"In the life of each and every one of us, there is a defining moment, one after which we know that our lives will never be the same. For me, 9/11 was that moment."

Together they would end up walking a pilgrimage for peace in Jerusalem -- and in the process would uncover precious insights about themselves, each other and the goodness of humanity.

== Guerilla Gardener Plants Joy in Potholes ==

Theyre the bane of cyclists and motorists alike, but one urban gardener has grown a fondness for potholes after deciding to spruce up cities around Europe by filling them up with miniature flower arrangements. Australian Steve Wheen, 34, who lives in London, has been using flowers and small-scale objects to transform urban potholes for the last three years. The self-styled guerrilla gardener has created mini gardens all around his home city but has now decided to bring joy to commuters across Europe with his unusual pothole creations.

Brandon Cook, from Wilton, New Hampshire, was visiting his grandmother in the hospital. Terribly ill with cancer, she complained to her grandson that she desperately wanted a bowl of soup, and that the hospitals soup was inedible (she used saltier language). If only she could get a bowl of her favorite clam chowder from Panera Bread! Trouble was, Panera only sells clam chowder on Friday. So Brandon called the nearby Panera and talked to store manager Suzanne Fortier.

DavidWashington: minor updates

== IGC-DEFINITION ==
'''Work plan / [[:de:Arbeitsplan|Arbeitsplan]]''' 
The work plan is the standard for the production process of a product or a service (e.g. in public administration). In the work plan, the various operations or activities are listed in the precise sequence in which they are carried out (routing information). At the same time, each operation is allocated to a cost center and provided with a standard time for its production or execution. So the work plan serves as the basis for the calculation of the manufacturing costs. The work plan items valued with the proportional cost rate lead to the proportional manufacturing costs.

== IGC-DEFINITION (abbreviated) ==
'''Variance analysis/comparison of budgeted and actual figures CBA / [[:de:Soll-Ist-Vergleich|Soll-Ist-Vergleich SIV]]''' 
Variance analysis in a broader sense is the comparison between actual values and output on the one hand with “what should have been” on the other. In this form, the term relates to the enterprise as a whole. Variance analysis in the narrower sense (CBA) is the comparison between actual costs incurred and the standard costs within a cost center. The [[Flexible budget|standard costs]] show the costs that would have resulted if the actual activity level was produced as planned. The difference between actual and standard costs is the budget spending variance. In the CBA the causes laying behind these variances are analysed, so that ways and means of avoiding such [[variances]] in future can be identified and any corrective measures agreed upon.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life. ~ John Lennon

Transfer prices

2012-08-25T09:02:06Z

DavidWashington: minor updates

== IGC-DEFINITION ==
'''Transfer prices / [[:de:Verrechnungspreise|Verrechnungspreise]]''' 
The term transfer price should be used very sparingly, in order not to be misunderstood. Transfer pricing determines the prices when exchanging goods and services between interrelated companies or divisions within a single company or group. If services are exchanged between cost centers, then the term [[Internal services|internal cost allocation]] is used.
Within corporations the problem arises that the supplying company allocates structure costs and profit elements to its delivery price (also called transfer price). For the receiving company these transfer prices are like external material costs, i.e. as if this material would have been bought from outside suppliers. The receiver therefore has no transparency over allocated cost elements. This can lead to the situation that the individual company maximizes its own profit without taking the overall interests of the corporation into consideration. Therefore, corporate controllers should design corporate management accounting systems in a way that the total contribution margin throughout the corporation is transparent. They have to ensure that for decision-taking the proportional costs and the contribution volume, over all levels of production, are known to the person fixing the contract with the outside customer.

The Death Spiral - if the company (incorrectly) tries to unitize the sales and marketing costs across the products produced and then folds that into the pricing of its products, it can wind up in a self-reinforcing situation where it is raising its prices despite falling demand and without regard to the competitive environment.

Target costing

DavidWashington: minor updates

== IGC-DEFINITION ==
'''Target costing / [[:de:Target Costing|Target Costing]]''' 
Target costing is the concept of market-oriented target cost management, which applies in the early phases of product development. With target costing products are to be developed to fulfil functional features defined by the customer, thus involving costs to be agreed / accepted by the customer. The obvious question is: How much may a product cost? From the very beginning costing goes hand in hand with product planning and settles on the price determined by market research.

Strategy

2012-08-20T22:43:00Z

DavidWashington: minor updates

== IGC-DEFINITION (abbreviated) ==
'''Strategy / [[:de:Strategie|Strategie]]''' 
In the market economy, the term strategy is used to refer to thinking in terms of competitive advantages.

Strategic planning aims to discover what [[potentials for success]] the company, or rather the strategic business unit has to offer, and what new potentials for success the firm should develop. It seeks to discover whether it is doing the right thing for the right customers.
Operative management should then exploit the available potentials for success, that is to say convert them into contribution margins and profits, and develop the new potentials.

A strategic business unit is a definition, for organisational convenience, of mostly homogeneous possible fields of activity, which are typified by common strategic characteristics and for each of which an independent product-market-strategy can be worked out and put into practice.

