...Siemens AG: Global Development Strategy • What were the major causes of the problems with the NetManager project? (I’m not looking for a list of points made in the case; I’m looking for you to step back to a higher level and analyze why these problems occurred.) The problems experienced by the NetManager project appear to be symptoms of integration vs. responsiveness issue within Siemens AG. As a transnational company, Siemens faces strong pressure to globally integrate its operations, and be responsive to the needs of their offices and customer’s needs. The main problem with NetManager was that it had mushroomed in size and strategic importance. This was the result of keeping up with the rapidly changing technological demands, and NetManager becoming a highly visible product for Siemens’ largest customers. Analyzing the various problems, we see that despite the competence of the Bangalore RDC, there is a serious number of integration problems between Munich headquarters and Bangalore. First, there was a gap in product knowledge and competence, which resulted in unrealistic expectations such as project deadlines. Indians held proficiency in desktop and personal computing programming languages, while the Germans held extensive product knowledge concerning their EWSD technology and its functions. As the project grew in size and scope, it required interdependence amongst EWSD systems, knowledge held by German management and not sufficiently provided to Bangalore. Then...

...with each other. There had been multiple requests to the state department for increased security forces even months before the attack. These requests were denied due to lack of efficient intelligence information supporting the request. Without the proper information through intelligence US troops would have been put at a greater risk by going into the unknown rather than preparing for the mission ahead. Once the attack began there was not enough time for US forces to arrive and cause any changes in the outcome. The decision to send more security should have been made long before the attack occurred. There was absolutely not enough security, and had there been the results could have been significantly better. Sufficient security may or may not have prevented the attack but there is a chance that the results could have resulted in fewer deaths. Strong security forces can affect outcomes of situations such as these in many ways. A large security team can cause intimidation against those committing these attacks just by having the numbers to closely fight the group they are facing. This attack had very little security causing the look from an outsiders view to be seen as a greater chance of success while more security would do the opposite and cause thoughts of possible failure instead. In areas such as this where we cannot rapidly respond to uprisings and threats we should have roaming patrols. By implanting this security posture we could increase response time in areas...

...The result of the tests conducted at different locations and times can be found in Table 1 of Appendices. By comparing the estimated number of people within 100 meters against the number of people found by WeChat (within 100 meters), it can be observed that there is a huge deviation. Similarly, there is a variation between the estimated number of people who is likely to be on WeChat and the number of people found by WeChat. The differences in the results can be explained by various reasons and they are as follows: 1. Generally, user with WeChat app is found to be very common in China. However, in Singapore where many social apps are available, WeChat can be seen as less popular as compared to apps like Whatsapp, Line and Tango. Hence, smaller amount of users resulted in lesser number of people discovered by WeChat’s Look Around function. 2. People might have installed WeChat but do not access or use it because they are using other apps (i.e. Whatsapp, Line, etc) to communicate. Hence, information such as user’s location is unavailable on WeChat’s web server. 3. For tests conducted outside of institution (i.e. ID 5 – 6 and 8 – 10): it is likely that users have disabled their “location services” feature of the mobile device or have chosen to delete their location data (in WeChat) to prevent unnecessary data lost and to protect their privacy. Such act affected WeChat’s app ability to determine user’s location. Alternatively, user might be connected to a network with...

...The Usage of Meta Tags The Usage of Meta Tags Meta tags are used by search engine spiders to gather information about the current page the spider is crawling. This data is then used to help the search engines create what are called Search Engine Results Pages. There are three main types of Meta tags, title, description and keywords. The title tag should be something that users will be able to search for in the search box. For example if you’re a breeder of pit bulls, then make the title tag informing users that you are. Descriptions are typically used on the SERPs as an overview of information contained in the page. Keywords are typically used by search engines to aid in ranking the paper besides other similar pages on the SERPs. The keywords tag should be used to sum up what the site it about in detail using “to the point words” for what information is on the current page. This allows a user to type in the general idea of their search and for the spider to crawl for those words. The description tag should be a brief description on what your site offers, does, or is about! For example, if your page is about breeding pit bulls pups in your area, describe the type of puppies, prices, and what...

By synthesizing relevant literature from cognitive psychology, marketing, and e-commerce, this study identifies key contextual factors that are conducive for creating brand positioning online via SERPs. In two experiments, the authors establish that when Internet users’ implicit beliefs (i.e., schema) about the meaning of the display order of search engine results are activated or heightened through feature priming, they will have better recall of an unknown brand that is displayed before the well-known brands in SERPs. Further, those with low Internet search skills tend to evaluate the unknown brand more favorably along the particular brand attribute that activates the search engine ranking schema. This research has both theoretical and practical implications for under- 1 Allen Dennis was the accepting senior editor for this paper. Paul Pavlou served...

