Qusestions:
1. Discuss the changes made in the area of communication within COS – what benefits have these brought and how have they done so? What can be gained from conducting an organizational climate or employee opinion survey?
2. What impacts could Dom’s childhood experiences and background have had on his business? Speculate on the impact of two such different national cultures coming together. What aspects of culture should Dom be aware of and respond to as his company continues to grow?

Read case study attached below ( only need question 1 and 2 )

Case study: Complete Office Supplies (COS)

The Industry
The stationery industry is competitive, with thin margins. The small number of major suppliers and large number of small suppliers have rationalised in the past few years. Complete Office Supplies (COS) is one of just four major players in the contract channel. As aggregators they buy stationery products from many local and overseas sources and sell to other businesses. ‘We store the supplies for the shortest amount of time and despatch them to our customers as quickly as possible. In the door then out the door.’
COS in the Industry
COS’s customer base is corporate and government. Much of their business is under contract, as the sole or preferred stationery supplier for a business for an 18- or 24-month period. However, most customers are casual and can be snatched away at any time by a competitor. To gain and retain customers, COS must offer flexible solutions to reduce customers’ costs. Analysing customers’ end-to-end stationery needs from needing stationery to paying the bill is core to keeping corporate clients. In the quest to tighten supply chains, corporate clients are increasingly demanding the fewer but more meaningful single sourcing relationships. Services never previously thought to be the domain of stationery suppliers, such as forms and print management, toner refill management, office furniture and design consultation, and management of promotional products, are provided. COS boasts ‘smart, flexible solutions for ordering systems, billing methods, reporting structures, logistics and product choice to ensure [clients] receive maximum cost reduction and efficiency’. COS has been recognised for its IT innovations and industry-leading website uptake by being named as a finalist in the 2003 Western Sydney Industry Award for Excellence and Innovation.
The Founding of COS
Complete Office Supplies was founded in 1976 by Dominique Lyone, the son of an Egyptian immigrant to Australia. Dom’s father had run a typewriter repair business in Egypt, and fled that country after the 1967 Six Day War threatened the lives of his family. Dom started learning English on arrival in Australia at age 13. He finished school at age 15 to become a telegram delivery boy, then followed his father’s footsteps into the typewriter repair business as a mechanic. Attracted to the sales environment, he was soon selling consumables in that business. After a few years he started out on his own, selling a wider range than just the typewriter consumables to which he had previously been restricted.
Growth
The business grew so well in the first ten years until expansion into retail took the business to the brink of liquidation in the mid 1980s. Dom recalls, ‘The business was overstretched, I took my eye off the ball, and we had few reporting systems’. Doing a deal with creditors to repay outstanding debts, it took four years to trade through. Many employees from that time have stayed with the company.
In the early 1990s, COS began a national expansion program, and now the company has a presence in every Australian state. It distributes more than 8500 SKUs (individual stock items) from six distribution centres and has more than 120 employees. The business is structured along functional lines with managers of Sales and Marketing, Finance and Administration, Procurement, Logistics and IT. In 2002 COS joined the global strategic alliances of American Office Products Distribution Inc., with multiple dealers linked for global customers. The AOPD group’s combined turnover is in excess of $3 billion a year. Dom and the management team plan to continue the current rate of growth – to double the business every three years.
Leadership
While Dom retained full ownership and control of the business, many members of his immediate and extended family were employed in the business. In the past, these intimate loyal contacts in the organisation have supported Dom’s leadership and strengthened his ability to stay in touch with employees. However, he realised he was not in touch with employees when the business started national expansion. ‘Suddenly I wasn’t there. I wasn’t seeing everything that was happening every minute of the day. I had to rely on others to run my business in my absence. It was no longer a small business operation.’
Since that expansion, Dom has realised the value of training and developing managers and employees. COS supports employees through performance review outcomes and recognition awards. Induction programmes, self-study support, national conferences and on- or off-site training are some of the professional development opportunities now available.
Employee Characteristics and Culture
The culture at COS could be described as conservative and autocratic. A classic example of Dom’s past style is when he initiated a major IT change. Employees found out about it when they powered up their computers one morning. Dom was used to seeing what needed to be
done, and going ahead and doing it. He hadn’t needed change management principles or communications programmes when the company was small. But now his impact is wider. Employees must still wait and depend on him, as Dom’s approval is required for most decisions. This causes a potential motivation problem among senior management – others don’t see any possibility of being able to lead the organisation. The answer to the question ‘Can someone get from the bottom to the top of the organisation?’ is simply ‘Not while Dom’s in charge’. While his sales approach is professional and innovative, Dom’s management approach is conservative, with low risk taking. For example, he wants to ensure the last recruits are paying for themselves before recruiting more. He has lost his family home before, and he’s not going to lose it again.
