You are an assistant manager at a small consulting firm. You ask one of the employees that works for you to drop off a package at the post office after work on Tuesday. The post office is right on his way home, but it is very out of the way for you. The package is especially important, and it must arrive at its destination by the following day: Wednesday, at noon. The package has a document that will be discussed at an important meeting with business partners that will only be in town for one day. Although you will not be at the meeting, your manager and the CEO will be in attendance and both of them have entrusted you with making sure that the package arrives.

You find out on Wednesday afternoon that the package never arrived. You are responsible for the mistake.

Which critical success factor improves with reduced cycle time, better quality standards, and improved efficiency when an is is implemented?

At a student café, there are equal numbers of two types of customers with the following values. the café owner cannot distinguish between the two types of students because many students without early classes arrive early anyway (i. e., she cannot price-discriminate). students with early classes students without early classes coffee 70 60 banana 51 101 the marginal cost of coffee is 10 and the marginal cost of a banana is 40. the café owner is considering three pricing strategies: 1. mixed bundling: price bundle of coffee and a banana for 161, or just a coffee for 70. 2. price separately: offer coffee at 60, price a banana at 101. 3. bundle only: coffee and a banana for 121. do not offer goods separately. assume that if the price of an item or bundle is no more than exactly equal to a student's willingness to pay, then the student will purchase the item or bundle. for simplicity, assume there is just one student with an early class, and one student without an early class. price strategy revenue from pricing strategy cost from pricing strategy profit from pricing strategy 1. mixed bundling $ $ $ 2. price separately $ $ $ 3. bundle only $ $ $ pricing strategy yields the highest profit for the café owner.
