Customer Service And An Organization
Many companies continuously fail in customer service satisfaction for many reasons. As service
failures are inevitable, it is important for companies, especially small businesses, to capitalize on
learning the importance of reducing service failure. Just as the seed is the core of the fruit, customer
service is the core of an organization; its meaning is the primary function for organizations to retain
business and discover new ventures. Customer service is the primary source of business–to–
customer communication and in many ways, handles company issues via phone, email or on site.
Without customer service, it would be extremely difficult for organizations to operate or survive
effectively.
Companies that provide exceptional customer service skills are more likely to have repeat business
from customers. As stated in the article, Customer Service and Its Importance In the Clinical
Laboratory, providing excellent service consists of the following components: listen, understand,
respect the need for the request, respond, ask if there is anything else you can do, always remain
friendly, courteous, and professional (Anderson, 2008). People that have one or more positive
experiences with a company will share their experience about that company with others, which will
increase business to that company. This is a way of promotion for the organization. More
companies, especially small investments, should focus on providing great service to its customers

The Secret Of Japan 's Success
Around sixty years ago the United States was the world leader in manufacturing. They led the
frontier in production after World War II when they converted all the facilities they had used to
produce war machines into factories for cars and other domestic products. However, in the past few
decades a new company has risen up and passed the United States on the leaderboard for most
successful manufacturing capabilities. Ironically, this company is Japan, the company whose
economy was completely destroyed by the United States during World War II. With its economy
completely wiped out, Japan had nothing to lose in trying out a new cost management strategy that
was actually designed by an American that had actually been laughed out of the United States for his
ideas. Japan gave this man's methods a shot, and they are now currently more profitable than the
majority of United States based companies. The secret to Japan's success lies in two areas, one being
the way Japan goes about cost management, and the second being how they train and manage their
employees. If the United States were to modify their business's to follow Japanese businesses in
these two aspects they would see much higher profitability. Unfortunately, they do not comprehend
how these two aspects create such a difference in profitability, which is why it is important to
properly understand that. The biggest problem in American businesses is that they do not understand

The case of ATH is centered on management taking particular strategic paths in order to achieve the

Beginning with the strategy of acquiring market share, Scepter implemented very attractive
(personal) incentives in order to achieve this goal. These "earn out" incentives did indeed push for
innovation, growth and market segment but it didn't put any controls on the amount of spending,
thus ultimately leading to major losses. The incentives focused more on personal gain i.e.: "Make

It would have been good if this fundamental vision was in place right at the very beginning of the
company's formation. In the end it is the customers that make the company, so it makes sense to
work towards satisfying this customer relationship. To become profitable and achieve market share
are secondary objective that can be measured on a annual basis and overall company well being
targets can be rewarded with incentives that link into the company's performance as opposed to
individual contribution to the company's success.
Instead of jumping to different achievement goals as problems arise, the visions and beliefs should
have been determined first and that would help shape the overall goal of the company. While
working towards goals such as profitability and growth, the visions and beliefs help keep employees
in line and to some extent control the minimum expectations of the development of products, thus
possibly lessen or avoid problems that did arise. The incentive scheme were not properly designed
to take into account effects of employee actions and the impact it would have on the company as a
whole and other stakeholders. It should some what reflect and reiterate these visions instead of

Diversification And Diversification Into The New Markets...
Diversification is entering the new markets with new products and different from those in which the
firm is currently engaged in. It is helpful to divide diversification into 'related' diversification and
'unrelated' diversification. Related diversification is when a business adds or expands its existing
product markets. The company starts manufacturing a new product or through new market related to
its business activity. For example, a phone company that adds or expands its wireless products or
services by purchasing another wireless company is engaging in related diversification. Under
related diversification, companies want to make easier the consumption of its products by producing
complementing goods or offering complementing services. In a related diversification the resulting
combined business should able to improve return on investment (ROI) because of increased
revenues, decrease costs and reduced investment.

One commonly found resource that is exportable is a strong established brand name like Coca–Cola,
Microsoft, Pepsi, BMW and others. For example, Coca–Cola spent $4.1 billion to acquire Glaceau,

Timken
Executive Summary
From our DCF calculations, the value of Torrington as a stand–alone entity is $1.181 billion.
However, the maximum purchase price for Torrington should only be $641 million. The optimum
debt amount for this transaction would be $301 million. This amount of debt would result in a total
debt to capital ratio for Torrington of 47%, within the range for a BBB "investment grade" debt
rating. The combined entities, Torrington–Timken, would produce an interest coverage ratio of 3.2,
and a debt ratio of 45%, again within the range for a BBB "debt rating. The purchase would likely
be a cash transaction.

in our calculations, as this company exhibited dramatic value differences to others in the sample,
(likely to skew our results and prove misleading). Using the average of the revised sample field for
each ratio, we inserted Torrington's values where appropriate to generate an entity value. The
findings generated two values for Torrington, 606 million and 398 million. Taking the average of
these two numbers, Torrington exhibited a relative value of 502.41 million. Because of the lack of
related information given in the case, and the often large differences in measures amongst
competitors, different capital structures, internal management strategies, there remained many
unknowns in our model. We decided it would be best to use this valuation to reaffirm our
assumptions in our DCF valuation. (Please see exhibits)
DCF Model Based on information given, we established the free cash flows from operations for
Torrington, for the period 1999 to 2007. We made the assumption that net working capital was 7%
of sales for Torrington, based on historic patterns. From this assumption, we found "Change in Net
Working Capital" for the selected years. Next, we chose a value for "Capital Expenditures", again
based on historic patterns. From this we computed the "Free Cash Flows to the Firm".

