Describe which characteristics of an algorithm described in the text (after Algorithm 1) the
following procedures have and which they lack.
a) proceduredouble(n: positive integer)
while n > 0
n := 2n
b) proceduredivide(n: positive integer)
while n >= 0
m := 1/n
n := n-1
c) proceduresum(n: positive integer)
sum := 0
while i < 10
sum := sum + i
d) procedurechoose(a, b: integers)
x := either a or b
Solution
a) Since n is a positive number, the while loop in this algorithm will run forever, therefore this
algorithm is not finite.
b) Since algorithm is not effective since the line “m := 1/n” cannot be executed when n=0,
which will eventually be the case. It can also be argued that this algorithm is not finite: if a line
in the algorithm cannot be completed, the algorithm as a whole cannot be completed. It can also
be argued that the algorithm lacks correctness since the “m := 1/n” line will also keep the
algorithm from arriving at a correct answer.
c) The value of j is never set in the algorithm, so the algorithm lacks definiteness. Without
knowing the initial value of j, the behavior of this algorithm is undetermined.
d) The only line in the algorithm is ambiguous, how does the algorithm decide which value (a or
b) to assign to x? Without knowing how this decision is made, the behavior of this algorithm is
undetermined; therefore, this algorithm lacks definiteness..

20 Rules of Change Management in Organizations by Catherine AdenleCatherine Adenle
20 Rules of Change Management in Organizations.
When implementing change, no two organizations are the same, nor is there a ’one-size-fits-all’ approach because each organisation is different in structure, size, vision, culture, business needs and most all, each change management is different. However, despite the range of approaches to change management, there are common guidelines for delivering a successful change. The content of this presentation is intended as a tool to facilitate best practice of change management, thereby guide the actions that will result to successful change.

Effective Change Management:
The Simple Truth
I
n a previous life I remember
walking into my new boss's
office for my induction talk
- it was my first day of my first
people management job and
I was full of excitement and
anticipation. Then he sat me
down and said: "Your job is
to get the unwilling to do the
impossible for the ungrateful."
I nearly turned around
and walked back out the
door! If we put our hands
on our hearts how many of
us would admit that change
management sometimes
feels like this? A recent
change management study
by Towers Watson surveyed
over 600 organisations that
have recently gone through
significant change and
unearthed the practices that
are at the heart of effective
change management. They are
simple truths and can make
the difference between success
and failure in many cases, but
evidence suggests that they
are often forgotten when in
the midst of a challenging
change project.
It is a fact that change is
a constant reality for any
organisation looking to
survive and thrive in these
turbulent and uncertain
times. When you boil it
up, change is about doing
things differently or doing
different things. Whether
you have to change, help
others change or define what
the change is, we all have a
vested interest in getting it
right. Our recently published
research shines a light on
what those organisations
that are effective at change
management have in common
when it comes to managing
change. So bearing this in
mind, the first issue to put to
bed is what do we mean here
when we say 'effective change
management'? In a nutshell,
if change programmes
achieve their stated goals on
time and within budget and
deliver sustainable benefit
then that would fit most
people's definition. We used
this definition to classify
organisations that are really
good at change management
and then looked at what they
did well in comparison with
their peers.
Significantly and perhaps
not surprisingly, we also
found that those businesses
that plan and execute change
well are also the ones that
are outperforming their
peers when it comes to
bottom line performance.
Companies highly effective
at both communication and
other change management
activities are 2.5 times as likely
to outperform their peers that
are not highly effective in
either area.
So considering the
prevalence of change -
and the effect of change
management on bottom-line
performance - there are plenty
of reasons to take a hard look
at how those organisations
are approaching change
management and to learn the
lessons.
From our research we
found that the following
are self-evidently true
Effective change management
is a little bit art and a little
bit science. The best change
practitioners balance rational,
data driven approaches with
a deep understanding of
emotional drivers. It's about
understanding the unique
needs of the business and its
people and then applying
insight and the right tools
to deliver the change. It is.

