Short term finance
This document discusses various types of short-term financing. It defines short-term financing as financing for one year or less, including short-term loans from banks, trade credit from suppliers, and commercial paper. The document outlines the advantages of short-term financing over long-term options and describes how firms can use accounts receivable and inventory as collateral for short-term loans. Various short-term financing sources and their costs are defined, including calculations for determining effective interest rates.
Cross trial
The document summarizes a randomized controlled trial that compared neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy plus surgery versus surgery alone for esophageal or junctional cancer. 368 patients were randomized to either neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy consisting of carboplatin, paclitaxel and radiotherapy followed by surgery, or surgery alone. The primary outcome was overall survival, with secondary outcomes including progression-free survival and progression-free interval. After a minimum follow-up of 5 years, long-term results demonstrated improved overall and progression-free survival for patients who received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy prior to surgery compared to surgery alone.

Cost of capital, Cost of debt, Cost of equity, Cost of preference shares, Wei...Dayana Mastura FCCA CA
This document discusses weighted average cost of capital (WACC) which is a calculation of a firm's cost of capital considering the costs of the different components of the firm's capital structure (debt, equity, preference shares). It defines WACC and explains its importance as the minimum return a firm needs to earn on new projects/investments to break even. The document also outlines how to calculate WACC and the costs of each capital component (cost of equity using CAPM, cost of debt, cost of preference shares). It discusses how WACC is used as a benchmark for projects, in determining leverage limits, for valuation, and in discounting cash flows in a DCF analysis.Cancers du sein : nouvelle classification TNM - 8è édition / AJCC

Strategic planning is a method for composing a plan which relates th.pdf
Strategic planning is a method for composing a plan which relates the overall vision of a
company or organization down to the individual programs and activities necessary to accomplish
it. Strategic planning is best defined as looking at where you want to go in the future and putting
together the resources, assets, and personnel to get there. What differentiates strategic from other
forms of planning is the focus on a broader goal for the future, a vision of what place in the
market the company wishes to pursue. The overall purpose of strategic planning is “to determine
where your market is going and find a way to continue servicing it (Your 2007 Strategic Plan
2006).” To accomplish this, a strategic plan relates an organization’s vision, its overall goals,
down to the individual programs, activities, and technologies which will attempt to accomplish
the vision. Once these programs are identified, a strategic plan will encompass an overall
business plan, or roadmap, which provides a structured timeline for accomplishing these
programs as well as the organizational vision.Regardless of which level of the organization is
performing the planning there are certain elements which it must possess in order to be
successful.These elements which include the following: long range direction, a framework for
linking decisions, being a living document, and being organizationally specific.
Long Range Direction :- The most important aspect of strategic planning is the focus on the long
term vision of the organization. Vision is the organization’s view of where it will be in future in
terms of its market, size, and accomplishments. Setting goals and milestones to be reached
within a certain timeframe will keep the organization focused on what it wants to accomplish.
This long range planning is essential to strategic planning because it sets a target. As Molvig
says, “long range planning looks at where you want to be in five years, strategic planning focuses
on how to position yourself to get there.” (Molvig 1993) In addition to analyzing where the
company wishes to be in the future, strategic planning involves determining what outside forces
may impact the vision. The actions of competitors, technological breakthroughs on the horizon,
and threats from changes in the world environment are just a few of the external forces which
should be considered in a good plan.
Framework for Linking Decisions:- Decisions are made at every level of an organization. From
the CEO down to the individual program managers resources are allocated, budgets developed
and schedules planned and carried out. Minztberg states, “The assumption of strategic planning
seems to be that objectives are decided upon the top management for the entire organization,
which in turn evoke the process of formulating strategy.” (Mintzberg, The Fall and Rise of
Strategic Planning 1994) Many times, each tier has complete autonomy and little direction
provided to link the decisions into a serious, well-c.
What is plane
“Plan is typically any diagram or list of steps with timing and resources, used to achieve an objective” The term planning implies the working out of sub-components in some degree of elaborate detail. Broader-brush enunciations of objectives may qualify as metaphorical roadmaps. Planning literally just means the creation of a plan; it can be as simple as making a list. It has acquired a technical meaning, however, to cover the area of government legislation and regulations related to the use of resources.

