Our selection process is based on the fact that the combined companies of InterClean and EnviroTech are a mature entity. Mature organizations emphasize the maintenance of market share, cost reductions through economies of scale, more rigid management controls over workers' actions, and the generation of cash to develop new product lines (Cascio, 2005). Overall, our goal over the next several years is to capture the all inclusive government cleaning services and solutions market to expand our business and increase our sales. We will do this by maintaining a well trained diverse sales team, educating our customers, and offering the best and most streamlined customized cleaning
Executive summary To maintain prominent competence in heavy truck manufacturing industry, our company, PACCAR, needs to upgrade major lines to the most efficient and advanced technologies. There are two options to be considered: purchasing technologies from outside providers or developing the technologies by the company itself. As a financial analyst, I evaluate those two options by calculating and analyzing MIRR, NPV, IRR, payback period and PI for each alternative. My analysis indicates that developing the technologies in house is more optimal as it outperforms the other alternative on all measurements. And among all measurements, MIRR is the best one in this case.

The casting process has been discovered since 3200BC and the basic processes have remained with us till today. Modern casting has a lot of benefits in the manufacturing industry, which range from reducing waste to producing wide range of material properties. The processes are divided into two categories: expandable and non-expandable casting and the most used methods are shown in figure 1. Figure 1 (Casting processes, Chinasavvy) As it can be seen form the chart above, there are many different types of casting processes available for the manufacturing of products, but the underlying method of producing is the same. The other benefit of casting is the cost related to purchasing of tools thus making this process available to a wide range of manufactures.
Each candidate should have a clean driving record and possess excellent customer service skills. Maintaining a professional image is crucial, as “chauffeurs are highly trained customer service representatives.” (Harrison, 2014) Some of the best ways to recruit chauffeurs is to make the company attractive through the benefits package and through the including the employee in working toward Landslide’s strategic objectives. Some of the most basic methods of recruitment are word of mouth, bulletin boards at town hall, local markets, fire departments, rescue squads, police stations, and school teacher’s lounge. The unemployment office is also a great place Landslide to begin its search for leads. Since Landslide is small, it should consider keeping its advertising budget low and focus more attention to local union, civic, and fraternal organization, and local township newsletters, instead of newspapers.
Employee contributions are definitely welcomed and will be acknowledged regardless of the person’s point of view. 9. Distinctive competence; well not knowing a great deal about this type of business I would have to say that Whole Foods is outdoing its competitors since they are in fact the largest in the world. Their team empowerment and creativity coupled with core values are most likely what led this organization to the top. I feel that their mission statement is a direct reflection of their philosophy and takes the organization from Point A to Point B.
The strategic capabilities of Dyson revolve primarily around the a resource-based view of strategy, with a heavy focus on engineering design; they spend a tremendous amount of time developing and engineering prototypes for household products that provide some new trick or twist to the typical device (e.g. vacuum cleaners that provide smooth turning around corners, oscillating fans that “multiply” air). This creates a niche in what can be an overly-saturated market; providing a unique spin on a product can offer tremendous advantages. Combine this with state-of-the-art, sleek design elements and bright, colorful exteriors, and Dyson creates a number of high-end, well-sought after appliances. Dyson invests heavily in Chinese and Asian manufacturing in order to make their products more cheaply, so they can maintain profit margins.
The only counter-part of this aspect would be the fact that customers have to take time mounting the furniture, which Ikea considers being a source of fun and a social activity. The end products of IKEA are high quality furniture and in-house products, you have to assemble these yourself as is mentioned before which reduces the costs of these high quality products and therefore the price. End products of Ikea are mostly high quality furniture and in-house products adapted to all. Offering design at low-cost is Ikea’s main objective, and this is the result of adding each core competencies together. Everything is linked in a way that if one of the core competencies turns out not to be one anymore, the whole concept collapses getting Ikea in a dangerous situation.
It is used to accelerate a hot, pressurized gas passing through it to a higher speed in the axial (thrust) direction, by converting the heat energy of the flow into kinetic energy. Because of this, the nozzle is widely used in some types of steam turbines and rocket engine nozzles. It also sees use in supersonic jet engines. The nozzle was developed by Swedish inventor Gustaf de Laval in 1888 for use on a steam turbine. This principle was first used in a rocket engine by Robert Goddard.
