Risk Management Analysis Project Spring 2016This assignment cons.docx
Risk Management Analysis Project Spring 2016
This assignment consists of an analysis of a company that you select and a written report of your findings and recommendation. The objective of this project is to identify and analyze a buisness’ risk exposures and help assess how the firm should handle those exposures. This analysis should help students
a) understand the steps in the risk management process
b) identify risks that are inherent to many small businesses
c) explain the possible tools that may be used in risk management
d) identify various classifications of risk
e) examine how risk imposes significant economic losses upon the business or individuals affected by the business
f) learn how to construct a professional report that could be presented in a business setting.
To complete this project, students will select a small business, interview the owner or a representative of the business, conduct an on-site analysis of the business, present findings to class, and complete an executive report containing the information below. The project should be completed and presented as if you are the risk manager presenting your report to the board of directors or to the owner of the company.
Steps to complete this project:
1. Select a local small business and ask the owner or manager if you may perform a risk management analysis on its exposures. Please let them know that you will not ask for confidential information and that this project will be used only for a course project. You may offer to change the name of the company if that makes the owner more comfortable. Be sure it is a company to which you have access. Often students select a company for which they work or one for which they know the owner or manager personally. You will need to confirm the name of the company that you have selected on the date noted on the syllabus.
2. Follow the steps of the risk management process (these start on Page 1.33 of your text, with a list on page 1.35.), including:
a. Make a list of the risk management identification tools you can use to identify the exposures that the firm faces. You will need to use at least four of these identification tools in your analysis. These tools are discussed in Chapter 2 of your text.
b. Make a list of all of the information that you would like to get from the company owner or manager when you go for your interview and physical inspection. This step is your roadmap for completing the analysis.
c. List everything that you will need to complete your report, such as pictures, surrounding businesses, ownership structure, key customers or suppliers, etc.
d. You will want to write a brief questionnaire. The questionnaire as well as the answers you will get from your contact person will be included in your final report.
3. Describe the four key loss exposures from each of the four Risk Management areas (discussed in Chapter 1 of your text). You will have a total of 16 loss exposures.

Introduction
An Introduction should be succinct and to the point. Start your Introduction with a general and brief observation about the paper’s topic. Write a thesis statement, which is the “road map” for your paper - it helps your reader to navigate your work. In your thesis statement, be specific about the major areas you plan to address in your paper.
The headings below should guide your introduction, since they identify the topics to be addressed in your paper. The introduction is not a graded part of your rubric but it helps your reader to understand what your assignment will be about. We recommend that you write this part of your Introduction after you complete the other sections of your paper. It only needs to be one paragraph in length.
Analysis and Recommendations
You must answer each of the following questions in your paper. Keep your responses focused on the topic. Straying off into additional areas, even if they are interesting, will not earn additional marks, and may actually detract from the clarity of your responses.

Defining and Categorizing Various Forms of Risks
LTD Acceptance has been operating successfully without a risk mitigation plan in place. Although a major crisis has not arisen out of this omission, it might be looming, especially given that the company serves its clients via proxies. This danger underlines the significance of having a risk mitigating framework in place that will aid in overcoming any threats that crop up.
Importance of Risk Identification
Highlighting the apparent risks that may encounter the organization is a significant process. When operational risks are not identified at their formative stage, there is a chance that normal functioning will be hampered. Also, the workforce may be subject to encountering risks. If affected, execution of their mandated duties is curtailed and thus operations will also stall. Failure to identify risks also means that the business cannot accurately define its objectives. Doing so without a risk identification framework would be a recipe for failure as risks can completely damage the company’s operations.
Market Risks
There are several market risks that LTD Acceptance may face and therefore the need of having an identification framework in place. For example, the interest rates at which the company prices its premiums can be affected by a shift in the monetary policy (Leybag, 2018). Also, there is the foreign exchange risks that are likely to impact the company as it deals in automobiles that are subject to importation. The other market risk is commodity price. For example, the price of commodities such as fuel may rise and stay high for a prolonged period (Leybag, 2018). This will impact the automobile owners who may be unwilling or incapable of paying insurance premium rates that they deem high.
Business Risks
The company is also not immune to business risks and faces a couple of them in day to day operations. Economic ...
MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric .docx
MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of an external capital funding proposal.
Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must continually project the likely financial
impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the costs and effectiveness of what has been
done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational. Others are longer-term investment decisions that require substantial new resources, such as
developing new services, expanding into new geographic markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs. Each requires managers to forecast, plan,
and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both internal and external factors that can affect a company’s financial success.
For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an external capital funding proposal for
a major international investment at a publicly traded corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial backers, your proposal will need to lay out
what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within the company’s broader mission and goals, its financial impact, and the amount being requested
and why (including alternative funding mechanisms considered). In addition, it will also need to include information on the organization’s context, risk factors,
and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of the investment.
Prompt: Submit a paper that addresses critical element IV, Risks, of the final project. Discuss any risks that might affect the success of the project and how you
have planned for those contingencies.
Note: The risks (and opportunities) you identify should demonstrate your understanding of the company you selected, the industry, the investment project you
are proposing, and your project’s country and timing. Your estimates of financial impacts will be only preliminary; you will most likely revise them in your final
submission at the end of Module Nine.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Section IV Risks:
1. Internal. What are the company’s most significant internal risks and opportunities related to the project? How might they affect your financial estimates
and how will you address them? Support your response with specific examples.
2. External. How will you address significant qualitative risks outside the company that might affect project success? Give specific examples. For example,
how might culture or politics in the target country affect the proposed investment’s financial success? Natural disasters? How have you planned for
these risks?
3. Microeconomic. Assess the microeconomic factors that might affect decisions about the proposed investment. .

