...to destroy the integrity of the software. Since configuration management extends over the life of the product, and since tools, techniques, and standards exist solely aimed at its proper execution, configuration management can stand alone as a module within a graduate curriculum. > Q. 2: What are the Requirements for the Success of Configuration Management? The key requirement for success of configuration management is the commitment of all levels of management to enforcing its use throughout the project lifetime. Configuration management, like other parts of software engineering perceived as being tedious, may require some coercion for success. A further requirement is the availability of a clearly stated configuration management plan. > Q. 3: How can we say that Configuration Management is a Cost Saving Tool? By helping to maintain product integrity, configuration management reduces overall software development costs. Cost savings during a particular phase of the life cycle depend on the depth of application of configuration management. For instance, controlling individual source code modul es costs more than only controlling the fully integrated product, but should result in overall savings due to reduction in side effects from individual...

...The three types of evaluations described to date: needs assessment, process evaluation, and outcome evaluation. Discuss how the three types of evaluations work together to present a picture of a program. The Process Evaluation determines whether program activities have been implemented as intended and resulted in certain outputs. The Process Evaluation can be conducted periodically throughout the life of a program by reviewing the activities and output components of the logic model. Basically, it is the road map; it gives details of what the program needs to achieve, provide/ serve, etc. The Outcome Evaluation measures program effects in the target population by assessing the progress in the outcomes that the program is to address. For instance, in our program, we measure the program effects with surveys, such as physical measurement: Illness...

...Marketing fundamentalsFUNDAMENTALS OF AN INTEGRATED MARKETING COMMUNICATION PLAN This document is intended to provide a general guide to students in Bus 134B, Integrated Marketing Communications, as they develop their semester project. Hopefully, this will provide an additional “comfort zone” to students, enabling a clearer understanding and a faster start with the project. References to page numbers and figures whose content is incorporated here refer to Chapter 4, The IMC Planning Process, of Integrated Advertising, Promotion, and Marketing Communications, Clow & Baack, 5th Edition, Prentice Hall, 2011. Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) is the term used to describe the entire program by which you communicate with your customers. The “face, personality and spirit” of your company and products (all marketing mix variables) should blend together to present a unified message. Note that an IMC plan is NOT a marketing plan. An IMC plan is the portion of the marketing plan that involves all promotional aspects of the marketing plan. All communications with customers, including but not limited to • personal selling • consumer sales promotions • trade (channel) promotions • advertising • public relations • corporate as well as product positioning • customer service experiences are included in a complete IMC plan. Each of these different communication types must be aligned with and in support of each other and the overall positioning (Value Image) of company. To develop a feeling...

...Summary of Research Accomplishments I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with an anticipated graduation in August 2018. As a part of my DNP degree requirements, I decided to focus my scholarly project on the graduate clinical education. Majority of advanced practice nursing (APN) programs rely heavily on one-to-one preceptor-student model to provide clinical education. Nationally, there is inadequate number of clinical sites and clinical preceptors. And many APN programs are facing challenge to retain and recruit graduate clinical preceptors especially in the primary care including the DNP program at the UW-Madison. Beside a high demand, preceptors available to precept have to overcome several barriers to provide a high quality clinical education including a lack of any formal training in an educator role....

The Communities Resolving Our Problems (C.R.O.P.) recommends, "One place to begin is in defining the nature of thinking. Before we can make it better, we need to know more of what it is" (Houghton, 2004)...

...assessment of the new performance evaluation process 3 Did the new system meet expectations and targets? 4 Critical factors that contributed to the successful implementation of the system at Morgan Stanley 5 Part B. My personal development plan 5 Part C. Two people management examples using the SARL form 9 First example 9 Second example 10 Part A. Morgan Stanley Case Morgan Stanley is an American multinational financial services corporation. The corporation, formed by partners Henry S. Morgan, Harold Stanley and others, was founded in 1935. In 1993 the company headed by John Mack turned into a “one-firm firm.” At the beginning of 1990s, amid its rapid growth the company was facing a problem of choosing future leaders capable of effective management. Throughout its history, Morgan Stanley had formal performance evaluation and career growth systems. Each year the company was recruiting fresh blood from top universities who had “raw intellect and some basic social skill” and who shared the company’s values. The atmosphere within the company contributed to career development and growth. At the same time, the company itself didn’t monitor individual results or career growth of its employees on a regular basis. Performance evaluation was based on “up-or-out” principle. Managers didn’t pay enough attention to training their subordinates because of the increasing number of employees. My assessment of the new performance evaluation process In 1993, Morgan Stanley formulated...

...reduce the victim’s trauma, as well as promote recovery through their programs Direct services. In order to provide effectiveness for this agency, as well as succeed, Program planning should be used in correlation with the mission of the organization. There needs to be different components that the planning needs to provide, that includes Inputs, and the planning must also include a theory for its processes and for the Decisions of the program. Another component for this agency’s planning processes, is Program evaluations, to ensure that their services and delivery of services, are actually Providing correctly for their participants, and clients. By conducting consistent program Evaluations, the agency will be able to revise and improve their planning. I believe that finding out great information, is to ask a series of questions, the First question is asking how program planning and program evaluation describe, how the Two components of evaluation and planning are related. In my own opinion, I believe They are deeply related, because once you have a good plan in line, you have to Conduct an evaluation, to see if the plan is working. The agency also needs to know Where the areas are that need to be revised, and what areas need to be worked on and What are the root...

...Egypt 's Accounting and Auditing Standards and the adoption of International Accounting Standards Brief history of accounting in Egypt Historically, Egyptian accounting was not capital-market oriented but rather followed the principles of macro-accounting with huge government intervention aimed at tightly controlling the economy -- and was closely connected with accounting for tax purposes. Economic liberalisation began in the mid 1990s – with aspirations aimed at creating a guided free market economy – this involved the reactivation of the stock exchange market in 1995 and a privatisation programme. The transition posed challenges for the Government, private sector institutions and accountants alike. Increasing the role of the private sector required changes to and reforms of accounting systems in order to support better decision-making, attract investments, stimulate economic development, and enhance foreign investors’ confidence in the market. Egyptian accounting and auditing standards (1997–2002) As part of the reform process, the Government of Egypt pursued a policy of harmonising (EAS- Egyptian Accounting Standards) with IAS, while ensuring that specific characteristics of the Egyptian operating environment were taken into account. As a result of Ministerial Decision No. 503, in October 1997 Egypt established the Permanent Committee for Accounting and Auditing Standards to issue EAS that were to be based on IAS, yet modified to suit the local arena. Although official...
