...Response to Discussion Mod 3 1. Job order costing is a system for assigning manufacturing costs to individual products. Job order cost systems is used when products are made based on specific customer orders. Each product produced is considered a job. Costs are tracked by each job. 2. Residential Home Construction company 2a. A Job Order Cost system can be used to help maximize profits in a residential home construction company by measuring and recording direct material cost, direct labor cost and applying these costs to specific jobs. Each home can be considered a separate “job” and as such each home is billed separately. Once job order cost system has been utilized a construction company can determine the profit of building a specific type of home. By utilizing job order cost a construction company can identify whether using a certain material or laborer can reduce the cost of building and increase the profit margin, or vice versa. 2b. Cost control forces a construction company to ensure that all decisions made during the construction of a home are based on an estimate of cost propositions of the alternatives being considered, and that no decisions are taken whose cost propositions will cause the total budget to be surpassed. This ensures that each model will be profitable for the company. 2c. A residential home construction company can maximize profits by producing houses that have similar material and designs. A construction company has the potential of purchasing bricks...

...TrafficLoad 03-10-2011 (3 october that is) This is a simple traffic loading fix, for people who have modded cars and get the issue of always the same car appearing. It is also a welcome addition for people who wish to have more diverse traffic and/or want more control of the amount of traffic appearing.

...With saturation in their traditional markets, emerging markets offer some real opportunities for franchise systems today. Saying that, is penetration of the emerging markets easy? Are companies guaranteed success if they open locations there? Hardly. Not every company will do well in the emerging markets, any more than every company will do well in the “traditional” markets. First of all, there is no such thing as a single profile for any of the emerging markets. They are not fungible, and companies need to understand that ethnic backgrounds, consumer preferences, economic conditions, local competitors, real estate, and community support among a host of other variables must be evaluated. But a strong opportunity exists. There is a rapidly expanding minority middle class with a dramatic increase in the number of African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and new immigrants entering the workforce and achieving management positions and wealth. Working with clients and government in establishing emerging market opportunities, my firm uses a tool called a “leakage analysis” to measure local demand for products and services. Our studies often find that for certain products and services, some emerging markets often have higher sales potential than suburban markets. If the demand is there, why are these markets still relatively underdeveloped for branded retailers and service providers? The answer is really quite simple: Other opportunities seemed better. Expansion was booming and except...

...R. Ravi THE SPATE of nidhi companies failing to repay their depositors on time compounded the woes of the investor community. These depositors, unlike those in unincorporated bodies and collective investment companies, cannot be accused of ignorance or greed in choosing the avenue to invest in as the nidhi companies are recognised under Section 620A of the Companies Act, regulated under its provisions and further registered with the Reserve Bank of India as per the provisions of Section 45IA of the RBI Act 1997 . It is surprising that the nidhi companies, despite being allowed to borrow from and lend only to members against security such as jewels or immovable property, face a liquidity crunch. Some acts of commission and omission by the companies which have become sick are: AAcceptance of deposits without any limit or determination of the deployment of the funds (deposits were accepted even for 280 months in some cases); AInvestment in immovable property to house branch offices that were started arbitrarily; AChange in management; AAdvertisements inviting deposits that violated the provisions contained in the July 6, 1996 government notification. The Government, vide November 1, 1999 notification, directed that nidhi companies, recognised as such under Section 620 A of the Companies Act, shall not carry on any business other than borrowing and lending in its own name. It also listed the other thi ngs nidhi companies are prohibited from doing: Open new branches; open current accounts...

