...Question:- Think of a recent transaction and/or interaction that you had with any business entity,or a staff of an organization. • Describe your experience from larger to personal context. • How did this influence the outcome of your communication? Answer:- Recently I went to the showroom of TOSHIBA near Uttara in order to buy a laptop. After getting admitted in IBA-JU, I greatly felt the necessity of having a laptop. Moreover, if I consider the larger contexts, then I must say that it is the age of scinece and technology and our economic condition also permits me to do so. So, using a laptop is very much necessary considering the suurrounding culture. Regarding personal contexts, I decided to buy a black colored laptop from TOSHIBA because it has a well reputation in the market. I didn’t have the address of its showrooms but I had an e-mail address. So, I sent an e-mail asking for the address of its showrooms and what types of laptops were available within my financial capacity as I knew that the prices were fixed. Then I got an e-mail from TOSHIBA where all necessary informations were given.But there arised another problem because there was no laptop available within my financial capacity. Those were too much expensive for me. The company also sent some models of netbook which were within my capacity. So, I went to the showroom and the salesmen showed me different models of netbook. I couldn’t decide what to do because still I was thinking...

...Toshiba Summary: In February 2015, a financial watchdog in Japan cautioned the financial community of possible accounting irregularities at Toshiba, so an independent panel was put in place to investigate the watchdog’s claims. In April, Toshiba made public that it was going to restate its profit for fiscal years 2011 through 2013 by at least ¥50B (or $419M) due to accounting irregularities at three units of the company (Power System, Social Infrastructure System and Community Solutions). In July 2015, the independent panel indicated that Toshiba overstated its profits by ¥150B ($1.2B), primarily in its electric power systems business from fiscal years 2009 through fiscal year 2013, plus additional irregularities in Toshiba’s personal computer and semiconductor business. The findings forced Toshiba’s Corp. President Hisao Tanaka and several other executives to step down in July. The accounting scheme may have started around 2008 during the global financial crisis, but it is believed that it deepened after Japan’s March 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disasters because Toshiba supplied two of the reactors affected at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. After this event, Japan shut down the remainder of the nuclear operations at the site, and the demand for nuclear energy around the world was reduced. Toshiba, having a large stake of its business in the nuclear energy production, became affected by the events in 2011, so management at Toshiba set aggressive sales and profit...

...of computers has grown rapidly and it is hard to get a job without having at least a basic knowledge of how they work. There are some professions, though, that use computers a lot more than others. Some of these professions would be grueling without the help of computers. I have chosen three professions and four computers. For the computers, I have chosen the Dell Inspiron Desk Top, the Hp Pavilion Slimline desk top, the Toshiba Satellite Laptop and the Hp Envy laptop. I have chosen author, educator and lawyer as my profession. I will pair the appropriate computer with its profession. An author may seem like they would not need much in the way of computers. Often times they do not even use computers to write, but instead prefer pen and paper. However, the work will have to put into a computer sooner or later. An author probably would not be in need for very much space. Their work will most likely be stored on portable storage devices so that they can transport it agencies. Because of this, I think that a suitable computer for an author would be the Toshiba Satellite laptop. It has memory and hard drive space, just not a lot. It is cheap and would serve its purpose for the author perfectly without having the extra features. Teachers and instructors have a little more of need for space. Again, however, they don’t need a lot. They would have to save their lectures and all their classwork saved on their computers as well as the students’ grades. All of this would indeed take up...

...a poster in Publisher. We also watched many videos about how a poster should be designed and presented. After watching all those videos we came to a conclusion to go with Publisher. At the beginning we practised what we saw in videos and did as it is said in video. As time passes we gained confidence and learnt lot of things in Publisher. We learnt about all the tools and practised each and every tool how it works. Later after gaining knowledge about Publisher we started to design our poster. At first we tried to make a good background for the poster and no one was satisfied with the background what came up with the publisher. We then tried to make a background which was designed by the Toshiba. Even then we faced a difficulty in making that as background. We got a background were we had Toshiba logo in the centre and bigger arrows on each side. We wanted to remove those arrows and leave the background all alone with the Toshiba’s logo. We tried to remove in publisher but we couldn’t do it without disturbing the background texture. So we came to a decision to use Photoshop to remove the arrows alone. We found most of the Photoshop tools are similar to the tools present in publisher so that didn’t bring many difficulties in...

...Coloplast A/S - Annual report 2012/13 Annual report 2012/13 The Coloplast story begins back in 1954. Elise Sørensen is a nurse. Her sister Thora has just had an ostomy operation and is afraid to go out in public, fearing that her stoma might leak. Listening to her sister’s problems, Elise conceives the idea of the world’s first adhesive ostomy bag. Based on Elise’s idea, Aage Louis-Hansen created the ostomy bag. A bag that does not leak, giving Thora – and thousands of people like her – the chance to return to their normal life. A simple solution with great significance. Today, our business includes ostomy care, urology and continence care and wound and skin care. But our way of doing business still follows Elise’s and Aage’s example: we listen, we learn and we respond with products and services that make life easier for people with intimate healthcare needs. Coloplast develops products and services that make life easier for people with very personal and private medical conditions. Working closely with the people who use our products, we create solutions that are sensitive to their special needs. We call this intimate healthcare. Our business includes ostomy care, urology and continence care and wound and skin care. We operate globally and employ more than 8,000 people.

