Assessment Task 2

Project

Implementation of project

For implementing the project, the organization has to follow the set process and the required legal formalities. There will be a clear identification of the task which needs to be implemented. The scope of the process of problem-solving will be determined Identification of complex issues according to the prevailing job role and then consulting it with the relevant stakeholders. Documentation of task objectives and the risk involved in it Then, research the required legal framework and work according to mitigate any future contingencies. Calculation of required sources will be done and presenting them in front of the stakeholders. Leading solution development process regarding the issue identified. An ideation session will be conducted with the said stakeholders. By using critical thinking and brainstorming approaches, an evaluation of formulated solution will be done for checking the advantages and limitations of the proposed solution. After that, there comes a process of decision-making in which the ideal solution for the issue will be selected (Theobald et al., 2018). The same will be proposed in the brief for presenting it to the relevant stakeholders Developing the feedback by registering them into the feedback register and maintaining it systematically for further use of the organization Refining of the proposal which was based on the registered feedback. At last, seeking approval from the required authorities for implementing the solution In this way, the implementation of the project will be done. The whole process will be done systematically by consulting the relevant stakeholders. Communicating with the employees of the organization time and providing the necessary details. Proper management will be made for the given project and for resolving the issues. It is important to separate the facts from the opinions. Determination of process should be done wherever the existence of issue is found analyzing the procedures and policies of the organization. Discussing it with the team members and whoever is involved in gathering information. Defining the problem in specific terms Gathering all the required information for solving the problem (Cletus et al., 2018)

 

Training program

For conducting the training program it is important to keep the following things in mind-

Getting employees on board- before getting into the issue, it is important to confront the problem first. It is important to remind the employees that, the most significant thing here to assess will be the ability to solve the problem, and by confronting the issue they will understand it from within which will aid in sharpening their problem-solving skills. Their process of observation will become more prominent and they can work even more effectively.

Training employees to be alert for ancillary skills- it should be taught that focusing on personal growth is the key to enhancing the skills of an individual. The person should be creative, knows how to communicate, and should possess the curiosity to get involved in the task. The employees should reflect a feeling of coordination and collaboration in order to work in a team. The employee should be persistent and attentive in any case.

Providing practical approaches while providing training- by using real-life problems and considering real-life examples would be perfect to train the employees. Defining the problem clearly and going into depth about it. Budging the employees for exploring the given alternative and not just sticking to a set process.

Simplifying the process- the problem should always be divided into five steps for getting a simplified solution. First of all, there should be proper identification by structuring the whole issue, then brainstorming the possible solutions for the problem, making a decision, implementing it, and at last monitoring the outcome.

Part B

Brief on the proposed solution

Purpose
For resolving complex issues in the workplace. A project has been madde for implementing the resolution process for the said concern.
Main body
1. Identify the problem

It is important to get into the problem from within and analyze it carefully for understanding it. A single issue can cause many problems. So, it should be mandatory to first identify the issue and its root cause of it. One should try to think about the people who get affected by the problem by listening and observing them.

2. Identification of alternative solutions.

There is a need of brainstorming all of the possible solutions for resolving the concerned issue. Asking for feedback and opinions from everyone who is affected by the problem will give a very apt solution to the problem. Surveys and research can also be used for generating new ideas.

3. Evaluating solutions.

After listing all the available alternatives, there comes the process of evaluation. It can be done by assessing the positive and negative consequences of each available option which were defined in the previous step. Analyzing and comparing all of them in terms of everything and then proceeding further (Fontana et al., 2015).

Selecting the most solution

After evaluating the solution, it is time to decide the most suitable and apt solution for the said concern. By keeping every factor in mind, the most suitable option will be selected.

5. Implementation of the chosen solution.

After selecting the required option, the next step comes will be the implementation of the solution which can be done by developing an action plan. Defining targets and separating them into measurable goals for monitoring the process of implementation. Defining and setting timelines for it, then communicating the plan to everyone. At last, developing channels of feedback were used during the whole process.

6. Monitoring progress and making adjustments accordingly.

It is very significant to keep an eye on your project and its progress. By continuously measuring it for ensuring that your proposed solution is working. Gathering data and feedback for the same from everyone for determining if the solutions meet your expectations or not (Colbert et al.,2016).

Executive Summary

The impact of Covid-19 on workplaces and workers around the world has been very intense. We reflect on the wide review of previous research engrained in organizations and work psychology, and connected fields, for creating a sense of all consequences for work, teams and employees in the organization. Our preview and review of accurate kinds of literature concerns (i) evolving alterations in practices of work like virtual teams, working from home etc. and (ii) social and economic psychological implications like mental health and unemployment etc. We accurately examine the probable moderating elements of personality, the status of the family, gender, ethnicity and race, race and cultural distinct for generating disparate impacts (Elsafty & Ragheb, 2020).

