Executive summaryThis report created from the financial statements of The Coca-Cola Company (KO) provides an analysis and evaluation of the actual and the prospective liquidity, profitability and the financial stability of the company. The methods that have been used in the analysis include trend analysis, the vertical analysis and the horizontal analysis. Also we have used certain analysis such as Quick ratio, debt ratio, and the current ratios. More calculations that have been used includes the returns on the owners equity, the earning per share, net operating working capital, total operating capital, net operating capital, net operating profit after taxes, operating cash flow and free cash flow. A result from the data reveals that, all the company ratios are above the industries averages. Comparative performance is good in the area of the liquidity, credit control and inventory management.
The report finds that the tidings for the company are positive in the near future. The major areas of weakness highlighted require further investigation and immediate action by management. The recommendations that were provided include;
· Improving the average accounts receivable collection period,
· Raising/ increasing the inventory turnover and reduction of prepayments in order to have enough operating cash for the subsequent periods.
The investigation in this report also had its shortcomings that arose and are highlighted as;
The forecasted figures used are estimates that sometimes maybe arbitrate; we also cannot fully provide data on the position of other companies with the data limitation we have experienced.

The common size analysis of the income statement shows that both corporations have recorded relatively stable gross profit in the last three years, which are marginally close to each other. Flowserve marginally declined by 1% in 2017 while Honeywell has recorded a similar decline in 2018. However, Flowserve has very high operating expenses, which are 90% more than the excess recorded by its peer. This indicates that Honeywell has higher risks of earning profits compared to its rival, which has lower operating expenses. The high operating expenses have contributed to the low net incomes and the operating incomes reported by Flowserve compared to its peer. Flowserve operating incomes are lower, about half of those reported by its peer in the market while the net incomes are closer to 4 times lower than its peers. This trend indicates that Flowserve has challenges with the operating costs, which have made the company report very low operating and net incomes compared to its peer.
Flowserve has higher current assets and the plant, properties, and equipment than its peer. The larger amount of asset held has a lower contribution to the company profits compared to its rival who have reported higher earnings but lower current and the PPE. Both companies hold large a.

The ratios for Adamas Pharmaceutical for the FY 2012 and 2013 are presented above.
Liquidity Ratios:
Liquidity ratios according to Investopedia are used by investors to determine the overall ability o1f a company to meet its short term liabilities with its short term assets. The ratio analyzed to access the company liquidity was current ratio which compares ac company’s current assets with its current liabilities. A current ratio of greater that one is generally considered to be satisfactory.(Investopedia, Liquidity ratio, n.d) (Investopedia, Current ratio, n.d)
The result of the ratio analysis indicates that Adamas Pharmaceutical was able to increase in current ratio from 1.67 in FY 2012 to 20.39 in FY 2013. The said increase was as a result of the sudden decline in the current liabilities of the company which decreased from 38 million USD to 4 million USD in 2013. Further the performance of the company in comparison to the competitor also indicates a better liquidity position as the competitor had a much lower current ratio i.e. 4.29 in FY 2013.
Profitability Ratios:
Profitability ratios are ratios used to analyses how successful the management of a company has been in converting its eFICS into profits. More specifically the ratios are aimed at interpreting the overall success the company has had in conversion of capital into returns.
Operating profit margin is a profitability measure used to measure the profits a business earns from its core operations. More specifically the measure does not include the earnings forma the non-operating investments a company has made and the impact of taxes and interest. The operating profit of Adamas Pharmaceutical in the two years under observation showed a positive trend and increased from 53.24% in FY 2012 to over 80% in FY 2013. The said increase in operating profit can be traced to the fact that there was a considerable increase in the company revenues which increased from USD 37 million in 2012 to USD 71 million in the year 2013 i.e. an almost 100% increase. The operating expenses on the other hand saw a decline from USD 18 million to USD 14 million resulting in the overall increase in the operating profit margin. (Investopedia, Operating profit, n.d)
When compared to the competitor the Adamas Pharmaceutical had a clear advantage in terms of operating profit as competitor has lower operating profits in both years under observation.
Net profit analysis i.e. an analysis of what a company earns after meeting all its expenses including interest and tax of the two companies in FY 2012 and FY 2013 again indicated a considerable advantage for Adamas Pharmaceutica ...

Profit Margins: A Bottoms-Up Analysis of S&P 500
A bottoms-up analysis of S&P500 profit margins confirms that profit margins have moved to new highs. However, a deeper dive into the details rejects the hypothesis that much of that improvement is a result of structural shifts towards a service driven economy. Read Multi-Act’s take on the profitability of the S&P 500 Index on a bottoms-up basis.

