the Bloch Museum of Fine Art (BMFA)
FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT
tutorialoutlet
Your position You have been hired as a marketing consultant for the
Bloch Museum of Fine Art (BMFA), a small modern art museum in
the town of Arkham (population: 25,000). The museum’s mission is
―to display, promote, and foster awareness and appreciation of
contemporary art from around the globe‖. Though relatively new (the
facility opened in 2000), BMFA wants to expand its services to
include educational programs, outreach offerings, and at least one
major festival event that would appeal to residents and tourists within
a 100-mile radius.
About BMFA and its community BMFA is affiliated with Miskatonic
University, which enrolls approximately 3,000 undergraduate and
graduate students. Unlike many other museums linked to universities,
though, BMFA is privately funded, with its own board of directors
and staff. Miskatonic University provides in-kind support via building
and grounds maintenance. It also covers the cost of the museum’s
utilities.
Although both the town of Arkham and Miskatonic University are
small, they contain progressive, artssavvy populations. Recent BMFA
exhibitions by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami and US-based Jenny
Holzer have been immensely popular with students, faculty, and the
broader community.
Given Arkham’s mountainside location, the community often
includes large numbers of tourists — both during the winter when
nearby ski lodges are full, and during the summer, when many
urbanites visit Arkham to escape the city heat. However, BMFA
hasn’t done an especially good job of drawing those tourists to the
museum.
BMFA programming To date, the bulk of BMFA’s programming has
been limited to the most basic museum activities:
● Displaying a portion of BMFA’s permanent collection, which
generally dates from 1970 or later; ● Displaying one special
collection or solo show in a well-positioned gallery near the museum
entrance; ● Occasional tours for university and high school students,
led by a corps of eager docents; and, ● Renting the venue for
weddings and other private parties.
BMFA has little to no track record producing educational programs
for k-12 students, enrichment programs for adults, or other offerings
that engage the public.
Your job While enthusiasm for the museum was strong at first, it has
slowly begun to wane. The board have been good stewards of early
donations, setting up a sizable endowment, but as publicity has
diminished and BMFA’s newness has worn off, revenue from grants
has dropped. Attendance is down, too. Frankly, rentals are the only
thing keeping the doors open.
To avoid dipping into its endowment to pay staff salaries and other
operating costs, the board of directors know that BMFA must boost
its income. Based on internal and community assessments, they have
concluded that the two best ways to meet revenue goals are to:
● Add educational activities for students at all levels (kindergarten
through college), and, ● Create an annual special event, such as a
biennial or other arts-related festival.
Admittedly, educational activities won’t generate much earned
revenue (though some is possible if there’s a charge for workshops),
but they will definitely make the museum more competitive in the
grants arena. The board have retained an elementary/secondary
education specialist to build the educational activities for K-12
students, but they want you to take the lead in conceiving outreach
activities for university
students, adult residents, and tourists. These might include lectures,
film screenings, and other arts activities that contain educational
elements — whatever you think might appeal to those markets.
On the other hand, the special event/festival should raise a significant
amount of earned revenue (its goal is $250,000) through a tiered
series of events. Though the nature and format of the festival is left to
your judgment, the board would like to see a range of offerings that
appeal to all income brackets, from low-cost concerts to an opening
night gala with a silent auction and tickets that start at $250 per
person.
Keep in mind that the museum has a budget of just $30,000 and
limited staff to carry out your plans. The board can certainly be
counted on for some assistance, but they will be better at securing
sponsorships and selling tickets to their friends than setting up buffet
tables and working bars. The museum does have a well-designed
website that draws a substantial number of viewers, as well as an
email list of 10,000 subscribers, which includes a substantial number
of Miskatonic alumni.
Your goals Please submit your recommendations to the board in the
following format:
» Two educational programs—one geared toward university students,
and one geared toward the general public. Describe each program in
detail, and explain why you think it would attract the audience in
question.
» One special event that incorporates elements for children, young
adults, and older adults from widely varying backgrounds. (Don’t
forget tourists!) Describe the event in detail, and explain why you
think it will attract the audiences in question. Include prices in your
description, to demonstrate the event’s appeal to people across the
economic spectrum.
» Discuss your marketing plan for each of the three events. Be sure to
discuss publicity (e.g. your goals for editorial coverage, interviews,
media sponsorships, social media, influencer outreach, email blasts,
etc.) and advertising efforts (e.g. direct mail, radio spots, etc.). Above
all, please include a timeline for accomplishing these tasks. A
suggested format might be:
Program #1: Publicity: Advertising: Timeline:

Introduction Organizational theory
FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT
tutorialoutlet
Introduction
Organizational theory, which draws on many disciplines, is a tough
subject and it is reasonable to ask why it is important enough to take
the time to become familiar with it. Knowledge of organizational
theory is important because it: (1) makes organizations more
understandable; (2) reveals how authority and decision making are
organized and distributed; (3) explains why some police departments
are less or more open to change and innovation; (4) makes
assumptions, one way or another, about followers; (5) incorporates
notions about the environments that the police department faces (e.g.,
political and legal) and how these can impinge on the department; and
(6) provides an essential tool for leaders in deciding how the work
will
be processed and the structure and relationship of the work units
needed to accomplish it. Formal Organizations
Formal organizations are not a recent innovation.1 Alexander the
Great and Julius Caesar used them to conquer, the pharaohs employed
them to build pyramids, the emperors of China constructed great
irrigation systems with them, and the first popes created an
organization to deliver religion on a worldwide basis.2 The extent to
which contemporary America is an organizational society is such that
we are born in organizations, educated by organizations, and
spend most of our lives working for organizations. We spend much
of our time … playing and praying in organizations. Most of us will
die in an organization and when the time comes for burial, the
largest organization of all—the state—must grant official
permission.3 The basic rationale for the existence of organizations is
that they do
those things that people are unwilling or unable to do alone. Parsons
notes that organizations are distinguished from other human
groupings or social units in that, to a much greater degree, they are
constructed and reconstructed to achieve specific goals; corporations,
armies, hospitals, and police departments are included within this
meaning, whereas families and friendship groups are not.4 Schein
defines an organization as the rational coordination of the activities of
a number of people for the achievement of some common explicit
purpose or goal, through division of labor and function and a
hierarchy of authority and responsibility.5
Blau and Scott identify four types of formal organizations by asking
the question of cui bono, or who benefits: (1) mutual benefit
associations, such as police labor unions, where the primary
beneficiary is the membership; (2) business concerns, such as Lynn
Peavey, which sells crime scene equipment and supplies, where the
owner is the prime beneficiary; (3) service organizations, such as
community mental health centers, where a specific client group is the
prime beneficiary; and (4)commonweal organizations, such as the
Department of Defense and law enforcement agencies, where the
beneficiary is the public at large.6
Each of these four types of formal organizations has its own central
issues.7 Mutual benefit associations, such as police unions, face the
crucial problem of maintaining the internal democratic processes—
providing for participation and control by their membership. For
businesses, the central issue is maximizing profits in a competitive
environment. Service organizations are faced with the conflict
between administrative regulations and provision of the services
judged by the professional to be most appropriate. In the case of a
community mental health center, an illustration is that, following a
reduction in funding, a regulation is placed into effect that requires all
clients to be treated in group sessions when the psychiatric social
worker believes the only effective treatment for a particular client is
to be seen individually.
