Como consultores, orgulhamo-nos de propor estratégias de investimento personalizadas ajustadas aos nossos clientes & # 8217; Necessidades individuais.

Por extensão, fornecemos acesso a conhecimentos financeiros, fiscais e jurídicos, a fim de permitir a consolidação de questões patrimoniais da família (serviços de family office).
PROCESSO DE INVESTIMENTO PARA FUNDOS MUTUAIS (SOMENTE EM LONGA DURAÇÃO):
de Pury Pictet Turrettini & amp; A Co Ltd procura gerentes que tenham estratégias de longo prazo consistentes, originais (diferenciadas) e estáveis. Procuramos investir com gerentes que identificamos como fornecendo outperformance de longo prazo, permitindo uma pequena rotação de fundos. Esses gerentes devem ter um histórico de desempenho em diferentes ciclos de mercado. Desenvolvemos relacionamentos de longo prazo com esses gerentes e monitoramos regularmente seu desempenho, reunindo-nos com eles. Embora predominantemente qualitativa em nosso processo de seleção, uma análise quantitativa também é realizada.
Gestão de ativos.

FILOSOFIA DE INVESTIMENTOS:
de Pury Pictet Turrettini & amp; A Co Ltd procura identificar empresas que têm potencial para criar valor ao acionista no médio e longo prazo. Esse potencial pode ser estimado por:
o poder aquisitivo do capital investido atual, uma avaliação das vantagens competitivas que proporcionarão um alto nível de lucratividade e uma contribuição substancial para o crescimento, a diferença entre o valor presente e potencial da empresa com base nesses fatores (valor alvo).
Essa filosofia foi implementada com sucesso desde 1999 em ambientes financeiros e econômicos muito diferentes.
Processo de investimento de capital:
Usamos uma análise de baixo para cima que nos permite atingir as empresas mais atraentes. O nosso universo de investimento é constituído pelas 400 maiores empresas europeias (normalmente com uma capitalização de mercado superior a 3 mil milhões de euros).
A primeira etapa consiste em identificar candidatos a investimento aplicando critérios financeiros como retorno sobre patrimônio líquido (ROE), histórico, lucros futuros e nível de endividamento.
Na segunda etapa, submetemos os candidatos a uma análise fundamental:
Análise do retorno sobre o capital investido (ROIC), relação entre dívida e fluxo de caixa livre e lucros futuros e perspectivas de dividendos. Análise da vantagem competitiva com base no modelo de Michael Porter, ou seja, concorrência, potenciais novos entrantes, clientes, fornecedores e quaisquer produtos de substituição. Nesse estágio, também temos que tomar uma decisão sobre a qualidade da gestão e sua estratégia. Valorizar a empresa e determinar seu preço-alvo com base no fluxo de caixa descontado ou modelos futuros de dividendos. Otimizar os pontos de entrada no portfólio, monitorando os detalhes técnicos da empresa e seu provável fluxo de notícias futuro (relatórios de ganhos, etc.).
A terceira etapa envolve a construção da carteira atual, geralmente com 25 a 40 ações que têm o potencial de superar significativamente o mercado. Garantimos que há diversificação de grupo para limitar os riscos específicos dos setores.
Escritório familiar.
de Pury Pictet Turrettini & amp; A Co Ltd propõe um modelo de negócios específico e especializado para o gerenciamento de seus ativos.

Conhecendo nossa profissão.
As áreas de investimento estão sendo constantemente diversificadas e os métodos de investimento estão em constante mudança.
A crescente complexidade do mundo financeiro exige agora uma concepção global dos nossos negócios, uma vez que além da gestão convencional de carteira individual e institucional, a experiência em finanças corporativas é uma contribuição valiosa para o que fazemos. É por isso que oferecemos uma gama completa de conselhos projetados para estratégias de investimento específicas.

Sabendo o nosso tempo.
de Pury Pictet Turrettini & amp; A Co Ltd desenvolveu uma experiência substancial em investimento socialmente responsável.
Isso torna possível construir e otimizar um portfólio sustentável, onde de Pury Pictet Turrettini & amp; A Co Ltd integra as dimensões ambiental, social e de governança no processo de análise e gerenciamento.
Conhecendo nosso ambiente.
Os últimos anos mostraram a extrema instabilidade do ambiente econômico e financeiro mundial. Nosso negócio exige observação constante dos sinais de mudança naquele ambiente.
Como consequência direta da globalização econômica, por exemplo, o surgimento das microfinanças é um dos nossos principais focos, o que levou à nossa participação na criação de uma empresa especializada nessa área (Blue Orchard), para oferecer produtos que proporcionam retornos financeiros e são satisfatórios em termos de ética macroeconômica.
Como a questão da sucessão nas empresas familiares é fundamental para o nosso tecido econômico, criamos uma firma de private equity na forma de uma sociedade limitada Zurmont Madison Private Equity L. P., que levantou 250 milhões de francos suíços. Apoiado por eminentes empresários, oferece soluções fiscais e industriais para os pequenos empresários que estão preocupados com a melhor maneira de entregar suas empresas.
Adaptar-se ao meio ambiente é:
ser claro para entender o que os desafios futuros serão imaginativos para encontrar soluções efetivas para que novos problemas sejam flexíveis, com um processo simples de tomada de decisão dentro de uma organização realista.
Conhecendo nossos parceiros.
Por sermos independentes, temos o enorme privilégio de escolher nossos parceiros, mas essa independência também é acompanhada do dever de conhecer cada um desses parceiros, algo que muitas vezes é subestimado.
Temos regras no processo de seleção dos parceiros locais e internacionais com quem trabalhamos (bancos, analistas, corretores, especialistas fiscais e advogados). Dessa forma, nosso processo de seleção deve muito a experiência, mas também a uma sólida análise e documentação.
Reconhecendo oportunidades.
Ao nos mantermos atentos às grandes tendências do mercado, estamos comprometidos em aproveitar as oportunidades assim que elas surgirem, desenvolvendo veículos de investimento inovadores e recompensadores.
Em energia, por exemplo, queríamos que nossos clientes participassem da reestruturação do setor elétrico mundial. Lançamos dois fundos que investem em todo o mundo em empresas de primeira linha em energia elétrica convencional e renovável.
Aproveitar oportunidades significa:
reconhecimento de indústrias em crescimento que selecionam empresas que se beneficiarão de mudanças regulatórias ou outros desenvolvimentos em suas indústrias, criando os veículos mais adequados para permitir que nossos clientes se beneficiem dessas novas oportunidades de investimento.

