Explain FIVE main disadvantages of outsourcing for an organisation. Solution There are several disadvantages of outsourcing including the following: Surrender of core competence The services may represent (or contribute to) a core competence for the organisation. If this is the case, outsourcing would be inadvisable as the basis of the organisation\'s competitive advantage could be threatened unnecessarily. Lack of understanding There may be a potential lack of understanding of the ethos of the business by the contractors of the outsourced service. There may be resistance from staff groups and unions representing in- house workers whose jobs may be threatened. This may harm industrial relations and possibly lead to disruption in performance. Under these conditions the initiative may be counter- productive. Outsourcing and a threat of job losses could undermine the psychological contract and lead to a lack of motivation within the workforce. Damage to culture The move to outsourcing may detract from a positive organisational culture by eroding shared values and good will. Transaction costs Additional costs will be incurred associated with determining service specifications and ultimately monitoring performance (so-called transaction costs). Finality of decision Once a service has been contracted out it may be very difficult to take back in-house at a later date if things do not work out..

Why So Many Tech Companies Are Laying Off Employees in 2023.pdf
The global pandemic of 2020 has caused significant disruption to businesses and economies around the
world. As companies struggle to navigate through the crisis, many have been forced to make difficult
decisions in order to survive. One of the most common actions of tech companies is laying off
employees. In this article, we will examine the reasons why tech companies are laying off employees
and the implications of this trend.
Layoffs, also known as redundancies, refer to the practice of an employer terminating the employment
of one or more employees due to a variety of reasons, such as financial difficulties, restructuring,
downsizing, or changes in business needs. Layoffs are often seen as a last resort for companies, as they
can significantly impact the employees who are let go and the organization’s overall health. When a
company lays off employees, it may offer them severance pay or other benefits as a form of
compensation.
Layoffs became popular when Elon Musk Acquired Twitter for $44 billion and laid off half of the
workforce to become a lean and efficient company. Layoffs can occur in any industry but are particularly
common in sectors that are vulnerable to economic fluctuations, such as manufacturing, retail, and
technology—why do you think layoffs occur?

Downsizing
Downsizing refers to permanently reducing a company's workforce through layoffs and restructuring. There are several reasons for downsizing, primarily to increase efficiency and profits by cutting costs. Common methods include replacing human workers with machines, outsourcing jobs, or shutting down entire divisions. While downsizing aims to make companies "leaner and meaner", it also has disadvantages like losing skilled workers and hurting employee morale. Managing layoffs well through support services can help minimize the negative impact.

International Supply Chain Management - Outsourcing for a competitive advantage
International Supply Chain Management - Outsourcing for a competitive advantageMustafa Mert Dikmen, MSc
This document discusses the strategic implications of outsourcing logistics. It begins by explaining how outsourcing has become a key business strategy to focus on core competencies. The advantages of outsourcing include cost savings, flexibility, quality improvements and competitive advantages. However, risks include loss of control and higher costs. Specifically regarding logistics outsourcing, benefits are improved customer service and focus on strategic planning, while risks involve loss of control. Overall, outsourcing logistics can provide strategic value if risks are properly managed and it aligns with business objectives.Retrenchment Strategies
Retrenchment strategies are used by corporations to reduce costs and become more financially stable. They involve withdrawing from certain markets, discontinuing some products or services, and reducing the overall size and diversity of business operations. There are three main types of retrenchment strategies: turnaround strategies, divestment strategies, and liquidation strategies. Turnaround strategies reverse declines, while divestment strategies involve selling off parts of the business. Liquidation is the most extreme option and involves closing down the entire firm. Reasons for retrenchment include persistent losses, declining market share, and failure of strategy.

Outsourcing,saleem(raj)
Outsourcing is contracting a business process to an independent organization that provides it as a service. The main reasons for outsourcing are to reduce costs by accessing a provider's lower cost structure from economies of scale or specialization. There are two main methods of outsourcing - outsourcing projects to companies or hiring manpower from companies to execute projects. While outsourcing can maximize profits, disadvantages include losing the chance to develop in-house talent and losing managerial control over an outsourced process since the service provider is separately managed.