Cultural rites and rituals within COS include personal as well as business events. Respecting high family values, all employees are given the day off for their birthday, family social BBQs are held on site, ‘show where you work’ family days are held each year, and special days such as Melbourne Cup and Halloween are celebrated throughout the organisation. Employees’ partners are invited to the staff Christmas parties, where a thoughtful exchange of gifts reflects the family culture.
The workforce is stable, with key people working in the same role for many years. There is low staff turnover; however, few return from maternity leave. Multiculturalism is taken for granted at COS. There are very low levels of intergroup conflict, reflecting COS’s history of diversity.
An Opportunity for Employee Opinion Surveying
When planning for growth in 2002, Dom wanted to ensure his employees were prepared. He had always assumed he knew how they felt, and had never really asked them what they thought of their jobs, their teams and the organisation. He knew large organisations regularly surveyed their employees, but he hadn’t thought to do it himself before.
He contracted Macquarie University’s Voice Project (from their Psychology Department) to conduct an organisational climate survey – often known as an employee opinion survey. This was his opportunity to professionally evaluate how the organisation was performing, and to compare their results with those of other organisations. The survey consisted of 115 questions in the broad categories of Leadership, Direction, Relationships, Human Resource Management, Non-Financial Outcomes, and Financial Outcomes. Three open-ended questions were asked of employees to canvas opinions in their own words. The survey was designed to capture a comprehensive snapshot of employee opinions. The survey was sent to each employee and the responses were analysed when more than 70 per cent were completed and returned, anonymously, to the consultants.
At the beginning of the consultants’ feedback of the results to Dom and his management team, the team was asked to rate how they thought the organisation might have responded on a number of the scales. The true surveys were, not surprisingly, different to the ‘gut reaction’ of those managers. Although simplified for the purpose of this case study, the issues that COS needed to address were Communications, Processes and Structure, Resources, and Training and Development. Employees confirmed their attitude that COS is a very successful company, with satisfied customers and a promising future.
Although a great deal more information came from the survey, Dom and the team prioritised their efforts on a few manageable areas, including improving their communications and processes. The action plans became their ‘to do’ list, which they have worked through in the year since the survey.
Improving Communications
Specific results in the area of the company’s communications efforts were first evident in the way the survey results were fed back to the employees, a key component to encourage future participation. A four-page newsletter with a summary of the full company results was sent to every employee.
As a direct result of the survey, the decision was made to develop the company’s intranet site. From now on it was to be used to post internal communications and communicate policy changes, for example. Within a year the intranet has become integral to COS staff accessing company information. While developing the site had been planned for a few years, the survey highlighted its urgency. The full survey report was placed on the intranet site.
A third major communications outcome of the survey is the monthly ‘company meeting’. The entire head office – 50 to 60 people – attends the warehouse lunchtime talk with Dom and the management team. Dom presents information on where the company is headed and other relevant news. Employees are free to ask questions of him and the team. The sessions usually last around one to two hours. Is it worthwhile? ‘You’d have to ask them that’, says Dom. Anecdotally the results are positive, with staff now seeing more of their employer than they have for many years.
COS’s future
Employees will be asked whether these initiatives are worthwhile when the survey is run for a second time shortly. Their scores on the communication scale will reflect their attitudes towards the communications changes made during the year.
Eleven months after the initial survey, managers still refer frequently to the ‘Voice results’. The survey results come up in management conversations at least weekly. There’s enough corporate memory to keep the survey on the agenda, and it is scheduled to run again on the anniversary of the first survey. Dom and the team plan to compare last year’s results with the next batch. He sees it as a formal way of asking all employees what they think, and acknowledging that the management team have heard it. He sees the results as a reflection of himself and the management team. He appreciates that the survey results highlight problems he may not have been aware of as the size of the business grows, and sees them as ‘constructive feedback’.
Initial concerns about possible disadvantages of conducting an employee survey – that staff may want even greater input, that they may start to challenge his (or management’s) authority, that they may distort survey results – have not eventuated. The survey has enabled Dom to stay in touch with his employees despite the organisation’s reaching a size and geographic spread that ordinarily limits that level of contact. The employee survey is now a standard business tool that will see Complete Office Supplies fulfil its promised growth.