A anatomia da diversificação bancária ☆
Usamos dados de painel de nove países durante o período de 1996-2008 para testar como a diversificação de receita afeta o valor do banco. Contando com uma estrutura abrangente para a medição do desempenho dos bancos, encontramos evidências robustas contra um desconto de conglomerado, ao contrário dos estudos relacionados às empresas industriais. Pelo contrário, a diversificação aumenta a rentabilidade do banco e, como conseqüência, também as avaliações de mercado. Este efeito de desempenho indireto não depende se a diversificação foi alcançada através do crescimento orgânico ou através da atividade de M & A. Demonstramos ainda que resultados anteriores na literatura sobre o impacto da diversificação no valor do banco presumivelmente diferem devido à forma como a diversificação é medida, e a negligência do efeito do valor indireto através da lucratividade do banco. Nossas evidências contra um desconto de conglomerado no setor bancário permanecem robustas também durante a crise do subprime.

Capítulo Introdução ao Gerenciamento de Projetos.
História do Gerenciamento de Projetos Um dos primeiros exemplos de gerenciamento de projetos.
foi a construção das pirâmides no Egito Henry L. Gantt (1861-1919) acrescentou um importante.
ferramenta de visualização em torno de 1917 com o Gantt.
No final da década de 1950, a DuPont Company desenvolveu o.
Método do Caminho Crítico (CPM) Também no final da década de 1950, Booz Allen Hamilton.
desenvolveu a Avaliação e Revisão do Programa.
Technique (PERT), que modela a incerteza em.
Importância do gerenciamento de projetos O gerenciamento de projetos efetivamente controla.
mudança organizacional, permitindo que as organizações.
introduzir novos produtos, novos processos e novos.
programas de forma eficaz. Os projetos estão se tornando mais complexos, tornando-os.
mais difícil de controlar sem formal.
estrutura de gestão. Projetos com substancialmente diferentes.
características, especialmente em TI, estão surgindo. O gerenciamento de projetos ajuda equipes multifuncionais.
para se tornar mais eficaz.
Comente sobre a importância do gerenciamento de projetos Finalmente, estamos começando a ver a pesquisa que.
comprova o quão importante é o gerenciamento de projetos.
sem gerentes de projeto bem treinados e capazes.
a porcentagem do PIB gasto por meio de projetos é.
inflado devido a muitos excedendo seu orçamento.
através da má gestão.
Richard Pharro, autor e consultor (2003)

O que é um projeto? Um projeto é um esforço temporário realizado para.
criar um produto ou serviço exclusivo. (PMBOK,
2000) Um projeto é um conjunto bem definido de tarefas ou.
atividades que devem ser todas concluídas para.
atender aos objetivos do projeto. Dois predominantes.
características Cada tarefa pode ser iniciada ou interrompida de forma independente.
de outras tarefas As tarefas são ordenadas de tal forma que devem ser.
realizada em uma sequência tecnológica.

Famous Project Failures In 1988, Westpac Banking Corporation initiated a.
5-year, 85m project to improve its information.
sistema. Three years later, after spending 150m.
with nothing to show for it, they cancelled the.
project and eliminated 500 development jobs. The computerized baggage handling system at the.
Denver International Airport delayed the opening.
of the airport from March 1994 to February 1995.
and added 85 million to the original budget. O.
baggage system continued to unload bags even.
though they were jammed on the conveyor belt. O.
system also loaded bags into telecarts that were.
already full. Hence, some bags fell onto the.
tracks, causing the telecarts to jam. The timing.
between the conveyor belts and the moving.
telecarts was not properly synchronized, causing.
bags to fall between the conveyor belt and the.
telecarts. Then the bags became wedged under the.
telecarts, which were bumping into each other.
Famous Project Failures (cont.) Disney's shipbuilder was six months late in.
delivering its new cruise ships in 1998.
Thousands of Disney customers who had purchased.
tickets had to be compensated for making.
different plans. In 1997-99, Universal Studios in Orlando,
Florida, built a new restaurant and entertainment.
complex, a two year project. The opening was.
delayed by three months. The Big Dig road construction project in Boston.
(1987-2007) was budgeted at 5.8b but cost over.
15b. The project resulted in criminal arrests,
thousands of water leaks, death of a motorist.
from a tunnel collapse, and hundreds of millions.
of dollars in lawsuits. In 2005, UK grocery chain J. Sainsbury wrote off.
its 526m investment in an automated supply chain.
management system. They hired 3000 additional.
workers to stock their shelves manually.
Reasons why Projects Fail Improper focus of the project management system,
por exemplo. on low level details Fixation on first budget estimates Too much reliance on inaccurate project.
management software Too many people on the project team Poor communication within the project team Incentives that reward the wrong actions.

