Below is a network. Each node or router has a letter from A to P.

The cost of each link is shown in the graph. The cost of each link is in the middle of the link between the two letters. (It is a perfect grid although the links may not align completely)

The cost of some links is shown as the * symbol. The cost of each of those links correspond the first letter of your last name. If your last name starts with A then the cost of all the links that have a * is 1. If your last name starts with B then the cost of all the links that have a * is 2 (and so on). Assume that the cost of the link is the same in both directions. For example, assume that A to B is 15 and B to A is also 15.

Use the shortest path algorithm to find the shortest path from the following nodes below. For each of the following pairs write the cost of the path followed by the node sequence (example A->B->C)

1. A to   P
2. A to   N

   3.    A to   K

4. O to   A
5. H to   A

Discuss any challenges faced by leaders in promoting effective collaboration and integration efforts in the organisations.

Given the projected demands for the next six months, prepare an aggregate plan that uses inventory, regular time and overtime, and backorders. A level production cost rate of 150 units per month will be used. Backorder cost is $20 per unit, inventory holding cost is $5 per unit, regular time cost of $20 per unit, and beginning inventory is zero.

Explain the advantages to the organisations when values and behaviour of the leaders and the followers are aligned.   

1. You are in charge of a group that is very difficult to work with because the group members have little interest in doing the tasks to which they are assigned.

   1. What factor(s) you would consider as you determined what leadership style to adopt and why those factors should be considered.
   2. What leadership style you would use in this situation and why that style would be best. Hint: Consider the information provided with the PowerPoint on this topic.

Hudson Corporation is considering three options for managing its data processing operation: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing, or using a combination of its staff and an outside vendor. The profit of the corporation depends on future demand. The annual profit of each option (in thousands of dollars) depends on demand as follows: Demand Staffing Options High Median Low Own staff 650 650 600 Outside vendor 900 600 300 Combination 800 650 500 a. Construct a decision tree. b. Recommend a decision based on the use of the optimistic, conservative, and minimax regret approaches (show steps). c. If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, respectively for High, Median, and Low demands, use the expected value approach to determine the optimal decision (show steps)