60CHAPTER THREEconsistent with the so-called performative app.docx
60 CHAPTER THREE
consistent with the so-called performative approach in social studies (K,apchan, 1995; Schechner, 2002; Warren 2001). According to this approach, to perform is to carry something into effect; hence, intercultural communication can be viewed as a process of carrying meaning, or cultural identity, as such, into effect.
When we speak of performativity or performance in intercultural communi cation, we must remember that "performance is the manifestation of performa tivity. This is to say, performativity refers to the reiterative process of becoming, while performance refers to the materialization of that process-the individual acts by human players in the world" (Warren, 2001: 106; boldface added)
The performative approach suggests that intercultural communication is per formed, like music. There are a variety of verbal and nonverbal elements (notes), with which people create various language games (music). Some games are quite simple (a routine greeting), while others are more complex (business negotia tions). In all cases, though, meanings are performed; that is, they are created and re-created in the process of interaction. People perform various activities repeat edly, and through repetition these movements become symbolic resources making up cultural identity. In intercultural interactions, to use Nietzsche's expression, "the deed is everything" (quoted in Butler, 1990: 25).

Introducing the Performativity Principle
Looking at intercultural communication as performance, we will formulate our third principle of intercultural communication: the Perfo.rmativity Principle. There are three parts to this principle, and each deals with intercultural communication as creating and enacting meaning in the process of interaction. First, we will dis cuss the dramaturgy of intercultural performativity, or how people move from rules to roles. Next, we will present intercultural communication as a reiterative process. Finally, we will show the structure of intercultural communication as per formance. We will discuss each part separately and then formulate the Performa tivity Principle as a whole.
The Dramaturgy of Performativity:
From Rules to Roles
Communication as Drama. When people communicate with one another, they try to reach their goals by using various language means. Every act of com munication is a performance whereby people lace each other (either literally or in a mediated fashion, such as via the telephone or the Internet) and, as if on stage, present themselves-their very identities-dramatically to each other.
The theatrical or dramaturgical metaphor for communication does not sug
gest that people perform actions according to predetermined scripts or that per formances are insincere and deceitful. Nor does the theatrical metaphor suggest that people think of themselves as actors, always conscious of performing on stage. What the dramaturgical view of performativity states.