Functional area strategies serve to put the corporate strategy into practice at the level of individual areas of business such as marketing, R&D, personnel, finance, etc. They ensure that all the functional areas with an influence on strategy make their contribution to the implementation of the overall strategy, that potentials for rationalisation are realised and additional capacity potentials are developed.

Standard costing

2012-08-20T22:42:48Z

DavidWashington: minor updates

== IGC-DEFINITION ==
'''Standard costing / [[:de:Standardkostenrechnung|Standardkostenrechnung]]''' 
Standard costing is a cost accounting method where all input and output units are always calculated at standardised rates. Supplies from stock are valued at the standard purchase price and outputs from cost centers at the planned cost rate. This has the great advantage that in the [[Variance analysis / comparison of budgeted and actual figures CBA|comparison between budgeted and actual figures]] variances, which have occurred in upstream systems do not appear in downstream systems. In this way the requirement of responsibility accounting is met, whereby only those costs are shown that can be influenced. 
The standard product costs derive from preliminary costing. On a unit basis, they are calculated by multiplying the materials required (standard quantity) with the corresponding standard material prices as well as the working hours (standard hours) with the appropriate proportional cost rates. They therefore express what the single product will incur in the way of output-related costs. In the preliminary calculation the standard product costs are calculated in terms of a specific order, i.e. according to exact specifications from the customer but with standard prices and budgeted cost rates. So any difference that may arise is to be attributed only to subsequent changes in the order.

Share of Voice / Noise

2012-08-20T22:42:41Z

DavidWashington: minor updates

A share of voice is a marketing index which describes the share of contacts that can be achieved in a defined niche, on the market or among an audience. It is calculated from the quotient of net range (number of target-person contacts by own advertisement) and gross range (number of target-person contacts by advertisement in the industry). A share of noise (SON): it indicates which parts of the whole advertising budget in Germany – depending on its own market size, measured by brand recall, – should be spent in order to increase one’s own market presence.

Risk management

2012-08-20T22:42:16Z

DavidWashington: minor updates

== IGC-DEFINITION (abbreviated) ==
'''Risk management / [[:de:Risikomanagement|Risikomanagement]]''' 
Risk in the entrepreneurial sense is a combination of the probability of a certain damage and the size of its financial consequences.

Risk management is concerned with the identification and valuation of risks, also defining the acceptable level of risk and their limitation with the help of hedging methods. Starting point is a risk policy, which is determined by top management and then realized on all management levels.
To do so, it is necessary to know all the risks a company can encounter, to valuate them and to monitor their development. This task is often delegated to the [[controller]].

A risk analysis should on the one hand describe the actual situation and on the other hand generate risk awareness.

Return on Capital Employed ROCE

DavidWashington: minor updates

== IGC-DEFINITION ==
'''Return on Capital Employed ROCE / [[:de:Return on Capital Employed ROCE|Return on Capital Employed ROCE]]''' 
Return on Capital Employed is the profitability of those assets for which on the capital side interest is paid. Starting point is, like with [[Return on Investment ROI|ROI]], the operating assets. From this value the interest-free liabilities are deducted (mainly accounts payable). This is the capital employed.
ROCE is an especially useful profit ratio for managers of independent units with their own balance sheets, who are not responsible for taking financing decisions. To realize a high ROCE, he will try to finance a big part of the assets he needs to run his business with „free capital“ keeping his internal profitability (EBIT) high.
EBIT is the right profit figure in this case because the manager cannot take decisions on long-range and equity financing.

Reputation

DavidWashington: minor updates

Company reputation describes the (collective) perception of a company by its stakeholders. It is the result of an exchange of personal communicated/collected experience between the company and its stakeholders (and third parties over the course of time)

Company reputation depends on how reliable and respectful it is in relation to certain topics (e.g. financial performance, the quality of management, environment engagement) including the fulfillment of brand promises.

Reputation is a “property” belonging to stakeholders, so an outside-in perspective.

'''Ratio systems / [[:de:Kennzahlensysteme|Kennzahlensysteme]]''' 
Ratio systems are (mathematically or logically connected) combinations of ratios (absolute or relative figures with special significance). Ratios are derived from planned values or actual data and serve as a measurement to show the cause and effect of changes in operations. Under the entry ”objective” we have a ratio system structure, which can be used to compare budgeted and actual figures.

The [[Return on Investment ROI|ROI]]-tree (see diagram) shows the return on investment (more precisely: return on operating assets) and the factors that influence it in an inter-linked pattern of accounting.

The range indicates how many potential communication contacts can be achieved by means of a communication measure through a certain medium.
In the magazines division, for example, the range can be calculated by multiplying the edition with an average number of readers per newspaper. Ranges are typically calculated by marketing research providers in a joint order from media companies and advertising industry (e.g. the German Association for the Verification of Distribution of Advertising Media, IWV; the Television Research Partnership, AGF; the German Media Analysis Association, ag.ma) and used as a basis for negotiating prices of advertisements.

