187 Leadership and Management Traits Case Study
Answer in 300 words /10 sentences
It was interesting to see the list of differences in the lecture topic 2 notes. I agree with the part that states that relevance and balance is important. It is easy to fall more in one category than the other naturally. The quote: Managers are thought to do things right, and leaders are thought to do the right things (Bennis, 1985; Zaleznick, 1983). With that said, I think it is probably easier in my opinion to be a manager versus a leader looking at the list of differences. I say this as leadership involves change, and change is not always easy. In my opinion, the toughest ones listed would be the inspire and originate terms. I say this because it is quite notable when I come across a leader who is actually genuinely inspiring. That is something to be able to say or do something and actually inspire a change in someone else. I listed originate because the factor of change involved as well as innovation. People do not always welcome change and being innovative can be quite challenging.
While we must strive to encompass both leadership and management traits, looking internally, would you consider yourself to be more of a leader or a manager? Why?

NOTE: All submitted work is to be your original work (and only yours). You may not use any work from another student, the Internet or an online clearinghouse. You are expected to understand the Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism Policy, and know that it is your responsibility to learn about instructor and general academic expectations with regard to proper citation of sources as specified in the APA Publication Manual, 6th Ed. (Students are held accountable for in-text citations and an associated reference list only).
Purpose:
This project is the second of three projects. Students will perform an internal environmental analysis using the tools and concepts learned in the course to date. You will also draw from previous business courses to develop an understanding of how organizations develop and manage strategies to establish, safeguard and sustain its position in a competitive market.
Students also have the opportunity to review an organization’s objectives and goals and the key functional areas within the organization. Performing an internal environment analysis helps assess a firm’s internal resources and capabilities and plays a critical role in formulating strategy by identifying a firm’s strengths to capitalize on so that it can effectively overcome weaknesses.
Skill Building:
In this project, you are building many different skills including research, critical thinking, writing and developing analytical skills related to various financial analysis tools and strategy tools used in business.
Outcomes Met With This Project:
· utilize a set of useful analytical skills, tools, and techniques for analyzing a company strategically;
· integrate ideas, concepts, and theories from previously taken functional courses including, accounting, finance, market, business and human resource management;
· analyze and synthesize strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) to generate, prioritize, and implement alternative strategies in order to revise a current plan or write a new plan and present a strategic plan.

Report Requirements to Follow
In writing the report,
· Use the grading rubric while completing the project to ensure all requirements are met that will lead to the highest possible grade.
· Third person writing is required. Third person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second person writing).
· Contractions are not used in business writing, so do not use them.
· No direct quotes except for mission statement and vision statement. For all other source material used in the analysis, you will not use direct quotation marks but will instead paraphrase. What this means is that you will put the ideas of an author or article into your own words rather than lifting directly from a source document. You may not use more than four consecutive words from a source document, as doing so would require direct quotation marks. Changing words from a passage does not exclude the passage from having quotation marks.
· Use in-text citations and provide a reference list that contains the reference associated with each in-text citation.
· You may not use books in completing this project.
· Provide the page or paragraph number in every in-text citation presented.

198 Pricing Guidelines in A Monopoly Market
Assignment Instructions
Pricing strategy varies significantly across different market structures. The pricing guidelines in a monopoly market are relatively straightforward. Since the company is the only producer offering the product, it can mark-up the price as far as the customer can bear. The pricing strategies for a producer operating in a perfect competition structure are also fairly intuitive. They are price takers, and hence price is set at the marginal cost of the product. This is due to the fact that there are many firms offering nearly identical products. However, there is optimal pricing for the market structures offering differentiated products with many competitors (oligopoly) or a few producers (monopolistic competition). These are much more complex and involved. It has been stated that differentiation in products that creates differences in customer valuation is the most prevalent type of competition. In such markets pricing strategies may include the three C’s of cost, competition, and customer.
Develop a paper detailing an analysis of market structures and relating pricing strategies that are suitable for each of these structures. Furthermore, include a real world example of pricing strategy for a specific company by identifying its market structure.
Your paper needs to be at least 10 full double spaced pages, in APA Format, not including title, abstract, and reference pages, and structured as follows:
Cover page with a running head

