SUMMARY
Supplement to Chapter Fourteen Maintenance
Maintaining the productive capability of an organization is an important function. Maintenance includes
all of the activities related to keeping facilities and equipment in good operating order and maintaining
the appearance ofbuildings and grounds.
The goal of maintenance is to minimize the total cost of keeping the facilities and equipment in good
working order. Maintenance decisions typically reflect a trade-off between preventive maintenance,
which seeks to reduce the incidence ofbreakdowns and failures, and breakdown maintenance, which
seeks to reduce the impact ofbreakdowns when they do occur.

Assignment for Chapter 3You are a Systems Analyst hired by zippy.docxssuser562afc1
Assignment for Chapter 3
You are a Systems Analyst hired by zippy freight company, a regional trucking firm which operates 25 small and medium size trucks. Loads and routes are determined by a dispatcher using index cards . She has been doing this job for 25 years, and prides herself on being able to get loads to their destination efficiently. The drivers all respect her knowledge.
The company owner has hired you because he wants to expand the company to 50 trucks within the next 12 months. He fears that with double the number of trucks, the dispatcher will not be able to keep up. Your job is to find the best technology solution for scheduling truck deliveries. Many such programs are available, so you have been able to find one that appears to be a good match. It will cost $125,000 for the hardware and software.
Respond to each of the following questions with a brief answer, based on what you have learned so far.
1. Do you see any issues with Technical, Organizational, or economic feasibility? What are they?
2. If the owner does not think that he can come up with the $125,000 can you suggest any other options for getting the functionality he needs? What are they?
Assignment for Chapter 4
There is a problem set of 15 problems for chapter 4 on pages 125 to 127 of your book . In a Word document, prepare responses to problems 4 and 5. You only need to do three questions instead of six ofr each one though. Submit to this link by Wednesday of next week before noon.
First Assignment for Chapter 7
Use Microsoft Word or the drawing application of your choice to create a context diagram for a hypothetical system design. Show at least two external entities and at least two data flows connecting the context diagram to each entity.
Accompany this with a description in your words addressing the following: 1) What functionality and what organization does the design apply to? 2) What information does each of the external entities put into or take out of the system? 3) What data elements are included in each data flow?
Example of #3: The data flow named "Student Biodata" contains the following elements: Gender (M/F), Date of Birth (date), Years of Education (integer), and Marital Status (Marrried/Not Married).

