Scenario: Green Pastures is a 400-acre farm on the outskirts of the Kentucky Bluegrass, specializing in the boarding of broodmares and their foals. A recent economic downturn in the thoroughbred industry has led to a decline in breeding activities, and it has made the boarding business extremely competitive. To meet the competition, Green Pastures planned in 2017 to entertain clients, advertise more extensively, and absorb expenses formerly paid by clients such as veterinary and blacksmith fees. The budget report for 2017 is presented as an attachment. As shown, the static income statement budget for the year is based on an expected 21,900 boarding days at $25 per mare. The variable expenses per mare per day were budgeted: feed $5, veterinary fees $3, blacksmith fees $0.25, and supplies $0.55. All other budgeted expenses were either semi fixed or fixed. During the year, management decided not to replace a worker who quit in March, but it did issue a new advertising brochure and did more entertaining of clients. Develop a 700-to 1050-word examination of the financial statements and include the following based on the static budget report: What was the primary cause(s) of the loss in net income? Did management do a good, average, or poor job of controlling expenses? Were management’s decisions to stay competitive sound? Prepare a flexible budget report for the year. Based on the flexible budget report: What was the primary cause(s) of the loss in net income? Did management do a good, average, or poor job of controlling expenses? Were management’s decisions to stay competitive sound? What course of action do you recommend for the management of Green Pastures? Show your work in Microsoft Word or Excel.

MKTG307 FORUM With all the problems facing companies that go global, why are so many companies choosing to expand internationally? What are the advantages of expanding beyond the domestic market? Be sure to discuss diffusion of innovation and provide an example.

This paper contains lots of information searching before doing it. This is a group report and the company we chose is Netflix. You need to do the following analysis base on Netflix’s resent 5 year’s performance and annual report. Below are the exact contents you need to write on: 1. Strategic implementation issues (about 500 words on this section) What are the major strategic implementation issues confronting your organisation as it actions its business-level and international strategies? To address this question you need to use the McKinsey 7S Plus model of the 16 key areas a CEO must focus upon to support effective implementation of strategy. You should identify and discuss only the 3 or 4 strategic implementation issues you consider to be the most important. You may include in this discussion specific areas of strategy implementation your organisation is addressing particularly well, in addition to issues/ areas that hinder strategy implementation. Areas that frequently give rise to strategic implementation issues include: Poor/ inappropriate business level strategic plans? Not enough/ too many staff? Not having the right staff skill sets to implement strategies? Wrong culture to embrace strategies? Poor CEO and/ or senior management leadership? Lack of or inappropriate systems? Lack of innovation (compared to competitors)? Failure to properly use IT, including the Internet, to underpin strategy implementation? Lack of knowledge management systems to retain/ use knowledge? Inadequate finance; excessive gearing? Failure to protect/ use IP? Legal issues hindering strategy implementation? Inability to use M&A tool successfully? Inability to use strategic alliance tool successfully? Other major strategic implementation issues? For each strategic implementation issue selected, you need to discuss why it is a major issue and how it should be rectified (if it can be). Overall conclusion: What are the key issues hindering or promoting strategic implementation and why? What are the impacts of these issues on strategic implementation? 2. Strategic evaluation (around 300 words on this section) Overall, how well do you feel your organisation is performing? In particular, how well is your organisation achieving its strategic objectives? You need to evaluate your organisations performance using a balanced scorecard or triple bottom line reporting approach. (which is Social justice, Financial and Environmental bottom line) In the Financial bottom line, you prabably have to attach a diagram in order to analyse

Assignment: Literature Review: The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies New technologyand the application of existing technologyonly appears in healthcare settings after careful and significant research. The stakes are high, and new clinical systems need to offer evidence of positive impact on outcomes or efficiencies. Nurse informaticists and healthcare leaders formulate clinical system strategies. As these strategies are often based on technology trends, informaticists and others have then benefited from consulting existing research to inform their thinking. In this Assignment, you will review existing research focused on the application of clinical systems. After reviewing, you will summarize your findings. To Prepare: Review the Resources and reflect on the impact of clinical systems on outcomes and efficiencies within the context of nursing practice and healthcare delivery. Conduct a search for recent (within the last 5 years) research focused on the application of clinical systems. The research should provide evidence to support the use of one type of clinical system to improve outcomes and/or efficiencies, such as the use of personal health records or portals to support patients newly diagnosed with diabetes. Identify and select 5 peer-reviewed articles from your research. The Assignment: (4-5 pages) In a 4- to 5-page paper, synthesize the peer-reviewed research you reviewed. Be sure to address the following: Identify the 5 peer-reviewed articles you reviewed, citing each in APA format. Summarize each study, explaining the improvement to outcomes, efficiencies, and lessons learned from the application of the clinical system each peer-reviewed article described. Be specific and provide examples.
