‘Ready To Eat’
‘Ready To Eat’ (RTE) is a small business owned and run by Rebecca Smith, single mother of three, in the coastal town of Yowie 200 kilometers away from the state capital city. RTE prepares and supplies pre‐packed healthy meals.
Rebecca realized a need for healthy pre‐packed meals in her town for locals and also for tourists and started the business in her own kitchen in 2000 with one kitchen‐hand who was also the delivery person. The meals’ variety was put together by a qualified nutrition specialist. The meals were packed and delivered on a daily basis to participating local businesses such as service stations, gyms, and corner shops. Sometimes, there were also lunch orders from local offices in CBD area. In the beginning, the business was slow but soon progressed further and started making a nice profit.
RTE operates seven days a week and the kitchen staff work from 6am to 2pm and the delivery staff from 9am to 5pm. The business does not operate on public holidays. Over the years, Rebecca thought many times about opening the business on public holidays as well due to more visitors in the town on these days, but could not decide as she wanted to spend public holidays with her family. Also, being the main person in the managing role, it would have been difficult to open the business and not being contactable.
Rebecca had done a business management certificate course which helped her in setting up the business. Later, she bought a personal computer (PC) with essential business and productivity software and managed the business quite nicely by keeping a grip on customers’ details, meals variety and pricing information, wages, details of fruits and vegetables and other raw material, packaging material, other overheads, invoices and calculating the financial figures.
Last year, the demand for the pre‐packed meals had grown to a level that Rebecca had to hire three more staff in the kitchen and also one full‐time delivery person, making it six staff altogether including Rebecca. It was getting difficult for Rebecca to run operations smoothly with the existing PC and the software. She was also having difficulty in managing the pricing information and raw material (as the varieties had increased) and communicating with the customers. It was not just the PC and the software, but also she did not have enough time to do things she used to when the business was quite small.
Lately, a competitor has come in the market; another small business owned by a regional company and started to challenge RTE’s products. With Rebecca’s problems in managing the business, the competitor has started to take some business away from RTE. Rebecca realized she had to do something to keep a grip on things as she used to. Rebecca knew that computers could help her in managing the business well, but did not know much about them and how computers may be helpful.
So, she contacted a local IT consulting company which is owned and run by you.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION REPORT
$32.50Portfolio Management IMPLEMENTATION Report
ASSESSMENT BRIEF Subject Code and Title Sustainability in Project Portfolio and Program Management Assessment Assessment 2: Portfolio Management Implementation Report FINAL report
Individual/Group Individual Length 2500 words Learning Outcomes 1. Critically evaluate the strategic value of project management and project portfolio management, paying particular attention to their potential impact on social equity, project management life cycles,
resource management and organisational change.
2. Demonstrate understanding and initiative in the application of project portfolio management tools,
techniques and processes to achieve improved business practices and performance and
integrate sustainable project outcomes.
3. Develop and defend arguments both for and against the implementation of project
portfolio management in a range of organisations.
Weighting FINAL Report – 40% Context:
This Assessment builds upon the first assessment but focuses on the implementation of portfolio management. This assessment is designed to highlight the skills, methodologies, tools and techniques required in project selection and management of a portfolio in order for an organisation to meet its specific business objectives. As organisations become more multi-faceted, evaluating the performance of their project portfolios becomes more complex and new methods of evaluation must be developed to account for this complexity.
Improving performance is also a key determinant for achieving organisational success which, in turn, is related to the project portfolio management maturity level of the organisation which may vary considerably. During implementation, organisations will be impacted by changes created by project and portfolio management initiatives and the project manager’s response must be cognisant of the corporate culture in which it is taking place and the strategies needed to account for any adverse impacts.
Instructions:
You have been successful in convincing executive management of CISCO Systems that the organisation should introduce a portfolio management function and now that all the planning has been completed, you have been given the responsibility for its implementation. However, not everyone in the organisation of CISCO is convinced that it is the right approach to take and you can already feel the forces of resistance starting to build from those who will be directly affected by its day-to-day operation.