Project Management Maturity Model (PMMM) PMMM is a formal tool that can be used to measure.
an organization's project management maturity. Once the initial level of maturity and areas for.
improvement are identified, the PMMM outlines the.
steps to take toward project management.
excellence PMMM is based on extensive empirical research.
that defines a best practice database, as well.
as a plan for improving the project management.
Project Management Maturity Model 1. Ad-Hoc The project management process is.
disorganized or even chaotic. Systems and.
processes are not defined. Chronic cost and.
schedule problems exist. 2. Abbreviated Some project management.
processes exist, but underlying principles are.
not consistently followed. Project success is.
largely unpredictable. Cost and schedule problems.
Project Management Maturity Model 3. Organized Project management processes and.
systems are documented and and integrated.
Project success rates, and cost and schedule.
performance, are improved. 4. Managed Projects are effectively.
controlled by management. Project success is.
usually routine. Cost and schedule performance.
usually conform to plan.
Project Management Maturity Model 5. Adaptive Continuous improvement of the.
project management process occurs through.
feedback and testing of innovative ideas and.
technologies. Project success rates, and cost.
and schedule performance, are continuously.

Project Selection - Overview 3. Project risk factors Probability of research being successful Probability of development being successful Probability of project success w. r.t. scope Probability of commercial success Overall risk of project Competitors in market and their reactions.
Project Selection - Overview 4. Quantitative factors Payback period Net present value / internal rate of return Expected commercial value Real options Multifactor scoring.
Payback Period Analysis Number of years needed for the project to repay.
its initial fixed investment.
Example A project costs 100,000 and is.
expected to save the company 20,000 per year.
Payback Period 100,000 / 20,000 5 years.
Comments on Payback Period Easy to calculate and explain, and sometimes can.
be used to achieve a common purpose throughout an.
organização. Ignores the time value of money, including.
interest rates and inflation. Ignores money earned after the payback period.
Net Present Value (NPV) Let Ft net cash flow in period t (t 0, 1. T), where F0 initial cash.
investment at time t 0 and r discount rate of return (hurdle rate)
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Find a value of r such that NPV is equal to 0.
(but this value may not be unique)
Note that, in a typical project, early cash flows.
NPV Example Phase I Research and Product Development 18.
million annual research cost for 2 years. Phase II Market Development 10 million annual.
expenditure for 2 years to develop marketing and.
distribution channels. Phase III Sales All cash flows are after-tax and.
The results of Phase II (available at the end of.
year 4) identify the product's market potential.
as indicated below.
If the discount rate is 5 percent, the discounted.
expected cash flow at the end of the 4th year is.
Expected cash flows (with sale of product at end.
Criticisms of NPV Analysis Assumes that cash flow forecasts are accurate.
ignores the human bias effect Does not take into account the possibility that.
decisions (and therefore cash flows) may adapt to.
changing circumstances over time Ignores project portfolio issues Use of a single discount rate for the entire.
project is problematic, since risk is typically.
reduced as the project evolves.
See coursepack article Hodder and Riggs.
Expected Commercial Value (ECV)
ECV is the expected NPV of the project,
calculated by using the probabilities of the.
ECV Example The design of a new product is expected to take 3.
years, at a cost of 6m/year There is a .8 probability that the product will.
be technically feasible If feasible, the product can be launched in year.
4 with an estimated cost of 5.5M If launched, the product will be a commercial.
success with probability 0.6, earning gross.
revenues of 15M per year for 5 years If it is a commercial failure, then the revenue.
is only 2M per year for 5 years The discount rate is 10 percent.
One-time cost of 5.5M.
Commercial Success Revenue 15M/yr.
Launch New Product.
Commercial Failure Revenue 2M/yr.
Research Product Development.
Discount rate r110.
Discount rate r210.
Example calculation .8(.6)(15)(.4)(2)-5.50.2(
Criticisms of ECV Analysis The possibility of changing decisions in the.
future changes the risk characteristics of the.
project. Consequently, the use of the same discount rate.
may be inappropriate. However, its not clear what other discount rate.
should be used. Thats where the idea of real options analysis.
Real Options Analysis Based on the view that the evaluation of.
financial options can be applied to other.
investimentos. Implicitly finds the correct discount rate by.
expressing the cash flows in the project as a.
combination of flows whose cost of capital is.
supposedly known. In principle, this should give more accurate.
evaluation of projects than ECV. However, the usefulness of real options analysis.
for evaluating projects is unclear.
Real Options Analysis A leader in the application of real options.
analysis is Hewlett-Packard. But they mainly use.
it for procurement and other low risk,
contract-protected decisions, not to evaluate.
projects. Real options analysis is probably not useful in.
high risk industries, such as pharmaceuticals. Real options analysis may also not be useful if a.
company lacks the discipline to end a project.
without delay if the initial investment doesnt.
work out. Real options author N. Kulatilaka says, Although.
you can make any project look good if you build.
in enough options, a real world approach must.
address two questions when exactly do you shut.
it down, and is there a good mechanism in sight.
Multifactor Project Scoring Example.
Multifactor Project Scoring Example To convert various measurement scales to a 0,1.
Note that the exponential scale places a premium.
on being acceptable, but not on excellence.
Multifactor Project Scoring Example.
Note that the linear scale recommends Project A,
whereas the exponential scale recommends Project.
Project Selection as a Portfolio Problem A project is a multi-period investment problem Top management typically allocates resources to.
different product lines (e. g., compact cars,
high-end sedans) Product lines sell in separate (but not.
necessarily independent) market segments Product line allocations (which resources should.
produce which products) may change frequently Conditions in each market segment are uncertain.
from period to period due to competition and.
changing customer preferences.

