What are the different levels of diversification firms can purpsue by using different corporate level strategies and what are the advantages to diversifying their operations? Solution Diversified firms vary according to their level of diversification and the connections between and among their businesses. Figure 1 lists and defines five categories of businesses according to increasing levels of diversification. The single and dominant-business categories denote relatively low levels of diversification; more fully diversified firms are classified into related and unrelated categories. A firm is related through its diversification when its businesses share several links; for example, businesses may share products (goods or services), technologies, or distribution channels. The more links among businesses, the more .

Unit 3 strategic management
The document discusses various strategic management concepts including strategy formulation, levels of strategy (corporate, business, functional), types of growth strategies (concentration, diversification), retrenchment strategies (turnaround, divestment, liquidation), and combination strategies. It also discusses Porter's Diamond Model of national competitive advantage and factors that influence a nation's competitiveness such as firm strategy/rivalry, factor conditions, demand conditions, and related/supporting industries. Mergers and acquisitions are defined as ways companies can combine, with mergers integrating two companies and acquisitions involving one company purchasing another.

The document discusses corporate level and international strategy, specifically related to diversification. It defines diversity as a strategy that expands an organization into new markets and products. There are potentially value-creating reasons for diversification, such as utilizing underused resources and applying managerial capabilities to new areas. Related diversification stays within an organization's capabilities and value network, while unrelated diversification moves beyond these. Research shows that limited related diversification tends to outperform both undiversified and heavily diversified approaches in terms of performance. Managing the balance of diversification is important for a company's portfolio.
Strategic Planning by Ms. Negradas, Nelyn
This document discusses the differences between corporate strategy and functional strategy. Corporate strategy refers to the overall goals and direction of an entire organization, while functional strategy focuses on the strategies for individual departments like marketing, finance, and operations. Corporate strategy is concerned with issues like the industries and businesses the organization competes in, how business units are integrated and managed, and competitive positioning. Functional strategy involves developing resources to efficiently execute business unit strategies in areas like business processes and the value chain.

The trust formula
Based on my experience with the trust-building challenge, I have structured and formalized an approach that I found particularly successful when applied early on in defining marketing plans, here it is in a nutshell: it comes from putting together what has worked in the past (if there is some history) or similar experiences in the same industry and group every initiative into a “formula” that delivers consistently on the objective of building and sustaining trust.
I borrowed the structure from the well-known and widely implemented three-factor authentication wireframe: something you know, something you have, something you are and I added to this an overarching result-enhancer that is communication.
Therefore, the trust formula assumes you succeed in building trust by communicating consistently over time something you know, something you have and something you are.

Notes from readings
In a functional structure, also called a U-form (unitary structure), activities are grouped together by common function from the bottom to the top of the organization.33 The functional structure groups positions into departments based on similar skills, expertise, work activities, and resource use. A functional structure can be thought of as departmentalization by organizational resources because each type of functional activity—accounting, human resources, engineering, and manufacturing—represents specific resources for performing the organization's task. People, facilities, and other resources representing a common function are grouped into a single department. One example is Blue Bell Creameries, which relies on in-depth expertise in its various functional departments to produce high-quality ice cream for a limited regional market. The quality control department, for example, tests all incoming ingredients and ensures that only the best go into Blue Bell's ice cream. Quality inspectors also test outgoing products and, because of their years of experience, can detect the slightest deviation from expected quality. Blue Bell also has functional departments such as sales, production, maintenance, distribution, research and development, and finance.34
The functional structure is a strong vertical design. Information flows up and down the vertical hierarchy, and the chain of command converges at the top of the organization. In a functional structure, people within a department communicate primarily with others in the same department to coordinate work and accomplish tasks or implement decisions that are passed down the hierarchy. Managers and employees are compatible because of similar training and expertise. Typically, rules and procedures govern the duties and responsibilities of each employee, and employees at lower hierarchical levels accept the right of those higher in the hierarchy to make decisions and issue orders.
Functional Advantages and Disadvantages
Grouping employees by common task permits economies of scale and efficient resource use. For example, at American Airlines, all information technology people work in the same large department. They have the expertise and skills to handle almost any issue related to information technology for ...
COMMUNICATION
1) Business communication refers to internal and external communication within a business that aims to promote products, services, or ideas. It includes areas like management, public relations, marketing, advertising, and sales.
2) Promotion focuses only on consumer communication through advertising and public relations, while business communication deals with all aspects of the communication process regarding business.
3) Business communication is more effective than promotion because it encompasses promotion but also considers additional factors like building loyalty, corporate image, business performance, and communicating during mergers or acquisitions. Promotion is only one part of the larger scope of business communication.
Diversity And Its Impact In An Organization
Diversity and inclusion in the workplace leads to improved business outcomes. Companies with diverse executive teams are more profitable - those with gender diverse teams are 33% more likely to outperform, and those with ethnically/culturally diverse teams are 21% more likely. However, organizations often fail to implement diversity initiatives effectively and sustain them over time. To ensure diversity and inclusion, companies must define their goals, develop mentoring programs, address unconscious biases, empower learning, and take measurable steps like auditing their spaces and policies. Sustaining initiatives requires ongoing efforts like community involvement and taking stands on important issues.

