...The last scenario is to resolve revenue from a non-refundable prepayment for the right to receive goods or services in the future, such as a gift card in this case (IFRS 15 BC396). According to IFRS 15.B44, UCL should recognize a contract liability in the amount of the prepayment for its performance obligation to transfer in the future. UCL shall derecognize that contract liability (and recognize revenue) when it transfers those goods or services and, therefore, satisfies its performance obligation. As the gift cards have no expire date, UCL will only recognize revenue when those gift cards are redeemed (IFRS 15.B40), because the related performance obligations has been satisfied.

...Many leadership theories were developed and studied during the last century, but no single approach to leadership has been identified as the best method for all situations. Leadership is “the ability of an individual to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute toward the effectiveness and success of the organization. . .” (House et al., 1999, pg. 184) Victory will go to the organizations that maintain their flexibility, continually improve their quality, and beat their competition to the marketplace with a constant stream of innovative products and services. After years of lackluster performance, Boeing realized it needed to change its business model. The result was its 787 Dreamliner and a return to being the world’s largest airplane manufacturer. Similarly one key to the success of a manager is their ability to switch, or flex, styles as conditions change. This is commonly referred to as "situational leadership." Every organization has a variety of work force, different type of contingencies and every situation calls for a different type of approach. There cannot be a fixed solution for a similar type of problem. Yes but definitely there can be a combination of previously derived solutions to solve an issue. That’s the reason higher management’s know the worthiness of recruiting experience persons. This approach leadership is successful in both, the existing work environment, or the specific needs of the business. The effective manager is able to utilize multiple...

...PhD in philosophy, she acts like she knows everything, but she does not even know herself. When a bible salesman comes to Hulga’s house, her mother invites the teenage boy into their house for dinner because she wants her daughter to get married. Hulga eventually warms up to the boy and they make plans together. Hulga plans to seduce Manly Pointer and believes that she has the intellectual ability to control him because he is a “Christian” and Hulga claims that she does not believe in anything. Hulga plans to manipulate Manly Pointer on their date, but does not recognize that she has actual feelings for him. However, Manly Pointer turns out to not be a Christian at all and only wanted to take advantage of Hulga. Manly Pointer tricks Hulga into taking off her leg and this makes her feel “entirely dependent on him” (289). Hulga put herself in a vulnerable position when she thought that she was in control of the situation. Manly Pointer is not a real Christian and in his “bible” are playing cards and alcohol and other non-Christian like items. His bible was a fake front that he used in order to get what he wanted. Manly Pointer’s name is ironic because he wanted to figuratively “point” Hulga into the right direction by having her get over herself and realize that she...

...Justice Jackson’s framework of presidential powers laid out in the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer case discusses three situations and the level of power the president possesses in accordance to said situations. The first of these regards when the President “acts pursuant to an express or implied authorization of Congress” at which point his power is at its highest. The second situation is when the President “acts in absence of either Congressional grant or denial of authority” in which case he must rely upon his own independent powers. However, there is a gray area in this scenario in which he and Congress may have “concurrent authority or in which its distribution is uncertain.” The third situation regards when the President “takes measures incompatible with the expressed or implied will of Congress…for...

...(Chapters 1, 2 & 3) Message for Analysis (p. 31) Students will recognize this document as ineffective because it presents so many barriers to communication. The memo • Creates emotional barriers right from the first sentence (accusing employees of lying and cheating, later calling them names), preventing readers from perceiving the intended message • Presents a restrictive and authoritarian attitude, reflecting an environment that discourages open communication and thus discourages employee candor • Expresses bias or prejudice (in the slur against women employees) • Reflects the author’s anger and defensiveness (“I simply have no choice”) • Assumes bad intentions on the part of the employees, underlining the lack of audience-centered thinking • Uses vague, confusing language (More than three times during what period? Will have to answer to the author for what specific penalties?) • Polarizes workers by inciting conflict between “punctual” employees and others 1.2 The tasks described have the following communication directions: a. Downward, upward, and horizontal—since the entire company is involved. A memo is the best choice (either printed or electronic) to ensure that everyone receives the message (as opposed to, say, a blog posting, which is more passive). b. Upward. Depending on the situation, could be a formal proposal or a presentation at an executive meeting. c. Horizontal. Because this situation calls for feedback, a phone call, an e-mail, or an instant message...

...Adapted from Bernhardt & Kinnear (1988). Cases in marketing management, pp. 6-16. Plano, TX: Business Publications, Inc. Pay careful attention to the following points. They are often used by instructors to evaluate either a written or oral analysis. 1. Be complete. Each area of the situation analysis must be discussed, problems and opportunities identified, alternative presented and evaluated using the situation analysis and relevant financial analysis, and a decision must be made. An analysis that omits part of the situation analysis or only recognizes one alternative is not a good analysis. Second, each area must be covered in-depth and within insight. 2. Avoid rehashing case facts. Every case has a lot of factual information. A good analysis uses facts that are relevant to the situation at hand to make summary points of analysis. A poor analysis just restates or rehashes theses facts without making relevant summary comments. 3. Make reasonable assumptions. Every case is incomplete in terms of some piece of information that you would like to have. A good case analysis must make realistic assumptions to fill in the gaps of information in the case. For example, the case may not describe the purchase decision process for the product of interest. A poor analysis would either omit mentioning this or just state that no information is available. A good analysis would attempt to present this purchase decision process by classifying the product and drawing upon real life...
