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).
P3-With examples, you are to describe the main physical and technological resources required in the operation of your selected organisation.

Network devices provide a way for a computer or device to physically connect to the network via cable or media. The components of network devices are what allow a device to transmit and receive data. As a network becomes more complex, internetwork devices are used to connect between networks as well as networks using different protocols. Within every device is a network interface card (NIC) or network adapter. The NIC provides the physical connection between the device and the network (Ciccarelli, et al 2013).

A personal area network - PAN - is a computer network organized around an individual person. Personal area networks typically involve a mobile computer, a cell phone and/or a handheld computing device such as a PDA.
Given an existing database structure demonstrating efficiency and integrity, design the physical tables. Scenario You have been asked to create a database model using MS Visio Database Model Diagram Template. The purpose of this lab is to provide experience designing, with limited instructions, a simple database based on a list of data requirements and associated business rules. You will then complete an MS Access database based on the model developed in Visio, creating the necessary tables and relationships. Upon completing this lab, you will be able to 1. create a new Visio file for database design; 2. using the data requirements and the business rules provided, develop a conceptual model (ERD), including attribute data types and required field lengths; and 3. create a new MS Access database based on the ERD.
The resource based view argues that companies posses some unique resources (assets and capabilities) and competitive advantage is acquired by accumulating those strategic assets. Resources are any tangible (equipment, raw material) or intangible (firm image, processes, routines) things that a company owns and can use to carry out its crucial processes. Resource based view focuses on the resources and capabilities possessed by the firm to analyze the profitability and value. According to the view an organization is a bundle of resources, which fall into five general categories of financial resources, physical resources, human resources, knowledge and learning resources, and general organizational resources. The Tootsie Roll Industries efficiency employs further review in tangible resources, intangible resources, capabilities, and core competencies as a strategy to achieve the highest ranking in the candy market.
