Introduction The understanding, knowledge and use of quantitative approach or tools and methodologies for running an effective analysis are highly important in today’s world. Each business, despite its size or industry, has its specific needs and goals, so in order to reach these goals effectively it is important to use such tools and techniques, for example: decision making, linear programming, forecasting, optimization, inventory, simulation and many more. The use of such techniques can help to
Over the years, many concepts have been proposed on how to remedy sub-par conditions, the Coase Theorem being an interesting example. The Coase Theorem provides an explanation of how these conditions can be resolved and will be discussed in relation to a specific example. One example of a suboptimal condition is that of property damage. Person A had decided to build a go-kart course, but during this process, Person B believed that the course has been built on part of his land, thereby decreasing

The same as the builders, teachers provide temporary support to help learners to develop new concepts, new skills, and new knowledge. Once the learners acquire the skills,
I am a project manager given a specific scenario. In this paper I will outline how I think the project would best be managed given the specific contstraints. Keywords: team structures, software process models, project managementThe scenario is that I am a project manager in charge of developing an application similar to one I have developed previously, however it is larger and more complex than before. The requirements of the project are clearly defined I will outline the best team structure and
