A. Organizations typically adopt a consistent decentralization or centralization philosophy across all their business functions. Do you agree or disagree? Explain. B. define decentralization and provide an example of an organization that has successfully implemented this policy. C. How should managers deal with income tax issues when choosing a transfer-pricing method that involves multinational considerations? D. Solution A. Yes, I completely agree with this Statement. Every Organization adopt both the Philosophies. Organization must establish whether its decision-making policies are centralized or decentralized. Highly centralized companies tend to have more bureaucratic traits, while highly decentralized companies tend to appear more out of control. Both extremes appear engulfed with inefficiencies and waste. High performance work systems seem to have more decentralized decision-making features, yet their culture, formed around their philosophy and values, is highly centralized. Creating a centralized philosophy and value system allows employees to become more empowered to make their own decisions, leading to decentralization. B. Decentralization is characterized by relatively few layers of management, with few centralized policies and procedures. Each group, whether a division, location, or team, creates its own practices based mostly on the organization .

Five factors affecting organizational design.ppt
Five key factors influence organizational design: strategy, environment, technology, size/life cycle, and culture. There are also five principles of organizational design: specialization, coordination, knowledge/competence, control/commitment, and innovation/adaptation. Together, the factors and principles determine how responsibilities are allocated within an organization to encourage specialist skills, coordination between units, positioning tasks with those most knowledgeable, balancing control and commitment, and enabling flexibility to adapt to changes.

Centralized or Decentralized? View the resources here before answering the questions below.
Characterize businesses that you have previously worked for or currently work for as centralized or decentralized, more vertical (taller) or flatter. How did you make this determination? What impact would this have on the three types of company responsibility centers?
If you were to structure your own company would it be centralized or decentralized, taller or flatter and why? What are the benefits or drawbacks to the type of business you would own and explain whether you would use flexible or static budgeting and why?
Solution
A business is centralized if the decision making is focused on the top management. The top management decides on various issues, formulates policies and then distributes this information to the levels below it in the hierarchy.
In a decentralized business, the managers working in the lower order of hierarchy make decisions for their business units. Their decisions are then given to the hierarchies above them.
In a vertical structure the CEO sits at the top, followed by different levels of management. In a flatter structure, there are fewer levels of management.
I previously worked in a consultancy firm, having different departments like financial consultancy, IT consultancy, and forensic. The firm had a decentralized structure as each department were taking their own decisions, suiting to their needs and requirements.
The firm was more vertical as there was a CEO on top and there were different levels of management i.e team leads, group managers, AVP, VP and CEO.
Having a decentralized structure in the consultancy firm made each employee and manager at each level equally responsible for the responsibility centers like revenue centers, cost centers and profit centers.
If i were to structure my own company, i will make it a decentralized company with a flatter structure. This type of a structure empowers employees to contribute to the decision making process. Sales employees will be in a better position to make decisions regarding the sales department as they are more familiar to the requirements of the sales department. So this works best for the interest of the company.
I will use flexible budget, as it is more connected to the reality. Flexible budget changes with the actual activity, whereas static budget never changes. As flexible budget changes with actual activity, a real time analysis of the company\'s profit and loss can be done.

It discusses different leadership styles and organizational structures. It also outlines the steps in decision making, planning, and control processes. Different theories of motivation and types of ethics in management decision making are also summarized.
Cultural Alignment Post Merger Linked In
This document discusses cultural alignment in mergers and acquisitions. It notes that organizational culture is important and can differ between companies. A case study of a law firm merger is presented where the cultures were vastly different. Pre-merger work to understand differences and set new standards was important. Change management is key, and must address people systematically with communication and involvement. Alignment models provide steps like unfreezing the current culture and refreezing into a new integrated culture over time.
Policy Formulation for AR Cooperatives
Policies can emerge in four ways - through management, appeals, implied actions, or external imposition. They provide guidance for decisions and simplify recurring choices. Within organizations, policies form a hierarchy with broad strategic policies at the top refined into more specific guidelines lower down. Periodic reviews help ensure policies stay relevant as conditions change. In empowering organizations, fewer policies instead set ethical and strategic boundaries for employee discretion.

