1.2 Please give the example of the compensation package that you would like to provide to Manager and Director position

Manager Position

In the class we discussed three types of performance: In-role task performance, organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs), and counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs).

For this extra-credit assignment (this is only an opportunity, not a mandatory assignment), think about your performance to be a successful student in our HRM class. Explain how you can be a high performer in this class regarding each of the three dimensions of performance. Like we did in class for the example of a restaurant server, for each dimension, write down 5 specific ways (1-2 sentences per way) in which you can be a high performer in this class.

1. You have completed the Cash Flow statement. Pleased with your work so far, Barry asks you to work on an assignment for Steve Fox, relating to a different Regal subsidiary, Phrygian Equipment Capital. Phrygian has two business segments that are reported separately in its financial statements. The segments are “machinery” and “investment and Insurance.” In its management accounts, the company reports four different divisional results. The four divisions are machinery leasing, machinery sales, investments, and insurance. The results of the segments and the divisions follow:

Steve has asked you for a technical analysis on how Phrygian should report its segment information, under IAS 14, as of its year-end of December 31, 2017

java programing project

Implement a program that computes the Fibonacci of a specified number, the factorial of a specified number, or estimates the value of 'e' using the specified number of iterations (of a Taylor series). Please feel free to use the Internet to find resources that explain how to estimate the value of 'e' using a Taylor series.

In the case of no or invalid number of parameters, the program should show help instructions that looks like:

--- Assign 1 Help ---
  -fib [N] : Compute the Fibonacci of N; valid range [0, 40]
  -fac [N] : Compute the factorial of N; valid range, [0, 2147483647]
  -e [N] : Compute the value of 'e' using N iterations; valid range [1, 2147483647]

Example command-line usages of the program look like:

java Assign1 -fib 6
java Assign1 -fac 6
java Assign1 -e 24
java Assign1 -fib 6 -fac 6 -e 24
java Assign1 -fib 6 -fib 10

Example output from correct and incorrect command-line arguments:

java Assign1 -fib 6 -fib 8 -fac 10 -fac 0 -e 10 -e 100

Fibonacci of 6 is 13
Fibonacci of 8 is 34
Factorial of 10 is 3628800
Factorial of 0 is 1
Value of e using 10 iterations is 2.7182815255731922
Value of e using 100 iterations is 2.7182818284590450

java Assign1 -fib 6 -fib 50 -fac 0 -e 10 -e 0

Fibonacci of 6 is 13
Fibonacci valid range is [0, 40]
Factorial of 0 is 1
Value of e using 10 iterations is 2.7182815255731922
Valid e iterations range is [1, 2147483647]

java Assign1 -abc 123

Unknown command line argument: -abc

Your program should be able to handle any number of requested computations. Additionally, it should be able to handle the same computation request more than one time on a single command line; refer to the example command-line usages above.

Additional Notes

• Valid input ranges
  • Fibonacci input range is: 0 to 40
  • Factorial input range is: 0 to largest Java Integer
  • Iterations range for the 'e' [n] parameter is: 1 to largest Java Integer
• For computing the Fibonacci, use the sequence beginning with 1; 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...
• Place all of your code in a single .java file named Assign1.java.
• You should use BigInteger for the factorial computation
• You should use BigDecimal for the e computation: documentation

Team Case #3: Rural Utility

Your consulting team has been brought in by the Board chairperson to assist an organization in developing a key leader. The Board is concerned with Audrey, the current senior executive of their rural public utility company with 185 employees. The company is 76% male and 24% female, and their previous executive, Hugh Davis (who retired), had a very collaborative leadership style – a real contrast from Audrey, who is very task-focused and directive. The average employee tenure is 9 years, and many have been here 12 or more years. Audrey has been in her position for about 18 months now, having been recruited by the Board from outside the organization. It was a shock to many employees that she was hired, because many believed Jake, one of their managers, should be given that role (Jake is no longer with the organization, having accepted a new opportunity elsewhere two months after Audrey began).

Audrey has extensive experience with a similar organization in a much larger metro area, though she left her previous leadership position – which she held for 12 years – under a cloud of rumors about an affair with a colleague. Since her arrival, her employees seem to be split between those who support her completely and those who believe she was a major hiring mistake.

Over the past year, several employees (including several managers) have been contacting Board members complaining about Audrey’s performance. Board members are aware of the declining morale among both managers and employees, and are concerned that the organization has lost many valuable people in the past year. They have heard that even more are actively looking for a new workplace.