This part will help the writer
Ethics we considered throughout our research project

• integrity and objectivity of researcher – promoted honesty and avoided deceiving them
• Avoidance of harm – ensured confidentiality was kept
• Privacy – anonymous
• Avoided leading questions in interviews, questionnaires
• Ensured interviews were held at sociable times
• As we took a covert approach – had to debriefing them fully after observation

Qualitative data

When collecting our qualitative data we focused on the following things: locations, time and if fans showed any strange or special explicit behavior. To collect such data, we conducted covert ethnographic observations in different locations to gauge and record genuine reactions by rugby fans.

An ethnographic observation is an observation done from the point of view of the subject. This of course could only be conducted by sitting within rugby fans and watching the matches with them. Our data was only collected when each of us heard the sighs and cheers during the matches and felt the camaraderie after therefore taking a covert approach..

We conducted this observation in a few different places including pubs, the Oxford Brookes Sports Center, a stadium, and a local rugby club at different times and during different games. We observed not only behaviors that stood out to us during those games, but also filled out observation sheets to record behaviors observed before, during and after the game.

The behaviors we were looking for were if fans were drinking or eating, sitting or standing, cheering or shouting, and/or sitting with fans from opposing teams. These sheets also determined if there was a large scale of a certain gender or age in each location that differed in others.

With each observation sheet and personal experiences with strange or interesting behaviors observed during each game, we analysed a pattern of behaviors that intersect with different rugby fans.

Quantitative

Regarding quantitative findings we discovered that 68% of the participants that watch rugby agree or strongly agree that they cheer more with friends rather than when they watch it with families or on their own.

The most popular reason for why they watch rugby was for socialising.

The 80% of the participants prefer a close game and 58% of them watch it in big groups, so it is quite high too the percentage of people that watch rugby in small groups or alone.

Another fact we got to know by the questionnaires, was that 68% of the respondents drink and eat while watching rugby, no matter the result of the game.

Qualitative

By observing people in different locations we get to the conclusion that the location affects demographics of audience and who they attend with (for example, as we could see here, in the stadium the range of spectator’s age goes from 5 to 75 years old, while…. ).

As well as the quantitative data shows, no matter the result of the game, they were always drinking or eating something everywhere.

Research showed that when winning they were more cheering and happier, while when losing they focus more on socialising and they cheer less.

Requirements

Choose about six UK companies that have options written on them. You will need sufficient data to be able to adequately discuss and illustrate the issues developed in the assignment, so about six should be enough. However, if you find your results are limiting your scope for discussion you may need to run the techniques for a few more companies to get additional results.