Proportional costs

2012-08-20T22:40:28Z

DavidWashington: minor updates

== IGC-DEFINITION ==
'''Proportional costs / [[:de:Proportionale Kosten|Proportionale Kosten]]''' 
Proportional costs are [[Costs / Cost accounting|costs]] that arise because a product is manufactured or a service delivered. They are determined by the structure of the cost center service or of the product ([[bill of materials|bills of material]], [[work plan]]s, recipes). In the cost plan it is determined, which part of the costs will behave proportionally. If the actual output is lower than planned output, this means that proportional costs are converted into [[structure costs]], because they cannot ‘slip into’ the products. In the case that the output is higher than planned, the reverse happens and the structure costs are converted into proportional costs, which means, that an increased use of available capacity is made to achieve productive output.
Proportional costs are a synonym for variable costs. However, controllers would be well advised not to use the term variable costs since the [[cost cube|pairs of terms]] ‘controllable costs / imputed costs’ and [[product costs]] / structure costs are very often misleading or based on a wrong understanding, which leads to wrong decisions and communication barriers.

Product costs are the costs that ‘slip into’ the product, determining its physical existence. The technical background for this is the [[bill of materials]], recipe and [[work plan]]. Product costs are formulated traditionally per calculation unit – per hour, per piece, per kilogram, per order. It follows then, that they are the additional costs for ‘one more unit’.

Process output measure - measure of whether a process or activity is achieving its goals. At every level, process have outputs, and those outputs should be measured to assure that the process is functioning as it should. In an ideal organization, company goals and measures are associated with value chains and then subdivided so that, at every level, managers are measuring process outcomes that are related to the ultimate goals and measures of the organization. If vertical alignment is ignored, it’s possible that activities or processes will be measured in way that don’t contribute to the overall success of the larger process or the success of the company.

== IGC-DEFINITION (abbreviated) ==
'''Potentials for success / [[:de:Erfolgspotentiale|Erfolgspotentiale]]''' 
Critical success factors are those variables, whose characteristics contribute largely to market success, and which are essential if a company aims to be a successful competitor within its industry. They are derived from industry and competition analysis as well as from market surveys, customer opinion polls and data banks, etc.
Potentials for success are a business’s strengths and at the same time its critical success factors. This is best described as the sum of all specific product and market preconditions necessary for success (especially capacities and [[core competence]]s). These have to be available before success can be realised. The development and maintenance of market positions – and hence the creation of new products and / or markets – are of the first importance here.

Planning and planning framework

== IGC-DEFINITION (abbreviated) ==
'''Planning and planning framework | [[:de:Planung und Planungssystematik|Planung und Planungssystematik]]''' 
Planning is the intellectual anticipation of possible future situations, the selection of desirable situations to be achieved (objectives) and the determination of relevant actions that need to be taken to reach those objectives. So the business has constantly to adjust to internal and external changes, requiring decisions to be taken with an eye to future effects.
As a [[controller]], one has to rely on an inter-linked and in itself consistent planning framework. And here the following planning levels have proved their worth in practice:

[[Image:Planning.png|x300px|]]

Operative planning consists of mid-term planning, acting as a hinge, which links long-term strategy and annual planning. Operative planning arises from strategic planning and should demonstrate in budgeted values how the objectives have been apportioned and how they are to be achieved. Annual planning also serves as a basis for the comparison of budgeted and actual figures.

Period costing and cost of sales method in external accounting

2012-08-13T17:30:55Z

DavidWashington: minor updates

== IGC-DEFINITION ==
'''Period costing and cost of sales method in external accounting / [[:de:Gesamtkostenverfahren GKV und Umsatzkostenverfahren UKV in der externen Rechnungslegung|Gesamtkostenverfahren GKV und Umsatzkostenverfahren UKV in der externen Rechnungslegung]]''' 
The income statement is presented either by the period costing method or by the cost of sales method. Both methods produce the same result. In the period costing method the sales of a period are compared to the total expenditures (consumption) of the same period. Since the sales are market-oriented and the total expenditures stand for the value produced, there is a difference if the production value of the units sold does not match that of the units produced. This difference shows up in the inventory changes of finished goods, half-finished goods and work in progress.

'''Period costing method under IFRS:'''

[[Image:Period costing.png|x250px|]]

The first three positions of the period costing method combined are called total output. This is of interest in the balance sheet analysis.
In the cost of sales method the sales of a period are directly confronted with the [[Costs of goods sold|production costs]] of those sales. The accruals thus take place directly in the stocks. Hence the total output of a period is not recognizable anymore in the income statement. Otherwise, the accrual positions for inventory changes are cancelled. The production costs under [[International Accounting Standards IAS / IFRS|IFRS]] include the [[proportional costs]] as well as the [[Structure costs|structural costs]] accruing for production, purchasing and material handling, including the appropriate depreciations, maintenance costs and the cost of management and administration of the functions mentioned above.
Period costing presentation of the income statement is more common in the German-speaking area, the cost of sales method is popular among listed companies and rather in the Anglophone world.

'''Cost of sales method under IFRS:'''

[[Image:Cost of sales.png|x250px|]]

In contrast to this accounting-driven representation, in management accounting also standard values (variance analysis) and imputed evaluations are applied in order to support decision-taking.
