QUESTION 1 – WHAT TO DO? (19 marks)
Linda Lindeman, manager and owner of an advertising company in Charlotte, North Carolina, had
arranged a meeting with Eric Weddle, the chief accountant of a large, local competitor. The two
are lifelong friends. They grew up together in a small town and attended the same university. Eric
was a competent, successful accountant but currently was experiencing some personal financial
difficulties. The problems were created by some investments that had turned sour, leaving him
with a $25,000 personal loan to pay off just at the time his oldest son was scheduled to enter
college.
Linda, on the other hand was struggling to establish a successful advertising business. She had
recently acquired the rights to open a branch of a large regional advertising firm headquartered in
Atlanta, Georgia. During her first two years, she had managed to build a small, profitable practice;
however, the chance to gain a significant foothold in the Charlotte advertising community hinged
on the success of winning a bid to rep ...

AmCorp Management is an expense recovery firm that has been in business for 19 years. It helps businesses locate billing errors and other expenses they have paid incorrectly in order to recover millions of dollars for its clients each year. AmCorp is seeking sales representatives to license with the company in order to help businesses audit their expenses and recover revenue. Licensing with AmCorp costs between $17,995-$29,995 but representatives can recoup much of the cost through commissions on revenue recovered for clients.

Week 7 Case Study
Terms used in the case study:
the country refers to the country of concern you have been working on throughout this
semester (in your individual case, the country is CANADA)
the foreign partner refers to the company in CANADA you consider starting a joint venture with
(Canadian Company or investor)
Your MNC is your US company that exports to Canada.
Your MNC has been exporting its products to CANADA for nearly a decade. But recently you have been
contacted by the Canadian Company with a proposal of starting a joint venture for the production of
the product. Currently, the MNC exports 50,000 units of a product a year to CANADA’S importers at a
per‐unit price of $50 including shipping and insurance. The MNC had managed to obtain an import
agreement from CANADA’S government for a 10‐year period, which is due to expire within one year.
The pre‐tax profit on the exported product was $15 per unit (see Table 1 for cost breakdown) and unit
sales were expected to increase at the rate of 2.9% per year based on the projected changes in the GDP
in CANADA
Table 1. Cost Breakdown of the Product (Exported)
Cost Type Cost per Unit
Components $20
Labor Cost $10
Freight and Insurance $5
Total Cost $35
Based on the discussions held with the Canadian Company, you estimated that the cost of establishing
the manufacturing facility in CANADA would be around $3,000,000 at the prevailing exchange rate of $1
= $1.36 . The Canadian Company agreed to invest 50% of the initial outlay. In addition to fixed assets,
you also estimated that $500,000 worth of working capital would be needed for a start‐up.
Under the tentative terms of the joint venture, the Canadian Company would manage the day‐to‐day
operations of the business with overall supervision being the responsibility of your chief engineer. The
MNC would turn over the operation to the Canadian Company after 7 years, in exchange for full
reimbursement of the working capital and a purchase price amounting to 125% of the net book value of
the fixed assets at that time. You were able to get Canada’s government to reach a tentative agreement
whereby at the end of each year, MNC’s share of new cash flows from the joint venture could be
remitted to the US at the prevailing exchange rate.
You had checked with the tax authorities in Canada and found out that fixed assets could be depreciated
on a straight‐line basis over 10 years. The corporate tax rate in Canada is 26.5%, and the US federal
corporate income tax rate is 21%. After meeting with various suppliers and checking quality control
standards, you worked out the details regarding the revised cost structure of the product (see Table 2).
The product manufactured in Canada would be made of a combination of domestic and US components.
According to the assessment, the net cost of the components imported from the US (manufactured by
the MNC) would be $5 per unit and ...

Case 33
Piping Plus
Curly, Maureen (Mo to her friends), and Larry founded CML Mechanical Engineers nearly
ten years ago. The firm has grown substantially, and it now employs 28 engineers. CML
emphasizes industrial and commercial work related to the construction of facilities. For
example, they have designed heating and ventilation systems for factories and shopping
malls, piping for refineries and chemical plants, and even a treatment facility for oil tanker
ballast water. Obviously, they have undertaken many other jobs over the years, but these
represent their market niche.
When CML first started business, most of the work was subcontracts for heating and
ventilation systems for individual buildings. The jobs are now larger, more complex, and
technically far more sophisticated, but CML still generally works as a subcontractor to
another design firm. None of the founders, who are still the owners, want to diversify into
other branches of engineering or into more general construction or into project management.
They enjoy being in close contact with the technical details, even though they do relatively
little design work themselves.
Virtually all of the analysis and technical drawings are done with an ever-increasing array
of software packages. However, there are beginning to be problems in interfacing with the
project management software used by some of their clients. Furthermore, they would like to
link the firm’s accounting and time tracking and billing software with the firm’s software for
design, drawing, and project management.
Case 33 Piping Plus
153
They believe that this integration will allow automatic tracking of time spent on work
packages, progress on contracts, and billing breakdowns by project type, client, and
employee. This will in turn support more accurate estimating for bidding on future work.
It appears that software packages costing about $25,000 initially are needed, and then
there would be a 15% annual fee. This fee covers service, answering questions, and periodic
updates. Another $30,000 would be needed for a contract with a software integration firm.
Initial training of the firm’s employees is estimated at $12,000, and about one-sixth of that as
an annual expense. From looking at their history of software usage, they estimate that the life
of this “generation” of software will be about 5 years.
Curly was assigned the job of estimating the value of having the integrated software,
while Mo and Larry examined possible sources of financing. Should the firm get the
software? If so, use their three memos and the firm's financial statements to define an
acquisition plan. This plan should identify the timing of the purchases and the source of funds
for the purchase. What is the rate of return of your proposal?
Suggestion to the Student
If enough jobs are lost, the firm may have to shrink; but the danger of this can be judged by
comparing lost billi ...

