Q 1)
1) Oracle Mission/Vision: Simplify: Speed Information system with integrated
system and a single database.
Standardize: Reduce cost and maintenance cycles with open, easily available
components.
Automate: Improve operational efficiency through technology and best practices.
In my opinion:
By acquiring Sun Microsystems they control JAVA. (One of the worlds
most popular programming language)
By simplifying and standardizing JAVA they are acting according to their
mission.

2) NASA Mission: Advancing Technology and Science through flight
Vision: To fly what others only imagine.
In my opinion
NASAs vision is outdated.
Currently many other space organizations are well ahead in terms of
executing various missions
Private company like SpaceX led by Elon Musk is challenging the
powerhouse NASA.


3) JCPENNY: Mission/Vision Statement: Do unto others as you would have
others do unto you.
Winning together principles for superior service
In my opinion:
The JC Penny once a powerhouse in departmental store chain has fallen.
It is because of the mismanagement and not maintaining superior service
standards.


4) Workday: Not your average Work day at Workday




5) Exxon: Vision Statement: Exxon Mobil Corporation is committed to being the
world's premier petroleum and petrochemical company. To that end, we must
continuously achieve superior financial and operating results while
simultaneously adhering to high ethical standards.. (A money vision with profit
centered principles)
Mission Statement: Energy is fundamental to worlds economies. Improving living
standards around the globe requires affordable reliable energy. Providing this
energy is an enormous challenge- one that must be met practically, safely and in
environmentally and socially responsible manner.
In my opinion
Assignment 3
Saurabh Deugaonkar
The EXXON Mobil portrays and lives up to the vision statement.
They have a money vision with profit centered principles
The company has acquired many accolades in terms of financial and
revenue segments.
It is a current Fortune 500 Company.
Regarding the mission in which they say environmentally responsible,
the company has failed to show the environmental responsibility as they
face severe criticisms for various oil spills in Alaska, Baton Rouge and the
Yellowstone River.




6) JP Morgan Chase and Co: Vision: Aspire to be the best, execute superbly,
build a great team and winning culture.
Mission: To be the best financial company in the world.
In my opinion
The statement saying to be the best Financial Company in the world has
suffered setbacks in terms of controversies.
It is currently the largest bank in USA so the value execute superbly is
being implemented correctly.
Hence its mission to be the best Financial company in the world might
come true!



7) Orbitz Worldwide: Mission/ Vision Build Orbitz worldwide to be one of the
worlds three primary hotel distribution platforms.
In my opinion:
The company being a travel accommodation company, it faces severe
competition.
The company has always been in the radar from many airlines for selling
of discount tickets.
As far as I know, few people use the Orbitz to plan their accommodation.
Moreover it is still not being used in many countries.







8) Dish TV:Mission/Vission the goal of DISH Network is to be the best at
delivering video, anytime, anywhere.
In my opinion:
The Dish network is pretty good in broadcasting channels.

But they offer a very selected variety of video.
They are expanding and growing so the mission of delivering the video
anywhere is a possible.




9) T Mobile Mission/Vision: To be Americas most highly regarded service
company.
In my opinion
The T mobile statement might come true as many users are leaving their
current carriers and switching to T Mobile.
The offers and the discounts they provide are quite good.
There is no connectivity problem. ( some carriers face it)






10) Applied Micro Circuits: Mission/Vission: With a strong heritage in
innovation, and a clear commitment to energy efficiency, AppliedMicro is bringing
breakthrough technology advances to telecommunications, data centers,
enterprise and consumers. Our management team and employees are
aggressively focused in executing the vision to realize a business breakout of a
magnitude seldom seen in the semiconductor industry.
In my opinion:
The company is fast growing as it has acquired many companies in 12
years.
They are active in innovation and are always looking in a new technology
for semiconductors.
Still the company has to face severe completion from other companies like
Broadcom, Intel etc.




Q 2)
FEMA
Organization:
FEMA is currently an agency under the department of Homeland Security
of US.
Initially it was an independent agency but in 2003 it came under
Department of Homeland Security.
This was a major cause that the FEMA is not a good agency in case of
disaster management.
Assignment 3
Saurabh Deugaonkar
This merger was a setback for the FEMA motto A nation Prepared.

Responsibility:
As a disaster management agency, the responsibility ranges from pre
disaster management, facilities for the suffered victims, financial aid, and
promptness to act, efficiency in the work and alerts and warning for
securing the area to be affected.
The criticism the FEMA has faced has showed the lack of responsibility in
major disasters like hurricanes and floods.

Execution:
The execution of the FEMA has always been under scanner because of
the decision-making flaws in the system.
The cases of poor execution to the plan are witnessed in major events and
for almost every disaster the US has faced.
The certain execution flaws are due to the hierarchy and political
influence.
A case that was seen during the South Florida Hurricanes was that the
FEMA declared the wrong county as disaster affected and distributed
money.

Scope of improvement:
1. The best way to improve a disaster management agency is to make it an
autonomous organization.
2. Then it should be segmented into various small departments with
specialized knowledge about the specific task.
3. Deployment of right person at the right place.
4. Improving the technological infrastructure.
5. Knowledge from the local authorities always plays an important hand in
knowing the topography of the region.
6. The system should be centralized for overall administration, as the
different zones currently do not have any connection between them.
7. Most importantly there should not be any political influence in this agency.
8. The financial management must be precise in order to create funds and
use them in disaster-affected areas.
