Current risks and issues of SEL Foreign exchange risk The sales in the U.S. market segment have been growing and accounted for 25% of total revenue. In addition, the recent contract with the Los Angeles studio is chosen to purchase some of the materials in California, which has exposed SEL to foreign exchange risk. This risk could be eliminated by using natural hedging with purchases from U.S. suppliers. It could be mitigated by using hedging strategies, such as swaps, forwards and options. Financial management issue As owners, I understand the importancy of developing new ideas and testing prototypes, which are considered to be part of SEL’s competitive advange. However, it is also crucial to focus on financial management and to engage on long-term strategies to emphasize on the going-concern. Contract pricing issue The three contracts accepted earlier this year suggest the current pricing scheme does not provide sufficient revenue to cover the relevent expenses. Project cost management is critical to serve as a basis...

...Evaluate a Business Intelligence initiative that has been undertaken within your organization or one potential application of Business Intelligence within your organization? I work in the cruise industry. I never really knew how much Business Intelligence was a science. Granted, I knew we have analysts and copious amounts of data, but I never truly gave it much thought. After studying BI, I have come to realize BI is an essential aspect of my organization’s success. From measuring productivity of different departments (such as revenue, event planning, individual & groups reservations, cruising power, our company website, shipboard management, etc…) to understanding travel partner and guests needs and staying ahead of the competition, we wouldn’t survive without BI metrics and applications. Because I work in the event planning division of my company, I am not familiar with the names or metrics used to evaluate important data, but I do know from experience and part of my job function, reports and data gathered are used to make judgments and decisions about new products and constant improvements for existing services we currently provide. Surveys are completed by our travel partners and guests, and even employees. We compile reports and present them to management electronically. Our research, experience, and use of different applications, along with our IT departments, helps management and executives determine which direction to move forward. Feedback from our travel...

...How Communication Flows through a Business Organization Prepared for Dr. Carrol Fall Term 2010 Date of Assignment December, 2010 Abstract There are two types of systems of communication in a business organization. Those systems are Internal and External communications. But the importance is quite distinctive. In Internal communications, your emphasis is in presenting and interpreting facts. In external communications, your emphasis is on promoting goodwill and future business. In this paper, my teammate and I will be discussing the two systems of communication. Internal Communications All communication among employees is INTERNAL because they are co-workers. Internal communications takes place within a firm. Communication flows in three directions: Downwards, Upwards, and Lateral. Downward Communication is communication that flows from upper to lower (such as manager to employer or superior to subordinate). This type of internal communication provides job related information and gives direction. Downward Communication is used daily by managers to guide and provide information to employees so they can complete tasks. Employee handbooks, policy manuals, training materials, and organization mission are examples of Downward Communication. As internal communication flows downward, it gets more specific at each level with the most detailed information at the bottom. There is a pro and con to this method. The pro is the efficiency...

...Shantee Hill MGT301 Mod1 case The Microsoft corporation is one of the most prevalent and powerful companies in the private computer business. Established in 1975 by Paul Allen and Bill Gates, Microsoft has the strongest presence in just about all areas of computer software, from applications to programming tools. Bill Gates wanted to create a healthy, productive work environment that maintained its employee’s values and commitment of excellence. In building a corporation based on the principles of diversity and respect of one another’s individuality, Bill wanted to bring in the right people to manage his corporation that had the same common goals to achieve the main goal of having a thriving corporation. Planning is important at all levels of management within Microsoft. However, its distinctiveness differs by level of management. Within Microsoft the key terms of planning management functions are vision, mission, objectives and goals. Planning requires a organized approach and an establishment of objectives. It starts with setting goals and objectives that can be achieved. Those objectives provide a underlying principle for a variety of tasks as well as designate course of efforts. Additionally those objectives also focus the attention of the managers on the final results wanted to be achieved. Objectives are the core to the planning process. Consequently, objectives should be stated in a obvious, accurate and unequivocal manner. Otherwise the tasks to be carried out are...