The key issue for law enforcement agencies and other types of
commonweal organizations is finding a way to accommodate
pressures from two sources: (1) external democratic control and (2)
internal control. The public expects to have external democratic
control of its police department through its elected and appointed
representatives. This external democratic control feature also has the
expectation that the internal workings of the police department will
be effective and efficient, but not also democratic. This is because
democratic control by the members of a police department would
inevitably lead to the department being in conflict at various times
with the will of the community (e.g., one favoring a hard-line
approach
to crime control versus the other being in favor of a more moderate
approach). Internally, large numbers of officers at the lower levels of
the police department do not want to be treated like ―cogs in a
machine‖ and desire some voice in how the department operates.
Thus, the challenge for police managers is how to maintain an
organization that meets society’s needs and the needs of the officers
who work in it. This requires an understanding of such things as the
different ways of organizing and the contrasting assumptions that
various organizational forms make about the nature of people. Such
knowledge is found within organizational theory. Traditional
Organizational Theory
Traditional theory is associated with organizations described as
classical, mechanistic, and closed systems, which assume little
influence from outside of the organization. Its underlying assumption
is that there is one best way to structure and operate an organization.
This body of knowledge evolved over centuries and crystallized
between 1900 and the 1950s. The three branches or stems of
traditional organizational theory are (1) scientific management, (2)
the bureaucratic model, and (3) administrative, or management,
theory. Taylor: Scientific Management
The father of scientific management is Frederick W. Taylor (1856–
1915), and the thrust of his thinking was to find the ―one best way‖ to
do work (see Figure 5.1). In addition to its status as a theory of work
organization, Taylor’s scientific management is a theory of
motivation in its belief that employees will be guided in their actions
by what is in
their economic self-interest.
A Pennsylvanian born of Quaker–Puritan parents, Taylor was so
discontented with the ―evils‖ of waste and slothfulness that he applied
the same careful analysis to finding the best way of playing croquet
and of taking a cross-country walk with the least fatigue that was to
be the hallmark of his later work in factories.8 From 1878 to 1890,
Taylor worked at the Midvale Steel Company in Philadelphia, rising
from the ranks of the laborers to chief engineer in just 6
years.9 Taylor’s experience at Midvale gave him insight into the twin
problems of productivity and worker motivation. He saw workers as
deliberately restricting productivity by ―natural soldiering‖ and
―systematic soldiering.‖
Natural soldiering came from the natural inclination of employees
not to push themselves;systematic soldiering came from workers
not wanting to produce so much as to see their quotas raised or other
workers thrown out of their jobs.10 To correct these deficiencies,
Taylor called for a ―complete mental revolution‖11 on the part of both
workers and managers, although it is certain that he faulted
management more for its failure to design jobs properly and to give
workers the proper economic incentives to overcome soldiering than
he did workers for not producing.12
Taylor’s scientific management is only loosely a theory of
organization
because its focus was largely on work at the bottom part of the
organization rather than being a general model. Scientific
management’s method was to find the most physically and
timeefficient way to sequence tasks and then to use rigorous and
extensive
controls to enforce the standards. Taylor’s conversation with
―Schmidt‖ illustrates this: Schmidt, you can keep making $1.15 a day
like the rest of these
workers or you can be a high price man and make $1.85 each and
every day. Do you want to be a high price man?‖ o ―Vell yes, I vant
to be high price man.‖ ―Good. When this
man tells you to load pig iron on the car, you walk, pick up the
pig and load it exactly like he tells you. Rest when he tells you to
and never give him any backtalk. That’s what a high price man
does.‖ ―I vant to be a high price man and vill do what this man
tells me.‖13 For Taylor, authority was based not on position in a
hierarchy but
rather on knowledge; functional supervision meant that people
were responsible for directing certain tasks, despite the fact that this
meant the authority of the supervisor might cut across organizational
lines.14 The exception principle meant that routine matters should be
handled by lower-level managers or by supervisors and that
higherlevel managers should only receive reports of deviations above
or
below standard performances.15 The integration of cost accounting
into the planning process became part of some budgeting practices
treated in Chapter 12, Financial Management.
Despite the success of scientific management in raising productivity
and cutting costs, ―Taylorism‖ was attacked from a variety of
quarters. Union leaders saw it as a threat to their movement because
it seemed to reduce, if not eliminate, the importance of unions. The
management of Bethlehem Steel ultimately abandoned task
management, as Taylor liked to refer to his system, because managers
were uncomfortable with such an accurate appraisal of their
performance16 and some liberals saw it as an exploitation of workers.
Upton Sinclair, one of the muckrakers (SeeChapter 1, Evolution of
Police Administration) charged that Taylor had given workers a 61
percent increase in wages while getting a 362 percent increase in
productivity.17 Taylor replied to this charge by saying that employees
worked no harder, only more efficiently. In hearings before the U.S.
House of Representatives in 1912, Taylor’s methods were attacked
thoroughly, and he died 3 years later a discouraged man. Nonetheless,
Henry Ford recast scientific management and used it to increase
production and lower costs for the mass-produced Model T Ford
(1909–1927). Scientific management did not disappear with Taylor,
however. There
remained a core of people devoted to its practice, including Henry L.
Gantt (1861–1919); Watlington Emerson (1853–1931), also a
promoter
of the staff concept; Frank (1868–1924) and Lillian (1878–1972)
Gilbreth; and Morris Cooke (1872–1960), who in Our Cities
Awake (1918) called for the application of scientific management in
municipal government. Gantt gained a measure of immortality by
developing a basic planning chart, illustrated in Figure 5.2, which
remains in wide use today and still bears his name. Developed during
the summer of 1917 while Gantt worked at the Frankford Arsenal, the
Gantt chart contained the then-revolutionary idea that the key factor
in planning production was not quantity but time.18 Some
international
interest in scientific management also remained after Taylor’s death;
in 1918, France’s Ministry of War called for the application of
scientific management, as did Lenin in an article in Pravda.19 It is, of
course, ironic that a communist society should call for the use of a
management system based on the principle that economic self-interest
guides the behavior of workers.
