Some foundations/corporations prefer a letter of inquiry to determine whether the applicant falls within the foundation's guidelines. In this case, an inquiry letter used instead of a cover letter and proposal. It is very succinct, and attachments are not included. If the funder determines the organization and project fit within it's scope, the organization will be directed to submit a complete proposal. If not, a decline letter is usually issued at that time. A letter of inquiry should meet the following criteria:

Includes funder's name, title, and address
Is directed at the individual responsible for the funding program
Provides a brief overview of the organization and its purpose
Includes the reason for the funding request
Includes the amount requested (if required by funder)

Discussion Question
A realistic approach to understanding conflict management styles is to divide them into two broad types: collaborative (win-win) versus competitive (win-lose). 

Issue:
You are supposed to tell which type of conflict will arise in following situation and what will be the aftereffects if it will not be resolved.(word limit: maximum 150)

Situation:
"The sales team of the toys manufacturing company claimed that they made the boost sales in the current year than previous years so there should be extra bonuses for their welfare and encouragement but management is not ready to announce extra bonuses according to the efforts of sales team."

..........

solution:

Type of Conflict:-
In this situation competitive conflict (win-lose) will arise as staff demands more bonuses after they claim increase in the sales and management is not prepared to announce more bonuses.

Afteraffects:

A competitive process will most likely have the following effects on the parties:
Communication is obstructed as the conflicting parties try to gain advantage by misleading each other through false promises and misinformation. Communication is ultimately reduced as the parties realize they cannot trust one another's communications as honest and informative.

"Obstructiveness and lack of helpfulness lead to mutual negative attitudes and suspicion of one another's intentions. One's perceptions of the other tend to focus on the person's negative qualities and ignore the positives."
The parties are unable to effectively divide their work and end up duplicating efforts. When they do divide it, they continuously feel the need to check each other's work.

Ongoing disagreement and critical rejection of ideas reduces participants' self-confidence as well as confidence in the other parties.

The conflicting parties seek to increase their own power and therefore see any increase in the other side's power as a threat.

The competitive process fosters the notion that the solution of the conflict can only be imposed by one side on the other. This orientation also encourages the use of coercive tactics such as psychological or physical threats and/or violence. This process tends to expand the range of contested issues and turns the conflict into a power struggle, with each side seeking to win outright. This sort of escalation raises the motivational significance of the conflict for the participants and makes them more likely to accept a mutual disaster rather than a partial defeat or compromise.

Answer:
Purposiveness: The manager has started with a definite aim or purpose for the research.
Rigor: A good theoretical base and a sound methodological design would add rigor to a purposive study.
Testability: The researchers made random selection of employees of the organization and study of the previous research done in the area
Replicability: Replicability is reliability that is assured before making conclusions
Precision and confidence: Researchers have confidence that the research will be succeeded.
Objectivity: The consultants were required to recommend the conclusions drawn through the interpretation of the analysis
Generalizability: Generalizability refers to the scope of applicability of the research finding in one organizational setting to other settings.
Parsimony: simplicity in explaining the phenomena or problems that occur, and in generating solutions for the problems

........

Hallmarks of scientific investigation:

Following can be said to be hallmarks of scientific investigation:
• Purposive ness
• Rigor
• Testability
• Reliability
• Precision and Confidence
• Objectivity
• Generalizability
• Parsimony




Analysis of problem solution:

On looking upon the problem statement, it is extracted that ABC co. is a company dealing with skin care products and have a large number of customers. Due to some inter-organizational problems the company started to lose its customer numbers. So in order to eradicate this problem, CEO hired the consultants to find the reasons and solve the issue. The consultants started their work with systematic approach and conducted surveys and did their job side by side covering all elements of an efficient research. Due to this method, they were supposed to give 90 percent of positive results.
On a critical analysis, both the researchers have worked upon the elements of scientific investigation quite well. They went side by side in equal collaboration with each other, matching the results and emitting the mistakes. They carried out surveys of both customers and employees and then concluded their results on the basis of extracted readings. They carried out the hallmarks of scientific method/research and touched almost every part of it. They were logical and purpose oriented in their approach towards problem solution. They were also careful, exact and to the point in solving the said problem as they omitted any irrelevant material. As they were two researchers working on the same project so it is quite likely to have many times replicate the original experiment. It ensures the working of the said gentlemen trust worthy and confident. They were precise and confident in their findings as they were conducting and going side by side of every solution of the problem. Every step involved in the problem solution was carried out simply and economically.
After all this discussion, it can also be notable that the scientific research can not give you exact results of 100% for your problem. Obviously it will be hard to meet all the hallmarks of scientific investigation but an attempt can be made to get at least near to it.

This is to inform that Graded Discussion Board (GDB)

will be opened according to the following schedule

Schedule

Opening Date and Time

Topic for Discussion

"Entrepreneurship"

Note: The question will be from the topic mentioned above. So start learning about the topic now.

..........

Your family owns a successful business that exports surgical instruments to the European countries. Your father offers you to join family business on completion of MBA. Will you accept or reject his offer? Give good reasons of your decision.

.........

