...effort to restore its tarnished image. Second, apart from the fact that Lee and Li had no insurance to cover the embezzlement, partners in Taiwan shared unlimited liability. Therefore, lawyers like Paul Hsu, C.V Chen and Kwan-Tao Li were more vulnerable in this situation: they faced the possibility of loosing all of their possessions and professional livelihood. Third, Lee and Li could face bankruptcy and might be forced to close down. Consequently, lawyers and staff working at the firm would lose their jobs and would not be able to provide for their families until they found another job. After being informed about the embezzlement, Lee and Li should take corrective decisions and act quickly to ensure that the firm survives. Since news of the fraud hadn’t made the headlines yet, senior partners should first try to handle the situation internally. In this scenario, it is crucial that they are surrounded by highly-trusted people to help bring the firm back on track. Paul Hsu, Chen and Li should send a trusted person or a third party to Hong Kong in an attempt to find Liu or to see whether the diamonds and the travelers’ checks could be found. The second step should be to empower a team of existing employees to review the firm’s internal control system to determine how Liu could have committed such a crime. Chapter 7 in the textbook,...

...Grand Canyon University EDU450: Canter’s Management-Case Study Zann Melton 5/11/13 Bailey [Pick the date] | Lee Canter developed a theory based on ways to deal with children’s behavior. Canter’s theory consists of a 3 step cycle: (1) Pre-planned schedule, rules, and consequences that students will follow at all times. (2) Supportive feedback for students that follow the rules. (3) Counteractive actions when students decide not to follow rules. Below is a case study following the Canter Behavior Management Cycle: Day 1: In a class of twenty 5th grade students after the teacher completes roll call she goes over the class rules and consequences. The teacher makes sure the students understand the rules and that consequence will follow if the rules are broken. Step 1: verbal warning- or- time out in the hall Step 2: Written letter to parent or a phone call Step 3: 1 to 3 days in ISS (In School Suspension) depending on circumstances Step 4: Discipline referral (go to the principal’s office for further disciplinary action) The teacher also explained to the students that awards will be given to students who follow the rules at the end of the week. Everyday a student does not break a rule they will earn a star by their name. 5 Stars (1) Free homework pass –or- (1) Free game pass on the computers –or- the chance to get a “brown bag” surprise and piece of candy 4 Stars (1) piece of candy 3 Stars (1) smiley face sticker 1-2 Stars...

Many times this step is omitted but it may be the most important step to making a final decision because the neighborhood as a whole is the place which people invest, raise their children and live for many years to come. Making sure to cover all needed steps to buying a home is most crucial for peace and happiness to be united inside and outside the home. When I bought my first home in Georgia in 1998, my husband and I were in a hurry to purchase a home for our family of three. I was in my early twenties and was very inexperienced in buying a new home. After several months of looking at multiple houses which were shown by my cousin who was my real estate agent, my husband and I found the perfect house, a beautiful 1800 square foot home with three bedrooms and two and a half baths. The house was located in a very nice quiet subdivision, and my soon to be home was near the end of a cul-de-sac. My husband and I feel in love with the place at first sight, it had all the options we were looking for along with the upgrades...

However, it still did not answer the bigger problem of matching the demand with the supply. As group 6 said they should be Honoring commitment to customers. Ensuring this is beyond the scope of LP. They should be looking into other solutions such as letting their marketing department negotiate with the customers to lower the number of what was agreed upon or they should take into consideration tying up with partners just to meet the committed number of wires. This is to avoid dissatisfied customers and legal compliations. Let us also take into consideration that Ron Garcia is very new to the company. Although he has toured the entire facility and has met many people in various areas of the operation he does not still know the ins and outs of their company. He is also basing his recommendations on the data that was given to him by Jose Arroyo. Basing on our notes, steps in the MS/OR process, he is already on the third step which is developing the model that works under the stated environmental constraints. I think he will change his model or recommendation if he was given more time to do step 1 and 2. These steps are very crucial as it will determine the results of the succeeding steps. He should...