...My office is the place that I spend the majority of my time. The centerpiece of the office is my desk, my own mission control center. Like the mission control center of NASA, my office is adorned with many diagrams, pictures, and documents. It truly is a command center that is fully equipped to run a complex business. In today’s fast paced business environment, a well-organized and efficient office is needed to succeed. To achieve this sort of environment a person must have the necessary tools in place to meet their needs. A desk with the proper equipment, space to properly hang documentation, and a floor to organize other needed pieces of equipment. Organization can seem overwhelming at first, but with a little patience the task is really quite easy. Start with the biggest space hog in the office which is your desk. The desk should be clean, easily accessible, and sturdy. A desk should be able to withstand the weight of your pc, monitor, and desktop accessories. It should also have plenty of storage in which to put items that do not need to be accessed on a regular basis. These items could include: notes pads, personal accessories, food, pens, pencils and much more. Another crucial aspect of a well-organized office is to have uncluttered walls. I know it is tempting to hang cat photos, and inspirational pictures, but they serve no purpose in productivity. Items such as white boards, contact lists, charts, and graphs are much more suited for an efficient office. The final...

...DOUBLE LOOP LEARNING – AN EXPERIENCE This example is a bit too technical, but as I believe that this is a good example from my experience about double loop learning (we used to call this as “Thinking outside the Box”), thought of putting it the least technical form as possible. I was working as a software architect in a particular client’s team. That software system was pretty old and matured (the system was in existence for the past 20 years) and hence we used to treat the existing guidelines in use as the best available. As the system consisted of several hundred independent software programs (also known as modules), each of those has to pass a huge amount of data (names, addresses, other program related data etc.) between them during the operation. As a standard and also to ensure conformity, they used to employ a pre-defined structure to pass data (which will have a fixed size limit with each field having specific starting and ending locations. for e.g.: For address, the first name will be there in the first 30 characters of that structure and middle name will be coming in the next 30 and then comes the last name, followed by address line 1 and 2, each of which is 35 characters in length etc.). The flip side of this is that, even though you are introducing a new field in this predefined structure only for a couple of modules in this 700+ modules system, you will have to modify all the 700+ components to be able to maintain the same structure across, as else, the data positions...

...Acceptance of Body Modifications Acceptance of Body Modifications The acceptance of body modifications is a very big problem today. People that modify their body aren't being completely accepted in society. There are some cases where it is accepted but it is mostly frowned upon. Understanding is the first step to acceptance so it is my goal to help everyone understand. Body modifications are a big part in my life even if it doesn't seem like it. I stretch my ears and to me that is a big deal and it is something that I really enjoy. There are so many different reasons that people modify their body. Some people do it in order to fit in and others do it to be different. One big problem I have noticed about having body modifications is trying to get a job is a lot more difficult. This shouldn't be a problem though because we are all humans and no matter what any ones choice we should accept each other for what we do and who we are. The fact is that it shouldn't be more difficult to get a job when a person is modified compared to someone who isn't because body modifications don't change someones personality. In addition, everyone deserves a chance. Why would you not give someone a chance just because they look different? Furthermore, if someone is modified it is better to let them change to what they want their image to be so that they can feel comfortable in their own skin. First off, changing the way someones body looks in any way doesn't mean...

...TUI University BUS 401 Case Study Module 3 Dr. Yi Ling Abstract Outsourcing occurs when a company either buys products or services from outside sources or sends work to outside contractors versus doing it themselves. There are several advantages and disadvantages to outsourcing to include cost savings, sharing risk and developing better leaders internally. There are also some disadvantages like lack of quality control, loss of some management functions and losing the ability to build well rounded leaders in all aspects of the company. In a country like Iraq, the United States military is outsourcing many occupations in an effort to rebuild the Iraqi economy and eliminate the need for military presence at the same time As our lesson for module 3 starts out with in one of the first comments, in that people are the main asset of any organization, it is up to the organization itself, mainly through its Human Resources Department to figure out what parts of a companies process or performance could be contracted out for somebody else to perform. I am going to discuss some advantages of outsourcing to include saving money, the shared risk associated with outsourcing, accommodating fluctuations in requirements, and the assistance in developing internal staffs. I will also discuss some disadvantages to utilizing outsourcing within a business to include poor quality control, loss of managerial control, decreased loyalty among company employees, and the loss in developing...