You have determined that the status quo for managing projects in the organisation is not an option and will argue against it at every opportunity. The best way to convince your CISCO colleagues of the benefits of implementing project portfolio management is to review the processes and assess whether improvements to project selection, performance and success have been made, greater potential exists for aligning the business operations with strategic objectives, the benefits of enhanced portfolio management and evaluation to meet more complex needs are evident, and whether you think there is the potential for improving the maturity level of the organisation in project portfolio management in the future.
You recognise that during implementation, the changes created by the initiative have caused resistance from the CISCO colleagues and that your assessment must be cognisant of the CISCO corporate culture in the organisation and include strategies to account for different perspectives from key stakeholders and any other adverse impacts this may cause. In responding to this ‘challenge’, you have decided to document your findings in a report that will be presented to the CISCO executive management as part of the organisation’s annual review process which MUST address ALL the following 20 (twenty) requirements:
- Is the organisation investing in the right projects?
- Is the organisation optimising its capacity?
- How well is the organisation executing?
- Can the organisation absorb all the changes?
- Is the organisation realising the promised benefits? Portfolio Evaluation
- What method is the organisation using to evaluate its overall project portfolio?
- What is the justification of using the chosen method in comparison to some of the others that are available?
- Are there any challenges that the organisation might face in using the current method if it were to operate in a global environment?
- Is the benefits management lifecycle incorporated in the evaluation process?
- How might benefits management be helpful in successfully meeting the deliverable goals of the organisation’s projects? Portfolio Management
- How is project portfolio management ensuring that the organisation’s collective projects are aligning with its strategic objectives?
- Has a Project Management Office been introduced into the organisation and, if so, has it played a role in terms of standardising practices and increasing project success rates? If not, why not? What alternative approaches are available?
- What quantitative and qualitative tools and techniques is the organisation currently using to manage its project portfolio and are they effective? Maturity Levels
- At what maturity level do you believe the organisation is at in terms of its approach to project portfolio management?
- What are the key best practices which can be adopted to improve the maturity level and which model (e.g. PRINCE2, OPM3) do you think would be appropriate?
- How might you go about implementing this change and what assistance from the organisation would you require? Corporate Culture
- Assess the corporate culture of the organisation and whether it is likely to be different in terms of key internal stakeholder influence and input (e.g. HR Director, Technology Manager, Facilities Manager, Accountant).
- Will any change management initiative in terms of project portfolio management process improvement and benefits realisation need to take into account the different perspectives of these stakeholders and what concerns might each stakeholder express?
- What aspects of the corporate culture do you think would support project portfolio management and its sustainability criteria? And;
- Are there any challenges involved in getting project portfolio management and its sustainability criteria embraced by the organisation?
In considering these requirements, be mindful of the differing views and staff perspectives on the benefits and potential outcomes and highlight key instances where the implementation of project portfolio management is having both positive and/or negative effects and how they should be addressed.

Tesco Financial Analysis Paper
$20.00by Fiverr TutorsIndividual Written Coursework 2
Format
The assignment is a 1,500 word report. Word count +/- 10% is acceptable.
Your report should be an analysis of the financial performance of Tesco PLC (Company number 00445790).
Start the main body of your report with an overview of Tesco’s recent history and any significant
changes that have happened within the company.
You should calculate at least 2 financial ratios from each of the 5 types of ratios: Profitability; Efficiency; Liquidity; Financial Structure; Stock Market measures (i.e. 10 in total). For each of your 10 ratios, calculate 2 successive years’ performance – e.g. 2012 and 2013.
You should analyse and discuss any differences between the ratios calculated and suggest reasons why the figures are different. For example, if Gross Margin % has decreased, is this due to an increase in costs, or a decrease in revenue? If costs have increased, might this be to increase oil prices? Remember to back up statements with evidence (referenced appropriately) and logical, reasoned argument. You may wish to also use a ratio from a company in a similar market, or a competitor to Whitbread and draw appropriate conclusions.