Narrative For The Timken Company Valuation Of Acquisition...
Narrative for the Timken Company Valuation of Acquisition of Torrington
The first step in completing this case study was to determine what hypothesis needed to be tested.
We came up with the following six questions that needed to be answered in our research and
calculations:
1. What synergies, if any, can the Timken Company expect through its acquisition of Torrington?
What are the risks?
2. What is the value of Torrington including the expected synergies of its acquisition by the Timken
Company?
3. Is this valuation higher than the value of Torrington by itself?
4. How should the Timken Company seek to structure this acquisition?
5. What will the impacts of this deal be on their investment grade status?
6. Should Timken seek to keep investment grade status, or forego this requirement in structuring the
deal?
Step One–Evaluate the Potential Synergies and Risks of the Acquisition
At the time of this case study, 2002, Timken was involved in company–wide restructuring. They
were consolidating current operational segments into global business units to reduce expenses. Their
goal was more penetration in global markets due to reduced growth in the US based on the bearing
industry's cyclical nature. Analysts predicted 2–3% industry growth in the US, but 6.5% global
growth through 2005. The slow US growth was directly tied to the automotive industry's cyclical
nature, which was declining in 2002. Global penetration would help to achieve economies of scale,

California State University San Marcos
Abstract
The article "Making the Most of Foreign Factories", written by Kasra Ferdows discusses how
companies can and should obtain the full potential of their factories abroad. She begins by stating
that there are two approaches to manufacturing and a factory's importance to the company is based
on the approach the manager of the factory takes. She also exclaims how she thinks the gap between
companies that treat their foreign factories as a source of competitive advantage and those that do
not is widening.
Next, Ferdows discusses the three current realities of global business. She follows by illustrating the

"Powerful suppliers increase the cost of purchased materials." (Miltenburg). The next force is the
bargaining power of buyers. The more options buyers have for a certain product the more power
they have. "Powerful customers decrease prices for finished products." (Miltenburg). The last force
is the rivalry among competitors in the industry. "Tough competition decreases prices and increases
costs such as marketing and new product research and development." (Miltenburg). However, in the
past couple of years there has been a new trend, bringing manufacturing back to the United States.
According to Anne Kates Smith, the Boston Consulting Group predicts a manufacturing renaissance
in the United States to be in full gear by the year 2020. There are many reasons for this trend starting
with rising wages abroad and high oil prices, which have increased shipping costs dramatically.
"Offshoring companies have also encountered hidden costs resulting from long lead times, quality–
control issues, and the separation of production from design and engineering teams." (Smith).
Another main attraction to the United States is that the cost of factory powered natural gas is much
less in the United States than in other countries. This factory powered natural gas is not only a main

This allows them to think and act on that critical emotional level, and it challenges them to get to the
core of who they really are.
That "core" is what today's customers are really after, as they make decisions regarding who to hire
or buy from.
In recent years, consumer–oriented marketing has dramatically changed. Years ago, companies used
a mix of print, radio and television to establish their brand.
Today, this model is proving difficult for most companies, due to the high cost, the dilution of
media, and the overabundance of commercial messages.
These days, many successful brands are created without an advertising budget, or with a relatively
modest one. They create a solid and believable identity, differentiate themselves from their
competitors and build a loyal customer base by "putting an authentic face" on their companies
through standing behind their promises on every level – from the point of sale to customer service
after the sale.
Customers respond positively to the notion that a real, answerable person is responsible for quality,
which is the reason that many successful companies put their CEO's front and center and avoid the
celebrity spokesperson trap.
Customers want to know who is really behind the brand and where the buck actually stops.
The combination of quality, caring, accountability and the human touch is what constitutes an

to be under their control became dangerous because the insurgents moving in the area were virtually
unchallenged. This was no feat for the 101st and 1st platoon because the 101st is a tactically sound
unit that could establish control and a presence in the area but for soldiers that had to do so upon
arrival when it was supposed to be maintained is not necessarily a good thing. The company
commander of bravo, Cpt. Goodwin decided the best way to take back control of their area of

structured (is information already managed by the organization in relational databases ) and
unstructured data (is information that is unorganized and does not fall into a pre–determined model)
that is so large it is difficult to process using traditional database and software techniques. In most

marketing strategy and aggressive advertisement (for restaurant and airlines), successful
management (for employees' willingness to work in a responsible company), an efficient R&D
and politic strategies (for DuPont's case), etc. However, research reaching a negative relationship
can also be blamed to other stuffs related to CSR, rather than CSR itself. For example, the agency
problem appears when there's a conflict between company's goal and the agent's personal goal, not
only in CSR; and the profit issue is just a matter of choice. Thus, while measuring CSR's influence
on company's performance, we should first "identify or select the dimensions of corporate social
responsibility" (Ruf, 1998, as cited in Foote, Gaffney, &Evans, 2010). Nothing can we truly
measure before a clear identification. After a clear identification, we will be able to figure out
whether it is the impact brought by CSR, and therefore eliminate the interference from R&D,

example, a company might hire an attorney or someone familiar with the law to help expedite the
process of approval for their products.
Instead of telling someone negative information, Indians in the babudom will often communicate a
negative response by endless stalling. This stalling could last for months or even years. Throughout
this stalling, the Indian will come up with excuses for why something has not been done. Americans
must be able to recognize when they are being given false information and know when to move on.
For example, if an is unable to do something for your company, he or she still might say, "I 'll try"
instead of saying "no."

companies in this category in hopes that the market perception turns out to be incorrect. After all,
the market is giving you the opportunity to buy a business for less than it's stated net worth.

Delivery tracking/next day
Next and River Island offer their customers a free next day delivery if they order before a certain
time. Next has seen the promotion that River Island has going and they responded to this by giving
their customers a longer time period to shop but offering them the same deal as River Island. Next
also allows their customers to order by Midnight and have their product delivered to their local store
the next day for them to collect. This has put
Next ahead of River Island as River Island does not offer their customers the same deal. They also

Currys and Argos target their customers online for example offering their customers deals on items

Duty Of Care And Diligence
|Duty of Care and diligence |
Concepts and standards of duty of care and diligence have changed significantly in contemporary
society and these are regulated in the general law and corporate legislation with slightly difference
(Ramsay, 1997). Legislation focuses on the appropriateness of the practice of directors, while
general law concentrates on the foreseeability of the consequent damage. As per s 180 (1) of
Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) defines, directors or other officers must exercise their rights and
undertake their responsibilities with a duty of care and diligence, otherwise, they are negligent of
duty. It is hardly feasible to create a uniform standard of care because directors in different
companies are various. Daniels v Anderson (1995) 37 NSWLR 438 is an important case in
understanding the care standards.
|Duty not to trade while insolvent|
In s 588G of Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), directors have the responsibility to cease any trading that
could incur debts when the company is in bankruptcy protection or is likely to be insolvent. This
rule is set to protect the benefits of creditors (Jiang, 2015). Besides, liquidator or individual creditors
can also sue the directors for the breach of this duty. S 588G is only applicable at the time of the
insolvency of company and a debt has been incurred. Officers or employees are not affected by this
section.

