...the “T-Square” method simply because it makes it easier for me to move through the chapters of my textbook and still obtain the knowledge and information I need to complete my course work in a timely fashion and accurately. T-Square gets you through the chapter without feeling as if you missed something, gets you thinking by asking the questions and in the end give you a great study sheet to work from. The system is set up to assist you with learning what’s in the chapter without actually having to read the entire chapter. The steps are as follows: T - Title, what’s involved in the chapter, doing a quick run through to get a feel for information that is in the chapter S - Summary, read the summary and the introduction of the chapter first as these usually have the most important facts of the chapter listed. This keeps me from having to read word for word but still absorbing the information needed. Q - Questions, read and go over the end of the chapter questions this way you know what you’re looking for throughout the context of the chapter. U - Unusual, review pictures, charts and graphs as they are put in a chapter for a reason they are very helpful. A - Ask, take the headings and bold print to generate questions. R - Read, skim/read through chapter to locate answers to your questions E - Examine, go over the “need to know list” add anything additional information to finish your study sheet. Some strengths...

...In this appeal, we address the validity of a contempt order issued by the Circuit Court for Baltimore County imposing sanctions upon Kearay Miller (“Miller”), appellant, for disruptions to a sentencing hearing caused by Miller’s cell phone. On appeal, Miller raises two questions for our review, which we have reordered and rephrased slightly as follows: 1. Whether the circuit court erred in holding Miller in direct criminal contempt when his cell phone rang during his brother’s sentencing hearing. 2. Whether the Court of Special Appeals should reduce Miller’s sentence for direct criminal contempt. For the reasons set forth herein, we shall reverse the judgment of the Circuit Court for Baltimore County. Because we answer Miller’s first question in the affirmative, we...

...Short Case Memo TO: Alfonso & Leo, SEL FROM: Me, CGA DATE: March 25, 2015 RE: Recommendations for Accounting Software and IPO Steps As per previous discussions, as SEL continues to grow, we need to look into how it can gain a competitive edge in its market by gaining control of the financial activities of the company. With this growth, it needs to consider how to raise additional capital and how to manage the increase in employees and accounting transactions. Over the last 4 years, SEL has grown its business by 25% in total revenue. There are currently enterprise risks and issues that SEL faces due to the lack of planning, organizing, leading and controlling of its financial activities. As SEL is about to obtain a significant contract over a five-year period, it needs to gain control and put processes to operate effectively and efficiently. There are currently some weaknesses in SEL’s financial accounting and reporting system. The part time accountant with only basic accounting experience doesn’t allow SEL to have proper financial analysis or forecasting and it could cause potential accounting gaps, such as not knowing how to properly account for foreign exchange risk. With the part time accountant doing all the accounting tasks, there is no segregation of duties, proper review or approval processes in place. By not analyzing the finances or preparing forecasts, it is not allowing SEL to see where it stands financially and it doesn’t allow for proper budgeting...

Review what is known about the competitive landscape to understand factors in the external environment that may be a source of competitive advantage.

... Dr. Jonathan Freeman HIGH INVOLVEMENT- High involvement purchases are those which are important to consumers such as complex, expensive, risky or ego-intensive products & require extensive information processing. For this reason I chose Weider workout equipment. I’ve been building my own gym now for about 2 years and I would like to think I had a pretty good selection of workout equipment. I chose Weider because every time I step into a gym the majority of weight and weight equipment I see is Weider. Apparently they make a pretty good product. Academy and Pre-owned Fitness equipment are the 2 places I go to purchase the free weights and dumbbells that I have. To me it is a very big decision making process, I say that because I try to get dumbbells every 2 sizes up from where I am lifting to that point. Currently I’m up to the 110lbs dumbbells. I use the dumbbells for a number of exercises like dumbbell press, Arnolds, shoulder press, flys, rows, etc. I also have around 500lbs in plates form the 45’s all the way to the 2.5’s. All the free weight are the equipment that I didn’t feel the need to be picky about because they are basically all the same. As long as the fit on the Olympic 45lb bar that I...

...are all similarly qualified. I know personally one of the candidates, his family and how the family worked to pay for his schooling. This candidate’s father has asked me to hire his son. I have asked the assistant fire chief to conduct a second interview with he and I well prepared to differentiate the similar candidates. The second interview session was telling. The candidate’s dress, attitude, community involvement, variety of experience and even additional skills made one candidate stand out above the others as excellent. All 3 would have made a good choice and I was comfortable hiring any 1 of them but the second interview revealed that a particular candidate was clearly the best. I conducted additional research about differentiating similar candidates to help make my decision. BSM304 Role Play #2 I am the chief of a fire department.

