... Here my objective is to choose between one and three of these solutions of a module and create a 2-3 page report on. A few of the questions that I will briefly but clearly explain are what do I think of the purpose of the tool represented? What do I think can be learned from these tools? In what situations do I think these too would be useful? How can or could I apply these tools in my organization, career, or personal life? And last but not least my overall evaluation of the tools mentioned? Purpose The purpose of the SAP business object is for the NCIS is to have the opportunity to track all criminal activity in real time, identify crime trends, and allocate resources effectively. NCIS also uses this software to report to the U.S. Congress and justify funding. The next question asked was what I learned from these tools? A few of the items that I learned that I thought could not be possible was how amazing how this tool provided NCIS the opportunity to become proactive. NCIS went from solving crimes to actually preventing, investigating and solving them before they actually happen. The other question that I was asked to discuss was how I think that this tool would be useful. According to Ofelia Perotti, who is a analytical cell division chief at NCIS. She states within this article that “Congress allocates funds specifically for different functions. For example if certain...

...Black & Decker had always been a market leader in the power tools industry. Many changes took place that helped out in the company in the short run, but hurt in the long run. In 2000 Black and Decker Corporation was still reeling from the financial and strategic problems stemming from the company's acquisition of Emhart Corporation in 1989. In late 1998 Black & Decker management celebrated the completion of an almost decade-long effort to divest nonstrategic business gained through its 1989 acquisition of Emhart Corporation and expected the company to enter a long-awaited period of growth as its entire management refocused its attention on its core power tools, plumbing, and security hardware business. Archibald believed that "This portfolio restructuring will allow us to focus on core operations that can deliver dependable and superior operating and financial results." However the portfolio restructuring did little to improve the market performance of the company's securities. Yet Archibald and the management continued to express confidence that the company's streamline portfolio would allow Black & Decker to achieve revenue and earnings growth that the market would find impressive. So far the 1998 divestitures have not produced steady increases in the company's stock price, but look promising for the future due to the efforts to refocus efforts on the successful power tools line. Strategic planning team evaluation Over the years, Black & Decker has branched off into...

...October 1, 2013 Binford Tools Inc. 1234 Annapolis Dr. Plumville Pa, 65790 Dear Binford Tools, Lee Valley Tools would first like to thank you for your recent submission of your new midrange hand plane to be sold through its retail stores, website, and catalogs. It can see that you have put great thought and time into manufacturing a fine wood-working instrument. With that said, on behalf of Lee Valley, I regretfully am writing to inform you that it will not be accepting your tool into the family of Lee Valley woodworking tools. While your tool is a fine specimen, it does not meet the criteria Lee Valley has put in place to keep it at the top of the industry. The evaluation criteria are as follows: • Quality of Materials • Precision Manufacturing • Innovative Designs • Cost Quality of Materials: After extensive testing of your product, testers have noticed flaws that could lead to it wearing down quicker then they’d like to see. The steel used for the planer is lacking the durability needed to hold up to the constant use by our customers. The edge must hold its sharpness for much longer than what is being seen through testing. Precision Manufacturing: With the use of lower grade steel, the testers see that thinner irons were used which create more vibrations when pulled across the wood surface. These vibrations affect the quality of finish, which from our products, needs to be of the highest quality. Innovative Design: Lee Valley takes pride in upholding...

...Hamilton Power Tools marketed industrial products by catering to constructional and industrial tool market. Their construction product lines included power trowels, power trowels, concrete vibrators, generators and power driven tools.

Mr. Campagna also wanted to get a flavour of language people use in talking about chain saw. Analysis of method: The research was conducted in states of Illionois and Wisconsin. People who were selected for TAT were screened on basis of whether they planned to purchase...

Lopez-Rivera Personal Responsibility as a Development Tool In the society, the persons require a high degree of personal responsibility to be considered as a successful person in life. If they want to be successful must take responsibility as a habit necessary to create, without it, they are predetermined to fail. As Tracy says in his study: The more responsibility you take, the more in control you are. And the freer you are, especially in your own mind, to make decisions and to do the things you want to do. So there’s a direct relationship between responsibility, control, freedom and happiness. The happiest people in the world are those who feel absolutely terrific about themselves, and this is the natural outgrowth of accepting total responsibility for every part of their lives (p. 1). What is Personal Responsibility? Personal responsibility is the ability to determine one’s own decisions, choices, and actions (What is personal responsibility?, 2012). Are those actions that help us improve our quality of life, our relationship with people and the environment around us. Complying with the rules imposed by our society and enforces them through the rest of it. Responsibility is not a burden, it's a blessing (Gallozzi, 2012) How we acquired it?

...of his senior management team unhappy. • The question at hand was whether Pinnacle Co., the small, publicly held Indiana-based machine tool company he led as CEO, should attempt to acquire Hoilman Inc. Hoilman was a company known for the cutting-edge sensor technology and communications software it had developed to monitor robotics equipment. Anglos had just heard a credible rumour that one of Pinnacle’s chief competitors was planning a hostile takeover of the company. Coincidentally, Don Anglos knew Hoilman well because he had recently held exploratory talks about the possibility of a joint venture designed to develop similar technology capable of monitoring a broad range of manufacturing equipment. The joint venture did not work out. But now, by acquiring Hoilman, Pinnacle could develop software that transmitted real-time information on its customers’ equipment, enabling it to set itself apart by providing top-notch service far more sophisticated than its current standard maintenance and service contracts. • Don, a hard-charging 48-year-old, firmly believed that bigger was better. It was a premise that had served his Greek immigrant father well as he built a multi-million-dollar business from nothing by acquiring one commercial laundry after another. The CEO had to admit, though, that getting bigger in the machine tool industry, currently a slow-growing sector facing increasing competition from low-priced foreign manufacturers, was going to be a challenge...