· Previous professional experiences that have had a profound.docxalinainglis
· Previous professional experiences that have had a profound effect:
Before I started college, my parents wanted me to excel in healthcare knowing its high demand. The path to health care and eventual employment in a notable hospital setting seemed less risky than the one of Art and design. A few networking events and some LinkedIn leads later I came across an opportunity to start a Biomedical Engineering startup in South Florida with two investors willing to mentor me in a field I wasn’t familiar with. Luckily this new venture I was undertaking had a somewhat speculative risk. I made sure they were mostly in my favor thanks to the connections my investors had in the industry, and my background in health care. My hard work and diligence paid off slowly teaching myself the mechanics of the industry through the engineers we would hire. I remember watching how they would calibrate medical devices from pumps to life-saving equipment in awe. And with the same tenacity absorbing all the medical jargon in the Biomed world. I was adamant about doing my best and being the best even if that meant leaving my creative dreams behind. We started the business almost four years ago as a small minority women-owned business in the corner of a business complex. Five biomedical engineers and six technicians later we are still scaling and have since expanded our office from that small corner to the entire business building. Currently, we are a nationally recognized Biomed and medical supply company for some of the largest healthcare facilities in both the civilian and government sector. Yet through out all the achievement I felt the only sense of raw passion was when I collaborated with my engineers in delivering problem solving services to the hospital we served. Their job was to service devices in a hospital at a micro level and I would bridge that gap by identifying problems and finding opportunities in product service at a large-scale. Working hand in hand with the engineers in articulating the hospital need for turnover I would use design through projective process in creating a plan that would work in the most practical sense.
This moment of free creative problem solving was the highlight of my job. It gave me an opportunity to realize that although at times my approach was unconventional it would work. My systematic methodology I had adapted from working with engineers and my innate out of the box idea would come to together to solve some of the most challenging issues. Little did I know that this minor stroke of self-awareness would one day have me consider architecture.
Your current strengths and weaknesses in reaching your goal.
I realized my creative talents in design could not flourish under the pressures of work. I would constantly leave the office feeling drained in a profession my heart was not set on. In this I learned my weakness was how far I was willing to neglect the urge for creativity, and in exchange it jeopardized my sense of purpos.
· Please select ONE of the following questions and write a 200-wor.docxalinainglis
· Please select ONE of the following questions and write a 200-word discussion.
1. The Federal Reserve Board has enormous power over people's lives with its power to set and influence policy that determines monetary policy in the United States. Do you think this is proper for a democracy to provide the FED with so such power? How is the FED held accountable?
2. Do you believe that the roles of government should change from era to era, or should the US determine the proper role of government and try to maintain it through the ages?
3. Explain Executive Power in the US Constitution and briefly the process by which it developed over the years. Do you think the Framers should have been more specific about the powers of the presidency? Should the country try to make it more specific today?
· Please read the discussions below and write a 100 to 150 words respond for each discussion.
1. (question 1) I do believe that this is proper for a democracy to provided such power to FED. Without the FED the economy would face two problem, which are recessions that can lead into depressions, and inflation. The FED needs to have power to endures the country will not fall into economic trouble. In class professor McWeeney stated that the FED has the power to increase interest rates to control inflation, and the power to decrease interest rates so that theres more money in the economy to create more business and jobs so there wont be a recession. The FED needs these power to try to put the economy in a sweet spot. The FED is held accountable to the government and public. The FED does this by being transparent and giving and annual report to congress.
2. (question 2) I believe that the roles of the government should be changed from era to era. My main reason the roles should be changed is because major changes are constantly happening in the field of law. For example, the progressive era and modern era had several economic reforms that had taken place including increased regulation, anti-trust activity, application of an income tax, raise on social insurance programs, etc. Throughout this time, the government gave women the right to vote. I believe the economy is growing rapidly due to employment relationships, better technology, education, new polices, social and economic changes. This is the reason why the roles of the government should be changed from era to era.

· If we accept the fact that we may need to focus more on teaching.docxalinainglis
· If we accept the fact that we may need to focus more on teaching civic responsibility, how can this work with both "policies and people" in the school where you become principal?
In order to increase the focus on teaching civic responsibility, policy must be in place supporting this goal. A school leader must be willing to invest time and funds into planning, training, and implementing curriculum that emphasizes civics. Staff members may have different levels of interest, understanding, and comfort when it comes to incorporating civic responsibility into their teaching, so providing professional development in this area would be critical. The strategic plan for integrating civic responsibility and the expectations for each teacher’s involvement should be clearly communicated. In addition to establishing these policies regarding civics education, the school leader and teachers must work to model civic responsibility. In addition to sharing his or her vision for increased focus on civics with the school staff, the school leader should work to share his or her vision with school board members, other district personnel including the superintendent, and the greater community. Lastly, school leaders need to support their staff as they take risks and work to develop and implement new activities, discussions, and projects centered around teaching civic responsibility.
· How will you lead your staff in this part of the curriculum?
In leading my staff in this part of the curriculum, I would work to secure professional development related to civic responsibility, as this is not an area that I have expertise in, and work as a staff to develop our vision and implementation goals. I would also provide examples such as the work of the exemplar schools described in the article in integrating civic responsibility across all content areas, implementing service-learning programs, and creating partnerships between the school and community. I would also work within PLTs to develop ways that civic responsibility could be incorporated within their curriculum and remind them that they have my support as they embark on this endea