If he uses a computer that is short on the needed speed than he could miss out on a good trading price for oil, electricity, or nuclear fuels. For this job 4 GB of RAM and at least 1 GB of hard drive will suffice just fine. But for up to the second price change you will most likely want a processor speed of 3 Ghz. So for this job you want the Ghz of the Erazer but only need the hard drive and RAM of the Slimline. So I would go with a model type that would have those specifications. Which isn't in the above table. Graphic designer: Graphic design integrates computers in virtually every step of the design process from conception to production and in a range of media including print, video, and web. For graphic design 8 GB or more of RAM is preferred and 750 GB of hard drive capacity. Processor speed is not as important as it is with a Term Trader. So 1.5 Ghz is plenty. Knowing those requirements I would be inclined to use the Toshiba Satellite Notebook. Teacher: A teacher does not need anything above the standard hard drive, RAM, and processor speed. The could get by on 128 MB of RAM...

What problems did the company need to address with JDA’s software? A. To maintain its position as a global industry leader, Toshiba Semiconductor Company implemented JDA's supplier relationship management solution to create, execute and sustain global sourcing strategies by leveraging real-time information via the Internet. Toshiba had a limited ability to obtain real-time information on a global operational basis and would hinder the company’s success if the issue was not addressed. Before JDA, purchasing employees were buying products only locally, and there was no sharing of information among buyers or factories, or among factories and headquarters. Purchasing activities were being conducted separately because no common database existed. 2. Why did the company select JDA as its software vendor? A. Toshiba was looking for a provider that would not only enable it to conduct the operations more efficiently, but which would also enable it to move in a new business direction. Toshiba needed to employ a Web interface with their customers and suppliers in all of their business processes. With that in place, Toshiba could operate on a real-time basis using accurate information, which is very important to them. In that sense, JDA’s technology was very fitting to their goals. 3.

...In April 2015, Toshiba company announced that it had overstated its profits by nearly $2 billion over the past 7 years. Although misstatements are frowned upon in the accounting profession, there must be a reason why the overstatements began. This announcement raises many questions, especially by investors, as to who is responsible? There is definitely a lack of ethical behavior that must is associated with this event and one must analyze the entire situation in order to effectively account for who should be held liable. During 2007, a financial crisis began to emerge in the United States. Home ownership had peaked at 70% and the Federal funds rate had jumped from 1% to 5.25%. This partially explains why no one was interested in buying homes anymore, which led to homes dropping in price. Financial institutions, such as New Century Financial, had to start filing for bankruptcy because a large amount of their borrowers began to default on their loans. Governments worldwide employed unconventional methods to bring the interbank market back on its feet, by providing liquidity support to those financial institutions at risk of going under. Rates continued to be cut by central banks around the world to aid the widespread financial meltdown. But these efforts were not enough. By 2008, different governments worldwide created their own versions of bailout packages and nationalization. I have not been able to find any direct correlation to the 2007-2008 financial crisis and the decision...

...Designing Toshiba’s Notebook Computer Line A Study of Manufacturing Capacity 12/12/2011 MGT 393-03 Introduction We analyzed a Toshiba assembly line plan for a new subnotebook computer. The engineering section manager, Toshihiro Nakamura, wants to make changes to the line process as designed by the engineers. The basic assembly line equipment and space already exist within the Toshiba plant, so the subnotebook assembly process must conform to those preexisting constraints. Specifically, the assembly line is a straight 14.4-meter conveyor system that can accommodate 8 to 12 workers plus one supporter to aid in the assembly process. The employees work at assembling for 7.5 hours a day. The computers are assembled from inventory provided by separate employees. Because it is well managed, there is no concern about supply for the line. Production quantities for the subnotebook computer are to begin at 150 units per day and increase to 250 in a week with the ultimate goal of 300 computers per day. We used a number of analysis calculations in our decision support model to show the capacity and relative efficiency of different iterations of the assembly line. We have also shown a possible solution to the main problem of the case: As the process is designed, it is impossible to attain 300 computers in a 7.5-hour shift using only one line. The decision support model shows one option for how this can be solved with a given set of assumptions. Discussion The decision...

...Case Study Value Stream Mapping Elisha B. Hines-Jones GSCM – 520-68590 Professor Dellroy Birch July 27, 2014 Value Stream Mapping is a visual tool that represents a different stage in the value stream process. In order to create a lean process, one needs to have a full understanding of the business, production processes, material flows and information flows. Understanding the proper flow of the product maximizes value throughout the value mapping stream and will eliminate waste without making major cost error. Value stream mapping is not limited to manufacturing processes but, can be applied to service, logistics, distribution, or virtually any type of process. The Current State We can start by taking a look at the current state of this process starting with the supplier and ending with the customer. ******************************************************************** Discussion Questions 1. Is it possible to achieve zero inventories? Why or why not? In reality, zero inventories are a challenging, if not impossible, goal for most organizations. The concept is theoretical because the ideal production unit is one. Nothing is made until the customer expresses an unmet need for the product. In reality, inventories will always exist due to the timing between the expressed need and the actual delivery of the completed unit(s). Nevertheless, this goal aids in understanding of the lean concepts, and remains a reference point to continually remember in the on-going...

It has taken mobility a step forward by creating products with continuous innovations in this industry has made it imperative that every player keeps pace with changes. Nokia has been one step ahead in anticipating future market moves and strategizing accordingly. Interestingly the company prices its products so competitively that it not only ensures that its margins are covered but also assures revenue maximization. Let us see how Nokia leveraged it segmentation strategies, appealed to various segments with uniquely designed messages and differentiated between its products at every level to communicate and connect effectively with the intended target audience. When Nokia positions its product to the top end segment, it does it as a classy product. To the middle segment customers it is in the form of the best alternative. To the lower end segment, the carrot is that Nokia gives real value, as a high tech product, at low affordable price. The pricing strategy of Nokia can be better understood when the juxtaposed with the skimming strategy and further interposed on Philip Kotler’s nine price/quality strategies model.
