...Unit 4 IP G**** N******* American Intercontinental University This unit’s case studies seemed to focus a great deal on growth of production and overall company growth. In the following pages will be a basic overview of the case study answers from the excerpts. All of the readings contained a tremendous amount of useful knowledge. The excerpts: Denver Goes Alfresco, Firewire Surfboards Lights Up with CAD, Colgate-Palmolive keeps managers smiling with executive dashboards, will be analyzed and discussed as listed. In the first excerpt, Denver Goes Alfresco we go over a major growing point in Denver’s economy, city-state government, public relations and community involvement. These major changes, once started, took 15 month period of 6-12 week cycles. Before every implementing this project The city-government and its various agencies were in a blinded state of turmoil. They were have so many issues with technological communication that the only option was change! So change they made by implementing a single centralized IT group whose sole purpose was to bring the city-government out of the ashes. This of course meant saying farewell to the existing 14 management systems, saving costs in doing so anyway. The new system, the enterprise content management (ECM) system had to fill 3 major roles records, security, and finally communication. The ECM chosen blew its competitor away with a million dollar a year in potential savings. That and its ability to accommodate the cities...

...Abstract Juvenile Delinquents are also known as youth crime. Juvenile Delinquency is an illegal behavior by a minor under the age of 18. There have been many studies on families with children that commit crimes. If juvenile crimes not prevented at an adolescent age, these children are more than likely going to become greater criminals when they are adults. It has been proven that intervention at an early will more likely prevent the child from committing at an adult age. If a child proceeds in criminal activity they are likely to become violent not only to themselves but to innocent people in their destructive path. Juvenile crimes do not affect just one race. It doesn’t have a sexual preference either. Young men are though known to be more aggressive than young woman. Younger siblings of older siblings are also at risk for crimes because they will follow in their footsteps. There is known preventative actions for children that start to show signs in behavioral actions. Causes of Juvenile Delinquents There are many reasons why young children become juvenile delinquents. For instance, fetal substance exposure, prenatal difficulties, an abusive and violent families are all factors of poor executive functioning. Poor parent supervision, criminal parents, low intelligence, and low educational attainment are other frequent precursors. Early onset antisocial behavior has more severe outcomes than antisocial behaviors that occur later on and...

...The contribution margin per haircut is $2.50. Subtract the variable cost, which is the hourly rate for each worker from the unit price of a haircut. $12-$9.90=$2.50. The breakeven point by definition is the sales level at which a company neither earns a profit nor incurs a loss. To find the brat even point all a business manager needs to do is divide the contribution margin per unit into fived costs. You must find the fixed cost first. To find the fixed cost you subtract the total variable cost per unit from the sales price per unit. The break even formula for this one is $1,750/$2.50=$700. 20,000 units times $12 per unit equals $24,000. To find the operating cost for 20000 haircuts all you would have to do is multiply by the price per unit. With the company only performing haircuts the unit price is still $12. If Andre revises the compensation method and gives $6 for each haircut and $4 per hour the new contribution margin per haircut would be $2.00. The breakeven point for the new revised compensation would be $870. For the contribution you would do $12-$10=$2. For the breakeven point you would do $1,750/$2=$875. If all the stylist where to perform 20000 haircuts in a year a long side their hourly rate per year the total expense for all five stylist Andre would have to pay is $120,000. The total for the hourly rate plus the compensation a year is $40,000+$120,000=$160,000. The best method for Andre to apply for his business is to use the flat hourly rate of $9.90....

...Grade Received: "B-" Abstract This essay will talk about why abortion is immoral and should be illegal. Although abortion is legal in the state of Texas, doctors should exercise their rights to not take part in abortions. Legal and Moral Stance of Abortion Abortion is a very touchy subject, not only here in Texas, but pretty much everywhere. Some will say it is moral, some will say it is immoral. As a healthcare provider, I feel abortion is immoral all the way, and that even though it is legal here in the state of Texas, it should be illegal. If I were actually a healthcare provider, this could potentially create challenges in a healthcare setting. Although the amount of abortions has decreased during the 1990s, there are still about 1.2 million legal abortions each year (Fremgen, 2012). Here in Texas, three very significant laws have been passed since Roe vs. Wade. In the late 1980s, abortions that were done in the last trimester were outlawed, which put an end to the alternative left behind from this particular decision. Following Roe vs. Wade, in 1977, a law was passed that protected any health care provider that both refused to participate as well as those that participated in abortions. Private facilities did not have any legal obligations to do abortions except if the mother’s life was in danger (Abortion Laws in Texas, n.d.). During 1985, the Texas Abortion Facility Reporting and Licensing Act decided that every abortion...

...in their business; this makes for easy decision making. Each member of the team knows who has the power to make a decision, and this individual’s choices are accepted. Each member has the chance to give his/her opinion, and the leader will consider them (Martin, 2013). 3. Clear Expectations: When each team member is aware of what is expected of them, they tend to be more efficient and feel better about their occupations. Team members tend to trust each other, depend on each other, and work independently all at the same time. When a team member does not know what is expected of them, they get frustrated and begin to feel hostile, as well as feeling that other teammates ask too much, or other people are doing too little (Martin, 2013). 4. Strong Communications: Strong teams have solid communication networks. As individuals start to work from different places, this network becomes more necessary. Strong teams are aware of how to get in touch with each other, and it is necessary to keep each other aware of what is going on at all times. Each individual knows which data is most important for each person as well as who is responsible for sharing that data (Martin, 2013). 5. Conflict Resolutions: Conflicts arise in any team, strong or not. However, strong teams will see this as a chance...

