...nearly 20 years working in B2B outsourcing. During this time, Mike has been involved in many engagements which required analysis, recommendations, implementation including mail, copy and print-shop redesign, build outs, consolidations and metrics tracking of implemented outsourced client operations. In charting our course for the development of our Professional Paper; “Trends in University Outsourcing”, we found the dramatic changes and pressures that exist today in education require significant resources and greater core focus to achieve University overall objectives. The dynamics of the education system have changed significantly and there are far greater challenges that are no longer just national but global in scope. Extrapolated from A Report of the Commission Appointed by Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings, Pre-Publication Copy September 2006, titled; A test of leadership charting the future of US higher education, provided the following insights on some of the challenges which require the consumption of significant resources and consequently a need to focus on your core business: 1) Where once the United States led the world in educational attainment, recent data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development indicate that our nation is now ranked 12th among major industrialized countries in higher education attainment. Another half dozen countries are close on our heels. And these global pressures come at a time when data from the U.S. Department of...

Learners will use their knowledge of relevant human resources management theory and link it with current human resource management practices in organisations. Unit introduction Human resource management is a dynamic activity in any organisation as it takes place against a changing economic, technical, legal and social background. It is important for learners to appreciate that effective human resource management means getting the best out of the people who work for an organisation in order to ensure the organisation fulfils its purposes, whether it is a football club winning the premiership, or a hospital increasing the success rates for medical operations. Many organisations say that their employees are their most valuable resource because of their skills, knowledge and attitudes. As labour is both an expensive and valuable resource, it is important to ensure it is planned and that the best value is obtained from employees contributions. Human resource managers have to plan their human resource requirements against a background of internal and external factors which are dynamic and constantly changing. The first part of this unit introduces learners to the factors that influence human...

...Accounting and finance degrees: is the academic performance of placement students better? Abstract The relationship between placement and academic performance on accounting and finance degrees is significantly under-researched. This paper examines the relationship between a number of factors, including placement, and academic performance as measured by average marks. Readily available data on placement status, gender and prior achievement for the academic years ended 2004, 2005 and 2006 for an accounting and finance degree were used. Linear regression models were constructed using two versions of the data – one with all students in it and the second with graduates only. Placement students perform significantly better than full-time students and, in the Graduates model, it is the female placement students who perform significantly better than their male counterparts. Most recent prior academic performance is significant in all models whereas gender had no separate significant effect on performance in the second and final years of the degree. The paper concludes with suggestions for further research into placement. Keywords: academic performance, placement, gender, work-based learning Introduction There is a considerable body of UK and overseas research investigating the influence of particular factors on academic performance. Factors such as gender, prior academic achievement and course type have been examined over a wide range of degree courses (see for example Morrison et...

...Running head: PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT INTERVIEW Parental Involvement Interview Roseann Mazik Grand Canyon University Parental Involvement Interview Parental involvement includes a wide range of behaviors but generally refers to parents' and family members' use and investment of resources in their children's schooling. These investments can take place in or outside of school, with the intention of improving children's learning. Parental involvement at home can include activities such as discussions about school, helping with homework, and reading with children. Involvement at school may include parents volunteering in the classroom, attending workshops, or attending school plays and sporting events. Parental involvement is linked to lower dropout and truancy rates. School, family and community involvement create a positive influence in the lives of children. And the child’s educational development is enhanced when these three environments work collaboratively toward positive goals (Answers.com). Parental involvement includes child interactions that communicate positive behaviors about school and the importance of education. Cognitive involvement promotes the child’s skill development such as reading books. Parents must build a relationship with their child’s teacher founded on mutual respect, trust and understanding. By doing do they are ensuring that their child’s educational and emotional needs are met (McCarthy). This is especially true when a...

Assessments are made by an individual casemanager and then discussed as a team if the issues of the case become to difficult for the individual CM. 2. Is it important to know the clients past? If it is to what extent and details should be known? Yes, it is always necessary to have some access of the clients past history in order to get the full story of where they are currently. 3. Where does the reassessment information need to go, and what information needs to be obtained? The information is placed on a form in the clients chart, be reassessed at a later date. I worked for a hospital as a casemanager, so the info needed would be, support systems at home, medical diagnosis, prior medical history, short and long term plan for the pt. 4. What kinds of lines or boundries are in place for client meetings? Well, they are really no official boundary lines, you just have to use tact and best judgment when asking discreet question. 5.

Most of the relationships you have with the pts are superficial and short term. Your goal as a CM in the hospital is to have the client hospital stay to remain as short as possible to save the...

...FORENSIC ACCOUNTING SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP VALUING A BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANY DAVID RANDERSON ACUITY TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT PTY LTD Melbourne, May 2001 1. Valuation Methodologies Techniques used for valuing intangible assets, of which intellectual property (IP) is one form, may be put into three main categories1: 1. Cost Based; 2. Market Based; and 3. Revenue Based. Biotechnology companies, because their main assets are generally IP, have values that are invariably determined by their intangible assets. The valuation of a mature company tends to follow a methodology that draws heavily on its historical income, either by performing a discounted cash flow of future earnings the confidence in which derives from past activity, or capitalisation of maintainable earnings. Another technique considers the orderly realisation of assets. As most biotechnology companies have no historical revenues and the tangible assets are not representative of a company’s real value, these methods are seldom applicable. Conceptually, the value of a company is the sum of its assets value. However, accounting practices allow companies to reflect only the tangible part of their assets. Obviously, high valuations of companies that are in negative cash flow and with minimal tangible assets is causing concern to the taxation office (as demonstrated by their stance on core technology valuations in R&D syndicates) and the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). 1 Reilly RF, Schweihs...

...CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Successful inventory management involves crating a purchasing plan that will ensure that items are available when they are needed but that neither too much nor too little is purchased and keeping track of existing inventory and its use. Two common inventory management strategies are the just -in-time method, where companies plan to receive items as they are need rather than maintaining high inventory levels, and materials requirement planning, which schedules material deliveries based on sales forecasts. An inventory valuation allows a company to provide a monetary value for items that make up their inventory. Inventories are usually the largest current asset of a business, and proper measurement of them is necessary to assure accurate financial statements. If inventory is not properly measured, expenses and revenues cannot be properly matched and a company could make poor business decisions. The two most widely used inventory accounting systems are the periodic and the perpetual. * Perpetual: The perpetual inventory system requires accounting records to show the amount of inventory on hand at all times. It maintains a separate account in the subsidiary ledger for each good in stock, and the account is updated each time a quantity is added or taken out. The perpetual system records revenue each time a sale is made. Determining the cost of goods sold requires taking inventory. The most commonly used inventory valuation methods...