Determine arithmetic mean of the numbers f(x1), f(x2) for f(x) = x/2-6 ; x1 = -8, x2 = 10
Solution
We\'ll determine the arithmatic mean of the numbers f(x1) and f(x2):
A.M. = [f(x1) + f(x2)]/2
To compute the value of A.M., we\'ll have to compute the values of f(x1) and f(x2).
For this reason, we\'ll substitute x1 and x2 in the expression of f(x).
For x1 = -8, we\'ll get:
f(-8) = -8/2 - 6
f(-8) = -4 - 6
f(-8) = -10
For x2 = 10, we\'ll get:
f(10) = 10/2 - 6
f(10) = 5 - 6
f(10) = -1
Now, we\'l substitute f(x1) and f(x2) by the values of f(-8) and f(10) in the expression of A.M.
A.M. = [f(-8) + f(10)]/2
A.M. = (-10-1)/2
A.M. = -11/2.

Describe the advantages of using a balanced scorecard to measure and control organizational
performance. Suppose you created a balanced scorecard for Wal Mart. What specific customer
serive measures would you include?
Solution
Balanced scorecard (BSC) is strategic planning system. This system is used to align business
activities to the vision of the organization.
The advantages of using a balanced scorecard is to measure organizational performance is:
(1) BSC helps in guiding managers how to best utilize resources for the purpose of employee
training, self improvement of employees and enhancement of knowldge at the company level.
This also improves the scope of innovation and the ability to innovate.
(2) BSC helps the managers in guaging the effectiveness of the internal business process. If the
company\'s products and services are not meeting customer requirements, how can this be
achieved. This increases efficiency in the company.
(3) BSC helps the managers in assessing whether the customers are being satisfied or not. This
helps in increasing the satisfaction level.
(4) Financial metrics in BSC will help the managers better manage risks, analyse the cost benefit
perspective of a decision. All these will help in increasing financial efficiency.
For walmart, the customer service metric or measures will be:
(a) Wait time - This is the time that the customers have to spend at the billing counter.
(b) Customer retention - This metric sees whether there are repeat customers or not and what is
the proportion of repeat customers to total customers.
(c) quality - this metric will see the quality of product being sold by Walmart.

Designing patterns in java Advantages and disadvantagesSolution.pdfakukukkusarees
Designing a Flocculator: A water treatment plant is being designed to process 50,000 m3/d of
water. Jar testing and pilot-plant analysis indicate that an alum dosage of 40 mg/L with
flocculation at a Gt value of 4.0 x 104 produces optimal results at the expected water
temperatures of 15o C. Assume the average G value is 30 s-1.
Determine:
(1) The monthly alum requirement in kg/month
(2) The flocculation basin dimensions if three cross-flow horizontal paddles are to used. The
flocculator should be a maximum of 12 m wide and 5 m deep in order to connect appropriately
with the settling basin.
(3) The power requirement.
(4) The paddle configuration.
1. Monthly alum requirement:
40 mg/L x Q x time = _______________________ kg/month
2. Basin dimension:
(a) Calculate detention time
Then Gt = 4 x 104
t = 4 x 104 / G x (1 min/60 s) = __________________ min.
(b) Volume of tank is
V = Qt = 50,000 (m3/d) x t = _____________________ m3
(c) The tank will contain three cross-flow paddles so it length will be divided into three
compartments. For equal distribution of velocity gradients, the end area of each compartment
should be square, i.e., depth equals 1/3 length. Assuming maximum depth of 5 m, length is:
3 x d = _______________ m
Width is d x L x w = V
W = _________________ m
(d) Draw the configuration of the tanks with paddles:
3. Power requirements:
(a) Assume G value tapered as follows: (remember, the average of all three must be what you
assumed earlier)
First compartment, G = ________________ s-1
Second Compartment, G = ________________ s-1
Third compartment, G = ________________ s-1
(b) Power requirement for compartment 1, 2 and 3
P = G2 V m
Where Vcompartment = V/ 3 = _______________________ m3
At 15o C m = ___________________ Pa*s or N*s/m2
P1 = _____________ W = _______________ kW
P2 = _____________ W = _______________ kW
P3 = _____________ W = _______________ kW
4. Paddle configuration
(a) Assume each paddle has four boards 2.5 m long and w wide. There are three paddle wheels
per compartment.
(b) Calculate width of paddle (w) from power input and paddle velocity:
At 15o C, r = ___________________ kg/m3 (Table A-1)
assume paddle velocity in the middle of design range (above) = _______________ m/s
CD = __________________ (reference table above)
Ap = length of boards x (w) x number of boards
3 paddles at ________________ boards per paddle = ______________
boards
Ap = ____________ boards x 2.5 m (length) x (w)
P (in terms of (w)) = _________________________
Set equal to average power found above:
Solve for width of paddle:
w = ________________ m
Solution
1. Quantity of water to be processed for a month, Q= 50,000 m3/day x 30 days
= 1,500,000 m3
= 1,500 L
Monthly alum dosage required = 40 mg/L x 1500 L = 60,000 mg
= 60 kg
2. a) Gt = 4 x 104
G=30 s-1
Retention time required = Gt/G
= (4 x 104)/30
= 1333.33 seconds = 22.22 mints
b) Quantity of water to be processed, Q= 50,000 m3/day
= 34.72 m3/min
Volume of the tank should be, V = Q x retention time, t.

