These simulations are minicases that require multiple tasks including communications and research. The simulations component has replaced the old problems…

SALES FOR STARTUPS

To emerge from the early stages of building a new business, start-ups need to stay focused on two things: building and selling. The first is by far the most important. You can’t sell what you don’t ship, and if it’s not built specifically with the customer’s needs in mind, it’ll be next to impossible to sell even with a great sales system. But as start-ups begin putting a signifi…

Hidden Financial Risk

When I graduated with a doctorate in 1977, I researched and published articles on main- stream topics, particularly current value accounting and the interaction between earnings and cash flows. After a while, it occurred to me that these are not the crucial issues of financial accounting and reporting. Ethics and honesty and fairness to financial statement users comprise the foundational issues…

Transforming Health Care Scheduling and Access

“How can we help you today?” Each of us would like to hear these words when seeking health care assistance for ourselves, for our families, or for others. It should not only be our wish, but our expectation. Health care that implements a “How can we help you today?” philosophy is care that is patient centered, takes full advantage of what has been learned about systems strategies for ma…

It began as a practical activity in response to perceived needs, and for most of its development it has progressed in the same way, adapting to meet changes in the demands made on it. Where the needs differed in different countries or environments, accounting tended to develo…

In January of 1997 Canada's Department of National Defence carried out an epidemiological survey…
