...Executive Summary Strategic financial management is one of the most critical and important activities for the professional business manager. It is a fact that the consequences of all important management decisions, financial and otherwise, are immediately and/or eventually will be reflected in the financial performance of the business enterprise. Financial management is concerned with the efficient acquisition and deployment of both short and long-term financial resources, to ensure the objectives of the enterprise are achieved. Decisions must be taken in three key areas: * Investment - both long-term investment in non-current assets and short-term investment in working capital; * Finance - from what sources should funds be raised? * Dividends - how should cash funds be allocated to shareholders and how will the value of the business are affected by this? Efficient financial management requires the existence of some objective or goal, because judgment as to whether or not a financial decision is efficient must be made in light of some standard. Although various objectives are possible, we assume in this book that the goal of the firm is to maximize the wealth of the firm’s present owners. Shares of common stock give evidence of ownership in a corporation. Shareholder wealth is represented by the market price per share of the firm’s common stock, which, in turn, is a reflection of the firm’s investment, financing, and asset management decisions. The idea is...

...on the issue above, we suggested that Cold Cuts Ltd (CC) to reposition their long-term business strategies. Cold Cuts Ltd (CC) is a manufacturer specializing in refrigeration components, which focus on the Singapore local market, factory in China and exported worldwide. CC enjoyed the low cost in the China market which brings desired profit, they should consider to expand their business to a wider market that enable to have a greater customer base. Hence, business expansion strategies should consider about the countries with higher demand and cost concern. For example, India, which has the second larger population in the world, is the suitable market for the expansion. CC can enjoy the low labor cost with a mass production, reduce the production cost based on the economies of scale. Overall production cost reduction would leads to a profitable return and CC can actively compete in the market. Manufacturing of component in Singapore is much more expensive compared to China and India. We suggest CC to take the advantage of lower cost in China and India production. They could produce the components and send back to Singapore. By doing this, they can sell at a lower price which can attain the existing customers, as well as attract more potential customers. To avoid and eliminate the revenue dependency on the major customers, the lower price strategy could enlarge their market by having a larger amount of customers. Thus, CC can prevent the loss of major customer crisis with Secconz...

I also declare, if this is a practical skills assessment, that a Client/Interviewee Consent Form has been read and signed by both parties, and where applicable parental consent has been obtained. Introduction This essay will look at Clothing Company Pty Ltd, an organisation that has undergone change since its inception. The culture of the organisation will be examined, as will the leadership style. This essay will also examine the relationship between motivation and performance with the Clothing Company (CC Inc.). This essay will examine how the management style impacts on an organisation undergoing change. CC Inc. was formed by 2 Australians in the 1970’s, both keen to earn a living while living at the beach (Waddell, Cummings, Worley (2007). Beginning as a home-based business, the pair designed and manufactured beach wear which suited their own requirement. Attracting attention from both Australia and overseas, the business grew to become a workable enterprise. By the mid 1970’s the founders sold licenses for the CC brand. By the late 1980’s the USA arm of the business had become dominant and CC Inc. was floated on the New...

...1, What are the key strategic issues that Avery needs to consider? What are his options? Avery got a few options regarding key strategic issues he needs to consider. He could grow the company and enter into other segments of the business. This segment would be the plastics containers that would have potential. Other option is whether to acquire Continental Can Canada or not. The company generates $400 million in sales per year and it is the largest manufacturer in the Canadian region. That does not seem a whole lot. However, Continental’s USA business has estimated revenues of $1.3 billion which would double the size of Crown’s domestic operations. Also, Continental’s European operations generated estimated sales of $1.5 billion. Potential bidders for the acquisition are the major competitors of CCS. Avery is concerned about both options because they both have pros and cons. Entering the plastic can business segment would have the following pros: • Entering a new business segment, great for diversification • Decreasing shipping cost because of lighter weight • Made of natural resources • Plastic material can easily be formed/shaped Entering the plastic business segment would have the following cons: • Unknown business territory, no experience • Carbonation leaks after 4 month – major issue • Cannot be fully recycled Acquiring Continental Can Canada would have the following pros: • Double in size domestically, increase market share rapidly • Plastic container line...