...| 9/11/01 and Public Health | HSA4011GI-201032011 Public Health Management - Kevon Pierre | | Denise Solis | 1/22/2011 | | 1 On September 11, 2001 I was heading out with my nephew Alex to family court and my husband Tony could not be with me that day. He was working with Marc Green on the campaign for Mayor of NYC and on that day it happened to be the day to vote to determine who would run for mayor. While driving to the court house, I received a disturbing call from him saying that there had been a plane crash at the twin towers and he was told to get back in his uniform and get to the site. Tony worked for FDNY as a paramedic and on that day all of the public health employees for NYC were called in for an emergency. This specific occurrence has had a great impact in our society and on public health. Security was breached due to the lack of an intense airport security. Since then our government has worked on how this can be prevented from happening to the USA again. The first order of business after the attacks involved a few plans to solve the problems at hand then later and determine how to make them long-term changes. “The Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act (2001), was allotted five billion in grants and ten billion in credit for airlines as form of compensation for 9-11. The reason behind this was to aid airports all across America in returning to their “usual business” since all airports were re-opening after a period of...

...the ones whom greatly influenced their decisions. We could say that those said respondents who said that their family is the one who influenced or chose the certain course they are going to take were really obedient students because they believe that their parent's knows what is the best for them. For some, they maybe forced to take up that certain course. The findings of the study revealed that a big chunk of the students population having 82% didn't want to be in the College of Business and Accountancy in the first place. Reasons for this kind of result may be caused of the unmaid minds of the students that they didn't know what college to enroll into when they entered college. Results have shown that Operations Management ang Marketing having 22% each in the survey conducted are the most prefered courses in the College of Business and Accountancy by students.

...which are the kinds which are implemented by data analyzing and data collecting. By gathering data information will assist an investigator to assemble all of the data information that needs to be solved. Data analyzing help researchers to display all details and statistics to be gathered, designing the models and various explanations to the difficulties that are questioned. The quantitative method of investigation generally performs research sets by testing a hypothesis and taking controll over the investigation conducted. The design stresses the that the contributors for the investigation collect the data and evidence. Providing each of these methods in the designs, investigators will provide their ways through which their research investigation has the ability to solve the difficulties and accumulate other collections by questioning and receiving solutions which may be proper for those requests. Quantitative research includes the appropriate information of figures for the best results. Although applied appropriately, the quantitative research is questionably and determines the importance of the statistics. Team A knows that understanding research is a very significate step in understanding the process research design you are willing to implement.

...10 Controll ing and Allocating Resources Control is typically last in the list of management functions and follows planmng, organi7ing, staffing, and directing. In many ways, controlling is the most important, but it cannot occur until the results of the first four have been implemented. Managers control to ensure that the expected results actually occur after a structure or task is integrated with technology or people. Control depends on information conveyed to managers who continuously monitor sensors to ensure that ind1\ 1dual work results are effective and desirable and that organization objective are accomplished within resource con traints. The management model in Figure 5.8 reflects these relationships. Control allows managers to know if an HSO's or HS's services are high quality. Control enables managers to determine the effectiveness of processes. Control measures the quality of input resources, whether they are properly a llocated, and whether resource usc is appropnate. Control enables a detennination that organization objectives are being achieved. Quality control, infection control, performance improvement, risk management, cost control, utilization review, narcotics control, budgets, position control for staffing levels, and credentials review are all control or control-like activities. Chapter 5 describes the controlling function as gathering infonnation about and monitonng activities and performance, comparing actual results with expected re ults and, as appropnatc...

The severe p rice cutting in pumps has dropped ou r pre-tax margin to less than 3%, far below our historicallO margins. Fortunately, % our competitors are overlooking the opportunities for profit in flow controllers. Our recent 10% price increase in tha t line has been implemented without losing any business. Robert Parker, presiden t of the Wilkerson Company, was discussing operating results in the la test month with Peggy Knight, his controller, and John Scott, his manufacturing manager. The meeting among the three was taking place in an atmosphere tinged with apprehension because competitors had been reducing prices on pumps, Wilkerson's major product line. Since pumps were a commodity product, Parker had seen no al ternative but to match the reduced prices to maintain volume. But the price cuts had led to declining company profits, especially in the pump line (stmunary operating results for the previous month, March 2000, are shown in Exhibits 1 and 2). Wilkerson supplied products to manufacturers of wa ter purification equipmen t. The company had started with a tuuque design for va lves thatt it could produce to tolerances that were better than any in the ind ustry.