Informative speech on George Stinney Jr.
A. Info research analysis
The general purpose of the speech was to inform people about the civil injustice being done against the African American community in the United States. The specific purpose of the speech was to portray to the audience how an innocent 14-year old black boy suffered in the hands of the South Carolina State law enforcing officers. He was falsely accused of killing two white girls and electrocuted within two months after conviction.
I decided the topic of my speech after perusing through all the suggested topics ad found that the story of George Stinney Jr. was touching and emotional entirely.
This topic benefits the audience and the society in general by giving them an insight of the cruelty that the American law system has against the African American community. The audience gets to know how the shady investigations were done with claims that George had pleaded guilty to the charges of murder when there was no real evidence tying him to the crime or a signed plea agreement.
The alternative view that I found in the research was the version of the investigating officer of the case who claimed that the 14-year old boy managed to kill two girls aged 11 and 7 with a blunt object and ditch them in a nearby trench. This alternative point of view did not make sense because it is hard for a 14-year old boy to use the force that was reported by postmortem results to kill the girls. Therefore, I knew everything was a lie and I had to take the point of view of George’s innocence.
B. informative outline
Introduction:
George Stinney Jr. was an African American boy born on October 21, 1929 in Pinewood, South Carolina, U.S. He is considered as the youngest person to be executed by the United State government in 20th century.

PALADIN ASSIGNMENT
Scenario:
You are given a PC and you are faced with this scenario: you don’t know the password to the PC which means you can’t login so you can use a forensic tool like FTK IMAGER to capture the hard drive as a bit-for-bit forensic image AND/OR
1. The hard drive is either soldiered onto the motherboard (there are some new hard drives like this!) or cannot be removed because the screws are stripped (this has happened to me);
2. Even if you figured out the password or got an admin password the PC may have its USB ports blocked via a GPO policy (this is very common in corporations now);
3. Even if you can get the GPO policy overridden you may have some concerns about putting it on the network (which is true especially if you are dealing with malware).
So what you can you do? The best solution is to boot the PC up into forensically sound environment that lets you bypass the password aspect; GPO policy; etc and take a bit-for-bit image. One software that has done the job very well for me is Paladin.
How to get points
If you can send me a screenshot showing me that you had installed Paladin .ISO and made your USB device a bootable device with Paladin using Rufus then you get 10 points.
If you can send me a screenshot showing that you had a chance to boot your computer into Paladin then you will earn an extra 10 points. It is not necessary for you to take a forensic image of your PC but I have included generic instructions here.
Assumptions:
1. You have downloaded Rufus on your computer
2. You have downloaded Paladin on your computer.
Instructions:
1. Make sure you have at least one USB drive.
2. If not down already, download Rufus from https://rufus.ie/.
3. If not done already, download the Paladin ISO image from this website: https://sumuri.com/product/paladin-64-bit-version-7/ which is free. It’s suggested price is $25.00 but you can adjust the price to $0 then order. To be clear – do not pay anything.
4. Insert the USB device in your computer.
5. Run Rufus where you install the Paladin .ISO file on the USB device and make it bootable. Now I could provide you step by step instructions, but this is a Masters class so I want you to explore a bit and figure this out. One good video is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6JehM0WDTI.
6. After you are done using Rufus where you have installed Paladin.ISO on the USB device and made it bootable then make sure the USB device is in the PC.
7. Restart your PC. Press F9(HP) laptop) or F12 (Dell laptop) so you can be taken into the BIOS bootup menu.
8. This is where things get a bit tricky e.g. your compute may be configured differently where you have to adjust your BIOS settings. If you do not feel comfortable doing this then stop here. I do not want you to mess up your computer. You have already earned ten extra points!
9. If you still proceed then you will see a list of bootable devices. You may, for example, see a list of devices. Pick the device .

Case Study- KFC Business Analysis
Abstract
Introduced in 1952 by Colonel Sanders
Second largest restaurant chain today in terms of popularity
Annual revenue of $23 billion
Diversified its menu to suit cultural needs of people across different countries
Hindering factors in KFC’s growth are growing consumer health consciousness, animal welfare criticism, environmental criticism
Introduction
KFC was born in 1952 and its founder was Colonel Sanders
First franchise to grow globally over international market
By the 1960s – 1980s the market was booming in countries like England, Mexico, China
Management and ownership transferred over the years to Heublin, Yum Brands and PepsiCo.
Annual revenue of $23 billion in 2013
KFC had expanded its menu to suit cultural needs of people across different countries
Hindering factors in KFC’s growth are growing consumer health consciousness, animal welfare criticism, environmental criticism, logistic management issue in UK, cultural differences in Asian countries towards accepting the fried chicken menu.
Factors contributing to KFC’s global success
The core reason for KFCs success is it’s mandate to follow strict franchise protocols that have continuously satisfied customers demands:
The quality of the chicken cooked in KFC has certain specific guidelines
The size of the restaurant should be 24x60 feet.
The restaurant washrooms and ktichen has certain cleanliness standards
Food that is not sold off needs to be trashed
The workers need to have a specific clothing and uniform.
A certain % of the gross earnings should be used for advertisement and R&D
Air conditioning is mandatory in the outlets
Global number of KFC restaurants in the past decade
Importance of cultural factors to KFC’s sales success in India and China
Culture is the collective programming of the human mind that distinguishes the members of one human group from those of another. Culture in this sense is a system of collectively held values
“Culture is everything that people have, think, and do as members of their society”, which demonstrating that culture is made up of (1) material objects; (2) ideas, values, attitudes and beliefs; and (3) specified, or expected behavior.
Many scholars have theorized and studied the notion of cross-cultural adaptation, which tends to move from one culture to another one, by learning the elements such as rules, norms, customs, and language of the new culture (Oberg 1960, Keefe and Padilla 1987, Kealey 1989). According to Ady (1995),
“Cultural adaptation is the evolutionary process by which an individual modifies his personal habits and customs to fit into a particular culture. It can also refer to gradual changes within a culture or society that occur as people from different backgrounds participating in the culture and sharing their perspectives and practices.”
Cultural factors in India that go against KFC’s original recipe.

NCR Country Club started out as a benefit for thousands of National Cash Register employ-
ees. By the late 1990s, those employees were aging rapidly and the core membership needed
to be increased. NCRCC offers two golf courses. One is an award winning, championship-
hosting course on the PGA tour. But it wasn’t attracting new members, especially younger
families. This case is about a membership study done as part of a larger management
initiative to evaluate several strategic directions the club might take to expand its member-
ship. www.ncrcountryclub.com
>Abstract
>The Scenario
NCR Country Club (NCRCC) started in 1954 as an employee benefit of the National
Cash Register Co. but is now an open-membership club. This country club located
in Kettering, Ohio (near Dayton), hosts two 18-hole golf courses. The NCR South
course, a par 71 championship course of 6,824 yards of heavily wooded rolling
countryside, the site of the 1996 PGA Championship, the 1986 U.S. Open, and the
1998 U.S. Mid-Amateur, is consistently ranked by Golf Digest as one of the top
100 courses in the United States. The prairie-links style of the North course, a
6,358-yard par 70 course, is considered challenging. In southwestern Ohio, the
active golf season usually lasts from May through October. Within a 30-minute radius
of NCRCC, the avid golfer will find eight other private golf and country clubs as well
as 29 public golf clubs and courses.
In 1997, after the purchase of NCR Corporation by AT&T, AT&T provided
a $4.0 million interest-free loan to raze the original clapboard-sided clubhouse and
replace it with an all-brick colonial-style facility. Boasting both formal and informal,
inside and outside eating facilities as well as banquet and party rooms, the members
voted that the new clubhouse would be totally smoke-free. The rich cherrywood
paneling and the hunter green and burgundy décor mellow the high-ceiling, interior
spaces. Golf memberships are $20,000 with social (nongolf) memberships at $1,000
each. NCR employees did not and do not pay membership fees to join. Additionally,
each member must spend $150 per quarter in dining receipts and pay $225 (golf) or
$160 (social) in annual dues.
Needing to attract new members to support the renovated facility after AT&T
divested itself of NCR and given the growing age of its members, NCRCC
implemented an aggressive membership campaign in 1998. The goal was to bring
golf memberships to 680 and attract as many social memberships as possible. After
only moderate success, NCRCC commissioned McMahon Group to assist with
strategic planning.

Business ProposalThe Business Proposal is the major writing .docx
Business Proposal
The Business Proposal is the major writing assignment in the course. You are to create and submit a formal proposal that suggests how to change something within an organization. This organization can be large or small, a place of employment now or in the past, or an organization to which the students belong. From past experiences, it is best to use a business with fewer than 200 employees, and one with which you have personal experience. It could be a place where you currently work or a place you have worked or volunteered in the past.
The change can be specific to a unit or can apply to the whole organization; it can relate to how important information is distributed, who has access to important information, how information is accessed, or any other change in practices the students see as having a benefit. The proposal should be directed to the person or committee with the power to authorize the change. However, if you are working within a large organization, and asking for a small organizational change, communicating with a CEO or president may not make the most sense. You need to think about who within the organization might be the best person for the type of change suggested.
For the submission, you are to follow the guidelines for formal proposals available in Chapter 10 of the text. You can review 10.1, 10.4, and 10.19 for more information about specific components for a well-written formal business proposal. A complete proposal must have all required sections of a formal report excluding the copy of an RFP and the Authorization. The final draft of the proposal should be 1500–2000 words, and include the following necessary formal proposal components:
Letter of transmittal
Executive summary
Title page
Table of contents
List of illustrations
Introduction
Background: Purpose/problem
Proposal: plan, schedule, details
Staffing
Budget
Appendix
Formatting does matter for this assignment, and you are to check the text for details about how to format and draft the different proposal segments. Proposals don't just have text; graphics and charts are necessary, too. In addition, research is important, and footnotes and references must be included. All content should be concise, clear, and detailed. The proposal should be well-written with appropriate grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
This is a scaffolded writing project that consists of four assignments.

Developing a successful governance strategy
A Best Practice guide for decision makers in IT
The effective use of information technology is now an accepted organisational imperative - for
all businesses, across all sectors - and the primary motivation; improved communications and
commercial effectiveness. The swift pace of change in these technologies has consigned many
established best practice approaches to the past. Today's IT decision makers and business
managers face uncertainty - characterised by a lack of relevant, practical, advice and standards
to guide them through this new business revolution.
Recognising the lack of available best practice guidance, the National Computing Centre has

Abstract: This paper is dealing with the importance of business processes regarding costs
tracking and cost management in healthcare institutions. Various changes within the health
care system and funding of hospitals require the introduction of management information
systems and cost accounting. The introduction of cost accounting in public hospitals would
allow the planning and control of costs, monitoring of costs per patient or service and the
calculation of indicators for the analysis and assessment of the economic performance of the
business of public hospitals and lead to the transparency of budget spending. A model that
would be suited to the introduction in the public hospital is full cost allocation model based on
activities or processes that occur, known as the ABC method. Given that this is a calculation
of cost of services provided through various internal business processes, it is important to
identify all business processes in order to be able to calculate the costs incurred by services.
Although the hospital does not do business with the aim to make a profit, they must follow all
the costs (direct and indirect) to be able to calculate the full costs i.e. the price of the service
provided. In addition, the long-term sustainability of business activities in terms of funding
difficulties and the continuous growth of cost of services provided, hospitals must control and
reduce the cost of the program and specific activities. Therefore, the objective of this paper is
to point out the importance of business processes while introducing ABC method.

1 Introduction
In recent years, the efficiency of the management in health care services and the system of
quality in health care institutions significantly increased. Patients expect more from
healthcare providers and higher standards of care. At the same time, those who pay for
health services are increasingly concerned about the rising costs of health care services, but
also the potential ineffectiveness of the health care system. Consequently, there is a broad
interest in understanding the ways of efficient work of health care management and .

Foreword: WIDA ACCESS for ELLs® Sample Items
The WIDA Consortium is pleased to provide this collection of sample
ACCESS for ELLs® test items for educators interested in a better understanding
of this English language proficiency assessment. While the security of test items
in actual use in WIDA assessments is a top priority, it is also extremely important
that educators have good, freely available sample items that provide a strong
sense for them, their students, parents, and the general public of what taking
the ACCESS for ELLs® English language proficiency assessment entails. In
addition, educators in university preparation programs can benefit from learning
more about ACCESS for ELLs® prior to their work within school settings. While
familiarity with the “look and feel” of the test is an important consideration,
teachers can also greatly benefit from seeing connections between ACCESS for
ELLs® test items and the WIDA English Language Proficiency Standards upon
which the items are directly based.
We want to encourage teachers to “teach to the standards, not to the test.”
More specifically, we want to promote the use of standards to guide students’
language learning rather than focusing instruction on preparing them for possible
test items. In seeing the close relationship between the standards and the test,
we believe that teachers can feel confident that by incorporating the standards
into classroom instruction and assessment, they will better prepare their students
for linguistic proficiency and in turn, provide access to academic success. Such
preparation will, over time, help boost the academic achievement of English
Language Learners, which should be reflected in future test scores.