...American InterContinental University MGMT 422-1301A-01: Professor William Becker March 10, 2013 Abstract This project will discuss the market of flipping houses, its industry, and how our service will be different from the competition. We will also discuss what kind of approach we will be using, the intrapreneurial approach, or the entrepreneurial approach. Flipping Houses Introduction Our new service is that of flipping houses. In order for one to better understand what this means, it is for someone to buy a house, fix it up, and then to resell it at a much higher price than what it was bought for (Flipping Houses, 2013). Market Flipping houses in today’s real estate market may look to be very risky; however, people that actually do this are finding lots of opportunities, but with a lot of risk. People feel that trying to flip homes with our economy would be a bad idea. On the contrary, this would prove to be the best time to do so (Moore, n.d.). Because so many homes are ending up in foreclosure, real estate investors are finding bargains all over the place, especially in Florida, Nevada, and California (Moore, n.d.). House flipping has made a huge comeback over the last four years, and because of this, more and more investors are going to public auctions of foreclosed homes. When the housing boom was popular, lots of people were aiming to make some money, so they bought and then resold homes. However, this type of...

...1. For each the following variables from the Salary Data Set provide the measures of location and measures of dispersion for the following variables: 1. Beginning Salary Measures of location provide estimates of a single value that in some fashion represents “centering” of the entire set of data (Render 32). Dispersion refers to the degree of variation in the data, that is, the numerical spread (or compactness) of the data (Render 33). Several statistical measures characterize dispersion: the range, variance, and standard deviation (Render 33).

...Running head: Danger Below Danger Below 1 Danger Below: Earthquake Sheleana Hornback August 26, 2012 Kaplan University SC300 Danger Below 2 One of the most frightening and dangerous natural disasters known to man are earthquakes. Why is the threat of an earthquake so frightening? When dealing with other natural disasters like tornados, hurricanes, and flooding man is able to predict and track them: therefore, providing ample warning to people in the affected area. Earthquakes on the other hand are nearly impossible to predict because of how they occur. To understand how an earthquake occurs we must first look at how the earth is made. The earth is composed of four major layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The crust and the top of the mantle make a thin skin covering the surface of the earth. This skin is multiple pieces and is constantly moving, sliding past each other, and bumping into each other. These pieces are called tectonic plates and the edges of these plates are called the plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur on these faults. The edges of the tectonic plates are rough and they become stuck on the one another while the rest of the plate keeps moving. When the tectonic plate moves far enough the edges unstick and the stored energy is released. The energy radiates outward from the fault in all directions in the form of seismic waves. The seismic waves shake...

...Unit 4 Project: Baby Kim Case Study Debra Anderson Kaplan University HN144-05: Human Behavior and the Environment Professor Beverly Adams November 8, 2010 The ethical standards that relate directly to the Baby Kim Case are the entire list statements, numbers one through nine. As a human service professional you will need to make it clear to your clients the purpose, goals, and natures of the relationship prior to starting services and negotiate with them an acceptable plan, as well as inform them of the limits of the relationship. As a human service professional you will respect the integrity and welfare of the client at all times. Each client is treated with respect, acceptance and dignity. Clients should be treated as you would want to be treated yourself in these circumstances. Clients are more open to accept help from someone they feel is not judging them or looking down on them. Human service professionals will protect the client's right to privacy and confidentiality except when such confidentiality would cause harm to the client or others, when agency guidelines state otherwise, or under other stated conditions. Human service professionals inform clients of the limits of confidentiality prior to the onset of the beginning of services. Confidentiality must be respected to ensure trust and to maintain the client’s rights, except when they are endangering others with their actions. If it is suspected that harm or danger will occur to others due to the client’s...

...Processing a Defendant: In A Federal Investigation. Unit 4 Corrections and Prisons July 7th, 2013 AIU ONLOINE PROFESSOR: TINA DINGLE Abstract Today we will be discussing how a defendant is processed through a federal case. This is exceptionally important because your actions or absence of actions as law enforcement during the detaining of these suspects can result in the difference between their prosecution and release under federal statue. This presentation will also act as a checklist as well as provide additional information that you may need while in the field or throughout the proceedings of this case. Understand that your participation in this case may not be limited to just arresting or the processing of evidence; you may be utilized as a witness, under oath, in front of a federal court of law. Federal Investigation Outline Format for Presentation Process 1.0 Investigation 1.1 Evidence: It is evidence that leads the prosecutor to believe he has a "Strong case", meaning there is strong evidence that the person or persons have committed the crime. Direct evidence would include a witness who saw the crime happen, video/audio tape of the crime, and statements done by witnesses, of the crime. Circumstantial evidence may come from someone who did not see the crime first-hand; it includes someone's feelings on multiple indicators in the theory of the crime, even though that person did not see the crime take place (Journalists Guide, 2011). 1.2 Decision to...
