...BMGT 391/6980/Semester 1202 Decision-Making Scenario April 16, 2012 1. What are the issues in this case? List them in order of priority. Panning: Business planning helps you define an agreed route-map for your business. It identifies your key objectives for the next three-to-five years and how they will be achieved. A business plan gives directions and timelines in which to achieve your goals, and provides a guideline for your day-to-day operations and decisions. Sally Paul, rush into her decision, maybe getting nervous that she might lose her customers. Instead of analyzing her strategy, she made an irrational decision, which in many cases can lead to a bad decision. Her goals should had identify the areas of improvement, like an increase in sales or a reduction in costs, and any additional expenditure in order to achieve these goals. Training: If Sally had not rushed in her decision to expand and lower prices to attract customer to her store, she could have develop a training plan to adjust to increase in customers and sales. Phil Bearman, the maintenance supervisor, why is he in charge of the expansion of the parking spaces. Does he have training in architecture? Training should have been part of the business plan. Staffing: One of the problems with understanding the true value of employees is the way many managerial decision makers focus on saving money. Sally should have hired additional employees to cover the additional hours the store is now...

...worker in 19 century. But after he went back to 6 century, he becomes the “God” at that period. He not only can manipulate normal people but also can manipulate the king and the nobility by using his knowledge that he learned from the 19th century. His knowledge helps him become second most powerful people in this country. Hank believes in a country where they have ranks and castes, a man isn’t ever a man, a man is only a part of a man, and he can’t ever get his full growth. When you proved your superiority over him in station, or rank, or fortune, and that’s the end of it--he knuckles down. You can’t insult him after that or you still can, with a lost of useless time on him. People finally will change after they realized they have so much power than before. The devil side inside of Hank finally appears after he realized his knowledge is so powerful at that period, especially when someone challenged his power or someone tries to show off in front of him. Hank is so enjoying on manipulating people that he completely forgot his original motivation for becoming a normal people. His possession of power affected his apparently democratic ideal. The devil side inside of him forces him become more like a dictator not a democrat. It’s pretty ironic that the equality in Hank’s democratic ideal is not as important as the equality in democracy. Hank is so easily got provoke by people who challenged his dominant power. Being as a “God” in his country, any sort of challenge thing would...

...gave him, he ended up living in the streets for a while with no food or anything. He decided that it would be a good idea to go back to his house with his father and older brother and ask if he could work as a servant for them so he could earn money and have a place to stay and food to eat. The first form of deception in this story was the one where Macbeth deceived Duncan. tTis message is made because the young boy thought that he would have enough money live off of and have enough money to party with and blow on strippers and so much more. He blew so much money on strippers that he did not have enough money to even have a place to live and money to get himself food. That is a huge message because the young boy thought that he was set for life, but yet he was wrong. The second example of deception in the...

...de Dehydration Mary J House Sci 241 University of Phoenix August 12, 2012 Water. People really don’t think about water and the importance of it as much as they should. Water is the one thing that we must give our bodies enough of or we will shrivel away into nothingness and die. We can go for days on end without eating food and we will lose weight, but we will survive. This is not the case with water, we must have it in order to stay alive, we could not go many days with no water. Most people don’t realize that our bodies are actually made up of 60% water. If we do not drink enough water we will dehydrate. If we become dehydrated it means that we have lost more water than we have taken into our bodies. Different things and circumstances cause our bodies to expel water and we must drink enough to replace what we put out. Water plays a huge role in our bodies, water is what enables us to sweat, urinate, water pushes poisons out of our systems when we are sick. There are many ill effects of not getting enough water and dehydrating. People can actually die from dehydration. In order to stay hydrated and keep our bodies functioning properly it is imperative that we drink plenty of water. Water does more than we can imagine in our bodies. Water is what regulates the bodies temperature and it is also a cushion for your joints. Water is what helps us to urinate and have bowel movements. Water can also help us to lose weight...

...reasons: college tuition should be enough money, the NCAA is a non-profit organization, and the college athletic departments will not be able to afford to pay the players. z College athletes get a scholarship and free tuition which costs enough so they do not need to get paid. College tuition is a lot of money and most out-of-state public schools cost around $23,000. If the athlete would go to a private out-of-state school it normally cost around $32,000. That is a ton of money to have just handed to you so you can play sports. “Essentially they receive a...

