Significant research has been completed regarding the importance of effective preparation of principals as school leaders and fundamental changes in the school environment.

1. Curriculum Design - Principals are faced with the critical task of assigning teachers in different grades which includes special need teachers as well to teach curriculum that is comprehensive and more encompassing. While assigning grades principle has to check whether he /she is assigning the experienced or the best teachers for each grade.
2. Parental Involvement - One of the biggest frustrations faced by principals is that parental involvement is lacking to support the institution’s effort towards improving student achievement. It has both positive and negative impacts for having parents’ involvement in the school. For instance, the negative impact could be interfering the decisions taken by the principles.

3. Communication & Collaboration - Principals and staff spend so much energy on building relationships with students, teachers, and staff. This relationship could be fruitful if the school has review programs twice in a term where teachers could freely convey their concerns to the principle. Therefore, it’s good to have communication between the teachers and the principle. This will lead to have a collaborative working environment for the subordinators.
4. Decision-making - Principals’ decisions and strategies are critically important to institutional performance. They are accountable for high levels of student achievement. Teachers and parents have to listen and follow the decisions taken by the principle.

Wildcat Gym, with its 3 branches located in Central New York, wants to assign three recently hired health consultants - Todd, Josh, and Nina - to its 3 branches in Cortland, Auburn, and Oneonta. It is clearly indicated from its Headquarters that none of these three consultants will be assigned to the same locations.

The relocate costs are shown here in the table.

Part a) The Headquarters is trying to find the optimal assignment of personnel to these 3 branches with a minimal relocate cost. Use the network concept and create a network program for the above problem. Make sure you define the variables used and clearly list the objective function and constraints. You do not need to solve the program.

Part b) Later the Headquarters received an update that Todd has left Wildcat Gym and now works for a different company. How will you modify your above program to reflect this update?

Describe THREE (3) categories of e-commerce revenue models with ONE (1) real-life example for each model. Below are the guidelines of answer. DO NOT use guidelines below as the answer of question.

Answer:

First let me list the three :
1. Affiliate marketing
2. Online advertising
3. Transaction fees
Explanation:
1. Affiliate marketing enables you to earn revenue by marketing or offering another product for sale on your site. For example, you may reference a book you read and recommend your customers get a copy for themselves. You could also set up an affiliate account and place a direct link to the book on the Amazon site, which will pay you a percentage of the sale. If you decide to participate in affiliate marketing, you\'ll need to research which companies might provide you with a financial incentive for promoting their sites on your page.
When you\'re just starting out, the money you earn from affiliate marketing may be just a small, supplemental amount. However, as traffic to your site increases, you may enjoy more substantial income.
2. Online advertising is a very popular revenue model for e-commerce businesses. In this method, companies or organizations buy advertising space on your site, provide a designed ad or written message, and then pay you for promoting their messages. Media sites, such as magazines, newspapers, and television channels typically use online advertising.
Two common types of online advertising include pay-per-click and pay-per-view, which determine how much advertisers will pay for their advertisements. While some sites charge a set fee for placing an ad, most pay a set fee for each person who clicks on a link or views a page related to the advertiser. As traffic to your site grows and more people click on an advertiser\'s link or view a related page, you\'ll earn more advertising revenue.
3. Transaction fees are the charges a company pays for using their service. If you\'ve ever sold anything on eBay, you know there\'s a set price for posting a product for sale. Each time a transaction happens, you pay a small fee to eBay for marketing your product. Whether you charge a small fee for a company to list a transaction or for someone to view a video, transaction fees can be a sizable if the traffic to the website is substantial.
Examples of the firms that use these revenue models are:
1. TDC and Orange are using Affiliate marketing .
2. Coco Cola , AMEX , Mint are using Online advertising .
3. Google (e.g. AdWords and AdSense),Facebook,New York Times (Marketing) are using Transaction fees