Repetitive statements along the lines of “It’s because of the recession” will not be rewarded! Try and
be more creative, original, and THINK!
Referencing
In your assignment, you should ensure that you cite and reference all your sources properly, according to the Harvard convention.
If you have doubts about how to use this convention, refer to the document at http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/studysupport/69049.htm
You should include references to all cited sources in a single list at the end of the assignment.

Comparison of Centralized and Decentralized Logistics
$55.00by Fiverr TutorsCommon ways to limit the topic include selecting a particular industry, considering a type of product, and domestic versus international logistics.
You should develop a goal in developing the research paper. This goal will also help you narrow the topic and identify where you want to focus your research.
Some examples of goals include:
1. Recognize the importance of strategic logistical issues and their relationship to attainment of supply chain objectives.
2. Measure the environmental forces, trends, and strategic issues facing organizations in both the public, private and non-profit sectors so that students can devise logistics strategies that can deal with these circumstances.
3. Apply the evolving concepts of supply chain management and how the logistics function is expanding into a larger and more proactive role in managing the complete materials cycle. Students will be challenged to devise logistics strategies that mutually support the organization’s marketing and financial efforts.
4. Recognize the importance of internal and external partnering and how logistics organizations are devising strategies where logistics plays a key role within the organization.
5. Devise logistics strategies that consider overall cost of ownership, quality, best value, and optimal inventory objectives.
6. Devise logistics strategies for use of third-party logistics service providers for fulfilling requirements.
7. Recognize trends in international logistics and what factors logistics professionals should consider in planning international logistics options.
8. Apply the broader responsibilities of logistics so that they can contribute to ethical organizational practices, meeting environmental objectives, and improve the attainment of socio-economic programs.
9. Devise a futuristic perspective of what logistics will be like in the next century by examining trends and research on the knowledge and skill requirements for the logistics in the next decade.
10. Recognize the importance of logistics in dealing with natural and humanitarian disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina or war.
11. The course goals / objects are also another source of topic ideas. As previously mentioned, these goals are not topics per se. Instead, your topic should be a sub-set to meet one of the goals. For example, a research paper topic based upon item number 2 above may be: “Comparing the logistical challenges facing for-profit organization and non-profit agencies after a natural disaster.”
Evidence of Research:
Your paper should provide evidence that you’ve read the literature that’s included in the bibliography of the paper. This can be done by referencing works throughout the paper or quoting an author in the text.

Significance for financial economics concept of arbitrage
$35.00by Fiverr TutorsFinancial Economics: Significance of Arbitrage
Coursework topic
Write response to the following question. Observe the instructions detailed below.
“What is the significance for financial economics of the concept of arbitrage?”
To ensure that there are no last minute hitches, please do not leave it until the last minute. Under School of Social Sciences rules an extension of one week only can be given via the extenuating circumstances procedure, and only if supported by compelling documentary evidence. If you attempt to upload one second after the deadline the computer will “say no”. Anyone failing to submit may be given the opportunity to resit in the summer, delaying their graduation. If there are good reasons for failing to submit, the extenuating circumstances procedure should be invoked. As this module is now a core module for almost all students taking it, it cannot be compensated – so it must be passed, either on first sitting, or on resit. No second resit opportunities are permitted.
Coursework instructions
In the past, been given a mark which was the aggregate of marks obtained for the ten aspects detailed below. This is not the case now. Each will receive a single mark reflecting its quality – but the ten aspects will all be taken into consideration and failure to observe the instructions on any aspect will led to loss of marks. Failure to fulfil any aspect of the requirement for a category may result in a loss of marks directly, but it will also very likely result in the loss of further marks elsewhere. For example, if your English is poor, you are likely to lose marks for poor English, but you will inevitably lose further marks to the extent that it obscures your meaning.