Although scientific management has long since ceased to be a
dominant force, it does not mean that it is all history. In addition to
Gantt charts, many of the techniques associated with scientific
management remain in use. Time and motion studies have been used
to analyze how detectives use their time, identifying wasteful
activities such as waiting for a vehicle to become available at the
motor pool. Work-flow analysis (depicted in Figure 5.3) remains used
in industrial engineering. Other modern successors to scientific
management were developed during World War II to support the war
effort, and the refinement and more general application of these
techniques is a post-1945 movement. The new techniques have
alternatively been referred to as management science and operations
research (OR), and their central orientation has been the application
of quantitative and technical analysis to decision making.20 Thus, the
most enduring image of Taylor is as a promoter of both rationalization
in organizations and management control systems.21
In 1997, Taylor’s The Principles of Scientific Management (1911)
was
re-released due to continuing interest in his methods and Kanigel
wrote a balanced criticism of Taylor’s work,22 as did Caldari in
2007.23 Read together, they serve to essentially rehabilitate both
Taylor’s work and his reputation. Weber: The Bureaucratic Model
In popular use, bureaucracy has come to mean slow, unnecessarily
complicated procedures with answers that don’t seem to quite meet
our needs.24 This meaning is far from the image of the ideal or pure
bureaucracy developed by the towering German intellect Max
Weber (1864–1920), the founder of modern sociology
(see Figure 5.4). For Weber, the choice was ―only between
bureaucracy and dilettantism in the field of administration.‖25 In this
regard, Weber claimed that the pure bureaucratic model was superior
to all other methods of organizing with respect to efficiency, control,
and stability.26
With some added commentary, Weber’s pure bureaucratic model of
organizational structure included the following characteristics: 1. The
organization of offices follows the principle of hierarchy;
that is, each lower office is under the control and supervision of a
higher one. This arrangement of successively higher offices creates
―layers‖ in a police department; the greater the number of layers,
the more vertical complexity a department has. Hierarchy also
provides the ―vertical highways‖ that establish reporting
relationships, as well as formal communication channels. 2. There is a
right of appeal and of statement of grievances from
the lower to the higher offices. 3. Specified areas of competence,
meaning a division of labor,
exist. This division of labor or specialization increases the width
and horizontal complexity of law enforcement agencies. The greater
the amount of specialization in organizations, the more
organizations grow vertically to have the ability to coordinate the
different units. 4. Official duties are bound by a system of rational
rules, such
as policies and procedures. 5. Administrative acts, decisions, and rules
are recorded in
writing, creating an institutional memory. 6. The authority associated
with a position is the property of the
office or job and not of the occupant of the position. 7. Employees are
appointed on the basis of qualifications, and
specialized training is necessary. 8. Organizational members do not
own it.27 Although not all the characteristics of Weber’s bureaucratic
model can
be revealed by an organizational chart, Figure 5.5 does depict two
important features: (1) the principle of hierarchy and (2) a division of
labor that results in specialization.
Weber’s bureaucratic model rested on what he called rational-legal
authority.28 In a police context, rational legal authority rests on the
legal basis for the existence of the department. Authority is granted to
positions within the organization, such as sergeants, lieutenants, and
captains, who use that authority to fulfill their responsibilities and to
accomplish the goals of the department (seeFigure 5.6). Bureaucracy
and Decision Space
Although there may have been a few stray exceptions, police
departments for centuries have used the bureaucratic form of
organization and continue to do so. While clinging, like the majority
of
organizations in the world, to the structure of the bureaucratic
organizational model, police departments have substantially dropped
new processes over it to: (1) attract new generations of officers with
expectations different than their predecessors; (2) shift from an
almost singular focus on internal administration, such as control, to
empowering employees; (3) foster collaboration with constituents; (4)
implement new operational philosophies (e.g., community- and
intelligence-led policing); (5) employ new models of leadership; (6)
operate with greater openness, producing more transparency of
administration and operations in the community; (7) increase
workforce diversity; (8) use new technologies (e.g. texting, Facebook,
and Twitter); and (9) be more nimble in responding to emergent
conditions and issues.
Many law enforcement agencies have rapidly moved into
egovernment,29 facilitating the use of government services on-line.
The
Springfield (Missouri) Police Department’s website allows citizens to
obtain crime maps of their neighborhoods, search police reports,
request copies of traffic accident and incident reports, locate the
residence of sexual offenders, and file a complaint against or extend
recognition to officers.
As a result, this ―reformatted bureaucracy‖ falls into the broad
category of neoclassical organization theory, meaning taking a fresh
perspective on traditional organizational theory. More specifically, the
reformatted bureaucratic organization model has also been labeled
neoWeberian.30 The shift from the pure bureaucratic model to the
neoWeberian accompanies the rise in the management concept of
the new public management (NPM), which began in the 1980s. At
its core, NPM called for the use of private sector approaches in public
organizations (e.g., creating productivity gains, getting citizens
involved, and outsourcing services if it can be done cheaper and as
well or better than when using public funds). A 2007 study of 304
California law enforcement agencies in cities identified as immigrant
destinations illustrates the neoclassical bureaucratic organizational
model.31
Illegal immigration provides a backdrop to contrast classical and
neoclassical law enforcement agencies. Illegal immigration is a ―hot
button‖ issue. American nativists are staunchly anti-immigration on
any basis. Others support immigration reform as long as there is no
amnesty, while a liberal immigration reform law will have some
support as well. Arizona chose to enact a stringent law aimed at
identifying, prosecuting, and deporting illegal immigrants
(see Figure 5.7), the lone state to have done so.
Elsewhere, if law enforcement agencies were simply classical
bureaucratic organizations, they would arrest all violators of
immigration laws that come to their attention. However, many law
enforcement agencies, often without any direction from city hall have
chosen not to cooperate with federal authorities in rounding up illegal
immigrants.
These neoclassical agencies recognize that actively seeking out and
enforcing federal immigration laws will dry up support and
information needed to investigate traditional state and local laws. It is
a practical stance; in some cities non-citizens account for half of the
foreign born residents.32

Action Recommended:
We need to begin taking the necessary steps to ensure that the brand
Taco Bell doesn't suffer a huge loss individually. It was recently
learned that Kraft has issued a statement where it was mentioned,
"Kraft’s recall does not include any products sold in Taco Bell
restaurants.‖ 4
That statement has the potential to harm in more way
than were probably intended. It should be noted that above I have
listed what we do know of the GM found in the Kraft distributed Taco
Bell Home Original taco shells, to further assist in the elevation of
how something like this could have occurred without going detected.
Action Taken:
The CEO, Brian Niccol, needs to make a statement in regards to this
matter. It should be mentioned that this situation is very serious and
we are taking the necessary precautions to ensure our consumers are
protected. It should be noted that something this extreme could have
gone on undetected, being that this particular GM corn strand, went
from being banned to global, and within one year, it was widely
distributed. Products might have come into contact with this stand of
"Cry9c" at some point in the production process and was not caught.