Describe in detail the advantages and disadvantages of renting versus owning a home. What is
the role of the title search in making a home purchase?
Solution
Renting versus owning a home.
There are a number of considerations you must make when making such decision. Renting
&buying both present a number of pros and cons & your own financial situation may be the
biggest factor of all.
Renting
Advantages.
1)no maintenance is required
If the garbage disposal breaks or you need a plumber ,getting maintenance is as easy as calling
the superintendent.
2)It is easier to move.
If you are not settled into your career or could have an opportunity to relocate in the near
future.It is much easier.
Disadvantages
1)your monthly payment can increase.
Rents have been rising in many cities.so,you may be facing an Increase in your monthly housing
payments as soon as your current lease ends
2)you don\'t build equity
When you rent your housing payment provides you with a place to live,but will not provide you
with an asset to sell when you are ready to move.
Buying Home.
Advantages
1)you can build equity
Historically house rise in value anywhere from 4% to 6% per year.Even if your house does not
increase in value.though you will be building equity as you pay down your mortgages as long as
your home maintain its value.
2)you can take advantage of tax breaks for home owners.
Home owners can deduct their mortgage interest payments and property taxes when they itemize
their federal income taxes .These deductions offset the cost of your housing
Disadvantages
1)you must pay property taxes
Property taxes can go up making your home less affordable
2)home could lose value.
As many people have learned the hard way ,there is no guarantee that your home will increase in
value over time..

Ratio 1.100 1.200 1.300 Part B Analyze Zach Industries’ financial condition as it is
related to (1) Liquidity: Zach Industries’ liquidity position has deteriorated from 2014 to
2015 and is inferior to the industry average. The firm may not be able to satisfy short-term
obligations as they come due. (2) Activity: Zach Industries’ ability to convert assets
into cash has deteriorated from 2014 to 2015. Examination into the cause of the 20.5-day
increase in the average collection period is warranted. Inventory turnover has also decreased for
the period under review and is fair compared to industry. The firm may be holding slightly
excessive inventory. (3) Debt: Zach Industries’ long-term debt position has improved since
2014 and is below average. Zach Industries’ ability to service interest payments has deteriorated
and is below industry. (4) Profitability: Although Zach Industries’ gross profit margin is
below its industry average, indicating high cost of goods sold, the firm has a superior net profit
margin in comparison to average. The firm has lower than average operating expenses. The
firm has a superior return on investment and return on equity in comparison to the industry and
shows an upward trend. (5) Market: Zach Industries’ increase in their market price
relative to their book value per share indicates that the firm’s performance has been interpreted
as more positive in 2006 than in 2005 and it is a little higher than the industry. Overall, the
firm maintains superior profitability at the risk of illiquidity. Investigation into the management
of accounts receivable and inventory is warranted..