Project Planning Information 1. Project overview and organization Summary statement, work breakdown structure, organization plan, subcontracting.

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Specifies the end-item deliverables Divides the work, reducing the dollars and.
complexity with each additional division Stop dividing when the tasks are manageable work.
packages, which will depend on Skill levels of group(s) involved Managerial responsibility Length of time Value of task Rules of thumb for tasks small enough for.
estimation, large enough for measurability For example, the 1969 Apollo moon landing project.
had about 500,000 tasks.
Common Problem in WBS Design The usual mistake PMs make is to lay out too.
many tasks subdividing the major achievements.
into smaller and smaller subtasks until the work.
breakdown structure (WBS) is a to do list of.
one-hour chores This springs from the screwy.
logic that a project managers job is to walk.
around with a checklist of 17,432 items and tick.
each item off as people complete them. The Hampton Group (1996)

1.2 Item Procurement.
1.4 Corporate Sponsorships.
Sandbagging A common problem in estimation of task durations.
is building in too much slack (also known as.
sandbagging). Sandbagging often results from poorly aligned.
incentives. If project workers will incur a.
penalty for missing a standard task time, but no.
benefit from completing the task earlier, then.
the natural tendency is to inflate the standard.
task time. A common problem in projects is that sandbagging.
and other slack proliferate.
New Product Development Projects.
Design follows a sequential pattern where.
information about the new product is slowly.
accumulated in consecutive stages.

New Product Development Projects.
What are the tradeoffs when moving from a.
traditional sequential product design approach to.
an overlapped product design approach? Time to market is smaller in the overlapped.
design But the schedule is more vulnerable (which.
requires additional monitoring) Can add further resources to tasks to reduce.
duration--but costs are increased.

Organizational Issues What administrative and control relationships.
should be established between the project and the.
existing organization? How much autonomy and authority should be given.
to the project? What management practices and systems should be.
used to manage the project, and how should they.
differ from those used in the existing.
Fundamental Approaches Project as a Distinct Entity In order to.
maximize the chances of success, it is better to.
organize the project as an entity distinct from.
the rest of the organization. This minimizes.
interdependencies between the project and the.
rest of the organization. Project Integrated into Existing Structure When.
an organization undertakes a new project, strong.
pressures favor the integration of the project.
into the existing structure and management.
But, what is the overall company objective?
Autonomous Projects Tend to be More Successful Because their results are more visible and.
attract more management attention Motivation level tends to be higher Because they suffer less from conflicts over.
priorities than functionally managed projects,
which facilitates time and cost control Because maintaining relationships between the.
project and the organization creates complex.
So, why arent all projects managed as autonomous.
Organizational Pressures for Project Integration Upper management may resist special status for.
projects, because this creates additional risks.
and setup costs as well as jealousy Functional managers like to believe that the.
project falls within their departments.
jurisdiction Department managers may feel threatened by losing.
some of their best resources to the project Personnel may resist transfer to the project,
especially for risky projects and when.
reintegration after the project could be.
difficult Personnel and accounting functions strive for.
standardized methods and procedures across the.
organization Managers of autonomous projects choose methods.
and materials to optimize locally, not globally.
Project Organization Types 1. Functional The project is divided, and.
assigned to appropriate functional departments.
The coordination of the project is carried out by.
functional and high-level managers. 2. Functional matrix A manager is designated to.
oversee the project across different functional.
áreas. 3. Balanced matrix A manager is assigned to.
oversee the project, and interacts on an equal.
basis with functional managers. 4. Project matrix A manager is assigned to.
oversee the project as an independent entity, and.
is responsible for the completion of the project.
There may be a project team, but part time. 5. Project team A manager is put in charge of a.
team drawn from several functional areas who are.
assigned to the project full time.
Matrix Organization Motivated by conflicting incentives in the.
organization functional managers typically want.
to optimize scope and product performance and.
design, project managers focus more on the cost.
and schedule of the project Matrix organization became widely used in the.
1970s and early 1980s More recently, has evolved into many different.
forms (based on reporting structure, level of.
standardization, sharing of responsibility and.

Principles for Determining Autonomy Level in New.
Projects (Project Factors) The greater the strategic importance for an.
organization and the larger the size of the.
project, the more autonomous the project should.
be The more a project is interdependent.
(integrated) (e. g., there is a need for.
frequent project meetings), the more autonomous.
it should be The higher the complexity, and the more the.
projects success depends on its environment, the.
more autonomous it should be The greater the need to meet severe budget/time.
constraints (especially time, from Larson and.
Gobeli), the more autonomous the project should.
be The more stable the resource loading, the more.
economical it is to dedicate resources to the.
project and run it as an autonomous unit.
Decision Model for Determining the Level of.
Autonomy in a New Project A five step decision model (or, scoring model)
is now proposed for determining the level of.
autonomy to be allowed in a new project. This model provides useful structure and guidance.
to the process of determining an appropriate.
level of autonomy. But this model is definitely NOT AN ALGORITHM!
Thus, the same inputs can lead to different.
outcomes, based on judgment and interpretation.
This model is adapted from Organizational.

