...Bangladesh is now integral part of global market. As such there is an urgent requirement for Bangladesh to place the traditional banking pretties in harness with the global trades of a free market economy by following international Banking customs, practices and standards. Today clients of a bank in Bangladesh are exposed as well as interNational markets. They have to stay update with their practice and standards to meet the demands of achieving harmony in the high standards of a free economy. Rationale of the Study: Now a days banking sector have built up as the most important player of the economy. Economists have observed that loan is of the most important aspects of economic activity because of its great role in establishing various projects that generates production and thus generating employment. The only important aspect of loan is economic and social development in addition to achieving a suitable profit margin. Islamic banks consider loan as the basic motivation for community development and a means to get rid of social and economic problems through employment and operation of available resources, such as money and individuals. Especially after the financial crunch, Islamic banking and Islamic loan have proved to be more profitable and less risky. Since EXIM Bank is a Shariah based bank, the major portion of it assets consists of Loan. By analyzing the loan the productivity of a bank can be analyzed. Moreover analyzing the loan helps us to...

...we had studied and analyze the complexities of an organization and how its members interact, what we call organizational behavior. Applying the understandings from the subject in hand, this paper will analyze the organizational structure and set up of my current employer. My contribution for the company comes as a Spa Consultant and has developed into a hands-on position. Given this is a start-up, the company’s financials are merely projections and not available to me. Given the nature of the start-up nature of the project and the non disclosure of financial information the main tools utilized for the analysis of the company are the 7-S Framework analysis, throughout this paper, and the SWOT analysis (see page 18).

The current analysis will explore the leadership style and organizational structure established by a highly visionary, detailed oriented yet inexperienced CEO. But first, lets start by understanding the market we are in.

...Head Start began in 1965 to provide childcare and preschool education for low-income families (Administration for Children and Families [ACF], n.d.). Since its inception, the program has served more than 30 million children and their families (ACF, n.d.). Head Start and Early Head Start targets pregnant mothers and children up to age 5 (ACF, n.d.). This program has the characteristics as a family policy because of the intersection between this public service and the impact on the family system. Most Head Start programs include a family intervention to enhance the educational experience. The program also allows low-income families access to childcare, which is a large family cost, so that the parents or guardians may work and use their income for other family needs besides childcare and preschool education. This paper uses the Popple and Leighninger’s policy analysis model to review the Federal Head Start Program (Chapin, 2014). This model was selected because of the historical, social, and political contexts in which the Head Start program was developed as well as for...

...Staffing – Job Description/Job Analysis 1. A job description outlines the necessary skills, training and education needed by a potential employee. It will spell out duties and responsibilities of the job. Once a job description is prepared, it can serve a basis for interviewing candidates, orienting a new employee and finally in the evaluation of job performance. Using job descriptions is part of good management and it will help an organization better understand the experience and skill base needed to enhance the success of the company. Job descriptions assist in the hiring, evaluation and potentially terminating of employees. Many times there can be a misunderstanding of what a position entails an in-depth, well-prepared job description can help both sides share a common understanding. 2. Announce plan to update job descriptions using the Job Requirements – Job Analysis process to the whole company. Briefly explain the process and the time frame for the project. Motivate employees to participate and dispel any negative feeling about the process.

...WHY I’M PASSIONATE ABOUT REAL ESTATE? Return: In most of the markets real estate investments perform better than equities and other asset classes. In emerging markets probably you have to go for development projects, as rental yield is not very attractive. In most of the developed markets real estate has performed better than stock market over time. And by leveraging your investment you can increase your return on equity many folds. Cash flow component in return: This one of the best thing about real estate investments – it behaves like a fixed income security, and with better yield. Rental income makes real estate more attractive even during tough time and many investors love to focus on the cash flow. Depreciation: You can’t depreciate your stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Depreciation is a gift from the government for real estate investors. Dampening of volatility in the portfolio: Real estate prices don’t fluctuate on daily basis. Fully optimized portfolios with real estate component in it have much lower volatility. Inflation hedge: real estate investments provide a good hedge against inflation. Rents usually increase with inflation, while mortgage payments on the property remain stable. This increases cash flow component. WHY SHOULD YOU NOT INVEST IN REAL ESTATE? Illiquid: Many a times real estate investments behave like illiquid assets. Generally it takes time to execute an actual exit, and liquidity can completely disappear from the market in tough times.

...| | | December 21,2013 | [Head Start or false start] | A strategy to adequately plan projects in the intense and rapid changing healthcare setting of today is imperative to implementing successful projects. | Executive Summary Currently, healthcare is one of the leading topics across the nation ranging from quality improvements to cost reductions. No matter the public focus, projects have become a major part of health systems large and small. As complex projects trend upward in the healthcare industries, the implementation for project management best practices has become a necessity. Many organizations lack experienced project management methods and may even neglect to see the importance of such principles. These factors along with the extreme pressures to execute projects quickly and effectively has given light to increased project false starts. A project false start negatively impacts the project, the organization morale, and ultimately the company’s bottom line. Causes can range from lack of project management knowledge, simple neglect, or tight deadlines. Whatever the cause, there are preventive measures available. In elementary terms, the best defense is to PLAN first. But, even more so, your organization must complete proper project selection and initiation phases before progressing into the next phases of the project lifecycle. Introduction New ideas often bring excitement and momentum; however, rushing into project execution may actually increase the likelihood...

...Running head: PM586_ESSAY QUESTIONS PM586_ESSAY QUESTIONS Maggie Larocque Keller Graduate School of Management Abstract This project schedule for the Huntsville Plant has been completed. The task sequencing as well as the duration of each activity has been assigned with its predecessors. As each phase has been completed, the resource list has been loaded and aligned to each task. This report will analyze the results of the project schedule and resource allocation. An analysis of the Gantt chart reveals that the estimated duration of each activity and when it will be completed. At this time, the estimated completion date is scheduled for July 15, 2012. This will be after the projected deadline of June 30, 2012. An analysis of the Gantt Chart also shows a number of the activities are deemed as critical tasks. We also note that during the Planning Phase, a there are quite a few tasks that are scheduled during non-working hours; we recommend rescheduling the tasks so that they occur during working time. There are also a number of potential scheduling problems with other tasks that may be responsible for delayed start date. Our text, states some critical success factors when scheduling (Gido, p.179): • The estimated duration for an activity must be based on the types and quantities of resources required to perform the activity. • Activities should not be longer in estimated duration than the time intervals at which the actual progress will be reviewed and...

...423: System Acquisition, System Development and Project Management Module 1: IT Systems Planning and Acquisition Case Assignment May 2014 Term May 25, 2014 Assignment: Prepare a 4-6 page paper addressing the following issue: “Review the Challenges in IT System Planning and Discuss in Detail the Problem of Scope Creep” Review the Challenges in IT System Planning and Discuss in Detail the Problem of Scope Creep The overall goal of any project manager is to successfully deliver the project they are overseeing to the customer on time and within the budget that was allotted. This is a lofty goal when you consider that an overwhelming majority of projects do not meet this criteria. To put a figure to that, Claudia Vandermitt in her 2011 article on Managing Scope Creep makes a note to mention that only 32% of all projects were successful in completing on time and on budget. That is quite a shocking percentage, but when you think about how fast IT technology is advancing and creating solutions that encompass the whole enterprise then you can start to get a better picture of the internal and external factors that a project manager needs to plan for to make things not spiral out of control. This is what is going to set the backdrop of this assignment and here I will expand upon and analyze these concepts. For this assignment I’ll start out by discussing the challenges faced in IT systems planning and things the project manager will need to do initially to ensure they...