2017 U.S.Goodwill Impairment Study
Duff & Phelps and the Financial Executives Research Foundation (“FERF”) first published the results of their comprehensive Goodwill Impairment Study in 2009. This inaugural study examined U.S. publicly-traded companies’ recognition of goodwill impairment at the height of the financial crisis (the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009), and featured a comparative analysis of the goodwill impairments of over 5,000 companies (by industry), as well as the findings of a survey of Financial Executives International (“FEI”) members.

Stock Exchanges in the U.S
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the National Association for Stock Dealers Automated (NASDAQ) are the two largest stock exchanges in the United States. Both of them deal with large volumes of stock exchanges daily. However, these two stock exchanges have some differences including operational differences, the size and number of listings and different perspectives. With regards to the size and number of listings, NYSE has at least 2,400 firms with a combined market capitalization of 21.3 trillion and home to blue chip firms like Ford Motors, General Electric and Walmart. Nasdaq, on the other hand, has more firms than NYSE with a market capitalization of $200 million and is also home to large tech firms like Apple, Facebook and Amazon. From operational perspective, NYSE is an auction market while Nasdaq is a dealer market. With regards to different perspective, investors consider NYSE as a stock market for the tried and true securities while Nasdaq is seen as a market for growth-oriented tech stocks (Desjardins, 2017).
Free Cash Flow
According to Brigham and Ehrhardt (2017), free cash flow is the amount of cash that a business generates, after accounting for the non-current capital assets investments. Mathematically;
Free Cash Flow =Cash from operating activities-Capital expenditure
Apple Incorporation’s Free Cash Flow
An analysis of Apple Incorporation’s 2014 annual report indicates that the company’s cash flow from operations for the years ending September 28, 2014 and 2013 were $59,713 million and $53,666 million, respectively. Capital expenditures were $9,571 million and $8,165 million for the years ending 2014 and 2013, respectively (SEC, 2014a).
Free Cash flow;
For the year ending 2013;
Free Cash Flow= $53,666-$8,165
=$45,501 million
For the year ending 2014;
Free cash flow =$59,713-$9,571
=$50,142 million
Apple Incorporation had more cash inflows from its operating activities, because of its positive free cash flow, that could be spent on new capital investments. The increase in free cash flow from $45,501 million to $50,142 million between 2013 and 2014 is a sign of good financial performance.
Ford Motors Corporation’s Free Cash Flow
An analysis of Ford Motors Corporation’s 2014 annual report indicates that the company’s cash flow from operations for the years ending December 31, 2013 and 2014 were $10,444 million and $14,507 million, respectively. Capital expenditures were $ 6,597 million and $7,463 million for the years ending 2013 and 2014, respectively (SEC, 2014b).

Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings (Ticker: LH) - Lindsey
a)LH Strengths:
LapCorp reported a gross profit of $56,243 billion, an increase of 33.34 percent from the previous year. The Company also reported a total revenue of $16,120.9 billion in 2021, an increase of 13.39 percent from the previous year. These figures can show an increase in demand for the Company’s products and services. Additionally, total operating cash flow for 2021 was $3,109.6 billion, an increase of 31.33 percent from 2020. Investments made by the company can also be attributed to these gains.
Strengths from the balance sheet: Cash and cash equivalents for 2021 was reported at 14,727 billion, an increase of 10.31 percent from the previous year. Net Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E) in 2021 was $28,154 billion, an increase of 3.05 percent from the previous year. An increase in PPE makes sense when presented with the Company’s increase in revenue, more PP&E is needed for expansion in services and clients. Additionally, total liabilities decrease by over 10 percent in 2021 compared to 2020 (Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, 2022).

PHASE 2 INSTRUCTIONSStage 2 (10 of grade) The analysis port.docx
PHASE 2 INSTRUCTIONS:
Stage 2 (10% of grade): The analysis portion of the project (stage 2) is valued at 10 percent of your final grade, and consists of writing a 3-page, double-spaced paper supported by spreadsheets, graphs, etc. including financial and stock performance; international subsidiary analysis; country analysis; exposure and hedging analysis; currency analysis; tax analysis; industry and competitor analysis; and exposure analysis (transactions, translation, operating, and economic). Any charts, graphs and financial reports are not included in the 3-page requirement. This stage should be submitted in your assignment folder.
You have already performed a great deal of financial analysis in Stage 1 so you for the area of "financial and stock performance" you can focus in on stock performance. In finance.yahoo.com, you can find the historical prices of your chosen company's stock. You might want to report the stock price for the past 10-15 years in a table in an appendix and then perhaps discuss how those prices correlate (or don't correlate) with your financial analysis (from phase 1). A paragraph or two should be sufficient. I'd rather see you focus in on where the company does business internationally and then turn your focus to the international business dimensions present. (PHASE 1 IS ALSO ATTACHED TO HOMEWORK MARKET POST)
The assignment says you should produce a document that is 3 pages, double spaced. My guess is that a more realistic estimate of size will be 4-5 pages plus appendices. Again, you will run your paper through Turnitin to check for plagiarism.

