...Chapter 1: Suggested Answers to Application Problems . USAir was very busy analyzing the practices of its competitors-to-be, before it made the move to enter the low-cost commuter airline market. It looks like the efforts included attempts to measure the efficiency of operations and practices on these other airlines. To survive, USAir's MetroJet needs to adopt efficient practices, which will promote low costs. Of course, service must be of sufficient quality as well. The MetroJet team appeared to be "benchmarking" both operations efficiency and service quality in order to enter the market with better chances for survival. Chapter 2: Suggested Answers to Application Problems . These findings could be thought to support the assumption of self-interest. In the case of mandatory airbag use, you might feel safer in your car, which lowers your personal cost of risky driving behaviors - so you drive less cautiously. Unfortunately, in this scenario, you would be discounting the cost to the other driver(s) of your behavior. In the NCAA case, more referees increase the expected cost of committing a foul - so you commit fewer. Incentives can influence behavior! . The expected value of position 1 is the same as that of position 2: $104,000. If you are risk averse, the risk of position 2 lowers the utility you would get from it. Since expected values are equal, you'd prefer position 1. If you are indifferent between position 2 and, say, a risk-free salary of $150,000...

Faculty of Economics and Business Administration: MSc Program Business Administration. Prof. dr. Eduard Kimman course assistant: Karin Tjeerdsma (k.t.tjeerdsma@vu.nl) Background This course, in the setting of various Master Programmes at the Faculty of Economic and Business Sciences, is about the morality of professional people acting in the context of a business organization. Business organizations or organizations as such do have a formal structure in which responsibility ultimately lies with a director or the board of directors. A business organization forms a context for a great variety of decisions. In a juridical perspective the organization is the bearer of numerous transactions. Inside organizations one may find remarkable opportunities for just or unjust behaviour, for moral or immoral behaviour, for situations of equality or inequality which deserve to be evaluated ethically. As FEWEB is a school for the study of economics and business administration in an economic perspective we focus on so-called “economic decisions” which are decisions being taken with some form of economic calculus. In this course we will spend time on questioning whether the economic or financial outcomes of these decisions are morally neutral or deserve some further moral investigation...

The following two sections address the planning process in greater detail with considerable emphasis placed on the project launch meeting and the hierarchical planning process by which parts of the plan are sequentially broken down into finer levels of detail. This provides a natural transition to the creation of the Work Breakdown Structure. Finally, the chapter is concluded with a discussion of multidisciplinary teams including the topics of integration management and concurrent engineering. Cases and Readings Some cases appropriate to the subject of this chapter are: Harvard: 9-692-058 Taco Bell Corp. This 31-page best-selling case describes a project to implement a new strategic plan involving major changes in layout, staffing, quality, product design, and information systems. The coordination and integration of all these project activities is what makes the plan successful, and hard for competitors to imitate.

...dramatically improve the performance of his factory in three months, or the facility will be shut down. Believing that traditional improvement strategies will never make enough difference in such a short time, Alex must resort to more desperate measures. He tracks down an old professor, now working as a consultant, and begs for advice. The advice of this consultant, Jonah, sets Alex and his team, on a journey. Instead of just giving them the answers, Jonah asks them questions, and refuses to give more help until each question has been answered. As Alex learns through this process, so does the reader. Some of the lessons of the book include the following. When you are productive you are accomplishing something in terms of your goals. Every action that brings a company closer to its goal is productive. The goal of a manufacturing organization is to make money. | Because of variability, a factory cannot be run at 100% of capacity. Or, as Jonah says, “the closer you come to a balanced plant, the closer you come to bankruptcy.” | One of the biggest problems in improving your factory is collecting the right data. Alex eventually concludes that “we're going to have to accept the fact that we're not going to have perfect data to work with.” | “An hour lost at the bottleneck is an hour lost for the entire system … The actual cost...

...CHAPTER 1 GLOBALIZATION AND THE MULTINATIONAL FIRM SUGGESTED ANSWERS TO END-OF-CHAPTER QUESTIONS QUESTIONS 1. Why is it important to study international financial management? Answer: We are now living in a world where all the major economic functions, i.e., consumption, production, and investment, are highly globalized. It is thus essential for financial managers to fully understand vital international dimensions of financial management. This global shift is in marked contrast to a situation that existed when the authors of this book were learning finance some twenty years ago. At that time, most professors customarily (and safely, to some extent) ignored international aspects of finance. This mode of operation has become untenable since then. 2. How is international financial management different from domestic financial management? Answer: There are three major dimensions that set apart international finance from domestic finance. They are: 1. foreign exchange and political risks, 2. market imperfections, and 3. expanded opportunity set. 3. Discuss the three major trends that have prevailed in international business during the last two decades. Answer: The 1980s brought a rapid integration of international capital and financial markets. Impetus for globalized financial markets initially came from the governments of major countries that had begun to deregulate their foreign exchange and capital markets. The economic integration and globalization that began in the eighties...

...later revised by Edward Fry in 1977. The original version was created for African teachers who taught English as a second language. After the revision it also included explanations, directions and an extension to the 17th grade level. The Fry readability graph is used to determine the appropriate grade level for a chosen textbook. During this evaluation a total of three passages were used; two passages from the beginning of the text and one passage from the end. After choosing the three different 100 word-count passages, the number of sentences in each passage were counted and then averaged. The syllables in each of the 100 word-count passages were also counted and then averaged. The Flesch-Kincaid grade-level score was the second method used in determining the readability statistics. was formulated with the use of technology. For this report, Microsoft Word 2007 was used to determine the readability statistics. After typing a total of three passages, two from the beginning of the text and one passage from the end of the text, Microsoft Word 2007 automatically displays the readability statistics after checking the grammar and spelling. The third method, created by McLaughlin in 1969 is called the SMOG readability formula, which was derived from another formula FOG. Many tend to use the acronym...