principle that aims to improve accounting in organizations. Tax–accounting is defined as the

Research And Development ( R & D ) And Acquisitions
Research and development (R&D) and acquisitions are a firm's core areas for innovation, which sets
the stage for its ability to compete in the market based on what cutting edge technology or ideas the
company has gathered. Accordingly, globalization and increased competition has led companies to
become more efficient and reevaluate whether to outsource R&D or to innovate in–house. When
opting to outsource, companies should look at their organization at a functional level, and identify

Efficiency of a company turns on being able to produce in the shortest amount of time while
maintaining quality. Thus, outsourcing allows a company to be efficient where in–house the same
task could not be accomplished in a reasonable amount of time.
Opting to outsource R&D is also a good business strategy when the skillset is not found within the
organization. No matter how talented a company is, it simply cannot possess all the talent and
innovation under one roof. Thus, outsourcing R&D allows companies to utilize talent pools from all
over the world. Companies may even outsource within their own country by hiring contractors or
freelancers. For example, in order to stay competitive, technology companies simply do not have the
time to conduct in–house R&D. Instead, it is more efficient to outsource or acquire unique
technologies of other companies to expand their technology portfolio relatively quickly and align
itself with talented people. For example, Yahoo, Inc., an internet search engine tool, acquired Flickr,
a photo sharing site – a completely different component than its own. Acquisitions give companies
the ability to acquire a product that is already created; access to a talent pool that has experience
employing the technology; and a market that is familiar with the product. Acquisition is also a
strategic way to eliminate a competitor and become an active player in the competitive market rather

The case of Lincoln Electric Company is an interesting one, starting from the very early beginnings
when the company was run by the brothers, the original founder John Lincoln who decided to

Lincoln. The management system and underlying philosophy at Lincoln can be characterized by
clarity and commitment. The system was instituted with clear priority and purpose and the
management had confidence and courage to commit to the decisions they made. The order of
priority, namely customers first, employees next and stockholders last, makes any subsequent
decision making simple. The values that founded this order of priority, as well as benefits provided
to each of these categories, are based on Christian values, but the empathetic approach that results is
most certainly beneficial to anyone in any of these categories. The caring attitude and evident

Among these leaders was Bravo Company's 1st platoon's SFC Robert Gallagher. The platoon
endured terrible living conditions including no running water and filthy living space. These
inadequate living conditions must be met with some relaxation on the standards they were expected
to follow. Company leadership viewed this as a bribe to keep the soldiers in high spirits. In reality,
they set the stage for the erosion of the morals the enlisted soldiers are supposed to possess. While
the morals were being chipped away, so was the original plan the battalion had hoped to follow.
Fragmentation orders became a pseudo–standard for the boys of Bravo Company. What had
originally started as short–term overnight patrol bases turned into fortified traffic control points with
the exception of any form of fortification other than in notion only. Despite the fact that platoon–
level leadership requested for supplies they were repeatedly turned down. A major breakdown in the
communication between the leadership created a loss in faith in the higher leadership for the lower–
enlisted soldiers on the ground. Very soon into deployment, Bravo Company began to experience

2.3 Inter–Industry Analysis – Porter's Five Forces
The Strategic fit approach to management, describes that the prospect of profitability depends
largely on the firm positioning itself in an "attractive industry" the attractiveness and therefore
profitability is said to depend upon how competitive the industry is, "a highly competitive industry
is less attractive and less profitable than an industry where the competition is less intense."
(www.netmba.com) According to Porter's Five Forces Framework "attractiveness and profitability
depends upon five elements of industry structure and how they interact determining the intensity of
the competition within the industry" (Michael Porter, Competitive Strategy: Techniques for
analysing industries and competitors). Included in this chapter is an explanation of the Five Forces
and how they each affect Eurocity.

Porter described that intense industrial rivalry can lead to higher costs; lower prices and therefore
lower profitability. As there are a large number of competitors with little ability to differentiate their
product, the market can be seen as very competitive and therefore unattractive. However, there are
some compensating factors; such as, an applicant must give his permission to companies who wish
to submit their CV and in return the applicant has to confirm that no other company will submit

with Timken's long term growing strategy. Torrington and Timken share 80% of their customers but

All of the cash flows are discounted back to the year of 2002 in the calculation of NPV value. With
the annual cost savings of $80 from 2003 to 2007 and the integration cost of total $130, Timken's
new NPV is calculated to be –$970.42. There is the possibility that Timken can lose its BBB
investment–grade rating. This is due to Timken taking on the $800 million in debt it needs to
purchase Torrington. The change in the company's debt composition will change ratios such as debt–
to–capital which is used to determine the investment–grade rating. Compared to other industrial
firms, Timken shows relatively high sales numbers ($279.4 million) as well EBITDA figures
($275.7 million). According to table 3 (p. 4), only three ratios will change as taking on the $800
million in debt. The first one is EBIT Interest Coverage Ratio, which drops from 2.63 to 0.90 and
investment–rating scale falls from BBB to B. The second ratio is EBITDA Interest Coverage Ratio,
which drops from 4.3 to 3.14 and investment–rating scale falls from BBB to B. The third one is
Total Debt/Capital Ratio, which increases from 43 percent to 67 percent and drives the rating from
BB to B. In conclusion, the $800 million debt has a negative impact on Timken, since it lowers
company's investment–rating scale. If Timken decides to go forward with the acquisition, Timken

Lincoln Electric is a world–renowned manufacturer of welding equipment. The company has

unorthodox way in which the company is led and managed.
Early in the company's life an advisory board was created which gave employees a voice that could

reduced and additional benefits were given to employees that included life–insurance policies and
continued educational opportunities.

