The objectives of SSM’s SDP II are: • To enhance delivery and improve accuracy of information; • To achieve a standardised and consistent mode of reporting with enhanced analytical capabilities; • To promote data usability and exchange flow with external stakeholders. According to Nor Azimah, SSM also promotes the adoption of XBRL as a nationwide format to be used by key agencies such as the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN), Securities Commission (SC) and Bursa Malaysia and the building of extension taxonomies by the mentioned agencies. The said adoption will provide SSM, other regulators and businesses with detailed data which can be aggregated and made available to stakeholders in the form of industry analysis for industrial benchmarking. The move to XBRL-based reporting is also in line with plans to transform Malaysia into a digital country by 2020, as XBRL reports form part of the digital reporting chain. At the recent Digital Malaysia Press Conference held on 5 July 2012 by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) along with Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC), Datuk Badlisham Ghazali, CEO of MDeC told the media that Digital Malaysia will help drive automation and technology adoption to ensure productivity and...

... | | Memo To: InterClean Management From: Students 1 CC: HR Manager Date: April 22, 2010 Re: New Sales Team – Job Analysis and Selection To help with our company’s new direction of selling full -service cleaning solutions, I have been asked to select a new sales team from the combined employees of Interclean and EnviroTech. To accomplish this task, I needed to develop a new job analysis for the sales team, consider a workforce planning system, identify a selection method, and select the team members by using the job analysis and the selection method. This memo explains this process. Nice intro Job Analysis You may think that I should just select the appropriate employees without doing a job analysis. I contend that job analysis not only helps define a job, it gives our company a competitive advantage because we will understand the type of employees our company needs to accomplish our new sales initiative (Siddique, 2004, p. 219). Good I think we can all agree that giving our company a competitive advantage is worthwhile. A job analysis consists of a job description that lists the task requirements and a job specification that lists the worker requirements (Cascio, 2005, p. 158). Task requirements are the tasks or functions that will need to be done on the job. Worker...

Bus1050, section 005, will meet Mondays a full 3 hours from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM in SFEBB 160. We will use Canvas exclusively in this class for syllabus, handouts, notes, etc. Be familiar with Canvas. Foundations of Business Thought will introduce the student to the cultural, historical and philosophical thought surrounding the issues of business and commerce throughout the ages. By examining the words of great authors, we will get a sense of the timeless nature of business and make the observation that the issues currently facing individuals and business have their origins in writings centuries old and from a wide array of cultural and geographic underpinnings. A brief historical trace will be made to connect us to those businessmen and women who pursued many of the same goals we do today. The course will be divided into three semester sections with six functional areas, each followed by an Exam. A lecture outline is posted to Canvas in the week that section is started. Section 1: A. The Fundamentals of Business - We will read many of the classics of literature and philosophy to discern the authors' beliefs about business fundamentals and, in the...

Students are welcome to come into my office and do not need an appointment to see me during office hours. I will also generally be in my office most days from (Monday thru' Thursday at the very least) 10- 4 pm. I have almost (about 99%of the time) never refused to see a student who comes to my office without an appointment during these non-office hour times, but there may be occasions when I will say “could you please come some other time” because I have to attend other meetings or I have a very tight deadline to meet. To avoid the possibility of students being disappointed by coming in during non-office hours and not being able to see me, I request that you call me/email me and fix up an appointment before coming. Also, I have found email (jvijayak@vcu.edu) to be a very useful tool both for students and me in answering / clearing up most student questions / doubts. One request – Please do not knock on my door or ask to see me after 6.40 p.m. on Wednesday. I would like to have the minutes before class to myself to get ready for class.
