Job Order Costing Overview Job order costing is a process in which the manufacturing costs of different individual items produced within a company are accumulated and assigned. The system is usually applied when the output products have different characteristics, and each product has a different price. It’s also applicable in scenarios where customers make specific orders about the quality of their desired outcome. Every manufactured product is considered a job as well as the offered services. E.g.

Business Research Methods Part 1 For the case study of Uber, we will develop quantitative research where the study is about the effect that a specific burden has on ridership. Different challenges tend to be encountered by the riders that hinder them from operating effectively during their working hours. The burden I have selected for the case study is; Discernment in the workplace. Research Questions After the riders have encountered any discrimination, does it matter in their workplace?

Question 1 on Importance of psychological evaluations in police recruitments The case of John, a young military veteran, who joined peace police after working in low-ranking positions, is a clear indication of why psychological evaluations are essential. Prior psychological evaluations indicated that John had moderate emotional detachments and low levels of empathy. The agency decided to take him to the police academy without going through the psychological tests again. As a result, he was fired a few years after that for unreported cases of abuse of power. This outlines the usefulness of psychological evaluation and why all stages must be completed. It is at this point for the assessment that the agency determines whether an individual is emotionally and psychologically moral to uphold the rule of law and respect other people’s liberty and rights. The psychological evaluation ensures that a person has ethical standards required to take specific responsibilities. The psychologist working for the agency helps them in determining whether the person they are looking to hire must possess the necessary attributes to succeed as a police officer. The fact…

The Crafting and Executing Strategy textbook describes the business environment concept of how a business must use the best strategies with a proper execution from the leadership of able management to help the company get competitively advantaged than other players (Gamble et al., 2015).

The text book’s view is that the strategy adopted by the company to compete with other players in the industry must get in line with its values and goals. Some of the objectives of the company are to become competitive in the marketplace. Therefore, Gamble and his team say the management must come up with the strategies geared towards that focus. Jobber and Lucas’s TPC model concentrates on how…