We need to ensure that Taco Bell is working more closely with Kraft
to ensure that anything with Taco Bell's name / brand attached to it,
will be monitored very closely to assure our consumers are protected.
Since working with Kraft on 8/1/1996, we have meet with Kraft
periodically to discuss quality, financial and operational matters 5
;
whereas, now, we plan to have more detailed conversations in regards
to a chemical breakdown, as well as the previously mentioned

According to the PMBOK the key to quality control is prevention
(PMBOK,
2016). With prevention in mind we can add the cost of conformance
to the budget in the
beginning. Meeting the quality requirements can lead to lower costs,
higher productivity,
profit and overall stakeholder satisfaction. Having a plan quality
management to help
identify the quality requirements (PMBOK, 2016). Performing quality
assurance will
help audit the processes that are happening to help prevent more
work, which leads to
high costs. And control quality, monitoring and documenting the
results to help with
future projects.
9. Procurement Management Plan
The decision was to buy the software for the implementation for PPM
software.
We will be using this daily, however the software will not be changed
just updated. So the
procurement will be purchasing the software with a company that has
the experience to 7 install and help train our PM’s after installation.
According to the PMBOK deciding to
do make something entirely in house, omits the procurement process.

Case Study – Whole Foods
Answer the following questions related to Case 13 in Business Ethics
in a 2-page essay:
 For many people, work is generally regarded as a daily grind—a
necessity but not a passion. Why do you think this is so? What
would it take to change that perspective?
 The CEO of Whole Foods, John Mackey, has become a role model
for conscious capitalism. He integrates his heart with his head by
developing self-awareness and emotional intelligence and by
empowering others to do the same. Without naming names or
identifying company names, describe someone you observed or
worked for who works to be this kind of role model.
 Identify three businesses that adopted conscious capitalism in
terms of how they treat their employees and other stakeholders.

Coping with Corruption in Trading with Vietnam
Corruption
FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT
tutorialoutlet
CASE 2-5 Coping with Corruption in Trading
with Vietnam Corruption is a fact of life in China. In fact,
Transparency International, a German organization that applies its
Corruption Perception
Index (CPI) globally,1 rates China with a CPI of 3.6 and is number
75
of the 183 countries rated. New Zealand is rated the least corrupt at
number 1 with a CPI of 9.5, the United States at 1924 with a CPI of
7.51, and North Korea and Somalia the most corrupt at number 182
with a CPI of 1.0. The country’s press frequently has detailed cases
of corruption and of campaigns to crack down on bribery and other
forms of corruption. The articles primarily have focused on
domestic economic crimes among Chinese citizens and on local
officials
who have been fired, sent to prison, or assessed other penalties.
There is strong evidence that the Chinese government is taking
notice and issuing regulations to fight corruption. Newly issued
Communist Party of China (CPC) regulations on internal
supervision and disciplinary penalties have raised hopes that the
new regulations will enhance efforts against corruption. The
regulations established ―10 Taboos‖ for acts of party members that
violate political, personnel, and financial regulations and who
are involved in bribery, malfeasance, and infringement of others’
rights. The taboos included lobbying officials of higher rank,
handing out pamphlets or souvenirs without authorization, holding
social activities to form cliques, and offering or taking bribes.
Also on the list were making phone calls, giving gifts, holding
banquets or conducting visits to win support, covering up illicit
activities, spreading hearsay against others, using intimidation or
deception, and arranging jobs for others. Some believe that the
execution of three bankers, for ―a run-of-the-mill fraud,‖ just
before
the Communist Party’s annual meeting, was an indication of how
serious the government was about cracking down on corruption.
Much of China’s early efforts to stem corruption were focused
on activities among domestic Chinese companies and not on
China’s foreign business community. Traders, trade consultants,
and analysts have said that foreign firms are vulnerable to a variety
of corrupt practices. Although some of these firms said they had
no experience with corruption in China, the majority said they
increasingly were asked to make payments to improve business,
engage in black-market trade of import and export licenses, and
bribe
officials to push goods through customs or the Commodity
Inspection Bureau, or engage in collusion to beat the system. The
Hong
Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption reports that
outright bribes, as well as gifts or payment to establish guanxi, or
―connections,‖ average 3 to 5 percent of operating costs in the
PRC,
or $3 billion to $5 billion of the $100 billion of foreign investments
that have been made there. The most common corrupt practices
confronting foreign companies in China are examined here.
PAYING TO IMPROVE BUSINESS
Foreign traders make several types of payments to facilitate sales
in China. The most common method is a trip abroad. Chinese
officials, who rarely have a chance to visit overseas, often prefer 1
See http://www.transparency.org for more details about its 2010
index. cat29974_case2_01-031.indd 18 foreign travel to cash or
gifts. (This was especially true when
few PRC officials had been abroad.) As a result, traders report
that dangling foreign trips in front of their PRC clients has become
a regular part of negotiating large trade deals that involve
products with a technological component. ―Foreign travel is always
the first inducement we offer,‖ said an executive involved
in machinery trade. In most cases, traders build these costs into
the product’s sale price. Some trips are ―reasonable and bona
fide expenditures directly related to the promotion, demonstration,
or explanation of products and services, or the execution
of a contract with a foreign government agency,‖ but it may be
another matter when officials on foreign junkets are offered
large per diems and aren’t invited specifically to gain technical
knowledge.
Foreign travel isn’t always an inducement—it also can be extorted.
In one case, a PRC bank branch refused to issue a letter of
credit for a machinery import deal. The Chinese customer
suggested that the foreign trader invite the bank official on an
overseas
inspection tour. Once the invitation was extended, the bank issued
the letter of credit. ANGLING FOR CASH
Some MNCs are asked to sponsor overseas education for the
children of trading officials. One person told a Chinese source that
an
MNC paid for that individual’s U.S. $1,500-a-month apartment, as
well as a car, university education, and expenses.
Firms find direct requests for cash payments—undeniably
illegal—the most difficult. One well-placed source said that a
major trader, eager for buyers in the face of an international
market glut, had fallen into regularly paying large kickbacks
into the Honduran, U.S., and Swiss accounts of officials at a
PRC foreign trade corporation. Refusing to make payments
may not only hurt sales, it can also be terrifying. A U.S. firm
was one of several bidders for a large sale; a Chinese official
demanded the MNC pay a 3 percent kickback. When the company
representative refused, the official threatened: ―You had
better not say anything about this. You still have to do business

PM 430 PPM Project
FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT
tutorialoutlet
1. PPM Project Name: The project portfolio management (PPM)
software tool project and the strategic planning
software tool project
A. Project objective
The project portfolio management (PPM) software tool and the
strategic planning software tool
projects are two very important projects to this organization.