...This paper will define and explain and provide examples of several characteristic features of performance assessments. This paper will also examine if the topic impacts curriculum and standards, and will critically analyze if the impact seems appropriate. Body Generally speaking, coming to terms with a good definition of performance assessments, from Frey and Schmitt points of view, was difficult to capture. Although they made mention of classroom assessments (performance, authentic, and formative), they compared and contrasted other scholars views. Therefore, my focus shifted to additional articles. According to the Education Consumer Guide, performance assessment also known as alternative or authentic assessments, is a form of testing that requires students to perform a task rather than select an answer from a ready-made list. For example, a student may be asked to explain historical events, generate scientific hypotheses, solve math problems, converse in a foreign language, or conduct research on an assigned topic (Office of Research, Sep 93). As you see from the examples above, performance assessments require the student to display or show what they can do. This performance can take the form of responding to an activity by assessing their thinking, problem solving, or writing abilities to name a few. Several features or methods of assessing student’s performance are currently being used. My discussion will briefly explain and provide examples of the following...

...Introduction In this assessment, our aim is to give an explanation about five phases that information will go through in their extended life. This process is called Information Lifecycle. Information Lifecycle had been divided to five phases which is creation, distribution, use, maintenance and disposition. .All of information is been through this process is to ensure that there is no cases such as information overload or information explosion. The information life cycle is a concept in common use. It indicates that informations are not static, but have a life similar to that of biological organisms: they are born, live through youth and old age and then die. The idea was developed in North America by Schellenberg (1956, 37), who wrote about the ‘life span’ of records, this concept can also be employed in our brief explanation about the ‘information lifecycle’ models used in information management and technology. The purpose of this assessment is also to give some example of activities in our daily life that is related with each of five phases that information been through. These examples provide a ‘feel’ for each of the five phases of information lifecycle in today’s turbulent environments. Five Phases of Information Lifecycle. How information is created. Information is created through stages. For the first stage, information is created from some highly-intelligence individual , an author or a scholars. This group of individual usually create...

...achieved by distancing the placed funds from their source. Criminals will do so by splitting funds into various accounts (domestic or international) , having professionals act as intermediaries in order to clean the money or even purchase, bonds, stock, or mixing with income from a legitimate source known as a 'shop front'. 3. Integration: This step is where criminals are involved with processing illicit profit in a way that enables them to hide and accumulate wealth, evade taxes and maximise profits through investment. At this stage funds become available for criminals to use and once placement and layering has been complete, funds then have the appearance of legitimacy. (DIAGRAM FROM AUSTRAC) Fig 1.0 (http://www.austrac.gov.au/elearning/mod1/mod_1_money_laundering_11.html) Nowadays criminals are becoming more aware of loopholes and creative in means of thinking of methods of laundering criminal proceeds as well as more complex. On the contrary to Money Laundering, Terrorism financing is usually obtained from sources such as fund- raising activities and business profits, as well as illegitimate sources such as the drug trade and fraud. Terrorism is the unlawful use, of thrusts and or violence against individuals or property to intimidate governments or societies into comply to demands of political, religious or ideologies The role of money is vital in the function and survival of terrorism organisations.

...i) Upon Julie’s arrest, she would first be taken to the custody sergeant, whose job it is to ensure that her initial detention is authorised, then the officer who arrested her would give brief details for the reason for her arrest. Then the custody sergeant will ask Julie questions such as her date of birth, or her height or address, by law Julie can refuse to answer these questions, but giving false details could result in obstructing a police officer. After this her rights will be detailed by the custody officer, these are the right to inform someone of her detention, the right to free legal aid before answering any questions, and the right to consult the code of practice. Julie would then be asked to sign a form confirming she has been read these rights. After the above steps have taken place, Julie would be searched to ensure that she is not carrying or concealing weaponry. This search would be carried out by an officer of the same sex, and would consist of a simple pat down; it is unlikely that Julie would be searched more thoroughly given the situation. The police could potentially ask to retain some clothes if it is felt that by retaining said clothes, it would provide evidence to the case, if this were the case, Julie must be provided alternate clothing. This incident is an example of an either way offence, as it could be trailed in the magistrate’s court, or the crown court, as a result of this, the police would have authority to conduct a search of Julie’s address or...