"Considering Tradeoffs You Make Every Day"
Let's talk about two tradeoffs we face every day: how we spend our time and money.
We can only do two things with income: spend it or save it. Time is the ultimate resource. We can choose to spend time working to earn an income or we can do other things, broadly classified as leisure. Reply to these prompts to start your discussion:
· How does a change in interest rate affect your decision to spend or save? How would a change in the interest rate affect a firm's decision to invest or save?

Case Study - Option 3: Barbara
Barbara is a 22 year old woman who has recently graduated from college with a psychology degree. She is currently working as a waitress at a popular restaurant near campus, and says she has always planned to attend law school. Barbara was born in a New Orleans, Louisiana. Her mother is an African American who is an assistant manager at a grocery store. Her father is Caucasian and works at a department store. Barbara reports that she was a shy, unattractive child, but that in general her early childhood was "pretty happy." Barbara says that during elementary school, she was constantly harassed by classmates about being of mixed race. Still, she says that she felt very close to her family during this period. She now insists that "I am not black or white, I am me."
Barbara is sexually active and engages in sexual activity with different men at least 1 time a week. Barbara indicates that she does not need protection because she is on the pill. She says she is simply too young to settle down. During her junior year of high school, Barbara had her first serious boyfriend, Morris, who was a high school classmate. She describes the relationship as warm and supportive and they became sexually active during her senior year of high school. They broke up soon after the first sexual interaction. In college, Barbara has dated and she acknowledges some bisexual experimentation. Barbara says that she prefers heterosexual relationships, however.
Although Barbara appears to be a natural athlete, she leads a relatively sedentary lifestyle. She does not exercise regularly and indicates that it is just not enjoyable.
Barbara does not like her job at the restaurant, but seems unwilling to look for other employment. She says that she feels "very jittery" whenever she gets ready for work, and she uses any excuse to take days off. She also refuses to associate with fellow employees, and reports getting very anxious when she was given a surprise birthday party. Recently, she has lost interest in cleaning her house and seldom cooks for herself. She also attends less to her personal grooming.

The ratios for Adamas Pharmaceutical for the FY 2012 and 2013 are presented above.
Liquidity Ratios:
Liquidity ratios according to Investopedia are used by investors to determine the overall ability o1f a company to meet its short term liabilities with its short term assets. The ratio analyzed to access the company liquidity was current ratio which compares ac company’s current assets with its current liabilities. A current ratio of greater that one is generally considered to be satisfactory.(Investopedia, Liquidity ratio, n.d) (Investopedia, Current ratio, n.d)
The result of the ratio analysis indicates that Adamas Pharmaceutical was able to increase in current ratio from 1.67 in FY 2012 to 20.39 in FY 2013. The said increase was as a result of the sudden decline in the current liabilities of the company which decreased from 38 million USD to 4 million USD in 2013. Further the performance of the company in comparison to the competitor also indicates a better liquidity position as the competitor had a much lower current ratio i.e. 4.29 in FY 2013.
Profitability Ratios:
Profitability ratios are ratios used to analyses how successful the management of a company has been in converting its eFICS into profits. More specifically the ratios are aimed at interpreting the overall success the company has had in conversion of capital into returns.
Operating profit margin is a profitability measure used to measure the profits a business earns from its core operations. More specifically the measure does not include the earnings forma the non-operating investments a company has made and the impact of taxes and interest. The operating profit of Adamas Pharmaceutical in the two years under observation showed a positive trend and increased from 53.24% in FY 2012 to over 80% in FY 2013. The said increase in operating profit can be traced to the fact that there was a considerable increase in the company revenues which increased from USD 37 million in 2012 to USD 71 million in the year 2013 i.e. an almost 100% increase. The operating expenses on the other hand saw a decline from USD 18 million to USD 14 million resulting in the overall increase in the operating profit margin. (Investopedia, Operating profit, n.d)
When compared to the competitor the Adamas Pharmaceutical had a clear advantage in terms of operating profit as competitor has lower operating profits in both years under observation.
Net profit analysis i.e. an analysis of what a company earns after meeting all its expenses including interest and tax of the two companies in FY 2012 and FY 2013 again indicated a considerable advantage for Adamas Pharmaceutica ...