TAMMY’S POST:
The differences between mandatory, aspirational, principle and virtue ethics are paramount to ethical practice. The comprehension and implementation of the spheres of each allow for adhesion to policy and a sense of professionalism.
"General Principles, as opposed to Ethical Standards, are aspirational in nature. Their intent is to guide and inspire psychologists toward the very highest ethical ideals of the profession. General Principles, in contrast to Ethical Standards, do not represent obligations and should not form the basis for imposing sanctions. Relying upon General Principles for either of these reasons distorts both their meaning and purpose". (American Psychological Association, 2017)
The literature and the doctrine parameters cause uncertainty due to the conflictual environment and obligations. Questions of conflict about perceptual tension, as an example in
Professional ethics in interdisciplinary collaboratives: Zeal, paternalism, and mandated reporting
(2006) are between an attorney's zeal or client autonomy within the judicial system relationships in contrast to the Social Services scope of interests of humanity and social justice. Since the adaption of roles and environments tend to adjust, concern if responsibility sways in the contention of the differences. Social services render a larger and more diverse "moral community" and their sustainability stemming from virtue. The judicial system attends to the political policy and rules governing lawful adherence versus deviance. Another spectrum is mandatory reporting obligations which are said to be more profound when ethics pursue and in the collaboration still clash. An issue is an act of ethics versus the 'command' according to an agency (Anderson, Barenberg, & Tremblay, 2006. p. 663).
The differences between principle ethics and virtue ethics
The general principles of the APA are considered aspirational. Simultaneously, therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists, and similar social services are mandated in the ethical codes of conduct to act in the betterment and safety of others, especially those deemed incompetent or incapacitated to do so.
The difference between principle ethics and virtue ethics splits by social normative and subjectivity. Social normative are more definite by culture but still universal and often mandatory. For instance, law-abiding and humane acts from avoiding reckless driving, speeding, or operating under the influence of obligatory care of the elderly, a child, or the disability are mandatory. Virtue ethics are less objective and more diverse to demographics and ethnography. Like integrity, it is a matter of right and wrong based on habits, behaviors rooted in one's upbringing. For example, seeing someone drop money instead of keeping it is returned to the person seen dropping it. Another.

Data mining can be explained as the method to interpret information and hypothesis from large knowledge and data collections like databases or data warehouses.
Data mining popularity is increasing rapidly right now in the world. It is slowly becoming one of the most desired fields of work in the world right now. Data plays a
very big role in developing and shaping a business. It is because of Data mining that an organization comes to know more about what the market has demand for and
what their customers prefer and what they absolutely dislike. Data mining has proven to be extremely helpful in making valuable and important business decisions.
As described in the article” Business data mining — a machine learning perspective”, data mining has become an integral part of business development (Bose &
Mahapatra, 2001). Data mining has several applications in different fields of life. It is used in the field of finance, television industry, education, retail industry, and
telecommunication industry. Data mining is very valuable in the field of finance. Data mining help in data analysis to find a result in loan prediction. It gives an analysis
of the customer’s credit history and fraud detection (Valcheva, n.d.). It also assists in determining the previous money laundering trends and deduces a conclusion
about any unusual patterns in a credit history. It also assists in helping develop targeted marketing. In the field of finance, data mining and analysis helps in deducing
conclusion results from the previous trend in markets to determine what fiscal produc.

12.1 Innovation as a Tool for Global Growth
LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Identify three types of innovation that can fuel global growth.
Over 93 percent of global executives rate innovation as a key driver of organic global growth. More importantly, research
shows that around 85 percent of a company's productivity gains are related to R&D and other innovation-related
investments.
Innovation is the commercialization of new invention. However, many innovations do not necessarily build on new
inventions. An invention is a new concept or product that derives from ideas or from scientific research. Innovation, on the
other hand, is the combination of new or existing ideas to create something desired by customers, viable in the
marketplace, and possible with technology (see Figure 12.1).
Figure 12.1Primary components of innovation
The inputs used to innovate could be new inventions or they could be old ideas. For example, Henry Ford didn't invent the
automobile. Karl Benz from Germany did. However, Ford combined scientific management concepts with the automobile
production process to build automobiles more efficiently (Figure 12.2). This innovation built on existing inventions to
usher in a new industry with the scale to meet demand.

Figure 12.2Innovation in the auto industryCarl Benz of Mercedes Benz invented the automobile (left). Henry Ford of Ford
Motor Company innovated by combining ideas on assembly lines with car production (right).
Most global managers struggle to get people in their companies to innovate. So far, no one has created a formula or model
that reliably leads companies to increased innovation. Some management approaches are helpful, but none is perfect. As
Dr. Brian Junling Li, vice president of Alibaba Group, puts it, “Innovation doesn't come from organized plans. It comes
from our preparedness to deal with the uncertainty of the future.” To understand how global companies can effectively
deal with the uncertainties of the future, we first need to examine the different types of innovation in which companies can
invest.
Three Kinds of Innovation
Different types of innovation have different implications for company growth. Based on those implications, we can
organize innovations into three types: those that improve performance, those that enhance efficiency, and those that create
a market.
Performance-improving innovations replace old products with upgraded models. Often, the improvements in these models
are consistent worldwide. Performance-improving innovations keep a company growing because they provide .

Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
• Identify strategy concepts, including the components of organizational strategy; generic strategies; diversi-
fication, integration, and implementation strategies; and blue ocean strategy.
• Describe the use of strategies for large, multiunit organizations, including the use of the Boston Consult-
ing Group matrix to discern strategic implications from the analysis of existing operations, and the use of
product/market expansion strategies and diversification strategies for organizational growth.
• Discuss tactical issues that are relevant to pursuing participation in a managed-care network.
• Delineate the factors that influence the selection of a strategy by an organization.
• Explain how operational plans support strategic plans, and describe how operational plans are developed.
Section 6.1Strategy Concepts
Introduction
After developing a set of objectives for the time period covered by the strategic plan, the strat-
egy necessary for accomplishing those objectives must be formulated. First, planners must
design an overall strategy, and then define the operating details of that strategy as it relates
to providing services, promoting operations, determining locations, and increasing revenue
sources. This chapter introduces the concept of strategy, and describes strategy elements,
approaches to strategy development, and how operational plans support strategic plans.
6.1 Strategy Concepts
The word strategy has been used in a number of ways over the years and especially so in
the context of business. As we discussed in Chapter 2, strategy means leadership and may
be defined as the course of action taken by an organization to achieve its objectives. It is a
description first in general terms and then, in increasingly greater detail, of the activities
the organization will undertake to meet its goals and fulfill its ongoing mission. Strategy
is the catalyst or dynamic element of managing that enables a company to accomplish its
objectives.
Strategy development is both a science and an art, a product of both logic and creativity. The
scientific aspect deals with assembling and allocating the resources necessary to achieve
an organization’s objectives with emphasis on matching organizational strengths with envi-
ronmental opportunities, while working within cost and time constraints. The art of strat-
egy is mainly concerned with the effective use of resources, including motivating people to
make the strategy work, while being sensitive to the environmental forces that may affect
the organization’s performance and maintaining the ability to adapt the HCO to these chang-
ing conditions.
Components of Organizational Strategy
The focus of strategy varies by the planning level: the organizat.

Defense-in-Depth and Awareness Techniques
Awareness is one of the essential aspects in most of the organization, which requires a high magnitude to address comprehensively in all sections.
The depth in defense is more paramount to ensure that the organizations are comprehensively and effectively protect their system from the cyber-
attack activities. The most crucial strategy to deploy is two strategic systems that enhance the high degree of security instead of implementing one
security system. Various organizations have taken into account the defense in depth very crucial. Still, the organizations demanded to incorporate
their awareness through the provision of comprehensive educations to the employees and the workers in the organizations concerning the vital
measures that should be taken into account to curb security issues and develop holistic values taken into account. Most of the organizations are
known not to take the awareness as pressing issues that demand high consideration for the process of protecting and enhancing the security to be
tight. For any organization to protect their system from the cybercrime attack, they need to embrace situational awareness so that they can compre-
hensively develop strategic interventions that enable them to improve and assist in the detection of the up and coming threats as well as the

