It is not essay question please help me answering it thank you ZeeHome took a new project, building a school, in a new geographical area. The company (ZeeHome) was designated as a consultant on the project with the main task of supervising the work of the contractor. To operate as a consultant, the senior engineers of ZeeHome needed to perform site inspection on a regular basis.

Consequently, ZeeHome could not dispatch a team of senior engineers to proceed with the inspection visits on a regular basis. Moreover, the few inspection visits that have taken were made by fresh graduated engineers who were still under training. The school building was completed on…

Pat James, the purchasing agent for a local plant of the Oakden Electronics Division, was considering the possible purchase of a component from a new supplier. The component’s purchase price, $0.90, compared favorably with the standard price of $1.10. Given the quantity that would be purchased, Pat knew that the favorable price variance would help to offset an unfavorable variance for another component. By offsetting the unfavorable variance, his overall performance report would be impressive and good enough to help him qualify for the annual bonus. More importantly, a good performance rating this year would help him to secure a position at division headquarters at a significant salary increase. Purchase of the part, however, presented Pat with a dilemma. Consistent with his past behavior, Pat made inquiries regarding the reliability of the new supplier and the part’s quality. Reports were basically negative. The supplier had a reputation for making the first two or three deliveries on…

The Nespresso Product The Nespresso product was a system that allowed the consumer to produce a cup of espresso coffee at home. Though simple in appearance and use it took Nestlé more than ten years to develop it. The system consisted of two parts: a coffee capsule and a machine. The coffee capsule was hermetically sealed in aluminum and contained 5g of roast and ground coffee. The machine consists of four parts –a handle, a water container, a pump, and an electric heating system. These four parts were cast into the body and formed the machine. The new product was introduced in 1986. The original strategy adopted by Nestle was to set up a joint venture with a Swiss-based distributor called Sobal to sell the new product. This joint venture (named Sobal-Nespresso) was supposed to purchase the machines from another Swiss company (called Turmix), the coffee capsules from Nestlé, and then distribute and sell everything as a system one product, one price. Offices and restaurants were…