That both employees and management want to be a part of something great, a part of a team that is
working for the same goal of making their company successful. Lincoln believed that a worker is
worthy of what they earn. If they work hard, they should be paid commensurate with that effort.
When looking at the way in which the Lincoln Company is organized and managed, the first thing
you might notice is that their culture is very people–oriented. Fairness is very important as well as
respect for employees and who they are as human beings. People–oriented companies tend to have
employees that stay with their companies longer than companies with differing cultures. I believe
that due to this culture of valuing employees worker turnover at Lincoln is not an issue.
The organizational structure of Lincoln is informal and there is no organizational chart. Because
employees are treated with such value they have an intrinsic drive to work hard and make their
company successful. This also allows there to be very need for supervision. When employees are
treated with respect and are compensated for their work, the response is to self supervise.
This culture is very different from what you will find in companies today. Today, many leaders and
managers truly believe that employees must be controlled and managed harshly in order to get
results. There is a carrot and stick mentality that is used today to motivate employees. It's either

The tradition of spending a lifetime with a single employer survives today mainly because most
workers like it that way. The very foundations of Japan's management system are based on lifetime
employment, promotion through seniority, and single–company unions. There is little chance of
being fired, pay raises are regular, and there is a strict order of job–protecting seniority.
Japanese workers at larger companies still are protected from outright dismissal by union contracts
and an industrial tradition that some personnel specialists believe has the force of law. Under this
tradition, a worker can be dismissed after an initial trial period only for gross cause, such as theft or
some other major infraction.
As long as the company remains in business, the worker isn't discharged, or even furloughed, simply
because there isn't enough work to be done.
Besides the guarantee of employment for life, the typical Japanese worker receives many fringe
benefits from the company.
Bank loans and mortgages are granted to lifetime employees on the assumption that they will never
lose their jobs and therefore the ability to repay. Just how paternalistic the typical Japanese firm can
be is illustrated by a statement from the Japanese Ministry of

Recruting
When new staff is recruited, skills and quality of work is not the priority for getting the job, but
motivation and passion. This could afect the quality of products, harm copmany's reputation and
loosing of customer and financial looses. This issues has to be solved as soon as possible, as the
production and results are the most importatn factors for our company.

Judging Abercombie & Fitch for Their Hiring Practices Essay
Looks and first impressions are key points for many things in our lifes. Now a days people are deep
into fashion and everything is about looking presentable and well. This has made clothing
companies compete even more day by day and do everything in their power to attract more people.
To bring more people to the bussiness and sell as much as they can they have been using a method
of prioritizing and aiming to certain group of poeple to sell to. This has lead companies such as
Abercombie & Fitch to be seen as a store with a high profile of racism and discrimination. Aiming
to a natural classic amarican style and to hiring only certain type of people has caused them to be
sued multiple times. Abercombie & Fitch is a private company and there ... Show more content on

According to the constitution the company discriminates and excludes a group of people but at the
same time this is a private company and it should be their choice who they hire or not. In my
personal opinion Abercombie & Fitch should not be judged or sued. Companies across the world do
exactly the same thing. I mean, I live in Los Angeles where montly the population is mexican. Some
mexicans like dressing up with boots and big belts, they have a certain look which now people call
"Paisa Look". When I go to the mall there are many "paisa" stores where the people who work there
obviously look mexican and dress up with the look they sell. When I say mexican looking, I mean
dark skined, mustache, the boots, the belts, the Ed Hardy things, the hats and of course their music.
This exact same thing happens in Abercombie & Fitch. The only difference is that caucasians are not
the minority in this country. I find very hypocritical the fact that people judge Abercombie, Hollister,
Express and other stores in that range for who they hire. This is a duble standard and very unfair
way of looking at things. In the article "Going for the look, but risking discrimination" by Steven
Greenhouse; Tom Lenox, Abercombie's communicatons director said: "Brand representatives are
embassadors to the brand. We want to hire brand representatives that will represent the abercombie

Good to Great Essay
Good to Great Book Review
To transform a good company to great company is all manages' dream, but only few of them make
it. To find out the core factors which lead to a good company became a great company is very
difficult, because in different era, different industry companies face different opportunities and
threats. To begin the research for the Good–to–Great study, Jim Collins and his research team
searched for companies that: performed at or below the general stock market for at least fifteen
years; then at a transition point began to pull away from the competition, and sustained returns of at
least 3 times the general market for the next fifteen years. He started with a list of 1,435 companies
and found eleven that met his criteria. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In the same time, Wells Fargo recruited talented people into the company without any specific job,
because the CEO believed that these smart people could help company to face and deal with the
future changes and difficulties (Collins, 2001, p.42). Well Fargo is easy to adapt to a changing world
when banking deregulation arrived. Moreover, Wells Fargo went three times higher than general
stock market which the banking fell 59 percent behind. CEO of Wells Fargo, Dick Cooley a level 5
leader, understand three simple truths. First, if you begin with "who," rather than "what," you can
more easily adapt to a changing world. Second, if you have the right people on the bus, there are no
problem to motivate and manage people goes. Right people are self–motivated by the inner drive to
produce the best results, and right people don't need to be tightly managed, they know what they
should or should not do. Third, if you have the wrong people on the bus, you won't get to the place
where you want to go, whatever how hard to motivate and manage them. Right people are the most
important asset in the company. Right people can turn a nearly bankruptcy company to Fortune 500
company.
The third reason why good–to–great companies outperform, is they do not cover up the bad news
(confront the brutal facts). Nobody likes to hear the bad news, but we have to facing it and take
reaction about it. Furthermore all good to great

Sun Painting Company : A Successful Entrepreneur
Sun Painting Company was founded in 1976 by Fred Hollobaugh. At the time that he found the
company he was looking to do something that would allow him to provide for himself and his
family. He had started by going to an apprentice school for painting, after finishing school he
decided to start his own company. Fred had decided that Payson had sufficient market and lacked a
professional painting company that people could rely on.
When interviewing Fred I asked him what he thought made his company so useful? He said, "I had
to treat it like one of my children, the more I paid attention and nourished it the better it would
thrive, leading to a higher success rate." He had also said, "It is very time consuming and can be
overwhelming, but that is what being an entrepreneur is all about, hard work, constant dedication
and taking risk". It was because of the risk that he took that he feels he was able to be such a
successful entrepreneur.
While looking at the different traits that I have learned about through–out the semester, I realized
that many of the traits were either mentioned or gone into depth about during my interaction with
the owner of Sun Painting Company. Such as being a risk taker, being organized, self–motivated,
hard–working and having dedication to the company. Attempting to run a company without some of
the attributes would be difficult and could also prove to be unsuccessful.
When Fred initially started Sun Painting Company he would do residential work and