...has its pros and cons. Some people are too selfish for love. They do not value their significant other well enough and they do not show effort to pursue their future in romantic and familial terms. Everyone deserves love, but some people are too selfish and push love away for their wants. They also do not value it enough to find it necessary in their lives. In addition, they do not want to pursue their love because they think that gaining materialistic things, higher status or power is more important. Therefore, people take advantage of love to earn what they desire. In both myths and the real world, there are people who are too selfish for love because they value themselves and materialistic things, higher status or power too much, therefore they are blinded by selfishness. There are two myths that display selfish lovers, “The Archer and the Moon Goddess” and “Theseus and the Minotaur”. In “The Archer and the Moon Goddess”, the selfish lover is Chang O, because “she […] realize[s] the full consequence of her selfishness [after she empties the entire contents of the bottle into her mouth]” (Kong and Wong 38). She wanted to gain godly status again, but she did not think of how Yi would suffer in hell forever. The former goddess only thought it would be a benefit for both of them if she drank the whole potion, and Yi would find happiness on earth because he loves it so much. She only thought of the benefits, not the consequences of her selfishness. This argument does not only apply...

...and family members. Finding a balance between the cost of production of an item and the amount needed to satisfy customer demand can be difficult. There is a significant amount of estimation involved. If there are too many of a product made, then that will mean a loss for the company, as that product will then have to be sold at a cheaper price once the technology advances. If there aren’t enough of a product made, then that means customer dissatisfaction, due to back-orders and long wait times. Budgets and pro-forma statements can be very influential in determining the amount of a product that should be made, and also in determining potential locations to be opened for sales offices. There are many costs associated with beginning a business and allocating capital to the proper areas could potentially be the most significant financial decision that is made. Budgets work by forecasting the amount of capital that is available and is directly allocated to a specific area. Pro-forma statements work by forecasting the end result(s) of a business transaction. Budgets ensure that there is enough capital to go around to meet the initial needs of the business. Since businesses generally...

...funding is due to their current project on two casino resorts in Macau being stopped due to lack of funds. It is believed that US$1.6 billion is what is needed to complete the construction on the casinos however a portion of that, US$350 million is what is needed to get the project back underway. The strategy that is chosen needs to be versatile enough that not only will it help in restarting the casino projects but it also needs to be flexible enough for long term funding. Key Alternatives: Melco has various options in terms of financing their construction project with possibilities of looking at funding in both the domestic markets within Hong Kong, as well has being able to source funding from international markets such as the US. To get a better idea of which market would be the most suitable for Melco the various possibilities need to be compared as well as taking other factors internal and external factors into account. MCEL has stated that raising capital through equity would not be the worst option and they are open to this, provided the joint venture remains evenly split between PBL and Melco whilst also not relinquishing enough shares in order to remain majority shareholders. Domestic possibilities: One domestic possibility would be by issuing corporate bonds in Hong Kong, which has 71 of the 100 world’s largest banks situated there. The Hong Kong debt market is very liberal with international investors free to invest in debt instrument; there are also no restrictions...

...Whether this is the first baby or third baby that you have nursed, it's common to wonder at some point if your baby is getting enough to eat. Because breastmilk is easily digested by babies, it's normal for them to need to eat frequently. This frequent need to eat can make it seem like your baby isn't getting enough breastmilk. Take a deep breath and learn how often your baby needs to nurse and what signs to look for to ensure that he or she is getting enough milk. Nursing Frequency Your newborn has such a small stomach that it won't take much milk to satisfy him or her.