Describe what you think is the greatest challenge for the health care manager when it comes to
managing productivity. What methods would you use to overcome resistance from coworkers?
Solution
The greatest challenge for the health care manager when it comes to managing productivity
are absenteeism, presenteeism and employee turnover or replacement costs.
Absenteeism is generally defined as the number of days missed from the workplace.Reasons for
absenteeism include workers\' compensation, short-term disability, long-term disability, sick
leave, family medical leave, personal time off, and unpaid leave.
Presenteeism is defined as time not on task, Quality of work, instances and magnitude of
mistakes, capacity for peak performance, injury rates, Quantity of work.work capacity or output,
factors such as personal , mental, social, physical, emotional, functional status etc.
Employee turnover and replacement costs include the decreased productivity output associated
with the cost of hiring and training new employees.
Methods To use to overcome resistance
Moreover
Supervisors who directly manage employees are prime change agents. They must be won over,
trained to manage the change, with their feedback evaluated as change moves forward. Such
communication is important for employees as well, since full disclosure breeds security, a
remedy for resistance. Leaders should address individual concerns employees might have about
job security, wages and loss of control. Eroding resistance means giving employees reasons to
lower defenses..

Describe what is meant by the term \"goodwill.\"
Solution
Definition
That part of business value over and above the value of identifiable business assets.
Meaning
Business goodwill is a key intangible asset that represents the portion of the business value that
cannot be attributed to other business assets.
Put differently, business goodwill reflects the synergy among the various assets used by the
business to produce income: in a well-run business the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
Here are the key factors that contribute to the creation of business goodwill:
How to value business goodwill
Going concern value indicates the existence of business assets ready for use in producing
business income. The value is created because a business can effectively apply its capital
(financial resources and equipment), labor (employees), and coordination (management) to
produce economic benefits for its owners.
Excess business income implies the existence of earnings above a fair return on all the other
business assets. The idea is that this excess income is due to business goodwill.
Owners may believe that the business has additional value because they see it as being able to
create new products and services, attract new customers, and acquire or merge with other
businesses.
Types of business goodwill
For the purposes of small business valuation, you may be interested in these types of business
goodwill:
Institutional goodwill is associated with the business, its position in the marketplace and its
ability to effectively serve its customers.
Professional practice goodwill, as the name implies, is associated with professional practices
such as doctors, lawyers, CPAs, architects, engineers and other professional services. Unlike
business goodwill, the professional practice goodwill has two components:
Practitioner goodwill relates to the skill and reputation of the individual professional practitioner.
Practice goodwill, much like the business goodwill, arises from the professional practice itself,
its institutional reputation, location, track record and operating procedures that make it an
effective service provider that can produce superior income.
Accounting view of business goodwill
From the accounting perspective, business goodwill is generally recorded only if it is acquired as
part of a business or professional practice purchase. The typical way the accountants handle
business goodwill then is by subtracting the fair market value of the business tangible assets
from the total business value. Note that this definition of business goodwill captures all
intangible business assets, not just the goodwill.
Economic view of business goodwill
A quantitative view of business goodwill adopted by the economist is that it equals the
capitalized value of the business earnings in excess of the fair return on all the other business
assets, both tangible and intangible. This view seeks to establish the value of all identified
business assets by allocatin.