... | |Course website: |blackboard.sc.edu | The objective of this course is deepen your understanding of the many issues faced by firms as they identify valuable investment opportunities, raise funds for those investment opportunities, distribute profits to share-holders and debt-holders and deal with the consequences of both good and bad investment financing decisions. We will expand on the concepts that you have learned in FINA 760 or in DMSB 715. Class time will be divided between lectures and case studies. My lectures will briefly review concepts from prior courses. The bulk of my lectures will present advanced material that will be new to you. It is assumed that you understand the concepts from your earlier finance and accounting courses. If not, it is your responsibility to review. In order to reduce your note-taking, my lecture notes will be available on the class web-site in PowerPoint format. I suspect that you will have difficulty paying attention for a full 2.5 hours some days. Thus, I intend to supplement live lectures with recorded lectures on a case-by-case basis. Recorded material can be viewed at your leisure when you are fresh and attentive. In addition to lectures, we will spend a significant amount of time analyzing...

...An Analysis of the Utilization of Under-Utilized Hotel Rooms Inventory as Executive Serviced Office Space Jeffrey R. Victor, CHA, CHE, CHS, CMP Fairleigh Dickinson University Author Note Correspondence concerning this paper should be addressed to: Jeffrey R. Victor, CHA, CHE, CHS, CMP Fairleigh Dickinson University, Madison, NJ 07940. Contact: jvictor@jeffreyvictor.com Analysis of Repurposing Underutilized Hotel Rooms Inventory as Executive Office Space 1 Abstract When hotels are built, the number of rooms built into inventory becomes a static item. Due to the physical nature of construction, the number of rooms become an inflexible and perishable commodity. In looking at the growing nature of the Executive or Serviced Office industry and the similarities between their product and a hotel’s offerings, it has been theorized that there are revenue opportunities in deploying a serviced office product in pre-existing hotels. Through an analysis of industry trends, demand for offices, product needs and revenue opportunity, a financial model has been developed. After reading this paper, the reader will be able to understand what a serviced executive office is, the similarities between that product and a hotel product and understand how to analyze revenue to determine the financial impact of repurposing a number of rooms as executive offices. They will then be able to utilize the model contained herein to determine if repurposing rooms in such a manner...

...Proposal for Online Business Expansion Titan Towing Company has been growing slow since it has launched its business in 2000. The towing market is competitive as there are already established towing companies within the city. Currently Titan Towing makes the majority of its business with direct calls for vehicle tows or roadside assistance. Titan Towing does not hold any city contracts. Titan Towing Company has not put too much money into an advertising budget. Currently Titan is found in the phone book or seeing their trucks around town. Being a small fleet, however, does not contribute too many leads. Titan Towing does have some minimal online presence such as listed in the business registries for major search engines. Bing, Yahoo!, and Google have Titan registered. Titan also has a google site, which lists their main office location, contact information, and hours. As mentioned earlier, Titan does not currently hold city or business contracts to increase revenue. The current revenue is entirely dependent on roadside assistance calls and customer requested tows. Gross profit averages to $500,000 annually. The drivers work on commission and require being on call off hours. With maintenance costs, dispatch, and yard staff, there are not a lot of funds for growth unless the company can expand and increase the daily business. It is my recommendation to expand the online presence for Titan Towing Company...

...what their learning style might be? What are the strategies for their learning style can a person learn best? One method to find one's learning style is by using the VARK learning tool. VARK was developed in 1987 by Neil Fleming to find the way that different people learn best (Fleming, 2011). VARK is an acronym that stands for the different learning styles visual, aural, reading/writing and kinesthetic (Fleming, 2011). One can go to the VARK website and fill out a questionnaire that will then provide a person with a profile of their learning approach based on the way they answered the questions (Fleming, 2011). Once a person has determined their learning style they would be able to find a list of different learning strategies that might work for them. Visual learners have a better time learning with graphical representations as in flowcharts with step-by-step direction (Bastable, 2008). Aural learners can learn best by listening to lectures, often they might need directions read aloud and prefer to discuss topics in class or study groups (Bastable, 2008). Read/write learners like to review written information, by reading or writing with references to additional sources of information (Bastable, 2008). Kinesthetic learners enjoy learning by doing hands-on activities such as role playing and/or demonstrations (Bastable, 2008). Not many people learn by only incorporating one form. The questionnaire gives all four scores so that a person can see areas that they are the strongest...
