I don’t understand this Business question and need help to study.

answer the questions below:

1- Compare and contrast local/regional/international business excellence models.Support your arguments with evidence from MENA-based (e.g. UAE) organizations.
2- Critically analyze the most widely used business excellence models adopted by the UAE-based organizations across the emirates (i.e. Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah,…)
3- Explain the vital role of top management/customer orientation/employee orientation/process orientation, benchmarking (and other criteria of business excellence models) in achieving business excellence. Support your arguments with evidence from MENA- (and UAE-based) organizations.
4- Critically analyze the performance impact of business Excellence models (e.g. EFQM, Deming Prize, MNBQA, DGQA, ISO 9000 series etc.). Support your arguments with evidence from MENA- (and UAE-based) organizations.
5- Discuss the motives behind the adoption and diffusion of business excellence models in public/private sector organizations in the UAE or wider context of the MENA region.
6- Critically analyze the adoption and performance impact of EFQM model in the UAE.Support your arguments with evidence from MENA-based (e.g. UAE) organizations.
7- Define and describe categories/criteria of business excellence models (e.g. EFQM, Deming Prize, MNBQA, DGQA, ISO 9000 series). Support your arguments with evidence from MENA-based (e.g. UAE) organizations.
8- How ISO 9000 is similar to or different from other BE models?
9- Critically analyze 2 of the local and regional BE models.
10- Discuss pros and cons of international BE models such as EFQM, Deming Prize and MBNQA.
11- Discuss the ISO family standards and the manners in which they contribute to creating a quality culture and enhancing business excellence.

Answers should be:

* žUsing BE theories/concepts in answering the questions.
* Using of the language of the course
ž* Reaching the point: focus on the question, do not provide generic answer
* žPrecise reference to the criteria of BE models
* žLogical and complete answers provided (do not write too much or too less. Be focused on the question). 200- 250 words per question would be enough.
* žSupporting examples

8discussion board assignment: my nursing assignment help
I need an explanation for this Algebra question to help me study.

For the discussion board assignment in each unit, you will complete the problem associated with the letter that you have been assigned by the instructor. Post the entire example/word problem you have been assigned from the textbook. Then fully explain how you would go about finding the solution. Please explain all steps in a way that a struggling classmate could understand and learn from your methods.

Professional communication is expected in all posts, which includes proper spelling and grammar, and providing source information when using outside resources.

Each unit Discussion Forum will be worth 5 points and will be graded on the following criteria:
Problem is stated at the start of the post All work/explanation for assigned problem is shown Correct solution Proper grammar and spelling are used
This is the Letter assigned to me below and the entire question to that letter.

R. Section 3.4

Solve the system by the method of your choice. If there is no solution or if there are infinitely many solutions and a system’s equations are dependent, so state.

− = −1

I don’t know how to handle this Accounting question and need guidance.

The case materials need to be bought from Ivey Publishing. To do this, please go to www.iveycases.com. We will be using Excelerite Integrated Systems, Inc. (EIS), Wesley Marple, Product Number: 9B08N006. You will be charged a small amount for a digital copy of the case.

You need to help EIS decide whether to go ahead with the Pathrite system or not. Provide all relevant information and analysis,including a computation of the net present value and internal rate of return of the Pathrite system project.

This case is about capital budgeting. However, some of the issues that you will need to grapple with are raised in the modules covering Stock Valuation and Capital Markets. Keep in mind that there is a lot of information in the case: regarding each piece of information, ask yourself whether it’s relevant or not and if relevant, how. Keep in mind also that cost of capital is a conceptual quantity that can be measured using several pieces of information. Capital Budgeting is not a mechanistic exercise, not in the forecasting of cashflows and not in the estimation of cost of capital.

Note that you should use the weighted average cost of capital formula to compute the cost of capital, viz. WACC = (proportion of equity in the firm’s liability structure)(cost of equity capital) + (proportion of debt in the firm’s liability structure)(cost of debt capital)(1-marginal tax rate).

The write-up should be in Word (with an accompanying Excel spreadsheet showing the computations) and should be emailed to me.

Here are some hints on how to go about doing the case:

You first need to come up with the basic incremental cashflows. That involves simply computing the after-tax earnings year-by-year and adding back depreciation.

The treatment of inflation has to be consistent with the discount rate used. You can treat all the cashflows as nominal cashflows, incorporating inflation and then you don’t have to do anything about the inflation rate given. However, the constant assumed savings makes that unlikely. So if the savings are treated as savings, unadjusted for inflation, the right thing to do is to inflate the savings at the rate of inflation. However, it is important to keep in mind that tax savings do not increase at the rate of inflation. Also, the discount rate for nominal cashflows has to be a nominal rate, not an inflation-adjusted real rate. (See the notes on Real Rates, Nominal Rates and Inflation in Module 5 also.)

Depreciation, as noted in the case, follows the half-year life convention, which says that EIS could start depreciating in year zero, as long as the purchase had occurred in year zero (but I am not necessarily looking for this much sophistication).

The key thing in the computation of the discount rate is the realization that there are many ways of computing the cost of equity and the cost of debt. For the cost of debt, the bond yield could be used or the yield on comparably rated bonds could be used. The 8% coupon rate is not the cost of debt unless the debt is sold at par, in which case it would be the yield, as well.

For the cost of equity, you can use the CAPM, but that is only one method. You could also use the Gordon growth model formula, which says that r = D/P + g (this will be discussed in more detail in Module 9). You could also look at the actual historical average return.

Finally, I expect you to think about sensitivity. Taking the expected cashflows is not recognizing the sensitivity of the realized NPV to the actual cashflows. Looking at the NPV separately under the different scenarios allows us to look at the probability of ending up with a negative realized NPV, which you don’t get by simply using the expected cashflows in your computation.

Here is the rubric that I will use to grade you. From this you can also get an idea of what I am looking for. Doing the bare minimum will not get you many points!
