Investors investing in an IPO are aware that it takes time to see a solid return/profit when a company is expanding into new ventures and that risks are involved. Most importantly, investors know that a risk has to be taken for continued growth and for the health of the company. CanGo needs to offer an IPO so that they have the funding to expand and grow. Issue 4 Hidden costs The team at CanGo hasn’t even considered what the hidden costs to the business might be if they branch out into the new projects they are currently exploring. They are not adding additional staff, equipment, or software so spreading the resources out could cause the quality of the existing products to suffer.
For example, Fernetti Conductor has a specific budget for advertising, purchasing, sales production and cash budget. Then, each budget should be compiled into a master budget for the operations of the entire company. The consequences of telling the president of gross miscalculation are as follows; 1) The sales budget predicts the number of units a company expects to sell. Therefore, by inform the President that sales projection is overstated; he can correct his statement by telling the audience the new target units that shoul be produced by the company. 2) The sales budget calculates how much the company will spend to produce the required number of units.
Businesses require a tool to measure the execution of objectives. As far as the goals of objectives they are supposed to align with a stated vision and mission. Effective objectives ensure that daily activities align with the big picture or if there will be a need to adjust redirect focus. A balanced scorecard is a tool, generated by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton. Authors Pearce and Robinson (2009) suggest, a balanced scorecard “Is a set of measures that are directly linked to the company’s strategy,” “Directs a company to link its own long-term strategy with tangible goals and actions,” and “Provides a framework to translate a strategy into operational terms” (p. 202).
One of our major goals this year is to avoid expenses. That is why there is a 10 percent reduction in personnel and administration cost. In order for us to be effective cost must be avoided.

There are reports that say the economy will grow over the next few years (2010), but there is a possibility that they could be wrong and that won’t happen. If the opposite happens and the economy hits a decline, this could really hurt the business of Keystone and many other companies for that matter. On that note, people will start looking to save money and if they can find the same product that this company offers for a cheaper price, they might just do that. The last red flag that I would see when deciding whether to select this client would be the fact that they have recently started extending credit to customers with less than perfect credit (2010). Although this could mean nothing, this could also be the beginning of a downward spiral of bad debt.
For years we have been hearing things like end poverty or some political figure talking about how ending poverty is at the top of their list, while I understand that it is a process that will probably take some time and that poverty can’t be eliminated completely and that many are actively working to eliminate poverty but its kind of sad that so little has happened in a nation where people can win millions of dollars just for scratching a ticket or guessing a set of numbers, why not use that money for something useful that could affect people on a grand scale instead of making a new millionaire every week. The lack of money can cause a plethora of other issues, crime, decline in health and extra spending on government programs, none of which can be overcome on a minimum wage job. Minimum wage should be raised because poverty is an issue that
Introduction: Production and Capacity planning is one of the key aspects of operations management as it determines the amount of goods or services which can be produced within a given time duration.

Analysis In determining the relative importance of PO fit and PJ fit when selecting candidates, the job context must be known very well. It should be considered whether the job is based on permanent or fixed contract, whether the jobs are changing ,whether it is managerial or knowledge-intensive, whether the skills required can be easily transferred (Sekiguchi, 2007), and whether the organization has a strong culture. Sekiguchi, Huber (2011)’s research reveal that PJ fit is weighed more heavily if the job is based on fixed-term contract. They stated that as the individual is working fixed-term, immediate outstanding performance should be shown and thus they have to equip with appropriate KSAs once they are hired. However, Sekiguchi and Huber (2011) stated that evaluation based on PJ fit will be less importantly weighted in permanent contract-based job, i.e.
* The potential resignation of Robert Spinks if the project is not funded. * If the project were to be funded, the extended time for development and the 30% chance that it might not be a success. 2.