Decision Model Step 3. Using the information from Steps 1 and 2, make a subjective judgment about the desired level of autonomy in the new project. For example, average the Step 1 and Step 2 numbers.
Decision Model Step 4. Identify to what extent the desired level of autonomy from Step 3 is compatible with the current management culture (which is identified on the following page).
Current Management Culture.
Level or Intensity.
Lowlt--gtHigh Ability to manage in an autonomous mode Percentage of time assigned to projects Quality of reporting process Percentage of resources fully dedicated to.
projects Level of control over budget and management of.
resources Level of control over budget allocation and.
expenditures Ability to make independent decisions about.
technical choices and tradeoffs Project-specific systems and procedures already.
in place Project resources located together Physical separation from parent organization.
________ ________ ________ ________ ________ __.
______ ________ ________ ________ ________.
Find the mean ______.
Decision Model Step 5. Based on the information from Steps 3 and 4, and the relative importance of the project to the organization, make a decision about the appropriate level of autonomy for the project. The numbers from Steps 3 and 4 inform that decision, but should not dominate it.
Scoring Model Application Control System Project A major utility is functionally structured with.
culture unsupportive of project needs Management systems cannot serve project needs for.
planning, control, general administration Severe shortage of specialized human resources,
as they are badly needed for ongoing operations High strategic importance technical failure.
could result in a major public catastrophe Medium to large project cost is around 200.
million, and project duration is 6 years.
Decision Model Control System Project (cont.) Strong need for innovation control system of a.
large and complex distribution network needs to.
be replaced. Members of the project team.
participated in the design of existing control.
system in the 1970s, but the new system is very.
complex and state of the art. Strong need for integration contributions from.
many tech departments are needed and are highly.
interdependent Medium-high environmental complexity many.
external interfaces and high dependency on.
suppliers, because of highly specialized.
consulting services and software/hardware and.
because the number of potential suppliers is.
extremely small. The project impacts many users.
who have to be involved in design and.
implementação. Industry in turmoil inability to.
terminate contracts, bankruptcies,
Decision Model Control System Project (cont.) Project is very politically sensitive, because of.
the visibility the press has given to the.
shortcomings of the present system. Medium budget/time constraints There is no hard.
deadline for the new system, but the risk of.
severe problems in the existing system is too.
high after the target date. Cost issues are not.
critical, but they receive close attention from.
top management. Medium stability of resource loading the level.
of internal resources assigned to the project.
varies from phase to phase, but the most critical.
resources will be with the project throughout. Budget allocation and expenditures are tightly.
controlled by the overall organization. The accuracy of the financial reporting system is.
low poor control system, significant potential.
Summary of Project Organization Structure Project structure is significantly related to.
project success Projects that use a traditional functional.
organization have the worst cost, time and scope.
performance Projects using either a project matrix or a.
project team were more successful in meeting.
their schedules than those using the balanced.
matrix Projects using the project matrix were better.
able to control costs than those using the.
project team Overall, the most successful projects used a.
balanced matrix, project team, or--especially--pro.
ject matrix. But, were these the most successful.
Subcontracting Issues What parts of a project will be subcontracted? What type of bidding process will be used? O que.
type of contract? Should you use a separate request for bids for.
each task or use one for all tasks? What is the impact of subcontracting on the.
expected duration of the project? Should you offer incentives, such as a bonus for.
finishing early? Or require penalties for.
finishing late? How does subcontracting impact risk?
Advice for Choosing a Subcontractor Talk to at least three potential subcontractors Use referrals where possible Face-to-face meetings are essential Tradeoff between quality and price needs to be.
considered Present candidates with test scenarios Communicate your needs and expectations in detail Establish benchmarks for performance Establish guidelines for contract termination.
Chapter Precedence Networks and The Critical Path Method.
Several types of precedence requirements occur in.
Finish-to-start (FS a) Task B cannot start.
until a days after task A is finished.
Start-to-start (SS a) Task B cannot start.
until a days after task A has started.
Finish-to-finish (FF a) Task B cannot finish.
until a days after task A is finished.
Start-to-finish (SF a) Task B cannot finish.
until a days after task A has started.
The most common precedence network has FS 0.
Networks represent immediate precedence.
relationships among tasks and milestones.
identified by the work breakdown.
structure Milestones are tasks that take no time.
and have no cost, but indicate significant events.
in the life of the project (e. g., completion of a.
project phase) Two types of networks.
Activity-on-Node (AON) Activity-on-Arc.
(AOA) All networks must have only one starting.
and one ending point. This can always be.
achieved artificially, where necessary.
Precedence Networks Activity-on-Node (AON)
Precedence Networks Activity-on-Arc (AOA)
AON vs AOA Arguments for AON AON is easier to explain and understand AON is used in most PM software (e. g., Microsoft.
Project) AON does not require the use of dummy tasks to.
represent precedence relationships Arguments for AOA The PERT model (Chapter 6) is based on AOA AOA can be drawn using arc lengths corresponding.
to task durations, which adds intuition to the.
Critical Path Method AON with Two Paths.
The minimum time needed to complete a project is.
equal to the length of the longest path through.
the network this path is known as a Critical.
Path. Activities along the critical path are.
called Critical Activities.

Example 1 Network Paths and Lengths There may be more than one critical path, but.
there must be at least one Critical paths can be found easily using CPM (as.
in MS Project), linear programming or other.
Critical Activities Implications Activity j is a critical activity if LFj ESj.

activity A delay to a critical activity causes a delay to.
the completion of the entire project Therefore, critical activities require.
particularly efficient execution, so they often.

1997) treats a critical path in a project.
similarly to a bottleneck in a manufacturing.

