...BIMS Case Study Ballard Integrated Managed Services, Inc. (BIMS) provides food and hospitality services on a contractual basis to patients and staff of corporations and institutions nationwide. Over the past several months, Barbara Tucker, the general manager at BIMS, has noticed an increase in the turnover rate of employees, but no new reasons are being given during exit interviews to justify that increase. In order to find the cause, Barbara gives all employees a survey to complete and return. Instrument used for Data Collected In this data set, Debbie used a number scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being very negative and 5 being very positive. This will help to gain a census of the problems involving the employee's. Provides the reason for the changes of the turnover rate or loss of employees and morale or happy workers. In this data set it will show the positive and negative effects of the workplace environment and hours worked, efficiency of training, degree of pay, equality of treatment, inner office communication and job protection.

...Summary: The Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) had a very strong value based- culture. Every decision and every action an employee made must be aligned with the company’s values. Fred Fetterolf the president of the company in 1985, decided the company needed to document the values that all employees must live by: Integrity; Environment, Health and Safety; Customer; Accountability; Excellence; People; and Profitability. Alcoa had implemented a global ethics and compliance program, and the focus on health and safety was interwoven through the company’s program. This program included all the basic elements specified in the U.S Federal Sentencing Guidelines and Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The company made it clear that the program’s tools must be understandable by all employees, must support the company’s strong value system, and must be continually reinforced by management. A normal Alcoa day started out all business meetings with an identification of exits, the evacuation plans in the event of an emergency, and other safety procedures. However, some safety procedures differed among Alcoa’s various business, corporate headquarters required all of its units to meet the same overall goal: zero work-related injuries and illnesses. Alcoa’s management team supported the ethical principal that no employees should leave work in a worse condition than when they arrived. In 1996, one of Alcoa’s Mexican facilities had deteriorated, allegations coming from activist shareholders at the annual meeting...

...Entry/Exit Demand Analysis [ to cite ]: Peter R. Dickson and Alan G. Sawyer (1984) ,"Entry/Exit Demand Analysis", in NA - Advances in Consumer Research Volume 11, eds. Thomas C. Kinnear, Provo, UT : Association for Consumer Research, Pages: 617-622. Advances in Consumer Research Volume 11, 1984 ENTRY/EXIT DEMAND ANALYSIS Peter R. Dickson, The Ohio State University Alan G. Sawyer, The Ohio State University ABSTRACT Past methods of measuring consumer response to the price of a branded good are reviewed and critiqued. A new approach- Entry/Exit Demand Analysis--is described. The method borrows from and improves past methods. Some initial evidence about the technique's test-retest reliability is presented. INTRODUCTION One of the most troublesome problems that confronts management is estimating the responsiveness of demand to changes in price. In the past, experienced managers may have been able to intuitively assess price elasticity based on a history of strategic price increases and decreases. However, over the last decade, many of the street-wise managers may have lost their touch because consumer demand has become much more volatile. Inflation, recession and cultural trends are three factors that have made the tracking of demand curves and price elasticity an even more elusive exercise. Inflation has changed the real purchasing power of the dollar and consequently required consumers to frequently change their reactions to price. Consumers have to adjust to both changes in...

...Tower Company RCFA M&A Case Competition Prepared for:CPP Investment Board Prepared by: SiLu Liu Michael Shang Wenda Yang Yixun(James) Zhang Executive Summary After in-depth financial analyses and qualitative considerations, we recommend CPPIB-Private Board proceed with the competitive auction of Swedish Tower Company (STC), a Swedish owner of television and mobile telecommunication towers. In particular, we identified a leveraged buyout capital structure to be suitable given STC’s proven earning growth and strong market position, along with significant opportunity for cost reduction. We conducted financial valuation using market comparison method. The purchase price is between 2,653 million and 3,243 million. The IRR of the project is 28% when exiting by the end of 5th year. Overall this project will generate steady growth with great upside potential and low company-wide or industry-wide risks. We will dive into the details of analyses in the sections followed. Method and Valuation Drivers Primarily, we used transaction multiple method of valuation. Given the very nature of LBO, these additional drivers need to be carefully considered when valuing equity return: 1. Purchase Price and exit price will directly affect the return generated. Exit price is calculated using exit multiple. A higher exit multiple will increase estimation for selling price and thus the underlying equity value. 2. Leverage Ratio: A higher leverage ratio will lead to higher return...

