Below is the linear programming for the Shortest Path Problem.

Considering the second contraint in the mathematical model :

∑ixji−∑ixij=0∀j≠s,j≠t

What is the logic behind this contraint?

To make sure there is only one solution

To make sure that the path is connected between the nodes

To make sure the variable stays binary

This contraint is redundant and not necessary

In conducting interviews and observing factory operations to implement an activity-based costing system, you determine that several activities are unnecessary or redundant. For example, warehouse personnel was inspecting purchased components as they were received at the loading dock. Later that day, the components were inspected again on the shop floor before being installed in the final product. Both of these activities caused costs to be incurred but were not adding value to the product. If you include this observation in your report, one or more employees who perform inspections will likely lose their jobs. Page 804

Required

1. As a plant employee, what is your responsibility to report your findings to superiors?
2. Should you attempt to determine if the redundancy is justified? Explain.
3. What is your responsibility to the employees whose jobs will likely be lost because of your report?
4. What facts should you consider before making your decision to report or not??

A chief executive officer (CEO) of Coronavirus Zambia Limited, Fwenkhu
Fwenkhu said: ‘Strategic management concept is ridiculous, archaic and,
therefore redundant in a modern dynamic business environment; and talking
about such in a modern business is displaying how foolish someone is.’
Agreeing with Fwenkhu Fwenkhu, Kandiyo Kanga, in her usual emotional
tone, said this is why there is no difference between Strategic planning and
Strategic implementation. Confused with what Fwenkhu Fwenkhu and
Kandiyo Kanga have stated, most of the organisations have stopped
formulating strategic plans for their respective organisations. And as a result,
no business strategies are formulated.
TASK:
As a strategic management consultant,
(a) Show whether strategic management is necessarily or not in line with
the above given arguments.

(b) With relevant examples, argue for or against that perception that
strategic planning and strategic implementation are never the same.

(c) If strategic management works, under what conditions of an
organisation can such be helpful to an organisation?

Write CREATE TABLE and INSERT INTO statements in order to create and populate five tables in Oracle’s SQL*Plus.The information you need about the database ARE IN THE CHARTS BELOW.

Each worksheet includes the following information about its associated table:

➢ Column names (for example, the jr_order table contains the orderID, customerID, orderDate, orderStatus, and orderShippedDate columns);

➢ Column data types (for example, orderID is INT, orderStatus is VARCHAR2(2), etc.);

➢ Column constraints, if any (for example, orderID in the jr_order table is a primary key,

supplierName in the jr_supplier table is NOT NULL, etc.); and

➢ All values (i.e., the data).

Example INSERT code for each table

[Note that each of these INSERT INTO statements corresponds to the first row in its respective Excel worksheet!]

Example INSERT code for the xx_customer table

INSERT INTO jr_customer (

customerID, customerLastName, customerFirstName,

customerCity, customerState, customerZIP, customerEmail,

jr_customerPhoneNum ) VALUES (1,'Alexander','Michael',

'Highland Heights','KY','41076','[email protected]',NULL) ;

Example INSERT code for the xx_supplier table

INSERT INTO jr_supplier (

supplierID, supplierName, supplierCity, supplierState,

supplierContactName, supplierContactTitle, supplierContactEmail )

VALUES (1,'Reaper','Denton',’TX’,

'John Franklin','Product Marketing Manager','[email protected]') ;

Example INSERT code for the xx_order table

INSERT INTO jr_order (

orderID, customerID, orderDate, orderStatus, orderShippedDate )

VALUES (1,1,TO_DATE('2018-03-01','yyyy-mm-dd'),'SP',

TO_DATE('2018-03-04','yyyy-mm-dd') ) ;

Example INSERT code for the xx_product table

INSERT INTO jr_product (

productCode, supplierID, productName, suggestedPrice,

unitsInStock, unitsOnOrder, discontinued ) VALUES

('IM511',2,'Cloaked Assassin',4.95,4,1,'N') ;

Example INSERT code for the xx_orderLine table

INSERT INTO jr_orderLine (

orderLineID, orderID, productCode, quantity, unitPrice )

VALUES (1,1,'IM511',1,5.49) ;