LP Model Motivation It is unnecessary to use an LP model just to find.
the critical paths (because CPM is simpler) However, an LP model can easily be extended to.
evaluate, for example, time / cost tradeoffs,
and task completion time preferences for the.
noncritical activities Also, LP output provides extensive sensitivity.
and related information which should be valuable.
to project managers Whereas, most project management software (such.
as MS Project) does not.

Chapter Planning to Minimize Cost.
Project Budget The budget is an important communication link.
between the functional units and the project Should be presented in terms of measurable.
outputs, which correspond to work packages in the.
WBS Should clearly indicate project milestones Establishes goals, schedules and benchmarks, and.
assigns resources to tasks Serves as a baseline for progress monitoring and.
Types of Budgeting Top-down Budgeting Aggregate measures (cost,
time) provided by top management, based on.
strategic goals and constraints Bottom-up Budgeting Specific measures.
aggregated up from WBS tasks/costs and.
subcontractors Hybrid Top management typically indicates a.
budget constraint, while project managers use a.
bottom-up approach to estimate individual costs.
Types of Costs in Projects Direct costs resource costs, including.
expediting costs. These vary with task duration. Material costs reflect the cost of acquiring.
materials needed to complete work. These vary.
with project scope. Overhead costs administrative costs allocated to.
support the project, and usually not attributable.
to any specific task. These vary with project.
duration. Performance costs / bonuses vary with project.
duration, or sometimes with performance relative.
to milestones, depending on the contract.

Cash Flow Management Need to manage both payments and receipts It is usually better to pay as late and receive.
as early as possible Must consider budget constraints and.
organizational requirements on projects (e. g.,
payback period) Noncritical activities may have flexibility in.
their start times that affects cash flow and NPV Frequently, there is a tradeoff between cash flow.
(prefer LS schedule) and completion time.

Material Management Example.
A total of 32 units of resource must be.
acquired. What is the best ordering policy?
Material Management Example Main Issue How much to order, and when? In the example Single material is needed for Task B (2 units)
and Task E (30 units) Fixed cost (including delivery) to place order.
300 Cost of holding raw materials is 2 times the.
number of unit-weeks in stock Cost of holding finished product is greater than.
the cost of holding raw material, because of.
value added Project can be delayed (beyond 17 weeks) at cost.
of P per week, where P gt 30 x 2.
Material Management Example.
To minimize holding costs, only place orders at.
Latest Start times Can never reduce total costs.
by delaying the project.
Choose the option that minimizes inventory cost.
order cost holding cost of raw materials.
Material Management Example Fixed cost to place order 300/order Cost of holding raw material 2/unit/week Cost of option 1 30012308780 Cost of option 2 3002600.
Time / Cost Tradeoffs Crashing investing in additional resources (and.
usually incurring additional cost) in order to.
reduce individual task durations and therefore.
also overall project duration. What are some methods for crashing? Some practical models minimize total of overhead, indirect, direct.
and penalty costs minimize project duration subject to a budget.

SWOT Analysis of Google.
Introdução.
Google is probably the world’s best-known company for pioneering the search engine revolution and providing a means for the internet users of the world to search and find information at the click of a mouse. Further, Google is also known for its work in organizing information in a concise and precise manner that has been a game changer for the internet economy and by extension, the global economy because corporations, individuals, and consumers can search and access information about anything anywhere and anytime. Moreover, Google also goes with the motto of “Do not be Evil” which means that its business practices are geared towards enhancing information and actualizing best practices that would help people find and search information. Though its business practices in China and elsewhere where the company was accused of being complicit with the authoritarian regimes in censoring information were questionable, on balance, the company has done more good than harm in bringing together information and organizing it.
Market Leader in Search Engines.
Perhaps the biggest strength of Google is that it is the undisputed leader in search engines, which means that it has a domineering and lion’s share of the internet searches worldwide. Google has more than 65% of the market share for internet searches and the competitors do not even come close to anywhere that Google does.
Ability to Generate User Traffic.
Google is a household brand in the world, its ability to drive internet user traffic is legendary, and this has helped it become one of the most powerful brands in the world. Indeed, Google averages more than 1.2 Billion hits a month in terms of the unique searches that users perform on the site. This gives it an unrivaled and unparalleled edge over its competitors in the market.
Revenue from Advertising and Display.
Its revenue model wherein it garners humungous profits through partnerships with third party sites has held the company in good stead as far as its ability to mop up resources and increase both its top-line as well as bottom-line is concerned. This is another key strength of the company that has helped it scale greater heights.
Introduction of Android and Mobile Technologies.
The last of the strengths discussed here relates to its adoption of Android and Mobile technologies, this has resulted in it becoming a direct competitor of Apple as far as these devices, and operating systems are concerned.
Fraquezas
Excessive Reliance on Secrecy.
Google does not reveal its algorithm for searches or even its basic formula as far as internet searches are concerned leading to many experts slamming the company for being opaque and hiding behind the veneer of secrecy. However, in recent years, Google has taken steps to redress this by providing a bare bones version of its unique search engine algorithm.
In recent years and especially in 2013, the company has been faced with declining revenues from ads and as a result, the profitability of the company has taken a hit. This is partly due to the ongoing global economic slowdown and partly because of competitors snapping at its heels in a more aggressive manner. Indeed, Apple has already taken steps to garner search engine revenues in its devices and hence, Google must be cognizant of the challenges that lie ahead.
Overdependence on Advertising.
Google’s business model relies heavily on advertising and the numbers reveal that it gets more than 85% of its revenues from ads alone. This means that any potential dip in revenues would cost the company dearly (literally as well as metaphorically). The point here is that Google has to devise a more robust business model that embraces e-commerce and mobile commerce along with its current business model that is based on ad revenues alone.
Lack of Compatibility with next generation devices.
Another weakness for Google is that it is not compatible with many next generation computing platforms including mobile and tablet computers and this remains an area of concern for the company.
Oportunidades.
Perhaps the biggest opportunity for Google lies in its pioneering effort in providing the Android OS (Operating System) which has resulted in its becoming a direct competitor to Apple and Samsung.
Diversification into non-Ad Business Models.
As discussed earlier, the company has to diversify into non-ad revenues if it has to remain profitable and current indications are that it is adapting itself to this as can be seen from the push towards commercial transactions using its numerous sites like Google Books, Google Maps etc.
Google Glasses and Google Play.
The introduction of Google Glasses and Google Play promises to be a game changer for Google and this is a significant opportunity that the company can exploit. Indeed, this very aspect can make the company take the next evolutionary leap into the emerging world of nano-computing.
Cloud Computing remains a key opportunity for Google as it is already experienced in providing storage and cloud solutions. Indeed, if not anything, it can move into the enterprise market using the cloud-computing paradigm.
The advent of Social Media has seriously threatened Google’s dominance in the internet world and the company has to pull an ace to deal with the increasing features available on Facebook and Twitter.
Another threat to Google is from the emerging area of mobile computing that threatens to pass the company by as newer companies seize the opportunity to ramp up their mobile computing presence.