FEASIBILITY STUDY
Feasibility reports describe one or more design solutions to a specific problem and determine if the
proposed solution is practical and feasible. Preferably, more than one solution is offered, in which
case the report compares the various designs and determines which option is best. Design and
feasibility reports are essentially the same type of document, differing only in the amount of
emphasis placed on practical and economic viability of the design in comparison with other possible
solutions. A design report, often very similar to an internal proposal, focuses on describing one
specific implementation. A feasibility study, on the other hand, also emphasizes the investigation
and comparison of alternative solutions. Design reports and feasibility reports are crucial for
decision making and product development in almost any technical organization. They document an
engineer's thinking through a solution to a problem, a description of the solution, and the reasons
why that solution should be implemented. Managers need accurate and comprehensive feasibility
and design reports to decide where to commit scarce resources. In addition, an accurate and
comprehensive design report helps in developing other documents, such as formal proposals,
specifications, and work plans.

Customer Service And An Organization

  • 1. Customer Service And An Organization Many companies continuously fail in customer service satisfaction for many reasons. As service failures are inevitable, it is important for companies, especially small businesses, to capitalize on learning the importance of reducing service failure. Just as the seed is the core of the fruit, customer service is the core of an organization; its meaning is the primary function for organizations to retain business and discover new ventures. Customer service is the primary source of business–to– customer communication and in many ways, handles company issues via phone, email or on site. Without customer service, it would be extremely difficult for organizations to operate or survive effectively. Companies that provide exceptional customer service skills are more likely to have repeat business from customers. As stated in the article, Customer Service and Its Importance In the Clinical Laboratory, providing excellent service consists of the following components: listen, understand, respect the need for the request, respond, ask if there is anything else you can do, always remain friendly, courteous, and professional (Anderson, 2008). People that have one or more positive experiences with a company will share their experience about that company with others, which will increase business to that company. This is a way of promotion for the organization. More companies, especially small investments, should focus on providing great service to its customers for promotion and increase in ...

They led the frontier in production after World War II when they converted all the facilities they had used to produce war machines into factories for cars and other domestic products. However, in the past few decades a new company has risen up and passed the United States on the leaderboard for most successful manufacturing capabilities. Ironically, this company is Japan, the company whose economy was completely destroyed by the United States during World War II. With its economy completely wiped out, Japan had nothing to lose in trying out a new cost management strategy that was actually designed by an American that had actually been laughed out of the United States for his ideas. Japan gave this man's methods a shot, and they are now currently more profitable than the majority of United States based companies. The secret to Japan's success lies in two areas, one being the way Japan goes about cost management, and the second being how they train and manage their employees. If the United States were to modify their business's to follow Japanese businesses in these two aspects they would see much higher profitability. Unfortunately, they do not comprehend how these two aspects create such a difference in profitability, which is why it is important to properly understand that. The biggest problem in American businesses is that they do not understand that "the company's long–term financial ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Beginning with the strategy of acquiring market share, Scepter implemented very attractive (personal) incentives in order to achieve this goal. These "earn out" incentives did indeed push for innovation, growth and market segment but it didn't put any controls on the amount of spending, thus ultimately leading to major losses. The incentives focused more on personal gain i.e.: "Make the company look good at what ever cost so I can get the pay out" sort of notion.

It would have been good if this fundamental vision was in place right at the very beginning of the company's formation. In the end it is the customers that make the company, so it makes sense to work towards satisfying this customer relationship. To become profitable and achieve market share are secondary objective that can be measured on a annual basis and overall company well being targets can be rewarded with incentives that link into the company's performance as opposed to individual contribution to the company's success. Instead of jumping to different achievement goals as problems arise, the visions and beliefs should have been determined first and that would help shape the overall goal of the company. While working towards goals such as profitability and growth, the visions and beliefs help keep employees in line and to some extent control the minimum expectations of the development of products, thus possibly lessen or avoid problems that did arise. The incentive scheme were not properly designed to take into account effects of employee actions and the impact it would have on the company as a whole and other stakeholders. It should some what reflect and reiterate these visions instead of promoting and motivating employees to be self interested in their own affairs and achieving the targets at "all costs". All in all, there were minimal controls and checks in place, it was more of a one way push towards the goals and not looking back ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

It is helpful to divide diversification into 'related' diversification and 'unrelated' diversification. Related diversification is when a business adds or expands its existing product markets. The company starts manufacturing a new product or through new market related to its business activity. For example, a phone company that adds or expands its wireless products or services by purchasing another wireless company is engaging in related diversification. Under related diversification, companies want to make easier the consumption of its products by producing complementing goods or offering complementing services. In a related diversification the resulting combined business should able to improve return on investment (ROI) because of increased revenues, decrease costs and reduced investment. 1.2 Examples a) Brand name One commonly found resource that is exportable is a strong established brand name like Coca–Cola, Microsoft, Pepsi, BMW and others. For example, Coca–Cola spent $4.1 billion to acquire Glaceau, includes its health drink brand Vitaminwater in 2007. b) Marketing skills Usually a firm will lack a strong skill in marketing for a particular market. The frequent motive to diversify is to export or import a marketing talent. For these cases, Coca–Cola's marketing skills are used to be to bring the plight of polar bears closer to ...

However, the maximum purchase price for Torrington should only be $641 million. The optimum debt amount for this transaction would be $301 million. This amount of debt would result in a total debt to capital ratio for Torrington of 47%, within the range for a BBB "investment grade" debt rating. The combined entities, Torrington–Timken, would produce an interest coverage ratio of 3.2, and a debt ratio of 45%, again within the range for a BBB "debt rating. The purchase would likely be a cash transaction. History Founded by carriage–maker Henry Timken in 1899 in St. Louis, Missouri, the Timken Company was ...

Using the average of the revised sample field for each ratio, we inserted Torrington's values where appropriate to generate an entity value. The findings generated two values for Torrington, 606 million and 398 million. Taking the average of these two numbers, Torrington exhibited a relative value of 502.41 million. Because of the lack of related information given in the case, and the often large differences in measures amongst competitors, different capital structures, internal management strategies, there remained many unknowns in our model. We decided it would be best to use this valuation to reaffirm our assumptions in our DCF valuation. (Please see exhibits) DCF Model Based on information given, we established the free cash flows from operations for Torrington, for the period 1999 to 2007. We made the assumption that net working capital was 7% of sales for Torrington, based on historic patterns. From this assumption, we found "Change in Net Working Capital" for the selected years. Next, we chose a value for "Capital Expenditures", again based on historic patterns. From this we computed the "Free Cash Flows to the Firm".

Narrative for the Timken Company Valuation of Acquisition of Torrington The first step in completing this case study was to determine what hypothesis needed to be tested. We came up with the following six questions that needed to be answered in our research and calculations: 1. What synergies, if any, can the Timken Company expect through its acquisition of Torrington? What are the risks? 2. What is the value of Torrington including the expected synergies of its acquisition by the Timken Company? 3. Is this valuation higher than the value of Torrington by itself? 4. How should the Timken Company seek to structure this acquisition? 5. What will the impacts of this deal be on their investment grade status? 6. Should Timken seek to keep investment grade status, or forego this requirement in structuring the deal? Step One–Evaluate the Potential Synergies and Risks of the Acquisition At the time of this case study, 2002, Timken was involved in company–wide restructuring. They were consolidating current operational segments into global business units to reduce expenses. Their goal was more penetration in global markets due to reduced growth in the US based on the bearing industry's cyclical nature. Analysts predicted 2–3% industry growth in the US, but 6.5% global growth through 2005. The slow US growth was directly tied to the automotive industry's cyclical nature, which was declining in 2002.

Om Term Paper Term Paper "Making the Most of Foreign Factories" Jeremy Rochford California State University San Marcos Abstract The article "Making the Most of Foreign Factories", written by Kasra Ferdows discusses how companies can and should obtain the full potential of their factories abroad. She begins by stating that there are two approaches to manufacturing and a factory's importance to the company is based on the approach the manager of the factory takes. She also exclaims how she thinks the gap between companies that treat their foreign factories as a source of competitive advantage and those that do not is widening.

"Powerful suppliers increase the cost of purchased materials." (Miltenburg). The next force is the bargaining power of buyers. The more options buyers have for a certain product the more power they have. "Powerful customers decrease prices for finished products." (Miltenburg). The last force is the rivalry among competitors in the industry. "Tough competition decreases prices and increases costs such as marketing and new product research and development." (Miltenburg). However, in the past couple of years there has been a new trend, bringing manufacturing back to the United States. According to Anne Kates Smith, the Boston Consulting Group predicts a manufacturing renaissance in the United States to be in full gear by the year 2020. There are many reasons for this trend starting with rising wages abroad and high oil prices, which have increased shipping costs dramatically. "Offshoring companies have also encountered hidden costs resulting from long lead times, quality– control issues, and the separation of production from design and engineering teams." (Smith). Another main attraction to the United States is that the cost of factory powered natural gas is much less in the United States than in other countries. This factory powered natural gas is not only a main component in producing chemicals, but as more companies begin to focus on being socially responsible the demand for such ...

Years ago, companies used a mix of print, radio and television to establish their brand. Today, this model is proving difficult for most companies, due to the high cost, the dilution of media, and the overabundance of commercial messages. These days, many successful brands are created without an advertising budget, or with a relatively modest one. They create a solid and believable identity, differentiate themselves from their competitors and build a loyal customer base by "putting an authentic face" on their companies through standing behind their promises on every level – from the point of sale to customer service after the sale.

From a tactical stand point the 48th infantry was no better in this aspect either. The patrols they conducted were inadequate and performed far from often. The area supposed to be under their control became dangerous because the insurgents moving in the area were virtually unchallenged. This was no feat for the 101st and 1st platoon because the 101st is a tactically sound unit that could establish control and a presence in the area but for soldiers that had to do so upon arrival when it was supposed to be maintained is not necessarily a good thing. The company commander of bravo, Cpt. Goodwin decided the best way to take back control of their area of operations is to have a three station cycle for his company. Each platoon would have a twenty–one day rotation at a different location carrying out a different task. The three tasks were to set up TCP on a main roads, set up a FOB and be the quick reaction force for the other platoons, and the third task was to patrol the city as per guidance from higher.

Big–data is a logo used to describe a massive volume of both structured (is information already managed by the organization in relational databases ) and unstructured data (is information that is unorganized and does not fall into a pre–determined model) that is so large it is difficult to process using traditional database and software techniques. In most companies, the volume of data is too big or it moves too fast or it exceeds current processing capacity. Despite these problems, big–data has the potential to help companies improve operations and make faster, more intelligent decisions. Moreover companies that implement Big–data analytics application gain tangible benefits in their finance department, sales department, and human resources department. Financial statements (i.e. Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and income statement) are the summarized results of the company's operations. To produce those statements, large volumes of structured and nanostructured data which come from multiple heterogeneous sources must be swiftly linked, connected, and correlated. However, those activities can't be done by using traditional databases. For that reason, the company implemented an advanced technology called big–data analytical tool (Business Object).

They are known as the stakeholder dimension, the social dimension, the economic dimension, the voluntariness dimension and the environmental dimension in research (Dahlsrud, 2008).

Despite the influence of omitted factors, CSR neither benefit nor harm company's performance. For those cases reported positive relationship above, they are very likely to be the result of a good marketing strategy and aggressive advertisement (for restaurant and airlines), successful management (for employees' willingness to work in a responsible company), an efficient R&D and politic strategies (for DuPont's case), etc. However, research reaching a negative relationship can also be blamed to other stuffs related to CSR, rather than CSR itself. For example, the agency problem appears when there's a conflict between company's goal and the agent's personal goal, not only in CSR; and the profit issue is just a matter of choice. Thus, while measuring CSR's influence on company's performance, we should first "identify or select the dimensions of corporate social responsibility" (Ruf, 1998, as cited in Foote, Gaffney, &Evans, 2010).