How do nations improve?
In thinking about how nations around the world should pursue the goal of raising their
standard of living, economists find it useful to divide those nations into three groups.

Case Study - Option 3: Barbara
Barbara is a 22 year old woman who has recently graduated from college with a psychology degree. She is currently working as a waitress at a popular restaurant near campus, and says she has always planned to attend law school. Barbara was born in a New Orleans, Louisiana. Her mother is an African American who is an assistant manager at a grocery store. Her father is Caucasian and works at a department store. Barbara reports that she was a shy, unattractive child, but that in general her early childhood was "pretty happy." Barbara says that during elementary school, she was constantly harassed by classmates about being of mixed race. Still, she says that she felt very close to her family during this period. She now insists that "I am not black or white, I am me."
Barbara is sexually active and engages in sexual activity with different men at least 1 time a week. Barbara indicates that she does not need protection because she is on the pill. She says she is simply too young to settle down. During her junior year of high school, Barbara had her first serious boyfriend, Morris, who was a high school classmate. She describes the relationship as warm and supportive and they became sexually active during her senior year of high school. They broke up soon after the first sexual interaction. In college, Barbara has dated and she acknowledges some bisexual experimentation. Barbara says that she prefers heterosexual relationships, however.
Although Barbara appears to be a natural athlete, she leads a relatively sedentary lifestyle. She does not exercise regularly and indicates that it is just not enjoyable.
Barbara does not like her job at the restaurant, but seems unwilling to look for other employment. She says that she feels "very jittery" whenever she gets ready for work, and she uses any excuse to take days off. She also refuses to associate with fellow employees, and reports getting very anxious when she was given a surprise birthday party. Recently, she has lost interest in cleaning her house and seldom cooks for herself. She also attends less to her personal grooming.

Case Study - Cyberterrorism—A New RealityWhen hackers claiming .docx
Case Study - Cyberterrorism—A New Reality:
When hackers claiming to support the Syrian regime of Bashar Al-Assad attacked and disabled the website of Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based satellite news channel, in September 2012, the act was another act of hacktivism, purporting to promote a specific political agenda over another. Hacktivism has become a very visible form of expressing dissent. Even though there have been numerous incidents reported by the media, the first case of hacktivism was documented in 1989 when a member of the Cult of the Dead Cow hacker collective named Omega coined the term in 1996. However, hacktivism is not the only form of cyber protest and conflict that has everyone from ICT professionals to governments scrambling for solutions. Individuals, enterprises, and governments alike rely in many instances almost completely on network computing technologies, including cloud computing. The international and ever-evolving nature of the Internet along with inadequate law enforcement and the anonymity the global architecture offers creates opportunities for hackers to attack vulnerable nodes for personal, financial, or political gain.
The Internet is also rapidly becoming the political and advocacy platform of choice, bringing with it both positive and negative consequences. Increasingly sophisticated off-the-shelf technologies and easy access to the Internet are significantly increasing incidents of cyberterrorism, netwars, and cyberwarfare. The following are a few examples.
• According to The Israel Electric Company, Israel is attacked 1,000 times a minute by cyberterrorists targeting the country’s infrastructure—water, electricity, communications, and other services.• The New York Times, quoting military officials, said there was a seventeen-fold increase in cyberattacks targeting the US critical infrastructure between 2009 and 2011.• The 2010 Data Breach Investigations Report has data recording more than 900 instances of computer hacking and other data breaches in the past seven years, resulting in some 900 million compromised records. In 2012, the same study listed 855 breaches, resulting in 174 million compromised records in 2011 alone, up from 4 million in 2010.• Another study of 49 breaches in 2011 reported that the average organizational cost of a data breach (including detection, internal response, notification, post notification cost) was $5.5 million. This number was down from $7.2 million in 2010.14 The Telegraph (London) reported that “India blamed a new ‘cyber-jihad’ by Pakistani militant groups for the exodus of thousands of people from India’s north-eastern minorities from its main southern cities in August after text messages warning them to flee went viral.”
There have been recorded instances of nations allegedly engaging in cyberwarfare. The Center for the Study of Technology and Society has identified five methods by which cyberwarfare can be used as a means of military action. These include defacing or di.