BUS 650 Week 1 DQ 1 The Role of Financial Management in a Firm.
Examine the role of management as it relates to finance in a corporation. In your post, discuss the role of management by addressing the following prompts:
Explain the various aspects of finance that management must understand.
Describe why a manager needs to understand the characteristics and importance of financial markets including their liquidity, competitiveness, and efficiency.
Interpret the function of the Financial Balance Sheet in assisting in management’s decision making process.
Discuss what could happen if management does not fulfill responsibilities related to finance. Share a real world example from your own professional experience or from an external source.
Your post should be 200-250 words in length.
BUS 650 Week 1 DQ 2 Short Term or Long Term View.
After reading the first two chapters of your textbook, evaluate the following statement:
Managers should not focus on the current stock value because doing so will lead to overemphasis on short-term profits at the expense of long-term profits.
In your post, explain what is meant by this statement. Describe how management might decide whether to focus on short term or long term goals and how that decision impacts the organization. Next, using the financial balance sheet as displayed in the text, compute an example of how focusing on short term profits can be detrimental to long term profits. Share your opinion regarding whether you feel it’s a better option to focus on short term or long term goals. Use evidence from the text or external sources to support your position. Your post should be 200-250 words in length.
BUS 650 Week 1 Financial Management Challenges.
The following video discusses the four types of markets: perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly.
Video 2.1: Market Structures.
Given the market structures as described in the video, find at least two articles from the ProQuest database that highlight and discuss two of the biggest challenges facing financial managers today in these varied market structures. Summarize your findings from the articles in a three to five page paper excluding title page and references page(s). Include how market liquidity, competitiveness, and efficiency impact financial managers.
BUS 650 Week 2 DQ 1 Initial Investment.
After reading Chapters 3 and 4 of your textbook, address each of the following questions:
a) Think of something you want or need for which you currently do not have the funds. It could be a vehicle, boat, horse, jewelry, property, vacation, college fund, retirement money, etc. Select something which costs somewhere between $2,000 and $50,000. Use the “Present Value Formula”, which computes how much money you need to start with now to achieve the desired monetary goal. Assume you will find an investment that promises somewhere between 5% and 10% interest on your money (you choose the rate) and pretend you want to purchase your desired item in 12 years. (Remember that the higher the return, usually the riskier the investment, so think carefully before deciding on the interest rate.) How much do you need to invest today to reach that desired amount 12 years from now?
b) You wish to leave an endowment for your heirs that goes into effect 50 years from today. You don’t want to be forgotten after you pass so you wish to leave an endowment that will pay for a grand soirée yearly and forever. What amount would you like spent yearly to fund this grand party? How much money do you have to leave to your heirs 50 years from now assuming that will compound at 6% interest? Assuming that you have not invested anything today, how much would you have to invest yearly to fully fund the annuity in 50 years, again assuming a 6% monthly compounding rate?
BUS 650 Week 2 DQ 2 Managing Earnings.
Companies often try to keep accounting earnings growing at a relatively steady pace in an effort to avoid large swings in earnings from period to period. They also try to manage earnings targets. Reflect on these practices and discuss the following in your discussion post.
Are these practices ethical?
What are two tactics that a financial manager can use to manage earnings?
What are the implications for cash flow and shareholder wealth?
Using the financial balance sheet as displayed in the text, provide an example of how purchasing an asset or issuing stocks or bonds could potentially impact earnings targets.
BUS 650 Week 2 Return on Investment – Education Funding.
Develop a three to five page analysis on the projected return on investment for your college education and projected future employment. This analysis will consist of two parts.
Part 1: Describe how and why you made the decision to pursue a MBA. Include in that explanation calculations of expenses and opportunity costs related to that decision.
Part 2: Conduct research on your desired occupation and how much compensation (return) you expect to earn. How long will it take to pay back the return on this investment? Be sure to use the financial formulas (Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Payback) provided in Chapters 3 and 4 of your text.
The analysis should be comprehensive and reference specific examples from scholarly sources. The paper should be formatted according to APA.
BUS 650 Week 3 DQ 1 GAAP vs. IFRS.
The United States uses Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as the basis of financial reporting. The International Financial Accounting Standards (IFRS) is an alternative way to report financials. This article from Ernst and Young compares the two methods of financial reporting.
After reading the article from Ernst and Young, answer the following questions:
How does the GAAP reporting method cause cash flows to differ from net income?
How are the features of the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flow utilized in both the GAAP and the IFRS reporting methods?
Does it make sense to adapt a worldwide standard for financial reporting? Should this be mandated or voluntary?
Calculate some of the potential costs and benefits of switching from GAAP to IFRS.
BUS 650 Week 3 DQ 2 Capital Rationing.
Compare and contrast the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), the Net Present Value (NPV) and Payback approaches to capital rationing. Which do you think is better? Por quê?

