Dear students!

As you know that Post Mid-Term semester activities have been started and load shedding problem is also prevailing in our country now a days.

For your convenience; activity schedule has already been uploaded on VULMS for the current semester, therefore no excuse will be entertained after due date of assignments, quizzes or GDBs.

Topic: Global Standardization or international Adaptation

Background:

Companies go global mainly with these three objectives: to increase sales, to diversify/acquire resources or to minimize competitive risk. Once the decision to venture into international markets has been taken, there are two broad strategies, which can be adopted. A fundamental strategic decision has to be made immediately as to; whether employ uniform standards for products (Standardization) or customize the products according to the local culture (Adaptation) to take account of the unique characteristics of each local market. Furthermore standardization is done to achieve economy of scale and the prices of goods are relatively lower with lower profit margins as compared to customized products & adaptation is preferred when host country has higher income level and buying power with greater trend towards luxuries, the prices of goods are relatively higher along with profit margins.

Real Time Case:

Afghanistan is an Asian country with the population over 30 million, covering an area of approximately 647,500 km². Afghanistan became member of World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2004. Afghanistan is enlisted with less developed countries; it has poor economic conditions (almost no major flourishing industry, agriculture and textile), lower income level with less buying power and relatively unstable political environment (security issues, foreign invasion, private action etc.). Social and cultural values of Afghanistan are very much different from Pakistan. One thing to remember here is that; style, trends and preferences of Afghani people and Pakhtunes (residents of Khyber Pakhtunkhuwa of Pakistan) are very much alike when it comes to dresses and shoes. Bata Pakistan is the leading footwear brand of Pakistan. Bata is proved to be a successful shoe manufacturing company in all the market segments (Men, Women, children and people of all ages and cultures) in Pakistan. Consider Bata Pakistan decides to start its business operations in Afghanistan where millions of pairs of shoes may find their consumption.

Question:

By keeping in view the above scenario please discuss that Bata Pakistan should go with Standardization or Adaptation Strategy while doing business in Afghanistan.

CASE
Most of the nationalized corporations in Pakistan have been showing poor performance over the past decades. One of the main and much propagated reasons is the political interference. Due to political interference, a large number of people were recruited in these corporations. The major reason of this recruitment was to get political support in the masses. In order to adjust political interest, merit suffered a lot. People were recruited to posts without having relevant or required qualification and experience. This led to the improper performance of functions in these organizations. This fact led to the misuse of the resources in general and waste of resources in particular. It is evident that all the mentioned factors are linked with each other. This became the reason of too much ever increasing costs and declining revenues. Resultantly these organizations accrue financial loses and stand castigated by the public at large.

Question
Suppose you are appointed as a Total Quality Manager in any of these firms, Suggest how can the practices of TQM help your organization reduce costs and stand profiteering?

Scenario:
Government of Pakistan has an agenda of “Education for all” in its prime goals. But current literacy rate of the country is not satisfactory – and the worst in Baluchistan.

In Baluchistan literacy rate is very low as compared to other provinces of Pakistan. The main reasons include scattered population in wide areas, less number of schools (especially for girls), and lack of resources. Moreover, because of patriarchal culture, most of the girls cannot attend the school.

Provincial Government wants to pay attention to this issue but there are certain constraints like non-availability of teachers, tribal system, poverty, law & order situation, and shortage of funds. To help the Government, international donors are ready to invest in education sector to promote Universal Primary Education and in providing latest and free education for all.

Questions:

Analyze the situation and identify different factors affecting the public agencies in promoting education in Baluchistan. Categorize these factors and briefly explain how they are affecting.
Give suggestions to improve the literacy rate in Baluchistan – keeping in view the identified factors.

Instructions:

Your discussion must be based on logical facts.
Your answer should be relevant to the topic i.e. clear and concise.
No theoretical definitions and explanations are required.

The GDB will open and close on above specified date and time. Please note that no grace day or extra time will be given for posting comments on GDB.