Informative speech on George Stinney Jr.
A. Info research analysis
The general purpose of the speech was to inform people about the civil injustice being done against the African American community in the United States. The specific purpose of the speech was to portray to the audience how an innocent 14-year old black boy suffered in the hands of the South Carolina State law enforcing officers. He was falsely accused of killing two white girls and electrocuted within two months after conviction.
I decided the topic of my speech after perusing through all the suggested topics ad found that the story of George Stinney Jr. was touching and emotional entirely.
This topic benefits the audience and the society in general by giving them an insight of the cruelty that the American law system has against the African American community. The audience gets to know how the shady investigations were done with claims that George had pleaded guilty to the charges of murder when there was no real evidence tying him to the crime or a signed plea agreement.
The alternative view that I found in the research was the version of the investigating officer of the case who claimed that the 14-year old boy managed to kill two girls aged 11 and 7 with a blunt object and ditch them in a nearby trench. This alternative point of view did not make sense because it is hard for a 14-year old boy to use the force that was reported by postmortem results to kill the girls. Therefore, I knew everything was a lie and I had to take the point of view of George’s innocence.
B. informative outline
Introduction:
George Stinney Jr. was an African American boy born on October 21, 1929 in Pinewood, South Carolina, U.S. He is considered as the youngest person to be executed by the United State government in 20th century.

PALADIN ASSIGNMENT
Scenario:
You are given a PC and you are faced with this scenario: you don’t know the password to the PC which means you can’t login so you can use a forensic tool like FTK IMAGER to capture the hard drive as a bit-for-bit forensic image AND/OR
1. The hard drive is either soldiered onto the motherboard (there are some new hard drives like this!) or cannot be removed because the screws are stripped (this has happened to me);
2. Even if you figured out the password or got an admin password the PC may have its USB ports blocked via a GPO policy (this is very common in corporations now);
3. Even if you can get the GPO policy overridden you may have some concerns about putting it on the network (which is true especially if you are dealing with malware).
So what you can you do? The best solution is to boot the PC up into forensically sound environment that lets you bypass the password aspect; GPO policy; etc and take a bit-for-bit image. One software that has done the job very well for me is Paladin.
How to get points
If you can send me a screenshot showing me that you had installed Paladin .ISO and made your USB device a bootable device with Paladin using Rufus then you get 10 points.
If you can send me a screenshot showing that you had a chance to boot your computer into Paladin then you will earn an extra 10 points. It is not necessary for you to take a forensic image of your PC but I have included generic instructions here.
Assumptions:
1. You have downloaded Rufus on your computer
2. You have downloaded Paladin on your computer.
Instructions:
1. Make sure you have at least one USB drive.
2. If not down already, download Rufus from https://rufus.ie/.
3. If not done already, download the Paladin ISO image from this website: https://sumuri.com/product/paladin-64-bit-version-7/ which is free. It’s suggested price is $25.00 but you can adjust the price to $0 then order. To be clear – do not pay anything.
4. Insert the USB device in your computer.
5. Run Rufus where you install the Paladin .ISO file on the USB device and make it bootable. Now I could provide you step by step instructions, but this is a Masters class so I want you to explore a bit and figure this out. One good video is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6JehM0WDTI.
6. After you are done using Rufus where you have installed Paladin.ISO on the USB device and made it bootable then make sure the USB device is in the PC.
7. Restart your PC. Press F9(HP) laptop) or F12 (Dell laptop) so you can be taken into the BIOS bootup menu.
8. This is where things get a bit tricky e.g. your compute may be configured differently where you have to adjust your BIOS settings. If you do not feel comfortable doing this then stop here. I do not want you to mess up your computer. You have already earned ten extra points!
9. If you still proceed then you will see a list of bootable devices. You may, for example, see a list of devices. Pick the device .