Using the annual reports of both companies complete the following:
For each company report the amount of capital spending for the past three years. Quantitatively determine whether the amount of capital spending has been consistent or if it has fluctuated. Be sure to provide the calculations used to determine your answer. Describe the capital expenditures of each firm and the factors that impacted the companies’ debt capacity and capital structure.
Next, compare the level of capital spending across the two firms. Point out how the spending was similar and/or different and speculate why the similarities or differences might exist. Support your analysis with evidence from the text, external sources, and articles/reports from the Mergent database in the Ashford Library.
Summarize your findings in a three to five page paper excluding title page and reference page(s). Format the paper according to the APA 6th edition style guide as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Be sure to properly cite your resources using APA style.
BUS 650 Week 5 Journal Capital Budgeting and Dividend Policy.
We examined two very important topics in finance this week; Capital Budgeting and Dividend Policy.
Critically reflect on the importance of selecting the right projects in which to invest capital. Do we always select those projects that have the highest return on investment? What other factors play into capital budgeting decisions?
We also looked at dividend policy. What incentive is there for a company to pay dividends? What signals does dividend policy provide to investors?
BUS 650 Week 6 DQ 1 Comparing Financial Ratios.
Go to MSN Money. (investing. money. msn/investments/key-ratios) and type in a ticker symbol for a company with the first letter of your last name.
Next, complete the following:
uma. Select “Key Ratios” on the left menu panel.
b. There are several categories listed for ratios. Select one “Financial Condition Ratio” and one “Management Efficiency Ratio”.
c. Open the Profile section on the left menu panel and you will see “Industry” is identified. Find a competitive company within that industry and compare those ratios to the ones you just found.
Examine your findings and determine whether your company outperforms its competition based on financial ratios. Identify where your firm seems to lag. Describe how your firm compares with the industry and speculate as to why you believe your firm is performing as it is.
BUS 650 Week 6 DQ 2 Potential Issues in Ratio Analysis.
As your text describes, ratio analysis is a common technique in financial analysis. One of your colleagues states that a thorough ratio analysis is all that is needed in considering the financial health of a company. Although you agree that ratio analysis is a helpful guide, there may be some potential pitfalls in ratio analysis.
Discuss at least three potential issues in utilizing ratio analysis that you would share with your colleague. In addition, calculate a liquidity, profitability, and efficiency ratio from your Week Six company to demonstrate your observations.
Develop a 200 – 300 word explanation supporting your findings.
Evaluation of Corporate Performance.
The Final Project will involve applying the concepts learned in class to an analysis of a company using data from its annual report. Using the concepts from this course, you will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the company and write a report either recommending or not recommending purchase of the company stock.
The completed report should include:
An introduction to the company, including background information.
A complete and thorough financial statement review.
Pro Forma financial statements (Balance Sheet and Income Statement) for the next two fiscal years, assuming a 10% growth rate in sales and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for each of the next two years.
Complete ratio analysis for the last fiscal year using at least two ratios from each of the following categories:
b. Financial leverage.
c. Asset management.
Calculate Return on Equity (ROE) using the DuPont system.

(For example, a strategic objective in the shareholder or Financial Perspective is to increase market share. A metric to actually measure this strategic objective of market share increase is, “The percentage of increase in market share.” The target is the specific number to be achieved in a particular time period. The target for the metric of “Increase market share” could be “Increase market share by 2% for each of the next 3 years” of an increase of 2% per year for 3 years.)

BUS308 Week 5 Final Project Part 1 and Part 2.
To complete this project, use the “Final Project Data Set” found in your eCollege classroom in the Final Project description.
Calculate the mean yearly value using the average gas prices by month found in the “Final Project Data Set.” Using the years as your x-axis and the annual mean as your y-axis, create a scatterplot and a linear regression line. Answer the following questions using your scatterplot and linear regression line: What is the slope of the linear regression line? What is the Y-intercept of the linear regression line? What is the equation of the linear regression line in slope-intercept form? Based on the linear regression line, what would be an estimated cost of gas in the year 2020? What are the residuals of each year? Select a current price that you have seen or paid recently for gas. Is that price within the range of the linear regression line or is it an outlier? Is it within the confidence interval of 5% or either end?
Imagine that you are a manager at a delivery service and you are creating a report to project the effects on your company of rising gas prices in the next ten years. Using the preceding statistical analysis as your basis and outside scholarly resources to support your claims, write a 3 to 5 page paper interpreting the results from this perspective. Include the following considerations:
Introduce the project and its significance to the company. Explain the statistical analysis that you completed in Part I. Be sure to explain where the data came from, what analysis was done, and what the results were. Give conclusions that you have drawn from the data. Consider the effects of your gas price predictions on the delivery business. Also consider whether or not you believe your predicted gas prices are accurate. What could occur in the future that would change your linear regression line and therefore your prediction?
