Answer and Explanation:
core competency of an organization comprise it's multiple resource, capabilities and skills that gives it a competitive advantage in the market. It was originated in management theory by C. K. Prahalad and Gary Hamel.
For an organization to have core competencies in manufacturing and also research and development putting it's organizational structure and culture to use, it has to:
create a flexible and somewhat independent structure for it's research and development department such that innovation is easy. Control must be decentralized and the team must come first
For the manufacturing department, an organic and participative approach should be encouraged. This would allow inclusive management such that workers are included in decision making processes. Managers should also be given more independence while workers should increasingly be empowered
the organization should also take stringent measures in employing the right people for the research and development as well as the manufacturing department such that these individuals are qualified and possess the needed expertise for their areas. Staff should equally be empowered through constant education and new skill acquisitions and be allowed to impart this knowledge on other staff by encouraging transfers in global expansion.
Answer:
A. Overconfidence effect
Explanation:
Overconfidence effect is a kind of bias whereby individual's subjective confidence in their own abilities is greater than the objective or actual performance accuracy of those abilities. During surveys, respondents usually have this kind of bias. An example is the one stated in the question whereby average people tend to fill that they are "above average" on certain features like intelligence and perceptiveness. It is a common bias as individuals usually assume that they are better than their real ability by overestimating those abilities inherently.
Answer: 3.22
Explanation:
Given that;
mean = 2.5 min
standard deviation = 0.25 min
now to get the value of X required, we say
z = (x - u) / a
where z is the distance from the mean measured in the standard deviation units, x is the value we are interested in, u is the mean distribution, a is the standard deviation of the distribution.
the time delay should be just enough to allow 99.8% of the cabinets to dry completely = 99.8/100 = 0.9980
first we determine an appropriate z value.
Using the standardized normal tables,
value of z for approximately 0.9980 is 2.88
so using our initial equation z = (x - u) / a
we substitute the value
z = (x - u) / a
2.88 = ( x - 2.5) / 0.25
2.88 * 0.25 = x - 2.5
0.72 = x - 2.5
x = 0.72 + 2.5
x = 3.22
1. Direct
2. Indirect
I think this is correct.
Answer:
704076 $
Explanation:
Exact statement of the question is:
<em>May 3, 2007, Leven Corp. negotiated a short-term loan of $685,000. The loan is due October 1, 2007, and carries a 6.86% interest rate. Use ordinary interest to calculate the interest. What is the total amount Leven would pay on the maturity date? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)</em>
Solution:
Fro 3rd May to October 1st. 2017 there are 151 days
But 365 days = 1 year
==> 151 days = 151× 1/365 =0.414 years
But we use 1 year as one term
==> 1year = 1T
==> T = 0.414
R= 6.86
P= 685000
A=?
We use formula for the term:
A= P
Where A= ammount at the end of term
P= Loan amount
R= Rate of interest
T= No. of terms
Putting values in this formula;
==> A= 685000×
==> A= 685000 × 1.02784938489=704076 $