Stock prices can be obtained from Yahoo Finance UK or other free website, DataStream or Bloomberg. Option prices can be obtained from the
from Bloomberg.

Step 1: For each of your companies compute the daily, weekly and monthly returns using 5 years of data. Also compute the daily, weekly and monthly returns for the FTSE100 index. This gives you 3 x 7 = 21 returns series altogether.

Step 2: Test the random walk hypothesis for each series using the runs test on SPSS.

Step 3: Carry out a serial correlation test on the series using SPSS (or some other computer statistics package).

Step 4: Carry out a normality test on the daily, weekly and monthly returns of each company and of the index.

(Steps 1, 2, 3, and 4 are worth 25% of the assignment grade)

Step 5: Critically discuss the results you obtained in steps 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Relate the results you have obtained to the underlying assumptions made in option pricing theory, namely that stock returns follow a random walk and that stock returns are normally distributed.

Interpreting statistical results is a matter of judgement and organised commonsense. It is not a technical matter of applying another formula.

(Step 5 is worth 25% of the assignment grade)

In this part you are testing some of our basic assumptions about stock returns. You are testing whether stock returns really follow a random walk in (2) and (3), and in (4) you are testing whether stock returns really are normally distributed. In other words, you are testing whether Brownian motion is a good model for stock returns.

Step 6: Compute the theoretical value of a selection of calls and puts written on your stocks using the Derivagem options pricing software. Also compute the theoretical value of one call option and one put option using the Black-Scholes formula.

Compare the theoretical values and current market prices of the options. On the basis of this (limited) piece of empirical research, do market prices appear to be consistent with theory? Critically discuss.

(Step 6 is worth 25% of the assignment grade)

Step 7: Calculate the volatilities implied by the market prices of the options, using Derivagem. By calculating implied volatilities on selected options, do you find evidence of mispricing in the options market? If so, explain at least two strategies for exploiting this apparent mispricing. Critically discuss.

(Step 7 is worth 25% of the assignment grade)

Written report

Write a report. Your report should contain:
(1) A clear summary of your results.
(2) A brief and clear explanation of how you carried out the calculations.
(3) A critical discussion of your results and conclusions.

The requirements (1), (2) and (3) are very important. Make sure you try to achieve these in your written report.

For example, using clearly presented tables to summarise your results in (1) is good. Spending pages and pages describing in detail what the reader can clearly see from the tables is bad.

If you write a poorly structured report with a bunch of spreadsheets/printouts attached at the end, it is very difficult for the examiner to know what your results are, whether you have carried out the calculations correctly, what your conclusions are, and in general, whether or not you understand what you are doing.

Your aim in writing your report must be to convince the reader that you have complete confidence in applying these techniques, that you understand the ideas behind these applications, and that you can critically discuss the results and form reasonable conclusions.

Hints and mistakes to avoid

In general, we will give help and feedback in showing how to use the techniques, but the discussion, explanation and interpretation required in the report is mostly up to you. If you add up the marks you will see that around 50% of the assignment grade is for explanation, discussion and interpretation. This should be reflected in your report.

Try to do the statistical tests first yourself, and then come to see us if you get stuck.

When discussing the results from the statistical tests and from the option pricing calculations, it is important that your report does not simply describe the results you get. Simply listing the results is something that is best done by putting them in a table.

When interpreting the results of statistical tests, you need to consider what the results say overall. This is an art, not a science. Some people think that interpreting statistical results means applying another formula. It isn’t. It is a matter of judgement, on which experts themselves often disagree. So, don’t be concerned that you do not know enough statistics to interpret the results. A lot of it is just looking at the results as a whole and using common sense.

You must interpret the results of this assignment by looking at them as a whole, and forming a judgement

Maximum word length

Your report must be between 1,500 and 2,500 words in length

As a general rule, shorter is usually better. In this kind of material it is possible to say all the important things concisely, briefly, simply and clearly.