Instead of telling someone negative information, Indians in the babudom will often communicate a negative response by endless stalling. This stalling could last for months or even years. Throughout this stalling, the Indian will come up with excuses for why something has not been done. Americans must be able to recognize when they are being given false information and know when to move on.

(Kaplan, 2008) This number is way too high and CEO's salaries should be decreased to help further other parts of the company. The success of a company should be the company's top priority and they should not be putting such a large amount of money into their CEO's salary.

When this is the case, it's usually because the market has lost confidence in the ability of the company's assets to generate future profits and cash flows.

Value investors often like to seek out companies in this category in hopes that the market perception turns out to be incorrect. After all, the market is giving you the opportunity to buy a business for less than it's stated net worth. 1. Market Value Greater Than Book Value: The market assigns a higher value to the company due to the earnings power of the company's assets. Nearly all consistently profitable companies will have market values greater than book values. 2.

Duty Of Care And Diligence |Duty of Care and diligence | Concepts and standards of duty of care and diligence have changed significantly in contemporary society and these are regulated in the general law and corporate legislation with slightly difference (Ramsay, 1997). Legislation focuses on the appropriateness of the practice of directors, while general law concentrates on the foreseeability of the consequent damage. As per s 180 (1) of Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) defines, directors or other officers must exercise their rights and undertake their responsibilities with a duty of care and diligence, otherwise, they are negligent of duty. It is hardly feasible to create a uniform standard of care because directors in different companies are various. Daniels v Anderson (1995) 37 NSWLR 438 is an important case in understanding the care standards. |Duty not to trade while insolvent| In s 588G of Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), directors have the responsibility to cease any trading that could incur debts when the company is in bankruptcy protection or is likely to be insolvent. This rule is set to protect the benefits of creditors (Jiang, 2015). Besides, liquidator or individual creditors can also sue the directors for the breach of this duty. S 588G is only applicable at the time of the insolvency of company and a debt has been incurred. Officers or employees are not affected by this section. 2.

Research And Development ( R & D ) And Acquisitions Research and development (R&D) and acquisitions are a firm's core areas for innovation, which sets the stage for its ability to compete in the market based on what cutting edge technology or ideas the company has gathered. Accordingly, globalization and increased competition has led companies to become more efficient and reevaluate whether to outsource R&D or to innovate in–house. When opting to outsource, companies should look at their organization at a functional level, and identify the processes and tasks in order to identify opportunities that can be gained from outsourcing versus developing in–house. Additionally, companies should focus not on where the innovation occurs, but rather who will ultimately have control of the final ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Efficiency of a company turns on being able to produce in the shortest amount of time while maintaining quality. Thus, outsourcing allows a company to be efficient where in–house the same task could not be accomplished in a reasonable amount of time. Opting to outsource R&D is also a good business strategy when the skillset is not found within the organization. No matter how talented a company is, it simply cannot possess all the talent and innovation under one roof. Thus, outsourcing R&D allows companies to utilize talent pools from all over the world. Companies may even outsource within their own country by hiring contractors or freelancers. For example, in order to stay competitive, technology companies simply do not have the time to conduct in–house R&D. Instead, it is more efficient to outsource or acquire unique technologies of other companies to expand their technology portfolio relatively quickly and align itself with talented people. For example, Yahoo, Inc., an internet search engine tool, acquired Flickr, a photo sharing site – a completely different component than its own. Acquisitions give companies the ability to acquire a product that is already created; access to a talent pool that has experience employing the technology; and a market that is familiar with the product.

The organizational culture and subcultures within a business determines, to a larger extent, how the business performs and the quality of people that comprises an organization. Such culture is often initially created on purpose, but takes on life and identity of its own, developing organically and eventually controls and cultivates people within the organization. The case of Lincoln Electric Company is an interesting one, starting from the very early beginnings when the company was run by the brothers, the original founder John Lincoln who decided to concentrate on inventions and R&D side of things, who handed the helm over to his brother, James Lincoln. The management system and underlying philosophy at Lincoln can be characterized by clarity and commitment. The system was instituted with clear priority and purpose and the management had confidence and courage to commit to the decisions they made. The order of priority, namely customers first, employees next and stockholders last, makes any subsequent decision making simple. The values that founded this order of priority, as well as benefits provided to each of these categories, are based on Christian values, but the empathetic approach that results is most certainly beneficial to anyone in any of these categories. The caring attitude and evident sincerity that was demonstrated by actual implementations not only convinced all those concerned that these were not merely slogans and publicity stunts but became beliefs share ...

Leadership Failures in Black Hearts by Jim Frederick Essay The book Black Hearts by Jim Frederick is an in–depth narrative about the 1st platoon, Bravo Company 1–502nd Infantry 101st Airborne Division deployed to Iraq in 2005. The leadership failures documented in this book range all the way from the general officer level down to the lowest private. LT general Ricardo Sanchez failed to understand the climate his command group was entering as they were deployed into Iraq. From then on the entire leadership failures continued to compound upon each other with improper time to plan.

Among these leaders was Bravo Company's 1st platoon's SFC Robert Gallagher. The platoon endured terrible living conditions including no running water and filthy living space. These inadequate living conditions must be met with some relaxation on the standards they were expected to follow. Company leadership viewed this as a bribe to keep the soldiers in high spirits. In reality, they set the stage for the erosion of the morals the enlisted soldiers are supposed to possess. While the morals were being chipped away, so was the original plan the battalion had hoped to follow. Fragmentation orders became a pseudo–standard for the boys of Bravo Company. What had originally started as short–term overnight patrol bases turned into fortified traffic control points with the exception of any form of fortification other than in notion only. Despite the fact that platoon– level leadership requested for supplies they were repeatedly turned down. A major breakdown in the communication between the leadership created a loss in faith in the higher leadership for the lower– enlisted soldiers on the ground. Very soon into deployment, Bravo Company began to experience contact with unseen enemy forces. The enemy was able to engage and plant IED's and cause casualties while remaining elusive. After the first few casualties within the company, the mission to start set up traffic control points was to begin. While conducting patrols down the road time and time ...