...Email dirk.matten@nottingham.ac.uk www.nottingham.ac.uk/business/ICCSR Corporate Citizenship: Towards an extended theoretical conceptualization Dirk Matten & Andrew Crane Abstract Corporate citizenship (CC) has emerged as a prominent term in the management literature dealing with the social role of business. This paper critically examines the content of contemporary understandings of CC and locates them within the extant body of research dealing with business-society relations. Two conventional views of CC are catalogued – a limited view which largely equates CC with strategic philanthropy and an equivalent view which primarily conflates CC with CSR. Significant limits and redundancies are subsequently identified in these views, and the need for an extended theoretical conceptualization is highlighted. The main purpose of the paper is thus to realize a theoretically informed definition of CC that is descriptively robust and conceptually distinct from existing concepts in the literature. Specifically, the extended perspective on CC exposes the element of “citizenship” and conceptualizes CC as the administration of a bundle of individual citizenship rights – social, civil and political – conventionally granted and protected by governments. The implications of this view of CC for management theory and practice are suggested. Keywords: Corporate citizenship;...

...1. Campaign Title and time/date of the campaign: Canadian Club: Repositioning a Dormant Brand in 2007. 2. Situation Analysis: As we saw: The decline in sales was attributed to several factors including frequent changes in ownership, erosion of the brand value of CC, the entry of new brands in the market, change in consumers’ preference for vodka-based drinks, etc. According to industry observers, one of the major factors that contributed to the drop in sales was low brand awareness among customers, especially the younger generation. A shrinking advertising budget and weakening of marketing efforts had resulted in consumers forgetting the CC brand, experts pointed out. Moreover, from being ranked among the top ten spirits in the world in terms of sales in 1985 to reaching 36th position in 2007 showed that the brand needed a revival, according to them. The weak postion was attributed to the decline in CC’s quaartely sales over a period of 17 years. To add to its troubles, its arch-rival, Crown Royal captured CC’s former place in the top ten spirit brands in the world. 3. Campaign Goal: While the goal is to increase the sales of alcohol. It was very clear and relevant. 4. Campaign Publics: What were the publics this campaign targeted? Were they segmented? How? What would you do differently with regard to targeting and segmenting of publics? The campaign targeted younger males other than the traditional 40-plus consumers. Then essence of the campaign was...

...piloting the carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technology to reduce the emitted CO2 into the atmosphere by storing the captured CO2 underground, it could reduce GHG by 14-19% before 2050. Shell Ltd. Quest project is the first project to use CCS technology in the Athabasca oil sand projects in Canada. The Post combustion method is being used today at a smaller scale than desired. It is estimated that if post-combustion was to occur at a large industrial scale, it required energy of 25-37% of the total energy, and an estimate of about $3500/kW for the capital cost of an IGCC capture plant installation. Pre-combustion capture has a lower cost in carbon capture and higher capture percentage (90-95%) than the post-combustion capture, but requires more expense on the equipment in order for the process to work. Oxyfuel has the best efficiency (~90%) but requires 15% or more of the overall energy with a capital cost for oxyfuel installation of $1000/kW and a $60/MWh retrofit cost. Geological storage is a favourable method, where the captured CO2 travels to the storage site usually through pipelines and injected underground. An estimate of 600 million tonne of CO2/ year can be stored within the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The CO2 injected into the ground have a storage rate of more than 99% over 1000 years in well geological reservoirs. Geohazards are the main concern with CCS technology; leakage could occur during any stage of the CCS (i.e. capture, transport, and storage)...

... However, in this instance, these measures were entirely overlooked. Thus, the project failed to meet the brief due to lack of proper management at the initiation and execution stages. This analysis points up three major areas of concern, namely: project selection (includes staff competencies); managerial support (includes organisational culture); and communication issues (for internal and external stakeholders). Out of the discussion, conclusions were drawn which then helped formulate practical recommendations to address issues raised now, and to ward off future repetition. 1. INTRODUCTION This report seeks to isolate the reasons why a recent collaboration with Peters Company (PC), a company with which Corwin Corporation (CC) had an established and healthy working relationship, floundered. Not only did CC lose out financially but its future potential revenues from Peters have been jeopardised. CC’s strong reputation has received negative publicity at a time of global recession. The investigation was tasked with examining the actions of relevant employees in the context of standardised procedures and technical operations. It was also possible to compare this project with historical projects of a similar nature. Due to the breakdown in the relationship with PC, our consultants were unable to glean data from that quarter which may have led to a fuller understanding of...