Defining and Categorizing Various Forms of Risks
LTD Acceptance has been operating successfully without a risk mitigation plan in place. Although a major crisis has not arisen out of this omission, it might be looming, especially given that the company serves its clients via proxies. This danger underlines the significance of having a risk mitigating framework in place that will aid in overcoming any threats that crop up.
Importance of Risk Identification
Highlighting the apparent risks that may encounter the organization is a significant process. When operational risks are not identified at their formative stage, there is a chance that normal functioning will be hampered. Also, the workforce may be subject to encountering risks. If affected, execution of their mandated duties is curtailed and thus operations will also stall. Failure to identify risks also means that the business cannot accurately define its objectives. Doing so without a risk identification framework would be a recipe for failure as risks can completely damage the company’s operations.
Market Risks
There are several market risks that LTD Acceptance may face and therefore the need of having an identification framework in place. For example, the interest rates at which the company prices its premiums can be affected by a shift in the monetary policy (Leybag, 2018). Also, there is the foreign exchange risks that are likely to impact the company as it deals in automobiles that are subject to importation. The other market risk is commodity price. For example, the price of commodities such as fuel may rise and stay high for a prolonged period (Leybag, 2018). This will impact the automobile owners who may be unwilling or incapable of paying insurance premium rates that they deem high.
Business Risks
The company is also not immune to business risks and faces a couple of them in day to day operations. Economic ...
MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric .docx
MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of an external capital funding proposal.
Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must continually project the likely financial
impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the costs and effectiveness of what has been
done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational. Others are longer-term investment decisions that require substantial new resources, such as
developing new services, expanding into new geographic markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs. Each requires managers to forecast, plan,
and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both internal and external factors that can affect a company’s financial success.
For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an external capital funding proposal for
a major international investment at a publicly traded corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial backers, your proposal will need to lay out
what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within the company’s broader mission and goals, its financial impact, and the amount being requested
and why (including alternative funding mechanisms considered). In addition, it will also need to include information on the organization’s context, risk factors,
and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of the investment.
Prompt: Submit a paper that addresses critical element IV, Risks, of the final project. Discuss any risks that might affect the success of the project and how you
have planned for those contingencies.
Note: The risks (and opportunities) you identify should demonstrate your understanding of the company you selected, the industry, the investment project you
are proposing, and your project’s country and timing. Your estimates of financial impacts will be only preliminary; you will most likely revise them in your final
submission at the end of Module Nine.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Section IV Risks:
1. Internal. What are the company’s most significant internal risks and opportunities related to the project? How might they affect your financial estimates
and how will you address them? Support your response with specific examples.
2. External. How will you address significant qualitative risks outside the company that might affect project success? Give specific examples. For example,
how might culture or politics in the target country affect the proposed investment’s financial success? Natural disasters? How have you planned for
these risks?
3. Microeconomic. Assess the microeconomic factors that might affect decisions about the proposed investment. .

60CHAPTER THREEconsistent with the so-called performative app.docx
60 CHAPTER THREE
consistent with the so-called performative approach in social studies (K,apchan, 1995; Schechner, 2002; Warren 2001). According to this approach, to perform is to carry something into effect; hence, intercultural communication can be viewed as a process of carrying meaning, or cultural identity, as such, into effect.
When we speak of performativity or performance in intercultural communi cation, we must remember that "performance is the manifestation of performa tivity. This is to say, performativity refers to the reiterative process of becoming, while performance refers to the materialization of that process-the individual acts by human players in the world" (Warren, 2001: 106; boldface added)
The performative approach suggests that intercultural communication is per formed, like music. There are a variety of verbal and nonverbal elements (notes), with which people create various language games (music). Some games are quite simple (a routine greeting), while others are more complex (business negotia tions). In all cases, though, meanings are performed; that is, they are created and re-created in the process of interaction. People perform various activities repeat edly, and through repetition these movements become symbolic resources making up cultural identity. In intercultural interactions, to use Nietzsche's expression, "the deed is everything" (quoted in Butler, 1990: 25).

Introducing the Performativity Principle
Looking at intercultural communication as performance, we will formulate our third principle of intercultural communication: the Perfo.rmativity Principle. There are three parts to this principle, and each deals with intercultural communication as creating and enacting meaning in the process of interaction. First, we will dis cuss the dramaturgy of intercultural performativity, or how people move from rules to roles. Next, we will present intercultural communication as a reiterative process. Finally, we will show the structure of intercultural communication as per formance. We will discuss each part separately and then formulate the Performa tivity Principle as a whole.
The Dramaturgy of Performativity:
From Rules to Roles
Communication as Drama. When people communicate with one another, they try to reach their goals by using various language means. Every act of com munication is a performance whereby people lace each other (either literally or in a mediated fashion, such as via the telephone or the Internet) and, as if on stage, present themselves-their very identities-dramatically to each other.
The theatrical or dramaturgical metaphor for communication does not sug
gest that people perform actions according to predetermined scripts or that per formances are insincere and deceitful. Nor does the theatrical metaphor suggest that people think of themselves as actors, always conscious of performing on stage. What the dramaturgical view of performativity states.

