    These challenges include, inappropriate design, inadequate resources and time, lack of clearly outlined goals and plans and inadequate cooperation among team members. Individuals tasked with handing the above-mentioned challenges did not communicate and cooperate with each other in an appropriate manner. The situation would have been different if the project had a strong and competent management team. For instance, lack of White House support made the situation worse as those in charge had no one to look up to for guidance. Therefore, the complexity of this project required commitment from both the Whitehouse and those mandated implementing it.…

    “Alabama Agriculture: Sustaining Future Generations” A traditional definition of sustainable development is development that meets our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. This definition is the recognition of the rights of future generation - the right to achieve a sustainable level of development and the right to be able to utilize natural resources. The goals of economic and social development must be defined in terms of sustainability in all countries - developed or developing, market-oriented or centrally planned. Elucidations will vary, but must share certain general features and must flow from an agreement on the basic concept of sustainable development and on a broad strategic framework for achieving it.…

The project was tailored such that it would reduce the administrative burden of approximately 280 technicians currently working in the United States. In reducing the administrative burden, there was not only a cost savings for reducing labor but also the added benefit of being able to have minable data in the Oracle database. With the project charter in hand, I sat down with the IT professionals to work through the details of how we would accomplish this task and still continue to manage the day to day business operations.…

    The following analysis is conducted based on the information provided by B. Wilder on December 11, 2005, regarding a potential purchase of the South Face Mine from Mountain Mining Canada Limited (MMCL). The purpose of the analysis is to provide a better understanding of the potential risks and offer the best estimate of our actuarial recommendation. Engineers and financial analysts at Can-Do estimated that the cost savings through a combination of improved surface logistics and optimal location of new drift mines could result in approximately $1.5 million savings the first year and will increase with inflation over the next 20 years. We calculated the present value of future financial benefits under our assumption of 6% discount rate and…

    It would be difficult for the future to reach sustainability due to the limited capacity of the environment as it would be lower than it is today. This leads to the second dimension of sustainability, economy. “As environmental sustainability, does not allow economic growth much less sustained economic growth, it is difficult to have sustainable development and improvement in the quality of human life within the capacity of environment” (Goodland, p. 1). Economic growth and development consist of different concept in applying policy to the economy. “To grow” means an increase in size by the assimilation or while “to develop” means to expand the potentialities of bringing to a fuller or better state (Goodland p. 9).…
