Turning Ethopia into china's China: Why are Chinese companies investing in Africa?

Remember a few months ago when I mentioned that we would really like to open another location for our business? Well, the time has come.

I have found the perfect location, it is in a good location to attract customers and the price is right for a one year lease! The only problem is that the unit we are considering renting is a bit of a mess and needs significant repair from the damage done by the last tenants. The landlord has offered to do some of it, however, we are going to have to replace the flooring entirely, add a reception area including a countertop and desk area and install some heavy-duty shelving in the backroom to hold our supplies.

These renovations would have a significant cost to them and I am a bit concerned about outlaying that amount of capital in this circumstance. Can you please explain if we should be concerned about this and include any recommendations you may have on how to proceed?

Finally, it has become so popular I’m getting a bit concerned that someone is going to try and use our name and marketing slogan. Can you please explain if there is any way we can protect this and provide any details you can talk about the process and timing by property law?

The most widely asked and most widely feared interview question is, "Tell me about yourself." Knowing this question is coming, you should each have a succinct, thoughtful, and meaningful response prepared. This short personal selling statement is often referred to as an elevator pitch because it could be delivered in the span of an elevator ride. Once mastered, this pitch can be used in job interviews, as the basis for cover letters or email introductions, at career fairs, or in more informal social settings. For this assignment, you should deliver a one-minute pitch to help you make a good first impression. You will submit a VIDEO file delivering your message to the audience through the camera (when delivering a video message remember: eye contact is still just as important as in face-to-face interactions, you should select a clear wall or area for the background, you should eliminate background noise or interference, you should center your face in the frame of the screen, etc.). You should use the company and industry knowledge you have gained to frame your qualifications and assets. Your textbook highlights five key parts of an elevator speech: Hook (attention getter) + Information about you What you have to offer Benefits; What is in it for the audience An example or anecdote to summarize A call to action.

a) Calculate mean duration and standard deviation for all the activities using the beta distribution. [4pts]
  
b) Construct a network diagram for this problem using the mean durations calculated in part (a), calculate the LS(Foll.), ES(Prec.) and total float for all the activities, and hence identify the critical path . What is the mean completion time for the project? What is the standard deviation of the critical path? [30 pts ]
  
c) What is the 92% confidence interval for the length of the critical path? [4 pts]
  
d) Assuming the probability distribution of the length of the critical path can be approximated by a normal distribution with the mean and standard deviation calculated in part (b), calculate the probability of completing the project within 42 weeks. [4 pts]

e) Calculate the probability of completing the project between 35 and 40 weeks? [4 pts]
  
f) Answer the project manager’s question: “I want to tell the client that there is a 10.03% chance the project will take longer than X weeks _{- what figure should I give them (i.e. find X)?” [4]}

Assembly Line Assignment:

This week you are going to design and balance an assembly line. We are going to take the simple task of making cupcakes, break the work up into stations, calculate cycle times for each station, balance the work load between stations, and calculate the efficiency of the operation. The steps for the assignment are below.

1)Design an assembly line to manufacture cupcakes from scratch.

2)Balance the assembly line.

3)Measure the efficiency.

Assignment Format: The best way to do this is Excel. You can use cell borders and insert shapes to build the assembly line. Use the math functions in Excel to balance your line and calculate efficiencies. The final report should be in Word in APA format. Use the following sections.

1)Introduction-how you set up the line, what is done at each station and cycle time. You can cut and paste in your diagram from Excel.

2)Line Balance-what you did to balance the line, you can copy in your Excel work if needed.

3)Efficiency-provide and analyze the operational efficiency.

Leadership defined: In your own words, define what successful leadership is and how leadership and management differ in an office setting. Consider what successful leadership “looks like” to you.

One unit of A is made of three units of B, one unit of C, and two units of D. B is composed of two units of E and one unit of D. C is made of one unit of B and two units of E. E is made of one unit of F. Items B, C, E, and F have one-week lead times; A and D have lead times of two weeks. Assume that lot-for-lot (L4L) lot sizing is used for Items A, B, and F; lots of size 55, 55, and 200 are used for Items C, D, and E, respectively. Items C, E, and F have on-hand (beginning) inventories of 10, 50, and 160, respectively; all other items have zero beginning inventory. We are scheduled to receive 10 units of A in Week 2, 60 units of E in Week 1, and also 50 units of F in Week 1. There are no other scheduled receipts. If 32 units of A are required in Week 8, use the low-level-coded bill-of-materials to find the necessary planned-order releases for all components. Develop an MRP planning schedule showing gross and net requirements and order release and order receipt dates.