SUCCESS & FAILURE OF ORGANIZATION DESIGN
The document discusses success and failure of organizational design. For success, it identifies clear performance focus, a winning strategy, compelling need for change, specific change criteria, distinguishing decision-driven from behavior changes, structure/system requirements, mobilized groups, and tight integration of initiatives. Failure can result from unclear objectives, structuring for personnel, excessive disruption, side agreements outside the process, skipping assessments, breaking confidentiality, and bypassing change management plans. Overall, the key is having a well-defined process to achieve strategic goals through organizational changes.
Advantages And Disadvantages Of Outsourcing
Outsourcing is very popular among young generation. But it has it's own Advantages and Disadvantages. In this slide I have sheared 5 key points from my freelancing experience.
OUT SOURCING PROJECT
This document discusses business process outsourcing to India. It provides a brief history of outsourcing to India, mentioning early adopters like American Express and General Electric in the 1980s and 1990s. It also discusses the growth of third party BPO providers in India. The size and future growth of the Indian outsourcing industry is discussed, estimating it to be a $11 billion industry employing around 2.8 million people. Potential impacts of outsourcing on Indian society are also summarized such as job creation but also influence of foreign cultural values.
SUCCESS & FAILURE OF OD
Organizational design is a methodology to identify and address dysfunctional aspects of an organization's structure, workflows, and systems. When done effectively, it leads to improved results through a more aligned and efficient organization. However, redesign efforts often fail due to common mistakes such as lacking clear goals, structuring around individuals rather than strategy, and causing unnecessary disruption. Other failures include bypassing assessment of the current state, breaking confidentiality, and not establishing formal change management. To succeed, organizational redesign must be driven by strategy, minimize disruption, and implement clear communications.
Lecture Slides 12 01 08
This document discusses change management and outsourcing. It explains that change management is the process of building an organization's capacity and willingness to transition from its current state to a new future state. Effective change management involves instituting policies, anticipating change, and seeking employee involvement. Outsourcing provides benefits like reduced costs, access to expertise, and flexibility, but also challenges in contract management and protecting confidentiality. The document outlines reasons for outsourcing and trends like viewing it less as a cost-saving strategy and more as a broader business context.
Service Operations management _Lecture 7.pptx
The lecture discussed offshore outsourcing and offshoring of business services. It defined outsourcing as assigning peripheral business activities to external vendors, while offshoring refers to relocating entire business processes to another country. Offshoring provides benefits like lower labor costs, access to skilled talent, and ability to enter new markets. However, expected cost savings are often lower than anticipated due to hidden costs. Risks of offshoring include data security, loss of business knowledge, and vendor failure to deliver. Process maturity and contingency planning are important factors for successful offshoring. Outsourcing core competencies can allow companies to focus on innovation, but there is also risk of capabilities becoming non-core. Productivity measurement

Top 10 reason companies outsource
The document summarizes surveys from the Outsourcing Institute on the top reasons for outsourcing, factors in vendor selection, and factors for successful outsourcing. The top three reasons for outsourcing were to reduce costs, improve focus on core business, and gain access to world-class capabilities. The top three vendor selection factors were commitment to quality, price, and references/reputation. The top three factors for successful outsourcing were understanding goals and objectives, having a strategic vision and plan, and selecting the right vendor.
Top10 reasons why_outsourcing_fails
The document outlines the top 10 reasons why outsourcing fails. Most importantly, it states that having cost savings as the primary goal is a sure recipe for failure, as cost savings should be an outcome, not the key reason for outsourcing. Other key reasons for failure include a lack of clear objectives and expectations, inadequate communication between partners, poor transition processes, insufficient risk analysis of potential providers, unforeseen increases in costs, over-management of providers, an inability of providers to adapt to changing buyer needs, and unstructured behavior by buyers towards providers. The document emphasizes that outsourcing succeeds best when it is driven by strategic reasons, when expectations are set correctly, when regular communication is maintained, and when providers are
Designing adaptive organization
The document discusses different approaches to organizational structure, including functional, product, customer, geographic, and matrix departmentalization. It also covers organizational authority and delegation, as well as methods for designing intra-organizational processes like reengineering, empowerment, and behavioral informality. Finally, it examines inter-organizational structures such as modular and virtual organizations.
The financial metrics and their influence on behaviours
Performance measures have been known to affect behaviour. If employees know that they are being judged according to how their performance meets certain standards, they will strive to uphold those
standards in order to be rewarded. Ideally, performance measures should be designed to reward positive behaviour that maximises the corporate goal. However, in the modern business climate, shareholder value maximisation has become a central tenet of the way that most companies are run, usually at the expense of other important criteria. This paper will aim to explore the negative side-effects of an over-fixation with modern performance metrics on employee behaviour.
CAE as CEO
1) The CAE must run internal audit like a business in order to ensure it adds value and remains responsive to executive management and the audit committee.
2) To add value beyond assurance, the CAE should be able to answer five key questions about internal audit: what is its mission, who are its customers, what do customers value, what results are wanted, and what is the plan.
3) It is the CAE's role to understand and manage the unique expectations of internal audit's three key constituents - the audit committee, executive management, and line management.