Case Study - Global Mobile Corporation Damn it, .docx
Case Study - Global Mobile Corporation
“Damn it, he's done it again!”
Charlie Newburg had to get up and walk around his office, he was so frustrated. He had been
reviewing the most recent design, parts, and assembly specifications for Global Mobile's latest
smart phone (code named: Nonphixhun) that had been released for production the previous
Thursday. The files had just come back to Charlie's engineering services department with a
caustic note that began, “This one can't be produced, either…” It was the fourth time production
had returned the design.
Newburg, director of engineering for the Global Mobile Corporation, was normally a quiet
person. But the Nonphixhun project was stretching his patience; it was beginning to appear like
several other new products that had hit delays and problems in the transition from design to
production during the eight months Charlie had worked for Global Mobile. These problems were
nothing new at Global Mobile's Asian factory; Charlie's predecessor in the engineering job had
run afoul of them, too, and had finally been fired for protesting too vehemently about the other
departments. But the Nonphixhun phone should have been different. Charlie and the firm's
president, Hannah Hoover, had video-conferenced two months earlier (on July 3, 2006) with the
factory superintendent, Tyson Wang, to smooth the way for the new phone's design. He thought
back to the meeting …
• “Now, we all know there's a tight deadline on the Nonphixhun,” Hannah Hoover said, “and
Charlie's done well to ask us to talk about its introduction. I'm counting on both of you to find
any snags in the system, and to work together to get that first production run out by October
2. Can you do it?” “We can do it in production if we get a clean design two weeks from
now, as scheduled,” answered Tyson Wang, the factory manager. “Charlie and I have already
talked about that, of course. I've spoken with our circuit board and other parts suppliers and
scheduled assembly capacity, and we'll be ready. If the design goes over schedule, though, I'll
have to fill in with other runs, and it will cost us a bundle to break in for the Nonphixhun.
How does it look in engineering, Charlie?” “I've just reviewed the design for the second
time,” Charlie replied. “If Marianne Price can keep the salespeople out of our hair, and avoid
any more last minute changes, we've got a shot. I've pulled my technical support people off of
three other overdue jobs to get this one out. But, Tyson, that means we can't spring engineers
loose to confer with your production people on other manufacturing problems.” “Well
Charlie, most of those problems are caused by the engineers, and we need them to resolve the
difficulties. We've all agreed that production problems come from both of us bowing to sales
pressure, and putting equipment into production before the designs are really ready. That's
just wh.
Case Study #3Apple Suppliers & Labor PracticesWith its h.docx
Case Study #3
Apple Suppliers & Labor Practices
With its highly coveted line of consumer electronics, Apple has a cult following among loyal consumers. During the 2014 holiday season, 74.5 million iPhones were sold. Demand like this meant that Apple was in line to make over $52 billion in profits in 2015, the largest annual profit ever generated from a company’s operations. Despite its consistent financial performance year over year, Apple’s robust profit margin hides a more complicated set of business ethics. Similar to many products sold in the U.S., Apple does not manufacture most its goods domestically. Most of the component sourcing and factory production is done overseas in conditions that critics have argued are dangerous to workers and harmful to the environment.
For example, tin is a major component in Apple’s products and much of it is sourced in Indonesia. Although there are mines that source tin ethically, there are also many that do not. One study found workers—many of them children—working in unsafe conditions, digging tin out by hand in mines prone to landslides that could bury workers alive. About 70% of the tin used in electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets comes from these more dangerous, small-scale mines. An investigation by the BBC revealed how perilous these working conditions can be. In interviews with miners, a 12-yearold working at the bottom of a 70-foot cliff of sand said: “I worry about landslides. The earth slipping from up there to the bottom. It could happen.”
Apple defends its practices by saying it only has so much control over monitoring and regulating its component sources. The company justifies its sourcing practices by saying that it is a complex process, with tens of thousands of miners selling tin, many of them through middle-men. In a statement to the BBC, Apple said “the simplest course of action would be for Apple to unilaterally refuse any tin from Indonesian mines. That would be easy for us to do and would certainly shield us from criticism. But that would also be the lazy and cowardly path, since it would do nothing to improve the situation. We have chosen to stay engaged and attempt to drive changes on the ground.”
In an effort for greater transparency, Apple has released annual reports detailing their work with suppliers and labor practices. While more recent investigations have shown some improvements to suppliers’ working conditions, Apple continues to face criticism as consumer demand for iPhones and other products continues to grow.

