Suppose you are a manager of an event management company. Your team is responsible for
running various events. Each event, depending on its nature, runs for varied lengths. Your
company policy is such that you charge a flat amount for each event your team is managing
(irrespective of the duration a particular event). The size of the team that you are running is such
that your team can manage to run one event at a particular time i.e. your company is unable to
run multiple events at a particular time. More formally, if there are two events i and j, the events
are mutually compatible (i.e. you can select both i and j) if s>f, or s,>f, where s, and
f, are the start and finish time of the event i.
You are required to select events that your team is going to manage so that you can maximize the
profit for your company.
The following table shows some candidate events for your company to manage for a particular
day. Find out which events would you select such that you can maximize the profit…

wants to make sure that he maximizes his returns by covering as many photoshoots in a day as
possible. For a product shoot to be conducted, the product first has to be staged and then

can stage another product in another part of the studio while Xavier is busy with a photoshoot of a
previously staged product. Assuming that his team can work on only one product at a time before they
move to staging another and Xavier also finishes one product photoshoot before moving to the next,
you are expected to help Xavier make best use of his team and his time by deciding the order in which

- DIRECTION: The aim of this activity is for you to design an innovative timepiece for your own use. This could be in the form of a wristwatch, a mantelpiece clock, an electronic clock, or any other kind of clock you like. Your goal is to be inventive and exploratory. Nowadays, timepieces (such as clocks, wristwatches etc.) have a variety of functions. They not only tell the time and date but they can speak to you, remind you when it's time to do something, and provide a light in the dark, among other things. Mostly, the interface for these devices, however, shows the time in one of two basic ways: as a digital number such as 23:40 or through an analog display with two or three hands-one to represent the hour, one for the minutes, and one for the seconds.

- Your company urgently needs a new manager in another division, and you have been invited to apply for the position. However, one of the job requirements is competence in the use of some sophisticated CAD (computer aided design) software. Currently you do not have that competence, but you are enrolled in a CAD course, so eventually you will have that competence (but not before the deadline for filling the new job). The application form for the job requires you to state whether or not you have the necessary CAD software competence. Is it ethically permissible to claim that you have (in order to get the job for which otherwise you are well qualified), even though strictly speaking this is not true? Would your answer be any different if your current boss informally (off the record) advised you to misrepresent your qualifications in this way, giving as his/her reason that you are overall the best qualified person for the new managerial position?arrow_forwardFor this system: Airline Reservation System For Customers Book Flights Buy Tickets Make Payment Print Boarding card Cancel booking For management staff Create new Flights Modify Flights Details Flights cancel ....

Her manager, Bob, has asked her to draft a response to an RFP from a large company that is seeking IT consulting services in connection with a new accounting system. As Sally worked on the RFP, she noticed a specific question about her firm’s recent experience on this type of system. To the best of her knowledge, the firm has only worked on one other accounting project in the last three years. When Bob saw Sally’s draft response, he was upset about the way she answered the question. “You don’t have to be quite that candid,” he said. “Even though we only had one formal project, we do have several people who worked on accounting systems before they came here.” “Yes,” Sally replied, “But that isn’t what the question is asking.” As he left her office, Bob’s final comment was, “If we want that job, we’ll have to come up with a better answer.” Thinking about it, Sally isn’t comfortable with anything but a straight answer.…arrow_forwardMany of Hoosier Burger’s customers work in the downtown area, so Bob and Thelma think a noon delivery service will offer additional convenience to their customers.