Describe two sales roles: the new business seller and the consultative seller. (< ~100 words)
Solution
Answer:
It\'s a rare buyer who won\'t want you to show him or her the ropes by remaining involved with
the business for a while after the sale. Often the deal won\'t fly unless you agree to this. At a
minimum, the buyer wants to be sure that the business is indeed a going concern. In addition,
buyers realize that much of the real business knowledge has never been written down, and when
you leave, it will go with you unless the new owner takes steps to learn it from you. Often a
significant part of the total cash you receive will be tied to your future involvement in the
business.
After-sale involvement can take a number of different forms. The most common are the
following:
Today Consultative Selling is almost a household word. It is an approach to selling in which
customer needs are used as the basis for the sales dialogue. When the word Consultative was
applied to sales in the 1970’s, it was revolutionary. It marked a major transition from the
salesperson as the purveyor of information and the customer as the recipient to a much more
collaborative interaction — one in which the customer’s needs, not the product — was the focal
point of the sale..

GDP is purely an economic indicator. It ignores the environmental and social impacts of
development.
The two alternatives that can address these concerns are described as follows:
1. Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare (ISEW) and Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) :
This is a modification to GDP. Unit is in currency i.e $. it has 26 indicators in 4 domains to
asses. In this index, consumption expenditures are weighted by income distribution, with
volunteer and household work added to it and environmental and social costs subtracted from it.
Advantages: it takes care of income inequality, hidden contributors like household work and
environmental damage costs are included.
Disadvantages: It shows reduced developments than what actual GDP shows. So, actual
development in monetary terms might be more than what this index propose.
2. Genuine Savings :
This is an income accounts modification. Unit is in currency i.e $. it has 5 indicators in 3
domains to asses. In this index, level of saving are calculated after depreciation of produced
capital. It includes investments in human capital. The depletion of minerals, energy, and forests
and damages from local and global air pollutants are accounted for in this index.
Advantages: It modifies the savings to make it more real, and social and environmental costs are
included in this index.
Disadvantages: same disadvantage of making the development of a country look more less than
what GDP proposes..

Describe three types of perceptual errors and provide an example of each.
Solution
hi,
please find the correct answer as follows;
The three types of perceptual errors are:
1) Halo effect: which is when our general impression of a person is based on like one prominent
characteristic, which dominates our perception of other characteristics of that person
Example: a person is sometimes late so the manager forms a negative impression of the person
and from then on sees everything the employee does negatively.
2) Primacy effect: our opinion of people is based on the first information we form about them
Example: we evaluate the person based on our first impression of them, so if we had a good first
impression you wuold view that person in a favourable light
3) Recency effect: when the most recent information dominates our perception of others
Example: when a manager evaluates an employee\'s performance, the most recent performance
dominates so if the last thing the employee did was sign a big contract with a supplier than the
manger will have a very positive impression of the employee.

We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Describe why change can be so difficult for organizations. Elaborate.pdf
1. Describe why change can be so difficult for organizations. Elaborate on the concept of Change
Management Competencies for HR professionals.
Solution
Change management competency is the presence of a business culture that expects change and
reacts with the understanding, perspectives, tools and techniques to make change seamless and
effortless. It is making change a part of “business as usual.”
Building change management competency in an organization is not like installing a new
computer system or implementing a new policy. Change management competency requires a
new attitude and approach. Individuals in a change-competent organization define their job in
relation to change. They value the ability to change as one of their primary responsibilities. They
understand that change will occur, expect it and effortlessly perform during and after the change.
Change Management is a tough task for HR professionals since it is very difficult to change the
minds of people. When people get used to a procedure or a process, it is difficult to change their
mind. Change management ususally is accompanied with Resistance to change. People exhibit
resistance to change when they are not adaptable. In these situations employees are given
orientation about the benefits and outcomes of the proposed change.
Change Management is either about bringing about corrections in the existing procedures or
completely changing the current process. HR will first have to analyse the mind set of the people
and then they will have to understand the reason behind the resistance of the employees.
Change Management Competencies for HR Professionals are as follows:
1. Critical Thinking
2. Problem Solving
3. Strategic Thinking
4. Decision making Skills
5. Stress Management
6. Language and Communication Skills
7. Divergent Skills
8. Technological Skills
9. Interpersonal Skills
10. Compassion, Integrity and mobilizing people
