The decision-making process is importan

The decision-making process is importan

The decision-making process is important at every level of an organization.Regardless of position, workers are faced with making daily decisions. Apply the
six-step rational decision-making model
, to the following situation:
A large advertising agency is working with a client who wants to gain market shares from its competitors by marketing to young professionals. The agency needs to decide whether to spend all of the marketing funds on a single form of media (internet, television, or radio) or to spread it across all three. What decision would you make? Why?
I will ONLY need you to do steps 3+4+5+6, each 4-5 sentences least.
(reading material)
The six step Rational Decision-Making Model
The basic tenet of the
rational decision-making model
is to identify and select the out- come that is of maximum value to the organization. In this model, the decision-making process has six steps:
Define the problem
. Often, identifying the problem is fairly straightforward, as it is in the sample scenarios above. This is not always the case, however, and manag- ers must be careful not to act too quickly, lest they make the mistake of solving the wrong problem. For example, instead of quickly identifying assemblers as the problem after a series of line shutdowns, an assembly-line manager might inves- tigate further and discover that the real problem is an ineffective protocol or a faulty machine.
Identify the criteria
. After defining the problem, the organization should determine its objectives for the decision and the process needed to accomplish it. Looking back at the scenario about the high-tech company with two new products, the company may have the ultimate objective of increasing sales, but it may also desire greater brand awareness, improved customer loyalty, and greater market share. The company also needs to consider how it plans to mass-produce, distrib- ute, and sell each of the two possible new products. The rational decision-making process requires the decision maker to identify all relevant criteria.
Weigh the criteria
. Different criteria will have different levels of importance to
the decision maker. The rational decision maker will determine relative values for the various criteria by examining the pros and cons of each. Our high-tech company, for example, would weigh the relative importance of brand awareness versus customer loyalty or the high cost of producing a more innovative product versus the lower cost of producing a new version of an already popular product.
Generate alternatives
. The fourth step is to generate all possible solutions to the problem. Instead of limiting the scope of the decision to choosing either prod- uct A or product B, the high-tech company might also consider the feasibility of releasing both products on a smaller scale or even waiting on both products in favor of developing a third. The company might also revisit the various develop- ment and marketing criteria for each of the original products to see if more effec- tive or lower-cost alternatives exist. In the rational decision-making approach, this investigation continues until the cost of the search for alternatives exceeds the value of any additional information (Bazerman, 2002).
Rate each alternative on each of the criteria
. With this step, organizations assign numeric ratings to each of the alternatives generated in step 4 in relation to each of the criteria identified in step 2, in an effort to determine how well each alterna- tive is able to satisfy the criteria. This step can be especially difficult because it requires the decision maker to forecast future events. For our high-tech company, trying to predict which productthe innovative, expensive item or the less- expensive revampwill ultimately be most profitable will be tricky indeed. This is because the first alternative may have a less favorable rating on price and risk but a more favorable rating on quality or consumer appeal, whereas the second may be at the opposite end of the rating scale on each of these criteria.
6.
Compute the optimal decision
.In a perfect situation,the optimal decision is calculated simply by multiplying the rating of an alternative by the value of weighted importance given to each criterion, and then adding the totals for an aggregate score. This is done for each alternative, the scores are compared, and the one with the highest score is chosen. The rational model of decision making assumes that the decision maker fulfills each step in a completely rational manner by fully defining the problem, identifying all criteria, accurately weighing the criteria, identifying all possible alternatives, accurately assessing the alternatives, and choosing the alternative that yields the maximum value. Follow- ing the model will always produce a solution that is completely informed, perfectly logical, and economically oriented. As you can probably guess, however, this model is really more useful for theoretical purposes; it describes how decisions
should
be made, not how they really
are
made. Real decision makers will always be influenced by subjective factors such as emotions and perceptual biases and are limited by their ability to acquire and process information and their creativity in generating alternatives. Time constraints, budgets, and political considerations also interfere with perfect rationality. These limitations inspired a decision- making model based on the more realistic assumption of bounded rationality.