TAMMY’S POST:
The differences between mandatory, aspirational, principle and virtue ethics are paramount to ethical practice. The comprehension and implementation of the spheres of each allow for adhesion to policy and a sense of professionalism.
"General Principles, as opposed to Ethical Standards, are aspirational in nature. Their intent is to guide and inspire psychologists toward the very highest ethical ideals of the profession. General Principles, in contrast to Ethical Standards, do not represent obligations and should not form the basis for imposing sanctions. Relying upon General Principles for either of these reasons distorts both their meaning and purpose". (American Psychological Association, 2017)
The literature and the doctrine parameters cause uncertainty due to the conflictual environment and obligations. Questions of conflict about perceptual tension, as an example in
Professional ethics in interdisciplinary collaboratives: Zeal, paternalism, and mandated reporting
(2006) are between an attorney's zeal or client autonomy within the judicial system relationships in contrast to the Social Services scope of interests of humanity and social justice. Since the adaption of roles and environments tend to adjust, concern if responsibility sways in the contention of the differences. Social services render a larger and more diverse "moral community" and their sustainability stemming from virtue. The judicial system attends to the political policy and rules governing lawful adherence versus deviance. Another spectrum is mandatory reporting obligations which are said to be more profound when ethics pursue and in the collaboration still clash. An issue is an act of ethics versus the 'command' according to an agency (Anderson, Barenberg, & Tremblay, 2006. p. 663).
The differences between principle ethics and virtue ethics
The general principles of the APA are considered aspirational. Simultaneously, therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists, and similar social services are mandated in the ethical codes of conduct to act in the betterment and safety of others, especially those deemed incompetent or incapacitated to do so.
The difference between principle ethics and virtue ethics splits by social normative and subjectivity. Social normative are more definite by culture but still universal and often mandatory. For instance, law-abiding and humane acts from avoiding reckless driving, speeding, or operating under the influence of obligatory care of the elderly, a child, or the disability are mandatory. Virtue ethics are less objective and more diverse to demographics and ethnography. Like integrity, it is a matter of right and wrong based on habits, behaviors rooted in one's upbringing. For example, seeing someone drop money instead of keeping it is returned to the person seen dropping it. Another.

Data mining can be explained as the method to interpret information and hypothesis from large knowledge and data collections like databases or data warehouses.
Data mining popularity is increasing rapidly right now in the world. It is slowly becoming one of the most desired fields of work in the world right now. Data plays a
very big role in developing and shaping a business. It is because of Data mining that an organization comes to know more about what the market has demand for and
what their customers prefer and what they absolutely dislike. Data mining has proven to be extremely helpful in making valuable and important business decisions.
As described in the article” Business data mining — a machine learning perspective”, data mining has become an integral part of business development (Bose &
Mahapatra, 2001). Data mining has several applications in different fields of life. It is used in the field of finance, television industry, education, retail industry, and
telecommunication industry. Data mining is very valuable in the field of finance. Data mining help in data analysis to find a result in loan prediction. It gives an analysis
of the customer’s credit history and fraud detection (Valcheva, n.d.). It also assists in determining the previous money laundering trends and deduces a conclusion
about any unusual patterns in a credit history. It also assists in helping develop targeted marketing. In the field of finance, data mining and analysis helps in deducing
conclusion results from the previous trend in markets to determine what fiscal produc.

12.1 Innovation as a Tool for Global Growth
LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Identify three types of innovation that can fuel global growth.
Over 93 percent of global executives rate innovation as a key driver of organic global growth. More importantly, research
shows that around 85 percent of a company's productivity gains are related to R&D and other innovation-related
investments.
Innovation is the commercialization of new invention. However, many innovations do not necessarily build on new
inventions. An invention is a new concept or product that derives from ideas or from scientific research. Innovation, on the
other hand, is the combination of new or existing ideas to create something desired by customers, viable in the
marketplace, and possible with technology (see Figure 12.1).
Figure 12.1Primary components of innovation
The inputs used to innovate could be new inventions or they could be old ideas. For example, Henry Ford didn't invent the
automobile. Karl Benz from Germany did. However, Ford combined scientific management concepts with the automobile
production process to build automobiles more efficiently (Figure 12.2). This innovation built on existing inventions to
usher in a new industry with the scale to meet demand.

Figure 12.2Innovation in the auto industryCarl Benz of Mercedes Benz invented the automobile (left). Henry Ford of Ford
Motor Company innovated by combining ideas on assembly lines with car production (right).
Most global managers struggle to get people in their companies to innovate. So far, no one has created a formula or model
that reliably leads companies to increased innovation. Some management approaches are helpful, but none is perfect. As
Dr. Brian Junling Li, vice president of Alibaba Group, puts it, “Innovation doesn't come from organized plans. It comes
from our preparedness to deal with the uncertainty of the future.” To understand how global companies can effectively
deal with the uncertainties of the future, we first need to examine the different types of innovation in which companies can
invest.
Three Kinds of Innovation
Different types of innovation have different implications for company growth. Based on those implications, we can
organize innovations into three types: those that improve performance, those that enhance efficiency, and those that create
a market.
Performance-improving innovations replace old products with upgraded models. Often, the improvements in these models
are consistent worldwide. Performance-improving innovations keep a company growing because they provide .

Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
• Identify strategy concepts, including the components of organizational strategy; generic strategies; diversi-
fication, integration, and implementation strategies; and blue ocean strategy.
• Describe the use of strategies for large, multiunit organizations, including the use of the Boston Consult-
ing Group matrix to discern strategic implications from the analysis of existing operations, and the use of
product/market expansion strategies and diversification strategies for organizational growth.
• Discuss tactical issues that are relevant to pursuing participation in a managed-care network.
• Delineate the factors that influence the selection of a strategy by an organization.
• Explain how operational plans support strategic plans, and describe how operational plans are developed.
Section 6.1Strategy Concepts
Introduction
After developing a set of objectives for the time period covered by the strategic plan, the strat-
egy necessary for accomplishing those objectives must be formulated. First, planners must
design an overall strategy, and then define the operating details of that strategy as it relates
to providing services, promoting operations, determining locations, and increasing revenue
sources. This chapter introduces the concept of strategy, and describes strategy elements,
approaches to strategy development, and how operational plans support strategic plans.
6.1 Strategy Concepts
The word strategy has been used in a number of ways over the years and especially so in
the context of business. As we discussed in Chapter 2, strategy means leadership and may
be defined as the course of action taken by an organization to achieve its objectives. It is a
description first in general terms and then, in increasingly greater detail, of the activities
the organization will undertake to meet its goals and fulfill its ongoing mission. Strategy
is the catalyst or dynamic element of managing that enables a company to accomplish its
objectives.
Strategy development is both a science and an art, a product of both logic and creativity. The
scientific aspect deals with assembling and allocating the resources necessary to achieve
an organization’s objectives with emphasis on matching organizational strengths with envi-
ronmental opportunities, while working within cost and time constraints. The art of strat-
egy is mainly concerned with the effective use of resources, including motivating people to
make the strategy work, while being sensitive to the environmental forces that may affect
the organization’s performance and maintaining the ability to adapt the HCO to these chang-
ing conditions.
Components of Organizational Strategy
The focus of strategy varies by the planning level: the organizat.

Defense-in-Depth and Awareness Techniques
Awareness is one of the essential aspects in most of the organization, which requires a high magnitude to address comprehensively in all sections.
The depth in defense is more paramount to ensure that the organizations are comprehensively and effectively protect their system from the cyber-
attack activities. The most crucial strategy to deploy is two strategic systems that enhance the high degree of security instead of implementing one
security system. Various organizations have taken into account the defense in depth very crucial. Still, the organizations demanded to incorporate
their awareness through the provision of comprehensive educations to the employees and the workers in the organizations concerning the vital
measures that should be taken into account to curb security issues and develop holistic values taken into account. Most of the organizations are
known not to take the awareness as pressing issues that demand high consideration for the process of protecting and enhancing the security to be
tight. For any organization to protect their system from the cybercrime attack, they need to embrace situational awareness so that they can compre-
hensively develop strategic interventions that enable them to improve and assist in the detection of the up and coming threats as well as the

An American in India
What is my inheritance? To what am I an heir?
To all that humanity has achieved during tens of
thousands of years, to all that it has thought and
felt and suffered and taken pleasure in, to its cries
of triumph and its bitter agony of defeat, to that
astonishing adventure of man which began so long
ago and yet continues and beckons us. To all this
and more in common with all men. But there is
a special heritage for those of us of India, one
more especially applicable.
j awa h a r l a l n e h r u , The Discovery of India
Before boarding the plane on my previous trip to India, when I was fif-
teen, I asked my father if they had Frosted Flakes there. “I don’t think
so,” he replied. Then how could I be expected to stay for six weeks?
I was openly contemptuous of India during that family trip.
Thumbs Up Cola didn’t taste at all like Coke, and the paper straw I
sucked it through was too small to get a good gulp in. There was no
shower in my grandmother’s home. Bathing was a primitive affair that