Group B
Case Study- KFC Business Analysis
Abstract
Introduced in 1952 by Colonel Sanders
Second largest restaurant chain today in terms of popularity
Annual revenue of $23 billion
Diversified its menu to suit cultural needs of people across different countries
Hindering factors in KFC’s growth are growing consumer health consciousness, animal welfare criticism, environmental criticism
Introduction
KFC was born in 1952 and its founder was Colonel Sanders
First franchise to grow globally over international market
By the 1960s – 1980s the market was booming in countries like England, Mexico, China
Management and ownership transferred over the years to Heublin, Yum Brands and PepsiCo.
Annual revenue of $23 billion in 2013
KFC had expanded its menu to suit cultural needs of people across different countries
Hindering factors in KFC’s growth are growing consumer health consciousness, animal welfare criticism, environmental criticism, logistic management issue in UK, cultural differences in Asian countries towards accepting the fried chicken menu.
Factors contributing to KFC’s global success
The core reason for KFCs success is it’s mandate to follow strict franchise protocols that have continuously satisfied customers demands:
The quality of the chicken cooked in KFC has certain specific guidelines
The size of the restaurant should be 24x60 feet.
The restaurant washrooms and ktichen has certain cleanliness standards
Food that is not sold off needs to be trashed
The workers need to have a specific clothing and uniform.
A certain % of the gross earnings should be used for advertisement and R&D
Air conditioning is mandatory in the outlets
Global number of KFC restaurants in the past decade
Importance of cultural factors to KFC’s sales success in India and China
Culture is the collective programming of the human mind that distinguishes the members of one human group from those of another. Culture in this sense is a system of collectively held values
“Culture is everything that people have, think, and do as members of their society”, which demonstrating that culture is made up of (1) material objects; (2) ideas, values, attitudes and beliefs; and (3) specified, or expected behavior.
Many scholars have theorized and studied the notion of cross-cultural adaptation, which tends to move from one culture to another one, by learning the elements such as rules, norms, customs, and language of the new culture (Oberg 1960, Keefe and Padilla 1987, Kealey 1989). According to Ady (1995),
“Cultural adaptation is the evolutionary process by which an individual modifies his personal habits and customs to fit into a particular culture. It can also refer to gradual changes within a culture or society that occur as people from different backgrounds participating in the culture and sharing their perspectives and practices.”
Cultural factors in India that go against KFC’s original recipe.

NCR Country Club started out as a benefit for thousands of National Cash Register employ-
ees. By the late 1990s, those employees were aging rapidly and the core membership needed
to be increased. NCRCC offers two golf courses. One is an award winning, championship-
hosting course on the PGA tour. But it wasn’t attracting new members, especially younger
families. This case is about a membership study done as part of a larger management
initiative to evaluate several strategic directions the club might take to expand its member-
ship. www.ncrcountryclub.com
>Abstract
>The Scenario
NCR Country Club (NCRCC) started in 1954 as an employee benefit of the National
Cash Register Co. but is now an open-membership club. This country club located
in Kettering, Ohio (near Dayton), hosts two 18-hole golf courses. The NCR South
course, a par 71 championship course of 6,824 yards of heavily wooded rolling
countryside, the site of the 1996 PGA Championship, the 1986 U.S. Open, and the
1998 U.S. Mid-Amateur, is consistently ranked by Golf Digest as one of the top
100 courses in the United States. The prairie-links style of the North course, a
6,358-yard par 70 course, is considered challenging. In southwestern Ohio, the
active golf season usually lasts from May through October. Within a 30-minute radius
of NCRCC, the avid golfer will find eight other private golf and country clubs as well
as 29 public golf clubs and courses.
In 1997, after the purchase of NCR Corporation by AT&T, AT&T provided
a $4.0 million interest-free loan to raze the original clapboard-sided clubhouse and
replace it with an all-brick colonial-style facility. Boasting both formal and informal,
inside and outside eating facilities as well as banquet and party rooms, the members
voted that the new clubhouse would be totally smoke-free. The rich cherrywood
paneling and the hunter green and burgundy décor mellow the high-ceiling, interior
spaces. Golf memberships are $20,000 with social (nongolf) memberships at $1,000
each. NCR employees did not and do not pay membership fees to join. Additionally,
each member must spend $150 per quarter in dining receipts and pay $225 (golf) or
$160 (social) in annual dues.
Needing to attract new members to support the renovated facility after AT&T
divested itself of NCR and given the growing age of its members, NCRCC
implemented an aggressive membership campaign in 1998. The goal was to bring
golf memberships to 680 and attract as many social memberships as possible. After
only moderate success, NCRCC commissioned McMahon Group to assist with
strategic planning.

Business ProposalThe Business Proposal is the major writing .docx
Business Proposal
The Business Proposal is the major writing assignment in the course. You are to create and submit a formal proposal that suggests how to change something within an organization. This organization can be large or small, a place of employment now or in the past, or an organization to which the students belong. From past experiences, it is best to use a business with fewer than 200 employees, and one with which you have personal experience. It could be a place where you currently work or a place you have worked or volunteered in the past.
The change can be specific to a unit or can apply to the whole organization; it can relate to how important information is distributed, who has access to important information, how information is accessed, or any other change in practices the students see as having a benefit. The proposal should be directed to the person or committee with the power to authorize the change. However, if you are working within a large organization, and asking for a small organizational change, communicating with a CEO or president may not make the most sense. You need to think about who within the organization might be the best person for the type of change suggested.
For the submission, you are to follow the guidelines for formal proposals available in Chapter 10 of the text. You can review 10.1, 10.4, and 10.19 for more information about specific components for a well-written formal business proposal. A complete proposal must have all required sections of a formal report excluding the copy of an RFP and the Authorization. The final draft of the proposal should be 1500–2000 words, and include the following necessary formal proposal components:
Letter of transmittal
Executive summary
Title page
Table of contents
List of illustrations
Introduction
Background: Purpose/problem
Proposal: plan, schedule, details
Staffing
Budget
Appendix
Formatting does matter for this assignment, and you are to check the text for details about how to format and draft the different proposal segments. Proposals don't just have text; graphics and charts are necessary, too. In addition, research is important, and footnotes and references must be included. All content should be concise, clear, and detailed. The proposal should be well-written with appropriate grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
This is a scaffolded writing project that consists of four assignments.

