The two owners of a chain of 100 convenience stores seek to improve sales by reducing employee turnover in the stores. The 100 stores are located in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Oklahoma. Of the $200 million in Gross Sales, turnover costs $4 million annually in lost sales, shortages, training, etc. The owners feel culture is a major problem for the high turnover, along with theft and lethargy among employees in problem stores. If you were to consult with the owners, how does the definition of “culture” and “corporate culture” best help the owners achieve their goal? Do you believe the turnover, theft, and lethargy problems with employees to be more visible or more invisible elements of culture?

Create an Excel spreadsheet that will generate random numbers based on the following probability distributions. You can keep the answers to (a) (b) and (c) on the same spreadsheet. If I click on F9 key, the random numbers must be refreshed.

a. Use Excel generic function to generate randomly 50 observations following a general discrete distribution described in the table below. To keep things compact, you don’t need to put the 50 random numbers down one column, instead put them in rectangle region (e.g., 5 columns by 10 rows or 10 columns by 5 rows).

b. Use Excel generic function to randomly generate 10 observations following a normal distribution with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 15, and use ROUND() to round these random numbers to the nearest integer.

c. Use Excel generic function to randomly generate 10 observations following a symmetric triangular distribution (50, 65, 80), and use ROUND() to round these random numbers to the nearest integer.

12. Create a class called bMoney. It should store money amounts as long doubles. Use the function mstold() to convert a money string entered as input into a long double, and the function ldtoms() to convert the long double to a money string for display. (See Exercises 6 and 10.) You can call the input and output member functions getmoney() and putmoney(). Write another member function that adds two bMoney amounts; you can call it madd(). Adding bMoney objects is easy: Just add the long double member data amounts in two bMoney objects. Write a main() program that repeatedly asks the user to enter two money strings, and then displays the sum as a money string. Here’s how the class specifier might look:

    class bMoney
        {

        private:
            long double money;

        public:
            bMoney();

            bMoney(char s[]);
            void madd(bMoney m1, bMoney m2);
            void getmoney();
            void putmoney();

};

Scenario: You are the assistant superintendant for a high-rise building contractor who specializes in governmental building contracts. Your company, based in Baltimore, MD, was just successful in winning a new job in NY City. This will be your first job in the big apple and your boss, the superintendent "Sam Super" is concerned about recent crane problems that he has been reading about.

He asks for your opinion about the crane safety and crane operations management.

You respond to Sam, wanting to make a good impression, that you will do some research and present him with a report on the topic. Same says "that's a good idea, college boy" and you agree to get to work on it. Knowing that Sam has a famously short attention span you decide to present your research in a concise one-page format.

Instruction:

• Research the topic of crane safety and crane operations management as follows:
  • Google news articles available with a keyword of "crane accident"
  • Read several crane accident related articles
  • Summarize at least two articles with your opinion to create a good report for Sam
  • In the report, put references of the articles that you refer to.
• Submit a one-page report as a Word file to Sam (the word count of your report should be no less than 400) in order to give him a current perspective on crane safety and issues
  • DO NOT cut and paste any portions of the articles into your report. Write the report in your own words based on your research of the articles.