They are highly related, and as such, they will be
run simultaneously. The main objective of having these two
projects is to ensure that all planning activities
within the organization are as effective as possible. More often,
organizations tend to have so many planning
activities running at the same time. Developing a software tool
that can put all these activities in order is
therefore crucial to making sure that all these activities serve
their intended purpose. Once the projects are
implemented, costs associated with planning will be reduced
significantly. Additionally, all activities will be
running according to plan.
B. Major Tasks
In order to successfully implement the PPM project and the
strategic planning software tool project,
there are a number of tasks that are deemed important. These
tasks are dependent on each other, such that
task 1 leads to task 2 and so on and so forth. These include the
following;
1. Task 1: Getting the PPM project ready
2. Task 2: Creating the planning Software tool platform
3. Task 3: Execute both project simultaneously
4. Task 4: Manage the projects
5. Task 5: Conduct an end of project assessment and write a
report.
C. Risks
Risks are part and parcel of every project. It is important to note
that running two projects
simultaneously means that the likelihood of a risk occurring
increases. As such, it is important to prepare for
such risks lest they jeopardize the goals and objectives of the
project. The following are some of the risks that
are most likely to occur during the execution of the project
portfolio management (PPM) software tool project
and the strategic planning software tool project:
1. Risk 1: The risk of having a Technological failure
2. Risk 2: The risk of cost management where the costs
forecasted are inaccurate. References

Leverage technology and measure success ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ the Bloch Museum of Fine Art (BMFA) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT tutorialoutlet Your position You have been hired as a marketing consultant for the Bloch Museum of Fine Art (BMFA), a small modern art museum in the town of Arkham (population: 25,000). The museum’s mission is ―to display, promote, and foster awareness and appreciation of contemporary art from around the globe‖. Though relatively new (the facility opened in 2000), BMFA wants to expand its services to include educational programs, outreach offerings, and at least one major festival event that would appeal to residents and tourists within a 100-mile radius. About BMFA and its community BMFA is affiliated with Miskatonic University, which enrolls approximately 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Unlike many other museums linked to universities, though, BMFA is privately funded, with its own board of directors and staff. Miskatonic University provides in-kind support via building and grounds maintenance. It also covers the cost of the museum’s utilities. Although both the town of Arkham and Miskatonic University are small, they contain progressive, artssavvy populations. Recent BMFA exhibitions by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami and US-based Jenny
  • 6. Holzer have been immensely popular with students, faculty, and the broader community. Given Arkham’s mountainside location, the community often includes large numbers of tourists — both during the winter when nearby ski lodges are full, and during the summer, when many urbanites visit Arkham to escape the city heat. However, BMFA hasn’t done an especially good job of drawing those tourists to the museum. BMFA programming To date, the bulk of BMFA’s programming has been limited to the most basic museum activities: ● Displaying a portion of BMFA’s permanent collection, which generally dates from 1970 or later; ● Displaying one special collection or solo show in a well-positioned gallery near the museum entrance; ● Occasional tours for university and high school students, led by a corps of eager docents; and, ● Renting the venue for weddings and other private parties. BMFA has little to no track record producing educational programs for k-12 students, enrichment programs for adults, or other offerings that engage the public. Your job While enthusiasm for the museum was strong at first, it has slowly begun to wane. The board have been good stewards of early donations, setting up a sizable endowment, but as publicity has diminished and BMFA’s newness has worn off, revenue from grants has dropped. Attendance is down, too. Frankly, rentals are the only thing keeping the doors open. To avoid dipping into its endowment to pay staff salaries and other operating costs, the board of directors know that BMFA must boost its income. Based on internal and community assessments, they have concluded that the two best ways to meet revenue goals are to:
  • 7. ● Add educational activities for students at all levels (kindergarten through college), and, ● Create an annual special event, such as a biennial or other arts-related festival. Admittedly, educational activities won’t generate much earned revenue (though some is possible if there’s a charge for workshops), but they will definitely make the museum more competitive in the grants arena. The board have retained an elementary/secondary education specialist to build the educational activities for K-12 students, but they want you to take the lead in conceiving outreach activities for university students, adult residents, and tourists. These might include lectures, film screenings, and other arts activities that contain educational elements — whatever you think might appeal to those markets. On the other hand, the special event/festival should raise a significant amount of earned revenue (its goal is $250,000) through a tiered series of events. Though the nature and format of the festival is left to your judgment, the board would like to see a range of offerings that appeal to all income brackets, from low-cost concerts to an opening night gala with a silent auction and tickets that start at $250 per person. Keep in mind that the museum has a budget of just $30,000 and limited staff to carry out your plans. The board can certainly be counted on for some assistance, but they will be better at securing sponsorships and selling tickets to their friends than setting up buffet tables and working bars. The museum does have a well-designed website that draws a substantial number of viewers, as well as an email list of 10,000 subscribers, which includes a substantial number of Miskatonic alumni. Your goals Please submit your recommendations to the board in the following format: » Two educational programs—one geared toward university students, and one geared toward the general public. Describe each program in
  • 8. detail, and explain why you think it would attract the audience in question. » One special event that incorporates elements for children, young adults, and older adults from widely varying backgrounds. (Don’t forget tourists!) Describe the event in detail, and explain why you think it will attract the audiences in question. Include prices in your description, to demonstrate the event’s appeal to people across the economic spectrum. » Discuss your marketing plan for each of the three events. Be sure to discuss publicity (e.g. your goals for editorial coverage, interviews, media sponsorships, social media, influencer outreach, email blasts, etc.) and advertising efforts (e.g. direct mail, radio spots, etc.). Above all, please include a timeline for accomplishing these tasks. A suggested format might be: Program #1: Publicity: Advertising: Timeline: And so on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ the ethical considerations inherent in sharing health data FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT tutorialoutlet Post a brief explanation of what you consider to be the ethical considerations inherent in sharing health data.

