HARDING PLASTIC MOLDING COMPANY (Capital Budgeting: Ranking Problems) OBJECTIVE: The objective of this case is to explore the ranking differences that may result from using the PI‚ NPV‚ and IRR evaluation techniques. It illustrates the time disparity‚ size disparity‚ and life disparity problems and the appropriate approaches to the resolution of these problems. This case works well either as a homework problem coinciding with the introduction of project ranking and capital-rationing material or

After reading the chapters from African Religions and Philosophies by Mbiti I discovered that Africans have a totally different perception of time than Westerners. In traditional African culture time is a chain of events. Once made‚ it belongs to zamani. Westerners want to have trains running on schedule and fly to the moon. Africans have different aims in life. Time and reality end now‚ the future is unreal. There is no future yet. It still is to be made by the interaction of all forces in

principles of his system of management was to eliminate opportunities of chance or accident through the scientific investigation of every detail of labor (171). Through motion and time study‚ Taylor vigorously studied body movements and assigned exact approximations of the time necessary to complete the labor. Scientific management eliminated the need of skilled labor by delegating each employee one simple task to repeat over and over. Although this method increased the productivity of factories‚ it stripped

The History of Pi The History of Pi Most individuals who have a general mathematical education that touches on the basics of geometry commonly know pi. The definition of pi is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of the circle (Smoller‚ 2001). The majority of the population‚ however‚ does not realize the history associated with the symbol‚ which not only spans throughout the centuries but throughout the millenniums.

Global Pecuniary Emulation: A Case Against Americanization International affairs‚ globalization‚ and economics literature often speaks of a concept of "Americanization." By this the authors generally attempt to portray that globalization in the 21st century has consistently been an example of the rest of the world adopting American culture instead of a true global exchange between all nations. Often‚ the advocates of this position view the perpetrators of Americanization as multinational corporations

Embedded Technology For Vehicle Cabin Safety Monitoring And Alerting System ABSTRACT Motor vehicles are the prime source of transportation where vehicles with A/C play a major part. This paper designs an embedded system for a vehicle cabin‚ which senses the gases like carbon-monoxide and oxygen and displayed at each and every second. If the level of the CO increases than the normal level (30ppm) or the level of the oxygen decreases than the normal level (19%) then an alarm is generated automatically
