Daimler Benz

Below is the Daimler Benz (MB)’s 2019 Annual Report prepared under IFRS:

Daimler 2019 Annual Report (Links to an external site.)

Pick any two of the financial statements: the consolidated balance sheet (statement of financial position), the consolidated income statement (statement of income or statement of comprehensive income), or the statement of cash flows for MB.

Recast the two selected financial statements and present the statements following/in accordance with the US GAAP, presentation-wise, as accurately as you can (you do not need to restate any of the results for MB in this process — just work with the results as presented).

• The recasted financial statements should be an Exhibit or Appendix to your paper.

Describe in an appropriate level of detail the differences that resulted when you recasted your chosen financial statements from the IFRS to US GAAP

Question: Think of a specific leader in your work situation, in a friendship group, on a sports
team, or in the news.  What types of power does he or she appear to use?  How
does he or she use these different types of power?  Would you consider this
person to be an effective leader?  Why or why not?

Question: Do you think people are born leaders? Are there specific traits that can be seen
early in a person’s life or career that identify that person as leader? Can
someone without these specific traits go on to become a leader? 

Create a testing plan

Once the testing plan is ready, your team can:

• Test the user interfaces

Test the database

Test the network

• Write the documentation first draft
• When the user interface tests are complete, you can:
• Perform user testing—enlist some users to test the user interface
• When the database and network testing are complete, you can:

Perform integration testing—network with the database

When the user testing of the user interface and the database testing are complete, you can:

• Perform integration testing—database, network, and user interface

When all integration testing and user testing are complete, you can:

Perform system testing

• Then you can:

Review and revise documentation

After all other tasks are complete, you can:

• Obtain management approval

Duration estimates for the tasks:

a.

• 3 days

b.

10 days

• c.

6 days

d.

• 7 days

e.

20 days

f.

5 days

g.

h.

i.

8 days

j.

Create a network diagram and a Gantt chart for the project tasks. Ask your instructor if you are permitted to use software such as Microsoft Project to help you prepare your diagrams.

What is the planned duration for the testing project?

What is the critical path for the testing project?

For each task NOT on the critical path, calculate the amount of slack available.

If the user testing of the user interface takes 15 days, what will the impact be on the project duration?

Question: Is the use of positive reinforcement always the best approach to motivational
problems?  When might other types of “consequences” be more appropriate?

Question: Which motivational forces are stronger: Push or Pull?  Or are they Equal? How might their relative strength change with different circumstances? Why?