Success and failure in organization design
The document discusses common mistakes made when reorganizing a company's structure. It identifies seven key mistakes: 1) not defining what the reorganization aims to achieve, 2) structuring around specific personnel rather than business needs, 3) revealing redesign details prematurely, compromising engagement, 4) failing to establish a formal change management and communications plan, 5) rushing implementation without proper planning, 6) not addressing cultural impacts, and 7) lacking post-implementation evaluation. The document stresses the importance of clear goals, separating structure from personnel, confidentiality, communication, thorough planning, culture, and evaluation.
Downsizing cost Nilesh Dayalapwar SIIB,PUNE
(1) Downsizing at British Telecom involved significant workforce reductions from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s as BT restructured and reduced costs in response to industry changes. (2) BT implemented both voluntary and involuntary redundancy programs, with the largest in 1992 accepting over 30,000 applicants which was far more than anticipated. (3) Survivors experienced increased workloads, uncertainty, and stress as well as feelings of anger, guilt, and loss over departed colleagues which negatively impacted morale and commitment if not properly managed.
The Golden Triangle of Value Creation - Paul Lim
iForce Consulting developed a framework called the "Golden Triangle of Value Generation" which identifies three universal areas of corporate value generation: 1) Customer Management, 2) Cost Management, and 3) Cashflow Management. The paper argues that successful companies must link their market strategies to their cost base and cashflow in order to ensure long-term growth and competitive advantage. It provides examples of how different companies can manage strategies related to customers, costs, and cashflow depending on whether their business involves products or services and whether cashflow is stable or unstable. The framework is intended to help companies identify key performance indicators and initiatives to focus on the primary drivers of value.
The ten commandments for outsourcing
The document provides 10 commandments for successful outsourcing. The commandments include getting your own business processes in order before outsourcing; determining which processes to outsource based on efficiency gains; choosing vendors carefully based on expertise; considering total costs; demanding performance metrics and visibility; understanding cultural differences; and adopting a systematic approach. Following these 10 commandments can help improve chances of outsourcing success.
Explain briefly the system of system of the Balance of Payments Acco.pdf
Explain briefly the system of system of the Balance of Payments Accounting for a country,
including an explanation of the current account, the capital account, and the financial account.
Solution
BOP is an official record that tracks all the transactions of financial nature, between a country
(and its residents) with other countries.
BOP is a flow concept since it measures the transactions during a specific period of time (1 year,
1 quarter etc).
BOP is always prepared in a single currency (the domestic currency).
BOP has 3 types of accounts, based on nature of transaction. These component accounts are:
Current Account, Capital Account, Financial Account. Theoritically, sum of balances in all these
accounts will be zero. But in reality there may be some positive and negative balance which is
then classified under \"Balance Account\".
Current Account records the exports, imports (defining Trade Balance as Exports less Imports),
Services, Net Factor Income from Abroad and fund (Cash) transfers.
Capital Account records all transactions and transfers pertaining to Investment purposes (and not
for consumption purposes). For example, an official exemption on debt (\"Debt Forgiveness\")
falls under Capital Account.
Financial Account records transactions relating to asset/investment borrowing, selling in other
countries. This includes DFI (Direct Foreign Investment, a longer term capital flow), DPI (Direct
Portfolio Investment which is shorter term capital flow) and Official Reserves (which is assets
transacted by Central Bank, for example, foreign exchange).
Together, these 3 components theoritically balance up, implying shortfall in one or more
component account is compensated by surplus in other component account(s). If there is any
negative/positive balance arising out of BPO accounting, that goes into Balance Account..
Explain how convection and radiation terms are included in the funda.pdf
Explain how convection and radiation terms are included in the fundamental equation.
Solution
CONVECTION: Flow of heat through currents within a fluid (liquid or gas). Convection is the
displacement of volumes of a substance in a liquid or gaseous phase. When a mass of a fluid is
heated up, for example when it is in contact with a warmer surface, its molecules are carried
away and scattered causing that the mass of that fluid becomes less dense. For this reason, the
warmed mass will be displaced vertically and/or horizontally, while the colder and denser mass
of fluid goes down (the low-kinetic-energy molecules displace the molecules in high-kinetic-
energy states). Through this process, the molecules of the hot fluid transfer heat continuously
toward the volumes of the colder fluid.
For example, when heating up water on a stove, the volume of water at the bottom of the pot will
be warmed up by conduction from the metallic bottom of the pot and its density decreases. Given
that it gets lesser dense, it shifts upwards up to the surface of the volume of water and displaces
the upper -colder and denser- mass of water downwards, to the bottom of the pot.
Formula of Convection:
q = hA (Ts - T ?)
Where h is for convective heat transfer coefficient, A is the area implied in the heat transfer
process, Ts is for the temperature of the system and T ? is a reference temperature.
RADIATION:
It is heat transfer by electromagnetic waves or photons. It does not need a propagating medium.
The energy transferred by radiation moves at the speed of light. The heat radiated by the Sun can
be exchanged between the solar surface and the Earth\'s surface without heating the transitional
space.
For example, if I place an object (such as a coin, a car, or myself) under the direct sunbeams, I
will note in a little while that the object will be heated. The exchange of heat between the Sun
and the object occurs by radiation.
The formula to know the amount of heat transferred by radiation is:
q = e ? A [(?T)^4]
Where q is the heat transferred by radiation, E is the emissivity of the system, ? is the constant of
Stephan-Boltzmann (5.6697 x 10^-8 W/m^2.K^4), A is the area involved in the heat transfer by
radiation, and (?T)^4 is the difference of temperature between two systems to the fourth or
higher power.
Water absorbs the incoming solar Infrared Radiation because the frequency of the internal
vibration of the water molecules is the same frequency of the waves of the solar Infrared
Radiation. This form of Radiative Heat transfer is known as Resonance Absorption.
We humans feel the heat radiated by the Sun and other systems with a higher temperature
because our bodies contain 55-75% of water. The radiative energy inciding on our skin is
absorbed by the molecules of water in our bodies by Resonance Absorption. Just then, the
Infrared Radiation absorbed by our bodies leads to a more intense internal vibration of the water
molecules in our bodies and our bodies get warmer. .

