...The National Bank was founded and established by Alexander Hamilton. The National Bank helped fund the public debt that was left from the American Revolution. The bank was capitalized at $10 million, with $8 million coming from private sources and $2 million coming from the government. The bank then had the right to issue notes or currency up to $10 million. The notes would be suitable for payment of taxes, a feature that would provide the Bank with a strong advantage over its competitors. The bank had a great resource on its side. It had the governments help. With the governments help, the National Bank was able to provide a lot of help including a ready source of loans, a principal depository for federal monies that were transferable from city to city without charge, and a clearing agent for payments on the national debt. With the bank being so successful, it allowed entrepreneurs the resources they needed to become successful. They were able to go borrow the money needed for research to make their business become successful. They were also able to go get money for business supplies that were needed. Having the National Bank helped entrepreneurs set forward and start their businesses. Without the National Bank, entrepreneurs wouldn’t have the funds available to become successful and start their businesses. In today’s world, it can be hard to get a loan.

...What are the human resource issues facing the vice president's department and under which of the HR domains (e.g. Organizational Design, Staffing, Performance Management an Appraisal) does each issue belong? Identify some strategies for dealing with these issues. There are four employees under Suzanne Roberts (Vice President of Accounting at Valley National Bank); Bob Phillips, Carla Goodman, Greg Williams, and Kathy Lewis. Some of the issues facing the vice president’s department are: Staffing, Performance Management, and Appraisal. Bob Phillips came to Valley National Bank to manage through a merger. He managed/supervised only two people in his previous position and he lacked organizational and planning skills. He also has weak interpersonal skills which had created hard feelings among employees in the department. In regards to performance management, performance reviews are late up to six months and employee morale is low and attitudes toward the company have hardened. In regards to staffing, good people quit the bank and/or transferred to other departments and the replacements for those employees were done poorly in the way that the first person who walked in for an interview was hired (which means unqualified people were more than likely hired or a more qualified person did not have the opportunity to interview). Bob is very good at solving financial and accounting problems and he has an extensive knowledge of all major software programs. Another problem is Carla Goodman...

(Total indirect costs/total value of checks processed) $2,850,000/$95,000,000= $0.03 per dollar processed. b) (i) Retail Line—(Value of checks processed X cost per dollar processed) $9,500,000 X $0.03= $285,000 (ii) Business Line $85,500,000 X $0.03= $2,565,000 The allocations are driven by the dollar value of the checks processed. c) (i) Total indirect cost proportion for Retail Line (Allocation amount/Est. MOH) $285,000/$2,850,000= 10% (ii) Total indirect cost proportion for Business line $2,565,000/$2,850,000= 90% The original system assumed that indirect costs are incurred in direct proportion to the dollar value of the checks processed. This allocation is approximately accurate only if the indirect costs in Exhibit B are incurred in direct proportion to the dollar value of the checks each customer line writes. d) (i) Annual indirect cost per Retail account. (Allocated indirect costs/number of accounts) $285,000/150,000= $1.90 per account (ii) Annual indirect cost per Business account $2,565,000/50,000= $51.30 per account e) (i) Contribution to profit per Retail account (Revenue per account minus cost per account) $10.00 - $1.90= $8.10 (ii) Contribution to profit per Business account $40.00 - $51.30= ($11.30) This suggests Buckeye National Bank should pursue a strategy that increases the retail-customer base because the original cost system shows retail customers are profitable, but business customers...

Bu çalışanlar kıdemli çalışanlar olduğu için değişimi reddetmektedir. Bu kişileri ikna etmek de süreçten sorumlu başkan ve başkan yardımcısına düşmektedir. 2) Çalışanların proje yöneticisi olmak istememesinin başlıca sebepleri: - Çalışan kişilerin alanlarında uzman kişiler olması ve bu kişiler uzun zamandır aynı bölümde çalıştıkları için ve işlerinden memnun oldukları için kariyerlerinde değişiklik yapmak istememeleri - Çalışanların, proje yöneticisi olduklarında, daha üst seviye yönetimle aralarındaki iletişimin kopacağını düşünmeleri - Çalışanların proje yöneticisi olduğunda başarısız olmalarından korkmaları - Çalışanların, proje yöneticisi özelliklerinin, kendi kişisel özelliklerine uygun olmadığını düşünmeleri - Çalışanların sistem değişikliğini sevmemeleri 3) İlk grup proje yöneticileri, şirket içindeki çalışanlardan seçilmelidir.

...businesses continue to grow in importance to the national economy. According to the Small Business Administration, America’s 22 million small businesses generate more than half of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product and are the principal source of new jobs. The National Foundation for Women Business Owners reported that between 1987 and 1994, the number of women-owned businesses grew by 78% and women-owned firms accounted for 36% of all firms. Although the growth in the number of women-owned businesses is encouraging, the size of such businesses remains small in terms of both revenues and number of employees, especially in comparison to male-owned businesses. One explanation for this disparity is that female business ownership is concentrated primarily in the retail and service industries where businesses are relatively smaller in terms of employment and revenue as opposed to high technology, construction, and manufacturing. One of the most fruitful streams of research in women’s occupational choice has been based on EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Address correspondence to Alexandra L.

...government to develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow's Internet.” (https://www.wpi.edu/.../Internet2/about.html) Over the years and as the Internet gained popularity, universities were the first organizations to recognize the limitations of bandwidth as it relates to data transfer rates and the need to share information and collaborate with other research institutes, universities, and colleagues. The need to support high performance applications and share information lead to the creation of the vBNS or very-high-performance Backbone Network Service in 1995 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet2). With a consortium of various investors and partnerships including the National Science Foundation, MCI, Qwest, Level3, and 30+ universities, Internet2 was formed. Through this consortium “Internet2 provides the U.S. research and education community with a network that satisfies their bandwidth-intensive requirements. The network itself is a dynamic, robust and cost-effective hybrid optical and packet network. It furnishes a 100 Gbit/s network backbone to more than 210 U.S. educational institutions, 70 corporations and 45 non-profit and government agencies.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet2) Their goals include creating and maintaining a leading-edge network, exploiting broadband capabilities through new-generation applications, and new network services for all levels of educational use, with hopes to...
