...TEAM CONTRACT: ___________________________(Group Number) Objective: To develop the roles and responsibilities of individuals and the team to support the management of your team throughout the semester. Background: Your team will be responsible for completing a team project this semester which requires developing and doing a major fundraising event along with 2 presentations and a final report. Each student will be entering in a performance contract with your team members. This document outlines this contract and provides a means for managing your team performance. To develop this team contract team members will need to negotiate team expectations by developing a shared understanding of how your team will be expected to function. To be effective, all members must explicitly agree to a set of norms for team behavior and procedures to address behaviors that fall outside the norms. Without a shared understanding, some members’ expectations may not be met, leading them to become disillusioned and de-motivated. As a result, team effectiveness will likely be diminished. Work teams often run into problems such as, members “free-riding,” failing to show up for or being late for meetings, failing to complete work, submitting work late, submitting work that doesn’t meet other members’ quality standards, and failing to communicate enough or appropriately in and outside of meetings. If/when you encounter these type of problems down the road, you will use the contract...

...Economic impact approaches Page #1 Approaches to Estimating the Economic Impacts of Tourism; Some Examples Daniel J. Stynes Updated January 1999 Introduction The purpose of this bulletin is to present examples of different approaches to estimating the economic impacts of tourism. In a previous bulletin (Stynes 1997), I summarize economic impact concepts and methods as they apply to tourism. Here we apply the methods to illustrative cases in order to demonstrate some practical approaches. Three specific examples are presented. These represent a range of alternatives for estimating the economic impacts of visitor spending. The techniques covered range from methods based largely on judgement, to methods that utilize secondary spending data and published multipliers, to the use of visitor surveys and input-output models. A third bulletin in this series discusses survey methods for measuring visitor spending and includes sample spending instruments. While the construction and operation of tourist facilities also has economic impacts, we will restrict our attention here to the impacts of visitor spending. Review of Basic Approach and Levels of Analysis The economic impact of visitor spending is typically estimated by some variation of the following simple equation: Economic Impact of Tourist Spending = Number of Tourists * Average Spending per Visitor * Multiplier This equation suggests three distinct steps and corresponding measurements or models: (1) Estimate the change...

...NCAA Football And The Possible Realignment of The Teams into Super Conferences Mergers and Acquisitions Anthony Pranger October 2011 Introduction: NCAA football is a wonderful and exciting sport, of which I basically know the rules and enjoy watching when I have the time. To be perfectly honest though, this is not a topic that I know much about when it comes to the rankings, divisions and how they determine who will play against who in the upcoming season. Since I lack in knowledge regarding this topic and am not one to back down from a challenge, I have decided to run forward and tackle the topic and research college football, and the inner workings of the sport. This will give me the opportunity to learn more than just accounting and business principles while attaining my master’s degree. First things first, I feel a good description of the sport and its foundation is in order. This will really help put things in perspective, so that I can charge forward and score a touchdown with this paper. NCAA football is also known as College football or pigskin football. Each team is a college (university) and they compete in divisions. The division that has the best teams is called the Division IA and is divided in too many different conferences. The players are amateurs (they do not get paid to play) but they do receive a college scholarship. Each football team can offer a free education to 85 players. College football is all but clear because it does not...
