Budget case

The Budget Case 

This case is designed to evaluate the budget process at a large manufacturing company. The learning objectives of this case study are as follows: 

  1. Use the budget to make decisions. 
  2. Identify how budgeting is used by leadership for planning and control. 
  3. Discuss ethical considerations in the budget process. 

You have just been hired at ABC Manufacturing, and your supervisor has invited you to sit in on today’s budget meeting. You are given a copy of the following proposed budget for next year to review. The budget is being used by ABC to plan for next year. Your supervisor tells you right before the meeting, “We always overestimate because the president always makes us cut the budget by 20%, and besides, I really want to go to that conference in Las Vegas next year.” He continued,” I have really worked hard this year and put in a lot of overtime so I deserve it.”

Prepare a one- to two-page written report by addressing the following tasks: 

  1. Discuss if you think ABC Manufacturing is properly using the budget process to plan for next year’s expenses. 
  2. Discuss the comment about the president cutting the budget each year in terms of proper leadership and control? 
  3. Discuss the ethical issues related to inflating the budget. 

Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.

Discussion 2: Job Attitudes and Social Change

 

We live in an interconnected world where global events can and often do shape the nature of work. All organizations are continually impacted by forces of change—from within and from without. The vicissitudes of the economy, new technology, and even management styles can have profound effects on the world of work and, consequently, the well-being of employees. Many organizational factors have been found to affect job attitudes and, as a result, employee performance and organizational effectiveness.

Multimodal Project

 

In addition to writing your Researched Argument paper, based on the topic you chose for Literature Review, you will also repurpose it for a non-academic audience by completing a multimodal project. Unlike your research project, which relies heavily on text as its primary mode, as the term multimodal implies, you will use multiple modes of communication to reach your intended audience.

You will submit a short proposal in the Week 14 Discussion detailing how you plan to approach this project and what methods of communication you will utilize. Here are some guidelines for what I will be looking for: the project must be polished, substantial, engaging, and thoughtful, must use at least two modes of communication, and must make sense given your intended audience.

 Five Modes of CommunicationVisual – typeface, lines, shapes, background, color, transitions, quality of images, visual  coherence, repetition, contrast

Audio – intonation of spoken words, sound effects, ambient noise, music, volume, silence,  transitions from different audio clips

Gestural – facial expressions, gestures, body language

Spatial – line spacing, navigation, transitions, size of page, size of photos, proximity of photos and other elements to each other, line length, visual salience, white space, visual organization, alignment

Linguistic – written text or spoken words/narration, word choice, delivery, organization of ideas 

 

Here are some possible ideas for creating your multimodal project:

Podcast–Interview people whom your audience would find credible, reliable, and knowledgeable about the issue for a podcast or simple recreate your argument and evidence using the podcast medium (if you create a podcast, you will also need to create a “script” that includes images and text.

Photo Essay–Create a photo essay on the issue (you must take your own photos). If you choose this option, you can also put them into Adobe Spark Glide and add words and sound, which could include narration or music, or both. 

Video–(Use Adobe Video, Youtube, your smart phone, or any other video software that your can share without a requirement to ‘create an account’). Create a short video (3-5 min.) on the issue that moves beyond simply stating what the problem is, but uses graphics, clips, images, voice over, interview, on-site clips, text, etc. 

Adobe or WordPress or another webpage software–Create a site or utilize social media with multiple pages that includes text, videos, images, graphs, etc.

Adobe Spark Glideshow–Another Adobe product that allows you to add images, videos, text, etc. see:How to make a GlideShow page on Adobe Spark  (Links to an external site.)
Minimize VideoYou have free access to the entire Adobe Suite as a U student and you can utilize it to create an ad or PSA with strong visual features.

Write/Illustrate a short story: This can be a narrative or a collection of poetry. Potential drawings must demonstrate quality in terms of visual appeal, i.e. there are words, color, is in book format–in Microsoft Word or Adobe’s InDesign you can also create a booklet spread that mimics a book.

A Poster: Create a poster about your topic and argument, utilizing textual and visual elements. You can also utilize Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign or construct it by hand.

Create a Software Module for A New Inventory Application

  

An aerospace company has decided to update their technology to something more modern and efficient. The segment of the task that requires your attention is in regard to the inventory system. This system will need to collect information and store it into a database for each aircraft. This particular segment focuses on the wheel assembly.

Description: An aerospace company, called AAC, is restructuring its internal technology processes. AAC is a large corporation that develops and assembles airplanes and cutting-edge craft for several markets, including commercial and defense. These craft include large passenger jets, attack aircraft, as well as spaceflight technologies.

The company has chosen to create a new database system to manage its incredibly large and complex parts inventory.

You work as an application software designer for an international corporation that has received the contract to create the system, IBN. You are the primary designer and business interface between IBN and AAC. You will design the User Interfaces that will be implemented.

IBN’s specialists have already determined which software language and database that the application will be created with. In addition, they have determined the first two modules that will be implemented: – Aircraft Information Entry and Wheel Assembly Subsystems.

Aircraft Basic Information Entry: These screens will allow for creating and editing of a new aircraft. It will include the aircraft name, first assembly date, chief designer, description of use, the primary customer, and a list of parts suppliers.

Wheel Assembly Subsystems: These screens will allow for the entry of all parts required for the assembly, the number on-hand, the price for the part, and a description of the part.

Deliverables:

1. You will inform AAC as to the database and software language chosen by IBN to create their new application, in written form. You must detail the reasons that this database and language were chosen, without being overly technical to the AAC Technology Committee that you will be interfacing with. 

a. A single Word document detailing these requirements is sufficient. Expert sources from Deets Library and other professional credible sources will be required to substantiate these requirements. Therefore, the sources will need to be cited to acknowledge credit for their contributions for concepts, ideas, and facts. 

2. You must develop the database for the first phase of the project, providing the data structure for Aircraft Basic Information Entry, and the Wheel Assembly Subsystems. Tables should follow standard entity-relationship industry practices.

a. Submit an entity-relationship diagram detailing data structure

b. Provide a backup file of the database with your implemented data structure

3. You must develop and deliver the operational front-end that allows for the entry of the data into the first phase screens, in the language that you choose. It must be operational and connect to the database that you created in Deliverable #2.

a. Provide all code and files in zip archive, required to run the project

4. You must provide the above documentation from Deliverable #1, with installation instructions for implementing your First Phase deliverables for items #2 and #3.

a. Provide installation instructions to implement the system. This can be a single Word document

Discussion new

Answer the Discussion Board board questions in paragraph form.

1.     Give examples of implied and express consent to medical treatment in a hospital emergency room situation.

2.     A patient has just been informed by the physician that she must have a hysterectomy and that there is a question of malignancy. As she leaves the office and you schedule her for hospital admission, she comments: “The doctor makes me feel so good about this. She says that I will be out of the hospital in four days and on my own within a week. Isn’t she a wonderful person? She says that I will be completely cured following my surgery.” How would you handle this situation?

3.     A 16-year-old male comes to the office without an appointment and asks to see the physician because he thinks that he has AIDS. He does not wish to give you his name, parents’ names, or address. You have seen him around town and know that he is a local resident. The physician is not available, but you expect her within an hour. As the agent of the physician, what is your responsibility in this situation?
