...Work Related Project Analysis The analysis of a system is a required and formal investigation which must be done in order to assist a person or an organization in a decision making process. Better choices or decisions are made with a system analysis than without (Kay R, 2002). Identification of the underlying issues or the main complaints made by a client must be included as part of the system analysis. Problems and alternative methods including the risks and benefits of the alternative methods must be assessed as well as part of the system analysis. For the consumers and development team to make the best choice from the several improvement methods, it is important to consider these risks and benefits (Kay R, 2002). Personal and cooperate plans, development, and other services typically use the system analysis in directing decision making. The Reliable Pharmaceutical Services Some health care organizations offer pharmaceutical services to other health care delivery organizations that do not have the ability to run such services. The book ‘System Analysis and Design in a Changing World’ by John W. Satzinger, Robert B. Jackson and Stephen D. Burd illustrates this by the use of a case study of a Pharmaceutical company, The Reliable Pharmaceuticals Services. In this case study, the pharmaceutical services are offered or provided to hospitals, nursing homes and rehabilitation homes. These health care facilities have to ability to make prescription orders on the telephone to the...

...rP os t 9-605-069 REV: MARCH 6, 2013 AMY C. EDMONDSON Phase Zero: Introducing New Services at IDEO (A) op yo In July 2002, Douglas Dayton looked out across the space where designers, engineers, human factors experts, and other specialists worked in teams and reflected that it was not easy to evaluate the recent project carried out for mattress manufacturer Simmons. Dayton was a design engineer and head of IDEO’s Boston office. IDEO was a design and innovation firm known for the extraordinary range of products it had designed and its innovative approach to the design process. For the Simmons project, IDEO had embarked on a service that was not intended to result in a tangible product, at least not right away. Whereas a typical design project progressed through four phases designed to “do the thing right,” this service, known as “Phase 0,” was intended to help a client “do the right thing.” Rather than design a new product based on pre-specified needs, Simmons had asked IDEO to help it “look for unmet needs that exist and to identify new product opportunities.” The project proposal, entitled “Understand and Innovate,” described Phase 0 services as helping clients understand the world in a new way and innovate accordingly. At first glance, mattresses were not exciting territory for the firm, but as the team researched mattress consumers— conducting literature reviews, site visits, and interviews with customers and salespersons—they grew intrigued...

RAFFAELLI op yo Innovation at Timberland: Thinking Outside the Shoe Box In December 2005, CEO Jeff Swartz and COO Ken Pucker headed for a meeting in Timberland’s Stratham, New Hampshire, world headquarters, to celebrate achievements and ensure that plans were in place for several important product launches in the spring. The approach of a new year gave them a chance to reflect on progress made and consider opportunities ahead. tC Jeff and Ken walked past the festive, holiday-decorated company store, with its promotion of ornaments to support Share Our Strength, a hunger relief organization. At the entrance of the company’s cafeteria, they stopped at a display featuring a campaign to stop the genocide in Darfur and an adjacent wall of customized Timberland boots designed by City Year to celebrate sixteen years of partnership in the community. Since 1989, Timberland had served as National Leadership Sponsor to the national youth service corps. All of these reflected the values that constituted Timberland’s soul.

Eliciting the needed behaviour is the job of managers. Increasingly, firms are also dependent on more than mere compliance to the dictates of management.

...MICHAEL E. PORTER The State of Connecticut: Strategy for Economic Development Introduction Connecticut had long been one of the most prosperous U.S. states. With a per capita income of $39,300 in 19991 compared with the U.S. average of $28,542,2 it had the highest standard of living of any state. However, Connecticut had been hit especially hard by the recession of the early 1990s, the worst since the 1930s. During the recession, Connecticut lost one out of every 10 jobs.3 Although the recession ended in 1992, the recovery in the early 1990s was anything but robust. High unemployment rates persisted in some urban areas, and the state’s poverty rate almost doubled, from a 1987–1989 average of 4.5% to 8.4% for the 1997–1999 period.4 Worried leaders initiated the state’s first serious effort to foster economic development in living memory. After several years of little progress, Governor John Rowland (elected in 1994) initiated a cluster-based economic development strategy in late 1995. By 1999, state government had been reorganized, new institutions created, and unprecedented public-private collaboration around competitiveness was taking place. In 2000, Governor Rowland was evaluating the state’s progress thus far and considering how to carry the strategy forward. Connecticut Profile Do No Connecticut, one of the 13 original U.S. colonies, adopted in 1639 the first constitution establishing representative government. Connecticut was the fifth state to approve...

...ASSIGNMENT (S1309012890) Open University Malaysia Semester 2, Sept 2013 BMFM 5103 – Financial Management Question 1 If the goal of a firm is to maximize the shareholder wealth does it mean profit is not important at all? Explain your answer. (5 marks) Maximizing the shareholder’s wealth is long term process. Shareholder wealth is maximized by maximizing the difference between the market value of the firm’s stock and the amount of equity capital that was supplied by shareholders (Brigham & Ehrhardt: 2011). In order to maximize the value of the firm the managers should make all decisions to increase the total long run market value of the firm. Therefore the managers will invest in projects that would not only maximize profit and control cost but also add value to the company through processes that reflects the prices of the stock; as maximizing share price will maximize owner wealth. On the other hand, profit maximization refers to how much dollar profit the company makes. It is a short term approach which can fulfill objective of earning profit but may not help in creating wealth. Hence, financial management emphasizes on wealth maximization rather than profit maximization. As profit maximization is a short term objective of the firm which does not achieve the objectives of the shareholders; wealth maximization is better than profit maximization. However, it does not mean that profit maximization is not important, as...
