Live 4 It

So I’m majoring in Business, but I have no idea which concentration to get into. I’m thinking of Human resource management. How good is that major and can you get a job with it.

Out of all of these which one is the best…
1. Human Resource Management
2. Information Systems.
3. Real Estate and Urban Land Development
4. Finance
5. Business administration and management

Best in terms of what? Making money? Work environment?

What do you enjoy doing? Dont chase a major for money, you will almost certainly regret it.

There are other things besides money, like getting up for work and not wishing you could call in sick every day because you hate it.

Benny, Siswe, Vuyo and Patricia have decided to open their own sports café.
Because deadlines are so tight, they have decided to use Microsoft Project 2003 to assist them with the management of the project.

(a) What are the four main elements that the team should consider when drawing up their project plan? (4 Marks)

(b) Name the four most important resources already available to the project. (4 Marks)

(c) Vuyo is ready to set up the project in Microsoft Project 2003. If he is currently working with the project information dialogue box, which element of the project is he considering? (1 mark)

(d) In which phase of the project life cycle will the business partners be when they enter the details of the project into their Microsoft Project 2003 software?

Just go to Microsoft’s website and download the 60 day free trial of MS Project Management 2007. Install the program and work the problem. You could also go to the homework section of Yahoo! Answers and have someone do your homework for you.

All kinds of good stuff! Nutrient uptake and/or water storage capacity of wetlands (i.e, impact studies of development or restoration), population dynamics of food species in subtidal waters, effects of perturbation of food sources in commercially valuable species, cascade effects of ‘fishing down’ the food chain, impact of conservation or exploitation of apex predators on forage species (and vice versa)…

hopefully you get the idea. Don’t forget about using economic modeling to predict resource harvest and production pressures, too. Exploiting resources is about the money, and the money can be used to track and analyze exploitation, too.

ISO 9000 is a management system that sets up critical data monitoring functions and then ensures that the appropriate authorities are monitoring this data and taking effective corrective action to address deficiencies, contain nonconforming material or services and inform the customer.

TQM requires a continuous improvement cycle, employee participation and satisfaction, application of appropriate advanced statistical tools and technology, functional integration between and among all department.

ISO describes what the functions and actions need to be in place to sustain a minimum quality system. TQM (and AIG 9000) are prescriptive and are more specific in defining the means by which you achieve a Maxium quality system.

Hope this helps

A good example is to look at what has happened to Toyota. If total quality control was in place, there would not have been so many recent recalls on their vehicles. They went from the number #1 car company in the world to fighting to get back customer trust.

We have all the probes to check for water quality.
We have decided to use the probes to test for the water quality in different parts of Singapore and different levels in the HDB flats to see if there is any difference in the water quality.
This would be the idea of our project but how can we link it to benefiting the society and saving the environment?
Or is there any other ideas that we can do about water management with all the probes we have ?

Pauline, I assume that the connection to the environment and benefiting society is a funding issue without which the scheme could not progress. An argument for linking to the environment could be that if the Water was good quality, the users would be less likely to ‘run the tap’ before drawing drinking water, this would reduce waste of fresh water and reduce the need to process the waste. From the society angle, perhaps society would benefit from reduced water charges (meter charges) because they no longer ‘run the tap’ and the water saved would be available to other members of society who may be without running water at present.

Also what position should be held. I am a senior project manager now for quality.