Services, Net Factor Income from Abroad and fund (Cash) transfers.
Capital Account records all transactions and transfers pertaining to Investment purposes (and not
for consumption purposes). For example, an official exemption on debt (\"Debt Forgiveness\")
falls under Capital Account.
Financial Account records transactions relating to asset/investment borrowing, selling in other
countries. This includes DFI (Direct Foreign Investment, a longer term capital flow), DPI (Direct
Portfolio Investment which is shorter term capital flow) and Official Reserves (which is assets
transacted by Central Bank, for example, foreign exchange).
Together, these 3 components theoritically balance up, implying shortfall in one or more
component account is compensated by surplus in other component account(s). If there is any
negative/positive balance arising out of BPO accounting, that goes into Balance Account..
Explain how convection and radiation terms are included in the funda.pdf
Explain how convection and radiation terms are included in the fundamental equation.
Solution
CONVECTION: Flow of heat through currents within a fluid (liquid or gas). Convection is the
displacement of volumes of a substance in a liquid or gaseous phase. When a mass of a fluid is
heated up, for example when it is in contact with a warmer surface, its molecules are carried
away and scattered causing that the mass of that fluid becomes less dense. For this reason, the
warmed mass will be displaced vertically and/or horizontally, while the colder and denser mass
of fluid goes down (the low-kinetic-energy molecules displace the molecules in high-kinetic-
energy states). Through this process, the molecules of the hot fluid transfer heat continuously
toward the volumes of the colder fluid.
For example, when heating up water on a stove, the volume of water at the bottom of the pot will
be warmed up by conduction from the metallic bottom of the pot and its density decreases. Given
that it gets lesser dense, it shifts upwards up to the surface of the volume of water and displaces
the upper -colder and denser- mass of water downwards, to the bottom of the pot.
Formula of Convection:
q = hA (Ts - T ?)
Where h is for convective heat transfer coefficient, A is the area implied in the heat transfer
process, Ts is for the temperature of the system and T ? is a reference temperature.
RADIATION:
It is heat transfer by electromagnetic waves or photons. It does not need a propagating medium.
The energy transferred by radiation moves at the speed of light. The heat radiated by the Sun can
be exchanged between the solar surface and the Earth\'s surface without heating the transitional
space.
For example, if I place an object (such as a coin, a car, or myself) under the direct sunbeams, I
will note in a little while that the object will be heated. The exchange of heat between the Sun
and the object occurs by radiation.
The formula to know the amount of heat transferred by radiation is:
q = e ? A [(?T)^4]
Where q is the heat transferred by radiation, E is the emissivity of the system, ? is the constant of
Stephan-Boltzmann (5.6697 x 10^-8 W/m^2.K^4), A is the area involved in the heat transfer by
radiation, and (?T)^4 is the difference of temperature between two systems to the fourth or
higher power.
Water absorbs the incoming solar Infrared Radiation because the frequency of the internal
vibration of the water molecules is the same frequency of the waves of the solar Infrared
Radiation. This form of Radiative Heat transfer is known as Resonance Absorption.
We humans feel the heat radiated by the Sun and other systems with a higher temperature
because our bodies contain 55-75% of water. The radiative energy inciding on our skin is
absorbed by the molecules of water in our bodies by Resonance Absorption. Just then, the
Infrared Radiation absorbed by our bodies leads to a more intense internal vibration of the water
molecules in our bodies and our bodies get warmer. .
Explain how academic knowledge impacts the social elements and insti.pdf
Explain how academic knowledge impacts the social elements and institutions of both local and
global communities.
Solution
Academic Knowledge impacts Global communities because it brings them information that most
of the time communties dont have or dont have access due to the fact they have to pay for it o
they dont know where to find it.
This knowledge has a possive effect because it provides the tools for communitites to develop
further and faster using methods aquired through a superior institution like a college or
university.
The influence allows communitites to grow and narrows the path to follow in order to math the
requirements on the globalization..

