci has perceived the target market to only be women because “men do not buy bags”. This reduces the potential target market by nearly 50%. These limitations present a risk for the products sales. By only targeting women and not men, Ricci is presenting the product as a women’s bag, when in reality, this bag should be a unisex bag since it is used to transport items needed for a day on the beach. Men go to the beach just as women do, and by only targeting women this will place a cap on sales of the product. 3. How...

...Operations Management Case Study - 2 Benny Breweries: Bottle Replenishment THE BOTTLE REPLENISHMENT DECISION Early in 2004, Manish Krishnan, purchasing manager for Benny Breweries, Mangalore, was trying to determine how many bottles to purchase in the coming year. During 2003, the market had leveled off, and 2004 sales predictions were difficult. On the one hand, Krishnan wanted to be sure that sufficient bottles were available to supply 2004 sales levels, yet also wanted to minimize year-end inventories. Covered storage space for empty bottles was tight, and a bottle design change seemed possible in 2005 or 2006. COMPANY BACKGROUND Benny Breweries was located in Mangalore. Over the years, the company had established an excellent reputation. Benny Beer had begun to gain popularity of late, and as a result, a modest market expansion started in 2000. In February 2004, sales reached the highest level in the company’s history. However, in 2003, the sales increase had been well below the trend average (see Exhibits 1 and 2). Four sales peaks occurred during the year: Holi, Christmas, Easter and Onam (refer appended note). Holi was the highest sales period but each peak caused the company to operate on tight schedules and Benny hired more labor and scheduled extra shifts. BREWING PROCESS Beer brewing started with extraction of sugar from malt by an enzymic process. This sugar was then boiled with hops, producing a sterilized and concentrated solution. The resins extracted from the...

Problem Statement 4 Proposed solutions and alternatives 4 Overview 4 ERP 6 Supply Chain Management Software 7 CRM 7 Data Warehouse 8 Localized upgrades 8 Comparative study 9 Ideal Infrastructure 10 Recommendations 11 References …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. 13 Executive Summary Vermont Teddy Bears is a private company that specializes in the manufacture of novelty items based on an e-commerce business model. Company management aims to generate new revenue streams through modifications to the retail system and the underlying IT infrastructure. The current IT infrastructure is robust enough and can handle peak times, but is constituted of an amalgamation of off-the-shelf software and home developed middleware with no comprehensive documentation available. The company CIO is studying four plans to upgrade the existing infrastructure, replacing legacy systems with an ERP, implementing a CRM system, implementing an SCM system, and creating a data warehouse for business analytics purposed. Also proposed is a mix and match alternative whereas only the necessary upgrades are done. An ideal model for the VTB IT infrastructure is built and compared against the proposed alternatives. A final recommendation combining 2 alternatives with the objective of upgrading the retail system and providing data warehouse based business analytics is issued.

...subject of various pranks and other forms of workplace bullying by her fellow male colleagues. Second, she was subject to harassment by being spanked by a fellow employee. Third she was subject to verbal harassment by being told to "grow some balls" and also by harassment from male employees putting sings up saying bras optional. Lastly, she was discriminated against by being fired for negligent behavior when there were no repercussions for men acting in similar poor behavior. Since these facts show that Teddy's Supplies' is a culture of hostile working conditions it would be difficult for you, Mr. Moore to show that the company acted prudent to prevent said behavior despite the policies in place and the circumstances. As case law of Teresa Harris v Forklift Systems, Inc. points out a pattern of insulting behavior is a form of sexual discrimination so the fact that a pattern of insulting behavior towards Mrs. Pollard exists does provide evidence that discrimination is present. Given that Mrs. Pollard was the only female in the main warehouse and such an environment was present it is clear Mrs. Pollard was receiving disparate treatment due to the fact she was a female. My best advice on what to offer for settlement would be two times her salary. Offering two times her salary would pay for the time she had to endure the criticism and harassment she suffered while in the workplace. It would also provide her front pay to make her whole for the time it takes to find another similar...