Scenario:
You just landed a job as a junior Java developer and your project manager asks you to write an application to help customer service associates at a local marketplace accomplish their daily tasks. The local marketplace’s merchants sell their products to registered customers only. The project manager informs you that the application is broken into four major functional sections; Inventory, Customer, Purchases and Reports. All four sections are driven by a backbone database and perform similar tasks. He also explains that your application has to be a Java Swing Graphical User Interface application and to make things easier, he would like the application to be multiple-document interface oriented, if at all possible.
Descriptions:
Inventory: The inventory section will be used by the merchant to perform inventory tasks that will be reflected to the database. This section will have four submenus out of which, one will have two submenus.

Purchases: The purchases section will be used by the merchant as a POS application at the marketplace. This section will have a single submenu which will allow the user start the POS application. The POS application will be the one portion of the program most frequently used. Once started, it should allow the merchant to Add/Delete a new purchase to the database. It should also allow the merchant to cancel a purchase before it is saved to the database; in other words, clear the information already entered.
Purchases

Assignment:
Write an application to accomplish the tasks defined in the sections above. Your instructor will give you further instructions regarding the database tables’ structure. If you are unsure on how to connect to a database using JDBC, read Chapter 24 (Accessing Databases with JDBC) in your textbook. Also, if you choose to create this application as a multiple-document interface application (MDI), refer to Chapter 22 section 7 (22.7) of the textbook.
In addition to your menus, you should have a Help -> About menu at the end of your menus which will display a dialog box with information regarding the program. I suggest you use the three lines at the heading of this document and add your Last Name, First Name and an Ok button to the dialog which will close it when clicked on.

Assignment briefing

With reference to all the HR practices, what is the impact of Human Resource Management on staff and their commitment to the objectives of the organisation? Pick three areas (from the list below) that you can critically discuss and evaluate. Your essay must use examples and demonstrate your understanding of how these practices apply to an airline or airport

– Recruitment and Selection
– Training and Development
– Rewarding people
– Managing Performance
– Dealing with discipline and grievances
– Employee well-being

Produce a critical bibliography , which will involve a review of no more than 1500 words of three significant books on genocide. The review will involve a summary and critical evaluation of the approach adopted by each author, analysing and comparing the argument advanced and the evidence provided by each. You will not be required to read the whole book but key chapters and how they treat the Rwandan genocide.

� Eric D. Weitz, A Century of Genocide: Utopias of Race and Nation (Princeton: Princeton University Press 2005) also covers some of the cases, emphasising the role of the pursuit of Utopia as a cause of genocide.

� Benjamin A. Valentino, Final Solutions: Mass Killing and Genocide in the 20th Century (Ithaca: Cornell University Press 2005) also covers some cases,emphasising the role of elites and the use of genocide as a strategic tool.

� Michael Mann, The Dark Side of Democracy: Explaining Ethnic Cleansing (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004) which takes a more functionalist approach and has somewhat uneven chapters on (among others) Yugoslavia and Rwanda.

Just to clarify what you need to read from the three books you are reviewing:

Benjamin A. Valentino, Final Solutions: Mass Killing and Genocide in the 20th Century (Ithaca: Cornell University Press 2005) also covers some cases, emphasising the role of elites and the use of genocide as a strategic tool

Read introduction then chapters 1, 2, 3, pp. 178-87 then conclusion.

Eric Weitz, A Century of Genocide: Utopias of Race and Nation, Princeton: Princeton University Press (2005) � read the prelude, introduction pp. 8-15, chapter 1 and conclusion. Weitz doesn’t discuss Rwanda so have a look at any of his cases you are interested in to see how his theoretical perspective informs the way he writes.

Michael Mann, The Dark Side of Democracy : explaining ethnic cleansing, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2005.(on-line) � read chapters 1, 2, 3, 14, 15 and 17.

The assignment is about comparing and contrasting on the 3 books. Talk about their concepts.