Explain the relevance of a rate reconciliation in a tax provision. Why is it so important and what
information does it provide to a reader of financial statements?
Solution
Users of financial statements continue to emphasize the importance of informative, decision-
useful disclosures. This focus often extends to the reporting of income taxes, a material
component of most financial statements. Tax laws can be difficult to understand due to their
complexity, compounded by the multitude of taxing jurisdictions throughout the world.
Connecting the effects of those laws with financial accounting principles adds to the challenge.
Numerous income tax accounting matters require the use of estimates, judgments, and other
subjective information that can obscure the presentation in the financial statement accounts.
Clarifying disclosures can enable users to gain a better understanding of the reporting entity’s
income tax environment. Today’s financial reporting users represent a spectrum of stakeholders
including investors, lenders, regulators, accounting standard setters, analysts, researchers, and
legislative or public policy-making bodies around the world. The business environment and user
expectations have evolved such that companies are encouraged to communicate more effectively
about their income tax profile. FASB’s focus on disclosure The Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) has a large-scale disclosure framework project in progress. A discussion paper
was issued on July 12, 2012 followed by a comment period. The FASB is currently reviewing
the feedback, while developing a decision process for establishing disclosure requirements. With
the framework project, the FASB hopes to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes
to financial statements by clearly communicating the information that is most important to users.
The FASB intends the framework to promote more consistent decisions around disclosure
requirements. Earlier this month, the FASB announced that it will seek further input on certain
income tax areas noted in a recently completed Financial Accounting Foundation report as
presenting difficulties for users. Specifically, information enabling users to analyze income tax
cash flows and the effects of indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings. IASB’s focus on disclosure
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) held a discussion forum in London earlier
this year and released a paper in May 2013, Discussion Forum – Financial Reporting Disclosure
Feedback Statement, outlining the initiatives they expect to undertake. The actions include steps
to address materiality considerations and the challenges associated with providing effective
disclosure. SEC’s focus on disclosure The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently
announced its plan to hold roundtable discussions with its varying constituents on the subject of
disclosure. In October 2013, Mary Jo White, Chair of the SEC, gave a speech to the National
Associa.

Explain the relationship between training and organizational development. How might each
contribute to strategic HR management?
Solution
Training plays a vital role in every Organization whether it is Private Limited firm or Public
Limited firm. In order to achieve desired targets of an Organization and also to make their
Employees to give better Productivity in Performance it is Imperative for an Organization to give
Training to their Employees whether it is Top Level of Management Employees or Bottom Level
of Management Employees. ( CEO\'s, Managers or Executives).
Giving Training to their own Employees and Performing good in their Desired Tasks gives Win-
Win Situation to particular Organization to function good in the Market against their
Competitors. Training their Employees for specific time duration For eg- 3 months can enable
Employees to perform for atleast 2-3 Years i.e. Short term Training with Long Term
Performance.
Training and Organization Management is very well connected with Strategic HR Management-
HR Recruits Employees and Training is also conducted from HR\'s only. If an Employees fails to
perform as per the targets decided from the Managers then Trainers communicates with HR
andaccordingly take actions to terminate Employees.
For Eg of my Own Firm where i work presently- Managers, training initiatives are focused on
providing them with the tools to balance the effective management of their employee resources
with the strategies and goals of the organization. Managers learn to develop their employees
effectively by helping employees learn and change, as well as by identifying and preparing them
for future responsibilities. Management development may also include programs for developing
decision making skills, creating and managing successful work teams, allocating resources
effectively, budgeting, business planning, and goal setting.
Conclusion-Training and development describes the formal, ongoing efforts of organizations to
improve the performance and self-fulfillment of their employees through a variety of methods
and programs. In the modern workplace, these efforts have taken on a broad range of
applications.