Amazon has decided to launch a new line of products in the automotive industry. Our new product is called ―Oil Easy‖. Basically the product is a plastic adapter that would fit on a plastic oil container. This adapter would then screw onto the container and would control the flow of the oil into your car. There would be a ball valve in the middle of the adapter which would control the flow of oil and allow for a little or a lot to come out depending on the need. It could also be used on other fluids your car would need like anti-freeze or windshield washing fluid. It comes in 3 pieces that all screw together and eventually comes in various sizes based on consumer need. Create a 500-600 word report and include the following information:  -Develop at least one question for each characteristic of the target market (demographic, geographic, psychographic, and behavioral) that will be important for you as you determine the marketing strategy for this new product.  -Recommend the best methods of conducting marketing research to answer these questions. Be sure to include why you chose these particular methods. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • 10. Introduction Organizational theory FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT tutorialoutlet Introduction Organizational theory, which draws on many disciplines, is a tough subject and it is reasonable to ask why it is important enough to take the time to become familiar with it. Knowledge of organizational theory is important because it: (1) makes organizations more understandable; (2) reveals how authority and decision making are organized and distributed; (3) explains why some police departments are less or more open to change and innovation; (4) makes assumptions, one way or another, about followers; (5) incorporates notions about the environments that the police department faces (e.g., political and legal) and how these can impinge on the department; and (6) provides an essential tool for leaders in deciding how the work will be processed and the structure and relationship of the work units needed to accomplish it. Formal Organizations Formal organizations are not a recent innovation.1 Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar used them to conquer, the pharaohs employed them to build pyramids, the emperors of China constructed great irrigation systems with them, and the first popes created an organization to deliver religion on a worldwide basis.2 The extent to which contemporary America is an organizational society is such that we are born in organizations, educated by organizations, and spend most of our lives working for organizations. We spend much of our time … playing and praying in organizations. Most of us will die in an organization and when the time comes for burial, the largest organization of all—the state—must grant official permission.3 The basic rationale for the existence of organizations is that they do those things that people are unwilling or unable to do alone. Parsons notes that organizations are distinguished from other human groupings or social units in that, to a much greater degree, they are constructed and reconstructed to achieve specific goals; corporations,
  • 11. armies, hospitals, and police departments are included within this meaning, whereas families and friendship groups are not.4 Schein defines an organization as the rational coordination of the activities of a number of people for the achievement of some common explicit purpose or goal, through division of labor and function and a hierarchy of authority and responsibility.5 Blau and Scott identify four types of formal organizations by asking the question of cui bono, or who benefits: (1) mutual benefit associations, such as police labor unions, where the primary beneficiary is the membership; (2) business concerns, such as Lynn Peavey, which sells crime scene equipment and supplies, where the owner is the prime beneficiary; (3) service organizations, such as community mental health centers, where a specific client group is the prime beneficiary; and (4)commonweal organizations, such as the Department of Defense and law enforcement agencies, where the beneficiary is the public at large.6 Each of these four types of formal organizations has its own central issues.7 Mutual benefit associations, such as police unions, face the crucial problem of maintaining the internal democratic processes— providing for participation and control by their membership. For businesses, the central issue is maximizing profits in a competitive environment. Service organizations are faced with the conflict between administrative regulations and provision of the services judged by the professional to be most appropriate. In the case of a community mental health center, an illustration is that, following a reduction in funding, a regulation is placed into effect that requires all clients to be treated in group sessions when the psychiatric social worker believes the only effective treatment for a particular client is to be seen individually. The key issue for law enforcement agencies and other types of commonweal organizations is finding a way to accommodate pressures from two sources: (1) external democratic control and (2) internal control. The public expects to have external democratic control of its police department through its elected and appointed representatives. This external democratic control feature also has the expectation that the internal workings of the police department will be effective and efficient, but not also democratic. This is because
  • 12. democratic control by the members of a police department would inevitably lead to the department being in conflict at various times with the will of the community (e.g., one favoring a hard-line approach to crime control versus the other being in favor of a more moderate approach). Internally, large numbers of officers at the lower levels of the police department do not want to be treated like ―cogs in a machine‖ and desire some voice in how the department operates. Thus, the challenge for police managers is how to maintain an organization that meets society’s needs and the needs of the officers who work in it. This requires an understanding of such things as the different ways of organizing and the contrasting assumptions that various organizational forms make about the nature of people. Such knowledge is found within organizational theory. Traditional Organizational Theory Traditional theory is associated with organizations described as classical, mechanistic, and closed systems, which assume little influence from outside of the organization. Its underlying assumption is that there is one best way to structure and operate an organization. This body of knowledge evolved over centuries and crystallized between 1900 and the 1950s. The three branches or stems of traditional organizational theory are (1) scientific management, (2) the bureaucratic model, and (3) administrative, or management, theory. Taylor: Scientific Management The father of scientific management is Frederick W. Taylor (1856– 1915), and the thrust of his thinking was to find the ―one best way‖ to do work (see Figure 5.1). In addition to its status as a theory of work organization, Taylor’s scientific management is a theory of motivation in its belief that employees will be guided in their actions by what is in their economic self-interest. A Pennsylvanian born of Quaker–Puritan parents, Taylor was so discontented with the ―evils‖ of waste and slothfulness that he applied the same careful analysis to finding the best way of playing croquet and of taking a cross-country walk with the least fatigue that was to be the hallmark of his later work in factories.8 From 1878 to 1890, Taylor worked at the Midvale Steel Company in Philadelphia, rising
  • 13. from the ranks of the laborers to chief engineer in just 6 years.9 Taylor’s experience at Midvale gave him insight into the twin problems of productivity and worker motivation. He saw workers as deliberately restricting productivity by ―natural soldiering‖ and ―systematic soldiering.‖ Natural soldiering came from the natural inclination of employees not to push themselves;systematic soldiering came from workers not wanting to produce so much as to see their quotas raised or other workers thrown out of their jobs.10 To correct these deficiencies, Taylor called for a ―complete mental revolution‖11 on the part of both workers and managers, although it is certain that he faulted management more for its failure to design jobs properly and to give workers the proper economic incentives to overcome soldiering than he did workers for not producing.12 Taylor’s scientific management is only loosely a theory of organization because its focus was largely on work at the bottom part of the organization rather than being a general model. Scientific management’s method was to find the most physically and timeefficient way to sequence tasks and then to use rigorous and extensive controls to enforce the standards. Taylor’s conversation with ―Schmidt‖ illustrates this: Schmidt, you can keep making $1.15 a day like the rest of these workers or you can be a high price man and make $1.85 each and every day. Do you want to be a high price man?‖ o ―Vell yes, I vant to be high price man.‖ ―Good. When this man tells you to load pig iron on the car, you walk, pick up the pig and load it exactly like he tells you. Rest when he tells you to and never give him any backtalk. That’s what a high price man does.‖ ―I vant to be a high price man and vill do what this man tells me.‖13 For Taylor, authority was based not on position in a hierarchy but rather on knowledge; functional supervision meant that people were responsible for directing certain tasks, despite the fact that this meant the authority of the supervisor might cut across organizational lines.14 The exception principle meant that routine matters should be