Case Study #1Jennifer is a 29-year-old administrative assistan.docx
Case Study #1
Jennifer is a 29-year-old administrative assistant married to Antonio, an Italian engineer, whom Jennifer met four years earlier while on a business trip for her marketing company. The couple now lives in Nebraska, where Antonio works for the county's transportation department and Jennifer commutes an hour each way to her marketing office. They have been trying to start a family for over a year. Eight months ago, Jennifer miscarried in her second month of pregnancy. Antonio's parents love Jennifer and often ask her if she is expecting again, hoping to encourage her to focus on her next baby. Jennifer's mother passed away two years ago and her father's health is rapidly deteriorating. Jennifer faces the probability of placing her father in a skilled nursing care facility within the next few months, against his wishes.
At work, Jennifer runs a tight ship. She is organized and prepares lists to assure that everything is done according to schedule. Everyone counts on Jennifer and she takes pride in never letting people down.
Jennifer has visited her physician numerous times in the last six months, complaining of headaches, backaches, and indigestion. Jennifer insists that she is happy and is not feeling stressed, yet she finds herself making more mistakes at work, unable to keep up with housework, and feeling tired and overwhelmed; she has begun to question her effectiveness as an employee, wife, daughter, and potential mother. Her pains seem to be increasing, but her doctor cannot find a physical cause for her discomfort.

Case Study # 2 –Danny’s Unhappy DutyEmployee ProfilesCaro.docx
Case Study # 2 –Danny’s Unhappy Duty
Employee Profiles
:
Carol Brown, Danny Winthrop, Thomas Fletcher
Carol, the Department Secretary for Purchasing and General Stores, has been
working at St. Louis Memorial Hospital for sixteen years, four of which have
been for the present Manager, Dan Winthrop. Carol likes her Boss, who gives
his employees more leeway than most. Carol’s main interests are her work and
her home—traits also typical of the other people who work in the Department.
Carol feels she is part of a close, cooperative group of employees.
Dan, or Danny, as he likes to be called, arrived at St. Louis Memorial four years
ago as a replacement for a Department manager who had been at the Hospital
for a number of years. Danny’s predecessor, Bill Taylor, was very strict in
everything from insisting that employees take exactly one-half hour for lunch
breaks to not having a coffee pot in the Department. When Danny came on
board as a Department Manager, his management style was much less strict.
The result was that Danny’s employees were much happier, and began to meet
and exceed expectations in getting their work done. St. Louis Memorial’s
previous CEO was a good friend and frequently complimented Danny on his
efficient and effective staff. Now a new CEO, Thomas Fletcher, has been hired
by the Hospital’s Board of Directors. Things are about to change.
Thomas Fletcher, new CEO and a recent graduate from a superior school of
hospital management, has always believed in “doing things by the book”.
Thomas originally had wanted to become a doctor, but decided two years into
the process that it was going to take him too long, and that he would be better
off becoming an administrator. He likes the idea of being an administrator,
and wants to be a good one. He has decided to start out his career at St. Louis
Memorial, of the smaller hospitals in the St. Louis area, but hopes to progress to a
a much larger facility in about four years, once he develops a track record at
St. Louis Memorial.
The Challenge: Communication, Criticism and Discipline, Leadership, Motivation,
Rules and Policies
Danny knows his employees quite well. They are generally a happy, cohesive, and cooperative group. They joke around a lot among themselves, but get the work done more than satisfactorily. All of them seem to give a

