Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2,0, University of Applied Sciences Essen, course: Strategic Corporate Management, language: English, abstract: This assignment is answering the task to "compare the organisational structure of two direct competitors in an industry of your choice. To what extent and how does the chosen organisational structure reflect the specific corporate strategy of these companies? Discuss the respective structures critically". The assignment is comparing McDonald's and Subway, the two main competitors in the fast food industry. The chosen companies are the two market leaders in the fast food industry. Since Hill and Jones point out that a corporate strategy formulation comes first followed by designing the organisational structure, the following sections will describe the corporate strategies of both companies first. Later on, it will be evaluated critically what kind of organisational structure each of the competitors are built on and which one has the better fit with regard to their strategy. In the end, concluding remarks and an outlook will be provided. The organisational structure of any company can be understood as a vehicle that depicts the activities and connections of various divisions, business units and functions of that company. It helps managers to comprehend and to control the flow of activities. The organisational structure is highly important to be established appropriately because it presets the paths on which a company can create value and ultimately determines the efficiency of the value chain. There are various problems that can come up especially in large companies like a lack of coordination, information distortion and motivational problems. The weaknesses of a organisational structure are to be kept in mind when setting up a corporate strategy or else the structure needs to undergo changes in order to follow the strategy. The fit between a chosen corporate strategy and the structure of an organisation has an important influence on how smooth the different organs of a companys can work together to fulfil the corporates objectives.

The selection of waste heat rejection systems for steam-electric power plants involves a trade-off among environmental, energy and water conservation, and economic factors. This study compares four general types of cooling systems on the basis of these factors. The cooling systems chosen for study are: once-through systems including surface canals and submerged multiport diffusers; shallow closed cycle cooling ponds; mechanical and natural draft evaporative cooling towers; and mechanical draft dry towers. The cooling system comparison involves, first, an optimization of each cooling system and then a comparison among optimal systems. Comparison is made for an 800 MWe fossil unit and a 1200 MWe nuclear unit located at a hypothetical midwestern river site. A set of models has been developed to optimize the components of each cooling system based on the local meteorological and hydrological conditions at the site in accordance with a fixed demand, scalable plant concept. This concept allows one to compare the costs of producing the same net power from each plant/cooling system. Base case economic parameters were used to evaluate the optimum system for each of the four general cooling systems followed by a sensitivity study for each parameter. Comparison of energy and water consumption follows from the results of the performance model, while comparison of environmental impacts is mostly qualitative. Some quantitative modelling was performed for the environmental effects of thermal discharges from once-through systems, fogging from wet cooling towers and water consumption from the ponds, wet towers and once-through. The results of the optimization models of each of the systems are compared on the basis of: performance - discrete distributions of environmental conditions and transient simulation; economics - using base case scenarios and sensitivity values to arrive at costs expressed in terms of production costs, annualized costs and present value costs; energy and water consumption; and environmental effects. The once-through systems were found to be the least expensive of the four systems, the most energy efficient, but potentially the most environmentally damaging. On the other extreme, dry cooling towers are the most environmentally sound while being the most expensive and least energy efficient. Finally, the results of the economic optimization are compared with results from previous comparative studies.

Almost All Tax Systems Incorporate Provisions Which Exclude Certain Items And Deduct Others From The Tax Base. These Provisions May Take The Form Of Exemptions, Deductions, Allowances, And Tax Credits. Tax Incentive (Or Tax Preferences) Reduce The Amount Of Tax Which Would Otherwise Be Payable By A Taxable Entity. Broadly Speaking, Items Which Erode The Normally Accepted Base Of A Tax May Be Treated As Tax Incentives. In India, The Basic Purpose Of Tax Incentives Is To Motivate The Taxpayers To Save And Invest More, Particularly In Rural And Backward Areas Of The Country. This Book Describes And Critically Evaluates The Policy Of Liberal Income Tax Exemptions And Concessions To Accelerate The Pace Of Economic Growth In India. It Examines Various Theoretical Issues Related To The Operation Of Tax Incentives. It Provides An Overview Of The Present System Of Income Tax Incentioves In India. Drawing On The Experience Of Others Countries, An Attempt Has Been Made To Evaluate The System Of Tax Incentives In India. The Countries Considered For Comparative Study Are: Uk, Usa, France, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia And Bangladesh.