  • 14. handled by lower-level managers or by supervisors and that higherlevel managers should only receive reports of deviations above or below standard performances.15 The integration of cost accounting into the planning process became part of some budgeting practices treated in Chapter 12, Financial Management. Despite the success of scientific management in raising productivity and cutting costs, ―Taylorism‖ was attacked from a variety of quarters. Union leaders saw it as a threat to their movement because it seemed to reduce, if not eliminate, the importance of unions. The management of Bethlehem Steel ultimately abandoned task management, as Taylor liked to refer to his system, because managers were uncomfortable with such an accurate appraisal of their performance16 and some liberals saw it as an exploitation of workers. Upton Sinclair, one of the muckrakers (SeeChapter 1, Evolution of Police Administration) charged that Taylor had given workers a 61 percent increase in wages while getting a 362 percent increase in productivity.17 Taylor replied to this charge by saying that employees worked no harder, only more efficiently. In hearings before the U.S. House of Representatives in 1912, Taylor’s methods were attacked thoroughly, and he died 3 years later a discouraged man. Nonetheless, Henry Ford recast scientific management and used it to increase production and lower costs for the mass-produced Model T Ford (1909–1927). Scientific management did not disappear with Taylor, however. There remained a core of people devoted to its practice, including Henry L. Gantt (1861–1919); Watlington Emerson (1853–1931), also a promoter of the staff concept; Frank (1868–1924) and Lillian (1878–1972) Gilbreth; and Morris Cooke (1872–1960), who in Our Cities Awake (1918) called for the application of scientific management in municipal government. Gantt gained a measure of immortality by developing a basic planning chart, illustrated in Figure 5.2, which remains in wide use today and still bears his name. Developed during the summer of 1917 while Gantt worked at the Frankford Arsenal, the Gantt chart contained the then-revolutionary idea that the key factor in planning production was not quantity but time.18 Some
  • 15. international interest in scientific management also remained after Taylor’s death; in 1918, France’s Ministry of War called for the application of scientific management, as did Lenin in an article in Pravda.19 It is, of course, ironic that a communist society should call for the use of a management system based on the principle that economic self-interest guides the behavior of workers. Although scientific management has long since ceased to be a dominant force, it does not mean that it is all history. In addition to Gantt charts, many of the techniques associated with scientific management remain in use. Time and motion studies have been used to analyze how detectives use their time, identifying wasteful activities such as waiting for a vehicle to become available at the motor pool. Work-flow analysis (depicted in Figure 5.3) remains used in industrial engineering. Other modern successors to scientific management were developed during World War II to support the war effort, and the refinement and more general application of these techniques is a post-1945 movement. The new techniques have alternatively been referred to as management science and operations research (OR), and their central orientation has been the application of quantitative and technical analysis to decision making.20 Thus, the most enduring image of Taylor is as a promoter of both rationalization in organizations and management control systems.21 In 1997, Taylor’s The Principles of Scientific Management (1911) was re-released due to continuing interest in his methods and Kanigel wrote a balanced criticism of Taylor’s work,22 as did Caldari in 2007.23 Read together, they serve to essentially rehabilitate both Taylor’s work and his reputation. Weber: The Bureaucratic Model In popular use, bureaucracy has come to mean slow, unnecessarily complicated procedures with answers that don’t seem to quite meet our needs.24 This meaning is far from the image of the ideal or pure bureaucracy developed by the towering German intellect Max Weber (1864–1920), the founder of modern sociology (see Figure 5.4). For Weber, the choice was ―only between bureaucracy and dilettantism in the field of administration.‖25 In this regard, Weber claimed that the pure bureaucratic model was superior
  • 16. to all other methods of organizing with respect to efficiency, control, and stability.26 With some added commentary, Weber’s pure bureaucratic model of organizational structure included the following characteristics: 1. The organization of offices follows the principle of hierarchy; that is, each lower office is under the control and supervision of a higher one. This arrangement of successively higher offices creates ―layers‖ in a police department; the greater the number of layers, the more vertical complexity a department has. Hierarchy also provides the ―vertical highways‖ that establish reporting relationships, as well as formal communication channels. 2. There is a right of appeal and of statement of grievances from the lower to the higher offices. 3. Specified areas of competence, meaning a division of labor, exist. This division of labor or specialization increases the width and horizontal complexity of law enforcement agencies. The greater the amount of specialization in organizations, the more organizations grow vertically to have the ability to coordinate the different units. 4. Official duties are bound by a system of rational rules, such as policies and procedures. 5. Administrative acts, decisions, and rules are recorded in writing, creating an institutional memory. 6. The authority associated with a position is the property of the office or job and not of the occupant of the position. 7. Employees are appointed on the basis of qualifications, and specialized training is necessary. 8. Organizational members do not own it.27 Although not all the characteristics of Weber’s bureaucratic model can be revealed by an organizational chart, Figure 5.5 does depict two important features: (1) the principle of hierarchy and (2) a division of labor that results in specialization. Weber’s bureaucratic model rested on what he called rational-legal authority.28 In a police context, rational legal authority rests on the legal basis for the existence of the department. Authority is granted to positions within the organization, such as sergeants, lieutenants, and captains, who use that authority to fulfill their responsibilities and to
  • 17. accomplish the goals of the department (seeFigure 5.6). Bureaucracy and Decision Space Although there may have been a few stray exceptions, police departments for centuries have used the bureaucratic form of organization and continue to do so. While clinging, like the majority of organizations in the world, to the structure of the bureaucratic organizational model, police departments have substantially dropped new processes over it to: (1) attract new generations of officers with expectations different than their predecessors; (2) shift from an almost singular focus on internal administration, such as control, to empowering employees; (3) foster collaboration with constituents; (4) implement new operational philosophies (e.g., community- and intelligence-led policing); (5) employ new models of leadership; (6) operate with greater openness, producing more transparency of administration and operations in the community; (7) increase workforce diversity; (8) use new technologies (e.g. texting, Facebook, and Twitter); and (9) be more nimble in responding to emergent conditions and issues. Many law enforcement agencies have rapidly moved into egovernment,29 facilitating the use of government services on-line. The Springfield (Missouri) Police Department’s website allows citizens to obtain crime maps of their neighborhoods, search police reports, request copies of traffic accident and incident reports, locate the residence of sexual offenders, and file a complaint against or extend recognition to officers. As a result, this ―reformatted bureaucracy‖ falls into the broad category of neoclassical organization theory, meaning taking a fresh perspective on traditional organizational theory. More specifically, the reformatted bureaucratic organization model has also been labeled neoWeberian.30 The shift from the pure bureaucratic model to the neoWeberian accompanies the rise in the management concept of the new public management (NPM), which began in the 1980s. At its core, NPM called for the use of private sector approaches in public organizations (e.g., creating productivity gains, getting citizens involved, and outsourcing services if it can be done cheaper and as
  • 18. well or better than when using public funds). A 2007 study of 304 California law enforcement agencies in cities identified as immigrant destinations illustrates the neoclassical bureaucratic organizational model.31 Illegal immigration provides a backdrop to contrast classical and neoclassical law enforcement agencies. Illegal immigration is a ―hot button‖ issue. American nativists are staunchly anti-immigration on any basis. Others support immigration reform as long as there is no amnesty, while a liberal immigration reform law will have some support as well. Arizona chose to enact a stringent law aimed at identifying, prosecuting, and deporting illegal immigrants (see Figure 5.7), the lone state to have done so. Elsewhere, if law enforcement agencies were simply classical bureaucratic organizations, they would arrest all violators of immigration laws that come to their attention. However, many law enforcement agencies, often without any direction from city hall have chosen not to cooperate with federal authorities in rounding up illegal immigrants. These neoclassical agencies recognize that actively seeking out and enforcing federal immigration laws will dry up support and information needed to investigate traditional state and local laws. It is a practical stance; in some cities non-citizens account for half of the foreign born residents.32 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GBA 300 Form a 500 word minimum response FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT tutorialoutlet Action Recommended: We need to begin taking the necessary steps to ensure that the brand Taco Bell doesn't suffer a huge loss individually.