Introduction
This week, we will explore risk management. Risk management is one of those areas in project management that separates good project managers from great project managers. A good project manager makes risk management an integral part of every phase of project work. Risks are identified, prioritized, and understood. There are clear responsibilities within the team as to whose is responsible for implementing a risk response to reduce the impact should it occur. So let's get started.
What is Risk?
*Risk: An uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on one or more project objectives.
Risks can be positive, meaning beneficial to the project, or they can be negative, meaning detrimental to the project.
Many students have a difficult time visualizing positive risks. A positive risk is an opportunity that may increase the probability of success, the return on investment, or the benefits of the project. They may also be ways to reduce project costs or ways to complete the project early. There may even be methods to improve project quality or overall performance. These are all examples of positive risks.
A negative risk can be easier to understand. It is the possibility that something will go wrong, a threat to the success of the project. It is important to remember that a risk is a possibility, not a fact. It is a potential problem. At GettaByte Software, there is the potential that a power outage would occur during data transfer. The potential exists that a key resource could become unavailable due to some unforeseen circumstance, like illness. Those are threats to the success of the project.
When buying a house to renovate, there are potential risks with respect to plumbing, wiring, the foundation, and so on.
A project manager needs to consider trying to make positive risks happen while trying to prevent negative ones from occurring. To do this, a project manager can take a proactive approach to risk management. This means he or she plans a risk response should it look as though the risk will become a reality. In this way, everyone knows exactly how to prepare and respond to the risk once it does become an issue.
The Risk Management Process
A project has both good and bad risks, which are referred to as positive and negative risks or opportunities and threats. For positive risks or opportunities, the project manager can choose from a range of risk responses. For threats, a project manager has a similar range of choices. The following, as described in the PMBOK® Guide, are the risk management processes.
Plan Risk Management:
· Risk Strategy

Helen Petrakis Identifying Data: Helen Petrakis is a 52-year-old, Caucasian female of Greek descent living in a four-bedroom house in Tarpon Springs, FL. Her family consists of her husband, John (60), son, Alec (27), daughter, Dmitra (23), and daughter Althima (18). John and Helen have been married for 30 years. They married in the Greek Orthodox Church and attend services weekly.
Presenting Problem: Helen reports feeling overwhelmed and “blue.” She was referred by a close friend who thought Helen would benefit from having a person who would listen. Although she is uncomfortable talking about her life with a stranger, Helen says that she decided to come for therapy because she worries about burdening friends with her troubles. John has been expressing his displeasure with meals at home, as Helen has been cooking less often and brings home takeout. Helen thinks she is inadequate as a wife. She states that she feels defeated; she describes an incident in which her son, Alec, expressed disappointment in her because she could not provide him with clean laundry. Helen reports feeling overwhelmed by her responsibilities and believes she can’t handle being a wife, mother, and caretaker any longer.
Family Dynamics: Helen describes her marriage as typical of a traditional Greek family. John, the breadwinner in the family, is successful in the souvenir shop in town. Helen voices a great deal of pride in her children. Dmitra is described as smart, beautiful, and hardworking. Althima is described as adorable and reliable. Helen shops, cooks, and cleans for the family, and John sees to yard care and maintaining the family’s cars. Helen believes the children are too busy to be expected to help around the house, knowing that is her role as wife and mother. John and Helen choose not to take money from their children for any room or board. The Petrakis family holds strong family bonds within a large and supportive Greek community.
Helen is the primary caretaker for Magda (John’s 81-year-old widowed mother), who lives in an apartment 30 minutes away. Until recently, Magda was self-sufficient, coming for weekly family dinners and driving herself shopping and to church. Six months ago, she fell and broke her hip and was also recently diagnosed with early signs of dementia. Helen and John hired a reliable and trusted woman temporarily to check in on Magda a couple of days each week. Helen would go and see Magda on the other days, sometimes twice in one day, depending on Magda’s needs. Helen would go food shopping for Magda, clean her home, pay her bills, and keep track of Magda’s medications. Since Helen thought she was unable to continue caretaking for both Magda and her husband and kids, she wanted the helper to come in more often, but John said they could not afford it. The money they now pay to the helper is coming out of the couple’s vacation savings. Caring for Magda makes Helen think she is failing as a wife and mother because she no longer ha.