V3I2_InnovationDNA_EDS0408_emc
This document discusses how innovation and governance can be integrated within a company's culture. It argues that innovation and governance, while seeming like opposites, can thrive together when merged into a company's DNA and supported by strong leadership, cultural change, documented processes, and a rewards system. The document provides examples of industries that have successfully blended innovation and governance, and outlines best practices for governance and integrating the two, including establishing innovation teams and rewards programs for innovative employees.
Organizational structures and departmentation
There are four main types of organizational structures: tall, flat, virtual, and boundaryless. A tall structure has many management levels with each level controlling a small area. A flat structure has fewer levels and each controls a broad area to empower employees. A virtual structure uses technology to connect people who primarily interact electronically. A boundaryless structure encourages integration and partnership beyond traditional boundaries. Organizational structure determines roles and responsibilities and impacts effectiveness through communication and teamwork. Companies may structure themselves functionally by department, by product, customer, geography, or process as they expand.
Broadbanding
Broadbanding is a strategy that consolidates many traditional pay grades into a few wider salary ranges or "broad bands" in order to support more agile and flexible organizational structures. It reduces the number of salary grades by half to two-thirds and increases the spread between minimum and maximum pay to 75-125% to facilitate lateral moves, career development, and quicker responses to change. Most companies use 10 broadband levels, with 2 for executives, 4 for managers, and 4 for non-managers. While broadbanding aims to empower managers and focus on competencies over jobs, its success requires strong management training and commitment, and it risks employees rising too far above market rates without precise controls.
Definition of business policy
Business policy provides guidelines for decision making within an organization. It defines the scope of decisions that can be made by lower-level managers without consulting top management. Business policy guides an organization's actions through the acquisition of resources and deals with issues that impact long-term organizational success. Effective business policy is specific, clear, reliable, appropriate, simple, inclusive, flexible, and stable. Policy deals with routine activities, while strategy involves strategic decisions that the organization has not previously encountered. Policy is set by top management and guides daily operations, while strategy formulation involves middle management and the methods to achieve policy goals.
Centralization, decentralization & formalization
The document discusses centralization and decentralization in organizational structure, noting that centralization refers to higher-level managers making most decisions while decentralization distributes decision-making throughout the organization. It provides factors that influence whether an organization centralizes or decentralizes decision-making authority and indicates there has been a shift toward more decentralization as organizations seek flexibility. The document also covers formalization in organizational structure and its advantages and disadvantages.

Key concepts of management by jocy e. detecio
The document discusses organizations and management. It defines organizations as social entities that are goal oriented, deliberately structured systems of coordinated activity that are linked to their external environment. It also discusses that organizations comprise people who can resist demands on them collectively and individually.

You are the new CEO of a single-entity business that provides financial services to the insurance industry. The previous CEO left the organization “under a cloud” – nothing was ever proved, and he received the “normal” severance package.
Your early perception of the organization indicates there may have been some ethics problems in upper management. It appears no laws were broken, but it may be that some older employees did not receive expected and /or promised raises in pay. It is difficult to know this for sure because the company’s Performance Evaluation system has never been formalized.
The apparent ethics problems at the top have left many employees with an uneasy feeling. It has also resulted in an attitude on the part of many that retribution will be swift if an employee reports an ethics-related problem to management. It has been noticed that absenteeism has increased over the past 9 months. Also, employee turnover appears to be on the rise.
As CEO, what plans will you make and what actions will you take to overcome the apparent problems so a new strategic plan can be successfully implemented? This plan includes the introduction of a major new product. Also include the steps you should take to introduce the new strategic plan to the employees.

Do you believe it is possible to have effective overall management i.pdf
Do you believe it is possible to have effective overall management in a decentralized company?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of decentralization? Does a company getting so large
that it has to decentralize play a part in the gap between financial goals and actual ones? Please
give personal opinion, experience and cite information gathered through research of existing
companies’ experiences.
Solution
A. Yes decentralisation enhances effective overall management.
B. Advantages of decentralisation are as follows:
1. There is effecient and quick and quick decision making since chain for approval is short and
decisions are taken considering operational level challenges.
2. There is ease in expansion since chief executive director and team can focus on expansion
strategies.
3. It empower employees to make active participation and focus on companies growth as well.
4. It prepares employees and managers for emergency decision making where Business Owner
might not be available..
Disadvantages:
1. Each department becomes self centered focusing only on their own growth and not company.
2. Decentralization increases the problem of co-ordination among the various units.
3. It increases the administrative expenses because highly-paid managers have to be appointed.
4. There shall not be uniformity in policies and actions, since each manager will form his own
genius in designing them.
C. Decentralisation doesn’t part a gap between financial goals and actual ones provided profits
from each decentralised department are reviewed quarterly.
D. Johnson and Johnson is a decentralised company and doing well..

a) Compare interstitial and vacancy atomic mechanisms for diffusion.
(b) Cite two reasons why interstitial diffusion is normally more rapid than vacancy diffusion.
Solution
(a) With vacancy diffusion, atomic motion is from one lattice site to an adjacent vacancy. Self-diffusion and the
diffusion of substitutional impurities proceed via this mechanism. On the other hand, atomic motion is from
interstitial site to adjacent interstitial site for the interstitial diffusion mechanism.
(b) Interstitial diffusion is normally more rapid than vacancy diffusion because: (1) interstitial atoms, being smaller,
are more mobile; and (2) the probability of an empty adjacent interstitial site is greater than for a vacancy adjacent
to a host (or substitutional impurity) atom.