In fact, Transparency International, a German organization that applies its Corruption Perception Index (CPI) globally,1 rates China with a CPI of 3.6 and is number 75 of the 183 countries rated. New Zealand is rated the least corrupt at number 1 with a CPI of 9.5, the United States at 1924 with a CPI of 7.51, and North Korea and Somalia the most corrupt at number 182 with a CPI of 1.0. The country’s press frequently has detailed cases of corruption and of campaigns to crack down on bribery and other forms of corruption. The articles primarily have focused on domestic economic crimes among Chinese citizens and on local officials who have been fired, sent to prison, or assessed other penalties. There is strong evidence that the Chinese government is taking notice and issuing regulations to fight corruption. Newly issued Communist Party of China (CPC) regulations on internal supervision and disciplinary penalties have raised hopes that the
  • 29. new regulations will enhance efforts against corruption. The regulations established ―10 Taboos‖ for acts of party members that violate political, personnel, and financial regulations and who are involved in bribery, malfeasance, and infringement of others’ rights. The taboos included lobbying officials of higher rank, handing out pamphlets or souvenirs without authorization, holding social activities to form cliques, and offering or taking bribes. Also on the list were making phone calls, giving gifts, holding banquets or conducting visits to win support, covering up illicit activities, spreading hearsay against others, using intimidation or deception, and arranging jobs for others. Some believe that the execution of three bankers, for ―a run-of-the-mill fraud,‖ just before the Communist Party’s annual meeting, was an indication of how serious the government was about cracking down on corruption. Much of China’s early efforts to stem corruption were focused on activities among domestic Chinese companies and not on China’s foreign business community. Traders, trade consultants, and analysts have said that foreign firms are vulnerable to a variety of corrupt practices. Although some of these firms said they had no experience with corruption in China, the majority said they increasingly were asked to make payments to improve business, engage in black-market trade of import and export licenses, and bribe officials to push goods through customs or the Commodity Inspection Bureau, or engage in collusion to beat the system. The Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption reports that outright bribes, as well as gifts or payment to establish guanxi, or ―connections,‖ average 3 to 5 percent of operating costs in the PRC, or $3 billion to $5 billion of the $100 billion of foreign investments that have been made there. The most common corrupt practices confronting foreign companies in China are examined here. PAYING TO IMPROVE BUSINESS Foreign traders make several types of payments to facilitate sales in China. The most common method is a trip abroad. Chinese
  • 30. officials, who rarely have a chance to visit overseas, often prefer 1 See http://www.transparency.org for more details about its 2010 index. cat29974_case2_01-031.indd 18 foreign travel to cash or gifts. (This was especially true when few PRC officials had been abroad.) As a result, traders report that dangling foreign trips in front of their PRC clients has become a regular part of negotiating large trade deals that involve products with a technological component. ―Foreign travel is always the first inducement we offer,‖ said an executive involved in machinery trade. In most cases, traders build these costs into the product’s sale price. Some trips are ―reasonable and bona fide expenditures directly related to the promotion, demonstration, or explanation of products and services, or the execution of a contract with a foreign government agency,‖ but it may be another matter when officials on foreign junkets are offered large per diems and aren’t invited specifically to gain technical knowledge. Foreign travel isn’t always an inducement—it also can be extorted. In one case, a PRC bank branch refused to issue a letter of credit for a machinery import deal. The Chinese customer suggested that the foreign trader invite the bank official on an overseas inspection tour. Once the invitation was extended, the bank issued the letter of credit. ANGLING FOR CASH Some MNCs are asked to sponsor overseas education for the children of trading officials. One person told a Chinese source that an MNC paid for that individual’s U.S. $1,500-a-month apartment, as well as a car, university education, and expenses. Firms find direct requests for cash payments—undeniably illegal—the most difficult. One well-placed source said that a major trader, eager for buyers in the face of an international market glut, had fallen into regularly paying large kickbacks into the Honduran, U.S., and Swiss accounts of officials at a PRC foreign trade corporation. Refusing to make payments may not only hurt sales, it can also be terrifying. A U.S. firm was one of several bidders for a large sale; a Chinese official
  • 31. demanded the MNC pay a 3 percent kickback. When the company representative refused, the official threatened: ―You had better not say anything about this. You still have to do business ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PM 430 PPM Project FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT tutorialoutlet 1. PPM Project Name: The project portfolio management (PPM) software tool project and the strategic planning software tool project A. Project objective The project portfolio management (PPM) software tool and the strategic planning software tool projects are two very important projects to this organization. They are highly related, and as such, they will be run simultaneously. The main objective of having these two projects is to ensure that all planning activities within the organization are as effective as possible. More often, organizations tend to have so many planning activities running at the same time. Developing a software tool that can put all these activities in order is therefore crucial to making sure that all these activities serve their intended purpose. Once the projects are implemented, costs associated with planning will be reduced significantly. Additionally, all activities will be running according to plan. B. Major Tasks In order to successfully implement the PPM project and the strategic planning software tool project, there are a number of tasks that are deemed important. These tasks are dependent on each other, such that task 1 leads to task 2 and so on and so forth. These include the following; 1. Task 1: Getting the PPM project ready 2. Task 2: Creating the planning Software tool platform
  • 32. 3. Task 3: Execute both project simultaneously 4. Task 4: Manage the projects 5. Task 5: Conduct an end of project assessment and write a report. C. Risks Risks are part and parcel of every project. It is important to note that running two projects simultaneously means that the likelihood of a risk occurring increases. As such, it is important to prepare for such risks lest they jeopardize the goals and objectives of the project. The following are some of the risks that are most likely to occur during the execution of the project portfolio management (PPM) software tool project and the strategic planning software tool project: 1. Risk 1: The risk of having a Technological failure 2. Risk 2: The risk of cost management where the costs forecasted are inaccurate. References Badewi, A. (2016).