Case Study – Multicultural Parade
Read the Case below, and answer the following questions:
(No references needed, 2 pages double space, label the answer without copying the question in the paper)
1. What images come to mind when you hear the term “costume”? In what ways might it be considered demeaning?
2. Often people conflate “culture,” “ethnicity,” “heritage,” “race,” and “nationality,” or use them interchangeably. How are these concepts different from one another? Is a “Multicultural Day” different than an “International Day”?
3. How is Ms. Morrison’s definition of “cultural clothing” different from her definition of “ethnic heritage”? Did her explanation clarify things for Keisha and Emily?
4. How might activities that require students to share part of their ethnic heritage alienate students or contribute to students’ and teachers’ existing stereotypes and biases?
5. Connect to 3 of the core themes:
(Equity in Education/ Theories of Learning, Culture, and Identity/ Teaching and Learning in a Multicultural Society/ Research and Educational Knowledge )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Case Study:
In an effort to celebrate the growing racial and ethnic diversity at Eastern School, the school’s Diversity Committee decided to sponsor Multicultural Day. Numerous performers were hired for assemblies and presentations. During the day’s feature event, the “Culture Parade,” students were asked to showcase cultural clothing as they walked through the hallways. Teachers were encouraged by the committee to discuss clothing from countries outside the United States and to invite students who had such clothing to bring it to school for the parade.
Ms. Morrison was excited about Multicultural Day because many of her students had parents who were immigrants. She imagined the day as an opportunity for those students to teach others about their cultures.
A week before the event, Ms. Morrison brought a kilt to class and explained its significance to the students. “This represents my Scottish heritage,” she said, “and I am proud to show it to you today.” She then asked whether students had “special costumes” at home that represented their cultures. Several students raised their hands, which prompted Ms. Morrison to discuss the events planned for Multicultural Day, including the parade.
During dismissal the day before the parade Ms. Morrison announced, “Don’t forget to bring your costumes to class tomorrow!”
The next day, Ms. Morrison was pleased to see several Hmong and Liberian students came with bags of clothing. She saw that two other students, Emily and Keisha, brought clothing, so she inquired about what was in their bags. Emily, a white student excitedly pulled out her soccer uniform, and Keisha, an African American student, pulled jeans and her favorite sweatshirt out of her bag. Ms. Morrison told the two girls she appreciated the.
Case Study THE INVISIBLE SPONSOR1BackgroundSome execut.docx
Case Study : THE INVISIBLE SPONSOR1
Background
Some executives prefer to micromanage projects whereas other executives
are fearful of making a decision because, if they were to make the wrong
decision, it could impact their career. In this case study, the president of the company assigned one of the vice presidents to act as the project sponsor on a project designed to build tooling for a client. The sponsor, however, was reluctant to make any decisions.
Assigning the VP
Moreland Company was well-respected as a tooling design-and-build
company. Moreland was project-driven because all of its income came
from projects. Moreland was also reasonably mature in project management.
When the previous VP for engineering retired, Moreland hired an executive from a manufacturing company to replace him. The new VP for engineering, Al Zink, had excellent engineering knowledge about tooling but had worked for companies that were not project-driven. Al had very little knowledge about project management and had never functioned as a project sponsor. Because of Al’s lack of experience as a sponsor, the president decided that Al should “get his feet wet” as quickly as possible and assigned him as the project sponsor on a mediumsized project. The project manager on this project was Fred Cutler. Fred was an engineer with more than twenty years of experience in tooling design and manufacturing. Fred reported directly to Al Zink administratively.
Fred's Dilemma
Fred understood the situation; he would have to train Al Zink on how to
function as a project sponsor. This was a new experience for Fred because subordinates usually do not train senior personnel on how to do their job. Would Al Zink be receptive?
Fred explained the role of the sponsor and how there are certain project documents that require the signatures of both the project manager and the project sponsor. Everything seemed to be going well until Fred informed Al that the project sponsor is the person that the president eventually holds accountable for the success or failure of the project. Fred could tell that Al was
quite upset over this statement.
Al realized that the failure of a project where he was the sponsor could damage his reputation and career. Al was now uncomfortable about having to act as a sponsor but knew that he might eventually be assigned as a sponsor on other projects. Al also knew that this project was somewhat of a high risk. If Al could function as an invisible sponsor, he could avoid making any critical decisions.
In the first meeting between Fred and Al where Al was the sponsor, Al asked Fred for a copy of the schedule for the project. Fred responded: I’m working on the schedule right now. I cannot finish the schedule until you tell me whether you want me to lay out the schedule based upon best time, least cost, or least risk.
Al stated that he would think about it and get back to Fred as soon as possible.
During the middle of the next week, Fred and Al m.
CASE STUDY Experiential training encourages changes in work beha.docx
CASE STUDY: Experiential training encourages changes in work behavior and growth in one’s abilities, which is accomplished through a multitude of methods. Experiential training has proven to be cost-effective while motivating employees as well as improving self-awareness, personal accountability, teamwork skills, and communication skills (Ritchie, 2011). Additionally, the training methods provide trainees with direct experience, the opportunity to reflect on that experience, and share models to help trainees to deduce using both present and past experience, while accommodating learning styles and strengths (Ritchie, 2011). Valkanos and Fragoulis identify several reasons why experiential training provides value:
1. Ongoing advances in technology requiring changes in knowledge, skills, and abilities
2. Divergence between theory and practice
3. Mergers and acquisitions of enterprises which tend to bring new jobs, organizational culture, and work content
4. Constant environment of change, from working conditions to processes and procedures relating to organizational issues, quality, and new products or services, and requiring new competencies, duties, or work content (Valkanos & Fragoulis, 2007, p. 22).

BUS 308 Week 2 Lecture 1
Examining Differences - overview
Expected Outcomes
After reading this lecture, the student should be familiar with:
1. The importance of random sampling.
2. The meaning of statistical significance.
3. The basic approach to determining statistical significance.
4. The meaning of the null and alternate hypothesis statements.
5. The hypothesis testing process.
6. The purpose of the F-test and the T-test.
Overview
Last week we collected clues and evidence to help us answer our case question about
males and females getting equal pay for equal work. As we looked at the clues presented by the
salary and comp-ratio measures of pay, things got a bit confusing with results that did not see to
be consistent. We found, among other things, that the male and female compa-ratios were fairly
close together with the female mean being slightly larger. The salary analysis showed a different
view; here we noticed that the averages were apparently quite different with the males, on
average, earning more. Contradictory findings such as this are not all that uncommon when
examining data in the “real world.”
One issue that we could not fully address last week was how meaningful were the
differences? That is, would a different sample have results that might be completely different, or
can we be fairly sure that the observed differences are real and show up in the population as
well? This issue, often referred to as sampling error, deals with the fact that random samples
taken from a population will generally be a bit different than the actual population parameters,
but will be “close” enough to the actual.

