...Benihana of Tokyo Some restaurateurs like myself have more fun than others, says Hiroaki (Rocky) Aoki, youthful president of Benihana of Tokyo. Between 1964, when he opened his first location, and 1972 he had gone from deficit net worth to being president of a chain of 15 restaurants that grossed over $12 million per year. Background By 1972 Benihana was basically a steakhouse with a difference--the food was cooked in front of the customer by Japanese chefs, and the decor was that of an authentically detailed Japanese country inn. From a humble 40-seat unit opened in midtown Manhattan in 1964, Benihana had grown to a chain of 15 units across the country. Nine were company-owned locations: New York (3); San Francisco; Chicago; Encino and Marina del Rey, California; Portland, Oregon; and Honolulu. Five were franchised: Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Beverly Hills, Seattle, and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The last unit, Las Vegas, was operated as a joint venture with Hilton Hotels Corporation. Rocky, who was a former Olympic wrestler, described his success as follows: In 1959, I came to the United States on a tour with my university wrestling team. I was 20 at the time. When I reached New York, it was love at first sight! I was convinced that there were more opportunities for me in America than Japan. I decided to enroll in the School of Restaurant Management at City College basically because I knew that in the restaurant business I’d never go hungry. I earned money those...

...Understanding Self-Knowledge and Evaluating Understanding xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Grand Canyon University July 14, 2007 Understanding Self-Knowledge and Evaluating Understanding The purpose of this paper is to identify, describe, and critique personal views on the place of understanding self-knowledge from the point of view of both the teacher and the student. The paper will also provide an evaluation of the sequence and organization of instruction that was used during at least two teaching assignments (units). The focus of this evaluation will be toward the effectiveness of the sequence and organization in accomplishing the desired understanding expected from students. To allay the purpose of the paper, criteria from Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe’s (2005) “backward design” will serve as a background for much of the information included in the paper. According to Wiggins and McTighe (2005), self-knowledge is “the wisdom to know one’s ignorance and how one’s patterns of thought and action inform as well as prejudice understanding” (p. 100). In consideration of today’s teaching milieu, it is possible that there are far too many instructors who are not familiar with the positive academic gains that they could bestow upon their students by paying attention to criteria that warns against instruction is devoid of any understanding, appreciation or acknowledgement of students’ self-knowledge. One of the greatest teachers and philosophers of Western thought, Socrates (Wiggins...

...Operations Management Assignment # 2 Case no 1 The Central Evaluation Unit * Question: Create a Process Map of the new applications * * No No yes yes Question: Calculate the cycle time of the new process We know the unit operated 5 days/35 hours per week = 7 hours per day and Turnaround of 1 application (from receipt of the application to the applicant being informed) = 36 days. So, the Throughput time: 36days x 7hours/day = 252 hours and Work in Process: 600 applications (in receipt tray) + 220(in checkers tray) + 130(code tray) + 130(secretary’s tray) + 130(auditor’s tray) = 1210 application. So, the cycle time is 252 hours / 1210 applications = 0.208hours which is equal to 12 min and 29 seconds. Question: Explain why it is difficult to locate an individual file Information of each application is being coded into the information system only once during the entire process and it was not being updated with the current status of application because all the other process was done manually. So in order to find an individual file they need to check through five different departments. * Problems: * Feedback was poor * Risk was involved * Time was being taken in order to give final answers * Declining of five percent in number of application received * Employees were not motivated * Collect missed information Question: What suggestions would you make to Veronique to improve her process? The process should be computerized...

...information on specific organizational features, based on personal interviews and obervations. They also examined the organizational mission statements, records, rules, regulations and policies in order to gain information about the unit’s structure. Since Erica was a former student manager at the dining unit couple of years ago, she took over the interviews with the employees because it was easier for them to speak with a familiar face than a complete stranger. But here the question arises of whether or not she is going to be objective or bias. Their data collection process begins with interviews with those from whom data will be collected. The problem with the interviews was that they were not structured, there were different questions asked to each employee and there is no means of any comparison whatsoever. The OD consultants in this case went in the organization with open-ended questions, which was a problem with the data collection. The process of data gathering is inefficient. How should the feedback session be designed? First of all the OD consultants have to ask themselves whats the point of giving Drew any feedback whatsoever when he is leaving the unit within five months. Even so, the feedback section should be designed in terms of importance. The design should contain specificity, timeliness, and manner. The OD consultants should start with identifying the biggest problems within the organization. The structure - The structure of the organization contributed to...

...productivity assumption is a foundation inside the study of feature markets and the input side of short-run creation. It sheds insight into the order for factors of construction based on the vision that a profit-maximizing business hires inputs based on a judgment connecting the productivity of the input and the price of the input. The rule of Diminishing Marginal proceeds a vital code fundamental marginal-productivity presumption is the rule of diminishing marginal takings. This rule says that as added units of a variable input are extra to a set input, ultimately the marginal result of the variable input decreases. This code is a vital part of short-run assembly study, which offers insight into the positively-sloped marginal price bend plus the rule of supply. The rule of diminishing marginal proceeds also plays a huge part in the demand for an input. It goes similar to this: As additional of an input is in use, marginal production declines. Since every unit is a smaller amount productive and generates fewer profits, the business is prone to disburse a smaller amount to use the input. As such, an inverse relation exists...

...Humans live in a world where geographic boundaries cease to exist when it comes to goods, services, and even food. Most people think nothing of having freshly squeezed orange juice or kiwis for breakfast, even those who live in New York City with 10-inches of snow on the ground in the middle of January. In this age and time everything and anything is available for consumption year-round at the local grocery store. Although it may be an “unintended consequence,” these conveniences can come with potentially major ecological and economic impacts that are both positive and negative. For example, the coffee you drink may come from beans imported from Columbia, the sugar you use may come from India, or the steaks you sear on the grill may have come from Argentina. How much fuel was spent transporting these products across the ocean? Were any pesticides used? If so, was it done in a sustainable fashion? Were forests cleared to make room for grazing herds or larger agricultural fields? These are just a few of the many questions that should be considered when making selections at the grocery store. Explore the following resources in the Kaplan Library, along with the link from the United States Department of Agriculture, to learn more about the foods humans rely on and the variety of ways in which these foods can be acquired.

...Upon contact, I observed signs of possible criminal activity and detected the odor of Marihuana. I located twenty-five fraudulent credit cards in the driver’s name and fifty gift cards each with a fifty dollar balance. I was able to call the number on the back of one of the credit cards to verify the card was fraudulent. I later entered the card numbers into BINLIST (WHAT IS THIS?) and the card Bin number did not match the banking entity on the card. I called the locations where each gift card was purchased and was able to determine the credit card number used to purchase them. A few days later, I met with DPS CID and FBI Agents to explain the case dynamics. This subject had been embossing his name onto blank cards, stealing card numbers, and buying gift cards with the fraudulent credit cards. He then would be in possession of a loaded gift card once...
