... Course Objectives This course emphasizes the use of accounting information for internal purposes, as opposed to the external disclosure focus of the financial accounting courses. We cover the vocabulary and mechanics of cost accounting and the design of management accounting systems for planning and controlling operations, and for motivating personnel. The course integrates accounting with ideas from data analysis, decision analysis, finance, microeconomics, and operations management. The themes stressed throughout the course are: the notion that information is costly; the circumstances that necessitate cost allocation, and the idea that different costs and different allocation schemes apply for different purposes; and the fundamentals of incentive and compensation plans. Among the topics covered are cost behavior, cost-volume analysis, relevant costs, and the use of cost information for decision-making. II. Course Materials Required Text: “Cost Accounting: A Managerial Emphasis” by Horngren, Datar, and Rajan, 14th edition (2012), published by Prentice Hall. Note: you do not need to purchase the version of the text that is bundled with the My Accounting Lab website license Various course materials, including lecture PowerPoint slides, will be posted on our course’s ANGEL site.

...Sections 1-4 are to be completed by the student; Sections 5 / 6 are to be completed by the tutor / supervisor. Section 1 Briefly outline your research questions or aims I observed in my bi-lingual kindergarten classroom that students are not aware of the significance of literacy skills. Students do not show an understanding of a constructed writing lesson and cannot relate what is being learned to everyday life. Therefore I believe that young children’s understanding of literacy as meaningful and purposeful, and not merely an abstract skill to be learned, is a critically important part of learning to communicate, read and write. For my case study I have decided to look at the following questions and observe these through different role play and teacher lead activities in the classroom. What types of scaffolding techniques enhances emergent literacy skills in a bi lingual environment? How can a positive attitude towards writing be encouraged? Section 2 Briefly outline your proposed methods and sites of data generation and your proposed methods of sampling During this case study project participants will be expected to answer a series of questions about their feelings and understanding of literacy. Participants will also be expected to take part in role play activities and literacy exercises during the course of the study. During the study, participants will also be asked to complete and partake in specific writing exercises. At the end of the study participants will be asked...

...Diversity In Organizations: Disability. Disability can be descibed as a person who has a physical or mental condition that limits their movements, senses, or activities. We use the terms 'mental' and 'physical' to describe disabilities. This definition is very broad though, and we will look at how organizations integrate people affected by disabilities in their organizations. In Ireland, The Disability Act 2005, aimed to persuade public and private compnaies to be proactive about employing people with disabilities within their organizations. In Taiwan, The People With Disabilities Rights Protection Act 2007, staetes that disabled people must comprise at least 1% of the work force at private organizations, and at least 3% of government offices over a certain size (67 employees), including public schools and state-owned enterprises. In The U.S., the Americans With Disabilities Act ADA, was introduced in 1990. The ADA immediately led to a surge in the amount of people classified as disabled joining the workforce. The ADA states that employers must mate 'reasonable accommodations' to their working environments for people with disabilities. It can be hard to measure the the relationship between disability and employment because the definiton of disabled is so broad. Just think of certain neurological disorders that are impossible to notice at a glance, like depression, addiction, or other personality disorders. The Equal Employment Commission in the US uses 'physical or mental...

... BSEO 2531 is to be a different experience for our MBA students. Most of your previous student experience has been focused on models and techniques that are typically applied in large organizations. BSEO 2531 will focus on a different aspect of the business environment--entrepreneurship. Consequently, this course will be structured differently than most other courses. Part of the course will involve the use of conventional case analysis, discussions and lectures. In addition, there will be guest speakers, time permitting. There are multiple objectives for the Entrepreneurship elective, including: 1. Understanding the process of New Venture Formulation 2. Studying the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs 3. Process and structure of business plan development 4. Understanding sources and methods of financing new business ventures 5. Opportunities to apply functional skill (marketing, finance, accounting, etc.) 6. Networking in the Pittsburgh entrepreneurial community The focus of the class will be the development of a business plan for a new venture; the final plan should be suitable for presentation to a venture capitalist or other initial funding source. The business plan will be a group project. By the end of the second class you will have formed venture teams. Four to six members seem to be the optimal group size. The plans will be developed in a three-part sequence 1. A summary of your...

(Textbook) The FICA “tax is a United States federal payroll (or employment) tax imposed on both employees and employers to fund Social Security and Medicare —federal programs that provide benefits for retirees, the disabled, and children of deceased workers.” (Wikipedia) This act requires “12.4% of earned income up to an annual limit must be paid into Social Security, and an additional 2.9% must be paid into Medicare. That limit is $113,700 for 2013.” There is a cap for Social Security tax, but for Medicare taxes there is not an earned income limit. Therefore, if you do not have to pay the social security tax, you are still responsible for the Medicare tax. “If you're...
