CS403 GDB Idea Solution

"We use ER Data Model in conceptual database design instead of using other models but we never use ER data model in our logical database design"


Idea Solution:-

Conceptual database designs is used to define the objects and relations between them. ER diagram is best suited for defining relation and there respective functions. This model is flexible enough to bear a change with out any harm to other data's structure. ER data base model represent association. which is needed to define relations.

Logical database model is some what advanced of this model. In this model you need to define keys, attributes, behaviors and foregn keys to be inherit and possible representation which can be converted into physical data models. here we do not need association and other functionalities thats why we did not use ER diagrams.

WOOLWORTH
The company that invented the five-and-dime variety store evolved into an international specialty retailer to survive economic hard times – but hard times press again. Woolworth chairman and CEO Harold E. Sells knows from his days as vice president for store development and corporate development that creativity is required to design successful store formats. Sells hopes that changes in planning process will pull Woolworth through its latest difficulties.
Frank W. Woolworth built a retail empire on small change. After a false start at Utica, New York, he moved his great Five Cent store to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and was so successful selling toys, whistles, kitchenware and other items costing five cents or less that he raised the price limit to a dime, moved headquarter to New York, bought up rival dime-store chains and expanded into Canada in 1897. Twelve years later, Woolworth opened a chain of stores in England. The company added a 20-cent line of goods in 1932, abolished price limits in 1935, and stayed competitive after World War II by offering credit and by increasing merchandise selection. In the early 1960s, Woolworth began to diversify, opening a chain of Woolco discount stores to compete with stores such as K Mart and moving into specialty retailing by acquiring the family-shoe-store chain Kinney.
During the recession of early 1980s, profits evaporated and Woolworth undertook a major restructuring, shutting down all 372 Woolco stores in the United States, selling off Woolworth interests in England, and shifting corporate strategy away from general merchandising towards specialty stores. Some 1400 Woolworth variety stores are still in business, but more than the corporation’s operating profit come from 7000 specialty stores selling shoes, clothes, athletic equipment, custom jewelry, discount drugs, and home furnishings. 43% of profit comes from international operations. Highly successful specialty stores like Foot Locker reversed the company’s fortunes, and earnings grew at a rate of 15 percent a year for much of the decade. Unfortunately, the 1990s also opened with recession; net income declined slightly to $317 million on sales of $9.8 billion, and in first nine months of 1991 it plummeted 55 percent.
In the 1980s, Woolworth sought flexibility by decentralizing store operations. The company adopted a mission of providing customers value through distinct but complementary retail stores, and it opted to do that by encouraging creativity in the development of such stores. As a former Kinney assistant manager in Fort Smith, Arkansas, Sells knows that store managers have keen insight into customer needs and organizational strengths, so he reaches to the lowest level of the organization to find ideas for specialty stores. Managers encourage creative ideas from employees, and no one is penalized if these ideas fail.
Another change Sells made was to standardize space requirements for all stores so that unsuccessful units can be closed and switched to a new format in a few months, making failure less painful. However, even more creativity is needed to deal with current difficulties: the US market is structures, and Foot Locker’s annual growth has fallen from 23% to ten percent. Among other woes, Woolworth’s 428-store Kid Mart is being battered by a children’s clothing price war with Kids ‘R’ Us and with department stores.
In response to these environmental forces, Sells is expanding aggressively and relying on revenues from general merchandise operations to support specialty stores. Athletic footwear is just catching on in Europe and Sells thinks he can increase Foot Locker’s presence there from 61 to 1000 stores by the year 2000. In the United States, Sells want to put five to ten stores in each of the nation’s 14000 shopping malls. He plans expansion for Foot Locker and may quadruple Champs Sports’ 250-store sporting goods chain.
Questions:
1. How has Sells made planned changes in Woolworth’s strategy, culture and structure to encourage creativity?
2. Should an organization change its structure when it changes its strategy? Discuss in the light of Woolworth.

ENG101 Assignment # 4 solution

Q1. Write a paragraph of about 100 words on any ONE of the given topics.  (10)


Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.

                               (OR)

Failure is success if we learn from it.

Solution:-

Failure is success if we learn from it.

When a person is in low self esteem, making a mistake only amplifies an existing sense of blame and disapproval. To them, a mistake is only proof that they are "less than". They may even be in denial of what really happened and may feel they have something to hide, even from themselves. These people can be very self defensive or destructive to themselves or even destructive and harmful to others. To compound that loss, they also don’t avail themselves of a fantastic and timely leaning opportunity; they get no useful and positive feedback and not much chance of making a change for the better. In fact, they are probably condemned to repeat the same past mistakes, right?

Why? It’s human nature for someone still struggling with emotional mastery and self esteem issues to ruminate on or even gloss over a failure. Besides getting stuck in feeling badly, they are missing so much good feedback because they don’t assess what went wrong with the intentions of learning so that they can do better next time!

Learning from your failures can and should be as informational and productive as learning from your successes. But only with this caveat: You need to examine your failures from the very same success mindset of thinking and behavior that gave you your successes!

Having a strong and solid inner sense of self worth means that a failure or a mistake doesn’t define who you are. When you believe that you are still a good person, it’s simply feedback that you need to try something else to get the outcome that you want. You will stop equating your self worth and self esteem with making mistakes or not making mistakes. A person that believes that they have 100% self worth as a birth right will see a mistake or a failure as an opportunity to learn how to do it better the next time. They can get right back up, dust their knees off, and get going again. They won’t beat themselves up because, after all, humans will make mistakes. Instead, they ask themselves what can I change to do it better the next time I encounter the same situation.

to make a list of what didn’t work for them each day and to reflect on specifically what changes they can make to do it better the next time. There is no self condemnation allowed, only continual and incremental improvement. Being a totally worth while human being is what defines you, not your failures. Now, Failure is only feedback to help you do better next time. And now here is a great quote from a guy that epitomizes success: Failure is success if we learn from it. Malcolm S. Forbes. If Malcolm Forbes saw his failures this way, and we know how successful and self confident he was, we all can learn from his self perception.
 

Q2. Identify the grammatical error in the following sentence. Keep in mind that

1. Lack of sleep and poor nutrition often contributes to poor grades among students.

 a) Parallelism error.
 b) Subject-verb agreement error.

2. It is believed that irradiated meat can cause DNA damage, abnormalities, and destroy essential vitamins and minerals.

 a) Parallelism error.

3. Many students who have to take out loans, have a heavy debt load on graduation.

 a) Punctuation error.
 b) Run-on sentence.
 c) Pronoun case error.
 d) Pronoun-antecedent agreement error.

4. Comparing the two essays on space exploration, Zaid’s argument is more convincing
     than Ali's.

 a) Faulty comparison
 b) Comma splice
 c) Dangling modifier.
 d) Run-on sentence.

5. According to a report, U.S. tariffs on the Canadian softwood industry took a heavy toll;
    thousands of jobs in the forest industry were lost.

 a) Misplaced modifier.
