Burberry historically offshored and out-licensed its value infrastructure due to lower costs in other countries. However, Burberry has recently reshored some operations due to rising costs abroad and a desire to focus on quality control. Burberry's strategy has evolved from offshoring to gain cost savings to reshoring certain functions to improve oversight and brand consistency as globalization allows for more flexible manufacturing and sourcing options.

The stated goal of the audit is to provide the citizens of the city with assurance that the city’s resources are being managed in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. The information presented in this audit report was compiled from data found in public records, transaction and management databases used by municipal software applications, and personal interviews of city employees. The data was reviewed for consistency and compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for state and local governments. Analysis of the data was then conducted to determine where opportunities for improved efficiencies exist. The result of the audit can be found below. It includes specific findings by city department, supporting tables, and general recommendations.City Departments Public Safety (Police and Fire) The analysis of the personnel expenditures of both public safety agencies found that overall costs can be reduced by hiring additional police officers and firefighters. Calculations to support this conclusion can be found in Table 1 below. The current spending on overtime warrants the net addition of two police officers and one firefighter in fiscal year 2019. The population growth of the city is noted, and as such, additional hires should be anticipated in each of the following two years. The hires required to maintain proper personnel levels in the police force and fire department will be financially covered by the expected increase in city tax revenue commensurate with the population growth. Utilities The acquisition of smart electricity meters has continued at a steady pace throughout 2018. We observed delays in the installation and proper configuration of the smart meters, which causes unnecessary inconvenience for citizens. The city personnel tasked with the implementation of the smart meters has not received sufficient training to complete the project within the allotted time frame. The utility department should organize additional training sessions for the two supervisors so that they may in turn train their employees. This training is to focus on efficient installation of the meters and connection of the meters to the central utility computer system. Until such training is completed, it is not advisable to continue installation of the new meters to avoid disruptions and costly rework. Waste Management The Waste Management Department has not made any plans to address the city’s landfill capacity. The landfill is expected to reach its designed capacity in Q2, 2020. Several.

Word limit is 650, must be in APA format, citations and references Consider this hypothetical situation: David Doe is a network administrator for the ABC Company. David is passed over for promotion three times. He is quite vocal in his dissatisfaction with this situation. In fact, he begins to express negative opinions about the organization in general. Eventually, David quits and begins his own consulting business. Six months after David’s departure, it is discovered that a good deal of the ABC Company’s research has suddenly been duplicated by a competitor. Executives at ABC suspect that David Doe has done some consulting work for this competitor and may have passed on sensitive data. However, in the interim since David left, his computer has been formatted and reassigned to another person. ABC has no evidence that David Doe did anything wrong. What steps might have been taken to detect David’s alleged industrial espionage? What steps might have been taken to prevent his perpetrating such an offense? .

Word Count: ca. 1500 words. Times New Roman, double-spaced, size 12. Citations : Chicago Manual Style Description : In this assignment, you are asked to analyze a selection of primary sources (historical documents) pertaining to the events of the First World War. In these sources, different authors with different backgrounds (nationality, class, gender, profession, and age) speak to you about their experiences and perceptions during World War I (1914-1918). Objective : Compare and contrast these primary sources, bringing them into a larger meaningful context. When comparing and contrasting, you could focus on these questions: How do the experiences that soldiers and civilians made during WWI differ from one another; how are they similar? How do you explain discernable differences or similarities ? Your job is to analytically compare and contrast the sources , not to summarize them. Make sure you structure your essay coherently. Clearly outline in your introduction the argument you intend to pursue in your paper. In your main body, use single paragraphs for single points (i.e. don’t discuss multiple ideas in one paragraph). In your conclusion, finally, sum up your main argument. You do not have to use any sources other than the ones provided. You are welcome to refer to others, such as from the textbook or any other source that you find appropriate. This is not a research paper, however, and you will not get a higher mark simply for using additional sources. For direct quotations, use quotation marks. For direct quotations and paraphrases, you must use a citation (footnote). For this assignment, we can use simplified footnotes, i.e. simply state the name of the author and title of the document. For page numbers just use the page number of THIS document (I realize this is somewhat arbitrary…). Example: Nicholas II, Imperial Manifesto, p. 2. Put the simplified bibliography at the end of your essay. Use the same format as in your footnotes (name of author, source). For questions, send me an email or visit the WLC.

Woolworths’ Corporate Responsibility Strategy This activity is important because as a manager, you must be able to recognize doing good as it pertains to your business. To do this, you must have an understanding of the ethical, social responsibility, and sustainability issues around the world. The goal of this exercise is to demonstrate your understanding of the dilemmas businesses face as they pursue social responsibility initiatives. Identifying the correct course of action is a complex task that often lacks a clear direction. Read the case and answer the questions that follow. The Woolworths Group (woolworthsgroup.com.au) is an Australian conglomerate corporation founded in 1924. The headquarters is in Bella Vista in New South Wales. Colloquially known as “Woolies,” the company has extensive retail interests in the Oceania region, particularly in Australia and New Zealand, but it also has a foothold in India. The Woolworths Group consists of three core businesses (Woolworths Food Group, Endeavour Drinks, and Portfolio Businesses); employs more than 200,000 people; and has revenue of about 60 billion Australian dollars, or 46 billion in U.S. dollars. Across the three core businesses, Woolworths has 13 different business subsidiaries. Integrating these 13 subsidiaries into a corporate social responsibility program is a challenge for a company with more than 200,000 employees and diverse interests. To accomplish its objective, Woolworths Group’s Corporate Responsibility Strategy 2020 identifies 20 corporate responsibility and sustainability goals that the company plans to implement by the year 2020. These goals cover a broad range of Woolworths’ stakeholders (e.g., customers, team members, suppliers, and local communities in which Woolworths operates). Woolworths’ Corporate Responsibility Strategy is based on a framework of People, Planet, and Prosperity. The focus on People is about encouraging diversity. The target goals include striving for gender equity by targeting at least 40 percent of executive and senior manager positions to be held by women. Woolworths is also setting a goal of no salary wage gap between male and female employees of equivalent positions at all levels of the company. And rooted in Australian business, the company is embracing diversity by increasing the number of Indigenous employees in line with the company’s stated commitments under the Australian Federal Government’s Employment Parity Initiative. The focus on the Planet includes two major initiatives. Woolworths is working toward zero food waste going to landfills. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 20 percent of what goes into municipal landfills is food. Woolworths is also trying to reduce its carbon emissions or footprint by 10 percent. Many of our daily activities (e.g., using electricity, driving a car, or disposing of waste) cause greenhouse gas emissions. A carbon footprint is defined as the total set of greenhouse gas emissions cause.