Do you believe it is possible to have effective overall management i.pdf
Do you believe it is possible to have effective overall management in a decentralized company?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of decentralization? Does a company getting so large
that it has to decentralize play a part in the gap between financial goals and actual ones? Please
give personal opinion, experience and cite information gathered through research of existing
companies’ experiences.
Solution
A. Yes decentralisation enhances effective overall management.
B. Advantages of decentralisation are as follows:
1. There is effecient and quick and quick decision making since chain for approval is short and
decisions are taken considering operational level challenges.
2. There is ease in expansion since chief executive director and team can focus on expansion
strategies.
3. It empower employees to make active participation and focus on companies growth as well.
4. It prepares employees and managers for emergency decision making where Business Owner
might not be available..
Disadvantages:
1. Each department becomes self centered focusing only on their own growth and not company.
2. Decentralization increases the problem of co-ordination among the various units.
3. It increases the administrative expenses because highly-paid managers have to be appointed.
4. There shall not be uniformity in policies and actions, since each manager will form his own
genius in designing them.
C. Decentralisation doesn’t part a gap between financial goals and actual ones provided profits
from each decentralised department are reviewed quarterly.
D. Johnson and Johnson is a decentralised company and doing well..

a) Compare interstitial and vacancy atomic mechanisms for diffusion- (.docx
a) Compare interstitial and vacancy atomic mechanisms for diffusion.
(b) Cite two reasons why interstitial diffusion is normally more rapid than vacancy diffusion.
Solution
(a) With vacancy diffusion, atomic motion is from one lattice site to an adjacent vacancy. Self-diffusion and the
diffusion of substitutional impurities proceed via this mechanism. On the other hand, atomic motion is from
interstitial site to adjacent interstitial site for the interstitial diffusion mechanism.
(b) Interstitial diffusion is normally more rapid than vacancy diffusion because: (1) interstitial atoms, being smaller,
are more mobile; and (2) the probability of an empty adjacent interstitial site is greater than for a vacancy adjacent
to a host (or substitutional impurity) atom.

B. from monitoring employee email communications? Discuss whether or not you think the company has a right to monitor email and personal use of the Internet and explain why.
C. Discuss the collection of evidence for audits of an AIS. How is it different from evidence collection for a company that doesn\'t utilize AIS?
Solution
1.\"Information is Power\" and this wisdom is being increasingly used in business .Companies collect demographic, psychographic and behavioural information of the customer through direct and indirect methods. While a survey could be a direct method , there are many data analytic tools that are available to collect data on psychographics and behaviour from the purcahse history of the buyers , and all thses are indirect methods. One of the example is of Facebook and Google monitoring the site visits of users and profileing them for more focused advertisements.
2.In this digital world where everyone is connected virtually , it is impossible to survive without mails , whether it is official or personal. Organizations should not snoop into personal mails of employees unless otherwise those mails are affecting official work.It is wrong to tresspass into private matters.

Indicate whether the factors are likely to make an investor prefer to receive more or fewer dividends. Factor Investors will likely prefer More dividends Fewer dividends Dividends are taxed in the year they are received, while capital gains are taxed when the stock is sold. When investors receive dividends today, they may choose to reinvest or consume goods. An investor is on a fixed income and depends upon returns from investment. If an investor dies, his heirs are not liable for taxes on the capital gains generated during the investor\'s life. They are only liable for the capital gains earned since the investor\'s death. The value of a dividend received today is known, but the value of a capital gain received in the future is uncertain.

Design a special tree data structure such that the branching factor of.docx
Design a special tree data structure such that the branching factor of the root is 3 and the branching factor of its children is two. After that the branching factor of a node is 2 if the node is child of a node with branching factor of 3 and its branching factor is 3 if it is the child of a node with branching factor of 2 in C++.
Solution
As an ADT, the abstract tree type T with values of some type E is defined, using the abstract forest type F (list of trees), by the functions:
value: T E
children: T F
nil: () F
node: E × F T
with the axioms:
value(node( e , f )) = e
children(node( e , f )) = f
In terms of type theory, a tree is an inductive type defined by the constructors nil (empty forest) and node (tree with root node with given value and children).

