Case ScenarioOver the past four years, the LSS organization, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, has beco

me renowned nationally for its Camp Noah project. Following floods, tornadoes or other weather emergencies, children lose their daily routine, their schools and oftentimes their homes. Parents are often stressed and unavailable during emergencies, and children have few resources to help them understand their situation. In Camp Noah, volunteers with skills in child psychology and counseling meet in a two day support group environment with children in flood ravaged areas. They encourage the children to share their stories and develop important resiliency skills and learn how to cope emotionally with the disaster.Due to the need for such services, LSS has developed a training system that lets them partner with resource organizations located near flood or tornado areas. They have partnered with many local organizations around the U.S. to train, equip and empower volunteers to staff local camps attended by children during their summer vacation. LSS also provides pre-packaged Camp Noah supplies that range from workbooks, crayons and puppets to a quilt for each child.Recently, powerful rainstorms in southeastern France triggered flash flooding that displaced more than 1000 families, and left 200,000 people without electricity for more than two weeks. City officials in France called the LSS Director of Camp Noah Services, Chris Walker, and asked if she could provide training and equip 20 volunteers in southeastern France to deliver the Camp Noah curriculum to up to 500 children. The French officials have asked that a decision to proceed be made within 2 weeks, and that the training and they want the equipment be delivered 6 weeks after the decision is made. Chris Walker wants to help but isn’t sure how to start. Currently, Camp Noah supplies are all written in English, and the counselor training documents are only written in English as well. The floods occurred in an area of France that has few English speakers.You are a contract employee who has been engaged to help LSS because you speak French fluently and because you are an expert, experienced project manager with great interpersonal skills. Your job is to assist the director, Chris Walker, during project initiation. If the project is approved, you may be asked to lead the remainder of the project as well. You and Chris have been in meetings together all day discussing the opportunity for a French Camp Noah. You’ve been listening very carefully and asking dozens of questions about the potential effort. Now, you’re ready to get started and put your considerable project management skills and knowledge to work.Questions based on above scenario and answer need to be 1/2 page long:1. Is this (or will this be) a project or operations? Justify your choice.2. What process group is this project currently in? How do you know?3. As an experienced project manager, you are aware that analyzing the environment in which a project operates is critically important. Select two (2) OPA and two (2) EEF that you believe are important to understand for this project. Apply these to the case scenario and justify why the four items you selected are important. 4. Once the decision is made to proceed with the project, Chris Walker, the director, will need to select a project manager. You know that LSS is a strong-matrix org. What does this mean in terms of how the project will be conducted and the role of the project manager? (5. You and Chris Walker, the director, will work on trying to define what project success will look like as you define the project objectives. What should you keep in mind about the process of writing objectives? Why are good statements of project objectives important to project success?

Answer and Explanation:

1. This is a project because it is carefully planned and follows a series of tasks to achieve a particular goal

2. Project is at initiation stage. It is yet to be approved and discussions are still on

3. Two organizational process assets (OPA) are : checklist, lessons database. Two Enterprise environmental factors(EEF): Organization management, group performance. EEF enable project managers understand their environment and factors that influence the project which may be beyond their control. OPAs here will enable organization learn from the knowledge base and everything other thing already acquired by management that can be used in the project or from projects initially executed by organization

4. Since LLS is a matrix organization(answering to both functional head and project manager), employees involved in the project would answer to project manager and project manager reports to functional head

5. The important to have in mind while writing project objectives is the goal of the project while considering threats and opportunities surrounding reaching the goal of the project. Clear objectives are important as they form guidelines to achieving project goal.

Reika [66]

Answer:

20,000,000= unemployed people

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Suppose the current unemployment rate is 5%, the labor force is 400 million people, the labor force participation rate is 80% and the working-age population is 500 million people.

The unemployment rate is the number of people of working age, disposed to work and looking for a job.

Labor force rate= unemployed people/ labor force

0.05= unemployed people/ 400,000,000

400,000,000*0.05= unemployed people

20,000,000= unemployed people

Headland Corp. had $100,000 of 7%, $20 par value preferred stock and 12,000 shares of $25 par value common stock outstanding thr
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

total dividends distributed to common stockholders = $42,294.12

dividend per common stock = $42,294.12 / 12,000 = $3.52

Explanation:

allocated preferred dividends = 5,000 x $20 x 7% = $7,000

dividends directly allocated to common stockholders = $7,000 (same as above)

total dividends declared - allocated dividends = $64,000 - $14,000 = $50,000

total common + preferred stocks = 5,000 + 12,000 = 17,000

dividends per stock = $50,000 / 17,000 = $2.9412

dividends distributed to common stockholders = $42,294.12

dividends distributed to preferred stockholders = $21,705.88

dividend per common stock = $42,294.12 / 12,000 = $3.52

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs for the month is $ 6.256 (round off to three decimal places)

Explanation:

The Concept of Equivalent units measures the number of units of output in terms of percentage completion of a certain input element.

In this question we  are required to find the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs.

Step 1 Find the Total conversion costs for the period.

Conversion cost in this beginning work in process inventory $19,200

Conversion costs incurred in the  during the month              $383,060

Total conversion costs for the period                                      $402,260

Step 2 Find the Total Equivalent units

Hint : First find the Units Completed

Units Completed = 10000+6000-19000

                            =  51,000

<u> Total Equivalent units</u>

Units Completed (  51,000 × 100 %)                  = 51,000

Closing Work In progress (  19,000 × 70 %)      =13,300

Total Equivalent units                                         =64,300

Step 3 Find cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs

cost per equivalent unit = Total conversion costs / Total Equivalent units

                                          =  $402,260 / 64,300

                                          =  $ 6.256 (round off to three decimal places)

What is the difference between productive and service oriented professions Explain with examples​
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Product vs Service Business

While it may seem to go against traditional thinking, in some ways there is very little difference between product based and service based companies. In actuality, both sell a product. The distinction between the two is that the product business sells a physical, tangible product, while the service business owner sells his skills as the primary product. In the service-based business, customers purchase the skills of a service provider or owner, such as a plumber or lawyer, This type of business has a strong emphasis on the client relationship and makes the customer's user experience very important. Product-based businesses, on the other hand, deliver physical products that are reasonably consistent in quality for each customer, making the customer experience fairly predictable.

Local or Global Consumer Markets

In general, when consumers are looking for new solutions they try to distinguish the different services/products of business and industry in the locality where they reside. As such, businesses need to target their product and service based businesses to the appropriate markets. Consumers located anywhere in the global market can purchase a product via the internet as long as they can have their purchase delivered locally and cost effectively. However, most service businesses can only provide services to customers within their local target market. For example, while a computer store can ship computers all over the world, a hairstylist will only attract clients within a reasonable driving distance from her home or business. As a result, businesses need to consider how their customer base will influence their marketing efforts.