Developing a successful governance strategy
A Best Practice guide for decision makers in IT
The effective use of information technology is now an accepted organisational imperative - for
all businesses, across all sectors - and the primary motivation; improved communications and
commercial effectiveness. The swift pace of change in these technologies has consigned many
established best practice approaches to the past. Today's IT decision makers and business
managers face uncertainty - characterised by a lack of relevant, practical, advice and standards
to guide them through this new business revolution.
Recognising the lack of available best practice guidance, the National Computing Centre has
created the Best Practice Series to capture and define best practice across the key aspects of
successful business.

Abstract: This paper is dealing with the importance of business processes regarding costs
tracking and cost management in healthcare institutions. Various changes within the health
care system and funding of hospitals require the introduction of management information
systems and cost accounting. The introduction of cost accounting in public hospitals would
allow the planning and control of costs, monitoring of costs per patient or service and the
calculation of indicators for the analysis and assessment of the economic performance of the
business of public hospitals and lead to the transparency of budget spending. A model that
would be suited to the introduction in the public hospital is full cost allocation model based on
activities or processes that occur, known as the ABC method. Given that this is a calculation
of cost of services provided through various internal business processes, it is important to
identify all business processes in order to be able to calculate the costs incurred by services.
Although the hospital does not do business with the aim to make a profit, they must follow all
the costs (direct and indirect) to be able to calculate the full costs i.e. the price of the service
provided. In addition, the long-term sustainability of business activities in terms of funding
difficulties and the continuous growth of cost of services provided, hospitals must control and
reduce the cost of the program and specific activities. Therefore, the objective of this paper is
to point out the importance of business processes while introducing ABC method.
Keywords: Business Processes, Cost management, ABC method, Healthcare Institutions

1 Introduction
In recent years, the efficiency of the management in health care services and the system of
quality in health care institutions significantly increased. Patients expect more from
healthcare providers and higher standards of care. At the same time, those who pay for
health services are increasingly concerned about the rising costs of health care services, but
also the potential ineffectiveness of the health care system. Consequently, there is a broad
interest in understanding the ways of efficient work of health care management and .

Foreword: WIDA ACCESS for ELLs® Sample Items
The WIDA Consortium is pleased to provide this collection of sample
ACCESS for ELLs® test items for educators interested in a better understanding
of this English language proficiency assessment. While the security of test items
in actual use in WIDA assessments is a top priority, it is also extremely important
that educators have good, freely available sample items that provide a strong
sense for them, their students, parents, and the general public of what taking
the ACCESS for ELLs® English language proficiency assessment entails. In
addition, educators in university preparation programs can benefit from learning
more about ACCESS for ELLs® prior to their work within school settings. While
familiarity with the “look and feel” of the test is an important consideration,
teachers can also greatly benefit from seeing connections between ACCESS for
ELLs® test items and the WIDA English Language Proficiency Standards upon
which the items are directly based.
We want to encourage teachers to “teach to the standards, not to the test.”
More specifically, we want to promote the use of standards to guide students’
language learning rather than focusing instruction on preparing them for possible
test items. In seeing the close relationship between the standards and the test,
we believe that teachers can feel confident that by incorporating the standards
into classroom instruction and assessment, they will better prepare their students
for linguistic proficiency and in turn, provide access to academic success. Such
preparation will, over time, help boost the academic achievement of English
Language Learners, which should be reflected in future test scores.

Business Planning and Program Planning A strategic plan.docx
This document discusses business planning and program planning. It explains that a strategic plan specifies how a program will achieve its objectives, while a business plan defines the path of a business and includes its organizational structure and financial projections. The document also discusses how the financial projection element of a business plan can impact a program's strategic planning process by influencing the program's budget. Finally, it notes that a program plan should include a funding request, as outlined in a business plan, to help secure necessary resources and facilitate achieving the program's goals and objectives.