Describe- in detail- what would happen if you fell into a black hole-.docx
Describe, in detail, what would happen if you fell into a black hole, from both your perspective, and the perspective of someone who is watching you fall in. You should include specific effects, including effects on space, time, and what you would see.
Solution
It\'s safe to say you wouldn\'t survive the trip, so stay on this side of the Event Horizon if you ever want to be seen again.
Black Holes are massive objects occupying a tiny volume in space. When a super-massive star (many times larger than the Sun) stops sustaining enough nuclear fusion at its core to support its size, its mass may collapse into itself and form a Black Hole, sucking in everything around it. Our Milky Way galaxy spirals around a super-massive Black Hole at its center.
Since nothing can escape from the incredible gravitational pull of a Black Hole (even light itself), scientists can only speculate on what would happen to a person falling into a Black Hole. However, it does seem evident that the crushing gravity would not be kind to your body. Soon after passing the Event Horizon, the point of no return, your body\'s atomic structure would be ripped apart. The parts of your body closer to the singularity experience a stronger gravitational pull than the parts of your body further away from the singularity. This \"tidal gravity\" creates a differential gravitational pull on your body that literally stretches you out as you fall in. Alas, the rack of space-time is unforgiving to even the most pliant mind, and ultimately it\'s impossible to keep yourself together.

Describe what is meant by the dipole nature of a water molecule- How i.docx
Describe what is meant by the dipole nature of a water molecule. How is this related to adsorbed water? Why does the presence of water in soil typically have a much greater effect on clays than in granular soils (i.e. sand)?
Solution
Water consist of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The two hydrogen atoms are not symmetrically arranged around the oxygen atoms which leads to diploe nature of water.
Dipole water can be electrically attracted towards the surface of the clay particles. there are 3 mechanism by which water is attracted to surface of clay particles resulting in adsorbed water.
1) Attraction between negatively charged faces of clay particles and positive end of dipoles.
2) Attraction between cations in double layer and negatively charged ends of dipoles.
3) sharing of hydrogen atoms in water molecule by hydrogen bonding between oxygen atoms in clay particles and oxygen atoms in water molecule.
Since the water adsorbs on surface of clay particles, it affects various properties of clay like plasticity. The mechanisms by which water is attracted to clay particles does not takes place in granular soil. Hence water has greater effect in clayey soils than granular soils.

Describe the tree data structure- What is a root node- What is a child.docx
Describe the tree data structure. What is a root node? What is a child node? What is a leaf node? What is a subtree? What is the height of a tree? When is a tree full? When is a tree balanced? What is breadth-first traversal? What are the common methods for traversing a binary tree and processing the value of each node?
Solution
A tree is a special type of a graph where the tree contains the nodes and connected by means edges and doesnot have loops.
root node :the node or vertex at the top of a tree is termed as root node.
child node :the nodes that are below the rootnode or any particular node is termedas the child node.
leaf node :the node which doesnot possess any children node is defined as leaf node
subtree :the part of a tree is called subtree or the descendents of a tree.
height of a tree:is the number of edges from the leaf node to the root node.
full tree :full tree is binary tree all the nodes have two child nodes except the leaf nodes.
tree balanced :an AVL tree is said to balanced tree if the balancing factor ranges from -1 to +1
breadth first traversal :travelling the nodes of a tree in breadth wise manner that is all the nodes at the same height are travelled sequentially and then their childs are travelled.queue is used to travell in breadth first search
common ways of traversing are :1)breadth first search
2)depth first search

Describe the ways in which capital can be transferred from suppliers o.docx
Describe the ways in which capital can be transferred from suppliers of capital to those who are demanding capital.
Solution
The capital can flow from those who supply capital (lender) to those who demand it (borrower). This transfer of capital can take place in three different ways:
1. Direct transfer: In this case the borrower sells the stocks or bonds directly to the lender, without going through any type of financial institution.
2. Investment bank: An underwriter which facilitates the issuance of securities. The borrower sells its stocks or bonds to the investment bank, which in turn sells these same securities to the lender.
3. Other financial intermediary: In this case the intermediary obtains funds from the lender in exchange for its own securities. The intermediary uses this money to buy and hold businesses\' securities from the borrower in the market. Intermediaries create pool of capital.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