Overview
: In Unit 1 and Unit 2, we focused on ways that writers build ideas from personal memories and experiences into interesting narratives that convey significance and meaning to new audiences. In Unit 3, we have been discussing how writers invent ideas by interacting with other communities through firsthand observation and description. These relationships and discoveries can give writers insight into larger concepts or ideas that are valuable to specific communities. For this writing project, you will use firsthand observations and discoveries to write about people and the issues that are important to them. Your evidence will come from the details you observe as you investigate other people, places, and events.
Assignment
Write an ethnography essay focused on a particular group of people and the routines or practices that best reveal their unique significance as a group.
An ethnography is a written description of a particular cultural group or community. For the ethnography essay, you can follow the guidelines in the CEL, p. 110-112. Your ethnography should:
· Begin with your observations of a particular group. Plan to observe this group 2-3 times, so that you can get a better sense of their routines, habits, and practices.
o
Note: if you cannot travel to observe a group or community, plan to observe that community digitally through website documents, social media, and/or emails exchanged with group members.
· Convey insight into the characteristics that give the group unique significance.
· Provide context and background, including location, values, beliefs, histories, rituals, dialogue, and any other details that help convey the group's significance.
· Follow a deliberate organizational pattern that focuses on one or more insights about the group while also providing details and information about the group's culture and routine
As you look back over your observations and notes, remember that your essay should do more than simply relate details without any larger significance. Ethnographies also draw out the unique, interesting, and special qualities of a group or culture that help readers connect to their values or motivations. Note: Please keep in mind that writing in this class is public, and anything you write about may be shared with other students and instructors. Please only write about details that you are comfortable making public within our classroom community.

Learning Preferences of Millennials in a Knowledge-Based
Environment
Giora Hadar
University of Groningen (RuG), The Netherlands
[email protected]
Abstract: This paper discusses how understanding intergenerational knowledge transfer can improve knowledge transfer in
large organizations. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) risks significant loss of institutional human capital as huge
numbers of senior controllers retire. To perform their job, air traffic controllers must develop in-depth knowledge, including
tacit knowledge typically acquired over many years, so they can quickly make accurate decisions while dealing with the many
air traffic control (ATC) situations that arise. The only pool available to replace the retiring controllers is the Millennials. This
group, the best educated ever, has its own attitudes toward life, work, and training as well as technology use. Because
knowledge transfer and training involve both technology and human interaction, this paper explores not only the role of
technology but also that of intergenerational communications in both the training and operational environments of a highly
technical workplace.
Keywords: knowledge transfer, training, tacit knowledge, mentoring, mobile smart devices, communications

