Saturday, October 30, 2010 Posted In Edit This

CS 615 solution :

Question # 1:

Choice
elements are found in the theory and practice of strategic management and provide the performance standard by which enterprise resources are identified, selected, committed for the growth and survival of the organizational process and future products. Discuss the key choice elements for the strategic management that are important building blocks in the design and implementation of the strategies for the enterprise’s future.

Solution:
In the management of an enterprise as if its future mattered, nine key choice elements are involved. These choice elements for the enterprise are:
1. vision
2. mission
3. objectives
4. goals
5. strategies
6. programs
7. projects
8. operational plans
9. organizational design

These choice elements provide for the major performance standards by which enterprise resources will be identifies, selected, committed, and reviewed in the enterprise for  survival and growth in its future products, services, and organizational processes.

Vision:
A vision is a mental image of what could be anticipated for the enterprise’s future such as becoming a world-class competitor. One company defined its vision to be a “world-class competitor and to keep it that way. We have programs in place to do just that such as a total qualitymanagement process whereby we live quality.” Another company included in its vision statement: “We will enhance our competitiveness by being first in the development of advanced technology that supports our world-class products and services.”

Mission:
The mission of an enterprise answers the basic question: What business are we in? One project-driven firm defined its mission in the following way: “We are in the business of  designing, developing, and installing energy management systems and services for the  domestic industrial market.”

Objective:
An objective is a statement of the ongoing purposes in the enterprise that must be carried out to support the organizational mission. A computer company defines one of its  objectives as “leading the state-of-the-art in its products and services.”

Goal:
A goal is a specific achievement in the satisfaction of enterprise objectives. As a performance measurement for progress in the use of resources to support corporate purposes, a goal has a specific time element. One company defined its goals as the realization of a certain percentage of return on invested assets by a specific date.

Strategy:
An organizational strategy is the design of the means, through the use of resources, to accomplish end purposes. Strategies also include action plans for establishing the  direction for the coordinated acquisition and use of resources through organizational design choices. Strategies also provide for the means to obtain resources for the enterprise, and how to use such resources effectively and efficiently in the fulfillment of organizational purposes.

Programs:
Programs are resource-consuming combination of organizational resources, which have a common purpose in supporting the enterprise’s purposes. For example, a productivity improvement program could be composed of projects such as the following:
 the use of self-managed production teams on the assembly line
 plane and equipment modernization initiatives
 use of computer-aided design and manufacturing
 Changeover of a production facility from conventional manufacturing to
manufacturing cells.
 
Projects:
Projects are ad hoc, resource-consuming activities used to implement organizational strategies, achieve enterprise goals and objectives, and contribute to the realization of the enterprise’s mission.

Operational plans:
Operational plans are those documents developed to guide the organization in a consistent fashion toward meeting its mission, objectives, and goals through designated  strategies. These plans from the overarching policies, procedures, and practices for when  and how program and project work will be accomplished.

Organizational Design:
Organizational design is the organizational structure that facilitates performing the work. Organizational design considers the business that is being conducted, the manner in  which work will be conducted, the practices for managing the work effort and strategies  for work accomplishment. An optimal organization design supports the enterprise in  getting its work accomplished in the most competitive way.

Question # 2:
Discuss the planning limitations in formal strategic planning? (At least five)
 
Solution:
Some limitations of formal strategic planning

1. The environment that the enterprise faces may change more than expected,
including unexpected events in economics, social issues, war or the threat of war. The growing threat of terrorism, natural catastrophes like the Katrina hurricane.
2. Resistance by enterprise people. The old way of doing things, old policies, old strategies, and operating processes and procedures may be so entrenched that it is difficult to change them.
3. Strategic planning is challenging. It is hard work, expensive, and the desired
results may take years to more about.
4. Formal strategic planning is not designed to get an enterprise out of current
difficulties. But a strategic planning process that has considered alternative
scenarios, both positive and negative, will help to reduce the effects of operational difficulties.
5. Strategic planning is hard work. It requires imagination, innovation, analytical ability, creativity, and the resolution to evaluate, choose, and design
implementation strategies for organization products, services, and processes likely to be relevant several years into the future.
6. Strategic plans are commitments made in the present for alternative choices for the often distant future. A strategic plan should be a “living document” not
allowed to become fixed for the future, but be a plan whose implementation is
likely to come about assuming that environmental factors remain relatively
constant.

