...I currently work for an organization that is facing an issue of delegating responsibilities to employees and rewarding employees for the heightened responsibilities they are given. This issue causes confusion as far as job responsibilities, weakens the chain of command, lessens the effectiveness of checks and balances, and makes it difficult to execute tasks. This issue is preventable, and when solved would help the organization to run smoother. Company description I work for a small rural health clinic in North East Florida. We are constantly looking for ways to branch out to reach underserved populations. Since it’s founding my organization has grown to include locations in the four surrounding counties. We operate nine full time primary care centers, two full time dental centers, and seven full time pharmacies. We are a major employer in the area and employ an estimated 200 employees.

...Case Study 3: Setting tuition and financial aid Instructor: Patricia Wiseman Managerial Economics MBA-540-MB01 Saint Leo University Sushma Madhavaram Summary: Prices are the variable property which can increase or decrease the desire of purchasing the commodity which in simple terms referred as demand. For most of the commodities if prices soar high then people purchase less good hence reducing demand in the same way if supply increases prices go down increasing demand. This basic principle is the basis for the ‘law “of demand which can be described as quantity demand plummets as prices go upward, other variable factors constant. To understand the demand and price relation economists refer demand as schedule of quantities of commodity people want to buy at various prices, other factors constant (Colander, Rockerbie, & Richter, 2006, p.73). Whereas quantity demand is referred as demand of goods at certain price in the demand curve. Ursinus College in Pennsylvania in the year 2000 increased their tuition fee 17.6% to $23,460 in order to increase college revenue and funds to support financial aid which also in turn increased their admissions (Brickley, Smith, & Zimmerman, 2009, p.110). The conjecture of college president is increase in demand is against the law of the demand because of college going student’s snob mentality and their comparison of quality with respect to price. He speculated student’s presumption of costly colleges will have better quality education...

...Lawrence Sports Problem Solution University of Phoenix MBA-550 January 19, 2008 Liquidity must become a primary focus for any business hoping to create sustainable growth. Lawrence Sports, a fictional company, is presently in need of capital management analysis and methodology overhaul. Included in this paper is a discussion of the issues, opportunities, values and solutions that the firm should be considering. The 9 step problem solution model is the format used to take the reader through critical identification, evaluation and implementation of elements that will transform a problem into new growth opportunity. Lawrence Sports is a $20 million dollar revenue company that assembles and distributes sporting goods. The focus of the scenario is to provide the opportunity for the student to develop solutions to trade off issues, thus establishing stability for the firm. Mayo, who is a retailer responsible for 95% of sales, is hindering Lawrence from paying raw materials suppliers. Unfortunately, this cash positioning problem is direct result of the Lawrence credit policy and the Mayo request to delay payment until the week of April 14-20. Borrowing money to deal with supplier payables is not an option, due to the $1.2 million dollar maximized bank limit. Therefore, this paper will strategize from the perspective of a financial manager who will turn a working capital problem into the chance to design a new credit policy, implement cash management models and introduce...

...-1- Anatomy of a Credit Crisis 2009-07-24 This timeline has grown and been amended since it first appeared in the December, 2008, issue of The Australian Journal of Management, as the editorial, under the title of “The Dominoes Fall: a timeline of the squeeze and crunch”. I include below the December preamble. The version of mid-May, 2009, will appear as the editorial of the June 2009 issue of the AJM, under the title “Anatomy of a Credit Crisis.” I include below the June preamble, in which I assay a framework for understanding the genesis of the crisis. December, 2008: IN ITS LEADER of October 13, 2008, the Financial Times characterized the western world’s banking system as suffering “the equivalent of a cardiac arrest.” The collapse of confidence in the system means that “it is now virtually impossible for any institution to finance itself in the markets longer than overnight.” This occurred less than a month after Lehman Brothers (LB) collapsed, without bailout. Six months earlier Bear Stearns (BS) had been bailed out after JP Morgan Chase (JPM Chase) had bought it for $10 a share, at the regulator’s urging. After LB fell, who would be next? And if LB, who was not at risk? Despite the earlier U.S. government bailouts of the erstwhile government mortgage originators (and still seen as government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and the later bailout of the...

...Running Head: Financing Alternatives Lester Electronics Financing Alternative Benchmarking for Bernard Lester University of Phoenix MBA – 540 Introduction In this paper will compare and contrast issues that various companies had experienced in past mergers to the issues presented in the Lester Electronic Scenario. The companies benchmarked are Disney-Pixar, Lucent-Alcatel, Monaco Coach Corporation, SMC Corporation, Infosmart-Cyber Merchants, Fidelity Bank of Nassau, Royal Bank of Canada, and AT&T. One of the issues presented in the scenario is that LEI was preparing to conduct a joint venture with Shang-wa when Transnational Electronics made an offer to acquire Shang-wa. The main issue is that if Shang-wa is acquired by TEC, the joint venture between Shang-wa and LEI will not be possible. LEI intends to remain as the company of choice but this might not be possible if TEC acquires Shang-wa. Some of the concepts that Team A will evaluate considering the LEI scenario issues are: capital management strategies to maximize shareholder wealth, economic exposure, the challenges of cross-border growth strategies, working capital management, and internal and external growth strategies, and cultural barriers, while identify the best financing alternative for the merger. Companies Benchmarked Alcatel-Lucent – Yolanda Smothers Alcatel-Lucent provides telecommunications...
