The Balanced Score card is a proprietary mechanism for measuring and driving business performance. I worked as a business relationship manager for Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) Hawaii and every quarter our senior executives would get and talk about the organization's Balance Scorecard measures and current metrics and how they were working to improve those metrics. Generally speaking the metrics fell in to four buckets: Financial Perspectives, Customer Perspectives Learning, and Internal Business. One of my teammates mate a stellar observation and took it right to Mike Gold, the Chief Operations Officer at the time. She noted that these measures individually did capture to some degree the effectiveness of various business units and their varied attempts and projects intended to move the company to greater scores on the score card. But her killer observation was that each of these objects was neither very compelling on its own nor were they linked to the other business objectives or units. So in effect we had four areas that were not operating either in harmony nor necessarily towards our common corporate objective which was to provide excellent health coverage to the people of Hawaii. It was like being in a boat with paddlers all paddling in slightly different directions and different rates. Who knew where it would end up? The COO charge six of us to take on the project of remaking the entire thing. This project was secret and we reported only to a single senior Vice President and the Chief Operations Officer, we did not inform our Chief Information Officer whom we all reported to directly. Over the course of 18 months we studied the data and were able to come up with a singular objective. To become the U.S. News and World Reports top healthcare insurance company in the country. This was an enormous goal as we were a relatively small BCBS. We would use U.S. News and World Reports objective metrics as our baselines which conveniently covered the areas with in the Balanced Scorecard. Further,we wanted to be top 10% in recognized areas within each domain and tied in improving the health metrics of our customers along with bending the cost curve associated with the growing rate costs of providing health insurance. The end result of this deep dive into the data was a unified goal which we branded The Drive to 75. The 75 was the 75th anniversary of the company and this was a five year objective. Goal we completed our work the data was shared with the board of directors and then later presented by the COO to the company's leadership. Our team ended up creating an innovation center. And the company changed its direction and worked to have all the team paddle the boat in the same direction.

Being in the Active Duty military and more specifically being an Electronic Combat Officer gives me access to quite a bit of data on enemy systems as well as what we collected. Specifically I work in collecting and identifying various emitters and emissions from air and ground sites. I collect data to pass to intel to help with identifying enemy capabilities and characteristics as well as identifying what particular emitters are in the theatre. This helps with both targeting and threat management. I use this data to inform other players in the area what enemy systems are active and emitting and push that out so that everyone has the same 'picture' of what is going on. There is a massive list of parametrics I use generally, from frequency and so forth and other classified information/statistics.
- Business research can be defined as a process of acquiring detailed information of all the areas of business and using such information in maximizing the sales and profit of the business.
- Business statistics is the science of good decision making in the face of uncertainty and is used in many disciplines such as econometrics,auditing and production/automation including services improvement and marketing research
When it comes to business, decision models are the unique representation of business logic. These 3 are very important for business for many reasons. For starters, not doing any research is foolish. Not knowing the marketspace or anything is just asking for a loss of money. Relying on statistics can show various critical information points, such as who is buying products from you. And decisions models help streamline decisions and free up time.

In today's world, establishing a solid supply chain network regarded as one of the main factors for getting a successful competitive edge. Companies are now participating in systems for manufacturer rationalization and restructuring. In most commodities such systems promote single-sourcing. A single supplier company has the advantage of providing socially compatible actions and reacts at a much quicker rate that is not found with multi-supplier organizations. Similar to multi-supplier organizations, a single manufacturer organization is more cost-effective and requires less processing time. During cases of emergencies, a single supplier company will have minimal choices while a multi-supplier entity has alternative solutions to look with to fulfill the requirement. A single source company restricts the enterprise to a single commodity, while different suppliers will potentially extend and make choices. By opting to use a few suppliers, the company will establish long-term relationships with its suppliers (Vonderembse, 2013). "These partnerships allow both parties to work together to better incorporate the supply chain and to establish approaches that can increase efficiency and minimize costs" (Vonderembse, 2013, p. 123). The manufacturer and the company will work together to decide what exactly the component will be doing and how it will function. This may be counterproductive to the company and the customer, depending on the number of components purchased by a particular manufacturer.