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

23. Q
Explarn the rationale behind using beta as a rneasure of risk.
Compute thc citmpany's beta
basecl on thc divisional bctas and colnpare it with that provided
by Valucline and Merrill
Lynch. Explain some of the inconsistencies that can be ftrund in
reportcd betas. Do historical
betas provide good measures of the future riskiness of flrlrs (or
divisions)'/
Using the cornputed beta, ijnd the cost of equity, the weighted
averagc cost of capital
(WACC), and thc hurdle rate lor the cornpany. Discuss the
negativc irnpact of the added prc-
mium to the cost ol'capital.
Compute the cost of ecluity ttrr each of the company's
divisions. Then. c()lnpute the WACC
ancl the hurdle rates fbr each division, assurning that all
divisions use a 42 percent dcbt ratitl.
Do you agree with Betty concerning the capital structure issue'l
Discuss several arguments
that Betty can use to help.justily using the cornpany rather than
divisional capital structure to
determinc WACC.
How would your thinking about the capital structure decision be
afl'ected if:
a. E,ach division raised its own debt; that is, il the divisions
werc sct up as wholly owned
subsidiaries. which then issued their own debt'l (ln tact.
24. Northern Forcst Products raises
dcbt capital at the corporate level, and headquarters then makes
lunds available to the
various divisions).
b. Divisions issued their own debt, but the corporation
guaranteed the divisional debt'l
Now assume that proiects are identified within divisions as
being high risk, average risk. or
low risk.
a. What hurdle rates would bc assigned [o proiects in the three
risk categories tbr the com-
pany and within each division'l
b. Hgw crtrnlbrtable are you with the l.l and 0.9 proiect risk-
adiustment t'actors'l Is there a
theoretical tbundation ibr the sizc ttl'these ad-iustments'l
Bctty's analysis requires estimated betas fbr NFP's five
divisions. Suppose she did not lbel
comfbrtable with beta analysis. Could divisional (and project)
hurdle rates be established
using total risk analysis? Il'so, describe how this rnight be done.
(Hint: The risk of divisions
(and projects) can be viewed on a stand-alone basis or on a
within-firrn basis. which treats
the firm as a portfblio of assets.)
Supposethat.dcspitethehighercostof capitaltbrriskyprojects(l.l
timesdivisionalcost),
the Plastic Products Division rnade relatively heavf
investt.nents in prtr.iects deemed to be
more risky than average. What ettbct would this have on the
firrn's corporate beta and over-
25. all cost of capital? How long would it take 1br the cff'ects ol
these relatively risky invest-
nlcnts to show up in the corporate beta as reported by brokers
and investrnent advisory
services'l
Compute the Payback, IRR, MIRR. and NPV fbr the example
cash flows. Discuss how the
risk adjustments attect the acceptability of the pro.ic'ct.
How do the Payback, IRR. MIRR. and NPV change if the
additional premium is reduced to
2 percentage points or to 0'?
Northcrn Frtrest Products uses an incentive-based
cclmpensation plan fbr its uppcr mcnage-
ment pcrsonnel.

FINAL GROUP PAPER
Critical Analysis Paper: Comparative Analysis of Cross Cultural
Leadership & Business Principles
Throughout your academic career, you'll be asked to write
papers in which you compare and contrast many things and to
research management theories, political figures, scientific
processes, and so on. In your careers as business professionals
and leaders, you will conduct a comparative analysis in many
forms when decision-making about alternative systems,
processes, etc…
There are different forms of comparative analysis. In one form,
you may be constructing an argument or building a case for A or
B. In a "classic" compare-and-contrast papers, you weigh or
discuss A and B equally, as two similar things that have crucial
differences (two pesticides with different effects on the
28. environment) or two similar things that have crucial differences,
yet turn out to have surprising commonalities (two politicians
with vastly different world views who voice unexpectedly
similar perspectives on healthcare equality).
In this course, International Business you will be writing a
“classic” comparative analysis paper in which you will compare
and contrast selected elements or sub- systems of a country’s
business structure & practices with those of a US businesses.
1. Select a country for comparison to the US. This may be a
country that we explored during a class session or one in which
you have a particular interest in. You must also select a
business within the country to profile in your classical
comparison
2. The complete assessment of an entire country’s business
structure not feasible for the scope of this assignment. Thus,
you will select a minimum of 5 factors in the country’s business
structure that you will compare to the same factors in the US.
There are a number of factors that explain business performance
in any country and many of these we have discussed in class.
The following are examples of factors that can be selected for
the basis of comparison, but are not limited to. You should use
the business / organization in which you selected to demonstrate
your comparison to the countries
Comparison Factors (Examples)
· Economic and Political Outlook (government structure,
employment, imports vs exports, governance, healthcare,
stability of the economy, laws …)
· Business Landscape – competitive structure, primary
industries, labor force, regulations, sourcing, taxes, wages
· Resources and work culture - professionals (education and