...ACC 646: Module 6 Case Study Student Name: Short Case 10, page pg 228 : Responses: The first steps I would use would be Document examination, audit, and electronic searches. These steps would allow me to take a look at the numbers behind the purchase to develop an expectation of what the issue could be. It is possible that one vendor really did provide a better or cheaper product and that is reasonable. If you found something adverse to that expectation the next steps would be interviewing the buyers. After finding out their thinking it could be possible you would need to seize their computers or the very least their electronic communications. Short Case 11, page pg 228: Responses: The first step would be to document and exam the process for which the cash collection happens. At that point you will need to interview the people involved. The only other step you could have taken is setting up surveillance cameras in the area where cash collection happens, but that won’t necessarily catch the fraudulent collection of cash. Short Case 13, page pg 228: Responses: 1. When looking at the employee’s computers you need to be aware that he could possibly have some private information on there.

...Case Study - The McKesson Corporation The McKesson Corporation is a distributor of non-durable consumer goods in the USA. A large part of its business is the distribution of prescription and off-the-shelf drugs, toiletries, perfumes and sundries to retail drugstores. In overly simplistic terms, McKesson purchases these goods from the large manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and toiletries, stores them in warehouses, takes orders from drugstores across the USA and then distributes the goods to the stores. This is a low margin and competitive industry. Around 1980 the senior management of McKesson was looking carefully at its corporate strategy. Their view was that competition was largely determined by price and cost and so decided that the key to competitive success was a strategy based on a ruthless efficiency drive. They also decided that IT could help them increase efficiency. At this point in time McKesson used computers for accounting and financial purposes but not for anything else. The organization then proceeded to put its strategy of improving efficiency through an increased use of IT into practice. The steps it took were in the following sequence. Step 1. Stock control in the warehouses was computerized. The aim was to reduce working capital costs by cutting stock levels. Step 2. McKesson computerized the sales/ordering process. This allowed orders received by post or telephone at the warehouses to be entered on a computer, instead of being recorded manually as previously...

...Log 5 - Manual Handling & Lifting Equipment Nearly all profesions involve some form of manual handling wether it be lifting, pulling, pushing or carrying different objects. The document states that 54 million working days are lost each year due to pain, strain and injuries to the back (with more than a third of all over-three-day injuries reported to the health and safety executive every year). The risks associated with manual handling are as follows: - Injuries to the back - Injuries to the shoulders - Injuries to the neck - Injuries to the hands - Injuries to the arms - Injuries to the feet These risks can be caused by any of the following: Moving heavy/awkward loads, lifting in an area where the space the person has to move is restricted or enclosed, carrying loads up and down sets of stairs and finaly if the person lifting moves awkwardly, for example by reaching, stooping or twisting. To best avoid injury when carrying out manual handling activities it is important for empolyers and employyes to follow these steps: Step 1 - Think about all the activities within the workplace which require staff to move materials and decide if the manual handling is actually necessary. For example could trolleys, hoists, chutes, roll cages, lift trucks or any other lifting aids be used to help. Step 2 - If the manual handling can not be avoided then the risks associated with each task must be considered. Step 3 - With regard to the load think about the following: Is...

...such a tragic event. Given the criticality of a quick response, I will make myself available for anything you might need in the next few hours. The next few pages detail my recommendations on your next communications. I have recommended specific groups and messages as well as a targeted order of execution. The first step you must take action on immediately. Goal is for you to get in control of the message going out as well as its tone before the media sets both for you. I believe you have less than an hour to begin executing this plan for it to be effective. Step 1: Speak with News Media on Camera Target Audience: General public, factory workers and their families Goal: Establish the facts with the public. Build a reputation as responsive and sympathetic. Send the message that you will work tirelessly to protect your workers. You will need to communicate directly with the news media via an impromptu informal interview, preferably in front of the factory to show that you are physically at the scene. If you drive an expensive automobile, I would recommend you park out of visibility of the media and walk to the front of the factory. We want the public to see you as humble and sincere, not greedy or wealthy. Include the following facts and statements in your interview: • Timeline and basic details of the explosion • Number of dead workers, number and status of injured • Boiler’s annual inspection status (passed) • An explanation that the...