Solution :
 
“.When a credit card is “swiped” through a card reader, the information coded in a magnetic pattern on the back of the card is transmitted to the card holder's bank. Why is it necessary to swipe the card rather than holding it motionless in the card reader's slot?”

ANS: In a credit card reader, the magnetic strip on the back of a credit card is rapidly? swiped? past a coil within the reader. Explain, using the same ideas that underlie the operation of a search coil, how the reader can decode the information stored in the pattern of magnetization on the strip.

FALL 1st Assignment

Q # 1 Consider a box that is placed on different surfaces. Marks = 10
a) In which situation (s) is there no force acting on the box?
b) In which situation (s) is there a static friction force acting on the box?
c) In which situation (s) is there a kinetic friction force acting on the box?
Various possible situations are as under:
I. The box is at rest on a rough horizontal surface.
II. The box is at rest on a rough tilted surface.
III. The box is on the rough-surfaced flat bed of a truck- the truck is moving at a constant velocity on a straight, level road and the box remains in the same place in the middle of the truck bed.
IV. The box is on the rough-surfaced flat bed of a truck- the truck is speeding up on a straight, level road, and box remains in the same place in the middle of the truck bed.
V. The box is on the rough-surfaced flat bed of a truck- the truck is climbing
a hill, and the box is sliding towards the back of the truck.
 
Answer Q1.
Answer (a) (I), (iii)
Answer (b) (ii), (IV)
Answer (c) (v)

In situation (I) and (ii) the box is not accelerating (so the net force on it must be zero) and there is no other force acting parallel to the horizontal surface; hence no  friction force is needed to prevent sliding. In situation (ii) and (IV) the box would  start to slide over the surface if no friction were present, so a static fraction force must act to prevent this.

In situation (V) the box is sliding over a rough surface, so a kinetic friction force acts on it.

Q # 2 A spaceship is moving in the vacuum of outer space, far from any planet, when its engine dies. As a result, the spaceship slows down and stops. What does Newton‘s first law say about this event? Marks = 5

Solution:-
 
In this situation there are no forces acting on the spaceship, so according to Newton’s first law, it will not stop. It continues to move in a straight line with constant speed, some science fiction movies have made use of very accurate science; this was not one of them

Q1: Strategic economies don't drive from Operational Excellence, but from the business concept itself. Discuss

Q2:What kind of challenges are being faced by the retail banking in Pakistan?



..........


“Consumer Banking (BNK603)”



Question 1:

Strategic Economies don’t drive from Operational Excellence, but from the business concept itself.

Strategic Economies

Unlike operational efficiencies, Strategic Economies don’t drive from Operational Excellence, but from the business concept itself. Strategic Economic come in three varieties:

1. Scale
2. Focus
3. Scope

1. Scale

Scale can derive efficiencies in many ways through:
 Better Plant Utilization
 Greater Purchasing Power
 The Muscle to enforce industry wide price discipline Industries revolutionaries often consolidate
fragmented industries. Any that gets caught behind the consolidation curve and misses the chance
to build Scale Advantage will be left with a notable disadvantage

2. Focus

A company with a high degree of Focus & Specialization may reap economies compared with competitors
with a more diffused Business Mission and a less coherent mix of products & services.
Focus is not about efficiency in a cost sense; it’s about in a don’t-get-distracted, get-all-the-wood-behindone-
arrow sense.

3. Scope
The idea here is almost opposite of focus. A company that can leverage resources and management talents
across a broad array of opportunities may have an efficiency advantage over firms that cannot. Scope
Economies come from sharing things across business units & countries; Brands, Facilities, Best Practices,
Scare Talent, IT Infrastructure, and so on. Scope Economies come in a variety of flavors; Channel Power &
access to distribution channels, Economies in buying ad space & running high-tech distribution centers.
