Write 9 pages thesis on the topic the mo ibrahim foundation. Mo Ibrahim Foundation exposes the unsung African leaders who have made tremendous achievements. Winning this award brings them into the limelight and the international arena for recognition. Similarly, winning this award gives them good exposure and puts them in an advantageous position of competing for other competitive awards for their achievements have been recognized (Nsehe 3). There are cases where their contributions are not recognized, and their good work perishes as soon as they leave the office. Therefore, the award is of benefit in exposing the deserving African leaders.

Africans head of states and governments have been reluctant in leaving offices for the past years. They have deployed various tactics to delay their terms in office through driving political coup, committing crimes against humanity and manipulating institutions. Some of these characteristics have been witnessed in the reign of Mugabe, Kabila, and Museveni among others. They have sustained bad governance in their countries, which puts the lives of citizens at risk. The prize is given to leaders who have made tremendous contributions in their nations by promoting good governance and putting structures for prosperity, which eliminates such characters.

The prize award is also distributed to nations that have shown the potential of improvements. It makes political institutions to reinforce a good working system, which allows for prosperity (Nsehe 6). This makes it discourage bad governance as every head of state wants to get the money, hence strives in meeting the criteria. Similarly, money encourages the controlled use of money, which is transferred to African countries because it indicates that nations are awarded money based on their merits and accomplishments. Because of this, the prize encourages African head of states to establish good institutions that promote the prosperity of their nations.

Hi, need to submit a 750 words essay on the topic Strategic Quality and System Management.

Each of these phases requires careful planning, which operations management facilitates in achieving. Through specialisation of activities, it becomes possible to produce in mass quantities in short duration alongside of meeting the objectives of quality. The process of effective operations management involves setting up suitable facilities, procuring resources and developing effective supply chain strategies. Work force management, training and communicating with clients are also essential peripheral activities associated with operations management (Heizer, Render and Weiss, 2004).

The prime motive of an operations management process is to develop systems which facilitate manufacturing quality goods and services. The system design includes phases such as product development, process planning and capacity panning (Slack, Chambers and Johnston, 2010). Product development is a vital part of the success of operations management process. The designed product must be as per the needs and objectives of the organisation. Products must be designed in a manner such that they offer differential benefits to customers as compared with existing competitors (Slack, Chambers and Johnston, 2010). Product designing process would broadly include two important phases, namely technical component and business component. The technical components would include planning for the required tools, machines and selecting the sequence of operations. The business component includes selecting proper human resource and management systems so that the output is achieved as per the pre established plans and objectives of the organisation (Voss, Tsikriktsis and Frohlich, 2002). Process planning is a method which matches and allocates the resources required to different production activities, as per the product design. The capacity planning process includes forecasting demand and determining the type of resources which needs to be acquired

Suppose you have been hired as a financial consultant to Defense Electronics, Inc. (DEI), a large, publicly traded firm that is the market share leader in radar detection systems (RDSs). The company is looking at setting up a manufacturing plant overseas to produce a new line of RDSs. This will be a five-year project. The company bought some land three years ago for $5.1 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic dump site for waste chemicals, but it built a piping system to safely discard the chemicals instead. The land was appraised last week for $5.9 million. In five years, the aftertax value of the land will be $6.3 million, but the company expects to keep the land for a future project. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant and equipment will cost $32.48 million to build. The following market data on DEI’s securities are current: Debt: 236,000 7.2 percent coupon bonds outstanding, 25 years to maturity, selling for 108 percent of par; the bonds have a $1,000 par value each and make semiannual payments. Common stock: 9,400,000 shares outstanding, selling for $71.60 per share; the beta is 1.1. Preferred stock: 456,000 shares of 5 percent preferred stock outstanding, selling for $81.60 per share. Market: 7 percent expected market risk premium; 5 percent risk-free rate.DEI uses G.M. Wharton as its lead underwriter. Wharton charges DEI spreads of 8 percent on new common stock issues, 6 percent on new preferred stock issues, and 4 percent on new debt issues. Wharton has included all direct and indirect issuance costs (along with its profit) in setting these spreads. Wharton has recommended to DEI that it raise the funds needed to build the plant by issuing new shares of common stock. DEI’s tax rate is 35 percent. The project requires $1,450,000 in initial net working capital investment to get operational. Assume Wharton raises all equity for new projects externally and that the NWC does not require floatation costs..a. Calculate the project’s initial time 0 cash flow, taking into account all side effects. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, i.e. 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
