ISO management system standards provide a model to follow when setting up and operating a management system. .The ISO 9000 family of quality standards are based on the conformance definition of quality to assure customers that a quality product or service will be supplied consistently (Terziovski & Guerrero, 2014). The ISO 9000 family refers to diverse facets of quality management and contain ISO 9001:2015, ISO 9000:2015, ISO 9004:2009, and ISO 19011:2011. Quality management standards aim to advocate companies’ and organizations’ efforts for being certified by guiding them since companies and organizations want to meet customer satisfaction and improve product quality consistently.
The ISO 9000:2015 covers the basic concepts and language,

First five countries are known as emerging and last 5 are known as developed countries. I expect to see nice variation in the number of ISO 9001 holdings both cross country and across time span of 10 years. First available data for ISO 9001 certifications is in 1993. Accepting year 1993 as first adoption of ISO certifications, except Indonesia and Denmark, in all countries evolution of diffusion of ISO 9001 certifications have improved over seven years. After 2002 there is a sharp decline for two years then it continues to improve till the year of 2008 when the effects of financial global crises start to spread over real economies in countries. Considering cross country differences among number of ISO certifications, there is some variation among countries which can be devoted to country specific effects such as country size. I also observe some variation over time which is devoted to time specific effects that causes to differ number of ISO certification held by organizations in …show more content…
To my knowledge, ISO secretary do not classify the data up to one specific industrial classification. As can be seen from table, most of the number of ISO certifications are concentrated on industries such as “basic & fabricated metal products”, “machinery & equipment”, “electrical & optical equipment” and “chemicals, chemical products and fibres”. Considering table 4 which presents the least and most contract intensive twenty I-O industries, I roughly conclude that number of ISO certifications assigned by industrial sector are broadly positively related with contract intensities of I-O industries in 2014. Unfortunately, because ISO secretary does not record number of ISO certifications for each sector and year that is comparable or concordable to other international industrial classifications, here I am not able to represent the correlation between ISO holdings and contract intensity among industries. However, from Table 3, I broadly infer that there is a proximity between number of ISO certifications held by sectors and their contract intensity which is calculated by Nunn (2007). Since contract intensive sectors are the ones produce differentiated goods, the more the industry is contract intensive, the more ISO certifications are expected to be held by that
ABC offers separately priced extended warranties for appliances sold that are non-refundable and have no limits to the potential cost of honoring the warranty. Although ABC does track warranty profits and losses by appliance type, assume that no analysis has been performed to determine the rates at which cost are incurred throughout the warranty period. Assuming that manufacturer warranties provide coverage for the appliance for 1 year from the date of purchase, when should revenues and expenses of such warranties be recognized? FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) topic 605-20-25-3 (Revenue Recognition) states that in regard to extended warranties “revenue shall be recognized in income over the period in which the seller is obligated
G201-2013 Article 1 AIA Document G201-2013 is intended to be used in conjunction with a project specific AIA Document E203-2013 which the Parties will incorporate into their Agreement for the project. This document allows the Project Participants to document the Digital Data protocols for the Project. The specific modeling requirements are addressed in greater detail in G202-2013. The protocols are established in the form documents, rather than in the Agreement, because it is likely that the protocols will change as the project progresses and the Project Participants would have to amend all of their agreements every time the protocols changed which would be unnecessary. Section 1.1 of G201-2013 provides space for a table to be completed
Lastly, I conduct a Level of Service Inventory Assessment (LSI-R) with the offenders that I supervised. The inventory helped the officers develop a supervision plan to address key needs that the offender/client need to be successful while on Probation and/or address their mental health needs or substance abuse needs.
The Uniform Commercial Code refers to a set of regulations that govern all business transactions in the United States. It was initially published in the year 1952 and is used to harmonize the laws that govern transactions in the 50 states. The aim of harmonizing state law is important since there has been a prevalence in the number of commercial transactions that extend beyond a single state. The UCC therefore attained the goal of substantial uniformity in the US’s commercial laws and nonetheless granted the states the flexibility to meet local circumstances by making modifications on UCC’s text as an enactment of every state. Movable property i.e. personal property are what the Uniform Commercial Code deals with primarily.
From the lessons learned from the patients-centered medical home (PCMH), the NCQA was motivated to develop an accreditation process for ACOs. The NCQA tried to accommodate the lessons that they learned from the PCMH programs so as to develop a very excellent program that recognizes that provisions of the high-quality primary care are the foundation of good health. NCQA also recognizes that although the evaluation of the result is very imperative, it is also critical to assess the ACOs using evidenced based criteria. Through these measures, the organizations can learn more about what is needed and what they need to do so that they can be compliant. They can also learn the key elements required for successful transformation of the ACO.
In 2015, a poll was taken from over 1500 National Education Association members, and more than 70 percent of those polled believed that standardized testing is not useful and helpful to students in developing any skills (Walker). Standardized tests have been taken since the early 1900s in many age groups. A standardized test is any sort of test that has both the same questions and the same answers to all people it is given to. They are usually given over wide areas, such as states or even whole countries, and can be used to see what knowledge a general population has gained from their educations. Some major standardized tests are the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the American College Test (ACT).
Standardized testing has a lot of opinion, some are positive and others are negative. Standardized test are mainly used to determine or show the students progress, however, some may think it is bias and unfair. Moreover, standardized test are not standardized at all. They are not made for everyone. Standardized testing has everyone worry.
3. Threat of new entrants High barriers to entry in the industry. Licensing requirements are high. There is a minimum size requirement to achieve profitability and the initial investment is required and fixed costs of operating. How much of the control is in the hands of existing players of the market or key resources?

• Building capacities and spending money on research and development. New entrants are less likely to enter a dynamic industry where the established players such as Twitter, Inc. keep defining the standards regularly. It significantly reduces the window of extraordinary profits for the new firms thus discourage new players in the industry. Bargaining Power of
In this section the author describes the theories that will support the analysis of information. In order to construct a theoretical background for the study the author chose to describe theories regarding the selection of countries. 5.1 Transaction costs theory Transaction cost theory was developed by Coase (1937) and then re-analyzed by Williamson (1979). The theory explains why companies exist and expand their activities to external environments finding out that ‘’A Transaction cost occurs when a good or service is transferred across a technologically separable interface’’.
Globalization typically leads to an increase in the integration and interaction between people of different nations and governments and companies as well. Consequently, the main drivers of globalization are international trade and technological advancements, which make information and communication possible. Nike is among the earlier pioneers of globalization and has benefitted by becoming one of the leading multinational corporations (MNC). Nike was established in 1964 and has experienced expansive growth across the globe in the athletic footwear industry and, in particular, specializing in mass production of athletic shoes. Unfortunately Nike’s strategies to win global market share were heavily scrutinized through criticism of labor and marketing