Case Study Crocs Revolutionizing an Industry’s Supply Chain .docx
Case Study Crocs: Revolutionizing an Industry’s Supply Chain Model for
Competitive Advantage
If the products sell extremely well, we will
build more in season, and will be back on the
shelves in a few weeks. And we’ll build even
more, and even more, and even more, in that
same season. We’re not going to wait with a
hot new product until next year, when hope-
fully the same trend is alive.
—Ronald Snyder, CEO of Crocs, Inc.1
On May 3, 2007, Crocs, Inc. released its results for the
first quarter of the year. The footwear company,
which had sold its first shoes in 2003, reported reve-
nues of $142 million for the quarter, more than three
times its sales for the first quarter of 2006. Net in-
come, at $0.61 per share was more than 17 percent
of sales, nearly four times higher than the previous
year.2 These results far exceeded market expecta-
tions, which had been for earnings of $0.49 per share
on $114 million of revenue.3 As part of the earnings
release, the company announced a two-for-one stock
split. Immediately after the announcement, the stock
price jumped 15 percent.
The growth and profitability of Crocs, which made
funky, brightly colored shoes using an extremely com-
fortable plastic material, had been astounding. Much
of this growth had been made possible by a highly
flexible supply chain which enabled the company to
build additional product to fulfill new orders quickly
within the selling season, allowing it to respond to un-
expectedly high demand—a capability that was previ-
ously unheard of in the footwear industry. This ability
to fulfill the needs of retailers also made the company
a very popular supplier to shoe sellers.
This success also raised questions about how
the company should grow in the future. Should it
vertically integrate or grow through product line
extension? Should it grow organically or through ac-
quisition? Would potential growth paths exploit
Crocs’ core competencies or defocus them?
CROCS, INC.
In 2002, three friends from Boulder, Colorado went
sailing in the Caribbean. One brought a pair of foam
clog shoes that he had bought from a company in
Canada. The clogs were made from a special mate-
rial that did not slip on wet boat decks, was easy
to wash, prevented odor, and was extremely com-
fortable. The three, Lyndon “Duke” Hanson, Scott
Seamans, and George Boedecker, decided to start a
business selling these Canadian shoes to sailing en-
thusiasts out of a leased warehouse in Florida, as
Hanson said, “so we could work when we went on
sailing trips there.”4 The founders wanted to name
the shoes something that captured the amphibious
nature of the product. Since “Alligator” had already
been taken, they chose to name the shoes “Crocs.”
The shoes were an immediate success, and word
of mouth expanded the customer base to a wide
range of people who spent much of their days stand-
ing, such as doctors and gardeners. In October 2003,
as the business began to grow, th.

The Veterans Health Administration:
Taking Home Telehealth Services to
Scale Nationally
Andrew Broderick
ABSTRACT: Since the 1990s, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has used infor-
mation and communications technologies to provide high-quality, coordinated, and com-
prehensive primary and specialist care services to its veteran population. Within the VHA,
the Office of Telehealth Services offers veterans a program called Care Coordination/
Home Telehealth (CCHT) to provide routine noninstitutional care and targeted care man-
agement and case management services to veterans with diabetes, congestive heart fail-
ure, hypertension, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other conditions. The program uses
remote monitoring devices in veterans’ homes to communicate health status and to cap-
ture and transmit biometric data that are monitored remotely by care coordinators. CCHT
has shown promising results: fewer bed days of care, reduced hospital admissions, and
high rates of patient satisfaction. This issue brief highlights factors critical to the VHA’s
success—like the organization’s leadership, culture, and existing information technology
infrastructure—as well as opportunities and challenges.
OVERVIEW
Since the 1990s, information and communications technologies—including tele-
health—have been at the core of the Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA’s)
successful system-level transformation toward providing continuous, coordinated,
and comprehensive primary and specialist care services. The VHA’s leadership
and culture; underlying health information technology infrastructure; and strong
commitment to standardized work processes, policies, and training have all con-
tributed to the home telehealth program’s success in meeting the chronic care
needs of a population of aging veterans and reducing their use of institutional
care and its associated costs. The home teleheath model also encourages patient
activation, self-management, and helps in the early detection of complications.

Introduction to Quality Improvement Essentials
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