You need to be able to plan and manage your time well, particularly since there is no structured “class time”; communicate clearly and effectively where there is no visual or nonverbal feedback; and use technology effectively.
This Discussion provides you with an opportunity to think about your skills in the above areas, to explore strategies for successful online learning, and exchange strategies with your colleagues.
To prepare:
Review this Week’s assigned readings from the Walden e-Guide and the document, “Technical Tips for Learning at Walden,” in the Learning Resources.
Review this week’s media program, “Tips for Effective Online Composition and Communication.”
Think about some strategies you have used, or read about, that may be beneficial for effective planning, time management, communication, and technology use.
Consider how the strategies you have identified can contribute to being a successful online learner.
Post a description of at least one strategy for each of the following areas related to online success: planning, time management, communication, and technology use.
Explain how/why you think use of each strategy will contribute to your success as an online learner.

Production Costs Case Study Essay
Running head: PRODUCTION COSTS 1
PRODUCTION COSTS 2 Production Costs
To: Davis Skaros
From: Senior Accountant
Date:
Subject: Production Costs
The purpose of this memo is to provide you with a clarification to why the numbers that were provided in the production cost reports are accurate and to show you how those numbers were configured by the accountant assigned to count your inventory. First, you will need to understand that the inventory that is not shown is the equivalent units of production which will always be less than the actual inventory in stock. Remember that equivalent units “measure the work done during the period, expressed in fully completed units” (Kimmel, Weygandt, & Kieso, 2016).
In the following paragraphs we will look at the purpose of inventory management and how production costs show in the report. “It is not only the source for summary journal entries at the end of the month but also a most convenient vehicle for presenting and disposing of costs accumulated during the month. A production cost report shows total unit costs transferred to it from a preceding department, materials, labor, and factory overhead added by the department, unit cost added by the department, total and unit costs accumulated to the end of operations in the department, the cost of the beginning and ending work in process inventories, and cost transferred to a succeeding department or to a finished goods storeroom” (Rehman, 2018, para 1-2).
In the report you will see that the accountant took in whether the units were reasonable and whether your production costs were met. “A production cost report is the key document that management uses to understand the activities in a department; it shows the production quantity and cost data related to that department” (Kimmel, Weygandt, & Kieso, 2016 page 798). The overall units then are interpreted by the amount produced in the period. The output consists of units shifted out during the period and any units in development at the end of the period.
To get the full understanding of how the units were computed to get and equivalent of 2,000 there were steps that were performed to complete the report to show productions costs. The first step was to compute the physical unit flow where the units are to be kept tracked of by adding “the units started (or transferred) into production during the period to the units in process at the beginning of the period. This amount is referred to as the total units to be accounted for” (Kimmel, Weygandt, & Kieso, 2016, page 799). The second step is to compute the equivalent units of production where the units are “completed and transferred out plus equivalent unit if ending work in process equal to equivalent units of production” (Kimmel, Weygandt, & Kieso, 2016, page 800). The third step in this process is how we compute unit production costs by computing “the material, conversion and total manufacturing” (Kimmel, Weygandt, & Kieso, 2016, page 800) where the material is divided by equivalent units of the materials that are equal to the unit material cost we then use the total conversion cost and divide equivalent unit materials to unit conversion cost. Manufacturing is to take unit material cost and divide it by unit conversion cost, which will equal total manufacture cost per unit. The final step is to prepare a cost reconciliation schedule where the evidence in this schedule is corrected for equivalent productions to establish the unit costs added by the section that shows units transferred out and the ending work in process.
“In essence inventory control enables the business to have what it needs, when it needs it to do business” (Johnson, 2018 para, 1). When figuring the equal units remember that one unit is 100% completed and half of a unit is only 50% completed, so the information only accounted for the equivalent that amount to 2,000 in finished units in your inventory where the work prepared on the physical units are expressed in stipulations of fully completed units. Hence, if your ending stock contains 4,000 units which are only 50% complete, that is equivalent to having 2,000 finalized units at month end. Concluding in the report inventory could be conveyed as holding 4,000 physical units or 2,000 equivalent units. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to me at any time.