Explain the relationship between supply and demand.
Solution
The law of demand states that as the price of the product increases/decreases the demand of the
product falls/rises respectively.
Also, the lasw of supply states that as the price increases the supply of the product increases
since sellers are more willing to sell their products at higher prices.
Now , the realtionship between supply and demand can be studied by looking at the price
movement. As the price goes up, the suppy goes up and the demand falls. So, as supply rises
more than the required amount of goods, the demand falls and as the supply falls, the demand of
the good increase as the price also falls along with the fall un supply..
Explain how a manufacturerSolutionDistribution involves gettin.pdf
A manufacturer can distribute products through direct sales to customers or by using intermediaries like retailers or wholesalers. Distribution channels can involve zero levels with direct sales, one level by selling to retailers who then sell to customers, or two levels by selling to wholesalers who sell to retailers who then sell to customers, extending the supply chain. The level of distribution depends on the product and getting it to reach the intended customers.
Explain how confusing the two (population and a sample) can lead to .pdf
Explain how confusing the two (population and a sample) can lead to incorrect statistical
inferences.
Solution
In statistics, statistical inference is the process of drawing conclusions from data
that is subject to random variation, for example, observational errors or sampling variation.[1]
More substantially, the terms statistical inference, statistical induction and inferential statistics
are used to describe systems of procedures that can be used to draw conclusions from datasets
arising from systems affected by random variation,[2] such as observational errors, random
sampling, or random experimentation.[1] Initial requirements of such a system of procedures for
inference and induction are that the system should produce reasonable answers when applied to
well-defined situations and that it should be general enough to be applied across a range of
situations. The outcome of statistical inference may be an answer to the question \"what should
be done next?\", where this might be a decision about making further experiments or surveys, or
about drawing a conclusion before implementing some organizational or governmental policy.
Contents [show] [edit]Introduction [edit]Scope For the most part, statistical inference makes
propositions about populations, using data drawn from the population of interest via some form
of random sampling. More generally, data about a random process is obtained from its observed
behavior during a finite period of time. Given a parameter or hypothesis about which one wishes
to make inference, statistical inference most often uses: a statistical model of the random process
that is supposed to generate the data, which is known when randomization has been used, and a
particular realization of the random process; i.e., a set of data. The conclusion of a statistical
inference is a statistical proposition.[citation needed] Some common forms of statistical
proposition are: an estimate; i.e., a particular value that best approximates some parameter of
interest, a confidence interval (or set estimate); i.e., an interval constructed using a dataset drawn
from a population so that, under repeated sampling of such datasets, such intervals would contain
the true parameter value with the probability at the stated confidence level, a credible interval;
i.e., a set of values containing, for example, 95% of posterior belief, rejection of a hypothesis[3]
clustering or classification of data points into groups [edit]Comparison to descriptive statistics
Statistical inference is generally distinguished from descriptive statistics. In simple terms,
descriptive statistics can be thought of as being just a straightforward presentation of facts, in
which modeling decisions made by a data analyst have had minimal influence.
[edit]Models/Assumptions Main articles: Statistical model and Statistical assumptions Any
statistical inference requires some assumptions. A statistical model is a set of assumptions
concerning the generation of the observ.

