...The Role of Transport Management Systems in Logistical Efficiency Name: William Date: 19/11/2013 The Role of Transport Management Systems in Logistical Efficiency Over the years the importance of logistical operations has grown to cover virtually all operations associated with supply chain management for any typical organization. In addition, the use of information and communication (ICT) systems is quickly gaining popularity with any organization which aims at improving its productivity and service delivery. Consequently, logistical functions and specifically transportation management systems (TMSs) are consistently under strain to demonstrate significant contribution towards accomplishment of organizational objectives (Vanselous, 2013). Furthermore, with the current digitization of organizational operations, TMSs as well as corresponding logistical systems are quickly becoming the norm for organizational logistical efficiency. In this regard, in order to thoroughly understand the role of TMSs it is imperative to conduct further investigations on their impact on overall logistical efficiency. In order to understand the role of transportation management systems, first, it is important to understand the difference between logistical efficiency and logistical effectiveness. According to Fugate, Mentzer and Stank (2010), logistical efficiency refers to organizational processes that involve the actual movement of products and services from one location to another within...

...1.0 INTRODUCTION Payroll consists of the process by which a business pays its employees for work performed during a specific period. A payroll system allows businesses to follow a set series of processes in order to make timely, correct payments in compliance with government regulations. A payroll system may be manual or computerized and handled in-house or outsourced to another provider. 2.1 OBJECTIVES A payroll system should be geared toward paying employees what they earn within a reasonable time frame and accurately tracking paycheck amounts as well as tax and benefit withholdings. Payroll systems should be thorough without being overly complex and cumbersome, and they should be designed thoughtfully enough to work well with a minimum of oversight. Having a well-designed payroll system is in the best interest of employees, business owners and human resources staff. 2.2 Scope And Limitation Accuracy Accuracy is an important objective of a payroll system, because employees are entitled to be fairly compensated for the work they have done, and a company's financial well-being depends on not overpaying employees for the time they have worked. In addition, businesses are liable for payroll taxes on employee earnings as well as remitting payroll taxes that have been withheld from employee paychecks. Consistency A payroll system has many components, and the information in each section should be internally consistent. An employee's weekly wages over the...

...illustrated by how the societal push towards a more environmentally aware culture forced new regulations and standards such as ISO 14001 (International Organization For Standards, 2010) to be established to reflect this perceptional change, which in turn indirectly created compulsory costs for a company pertaining to the promotion of environmental sustainability. Companies are now obligated to offset their pollution levels and any harmful bearings their corporate activities cause to the environment, as well as allocating some of their resources towards environmentally conscious activities such as recycling and waste management systems. Additionally, they must produce environmental reports disclosing all this information, creating further costs (Langfield-Smith et al. 2009). All these factors subsequently resulted in the development of Environmental Management Information Software/Systems, which are...

In 2001, there were 8,786 job-related fatal injuries (5,900 not counting the fatalities caused by the terrorist attacks of September 11), or about 3.7 fatal injuries per 100,000 workers. Workers made 2.1 million trips to the emergency room for injuries sustained from accidents at work (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2004). Workers’ compensation insurance, which covers all medical expenses and part of lost wages associated with injuries, cost employers $63.9 billion in 2001 (Williams, Reno, and Burton 2003). The...

...How Europeans View Americans: Whether or not I agree with the author is based on my beliefs and experience with different economic factors. Although this article is opinionated of how the author shares different experiences from different Europeans frames (points of view) of the American society, we should all note that this is not the consensus for all Europeans. In reference to the matters that persuaded the United States to utilized their military might (September 11 2001), are only the actions of the current administered, which resulted in a ripple effect that cast judgment on all the American population. Although determined, the Bush administration left their allies on the sideline; where they felt obligated to respond and defend the homeland, which clearly displayed one difference in the U.S. and European view of security. In the summer of 2002 in an article Policy Review by Robert Kagan, he stated, “ It is time to stop pretending that Europeans and Americans share a common view of the world, or even that they occupy the same world” (Gordon, P. H, 2003). Cultures and generations have enforced and reinforced the values and belief systems that either population (American and European) have passed down from generation to generation to their children. Although Robert Kagan shared his views in the article, it is safe to say his perceived structure is not destiny, but should not be ignored. (Gordon, P.H. 2003). Apart from many other differences, which differentiate the...

However, since the 1970's Manzana has been facing troubles from intense competition from the Golden Gate Casualty, as well as problems from an inefficient operating procedure leading to late issuance of policies, customer dissatisfaction, and defection of agents to other firms. Situational Analysis Recent complaints from agents about the turnaround time, percentage late figure and the poorly performing renewal business iterate the below average performance of the Fruitvale branch of Manzana. The following points were presented in the case. ? Around 76 independent agents represent Manzana at Fruitvale and dealt directly with the public. There was a difference in the commissions each agent received according to the policy request. ?

...available information. The semi-strong form of the EMH claims both that prices reflect all publicly available information and that prices instantly change to reflect new public information. The strong form of the EMH additionally claims that prices instantly reflect even hidden or "insider" information. Critics have blamed the belief in rational markets for much of the late-2000s financial crisis.[1][2][3] In response, proponents of the hypothesis have stated that market efficiency does not mean having no uncertainty about the future, that market efficiency is a simplification of the world which may not always hold true, and that the market is practically efficient for investment purposes for most individuals.[4] In political science and economics, the principal–agent problem or agency dilemma concerns the difficulties in motivating one party (the "agent"), to act in the best interests of another (the "principal") rather than in his own interests. Common examples of this relationship include corporate management (agent) and shareholders (principal), or politicians (agent) and voters (principal).[1] For another example, consider a dental patient (the principal) wondering whether his dentist (the agent) is recommending expensive treatment because it is truly necessary for the patient's dental health, or because it...

From Civil engineer to liberal, and then to economist[edit[->5]] For some years after graduation, he worked as a civil engineer[->6], first for the state-owned Italian Railway Company and later in private industry. He was manager of the Iron Works of San Giovanni Valdarno and later general manager of Italian Iron Works.[3] He did not begin serious work in economics until his mid-forties. He started his career a fiery liberal[->7], besting the most ardent British liberals with his attacks on any form of government intervention in the free market[->8]. In 1886 he became a lecturer on economics and management[->9] at the University of Florence[->10]. His stay in Florence[->11] was marked by political activity, much of it fueled by his own frustrations with government regulators. In 1889, after the death of his parents, Pareto changed his lifestyle, quitting his job and marrying a Russian, Alessandrina Bakunin. She left him in 1902 for a young servant....

...others. • Econometric estimation techniques should allow for the fact that deviations of observed choices from optimal ones are due to two factors: failure to optimize i.e., inefficiency due to random shocks • Stochastic Frontier Analysis or SFA is one such technique to model producer behavior. 2 USEFULNESS OF SFA • SFA produces efficiency estimates or efficiency scores of individual producers. Thus one can identify those who need intervention and corrective measures. Since efficiency scores vary across producers, they can be related to producer characteristics like size, ownership, location, etc. Thus one can identify source of inefficiency. SFA provides a powerful tool for examining effects of intervention. For example, has efficiency of the banks changed after deregulation? Has this change varied across ownership groups? • • 3 STRUCTURE OF THIS PRESENTATION • Part 1: Theory: Illustrate the basics of SFA mainly with analysis of cost efficiency.

We have adopted a strategy to minimize the notational burden within each individual chapter at the cost of being, at times, inconsistent in our use of symbols across chapters. We list here a set of symbols regularly used with their specific meaning. At times, however, we have found it more practical to use some of the listed symbols to represent a different concept. In other instances, clarity required making the symbolic representation more precise (e.g., by being more specific as to the time dimension of an interest rate).

...On 5th January 1914 the Ford Motor company announced that it would more than double the wages of its workers. Briefly describe the history of this decision and relate to the theory of incentives and efficiency wages. When Henry Ford introduced the five-dollar day on the 12th of January 1914, many of his competitors might have questioned the success of this policy. Today, it is well established that Ford’s strategy was a key reason for the company’s early success and is often documented as an exemplary application of the efficiency-wage theory. This essay will briefly outline the history and implications that have led to the five-dollar day and relate it to the theory of incentives and efficiency wages. Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company in 1903. During the first few years the company remained relatively small and it was only with the introduction of the T-Model in 1908 and the transformation to assembly line production that Ford could expand his market share and increase the company’s profitability. However, as Raff and Summers noted, assembly line production resulted in a high degree of specialisation of the different production steps. Work at Ford’s became more and more menial, leading to dissatisfaction among the workforce, which reflected in a significant annual turnover of 370% in 1913. Although there was no evidence that Ford had problems filling his vacancies, the absenteeism and high turnover undoubtedly resulted in costs that Ford had aimed to reduce. It...
