...” says Victorio. “As an employer, you need to help your employees fill their cups back up, because they are being significantly drained. Whenever you have people being pushed at absolute top levels performing on all 100 cylinders all of the time, they run out of gas. And when they run out of emotional gas, negative behaviors start springing up.” Smart Business spoke with Victorio about how one-on-one coaching with employees can improve morale and help them work better together as a team. What is the value of executive coaching? It can improve morale and provide an internal vision for employees as they ask: What is my value? Why am I here? What am I doing? How can I do it better? Improved morale increases productivity and, in some cases, employers see a change in the first week, with people taking responsibility for their communication with one another, approaching their differences of opinion with less of an edge, having conversations happening in a different way and struggling less. Why should employers be concerned about stressed, overworked employees? It can impact their...

...Introduction There currently is not a comprehensive view of the existing and needed business systems of Riordan manufacturing (Smith Services Consulting Inc., 2011). The management of Riordan Manufacturing has submitted Service Request SR-rm-012 – Business Systems to have Smith Consulting create a summary of the business systems needed for effective management. Technical Team Bravo will begin with an overview of the current systems that exist in the areas of Finance and Accounting, Payroll and Human Resources, Information Technology, and Sales and Marketing. For each area covered, Technical Team Bravo will describe the business systems and subsystems used, identify who uses them, identify interrelations between business systems and subsystems, and include any noted disparities. Technical Team Bravo will conclude with a summary of suggestions for a systems plan to improve management (Smith Services Consulting Inc., 2011). Accounting Systems Riordan Manufacturing currently has six Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) systems throughout four locations. These servers are accessed at the local level by 16 clients (PC’s.) The current challenge to management is the disparate systems and inconsistencies with respect to reporting capabilities and collaboration.

...Strategic Management & Case Analysis Department of Business Administration Sylhet International University, Sylhet Submitted by: Shakhor Ranjan Dash Roll No. 11382 MBA 2-2 Submitting Date : 30.11.2012 Dell Case: Question 1 :: What are the advantages to Dell of having manufacturing sites located where they are? What are the potential disadvantages? Answer: Dell’s manufacturing sites are in Brazil, China, Malaysia, Ireland, and the U.S. Advantages of these locations are that some of them are low cost (Brazil, China, Malaysia and, relatively, Ireland), they have educated work forces that are highly productive, and they are near large regional markets. Dell Case: Question 2 :: Why does Dell purchase most of the components that go into its PC from independent suppliers, as opposed to making more itself? (Does does little more than final assembly of components into PC) Answer: Dell outsources because it enables Dell’s business model to be successful. Dell’s comparative advantage is in pricing, customization and rapid order fulfillment, all advantages gained through supply chain management and logistics. By outsourcing, Dell does not carry risks connected to inventory such as obsolescence, Dell can maintain flexibility in its manufacturing, and Dell has lower coordination costs than if it were vertically integrated, producing its own parts. Outsourcing allows Dell to focus on what it does best. Dell Case: Question 3 :: What...

...Sunday, October 30, 2011 Windows Server Proposal For Worldwide Advertising Inc. Below is a project for my Windows Server Administration Course. This was the first course of the kind I have taken. Let me know what you think. Summary Servers are the backbone of an organization. The implementation and configuration of a server network can determine the prosperity or failure of a business. After reviewing the needs of Worldwide Advertising Inc., I have come up with what I think is the best solution. I will be covering infrastructure server roles such as: DHCP and DNS, which work behind the scenes, to the application servers which give life to your advertising dreams. I have prescribed an active directory schema that will require effortless management. I have proposed a File and Sharing implementation that suites a growing enterprise as well as state of the art data storage. I have also noted some preliminary estimates of scheduling and manpower required for the solution. Deployment and Server Edition Throughout the infrastructure the most advanced server operating system, Windows Server 2008 R2, will be used. Enterprise edition will be leveraged on all servers, because it has 4 virtual licenses per OS. To increase reliability and security Server Core will be on all servers. There will be a total of 10 servers for the Worldwide Advertising Inc. internal network. The majority of the servers will be managed from the Los Angeles main office while four servers...

...Personal Development Plan By Nidhi Shukla | Carlow University EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Combining business school education, professional/personal development training, and self-education along with life experiences has directed me toward beginning a career as a business analyst and later on being an entrepreneur. I have been taking classes and exploring various business opportunities as well. I am an MBA student at Carlow University. I have masters in Physics and English from India and during the course of my graduation, and have also studied various art mediums to explore creative talents. I have decided to combine those strengths and interests into my career path. Now that graduation is closer it is time to formulate and begin executing a plan for the next 5 to 10 years of my life. INTRODUCTION During my education and my career as a high school teacher, I have learnt that leadership is a critical management skill and an ability to motivate a group of people toward a common goal. These items help to develop a person’s skills as a leader. Personal Development Planning is useful in this regard as it is a structured and supported process undertaken by an individual to reflect upon their own learning, performance and/or achievement and to plan for their personal, educational and career development. The benefits of PDP are numerous. PDP processes are designed to improve the capacity of individuals to understand what and how they are learning, and to review, plan and take responsibility...

...Group Assignment 2: Dell- New Horizons (Rangan and Bell) Marketing for Managers Group C: Saturday, 29 June 2013 Summary Could anyone imagine some thirty years ago the global influence a young college freshman would have on the world? Michael Dell’s build your PC to order idea was just that, a game changer. A few years after coming to market, Dell was the 3rd most admired company by fortune magazine. By the early 2000’s Dell like other PC companies began to see a rapid decline in revenue growth. This decline, brought to surface the need to look at diversifying their product and service offerings. These included but are not limited to; is the increase service offerings, expanding into the server and storage space as well as extending their reach globally. Today we will look at the company and how it began, some of their key issues, review a SWOT analysis that will bring us to our decision and why we believe this to be the best path. The Company In 1983, Michael Dell began with a simple strategy of providing PC upgrades to companies who were looking for a more customized PC. After a few years this lead him to a “Buy - Upgrade – Sell” model, where they would purchase IBM computers, upgrade them and then sell them for a profit. By 1985, Dell moved to assembling PC’s through a Build to Order model, this strategy was so successful it provided them with over $70M in sales by the end of the year. The PC’s were produced with a very modular design, so this facilitated...