successful.These elements which include the following: long range direction, a framework for
linking decisions, being a living document, and being organizationally specific.
Long Range Direction :- The most important aspect of strategic planning is the focus on the long
term vision of the organization. Vision is the organization’s view of where it will be in future in
terms of its market, size, and accomplishments. Setting goals and milestones to be reached
within a certain timeframe will keep the organization focused on what it wants to accomplish.
This long range planning is essential to strategic planning because it sets a target. As Molvig
says, “long range planning looks at where you want to be in five years, strategic planning focuses
on how to position yourself to get there.” (Molvig 1993) In addition to analyzing where the
company wishes to be in the future, strategic planning involves determining what outside forces
may impact the vision. The actions of competitors, technological breakthroughs on the horizon,
and threats from changes in the world environment are just a few of the external forces which
should be considered in a good plan.
Framework for Linking Decisions:- Decisions are made at every level of an organization. From
the CEO down to the individual program managers resources are allocated, budgets developed
and schedules planned and carried out. Minztberg states, “The assumption of strategic planning
seems to be that objectives are decided upon the top management for the entire organization,
which in turn evoke the process of formulating strategy.” (Mintzberg, The Fall and Rise of
Strategic Planning 1994) Many times, each tier has complete autonomy and little direction
provided to link the decisions into a serious, well-c.
What is plane
“Plan is typically any diagram or list of steps with timing and resources, used to achieve an objective” The term planning implies the working out of sub-components in some degree of elaborate detail. Broader-brush enunciations of objectives may qualify as metaphorical roadmaps. Planning literally just means the creation of a plan; it can be as simple as making a list. It has acquired a technical meaning, however, to cover the area of government legislation and regulations related to the use of resources.

standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this

The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

While agile has entered the post-mainstream age, possibly losing its mojo along the way, the rise of remote working is dealing a more severe blow than its industrialization.
In this talk we'll have a look to the cumulative effect of the constraints of a remote working environment and of the common countermeasures.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

Build successful project strategy
- 2. INTRODUCTION Strategy means new direction: programs and projects are changing existing or introducing something new Strategy will always affect to how things are done, that’s why strategic project management should be always linked to enterprise objectives Booz Allen study concluded that 73% of managers believe that the difficulty of implementing strategy is in formulating it According to Lippit, Watson, and Westley (1958) target for any strategy is to change organization to act more favorable way
- 3. INTRODUCTION Success in strategy defined by Miller (1997) includes three parts 1. Completion of everything is done in expected period of time 2. Planned performance is achieved and 3. Organization has accepted a way to implement and expected outcomes If you put these into three principles of project management: scope relates to acceptance, completion to time/schedule and achievement to budget All projects need to be strategic, but the execution includes people and culture, methodology like tools and rules which are followed
- 4. START Learn your enterprise strategic objectives Define program and project targets Align them into Enterprise Strategic Objectives Setup KPIs which will be followed Think about how KPIs, strategy and all related will be communicated inside program and project and also to stakeholders and enterprise board of director level
- 5. START: TOOLS SWOT analysis Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats matrix Balanced scorecard Internal, Financial, Customer, Learning and growth perspectives Design thinking Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test phases
- 6. BUILD Create materials and documents which will link all together 1. Planning documents 2. Status reporting 3. Communication items After this is done, make simplified documentation how each new team member will be trained and communicated to all content Organize work shops or meetings if they are needed to have all relevant people involved in strategy building process
- 7. BUILD: TOOLS Project charter and plan You can also simplify by recognizing work packages and tasks only Different templates, for example trackers of issues/tasks You must know current readiness Linear Responsibility Chart It will be used to recognize people, roles and communication needs and tasks
- 8. IMPLEMENT The most important is to get all people known for strategy and objectives Next thing is to have stakeholders and sponsors really interested in your program and project matters If you want to implement successfully you need a plan and follow ups, someone who is responsible of communication (real examples) Strategies often failed because they didn’t collect feedback from people who are affected (don’t forget people)
- 9. IMPLEMENT: TOOLS Kick off meeting to collect all involved people Getting into same page when you start to put strategy into action Maslow’s hierarchy of needs To understand different levels, different targets of people AIDA communication method Attention, Interest, Desire, Action Feedback Negative and positive is important (weak signals)
- 10. MEASURE What kind of KPIs are good What kind of KPIs keep strategy in correct direction How we can avoid wrong doing, working against objectives Make KPIs clear, understandable and if any possibility to compare to other programs and projects and also in enterprise level (benchmark) Ask board of directors to be involved for setting right KPIs
- 11. OTHER Strategy process is a learning process No strategy can be successful without right people in your team and right directions to be understood Project portfolio management is good way to have linkages between all programs and projects to enterprise strategy process Known methods like earned value management is one way to start, it’s clearly measurable but it may also give wrong information to board of directors
- 12. CONCLUSION “The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do” Michael Porter Recognize importance in planning of project scope “You cannot be everything to everyone. If you decide to go north, you cannot go south at the same time” Jeroen De Flander Your project has schedule, everything can’t be done “You have to be fast on your feet and adaptive or else a strategy is useless” Charles de Gaulle Time is money, be fast or you will spend budget without results Michael Porter, strategy professor Jeroen De Flander, influential strategy thinker Charles de Gaulle, French army officer against Nazis