Msm chapter2 structure
The document discusses organizational structure for sales departments. It considers factors like reporting hierarchies, job descriptions, and objectives. There are generally three rules for structure: maintain a fast, flexible organization; eliminate redundant layers and behaviors to simplify; and put best people closest to customers. Structure follows strategy based on the company's mission, goals, and sales strategies. Customer-oriented structures organize by customer type or category while product-oriented structures organize by product. Span of control, or the number reporting to a manager, depends on job complexity, scope, interaction needs, experience, personality, and manager experience. Teams can help keep organizations flat by being self-managed.

What is entropy- What is its significance for engineering devices and.docx
What is entropy? What is its significance for engineering devices and processes?
Solution
Entropy is a thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system\'s thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system. The entropy of a substance is real physical quantity and is a definite function of the state of the body like pressure, temperature, volume of internal energy.
Significance- the significance of entropy revolves around the stability of a system/reaction. the higher the entropy, the more unstable the system/reaction. from the third law of thermodynamics we know that the entropy of a crystalline solid is zero at the absolute temperature (0 K). thus this is the most stable form of a substance. An increase in entropy implies a transition from on ordered to a less ordered state of affair.

What is Contingent Liabilities-SolutionContingent liabilities are thos.docx
What is Contingent Liabilities?
Solution
Contingent liabilities are those liabilities which are not liabilities as of now.
In future they may become liabilities. They are called contingent because they are not real.
Example: A bank shows all bank guarantees it has issued as contingent liabilities in its balance sheet. Reason: those bank guarantees may be invoked and may actually become liability in some unknown date in future.
Contingent liabilities are mentioned in balance sheet and annual report. There is a solid reason for the same. Suppose any contingent liability becomes a real liability in future then the stake holders in the company should not get surprised by sudden expense by the company.
Investors need to be informed of possible liabilities in future.

The CORBA, which stands for Common Object Request Broker Architecture which was developed by the Object Management Group (OMG) which is a standard to provide communication among distributed objects.
The communication between client and server is accomplished through a well-defined object-oriented interface. The Object Request Broker (ORB) determines the location of the target object, sends a request to that object, and returns any response back to the caller.
An Interface Definition Language (IDL) is the OMG standard used define the interface definitions or APIs, which provides a platform independent flexibility.

What is black box testing-SolutionBlack Box Testing-- Black box testin.docx
What is black box testing?
Solution
Black Box Testing:-
Black box testing refers to the testing of an application or software, it is actually used to test the functionality of the particular software without actually connecting the software to the actual peers,which it will use when it will actually start working.
So in other words we can say that is a dummy kind of testing done before launching the Software or the Application to make sure that it is working up to the mark.
It is also used to test different stages of the software while it is being build like unit, integration, system and acceptance,that is each virtual layer of testing can be done before the Software or the Application is Released.

What is an ETL plan that Ralph Kimball identifies from the 34 Subsyste.docx
What is an ETL plan that Ralph Kimball identifies from the 34 Subsystems that emphasize the most important within an organization.
Solution
The Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) system, that Ralph Kimball identifies from the 34 subsytems that emphasize the most important within an organization, is often estimated to consume 70 percent of the time and effort of building a data warehouse. But there hasn\'t been enough careful thinking about just why the ETL system is so complex and resource intensive.I think Everyone understands the three letters: You get the data out of its original source location (E), you do something to it (T), and then you load it (L) into a final set of tables for the users to query.The Ralph Kimball Group has been exposed to hundreds of successful data warehouses. Careful study of these successes has revealed a set of extract, transformation, and load (ETL) best practices.