BUSINESS PLAN FORMAT Whether you plan to apply for a bu.docx
BUSINESS PLAN FORMAT
Whether you plan to apply for a business loan or not, you need to have a roadmap or plan to get you from where you are to the successful operation of your business. The pages that follow demonstrate the content of a simple business plan which has been found to be successful in obtaining startup funds from banks. You are encouraged to use all or whatever portions of this fit your business.
Please DO NOT write page after page of drivel or copy from someone else’s plan or one of those templates you can find on the Internet. In most cases this will not “sound" like you, nor will it be short and to the point. Those who read these things are busy people and will not be inclined to spend time reading irrelevant paperwork.
Throughout this sample, there are
italicized
comments which are meant to guide you in preparation. If you follow this format it is reasonable to expect a finished document with 15-20 pages plus the supporting documents in the last section.
If you have good quality pictures of your space, products or other items, you might include them as another way to convey just what you plan to do. A map of your location, diagram of floor space, or other illustration is also sometimes helpful. On the other hand, do not add materials simply to “bulk-up” the report.
While content is critical, it is also important to make this presentation look as good as possible. For this course, you will create the business plan in Word and submit the plan and all attachments through the Assignment drop box. That means all attachments have to be in digital form. For a bank loan or an investor, you would normally provide them with a print version. Print the pages in black ink on a high quality tinted letterhead paper. Color is not necessary but would add some interest in headlines, etc. Bind the document in a presentation folder or with a spiral binding. Don’t simply punch a staple in the upper left corner.
If your were going to pursue a bank loan or an investor, it would be normal to take this business plan to your SCORE counselor for a review and critique.
NOTE: Before you begin your inspection of the simple plan outline which follows, take a moment to review the Business Plan Checklist on the next page.
BUSINESS PLAN CHECKLIST
By way of review, here is a concise list of the basic requirements for a Business Plan, as recommended by the MIT Enterprise Forum:
·
Appropriate Arrangement
- prepare an executive summary, a table of contents and chapters in the right order.
·
Right Length
- make it not too long and not too short, not too fancy and not too plain.
·
Expectations
- give a sense of what founder(s) and the company expect to accomplish three to seven years in the future.
·
Benefits
- explain in quantitative and qualitative terms the benefit to the consumer of the products and services.
·
Marketability
- present hard evidence of the mar.

- 4. QUESTION 1 – WHAT TO DO? (19 marks) Linda Lindeman, manager and owner of an advertising company in Charlotte, North Carolina, had arranged a meeting with Eric Weddle, the chief accountant of a large, local competitor. The two are lifelong friends. They grew up together in a small town and attended the same university. Eric was a competent, successful accountant but currently was experiencing some personal financial difficulties. The problems were created by some investments that had turned sour, leaving him with a $25,000 personal loan to pay off just at the time his oldest son was scheduled to enter college. Linda, on the other hand was struggling to establish a successful advertising business. She had recently acquired the rights to open a branch of a large regional advertising firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. During her first two years, she had managed to build a small, profitable practice; however, the chance to gain a significant foothold in the Charlotte advertising community hinged
- 5. on the success of winning a bid to represent the state of North Carolina in a major campaign to attract new industry and tourism. The meeting she had scheduled with Eric concerned the bid she planned to submit. Linda: “Eric, I'm at a critical point in my business venture. If I can win the bid for the state’s advertising dollars, I'll be set. Winning the bid will bring $750,000 to $1,000,000 of revenues into the firm. On top of that, I estimate that the publicity will bring another $350,000 to $400,000 of new business.” Eric: “I understand. My boss is anxious to win that business as well. It would mean a huge Increase in profits for my firm. It's a competitive business, though. As new as you are, I doubt that you'll have much chance of winning." Linda: "You may be wrong. You're forgetting two very important considerations. First, I have the backing of all the resources and talent of a regional firm. Second, I have some political
- 6. connections. Last year, I was hired to run the publicity side of the governor's campaign. He was impressed with my work and would like me to have this business. I am confident that the proposals I submit will be very competitive. My only concern is to submit a bid that beats your firm. If I come in with a lower bid and good proposals, the governor can see to it that I get the work." Eric: "Sounds promising. If you do win, however, there will be a lot of upset people. After all, they are going to claim that the business should have been given to local advertisers, not to some out-of-state firm. Given the size of your office, you'll have to get support from Atlanta. You could take a lot of heat." Linda; "True. But I am the owner of the branch office. That fact alone should blunt most of the criticism. Who can argue that I'm not local? Listen, with ·your help, I think I can win this bid. Furthermore, if I do win it, you can reap some direct benefits. With that kind of business; I can afford to hire an accountant, and I'll make it worthwhile for you to transfer jobs. I can offer you an up-front bonus of $25,000. On top of that, I'll increase your
- 7. annual salary by 20 percent. That should solve most of your financial difficulties. After all, we have been friends since day one and what are friends for?" QUESTION-1 (CONTINUED) Eric: "Linda, my wife would be ecstatic if I were able to improve our financial position as Quickly as this opportunity affords. I certainly hope that you win the bid. What kind of help can I provide?" Linda: "Simple. To win, all I have to do is beat the bid of your firm. Before 1 submit my bid, I would like you to review it. With the financial skills you have, it should be easy for you to spot any excessive costs that I may have included. Or perhaps I included the wrong kind of costs. By cutting excessive costs and eliminating costs that may not be directly related to the project, my bid should be competitive enough to meet or beat your firm's bid."
