Case study – JB Newspapers
JB Newspapers is a significant Western Australian newspaper business. It has experienced strong growth for several years. Through its clever marketing and astute acquisitions it has projected growth of 10% pa revenues for each of the next 5 years. Last year the business had revenues of $120 Million. The paper publishes Monday to Friday and has an average circulation of 150,000 per publishing day. Its revenues consist of $1.50 per newspaper with the rest made of advertising. The company is very profitable and has good reserves of cash and lines of credit.
Physically, the business consists of offices for administration and reporting, and a very old printing facility, which while fully, paid is very expensive to operate compared to modern facilities. The main office is in the city. While it owns this property it believes it can realise $10 Million through its sale. As well, the business has 10 branches scattered throughout the city with total annual rental of $0.5Million.
A preliminary plan has been developed to improve efficiency and allow for continued growth. The elements of the plan are:
• The business will relocate all its current facilities to one, situated in an industrial centre on the edge of the city. The total land acquisition costs will be $2Million and $5Million for the office and administration facilities. The land will allow growth for at least 20 years projected and the planned facilities will allow growth for at least 5 years;
• The production facilities will utilise the most modern techniques and decrease “per newspaper” production costs from $0.30 to $0.15. The capital cost of $15 Million is estimated for this plant;
• As 150,000 newspapers must be distributed from this facility daily, a dispatch and distribution facility is required, along with appropriate infrastructure. The details of this are not well understood but $5Million has been set aside for this;
• A new IT system will be introduced. It is an off-the-shelf system widely used in the industry, and will integrate all journalist, production, advertising, distribution and administration functions of the business. IT hardware will be moved from the old premises (this was upgraded only last year and is thought to have the capacity required). However existing communications services will need to be transferred, new processes built (the new system works differently from the old one), and training and implementation arranged. The new IT system will cost $1.3 Million to purchase. In addition, consultants from the software vendor estimate their team can configure the systems and oversee the implementation requirements in 8 months – 4 months of configuration in their offices and 4 months of on-site support of the in-house project team. Their team will charge a fixed fee once the scope is finalised and this is estimated at $100,000 per month.
• The plan stipulates that there must be no disruption to sales, so this suggested the transfers be completed over a weekend.

Africa Study

Africa Study

A large percentage of African Americans have an ancestry that traces to West Africa, as indicated in colonial-era shipping records and DNA tests (Central Africa is second).

This African origin is/was used to justify many stereotypes about the intellectual and cultural abilities of blacks in America — stereotypes which arguably still influence the U.S. culture. As you write, be sure to differentiate between Africans and African Americans in your discussion as appropriate.

1.Does it make a difference if Americans are unaware or aware of what African pre-colonial ancestry really entails, in terms of believing steretypes? How and why?
2.Even if African Americans consider themselves as American first and completely equal, how would common social perceptions about the past and about racial ancestry/ability complicate everyday life? What are the ramifications for black Americans who are ordinary people, as are most other Americans, rather than exceptional achievers such as Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, George Washington Carver, ect, ?
3.Consider and compare European American and African American understandings about their ancient/contemporary identities and contributions to civilization — or chose another ethnic group to compare to African American people. Is ancestry information useful? Why or why not?
4.Do all people in the nation have the same amount of social power and what are the ramifications of ancestral perceptions given economic and political inequity among blacks, whites and other groups? Could it affect real life opportunities of entire groups of people? Has it in the past? Is it because of a failing in blacks or this about something else?
5.If there are such deep misperceptions about the various peoples and cultures of Africa, how might similar misperceptions carry over to African Americans of the U.S.? How would they manifest and why would they persist?
6.Assuming that blacks are as human as any other group and react and behave fundamentally as any other humans would, what do differences in current human conditions suggest about the influences of culture, exploitation and domination? How can this enlarge our understandings of people and explain human interactions?