What is bit stuffing in CAN messages- Why do we use it -SolutionBit st.docx
What is bit stuffing in CAN messages? Why do we use it ?
Solution
Bit stuffing is a provider for Error Handling when Transfer Layer instead of Physical Layer in Control Area Network (CAN).A Controller Area Network (CAN bus) is a vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other in applications without a host computer. It is a message-based protocol, designed originally for multiplex electrical wiring within automobiles, but is also used in many other contexts.
It serves two purposes
In CAN bit Synchronization happens with an edge. So inserting an edge after 5 consecutive homogeneous bits ensures synchronization of all nodes. When the receiver is receiving homogeneous bits it will not understand whether it is reading the bit. so to avoid resulting Bit error Bit Stuffing is used.

What is a reasons for using layered protocols- What is one possible di.docx
What is a reasons for using layered protocols?
What is one possible disadvantage of using layered protocols?
Solution
Reasons for using Layered protocols:
1. Layering of protocols provides well-defined interfaces between the layers, so that a change in one layer does not affect an adjacent layer.
2. The protocols of a network are highly complicated and designing them in layers make their implementation more feasible.
Possible disadvantage of using Layered Protocol:
Each layer potentially puts overhead both in terms of information stored in protocol headers and processing time.

What is a false positive and how could it be used to hide a real attac.docx
What is a false positive and how could it be used to hide a real attack?
Solution
False positives are alerts generated by an IDS because it thinks it has detected a valid attack against a monitored system,but the attack really is not valid.False Positives are problems because they create alert noise that can hide a real attack,and then can send you a wild goos chases for attacks that never relly happened.
A False positive occurs when an IDS generates an alert on either
Network traffic that looks like an attack to the IDS,but isnot an attack.
A real attack that attack doesnot applyto the system being monitored.
A false negative is a real attack that was missed by the IDS, and therefore not alerted on.An IDS might miss an attack because the attack is not one it recognizes,becuse the IDS overwhelmed or because the attacker has successfully used a method of evading the IDS.

What impact does font selection have on readability-SolutionFont selec.docx
What impact does font selection have on readability?
Solution
Font selection plays a vital role in the readability. With different sizes and types of fonts we differentiate between headings, sub headings and the content of the paragraph.
We can even differentiate between the definition, explanation and example of a particular content in particular context.
For comfortable reading, we must always choose simple font like Times, Times New Roman,Calibri etc.
Fonts can also be used to display the content in artistic way. Usually these font types will be artistic and attractive look and feel but very complex when it comes to the point of readability.
In this manner font selection has various impact on readability.some are very simple and soothing which provide ease of readability and some are very complex it terms of readability.

What if Source One were to argue that it was merely an agent and was o.docx
What if Source One were to argue that it was merely an agent and was only responsible for gathering information... could Source One claim that its client is a principle, and therefore Source One is not responsible for the information request made by the client?
Solution
The attorney-client privilege has become one of the most complex
and therefore, litigated privileges.
1 This is due, in significant part, to the difficulties created by the concept of confidentiality.
2 From the creation and preservation of the privilege, to the development of the
facts to prove the legitimacy of the claim, the requirement of
confidentiality
3 has created time-consuming and costly responsibilities
for both litigants and judges.
4 In addition, confidentiality has been interpreted as imposing a superfluous secrecy requirement that has
generated conflicting decisions and practices.

What effect would the contamination by the following impurities have on the melting point of benzoic acid?
a. sand
b. benzoin
c. broken glass
d. pieces of insoluble cork
e. water
f. acetylsalicylic acid
Solution
There would be no effect on melting point of benzene of
Sand
Broken glass
And pieces of insoluble cork as they can no way interact chemically.
In case of benzoin and water, due to significant hydrogen bonding, melting point of benzene increases
For the case of acetylsalicylic acid, it does not increase because the acid hardly interact and form bond due to its large size and stearic hindrance.

What does wave-particle duality of light mean- What are some of the ev.docx
Wave-particle duality of light refers to light behaving as both a particle and wave depending on the situation. The photoelectric effect provides evidence for light's particle nature by ejecting electrons from metal when photons with sufficient energy strike. Young's double slit experiment supports light's wave nature through the interference of coherent waves which increases light intensity, demonstrating its wave-like properties.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

What are the different levels of diversification firms can purpsue by.docx
- 1. What are the different levels of diversification firms can purpsue by using different corporate level strategies and what are the advantages to diversifying their operations? Solution Diversified firms vary according to their level of diversification and the connections between and among their businesses. Figure 1 lists and defines five categories of businesses according to increasing levels of diversification. The single and dominant-business categories denote relatively low levels of diversification; more fully diversified firms are classified into related and unrelated categories. A firm is related through its diversification when its businesses share several links; for example, businesses may share products (goods or services), technologies, or distribution channels. The more links among businesses, the more