Solution No: 1
I will accept his offer.
Reasons
Established and running business
Approach in International market
And by accepting this offer you do not have to worry about the starting of business.
You also not have to manage the initial stages and requirements that a newly started business requires.
And as many advantages that you know about this can become reasons for the acceptance of the offer.

Solution No: 2
I will not accept the offer.
Reasons
As I do not have the experience of running a business
I also have no experience to deal with foreign customers
There may be not be a bright future of this business
I don't have any know how about import and export procedures
And I do not know much about these medical equipments as this is not my field.
And many other disadvantages that you can mention will be the reasons for rejecting the offer

.......

I will join only if I can overcome the following problems in the family business:-

1.The interests of a family member may not be aligned with the interest of the business. For example, if a family member wants to be president but is not as competent as a non-family member, the personal interest of the family member and the well being of the business may be in conflict.

2. The interests of the entire family may not be balanced with the interests of their business. For example, if a family needs its business to distribute funds for living expenses and retirement but the business requires those to stay competitive, the interests of the entire family and the business are not aligned.

3. The interest of one family member may not be aligned with another family member. For example, a family member who is an owner may want to sell the business to maximize their return, but a family member who is an owner and also a manager may want to keep the company because it represents their career and they want their children to have the opportunity to work in the business.

...........

I would not decide to join because joining the family business can bring some of the following risks:-

1-Disagreements among family can spill from the professional to the personal and vice versa. That problem can be particularly acute with spouses who are in business together. A hostile family workplace is even more brutal because people know exactly where your buttons are.
2-Business-related disputes can linger. They can destroy the family for a while.
3-Family business often blurs work-life boundaries. 
4-Financial risk is magnified in a family business setting.
5-Owning a family business tends to create more stress.
6-Participants in a family business tend to take less time off than they did previously.

..........

Advantages of joining the family business:-

1-Being your own boss and the schedule flexibility that comes with it.
2-Creating long-term job security for you and other family members who are part of the business.
3-Generating family wealth.
4-Working with people you know intimately and learning more about them via professional interaction.
5-The opportunity to run sizable portions of a business and escape the corporate ladder.
6-The chance to diversify your business skill set.
7-Me and my family are likely to share the same ethos and beliefs on how things should be done. This will give me an extra sense of purpose and pride - and a competitive edge for your business.
8-Building a lasting family enterprise means I am more likely to put in the extra hours and effort needed to make it a success. My family is more likely to understand that I need to take a more flexible approach to my working hours.
9-Strong personal bonds mean me and my family members are likely to stick together in hard times and show the determination needed for business success.
10-Knowing I am building for future generations encourages the long-term thinking needed for growth and success - though it can also produce a potentially damaging inability to react to change.
11-Family members may be more willing to make financial sacrifices for the sake of the business. For example, accepting lower pay than they would get elsewhere to help the business in the longer term, or deferring wages during a cash flow crisis. I may also find I don't need employers' liability insurance if I only employ close family members

..........

join the business because:
Entreprenure wants to avoid risk where there is a clear opportunity and when you are entering into a sattled business you do not need to be worried about the opportunity cost. Also your family is there to support you and it will be more benificial to get experience from your own family. you will be self employeed and will have more chance to explore your abilities and practice your ideas in the international market.

........

As an entrepreneur I would like to take the opportunity to join my family business because, the business is alerady established and running and this business already has an approach in International market, also I must have a mind set for this business because of my family. By accepting this offer I do not have to be worried about starting a new business.I also don't have to manage the initial stages and requirements that a newly started business requires.It will also provide me an opportunity to get experience of business and international market.

MGT101 GDB solution

As in Period of Price rising, current market price of the inventory will be higher than the previous market price on which inventory was purchased by the business.

This case shows that the current market price is higher than the previous price rather the tax will be increased but the net profit according to FIFO method, the lower value counted of the current stock doesn't affect the market position and expense cost on the stock belower and profit will be higher. As the current stock is valued at recent most prices, the current assets of the company have the latest assessed values.

ECO401 GDB Solution

The elasticity of supply measures the percentage change in the quantity supplied of a commodity as a result of percentage change in its price. It is a pure number and is positive because price and quantity move in the same direction. In general, percentage change in elasticity is used instead of absolute change in elasticity. The slope of supply is an unsatisfactory measure of the responsiveness in the quantity supplied of a commodity with respect to the change in its price but the concept of elasticity of supply has overcome this difficulty.

With reference to the above scenario, why is the slope of supply an unsatisfactory measure of the responsiveness in the quantity supplied of a commodity to a change in its price?

Note: Your answer must be within the range of 75-100 words.

..........

Solution:

The elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness the quantity supplied to a change in the price of that commodity.

Because supply curves slope upwards, the elasticity of supply is positive. As we move along a supply curve, positive price changes are associated with positive output changes. An increase in price causes an increase in quantity sold. The more elastic is supply the larger the percentage increase in quantity supplied in response to a given percentage change in price. Thus elastic supply curves are relatively flat and inelastic supply curves relatively steep.

There are important special cases. If the supply curve is vertical, -the quantity suplied does not change as prices changes- elasticity of supply is zero. A horizontal supply curve has an infinitely high elasticity of supply: A small drop in price would reduce the quantity producers are willing to supply from an indefinetely large amount to zero.