Explain the organizational archetypes as described by Mintzberg and discuss how organizational
structure influences innovation.
Summarize Mintzberg\'s work with archetypes.
What key features and implications are involved in each archetype?
Why do we need a template for explaining the structure of an organization?
Mintzberg claimed we have too many managers and too few leaders. Do you agree or disagree
with this and why?
Solution
Mintzberg\'s Organizational Types:
The Entrepreneurial Organization: This type of organization has a simple, flat structure. It
consists of one large unit with one or a few top managers. The organization is relatively
unstructured and informal compared with other types of organization, and the lack of
standardized systems allows the organization to be flexible.
A young company that\'s tightly controlled by the owner is the most common example of this
type of organization. However, a particularly strong leader may be able to sustain an
entrepreneurial organization as it grows, and when large companies face hostile conditions, they
can revert to this structure to keep strict control from the top
The Machine Organization (Bureaucracy) : The machine organization is defined by its
standardization. Work is very formalized, there are many routines and procedures, decision-
making is centralized, and tasks are grouped by functional departments. Jobs will be clearly
defined; there will be a formal planning process with budgets and audits; and procedures will
regularly be analyzed for efficiency.
The machine organization has a tight vertical structure. Functional lines go all the way to the top,
allowing top managers to maintain centralized control. These organizations can be very efficient,
and they rely heavily on economies of scale for their success. However, the formalization leads
to specialization and, pretty soon, functional units can have conflicting goals that can be
inconsistent with overall corporate objectives.
The Professional Organization : According to Mintzberg, the professional organization is also
very bureaucratic. The key difference between these and machine organizations is that
professional organizations rely on highly trained professionals who demand control of their own
work. So, while there\'s a high degree of specialization, decision making is decentralized. This
structure is typical when the organization contains a large number of knowledge workers, and
it\'s why it\'s common in places like schools and universities, and in accounting and law firms.
The Divisional (Diversified) Organization : If an organization has many different product lines
and business units, you\'ll typically see a divisional structure in place. A central headquarters
supports a number of autonomous divisions that make their own decisions, and have their own
unique structures. You\'ll often find this type of structure in large and mature organizations that
have a variety of brands, produce a wide range of products, or operate in d.
Explain the organizational archetypes as described by Mintzberg and .pdf
Mintzberg identified five organizational archetypes - entrepreneurial, machine bureaucracy, professional bureaucracy, divisionalized, and adhocracy. Each has distinct structural features and implications. The entrepreneurial organization has a simple, flat structure controlled by few managers, allowing flexibility. The machine bureaucracy has standardized work and centralized decision-making for efficiency. The professional bureaucracy decentralizes decision-making to trained professionals. The divisionalized structure supports autonomous divisions for diversified products/markets. The adhocracy structure is innovative and non-bureaucratic to adapt to new industries. Organizational structures influence innovation and a template is needed to explain them.
Explain the Mutiplier Effect. Try to explain it in some detail so th.pdf
Explain the method which can be used to determine the disjunction normal form of the Boolean
function represented by the following table:
x y z f
0 0 0 0
0 0 1 0
0 1 0 1
0 1 1 0
1 0 0 0
1 0 1 0
1 1 0 1
1 1 1 0
Solution
To form a DNF representation of the function, we\'ll include a term for each row of the truth
table in which the value of the function is true(1). For each of these terms, include all variables
that are parameters to the function. If a variable is given a value of false(0) in the truth table row,
negate it in the term; otherwise, leave it non-negated. In this way a DNF expression is generated
directly from the truth table.
F(x, y, z) = x\'yz\' + xy\'z\' + xy\'z
The disjunctive normal form should have three minterms corresponding to thethree triples for
which F takes the value 1. Consider one of these: F(0, 1, 0) = 1.In order to have a product of
literals that will equal 1, we need to multiply literalsthat have a value of 1. At the triple (0, 1, 0)
the literals we need are x, y, and z,since x = y = z = 1 when x = 0, y = 1, and z = 0. The
corresponding minterm,xyz, will then have value 1 at (0, 1, 0) and 0 at every other triple in B3.
The othertwo minterms come from considering F(1, 0, 0) = 1 and F(1, 0, 1) = 1. The sum ofthese
three minterms will have value 1 at each of (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), (1, 0, 1) and 0 atall other triples in
B3..

Explain the main porpose of conducting a time study?
Solution
Time study is a direct observation of a task and a continous one at that. This observation is done
using a time keeping device.
The main purpose is to record the time taken to complete a task or a job.
When this is done the time standard for a job can be set and planning of work can be done
accordingly. Time studies can also be used for setting goals, data analysis and reporting..
Explain the mechanisms of internal loading of phosphorus in lakes.pdf
Explain the meaning of the following dimensionless numbers respectively.
Nu, Re, Pr, Gr
Solution
Nusselt number (Nu) is a non dimensional heat transfer coefficient. It is a measure of heat
transfer rate comparison between the conduction and convection.
Nu = h*L / kf
It is the ratio of convection to pure conduction heat transfer, where kf is the conductivity of the
fluid.
Reynolds number (Re) says, whether the flow is inertial or viscous force dominant that leads to
draw characteristics of fluid whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.
Re = v*L / kinematic viscosity
It is the ratio of the inertia and viscous forces.
Viscous force provides the dampening effect for disturbances in the fluid.
If dampening is laminar flow --> strong enough
Otherwise, instability è turbulent flow --> critical Reynolds number
Prandtl (Pr) number says about the kind of fluid. It can give the information about the thickness
of thermal and hydrodynamic boundary layer.
Pr = kinematic viscosity/thermal diffusivity
It is the ratio of the momentum and thermal diffusivities.
Grashof number is the ratio of buoyancy force to viscous force and plays nearly the same role as
the Reynolds number in forced convection.
Gr = buoyancy force / viscous force
For forced convection, the heat transfer correlation can be expressed as Nu=f (Re, Pr).