Introduction

Covid-19 is both a global crisis of health and an international threat to the economy. The universal lockdown of industries and businesses that was executed and instructed to control the spread of the infection generated a broad collection of fundamental and unique constraints for both employers and employees around the world. At the level of the individual, people lockdown-affected the employees were revolved over the night into (a) process of work from home for the employees (b) essential employees for example room of emergency, the workforce of medical and staff of supermarket, or (c) laid-off workers looking for specific to nation corresponding of the benefits of unemployment. Administratively, the economic lockdowns and related activities of government seem probable to (i) alter a few industries fundamentally, (ii) quicken a trend that was previously proceeding in others, and (iii) disclose opportunities for the particular novel organizations for emerging, as usually occurs in durations of natural pandemics and wars. Given the improbability and extent of the shock of the COVID-19 pandemic, psychologies of organization and work are immediately required for applying present knowledge of the field for the objective of sense-making for helping organizations and individuals regulate all risks while applying and developing solutions (Elsafty & Ragheb, 2020).

In the particular analysis that we outline, we are concerned about the significance of risks related to COVID-19 and changes in work practices, workplaces and workers – and don’t distinguish between the instant risks to health related to the pandemic of COVID-19 and the outcome of the economy. The comprehensive survey of the topics permits for identifying the range of psychological, social and economic risks that employees seem probable for facing the outcome of COVID-19 and particularly some of all these particular risks are those that research on previous contractions of economy recommends might have hostile – and deadly – effects of health (Çavaş & Ahmad, 2019).

Identification/Definition

While COVID-19 sharply overturned normal routines of work, it also triggered the hastening of economic trends that were previously proceeding including the relocation of work to virtual or online environments. The main difference when deliberating research on business practices like Work from Home because the pandemic of COVID-19 is that work from home was formerly frequent receptive to the preferences of employees, however, COVID-19 enforced many individuals into Compulsory Work from Home (Çavaş & Ahmad, 2019).

However, employees frequently recognize it very challenging for maintaining boundaries between non-work and work. The enforced quarantine of all employees during the pandemic of COVID-19 has a more complex problem. While the process of working from home may sound attractive if it provides a secure port, the nonappearance of parting between an individual’s home and work and the deficiency of transforms to give the evolution between the particular two areas – could become the load also. Particular that will advantage from the study involves: how do the experiences in the domains of non-work and work impact each other and also how do the identities of non-work and work interrelate when they particularly clarify at their home?

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages are given below:

  1. Working together – The enforced experience of working virtually resulted in collaboration outside the office of individuals, even operating with all colleagues globally. Those operations of the business that enhanced the implementation of innovative ways of working have shaped tremendous gains in efficiency and productivity (Prasetyo & Dzaki, 2020).
  2. Family closeness – In the front of the home, staying at house orders established innovative opportunities to bond with the members of the family. Due to work from the home process, the employees got the time to spend with their family members. This was a kind of little advantage to the individuals (Prasetyo & Dzaki, 2020).

Disadvantages are given below:

Business sales have watched a severe decline because of restrictions in travelling, maintaining social distancing, and many restrictions on business sales on few products and services and consumers resorting to cuts of budget and putting various projects of business on hold. Various organizations are struggling for recovering fixed prices or costs in the nonappearance of generation of revenue because of a sharp fall in product or service sales.

Factors

The factors that should be considered are given below:

  1. Market recession and crash – Although the pandemic of COVID-19 helped as the noticeable compound for the 2020 crashes of the market and consequent recovery, the fact is that the entire business markets were already risky and delicate. These factors of the market need to be considered as they could implicate the business very severely (Cohen & Deng, 2012).
  2. Weak efficiency and productivity – Gentle development of productivity and also the lack of concern on productivity and efficiency have been a chance with the development of the economy of the previous decade. The pandemic of COVID-19 further decreased productivity by confusing the operations of the business.
  3. Concerns for the environment – At the beginning of the year 2020, climate changes were moving ahead to the front of framing the plans and strategy of the long-duration business. Though temporarily outshined by the pandemic of COVID-19 many CEOs at present also watch the changes in climate as the factor affecting their organization (Cohen & Deng, 2012).
  4. Advancement of technology – Advancement in technology will have a great impact in the upcoming time. With Quantum computing, blockchain and Al and the huge entrance of various machines, consumers will modify how societies and industries operate. Further frequent disruptions in the market will be there and the appearance of what arrives after the virtual: Independent business. This will particularly change the field of business (Amadeo, 2012).

Conclusion

By concluding this report we also conclude that pandemic of COVID-19 has had a great impact on businesses and organizations. As is recognized from previous research on the work of a team among all scientists, the advantages of this particular approach as various hands create light works and also various heads are good than the few ones mainly as the individuals are dealing with the crucial wonder known as COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has sharply accelerated the particular speed of many changes linked with operating outside of co-located workplaces. Virtual practices of work are probably to spread as the companies realize the savings in cost from organizing labour with some full-time workers and further contractors linked technically and possibly with some less space of office in reflection of health risk to be linked with conservative disclose-plan worksites.

Recommendations

  1. Wherever probable, the organizations must set up the office at home and enable the employees to operate proactively from their homes.
  2. The organization should evaluate the implications of COVID-19 on their business from the financial and operational perspectives.
  3. The organizations must manage the flow of cash across the chain of supply.
  4. They should address the implication of the epidemic on duties arising from agreements with the partners of the business.
  5. They should address the main risks and ensure the endurance of business (Amadeo, 2012).