...“Almost 15% of households in America say they don’t get enough money to eat the way they want to eat. Estimates show 49 million Americans make food decisions based on cost,” (Gustafson). There are many people in the world that don’t get enough food in the world and a lot of families can’t pay for the food for their families. Parents are unable to put healthy food on the table because they don’t get enough money since the fruit and vegetable prices have increased. Some parents don’t get much money from their jobs to pay for food. Parents are unable to put food on the table nationally. Some kids can’t eat since the food isn’t healthy. “The updated food pyramid, now called “MyPlate,” encourages higher consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, which are typically more expensive than processed foods,” (Gustafson). If you were to buy healthy food it would be more expensive than to buy unhealthy food. “Purchasing food items that provide important nutrients like potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin D and calcium, could add up to $380 annually to consumers’ grocery bills,” (Gustafson). This sentence explains how much it would or could cost to buy healthy groceries for most families. Lots of families...

...While Vince Young led the Longhorns to a national championship, Texas earned a reported $42 million profit from football during the '05-'06 fiscal year. Michigan earned approximately $37 million, while Florida earned $32 million during that same period. Where does all the money come from? You already know. Just like in the NFL, it comes from television, marketing and media rights, tickets and luxury box/suite income. Further proof of the entertainment might of college football is the fact that we saw the BCS games spread out over a full week, which included four games shown in prime time, including three on non-holiday weekdays Players have an absolute right to be envious and feel exploited. The age-old rationale that the student-athlete's "free education" is equivalent in value to his athletic labor doesn't wash anymore. It's not equivalent. The national average graduation rate is 55 percent for Division I-A football players, according to the federal government's calculation. However, many of the biggest programs struggle to meet the average. Here are a few examples: Texas, 29 percent; LSU, 37 percent; Florida, 42 percent; Alabama, 47 percent; Ohio State, 49 percent; and USC, 52 percent. Clearly, a significant number of football players aren't receiving the benefit of the bargain of this "free education." The mandatory and "voluntary" workouts are often at odds with obtaining that "free education.” (1 & 1.1) Athletes have been pouring their hearts out day after day, Week after...

...Dehydration is when the body does not have enough water and/or fluids as it should have. Dehydration can be caused by a number of things such as losing fluid, not drinking enough water or liquids daily, or a combination of both. Vomiting and diarrhea can also lead to dehydration. If the body loses too much water or fluids it can lead to severe dehydration and can be life threatening. The symptoms of dehydration range from dry or sticky mouth, urine decreases, eyes become dry and irritated, sunken eyes, and in severe cases of dehydration one may become lethargic or comatose. The best way to overcome being dehydrated is to consume water or fluids in small amounts. If a large amount of water is consumed it may result in vomiting, which is not helping to hydrate the body. If worse case scenarios, to get hydrated, a person could be put in the hospital with IV’s to hydrate the body. It is always important to drink plenty of water and fluids whether a person is healthy or ill. Water is essential to health maintenance because it makes up over 60% of our body weight. In children water makes up around 70% (p. 282). Water is found in three areas according to chapter nine of this week’s reading. Intracellular fluid is inside cells. Extracellular fluid is opposite of intracellular as it is located outside of the cells. It can be found in blood, lymph’s, spinal column, eyes & joints. Interstitial fluid is located between the cells and tissues. The comment “I’m dying of thirst” may be a true...

...rituals/obligations that I thought I was supposed to do and our God is happy with that. As I was growing up I noticed in my home which was a joint family my elders were so much religious but the practical living was totally contradictory to everything that they knew from the scriptures. This was greatly disturbing me, so I tried to do the “right thing” in dealing with myself and others. I worked hard believing that if I did enough of the right things and worked hard enough, surely I would go to heaven. Nonetheless, I wanted to know God, understand Him, experience Him, but how? The desire was open. I kept reading the scriptures not understanding much. Years passed by and I landed in Kuwait. One day in a moment my life changed upside down. I was scared, filled with fear, in tears, in panic not knowing what to do. I did not know then that this was the beginning of my journey to know Him (childhood desire). One day, at my lowest point when I was alone and afraid contemplating suicide staring at my pet dog who was eleven years old then, thinking what would happen to him after my death, I received a phone call from a woman whom I knew but did not like much seeking my company to attend a bible class. First I was hesitant and then I agreed out of curiosity. How I Came To Know Jesus Personally I cannot emphasize enough that one class had such a great impact on me that I kept looking forward every week for that class. That was the beginning. Then I completed a series online from...