Please be sure you can deliver this task fully or otherwise please don’t take it.
We expect only high quality person to answer it fully.
Thank you
1.For the following questions – make sure you document them with comments in the code.
2.You must use classes Time1 and BusArrival – You can get those classes in the zip file attached OR here –
https://gist.github.com/rootux/69b4909a090ceae2eb35
3.Alsomake sure that for each method you have a documentation in the header.
4.Make sure that the name of the methods would be exactly as written.
5.The result is 2 files – BusArrivalNode.java, BusStopList.java zipped inside a file.
6.Write as a comment on the API what is the time complexity and the place complexity of every method you wrote.
Question 1:
Class
BusArrivalNode
represents a single item in the linked list.
Class will include the two attributes:
1. BusArrival _busArr
2. BusArrivalNode _next
U must write the constructors and the methods that are necessary in class.
For this class you have to define three constructors:
1. public BusArrivalNode (BusArrival b)
Receive the bus arrival (an object from class BusArrival) next_ field will be set to null.
2. public BusArrivalNode (BusArrival b, BusArrivalNode n)
Gets the bus arrival (object from class BusArrival) and another item n from type BusArrivalNode. The constructor would init the attributes by the given parameters. _next field will point to n.
3. public BusArrivalNode (BusArrivalNode b)
Copy constructor. Notice you have to copy the information (next) itself and not a copy of the pointer. Which means in this case aliasing is the right thing.
The methods in class BusArrivalNode are:
* public BusArrival getBusArr() returns a copy of the bus arrival.
* public BusArrivalNode getNext()- returns pointer to the next item. Notice that aliasing is not a mistake here either. You need to return the pointer
next
and not a copy of the pointer.
* public void aetBusArr (BusArrival b) – receives the bus arrival and update the arrival attribute in the vertex.
* public void setNext(BusArrivalNode next) – receives a pointer and update the pointer attribute to the next item. Notice that aliasing is not a mistake here either. You need to update the information (next) itself and not a copy.
Question 2
Class BusStopList represent a bus stop.
Representation made by a linked list that keeps the bus arrivals to a certain stop. Class attributes are:
*BusArrivalNode _head – head of bus arrival list.
U must write the BusStopList class definition. When the
only
method (instance variable) allowed is pointing to the start of the linked list!
Clearly additional attributes can make the methods more efficient! however, In BusArrivalList class you CANNOT define any other attribute.
Notice the list is not organized by the bus arrival time or by bus number or by any other criterion.
Which means it could be that a bus that arrived at 10:00:00 will be before a bus that arrived at 9:00:00 at the list.
Class constructor is:
Default constructor which creates an empty list.
Class contains few methods:
*Boolean method add which recevies the bus number, number of passengers, bus arrive to stop time (as an object from class Time1 attached below) and adds it to the arrival list. If the adding will be successful = true, else=false. Adding fails when there is already a reaching time in the list that is the same.
*removeAllLine method that gets the bus number and deletes all the instances of the same bus number from the arrival list. If there is no such a number in the list method will do nothing.
*toString method returns representation of all the stored objects in the list that its head _head is Like a string of characters. Every bus arrival will be printed in a different line like:
“Bus no. 27 arrived at 09:24:10 with 13 passengers”
*getPopularLine method returns the most popular bus number. Which means the bus that arrived the most times to stop. If there’s more than one it will return one of them arbitrarily.
Make sure that the solution to this method will be effective( which means that it won’t go over the list more than one time).
* getAverageTime method returns an average of how long you need to wait for any bus to arrive. The average time representation is done in seconds. It can be assumed that there is at least two bus arrivals in the list. Notice the method should return a value from type long.
For example,
if four buses arrived to stop at 9:30:00, 9:40:00, 10:00:00, 10:30:00 (bus number doesn’t matter) then the average time needed to wait is 20 minutes which is 20*60=1200 seconds. We will get the value 1200.
* totalPassengers method returns how many passengers arrived to stop today.
* maxPassengers method returns bus arrival that had the most passengers all day. It can be assumed that there is at least one arrival in the list.
You must write API for the 2 classes.
Notice all the possible errors in the methods.
Write as a comment on the API what is the time complexity and the place complexity of every method you wrote.
Keep the effectiveness of the methods you wrote! Full score will be given only for computational performance.
Constructor
BusStop()
Gets bus number, number of passengers, and The bus station arrival time. And adds it to the arrival list. If successfully added returns-true, else returns- false.
boolean add(int line, int pass, Time1 t)
Gets bus number and deletes all its instances from arrival list. If there no such number in the list, method will do nothing.
void removeAllLine (int line)
Returns the most popular bus number (the one that arrived to stop the most times). If there is more than one it will return one arbitrarily.
int getPopularLine()
Returns an average of time needed to wait until any bus will arrive to stop. The average time representation is done in seconds.
long getAverageTime()
Returns number of passengers arrived to stop all day.
int totalPassengers()
Returns most passengers all day bus arrival.
BusArrival maxPassengers()
Returns a representation of all stored objects in a list. As string character.
String toString()

Swim Club advocate Laticia Featherly ha

Swim Club advocate Laticia Featherly ha

Swim Club advocate Laticia Featherly has been asked to testify at the local school board meeting next week in support of continuing her clubs partnership with the district to provide extracurricular recreational activities for students. The board has indicated that she can have up to 10 minutes to make her case. In preparing her speech, she should remember that it is a good idea to:
a.
limit her presentation to three or four key points, so they will be memorable to the listeners.
b.
provide as many key points as possible in 10 minutes, because one of those points may resonate with one or more board members.
c.
maintain steady eye contact with the chairperson of the school board.
d.
plan for her presentation to last about 15 minutes, because it is better to have too much material than to have too little.

Barry has a wife, Lucy, and 3 children,

Barry has a wife, Lucy, and 3 children,

Barry has a wife, Lucy, and 3 children, Arthur, Brenda and Carrie. He has very little money, but he owns (in his own name) a house that’s worth over $500,000. The house is located at 12 Maple Lane, Hypoville, New Tudor 66666. He is concerned about several things: 1) He wants to remove the house from his name so that it won’t be vulnerable to creditors and because he wants to be eligible for government assistance (such as Medicaid) if he ever needs it. 2) No matter what he does with the property now, he wants Lucy to be able to live in the house for the rest of her life. 3) After his and Lucy’s death, he wants the property to be split among his children. He also wants the children to be able to whatever they want with their individual shares (e.g., to pass it to their children upon their deaths, etc.). Barry comes to you and asks what he should do. Please do the following for Barry: a) Tell him how he should convey his property. What interests should he give to whom? What kind of remainder interests and tenancies should he give to the children, etc.? Also, what kind of deed should be used to effect this conveyance? b) Please publish a deed to transfer Barry’s property in the manner you suggested in part (a) of your answer. There is NO need for an IRAC-based essay for this assignment. Part A can be satisfied in standard letter form.