consisted of putting water in a bucket and pouring it over yourself
with a pitcher. The air conditioners made too much noise. The fans
just blew the heat around. India was a land of filth, nuisance, and
backwardness.
In Bombay, where my extended family is based, I spent my days in-
side my aunt’s apartment reading Ayn Rand novels and outlining my
college application essays. My cousins offered to take me out at night
but soon got tired of my attitude. “Remember, tell them not to put ice
in your drink,” Bathool told me at a juice bar on Chowpatty Beach,
doing her best to protect my American stomach from a case of the
runs. “What the hell is wrong with this place that you can’t even have
the ice?” I responded.
When we went touring in the north, through Agra and Jaipur, the
only hour I didn’t complain was when we were at the Taj Mahal. My
white friends at school had asked me to tell them what it was like; I
paid attention so I could report back. The rest of the time, I cursed the
searing heat; the sticky dirt; the stinking, heaving crush of brown bod-
ies around me. I threw a tantrum when I discovered that we had been
bumped from our original flight and would have to wait an extra two
days before returning. “I just want to go home,” I whined like a five-
year-old to my parents.
And now I was going back to India. Six years separated the jour-
neys. I was embarrassed by my behavior on my previous trip, but most
of all I was angry at America. After all, it was America that had se-
duced me into adopting its styles and its scorn, forced me to sacrifice
my true heritage in a devil’s bargain for accepta.

BRITTNEY’S POST:
I would work to have a relationship with Olivia just like I would work to have a relationship with any one of my students. I would start every morning by asking her how she is as she comes through door, ask her at some point throughout the day how she is doing, and ask how everyone’s day went at the end of the day. I would also make a point on Mondays to ask everyone what they did over the weekend and Fridays what everyone’s plans are for the weekend. Talking about a child’s day and/or weekend is a great way to build a connection with my students, as well as making it clear that they can talk to me if they need to, and speaking to them with respect, not like they are below you. In addition, it would help to talk about your weekend plans and your day as well. I think each of my strategies will make a positive impact on building a relationship with my students because each one has everything to do with them learning to trust, talk to, and respect me as well.
A few suggestions I would give Olivia’s parents to further build this bond is to suggest one on one time after school a couple times a week or a monthly recap with all the students. One on one time with Olivia would consist of Olivia being able to talk about whatever she wants with homework help and additional tutoring if needed. A monthly recap would consist of one hour a month where the student and their parents can come in for cookies and discuss anything they want. Such as, critiques on my teaching skills/methods, suggestions on material/activities, or just anything I can improve on as an educator. I think it is important to develop a relationship with every child because children do not want to learn from someone they do not like or who does not like them. Rita Pierson, who discusses how she, her parents, and maternal grandparents were educators and the value and importance of human connection. Pierson discusses how everyone is affected by a teacher or an adult at some point in their life. She then goes on to discuss how a teacher said “They don’t pay me to like the kids. They pay me to teach a lesson. The k.

Guided Response:
Respond to one peer in this Discussion Forum. Read the challenging behavior scenario they have created and use the Developmental Discipline guidance strategy to problem solve. You must include the following in your response: child’s name, how you will approach the child, possible reminder or private sign, describe how you provide time and space, an example of self-talk that can help the child problem solve, and a choice you can offer the child. Additionally, can you use humor to defuse the situation? If so, how? If not, why?
My post:
Collaborative problem solving is one of the guidance strategies to address challenging behaviors. This strategy is based on the notion that a child does not just behave undesirably. There must be a reason for such behavior. Thus, understanding why the child is having a challenging behavior is the start towards addressing this behavior (Schaubman, Stetson, & Plog, 2011). The focus is on building skills like problem-solving, flexibility, and frustration tolerance rather than motivation the child to behave better. Surprisingly, children with challenging behaviors do not lack the will to behave in a desired manner. Simply, they do not have the skills necessary to behave in a desired manner. This information is vital to addressing challenging behaviors among children in the future. This would be achieved through identifying the challenging behaviors, skills needed to address the behaviors, and partnering with the child to build these needed skills (
Kaiser & Sklar Rasminsky, 2017
). This strategy would help address Olivia’s disruptive behavior, impulsivity and addressing peers negatively. Reward and punishment may not work on Olivia. Thus, Olivia needs to develop skills to address her behaviors (Schaubman et al., 2011). One of the skills to develop is social skills to enable her to control her impulsivity, connect with others, and relate with her peers positively. Apart from this strategy, time-out or time-away would address Olivia’s challenging behaviors. A scenario portraying Olivia’s challenging behavior is her inability to wait for her turn during a group activity. She is always blurting out answers before her turn arrives. How can this be solved?

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