Explain the long-run consequences of continued increases in the money supply.
Solution
This follows from the Fisher\'s equation of exchange. According to this,
MV = PY
P= MV/Y
In classical theory, V is assumed to be constant because it depends on people\'s stable habits of
holding money and the given modes of payments of wages and salaries.
Further they assume that aggregate output (Y) remain constant at full employment level. The
above equation indicates that the quantity of money in the long run determines the price level.
The rationale behind this was with V and Y fixed, increase in money supply would cause people
to hold more money than they desire to hold. This they use for transaction purposes which leads
to increase in the price level by the same proportion..

Explain the effects of a tariff and a quota placed on imported automobiles on a domestic market.
Who is hurt with a tariff or a quota and why? Who benefits and why?
Solution
Let us first understand the meaning of “Tariff” and “Quota”.
1) Tariff: A Tariff is a tax imposed on imported goods; it increases the price of the good in the
domestic market by the value of the Tariff. Domestic producers benefit due to the tariff because
they receive higher prices. The government benefits by collecting tax revenues by the value of
the Tariff.
2) Quota: As the name suggests, Quotas are numerical limits imposed on imported goods.
Consumers are harmed by quotas, while domestic and foreign producers benefit by receiving
higher prices.
As we can understand from the above explanations, due to a tariff and quota the consumer of the
product is hurt the most as he/she pays more for it and it also reduces the supply of that good.
The domestic producers of the goods benefit the most due to tariffs and quotas. Due to the tariff
the imported good becomes expensive and hence consumers will shift their demand for the
domestically made products and this increases the demand for the domestically made products
and the domestic manufacturers benefit. Due to the quotas, the supply of the imported good
decreases and again the domestic manufacturers benefit due to the higher demand of their
products. Due to a tariff, the government also benefits because the government receives taxes on
the imported product.

Explain the disadvantages of a firm developing relationships with suppliers based on price alone.
Solution
Supply chain suffers: Enlightened thinking suggests that it is preferable to work with suppliers to
add value to the supply chain so that the overall benefits that accrue can be shared amongst all
the parties involved.
Loss of quality: Quality may be compromised in a quest for the lowest price.
Adversarial: The relationship between a firm and its suppliers may become quite adversarial
when discussions are centred on price alone.
Loss of goodwill: The potential loyalty, cooperation and goodwill of suppliers may be
sacrificedthrough harsh negotiation of prices. This may result in an unwillingness of suppliers to
cooperate when there are changes and rush orders, etc. in the future.
Jeopardised supply: Harsh price negotiations may also destabilise suppliers financially making
them more vulnerable to going out of business, so potentially jeopardising future supply.
Administrative expense: Focusing on the lowest price available might lead to a need to
frequently change supplier causing increased administrative effort and a lack of coherence in
external dealings..

Precipitation hardening, or age hardening, is used to strengthen aluminum alloys by forming uniformly dispersed second-phase particles within the alloy's matrix that act as obstacles to dislocation movement. The process involves solution heat treating the alloy to dissolve precipitates, quenching it to retain the solute in solid solution, and then aging it to nucleate and grow precipitate particles within the matrix that increase the alloy's strength and hardness.

Explain FIVE main disadvantages of outsourcing for an organisation..pdf
- 1. Explain FIVE main disadvantages of outsourcing for an organisation. Solution There are several disadvantages of outsourcing including the following: Surrender of core competence The services may represent (or contribute to) a core competence for the organisation. If this is the case, outsourcing would be inadvisable as the basis of the organisation's competitive advantage could be threatened unnecessarily. Lack of understanding There may be a potential lack of understanding of the ethos of the business by the contractors of the outsourced service. There may be resistance from staff groups and unions representing in- house workers whose jobs may be threatened. This may harm industrial relations and possibly lead to disruption in performance. Under these conditions the initiative may be counter- productive. Outsourcing and a threat of job losses could undermine the psychological contract and lead to a lack of motivation within the workforce. Damage to culture The move to outsourcing may detract from a positive organisational culture by eroding shared values and good will. Transaction costs Additional costs will be incurred associated with determining service specifications and ultimately monitoring performance (so-called transaction costs). Finality of decision Once a service has been contracted out it may be very difficult to take back in-house at a later date if things do not work out.
