...Sport and Energy Drinking Division As a result of tight Management Control System, Sport and Energy drinking division is incurring various indirect costs. Those indirect costs are related to Gamesmanship (Creation of Slack resources and Data manipulation), Negative attitude and Behavioral Displacement. Gamesmanship occurs when the action taken by an employee tend to improve his performance without adding significant value to organization. And it consists of two major forms. 1- Creation of Slack resources, when employees consume in excess resources more what is required due to tight result control. For example during budget preparation managers always trying to create slack budget in order to make sure that they will achieve their target. For Sport and Drinking division manger created reserve account in case of emergency that was used in 2008 by taking $ 1.7 million from this account to make sure that the division would hit its Annual operating plan. 2- Data management manipulation, that is related to action taken to change the report results and make them look better. And it can be done through Accounting methods and Operating methods.

...In mid-September of 2010/ Emily Harris, vice president of New Heritage Doll Company's production division, was weighing project proposals for the company's upcoming capital budgeting meetings in October. Two proposals stood out based on their potential to strengthen the division's innovative product lines and drive future growth. However, due to constraints on financial and managerial resources, Harris knew it was possible that the firm's capital budgeting committee would decline to approve both projects. She also knew that New Heritage's licensing and retail divisions would promote compelling projects of their own. Consequently, Harris had to be prepared to recommend one of her projects over the other. The Doll Industry Revenues in the U.S. toy and game industry totaled $42 billion in 2008 and were projected to increase by 4.6% per year to $52.5 billion by 2013. The market was divided into two broad segments: video games (48%) and traditional toys and games (52%). The second segment was further divided into infant/preschool toys (14.5%), dolls (14.1%), outdoor & sports toys (12.3%), and other toys & games (59.1%) including arts and crafts, plush toys, action figures, vehicles, and youth electronics. The U.S. market for toys and games was dominated by large global enterprises that enjoyed economies of scale in design, production, and distribution. Revenues were highly seasonal; the largest selling season in the United States coincided with the winter holiday period...

...the company more than they love the company’s returns. A big airline is most likely to be the competitor. It is very likely that the corporation can introduce a system of short-haul, cheap flights via a standardized fleet with ease. The billions in revenue generated from other divisions can provide the capital required; they can even have the option to operate at a loss for a while. The question, then, turns to one of sustaining this division by attracting customers from companies like Southwest. Besides setting low prices and attempt to maximize efficiency, the question becomes: can the division’s efficiency outstrip that of Southwest’s? As stated, Southwest’s culture inspires employees to work, thus productivity and efficiency increases. This is the key behind the company’s success: fostering culture and turning the results into profit. Can a big company replicate or build the culture? Replication is difficult because usually big wigs are reluctant to change their own culture of following rules to the letter like traditional big companies to an upbeat style of Southwest. Instead of satisfying customers, maximizing shareholder value takes priority and this choice could be detrimental to the divisions’ cause (shareholders may also not be happy at the prospect of operating at a loss); this case has been proved in the form of Continental Lite. When the bosses are fixed in maintaining their company’s own identity culture, I’m not sure that it will work out despite good numbers...

...In my particular role at my job, the roles can be divided by front of house and back office. I mainly do front of house duties and someone else does the back office. When that other individual quit, I had to assume both the front of house and back office roles until someone else was hired. I felt that I knew enough to temporarily take on the back office role and the work had to get done. Even though I knew the main responsibilities of what needed to be done, there were the small things that I wasn’t too in tuned with that I needed to know. Well some of those small things were important because I was not doing specified tasks properly and my manager decided to have a meeting with me to go over everything that was supposed to be done in the back office and to make sure that I knew exactly what was going on step by step. I also had to virtually perform the tasks as well to show that I did comprehend how to do it. I felt that the communication was effective because I was more confident in my abilities to perform job which enabled me to perform better and increase productivity by being able to monitor inventory levels more closely and help the associates out by being able to replenish items that sell faster than others. Of course, replenishing those items means they can continue to be sold to customers which in turn generate revenue for the company which shows why my role is necessary. Helping the associates with products they need is also a necessary step to provide exceptional...

...1. What were the problems facing Luis Morales as he began implementing Ben Fisher's international expansion strategy? * One of the main problems Morales had to face was the individualistic position of each subsidiary. Until then, each subsidiary operated as a decentralized federation, but with few or non-connection with an interconnected global strategy. * The entrepreneurial independence of offshores companies complicated the coordination and integration of activities. Allocating capital became more complex as well. * Historically, manager tried to protect their self-interest instead of cooperate with other subsidiaries. * Conflicts between regional structure of international division and product-based structure of subsidiaries. * Subsidiaries did not collaborate with GBD’s 2. How would you evaluate the organizational changes he made in response to those problems? Why were they unsuccessful? * He took many reactive responses, with no clarity about how to organize the company effectively. He went back and forth from trying to implement centralized hubs and then moving to a decentralized federation model where integrating functions was the focus. * He lost credibility with all the changes that seem not work. Moreover, he did not identify the local competences of the organization and its strategic importance in order to take a more logical decision. 3.

... and clearly describe each one. 1. Numbers involved in both the addition and subtraction of fractions need to have a common denominator in order to be solved, having the smallest common denominator will make the addition and subtraction easier since you would be working with smaller numbers. Example: 2/4 + 3/8, you could multiply the denominators and get 32 or just have 8 as the common denominator either way the final answer have to be the same. 2. Relationship Two: Fractions that are multiplied result in a larger fraction that all too often must be reduced to its smallest form. For example: if you multiply 2/5 by 5/6 it will equal to 10/30, in this case you must simplify it will equal to 1/3. 3. Relationship Three: The division of fractions normally results in an improper fraction this number must then be turned into a mixed number in order to be properly graphed. Example: (2/3)/ (5/8) =16/15, this means there is 1 entire thing plus 1/15 of the thing. 4. Relationship Four: It is easier to divide fractions by charting the solution in order to determine whether or not the solution is correct. Example: (3/5)/ (2/3) = 9/10 5. Relationship Five: Regardless of the size of the denominator the numerator remains small and proportional to the denominator. Example: 15/6 is an improper fraction because the denominator have to be bigger than the numerator. 15/6 is 2½. 6. All fractions must be simplify to the smallest number possible. Example: 3/6= ½, 15/5=...
