I believe that the strategy you are using when you only read the title, section headings, and captions is called the SQ3R reading method. The abbreviation stands for survey, question, read, recite, and review, and it helps you better understand your assignment.
Answer:
1. "lack of documentation in the implementation project."
2. "resistance from end users for IS implementation."
Explanation:
Some of the general challenges of implementing change are:
1. Lack of Proper Planning.
2. Low Employee Morale.
3. Lack of Consensus.
4. Adopting New Technology.
5. Failing to Communicate.
6. Resistance
However from the scenario, we see two major challenges of IS implementation which also agrees with the general challenges of change management and implementation.
1. Lack of documentation in the implementation project: The issue of lack of documentation during implementation is in relation to 'lack of proper planning' because such documentation will be invaluable when it comes to training the staff about the change that has been implemented. Lack of implementation documentation will also lead to inability to communicate the progress of the implementation to Staff. In summary implementation documentation are necessary for understanding whatever change(s) will happen as a result of such project.
2. Resistance from end users for IS implementation: This is not a problem peculiar to this scenario but as can be seen from the general problems of implementing organisational change, 'resistance' is a problem.
Such resistance is caused by other factors like 'lack of communication' and 'lack of consensus'. Employees always do resist change because they are already used to the old way of doing things and possibly were not part of the decision to implement an IS.
These challenges can be addressed by staff engagement, staff training on the change and effective communication.
Answer:
d. Evaluate segment attractiveness
Explanation:
The STP process helps to find your customers and decide the best way to target them. The step of the process that develops descriptions of the different segments is evaluate segment attractiveness as in this step the description of the segments along with market information and research results are generated to evaluate each segment.
Answer:
1. $10
2. The fixed overhead budget variance and volume variance is $4,000 unfavorable and $10,000 favorable respectively
Explanation:
1. The computation of the predetermined overhead rate for the year is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated budgeting fixed manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)
= $250,000 ÷ 25,000 hours
= $10
2. The computation of the fixed overhead budget variance and volume variance is shown below:
Fixed overhead budget variance = Actual fixed overhead cost for the year - Total budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year
= $254,000 - $250,000
= $4,000 unfavorable
Volume variance = (Budgeted direct labor hours - standard direct labor hours) × predetermined overhead rate
= (25,000 hours - 26,000 hours) × $10
= $10,000 favorable
