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).
In supply chain management, strategic capacity planning controls the demand of new opportunities at minimal cost (Chase, Jacobs, and Aquilano, 2006). Strategic capacity planning is essential in establishing the permanent capacity capability a business needs to maintain or improve its market share. Poorly planned capacity needs can help the competition, costing the business customers (Chase, Jacobs, and Aquilano, 2006). Performing a break-even analysis would assist Riordan in calculating the proper capacity needs of their
What is the CEO's role in all of this and 3. Can this work in your organization? If not, why? Using in-depth research as well as critical thinking, the analysis will support the view that Costco successfully uses the flexible leadership theory (FLT) and that the CEO is key to the success of the flexible leadership theory at Costco.

The CPA or CPA firm would at least have reputational interest in the financial report that it “managed”. This human nature will impair the CPA or CPA firm’s independence, and will decrease the reliability of the audit report. Second, self-interest focuses on the interest of decision makers. The CPA or the individual partner of the CPA firm would probably increase his own compensation by serving as both the entity’s consultant and auditor. On the other side, for the entity, hiring the same firm as both consultant and auditor can save it audit expense, since the CPA or CPA firm has already known a lot about it when performing consulting, thus decreasing its audit hours.
At this point, sales are virtually diminished, pricing is considerably offset from market trends, and the ability to maintain a level of profitability becomes a major challenge. An organization can put forth efforts in the attempt to reverse, or otherwise avoid, the decline stage by a few idealogic strategies, all of which are designed to readapt and conform to newly enhanced demands by the industry and its respective consumers. Most importantly, an organization can empower itself to readapt and act in a proactive manner by analyzing market trends and determining the future scope of a certain type of product or service within a reasnable timeframe prior to the onset of saturation and declination. Perhaps it would be in the best interest of an organization to produce/ provide a product of similar fashion, yet a unique alternative, before actually retiring or discontuing a product. For production to end indefinitely of a specific good, an alternative must be researched, produced, and introduced into the marketplace at the same time to create an equilibrium of market introduction of one product and declination of another.

Finally, we have seen how these incentives affect different types of organizations. We have seen cases where companies move for reasons that other may consider small like consultation, or travel. While others move because of additional material benefits, such as lower labor, and shipping costs. Because of the importance of this decision an organization should study the different types of incentives and chose the most beneficial to their

Any objectives agreed upon by a management coalition would inevitably be highly ambiguous goals, enfeebling the ability of a top manager or entrepreneur to truly control the direction of the firm. Cyert and March argued that while ‘individuals have goals; collectivities of people do not’ (1992, p.30), and thus the firm could not have well-defined objectives. Premised on this weak (or the absence of) leadership, The Behavioral Theory posits that the firm’s strategies and learning processes are short-term in focus with adaptations induced by crises. Management is unable to reconfigure internal resources because of the immutability of standard operating procedures and the ambiguity of coalition goals. In his discussion of firm strategy, Oliver Williamson notes that in Cyert and March ‘the firm resembles a fire department more than a strategic actor’ (1999, p. 14).
