Merck's income as a percentage of revenue has averaged 27.51% over the last 5 years, higher than its competitors' average of 23%. Merck's revenue per employee was lower in recent years due to an 81% increase in employees from a merger, but this metric should rise as Merck cuts almost 20,000 jobs by the end of 2012. Merck had a lower return on investment in 2009 because of a large acquisition, but it has shown steady high returns on assets, demonstrating effective management.

Daimler Chrysler is creating brochures and posters to promote Jeep purchases to sporty outdoor enthusiasts. The target audience enjoys outdoor activities, has low brand loyalty, seeks independence in purchase decisions, and prioritizes family over work. Advertising should focus on Jeep's performance, reliability, ability to access rugged terrain comfortably and securely. Considerations include purchase costs, warranties, and competitors. Effective messaging will show Jeeps being used in outdoor activities and use attention-grabbing designs. Negative reactions may occur from competitors, prices, or inappropriate ad placements.

Analysing the link between CEO remuneration and performance
This study analyzes the relationship between cost efficiency and CEO salary in the UK building society sector from 1998 to 2011 using stochastic frontier analysis. The analysis finds that building societies in the sample on average operate with 18% cost inefficiency. A regression then estimates the correlation between cost efficiency and CEO salary for a smaller sample of building societies. The results show that efficiency does not have a statistically significant impact on CEO remuneration, but firm size substantially influences executive pay levels.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM - Relational Productivity Applications Whitepaper
This document discusses the need for relational productivity applications (RPAs) that integrate collaborative information work tools with structured transaction processing systems. As business pressures mount to improve customer experience while reducing costs, there is a need to better align information workers with task workers. The document proposes an RPA architecture that combines a relational line-of-business application with a collaboration environment. It argues that Microsoft Dynamics CRM and SharePoint can realize this by integrating their respective capabilities to allow all workers access to necessary information. An RPA's value depends on a business's need to blend information and task work, and it may be optimally presented through SharePoint, Outlook, or the CRM interface depending on each situation.
Info flow project mfg paper
Project manufacturers face unique challenges in managing complex projects with low production volumes and frequent changes. Using manual systems to manage information leads to inefficiencies and increased costs. Implementing manufacturing execution systems (MES) that integrate with ERP systems allows timely sharing of production information across the organization. This improves visibility, reduces errors, and enables better decision making, leading to increased operational performance through higher efficiency, quality and lower costs. Studies show manufacturers using MES see significant improvements in key financial metrics like return on assets. By facilitating integrated information flow, MES gives project manufacturers the agility needed to thrive in challenging market conditions.

This paper deals with the applications of optimization principle in optimizing
profits of a production industry using linear programming to examine the production
cost and determine its optimal profit. Linear programming is an operation research
technique which is widely used in finding solutions to managerial decision problems.
However, many enterprises make more use of the trial-and-error method. As such,
firms have been finding it difficult in allocating scarce resources in a manner that will
ensure profit maximization and/or cost minimization.
This paper makse use of secondary data collected from the records of the
Landmark University Bakery on five types of bread produced in the firm which
include Family loaf, sliced family bread, Chocolate loaf, medium size bread, small
size bread. A problem of this nature was identified as a linear programming problem,
formulated in Mathematical terms and solved using AMPL software. The solution
obtained revealed that Landmark bakery unit should concentrate much more in
production of 14,000 loaves of Family loaf and 10,571 loaves of Chocolate bread
while others type should be less produced since their value is turning to zero in order
to achieve a maximum monthly profit of N1,860,000. From the analysis, it was
observed that Family loaf and the Chocolate bread contributed objectively to the
profit. Hence, more of Family loaf and Chocolate bread are needed to be produced
and sold in order to maximize the profit
The Relevance and Value of a “Storage Hypervisor”
The document discusses the concept of a "storage hypervisor" which would provide a layer of abstraction between physical storage resources and applications using them, similar to how server hypervisors virtualize servers. It notes that server virtualization has proven very efficient by allowing multiple applications and operating systems to run on one physical server. A storage hypervisor could provide similar benefits by making storage from different vendors and with different protocols able to work together transparently and improve availability, speed, and utilization of storage resources. However, true storage hypervisors that provide all these capabilities in a multi-vendor environment have not been fully realized yet.

Communications Excellence
The document discusses trends in internal and external communications group structures and operations in the pharmaceutical industry. It provides insights from benchmarking research with 39 communications executives from 33 companies. Key findings include that external communications groups prefer assigning staff fully to customers and central locations. They outsource an average of 9% of employees globally. There is a trend toward more integrated internal and external communications groups to increase effectiveness. Email and intranet are seen as critical channels for internal communications in pharma companies.
From Cost To Profit
The document discusses how facility management (FM) can shift from a cost center to a value center by integrating with workplace productivity and talent management. It argues FM risks falling back into a reactive, cost-focused role without this shift. To make the shift, FM departments must quantify how their activities impact core business functions like marketing, human resources, and risk management. This helps demonstrate FM's alignment with key performance drivers like skilled staff and technology. Integrating FM with information technology and human resources can further increase workplace productivity and enterprise value.
Creating the Performance Driven Organisation - Paul Lim
The document discusses the importance of performance management for organizations. It outlines a methodology called VisionBridge for developing performance management programs. The methodology has three phases - identify, design, and execute. The identify phase uncovers business assumptions and maps operations. The design phase identifies key performance drivers, objectives, and indicators. The execute phase implements the performance system. The document argues that properly identifying and prioritizing the right performance metrics is critical for success. VisionBridge uses a technology architecture to integrate performance data across systems and support decision making.
Components of working capital and profitability
This document discusses the relationship between components of working capital and profitability. It defines key terms like working capital, current ratio, quick ratio, and debt ratio. It also describes the data collection process, which involved 411 fuel and energy companies in Pakistan from 2003 to 2012. The data was analyzed using fixed effect and random effect models as well as the Hausman test. The results found that under the random effects model, sales growth, quick ratio, company size, and operating cash flow impacted profitability. But under the fixed effects model, debt ratio, current ratio, and operating cash flow had an effect. In conclusion, the random effects model better fit the data based on statistical tests, but some results were ambiguous.

Enablers of productivity_report
This document analyzes factors that enable productivity using data from the Benchmark Index service. It finds that strategies focusing on market share build lower productivity than periods of consolidation focusing on existing customers. Graduate employment significantly impacts manufacturing productivity. Staff retention is critical, with high turnover reducing productivity by up to 25% in services. Training increases productivity more in manufacturing (up to 24%) than services (can reduce it by 18%). Expenditure on training improves productivity more in manufacturing (up to 47%) than services (up to 12%). Partnerships within supply chains and innovation yield earlier benefits for manufacturers. Automation and higher manager ratios correlate with higher productivity.
