Memorandum: Write a memo based on the following plan
$5.00Write a memo based on the following plan:
Buffer:
At the end of each fiscal year, it is important to assess the overall profitability of the company and the individual contribution to operating income from each of the company’s division. We are fortunate that all but one of the company’s operating divisions are reporting profits and contributing well to overall operating income.
Reasons:
Direction from the CEO and board of directors specifies that each of the firm’s divisions should provide a positive contribution to operating income. Decisions should be made with complete objectivity. Unless there is a qualitative reason to retain a segment that is not contributing positive operating income, the segment should be eliminated.
Bad News:
The Denver Division’s bottom line shows negative numbers. However, sometimes allocated and unavoidable fixed costs create an incorrect picture of what a segment actually contributes to overall company operating profits. In order to be completely sure that the Denver Division is not contributing a hidden positive operating income, I should remove all unavoidable fixed costs. . While we would all prefer the continuance of this division, the overall computation shows that the Denver Division is causing a reduction of $27,800 in company operating profits. If the $27,800 is eliminated, profits will incrase a striking 45.6% of current operating income.
Conclusion:
Serious consideration should be given to closing the Denver Division. Qualitative factors and possibility of income improvement should be considered before making the final decision; however, in the absence of any reason not to close Denver, it should likely be eliminated.

Case 1 Assignment: You are controller of Finn Manufacturing Company
$5.00You are controller of Finn Manufacturing Company and have been advised by a colleague that the sales director is unlawfully declaring fuel benefits in order to save substantial taxes. This has been creating higher profit margins and if declared those margins will go down. There is potential that this could push the company into insolvency, which would result in job losses for 300 employees. You have made the other directorsaware of the situation but they have expressed a wish not to disclose the misleading tax bill. You are aware that by declaring this information to the tax authorities, as required by law, that the organization may have to declare insolvency and those 300 employees could lose their jobs.
The Board of Directors has asked that you write a memo covering the details of the issue and providing a recommendation for going forward.
Organize your thoughts by considering: 1) introducing the issue; 2) the facts; 3) recommendations and 4) closing comments. (Do not assume that there is only one way to deal with this issue.)
The memo should be in good format for a professional memo and have citations for any source used.

How would you proceed with the task of modifying the performance management process
$10.00Guidelines: This assignment requires you to post an original thought and respond to one of your classmates thoughts. In total, you will need to make two posts. Your original thought must be at least two paragraphs in length with five sentences in each paragraph (should include a FULL citation (not just a web link – see info on “sources” below). Your response post must be at least one paragraph in length with five sentences (does not need a citation). While the original post should include a citation, please remember that this is not a formal academic paper and your postings should retain a “discussion” flavor.
Topic: You are a hired to assist the human resources director of a local hospital. He has hired you to help him revamp the performance management system specifically for the nursing staff working in the obstetrical department. The current process is to conduct an annual performance review using a traditional 12-item graphic rating scale (some with behavioral descriptions) that measures aspects of work such as attitude, quality of performance, productivity, attention to detail, job knowledge, reliability, and availability. The form also provides room for comments by supervisors and employees. There have been numerous complaints about the process from both employees and supervisors that it seems like a waste of time, does not provide good feedback, and does not sufficiently assess their performance under the team approach they use when delivering babies.
Original Post: The HR director is looking for your assistance on three items: 1. How would you proceed with the task of modifying the performance management process? 2. What two specific performance management strategies should be implemented that would yield the greatest improvements? 3. What might be some obstacles in implementing the approach and how will you overcome these problems? Your original discussion post should respond to each of these 3 questions.
Sources: To receive full credit, you must cite at least one academic or government source to support your position in your original thought post. Please do not cite your book – this assignment requires you to do additional work. The following websites are not appropriate academic citations: Wikipedia.com; Ehow.com; Ask.com; About.com or anything in the same genre.
