There is research relevant to the issues of effective policies, investigation processes, and what constitutes a reasonable or unreasonable failure to use an available complaint mechanism.

It represents how many people will need to come to break even. When 241 people show up, the budget will break even. Gradually, as 241 breaks even, $2410 will be our current revenue. The reason that it is 241 people and not 240 is because if you had 240 people show up, the revenue would be 2400, the cost is $2007.19 and you can’t go below budget.

Discussion Questions for Part (A) 1. Is Peter Smith micromanaging Keith Schmidt? Reading this case, I believe that Peter Smith was not trying to micromanage Keith Schmidt.

Since parties had different viewpoints on the financial abilities of the museum and the rate it should grow, they failed to cooperate to reach the results that satisfy the interests of both sides.…

Actor and TV legend Dick Van Dyke just endorsed Democratic Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders. Related; Did Ron Paul Just Endorse Bernie Sanders? Why is this important? Well for a couple reasons. For one Van Dyke is 90 years old and because he has been around and in the entertainment industry for 70 plus years he has seen his fair share of corruption and chicanery inside and outside of the industry, and maybe more importantly this is the first Presidential candidate Van Dyke has felt passionately enough about to publicly endorse in almost 50 years.…

As we have seen earlier the business has developed a new product but has no idea how many units to produce. The best estimate is to get the input of the sales team who collates all the potential sales volumes from their respective customers and then build it up to get a total volume of units required.

People are very hesitant and don’t want to commit of a picture or a catalogue.…