Reference:

Please refer to the case study given in assignment no. 1

Scenario:

Suppose the airline company wants to store following information:

Flight departure/arrival status i.e. either flight departed/arrived late or in time.
Flight type i.e. either flight is connected or direct.

For storing the departure/arrival status a new table with the name “FlightADStatus” is created with following structure and data:

StatusID	StatusName	Description
01	OnTime	This status is set if flight departs or arrives as per schedule
02	Late	This status is set when the flight departs/arrives behind the specified schedule
03	NotDecided	This status is set when the flight is schedule first time. After the flight departs/arrives, the status is modified

For flight types, a master table with the name “Flight Type” is also created with following structure and data:

FTypeID	FTypeName	Description
01	Direct	A flight is direct when it moves directly from source to destination location
02	Connected	A flight is connected with moves indirectly from source to destination involving multiple legs.

For your convenience the modified ERD (with more abstraction level) is given below:

The requirement of airline is to find out total number of connected or direct flights that departed late or in time with in a certain time period.

A sample result will be:

“Total number of direct flights that departed late with in month of November”
“Total number of connected flights that departed in time with in month of October”
“Total number of direct flights that departed in time with in month of October”

For this purpose, organization defines a new business process named “Flight_Status_Aggregate”.

Question: [Marks 20]

There are four steps of dimensional modeling. First step is to identify the business process. Consider the “flight_Status_Aggregate” process described above. Apply the remaining steps of dimensional modeling to find out the fact and dimensional tables.

Note:

You are required to consider the ER Model given in this assignment and ignore the one developed by you in last assignments.

Be specific and provide to the point answer. Avoid irrelevant details and definitions.

Carefully read the scenario and the steps of dimensional modeling before attempting assignment.

Status: Open

Learning Objective:

The students are expected to learn about ATR 14 observed by the professional auditors in Pakistan.

Background:

Consider the following sections of revised Code of Ethics for Chartered Accountants issued by Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan as background before attempting this GDB:

Section 210

210.1   Before accepting a new client relationship, a chartered accountant in practice shall determine whether acceptance would create any threats to compliance with the fundamental principles. Potential threats to integrity or professional behavior may be created from, for example, questionable issues associated with the client (its owners, management or activities).

210.9   A chartered accountant in practice who is asked to replace another chartered accountant in practice, or who is considering tendering for an engagement currently held by another chartered accountant in practice, shall determine whether there are any reasons, professional or otherwise, for not accepting the engagement, such as circumstances that create threats to compliance with the fundamental principles that cannot be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level by the application of safeguards. For example, there may be a threat to professional competence and due care if a chartered accountant in practice accepts the engagement before knowing all the pertinent facts.

Section 240
240.1   When entering into negotiations regarding professional services, a chartered accountant in practice may quote whatever fee is deemed to be appropriate commensurate with the nature and service to be rendered. However, in such cases, chartered accountants in practice should be careful not to quote fee lower than that charged by the chartered accountants in practice previously carrying out the audit unless scope and quantum of work materially differs from the scope and quantum of work carried out by the previous auditor, as it could then be regarded as undercutting.
240.2  Chartered accountants in practice shall comply with ATR-14, Minimum Hourly Charge out Rates and Minimum Fee for Audit Engagements.

The Case:

M/S Atta Ch. Chartered Accountants (ACCA) is currently rated among top five chartered accountancy firms of the country. Mr. Bakshi Khan, the company secretary of Multi Cement Company (MCC) – a company which is a market leader of cement sector, has requested ACCA to act as their auditors for the next financial year in place of their current chartered accountancy firm M/S Haji & Sons Chartered Accounts (HSBA). Overall, ACCA is happy to get the appointment but the HSBA has not yet resigned. Mr. Bakshi has assured that MCC will not reappoint them in future provided ACCA wave off 25 percent of the first year audit fee.

Required:

Whether the above arrangement is acceptable under both legal and ethical guidelines? Explain your answer in the light of ATR-14.
Hint: For solving this GDB, read ATR-14 mentioned in Members’ Handbook from page 11 to page 14 available on the following link:
