Assume that you have the following decision-making options: (1) make the decision on your own with available information, (2) co

nsult others before making a decision, and (3) call a meeting and reach a consensus, seeking to arrive at a final decision everyone can agree on. Which approach would you use to make each of the following decisions and why?
You are the leader of a new product development project. Your team has worked hard on developing a third-generation product that incorporates new technology and meets customer demands. The project is roughly 50 per- cent complete. You have just received a report from the marketing depart- ment detailing a similar product that is about to be released by a competitor. The product appears to utilize radical new design principles that expand the functionality of the product. This poses a serious threat to the success of your project. Top management is considering canceling your project and starting over again. They want you to make a recommendation.

Answer:

(2) consult others before making a decision.

Before I make a recommendation, I will consult my team members.  Individually, some may have new ideas and modifications which we can incorporate into the project to even beat the competition and cause management to continue supporting the project.

Explanation:

Even though our competitor's "product appears to utilize radical new design principles that expand the functionality of the product," we can still modify our product.  This will not only incorporate the features of our competitor's product, but also further introduce new features that will emanate from the challenge from competition.

This is where the SCRUM framework becomes important.  This framework for project management emphasizes teamwork, accountability, and iterative progress toward a well-defined goal, while allowing for tweaks.

Developing this project based on this framework must have made it possible for us to receive the report from the marketing department in the first place.  The principles of Scrum are Openness, Respect, Courage, Commitment, and Focus.  So, the best we can do will be to prioritize, come up with new improvement ideas, and convince top management not to cancel the project.

elena55 [62]

Answer:

The number of ounces started and completed during the period is <u>42,000 ounces</u>.

Explanation:

The number of ounces started and completed during the period can be computed by simply deducting the beginning work in process from the number of ounces completed.

Since we have the following from the question:

Number of ounces completed by Filling = 46,000 ounces

Beginning work in process = 4,000 ounces

Therefore, we have:

Number of ounces started and completed = Number of ounces completed by Filling - Beginning work in process = 46,000 ounces - 4,000 ounces = 42,000 ounces

Therefore, the number of ounces started and completed during the period is <u>42,000 ounces</u>.

If the spot rate of the Israeli shekel is 5.76 shekels per dollar and the 180-day forward rate is 5.51 shekels per dollar, then
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Premium = $5.76 -$5.51 = 0.25

Percentage of premium = 0.25/5.76 x 100

                                        = 4.34% premium

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

This is an indirect quote in which dollar is fixed and shekels is variable. In order to obtain the 180-day forward rate, premium of $0.25 has been deducted. In indirect quote, premium is deducted from the spot rate in order to determine the forward rate ie $5.76 - $0.25 = $5.51. The percentage of premium is calculated as premium divided by spot rate multiplied by 100.
