Analysis and evaluation
As Thompson and Strickland note “This is usually the hardest part of the report. Analysis is hard work!” (p. 370).
Thompson and Strickland propose five steps in conducting the analysis and evaluation, summarized below. However, not all steps are equal and not all steps are even necessarily relevant, depending on the nature of the organization being studied. You should utilize those steps appropriate to the organization you are studying.
• Is the organization’s strategy producing satisfactory results? Why or why not?
• Is it apparent that the organization doesn’t have a strategy? Why?
• What competitive forces does the organization face? How is it responding to these forces? If it isn’t responding, why?
• Is the organization being simply responsive or is it being proactive? Is it merely attempting to meet challenges or is it anticipating challenges and planning accordingly?
• Your interpretation of facts, statements, etc., should be reasonable and objective; don’t rely on generalizations and platitudes. Avoid presenting a one-sided argument that excludes factors not favorable to your conclusions.
In addition to these five points, the analysis should also include the identification of any issues the study’s authors overlooked, failed to give adequate attention, etc

Using the Library or other Web resources, identify and describe a case in which an employer’s activities were restricted due to age related rights of employees. Be sure to explain how the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s criteria for age discrimination apply to the case
Most of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $7 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The customer who is interested in the special bracelet order would like special filigree applied to the bracelets. This filigree would require additional material costing $6 per bracelet and would also require acquisition of a special tool costing $465 that would have no other use once the special order is completed. This order would have no effect on the company’s regular sales and the order could be fulfilled using the company’s existing capacity without affecting any other order.
Required:
What effect would accepting this order have on the company’s net operating income if a special price of $349.95 is offered per bracelet for this order? Should the special order be accepted at this price?