...the management aware so that they can be committed to the safety of their employees and also to set expectations regarding what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. Also, as employees they must do their parts in properly reporting the violent incidents to management. The security team will provide the employee with the incident report form or reporting tool. This form can also be used by external sources such as, police if they need to do a follow on the situation. The documentation will provide factual detail of what happen if the person is prosecuted or for other legal reasons. Mandatory reporting is required by some facilities, and that include incidents against visitors, patients and co-workers. Zero tolerance policy will accompany mandatory reporting. Zero-tolerance is a violence prevention method in which there is absolutely no tolerance for inappropriate behaviors and activities. The policy also implies that those who participate in or fail to report incidents will be reprimanded (Perry, 2000, p. 60). Managers will have to make sure...

...Chapter 2 Galileo’s Great Discovery: How Things Fall Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), the famous Italian mathematician at the leading edge of the scientific revolution that was to sweep Europe, was curious about motion. He was an experimentalist who for the first time had the insight and talent to link theory with experiment. He rolled balls down an inclined plane in order to see how things fell toward the Earth. He discovered in this way that objects of any weight fell toward the Earth at the same rate – that they had a uniform acceleration. He surmised that if they fell in a vacuum, where there was no air resistance to slow some objects more than others, even a feather and a cannon ball would descend at the same rate and reach the ground at the same time. He also explored the motion of pendulums and other phenomena. He is perhaps most famous for his 1610 telescopic discoveries of the moving moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, and the craters of the moon, all of which convinced him, against the ages-old wisdom of Aristotle and of the Catholic Church, of the rightness of the Copernican heliocentric view of the solar system. In his investigations of motion, Galileo was the first clearly to understand that the forces acting upon objects could be broken into independent components; that a thrown stone had a force pulling it down as well as the force throwing it horizontally outward. These insights would be of great use to Isaac Newton, born the year Galileo died, in devising the...

...Monopolistic competition: An evolutionary approach EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This term paper shows that a monopolistically competitive equilibrium can evolve without purposive profit maximization. Firms exit the industry if they fail to pass the survival test of making nonnegative wealth. Industry converges in probability to the monopolistically competitive equilibrium as the size of each firm becomes small relative to the market, as the entry cost becomes sufficiently small, and as time gets sufficiently large. Consequently, in the limit, the only surviving firms are those producing at the tangency of the demand curve to the average cost curve and no potential entrant can make a positive profit by entry. Introduction The criterion by which the economic system selects survivors: those who realize profits are the survivors; those who suffer losses disappear. In the late 1920s and early 1930s it became apparent that there were severe limitations in conducting economic analysis using a framework of either pure competition or pure monopoly. Consequently, economists began shifting their attention to middle ground between monopoly and perfect competition. One of the most notable achievements was Chamberlin’s, 1933 blending of elements of perfect competition and pure monopoly in a notion of ‘‘large group’’ monopolistic competition where there are many competing firms producing similar but different commodities which are not perfect substitutes. Because of the product...

...Conscious Capitalism: A Reader’s Reflection In their collaboration, Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business, both John Mackey and Raj Sisodia outline and discuss the problems plaguing sizeable business, while sharing their own knowledge and experiences. Throughout, they also continuously encourage socially responsible values in all business organizations. Citing decentralization and stakeholder empowerment, Mackey and Sisodia argue that mans’ inherent goodwill can not only sustain capitalism, but grow with it. The authors formulate their contentions into four models, also known as ‘Tenets,’ which are interconnected, yet interdependent: Higher Purpose; Stakeholder Integration; Conscious Leadership; and, Conscious Culture and Management. The first tenant, Higher Purpose, focuses on searching for meaning, and nurturing the business’ guiding principles. Its purpose is to guide stakeholders with clarity and conviction, but only if the value is simple and clearly defined. Though the authors note ‘purpose, mission, and vision’, they further clarify the distinctions by citing Jerry Porra, quoted in Lan Liu’s Conversation on Leadership: Wisdom from Global Management Gurus: Purpose refers to the difference you are trying to make in the world, mission is the core strategy that must be undertaken to fulfill that purpose, and vision is a vivid, imaginative conception or view of how the world will look once your purpose had been largely realized (47).
