...Task 3 D1: Evaluate the appropriateness of business information used to make strategic decisions Finance The finance department collects information from each department and will compare which are doing well and which are not, they will also compare their information with their competitors. The information they receive will help them to make improvements on the stores that are not doing so well. The finance department will also make future targets for the business to achieve. Tesco finance department collect information about their sales/profit figures and put it in a report for end of the year, this is also can be used to compare with their previous years to improve.

Analyse sales, and also predict profits. Tesco financial information will help them to plan future budgets and spending’s. The information will also help them on how well their stores are doing.

HAJI SOFIAN BIN SHAMSUDDIN SUBMISSION DATE: 16 OCTOBER 2014 Questions: Decision making is one of the management important functions. How do managerial accounting tools assist management in making effective decision? Managerial accounting is an integral part of management that deals with identifying, presenting, and interpreting information used for strategies, decision making, resource optimization, employee information, and control of activities, information of associates or other external user information.( Bricin, 2011) Managerial accounting is a field accounting that provides economic and financial information for managers and other internal users. It also applies to all types of businesses, includes corporations, partnerships, proprietorships, and non-profit. Managerial accounting absolutely completing all management functions such as planning, directing and controlling. In managerial accounting, decision-making may be simply defined as choosing a course of action from alternatives. If there are no alternatives, then no decision is required. A basis assumption is the best decision in the one that involves the most revenue or the least amount of cost. Any manager or business owners are faced with countless decisions every day. Managerial accounting information provides data-driven...

...DESBRIBE THE ROLE OF BUSINSS IN THE ECONOMY Everything we do revolves around business in the economy. For example, if the government hadn’t bailed out General Motors and Chrysler there would have been a devastating blow to our economy. Over 1 million Jobs would have been lost. The plant would have closed so all of those people would have been unemployed. Not only them but every company that dealt with the plant would have been affected. COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE ROLES OF FOR-PROFIT AND NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE ECONMONY. The main difference between a non-profit and a for-profit organization is that a non-profit has to have a 501C3 and they don’t “need” to earn a profit. 501C3 means you have to have a tax exempt status. They have many similarities. They both have a staff, budget, and offer goods or services. For-profit organizations main goal is to make a profit. Non-profit organizations are more socially driven and have stipulations on what the budget can be spent on. DISCUSS THE IMPACT OFCURRENT FISCAL AND MONETARY POLICY ON THE ECONOMY. It’s important to have a monetary and fiscal policy. Both of them provide ways to grow the economy. Monetary policies affect the economy by influencing interest rates. Fiscal policies use taxes to help grow the economy. SELECT A PRODUCT OR SERVICE WITH WHICH YOU ARE FAMILIAR AND OUTLINE A STRATEGY FOR ACCESSING GLOBAL MARKETS. I choose dolls.

...Quality in Different Countries The history of the quality movement and ethics reform go hand in hand in creating better Strategic Quality Management. In the U.S. the history of quality thinkers and contributors starts chapter 2 in our text; ‘Strategic Quality Management’. In 1987 Dr. Deming received the ‘National Medal of Technology’, for his impact on quality in the U.S. The Deming Prize for quality was started in Japan in 1951, and the U.S. in 1980. A little slow on the up take considering most of the innovators in the early years were American. There are so many quality thinkers besides Dr. Deming, in the U.S. researching and writing book about continuous quality improvement and on personal and business ethics during the 1970s and 1980s I will only name a few. Dr. Joseph Juran had a plan he called the Quality Trilogy; quality planning, control, and improvement. He used a disciplined approach project by project. For Dr. Juran it was an ethics issue to meet customers’ needs with a quality product or service. Philip Crosby believed in measuring the cost of nonconformance or poor quality and building a companywide philosophical for quality, personal, and organization improvement (Pryor, White, & Toombs, 2007). All these quality processes requires ‘doing the right thing the right way the first time and every time’. In 1996 Brown identified four ethical approaches used in making judgments as to what is the right thing to do. #1: What is right is determined by an absolute, widely...

...I just got back from a long stay in Sante Fe to gather my thoughts on innovation and design to see what I consider to be one of the great enemies of innovation—Home Depot’s CEO Bob Nardelli—bite the dust. Nardelli is a classic, GE-trained Six Sigma, command-and-control CEO and he imposed his mechanical process on a company that was known for its great fuzzy-front-end, pro-consumer culture. At a time when companies are learning that they are in the business of building tools to empower customers to create their own, personal products and services, Home Depot was literally in that space decades ago. It faltered and brought in a systems guy—trained in 1990s GE—and made the classic mistake that other companies make. Unfortunately, the new guy replacing Nardelli is another GE-alumnus. Let’s hope he’s more like Jeff Immelt than Nardelli. Nardelli came into Home Depot with a managerial style that was already obsolete and being replaced at GE by Immelt with his emphasis on eco-imagination. Autocratic top-down, command and control works great when you focus on process—cost and quality. Six Sigma measures all that stuff wonderfully. Nardelli couldn’t see beyond this. He hired dozens of command-and-control military guys to manage. He shifted Home Depot away from retail to a new contracting business that could more easily be controlled and measured. He was comfortable with this low-margin, wholesale business because it fit into his managerial style. When you live by measurement and numbers...

Established brands not only have tremendous brand recognition and a developed customer base but also the financial wherewithal to influence or manipulate the market conditions to make them more favorable to them. Nowhere is this more evident than in the hotel industy where large family firms have dominated the industry for decades. in addition the large initial investments, large overheads and fierce competiton often deter new entrants. However, the advent of the internet and consequently E-busness and IT business solutions has significantly leveled said playing field. With tourism increasing rapidly, especially from inxcreasingly affluent middle classes from the Newly Industrialized Economies (NICs), the hotel industry faces new challenges and opportunities, somthing...

...Nokia’s position in the global communication marketplace Jeremy G. Cruz, MBA SBS Swiss Business School, Kloten, CH. 40 SBS JABR - Vol 3 Abstract Nokia is a global leader in mobile communications whose products have become an integral part of the lives of people all around the world. After over a decade of leading the mobile industry, Nokia, between 2007 and 2012, has fallen behind its competitors who have more recently entered the market. The gap between Nokia, and the competition has increased significantly and Nokia is now struggling in an effort to try to regain its role as a global competitor. In this article, we are trying to understand what has happened, what the current situation is, and what Nokia could do to return to full profitability and leadership in the current, global marketplace. In order to do that, we have attempted to analyze Nokia’s business-level positioning strategy, including market positioning of its strategic business units, as well as how the positioning strategy influences the competitive and/or cooperative dynamics of the industry. Additionally, we will analyze Nokia’s corporate-level strategy, identifying the businesses the company is in and is considering entering, how they are related or unrelated, and whether and how they create additional value.

...Employee Engagement Hye Chong Yi (260446951) McGill University CORG 555, Winter 2011 Professor Sema Burney 3 March 2011 “em·ploy·ee (-noun): a person working for another person or a business firm for pay. en·gage (-verb): to occupy the attention or efforts of (a person or persons). en·gage·ment (-noun): the act of engaging or the state of being engaged.” -Dictionary.com (2011) Introduction Employee. Engagement. Separately, each word has a clear, concise definition. Their descriptions are easy to grasp. However, once you put the words together the concept of employee engagement is complex because there are many variations on its definitions and dynamics that contribute to engagement. “To date, there is no single and generally accepted definition for the term employee engagement (Markos & Sridevi, 2010, p.90).” The difficulty of pinpointing an exact definition lies in the fact that employee engagement does not have the same meaning for everyone (Blessing White, 2011). The goal of this paper is to provide a general discussion of its definition, history, current state, future trends, and close the discussion with a conclusion. Employee Engagement: Definition Generally speaking, employee engagement is the concept of an employee that is fully invested emotionally, intellectually, and socially into their work, company, and colleagues (Markos & Sridevi, 2010). “Engagement is about passion and commitment-the...

...Intellectual Property Valuatoin Techniques By Daryl Martin and David Drews- IPmetrics LLC Introducation Unlike many of the other assests found on a company’s balance sheet, the intangible assets, such as patents, trademarks and copyrights, are among the most difficult to quantify in terams of their value. It becomes further complicated to ascertain value when contemplating more obscure intangible assets, such as trade dress, trade sectets or software code. While difficult, the value of these assests can be accurately calculated via a number of industry accepted methodologies. The key to a successful analysis is to develop a comprehensive plan of action. The initial point to determine when attempting to value intellectual propery or intangible assests is the rationale for undertaking the analysis in the first place. Why do you need to know the value of the assets? The most obvious situations are those in which a third party has an interest in the asset values. For example, the internal revenue service and othe tax authorities want a detailed understanding about the basis for any value determination used when allocating portions of the purchase price associated with ethe acquisition of other companies. This issue has become even more important with the recent issuance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 142, Goodwill and Other intangible Assets, which changed the accounting treatment of certain intangibles acquired through business combinations. Instead of a more-or-less...

...Chapter – 1 Introduction to Accounting Origin and history of Accounting can be traced back to some 10,000 years ago. The population in the area known as Mesopotamia, later Persia, and today the countries of Iran and Iraq had an active trading between towns and cities up and down the two rivers started the accounting concepts. At that time there were no letters or numbers. The merchants had to ship their merchandise up and down the rivers. They have to trust the boat man with their goods. There were a lot of disagreements about how much was shipped versus what was received at the other end between the merchants and the shippers. To deal such problem, merchants came up with small clay tokens, in various shapes and with various markings, to indicate different products, which would mean a basket of grain, another would mean a pot of oil, etc. They had over 200 such tokens to indicate a large variety of common goods, including food, leather, clothing, utensils, tools, jewelry, etc. Before shipping their goods, a merchant would take one token for each item in the shipment, and encase the tokens in a ball of clay, called a "bollae" (pronounced "bowl-eye") - meaning ball. The ball would be dried in the sun, given to the boatman, and then broken by the buyer on the other end of the transaction. The buyer would match the tokens with the items in the shipment, to verify that everything sent was accounted for. Early references to accounting concepts are found in the Vedas...
