After defining the terms I have to explain which contract I think is the most valued contract alternative. Write a 1-2 page paper in which you compare and contrast sealed bidding and competitive proposals in terms of which are most advantageous to contractors. In order to do compare and contrast analysis of seal bidding contracts and competitive proposal contracts, I have to define each concept fully. After completing this task, then I can come to a decision in which I think which contract is the most suited to conduct business in my opinion. Sealed bid is the document enclosed in a glued (sealed) envelope and submitted in response to invitation-to-bid (ITB). Sealed bids received up to the deadline date are generally opened at a stated time and place (usually in the presence of anyone who may wish to be present) and evaluated for award of a contract.

... 1) The administrative agency which I choose is the Small Business Administration (SBA). The reason why this agency and the proposed regulation interest me is because I have worked for the Social Security Corporation in the businesses development department where I worked on micro projects and small businesses. The way this regulation that has been proposed may affect me is by enhancing my experience in small businesses. 2) The proposed rule made by the Small Business Administration is on the size standards of small businesses of some 35 industries of the North American Industry Classification System, NAICS, and other services. The regulation proposes an increase in the size standard of the relevant small businesses. The regulation also proposes an eight-size-standard-level methodology. 3) In my public comment I would propose that the regulation should not be limited to the increase of size standards but it has to examine the quantity standard, which means to add more industries to be included in these small businesses. 4) The deadline for the comments on the regulation was June 15, 2011 5) (a) I could not submit my comments because the deadline was past due. (b) Although I am in favor of the proposed regulation, these are the five legal theories I could use to overturn the regulation in court: 1- Arbitrary and capricious. The agency has to show evidence that supports their proposal and they must explain this evidence to prove the rational connection...

...Corning Inc. To: From: Subject: Recommendations for the three proposals Corning Inc.’s strategy – to compete in four worldwide business sectors (communications, laboratory sciences, consumer housewares, and specialty materials) and to deliver long-range superior economic benefits to its employees, consumers, communities, and shareholders – has served the organization well for over three decades as evidenced by a transformed business portfolio, record earnings, and the emergence of a new spirit within the organization. However, due to diverse changes in trends that characterize the industry’s landscape, there is the need to come up with innovative proposals that originate from diverse business sectors. The CEO of Corning Inc. hopes that these proposals would aid in the company’s continual growth. These proposals deal with (a) the laboratory sciences, (b) communication (fiber optics), and (c), the television glass division. The opinions given are a result of a comprehensive deduction of the Porter’s Five Forces model so as to identify the best paths of actions to achieve a proper competitive advantage in the industry. For the first proposal, I think it is vital that Corning maintains its relationship with Ciba Geigy. Ciba Geigy has portrayed a strong commitment to the partnership’s success as evidenced by its willingness to preserve with significantly low returns over the next few years as the venture continues to grow. Furthermore, it has a good strategic fit with Corning Inc...

Employers place a heavy importance on communication skills for effective job placement, performance, career advancement, and organizational success. Communication skills are one of the most required skills during the hiring process. However, people are not born with great communication skills. Although personal traits can improve communication skills such as the ability to read, write, and speak, they still need to be learned and improved. Understanding the process of communication is important for team communication. The process of communication begins with the sender who as an idea. The idea can be influenced by mood, frame of reference, background, culture, and physical makeup, as well as the context of the situation. Once the idea is formed, the sender encodes the idea in a message. When encoding the message, the encoder must be aware of the target audiences’ culture, background, and attitudes. After the idea is encoded in a message, it is travels over a channel such as computer, phone, spoken words, letters, fax, and so on. For example, when companies send brochures to your mail, they are delivering a message to you. When the receiver receives the message, he or she decodes it. Lastly, feedback is generated by the receiver and sent back to the user through a channel. When communicating in a team, there can be many barriers to communication. For example...

...E-Business Water Life Task 1 Dwalyn Morgan Western Governors University A1. Viability of Product or Service For the last forty two years Water Life has been one of the best “America’s Premium Water”, companies in the United States. Water Life has numerous products and services from water filtration systems for businesses, and even having bottled water delivered at a home’s doorstep for the convenience of families.

Objectives The very first thing to remember is: Failing to plan is planning to fail, so planning is necessary. a.