(www.netmba.com) According to Porter's Five Forces Framework "attractiveness and profitability depends upon five elements of industry structure and how they interact determining the intensity of the competition within the industry" (Michael Porter, Competitive Strategy: Techniques for analysing industries and competitors). Included in this chapter is an explanation of the Five Forces and how they each affect Eurocity. 2.3.1 Rivalry amongst existing firms Porter described that intense industrial rivalry can lead to higher costs; lower prices and therefore lower profitability. As there are a large number of competitors with little ability to differentiate their product, the market can be seen as very competitive and therefore unattractive.

All of the cash flows are discounted back to the year of 2002 in the calculation of NPV value. With the annual cost savings of $80 from 2003 to 2007 and the integration cost of total $130, Timken's new NPV is calculated to be –$970.42. There is the possibility that Timken can lose its BBB investment–grade rating. This is due to Timken taking on the $800 million in debt it needs to purchase Torrington. The change in the company's debt composition will change ratios such as debt– to–capital which is used to determine the investment–grade rating. Compared to other industrial firms, Timken shows relatively high sales numbers ($279.4 million) as well EBITDA figures ($275.7 million). According to table 3 (p. 4), only three ratios will change as taking on the $800 million in debt. The first one is EBIT Interest Coverage Ratio, which drops from 2.63 to 0.90 and investment–rating scale falls from BBB to B. The second ratio is EBITDA Interest Coverage Ratio, which drops from 4.3 to 3.14 and investment–rating scale falls from BBB to B. The third one is Total Debt/Capital Ratio, which increases from 43 percent to 67 percent and drives the rating from BB to B. In conclusion, the $800 million debt has a negative impact on Timken, since it lowers company's investment–rating scale.

That both employees and management want to be a part of something great, a part of a team that is working for the same goal of making their company successful. Lincoln believed that a worker is worthy of what they earn. If they work hard, they should be paid commensurate with that effort. When looking at the way in which the Lincoln Company is organized and managed, the first thing you might notice is that their culture is very people–oriented. Fairness is very important as well as respect for employees and who they are as human beings. People–oriented companies tend to have employees that stay with their companies longer than companies with differing cultures. I believe that due to this culture of valuing employees worker turnover at Lincoln is not an issue. The organizational structure of Lincoln is informal and there is no organizational chart. Because employees are treated with such value they have an intrinsic drive to work hard and make their company successful. This also allows there to be very need for supervision. When employees are treated with respect and are compensated for their work, the response is to self supervise. This culture is very different from what you will find in companies today. Today, many leaders and managers truly believe that employees must be controlled and managed harshly in order to get results.

Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The tradition of spending a lifetime with a single employer survives today mainly because most workers like it that way. The very foundations of Japan's management system are based on lifetime employment, promotion through seniority, and single–company unions. There is little chance of being fired, pay raises are regular, and there is a strict order of job–protecting seniority. Japanese workers at larger companies still are protected from outright dismissal by union contracts and an industrial tradition that some personnel specialists believe has the force of law. Under this tradition, a worker can be dismissed after an initial trial period only for gross cause, such as theft or some other major infraction. As long as the company remains in business, the worker isn't discharged, or even furloughed, simply because there isn't enough work to be done. Besides the guarantee of employment for life, the typical Japanese worker receives many fringe benefits from the company. Bank loans and mortgages are granted to lifetime employees on the assumption that they will never lose their jobs and therefore the ability to repay. Just how paternalistic the typical Japanese firm can be is illustrated by a statement from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs that gives the example of A, a male worker who is employed in a fairly representative company in Tokyo.

Well Fargo is easy to adapt to a changing world when banking deregulation arrived. Moreover, Wells Fargo went three times higher than general stock market which the banking fell 59 percent behind. CEO of Wells Fargo, Dick Cooley a level 5 leader, understand three simple truths. First, if you begin with "who," rather than "what," you can more easily adapt to a changing world. Second, if you have the right people on the bus, there are no problem to motivate and manage people goes. Right people are self–motivated by the inner drive to produce the best results, and right people don't need to be tightly managed, they know what they should or should not do. Third, if you have the wrong people on the bus, you won't get to the place where you want to go, whatever how hard to motivate and manage them. Right people are the most important asset in the company. Right people can turn a nearly bankruptcy company to Fortune 500 company.

At the time that he found the company he was looking to do something that would allow him to provide for himself and his family. He had started by going to an apprentice school for painting, after finishing school he decided to start his own company. Fred had decided that Payson had sufficient market and lacked a professional painting company that people could rely on. When interviewing Fred I asked him what he thought made his company so useful? He said, "I had to treat it like one of my children, the more I paid attention and nourished it the better it would thrive, leading to a higher success rate." He had also said, "It is very time consuming and can be overwhelming, but that is what being an entrepreneur is all about, hard work, constant dedication and taking risk". It was because of the risk that he took that he feels he was able to be such a successful entrepreneur. While looking at the different traits that I have learned about through–out the semester, I realized that many of the traits were either mentioned or gone into depth about during my interaction with the owner of Sun Painting Company. Such as being a risk taker, being organized, self–motivated, hard–working and having dedication to the company. Attempting to run a company without some of the attributes would be difficult and could also prove to be unsuccessful. When Fred initially started Sun Painting Company he would do residential work and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

FEASIBILITY STUDY Feasibility reports describe one or more design solutions to a specific problem and determine if the proposed solution is practical and feasible. Preferably, more than one solution is offered, in which case the report compares the various designs and determines which option is best. Design and feasibility reports are essentially the same type of document, differing only in the amount of emphasis placed on practical and economic viability of the design in comparison with other possible solutions. A design report, often very similar to an internal proposal, focuses on describing one specific implementation. A feasibility study, on the other hand, also emphasizes the investigation and comparison of alternative solutions. Design reports and feasibility reports are crucial for decision making and product development in almost any technical organization. They document an engineer's thinking through a solution to a problem, a description of the solution, and the reasons why that solution should be implemented. Managers need accurate and comprehensive feasibility and design reports to decide where to commit scarce resources. In addition, an accurate and comprehensive design report helps in developing other documents, such as formal proposals, specifications, and work plans. 3.1 OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY In this project we are providing the help to the company for selection process and tpo to maintain the all record which are record the company for ...
