...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...

...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 second task is explanation which involves analysis, the cause and effect in order to provide a better understanding of what the larger issues are. Take the time to see what can drive and influences a particular outcome; the company should focus on identification of causal factors and be able to understand on how much this factor will create or contribute to specific outcomes.

...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...

The strategy will provide an overview of the training objectives, identifying the people involved, the different streams and the content of each steam, organized into courses and sessions. http://carl.sandiego.edu/gba573/critical_issues_affecting_an_erp.htm Koch, C., "Surprise, Surprise," CIO, June 15, 1996. The length of implementation is affected to a great extent by the number of modules being implemented, the scope of the implementation (different functional units or across multiple units spread out globally), the extent of customization, and the number of interfaces with other applications. The more the number of units, the longer implementation. Also, as the scope of implementation grows from a single business unit to multiple units spread out globally, the duration of implementation increases. A global implementation team has to be formed to prepare common requirements that do not violate the individual unit's specific requirements. This involves extensive travel and increases the length of implementation. The problem with ERP packages is that they are very general and need to be configured to a specific type of business. This customization takes a long time, depending on the specific requirements of the business. For example, SAP is so complex and general that there are...

...Result Reporting How to analyze the focus groups results is by collecting data, information labels, knowledge (findings), theory, and implications. Data grouping will group answers from all interviews to each question. Information labels are to organize and classify answers into categories. Knowledge is to collect the information and answer the research objective, theory is what develops, and implications are what it means and what major themes emerge. This requires a little bit of time. A big idea or theme takes time to emerge. (www.focusgroupstips.com) Survey researchers employ a variety of techniques in the collection of survey data. People can be contacted and surveyed using several different modes: by an interviewer in-person or on the telephone, or on the internet, or by paper questionnaires. The choice of mode can affect who can be interviewed in the survey, the availability of an effective way to sample people in the population, how people can be contacted and selected to be respondents, and who responds to the survey. (Www.people-press.org/methodology/collecting-survey-data). Hiring a third party to collect the data for in surveys may be costly depending on what the survey is and who is giving it. But this also makes for a better collection of information because they are not involved in your business and will bring in good information for your business. The results of the research will be represented in an electronic presentation and emailed to various...

...The Humanistic-Encouraging Manager Humanistic-Encouraging managers inspire their subordinates to think, grow and take responsibility for themselves. They do this by demonstrating belief in what their staff members can accomplish. These managers build problem-solving skills and confidence by asking insightful questions designed to help subordinates arrive at their own solutions. Humanistic-Encouraging managers consistently show faith in their subordinates' ability to improve themselves, and actively support their efforts. As a management style, Humanistic-Encouraging is highly effective at obtaining measurable, bottom-line results: subordinates easily develop respect for these managers, and are motivated to achieve and sustain peak performance levels.

...CHAPTER 5. EMPIRICAL RESULTS, FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS 1. Over all graphical analysis For any index the best way to gauge its long term movement is to plot its movement over a period of time. So here to start with the analysis part , first the overall movement of the daily “close” data for S&P CNX NIFTY FIFTY is examined for the period starting from 2nd May 2002 till 3rd Feb 2012. There are in total 2347 observations and the econometric package EViews 7 has been used to track the movement. The plot is shown in Fig No 5.1. [pic] Fig No 5.1. Daily movement of Nifty Fifty “close” during 02/05/2002 – 03/02/2012 From the graph it is clear that Nifty has shown an upward trend over the period of time. While the upward trend is pretty evident from 2002 to 2007 however since 2007 Nifty movement has been somewhat unstable due to frequent market fluctuation and thus the market seems to be more volatile during this period. In terms of volatility another aspect is visible from the graph that is an upward trend is being followed by further upward trend while a downward trend is being followed by further downward trend and this feature is known as “volatility clustering” and this volatility clustering seems to be present in the index. More about the volatility and the movement of the index will be explored in the further subsections where the task of comparing Nifty movement at times is being taken. 2. Over all statistics The performance of Nifty over the years is tabulated...

...Getting to Results Tayt Tolman COM 516 November 9, 2011 * Teamwork is a familiar expression to depict a group of people working together to achieve a common goal. Teamwork is used frequently when referring to sports teams performing to accomplish a purpose; nevertheless, teamwork is now a standard expression in the workplace. The success of the team is directly connected to the efficiency of the team. The workplace is a results-based culture and the performance of the team is linked to how the team attains results. According to Higgs (2007), “It appears that a number of factors are more likely to be dominant in explaining variation in team performance” (p.82). Higgs explains further that it is the individual personalities of the team members, accompanied with the techniques used by the team to become productive is what sets other teams apart (Higgs, 2007). This paper will examine the critical components of the team getting results while working as a collective and collaborative unit, the internal management of the team and its relationship to success, the effectiveness of team meetings and the technological tools that are available for teams to implement in the work environment. The Team Working Together Teamwork begins with the individual; each individual in a team needs to be a team player, willing to work together to accomplish a bigger goal. Each person on a team has something different that he or she can contribute, and teams function best when team...