...I am writing this critique to provide useful information on the degree to which the American Food and Vending’s “Best Practices for Controlling Food Costs” conveyed the basic requirements for controlling food costs to its front-line operations managers. Throughout this critique, I will explain in chronological order to what extent does this program adequately cover the relevant information on controlling food costs, to what extent will the design of the program facilitate the stated objectives, and based on my analysis of the content and design- what are the key changes I would make to this program. Through my own knowledge of controlling food costs, lectures, and outside readings I will compile a practical critique that digs deep into the American Food and Vending’s program. * To what extent does this program adequately cover the relevant information on controlling food costs? * The program covers controlling food costs extensively, and does adequately cover a large range of information; however, the information seems somewhat generic and does not go into specific detail on how exactly the company specifically lowers its food costs. * To what extent will the design of the program facilitate the stated objectives? * The program highlights its objectives upfront, unpacks each step of the Eight-Step Model, and goes into detail about each objective. The design of the program allows the reader to clearly see the company’s stated objectives, and then learn...

Step 2: Perform the appropriate analysis and evaluation. -To get a good mark on this assignment, Ashley and Jessica must critically evaluate secondary research. To do this they must (1) evaluate resources, (2) develop effective search strategies, and (3) identify proprietary resources. -To do well on their assignment, the students must do the following: 1. They need to be critical of all the resources and information they use. In particular, they need to minimize their use of the Web, and instead use databases available through their university to gather information. For example, they could access the Wall-Street Journal available online through most universities to show a need for their product (people feeling increasingly unsafe, rising crime against older people, aging population, etc.). They could also use ProQuest ABI Inform Global to find relevant academic and practitioner business articles. 2. They must cite all sources properly. If they don’t, they might accidentally commit plagiarism, and at minimum, fail this assignment. 3. Make good...

...Social Media Responsibilities Jana Keeley Hum/186 June 05, 2012 Tanny Rodriguez Responsibilities of news media include providing the society a truthful, objectives and balanced news and information while respecting the secrecy of issues related to national security. Known tasks of journalists in the entertainment media are In the social responsibility theory of the press, the media is driven to benefit the public. It expects journalists to answer society's need for truth, requires an open and diverse debate on public issues, and honest updates of current events. In this model, media ethics is automatic because the press is free to serve its purpose for the public, as opposed to special interest groups or advertisers( referenced below). Another condition of the social responsibility model, is that news reporting cannot be dependent on groups that may encourage bias and unethical practices in exchange for financial support catchy headlines which directly affect civilians. The public learns about government and politics primarily through television and nationwide newspapers. The media has a choice of which stories to cover. Recent studies prove the exposures can have a sizeable impact in shaping the public’s view on politics. Media coverage shapes attitudes and behaviors related to judging ones capabilities of running for office. It’s a known fact that citizens often times seek out information that agrees with their pre-existing views. People will relate with a politician...

...Blogging is a resource used to discuss, share, and evaluate various news and topics. It is not a replacement for traditional media, so it is not, and should not be held to traditional journalism code. However, blogging should have its own ethical code and rules so it can continue to thrive and be viewed as a credible source of information and valuable discussion. Copyright infringement is the number one ethical and legal issue on the internet. It is important that bloggers protect themselves from committing this crime. It is okay to use copyrighed material for certain purposes such as: teaching, research, and news reporting. However, one must use caution when posting pictures and text messages from other people in blogs. Using the work of others without permission is equivalent to stealing a photo album or journal from your next door neighbor. Just because you may not sell it to make a profit, does not benign the fact that the material was stolen. Bloggers must become educated about copyright infringement and fair use. When unsure whether they are committing copyright infringement, they should refrain from using copyrighted material. Although it is common knowledge that blogs are the opinions and points of view from various people, bloggers themselves should not deliberately spread false information. Furthermore, the opinions in blogs should always be easily identified, as well as the facts. Bloggers may not have the responsibilities of journalists, but they have the responsibility...
