... CASE STUDY [pic] NAME : TANMAY MEHTA COURSE : MBA TECH BRANCH : TELECOM ROLL NO : 527 PREFACE The acronym MPEG stands for Moving Picture Expert Group, which worked to generate the specifications under ISO, the International Organization for Standardization and IEC, the International Electrotechnical Commission. What is commonly referred to as "MPEG video" actually consists at the present time of two finalized standards, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, with a third standard, MPEG-4, in the process of being finalized . The MPEG-1 & -2 standards are similar in basic concepts. They both are based on motion compensated block-based transform coding techniques, while MPEG-4 deviates from these more traditional approaches in its usage of software image construct descriptors, for target bit-rates in the very low range, < 64Kb/sec. Because MPEG-1 & -2 are finalized standards and are both presently being utilized in a large number of applications, this case study concentrates on compression techniques relating only to these two standards. MPEG 3- it was originally anticipated that this standard would refer to HDTV applications, but it was found that minor extensions to the MPEG-2 standard would suffice for this higher bit-rate, higher resolution application, so work on a separate MPEG-3 standard was abandoned.

Whether we are talking about marketing information, cost projections, accounting results, or internal quality reports, every company depends on knowledge to support its planning, decision-making, and control. So how does knowledge fit into the picture? The emergence of the field called knowledge management has highlighted some key propositions in the last 10 years or so. All organizations are storehouses of knowledge that operate in information-rich environments made up of people and things both inside and outside the organization itself Organizations organize, interpret, and evaluate this information to solve organizational problems Knowledge is the primary mechanism for processing and utilizing information People's brains are the key knowledge resource of any organization Codified knowledge stored in books, audio, videotapes, and computer systems can be an important knowledge resource as well There are organizational processes and strategies for IT management and management in general. Therefore, processes and strategies in particular can significantly enhance the ability of organizations to...

...discussing “case” materials in light of theoretical arguments advanced in “readings.” Case materials include standard Harvard Business School cases, book chapters about individuals (Robert Moses and Henry Kissinger), corporations (e.g., Lehman Brothers and Time Warner), and industries (e.g., the auto industry), and in-class videos (e.g., a “Bill Moyer’s Journal” segment on David Rockefeller). COURSE REQUIREMENTS Final course grades will be based on student performance on three written assignments and on student participation in class discussions. Written Assignments. Each student will be expected to submit two individual case analyses that indicate what the student learned from reading and discussing the case in question. The case analyses should be one single spaced typewritten page long and should be submitted the week after the case that they address is discussed in class. Individual case analyses will be graded on a scale from 1-3 and together will comprise 10% of a student’s final grade. Each student should also form a group with three to four other students to complete a case study of a real organization. The research for this case study can be carried out using primary sources (e.g., participation observation and/or interviews) or secondary sources (e.g., books, articles, or prepared cases about a target organization). Thus, group members need not have worked in an organization to use it as the subject of their final case analysis. Other case analysis...

...Video Case 1: Original Penguin Becomes a Learning Organization Questions: 1. As the organization has grown from just three employees, Chris Kolbe has had to delegate more decisions to others. How important is this transition to Original Penguin’s success as a learning organization? Explain. - It is important to delegate more decisions to others because the free flow of information is the key to the rejuvenation of Original Penguin. This is to make sure that communication with the team is at its highest peak; thus, it must be clear to every employee the goals and needs of the company. 2. Do you think Kolbe views knowledge among his employees as an important resource? Why or why not? - Yes, because Kolbe relies on the collaboration and communication among his team members. Kolbe firmly believes in empowering employees with freedom and resources to initiate their own ideas, make their own decisions, and perform their best. Kolbe also stated that “If you have a team, you have to give ownership of what they do.” He views knowledge among his employees as an important resource because he makes them feel comfortable and secure and make them feel that he wanted them. 3. What steps might Original Penguin as a company take ensure the satisfaction of its employees? - The company must give credits to the accomplishments of the employees by acknowledging their efforts and by giving them rewards or something. The free flow of ideas must still be there and respect and...

...Fight Viral with Viral: A Case Study of Domino’s Pizza’s Crisis Communication Strategies Domino’s Pizza was embroiled in a viral crisis situation when two rogue employees posted videos of adulterated food on YouTube in April 2009. Tim McIntyre, Vice President of Communications, was part of the internal team that delivered the company’s crisis communication plan through Twitter and YouTube. What makes this story so compelling is the social media aspect of both the crisis itself and the strategy for managing the crisis. The interesting challenge was Domino’s decision to integrate the same medium that sparked the crisis into the strategies to manage the situation, and the efficacy of best practices and principles of crisis management in the age of social media. Overview and Background The way in which companies communicate with stakeholders during a crisis event is rapidly changing with the 24-hour access provided by the Internet, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Public relations practitioners and other communication executives are struggling to craft messages and maintain control of the flow of messages within this dynamic landscape. As Schiller explains, in “times of crisis, while corporate communication executives are preparing manicured statements, customers are [simultaneously] blogging, e-mailing and posting photos out of rage and desperation because the very people who should be listening to them aren’t” .. Bell asserts that stakeholders become “interpretive communities...