The Board has done some investigating on their own and have heard the following:

• Most administrative staff support Audrey, and believe others don’t like the fact that Audrey is a woman or that she comes from a metropolitan rather than rural area.
• Audrey “plays favorites” and is likely to come down hard on some people for rule infractions but turns a blind eye when others do the same things. Others say that she’s just cracking down on people with a reputation for being ‘slackers.’
• She is often late for project meetings or management updates, by as much as two hours, without letting people know that she will be late. Sometimes she skips meetings completely and does not apologize or explain afterwards.
• Audrey has achieved some great financial results so far by reducing their costs and increasing revenue by raising customer rates. Board members generally view these as hard but necessary actions; employees and managers find themselves struggling with tighter budgets and having to diffuse angry customers.
• Many employees are still angry that Audrey laid several people off during her first year here – a move they believe was unnecessary and that was motivated because “she just didn’t like them.”
• She is viewed by many as a micro-manager, often questioning managers’ decisions or looking over someone’s shoulder as they order office supplies or distribute mail.
• Many complain that the rules “don’t apply to her” – that she often comes in late to work, and ‘hides’ to avoid dealing with people’s issues or concerns. Audrey herself says that what time she arrives should be of no concern to people, since she often works from home early in the morning or late at night. She describes that she wants people to make good decisions themselves and not rely on her for everything.

Audrey believes she has a collaborative approach to working with her managers, but you have learned that many of them see her as arrogant, rude, condescending, and domineering, and sometimes over-stepping her authority by taking actions without consulting the Board. Others believe she does not listen to their point of view and takes credit for their work.

Board members are tired of people calling or emailing them to complain about her. They would like to retain her because of her technical expertise and business acumen. However, they are considering terminating her because of the negativity she has aroused.

The Board has hired your team to advise them. What seems to be going on here, resulting in increased turnover and low morale? What might account for the differences of opinion as described by employees? And most importantly, what will you recommend (e.g., actions, development opportunities) to help this organization and increase Audrey’s leadership capacity (though she believes she needs no help and people should just get used to the fact that she leads differently than Hugh)? Be specific in your recommendations, and be sure to back them up with evidence.

1. Analysis of the problem: What seems to be going on in this case—what is the leadership and/or performance problem to be addressed? Why might the challenges presented in the case be happening? o Be sure to consider to what extent there are multiple perspectives from which to view or understand this case.

B. Based on your analysis, determine a course of action to address the challenges as comprehensively as you can. o Identify recommended actions. o For each recommendation made, provide the rationale (evidence-based) and a statement as to what will likely result from this recommended action (what problem(s) it will help to resolve). o If there are potential risks or unintended consequences of a particular course of action, make this explicit and indicate further actions that may help mitigate this risk.

In C programming using C11 library, how can we validate command line arguments?

meaning for example if we input "./math 65 45 2.3 1 0 68" into the terminal, how can we validate that the numbers "65 45 2.3 1 0 68" are floats and not chars? In other terms the program should display and error message if the command line arguments are not floats and if they are floats, the program carries on as usual.

In Java

1. Create a class called "TestZoo" that holds your main method.
2. Write the code in main to create a number of instances of the objects. Create a number of animals and assign a cage and a diet to each. Use a string to specify the diet.
3. Create a zoo object and populate it with your animals. Declare the Animal object in zoo as
   Animal[] animal = new Animal[3] and add the animals into this array. Note that this zoo holds only 3 animals.
4. Use a "for" loop to print the following:
   I am Laila the lion and I live in cage 1. I eat fresh meat.
   I am Hahn the hawk and I live in cage 2. I eat rodents.
   I am Deepak the deer and I live in cage 2. I eat fresh grass.
5. Create a UML diagram of this zoo using boxes to represent each class : Add the relevant instance variables for each class. Indicate your associations and whether they are aggregation or composition. Indicate the one-to-many, one-to-one, etc. relationships.
6. Instance variables would include String animalType, String animalName, String cageType, and String animalFood,

You are interested in buying a house and renting it out. You expect to receive a monthly net income of $1,500 from rent. You then expect to sell the house for $300,000 at the end of 60 months. If your discount rate on this investment is 0.8% per month, what is this property worth to you today? Assume that you receive rent at the beginning of each month and you receive the first rent the same day you purchase the property. Round to the nearest cent. ​[Hint: Notice that the interest rate provided is monthy, so this is i/m. Also, 60 months is nxm.]