Discussion

Woolworths is the largest chain of supermarkets in Australia as it is operating around 1,076 stores around Australia. Woolworths depend on around 115,000 members of the team in all the stores, customer care offices, and centres of distribution for providing the consumers with greater convenience, value, range and services (Faloye, 2014).

As Woolworths is the largest chain of supermarkets in Australia, it prides itself on operating very closely with farmers and growers of Australia for making sure that the best quality products and services are accessible to their consumers. Woolworths also understands that all the customers are seeking a simple and innovative manner of shopping. Customers could shop easily from the comfort zone of their particular computer at their residence or on the bus or train on their route home from their work by utilizing various methods of technology or the website of the organization. As technology is advancing day by day, Woolworths Group is also utilizing emerging trends of technologies in their operations the business.

As technology has surely become much more powerful in the industry retail in the previous years, consumers are now further tending in picking up their cell phones for searching and purchasing various products and items online instead of going to the retailers’ shops and that is why Woolworths Group is also offering online shopping services to their consumers. But, ordinary retail stores are still the major priority of various consumers and it is also essential that they must remain up to date with all the advancements of technology in the market. (Faloye, 2014).

Benefits of implementing the new technology

Various benefits that Woolworths group are getting by implementing the innovative technology are given below:

  1. Decrease in the costs of inventory – We can say that the sector of the retail industry is running today due to inventory only. It is known that the control method of inventory is the basic equipment for the management of retail, and all the retailers are satisfied with this. With the management of inventory, the organization has the idea that what it has in their store for getting the idea of their stock whether it is buying or selling. This process takes very much effort and time, executing technology could help the retail organization digitally manage all those things. Once it is done online, each aspect of the performance of the store is in the system of the fingerprint. The organizations could manage each thing online and selects its preferences either margins, costs, or price (Ismagilova & Sukhova, 2016).
  2. More satisfaction of consumers – Satisfaction of consumers must be at the basic of the business as it is the main aspect in selecting whether the organization will be successful or not. Organizations might observe that sometimes consumers have various concerns, however, they recognize it is hard in discussing with the brand or store due to poor communication. In this situation, the organization can implement or execute technology for offering a seamless experience and support to consumers. The organization could give digital assistance and get satisfaction by resolving the jargon of the consumers instantly (Ismagilova & Sukhova, 2016).
  3. Enhanced association between consumer and retailer – Consumer service is the critical factor of any retail store since the customer of the store expects that they give them with excellent services that they ask for. If the stores help their consumers with all their apprehensions, it will satisfy the consumers easily. Having the technology of smart and smooth scheduling of the ecommerce retail store could be the best step for connecting with the customers. Many brands are there with some luxury things; consumers could simply set some appointments at the closed location of a retail store and select the preferred time and day (Granados, et al., 2021).
  4. Safer and secure environment of shopping in-store – The further and very essential advantage that the organization could consider of utilizing technology is that for all the consumers it became very easier for shopping personally. The cause of this is the COVID-19 pandemic as individuals were very habitual to shopping through online applications and also purchasing various items through online shopping. Due to this, seriousness has created a disaster among all the shoppers.

Because of modern software and technology, people are making further now to in-store or offline shopping. Technology trends have aided the owners of the store in organizing purchases of consumers in suitability and slots (Granados, et al., 2021).

Research Findings

There is not any denial that we exist in the era of technology. It doesn’t matter what organization or features of life we see today, technology affects it in some manner. In this report, we find that one of the major advantages of technology is suitability. People could now purchase while just only sitting at their residence. All the information about the product is only a click far. Individuals have an immediate approach to every particular thing that they can probably desire to know. Businesses could reach potential consumers across the globe, doesn’t matter how small or large their business operation is (Loevinsohn, et al., 2012).

By implementing the emerging technology trends, Woolworths Group can take many advantages in their business operation of retailing. As the technology helps to increase customer satisfaction, there are various methods of technology which is beneficial for every particular organization to identify probable risks that can damage the operations of the business. Because of technology, a retail store can access everything easily and rapidly. Software of security, tools of e-commerce, advice of finance and education help the organization keep and flourish their consumers engaged. The technology could enhance productivity if the company has more than a thousand employees as artificial intelligence permits all the companies to reflect as such they have a complete team operating for satisfying consumers. It secures the overhead processes and expands the abilities of business (Loevinsohn, et al., 2012).

Conclusion

By combining all the discussions, it is observed that technology is a blessing for all of us in disguise. It has entered almost all aspects of people’s lives from operations of the business to freedom and society also. The entire world has become the International Village and technology has carried the globe very nearer than in previous times. In previous times, people utilized only communication by telegrams or letters which were very long processes however now the means of communication are very cheaper (Oye, et al., 2012).

In the retail industry also technology has been very beneficial as it increases productivity, satisfies a large number of consumers, saves time for consumers as they can do shopping from their home, secure them from frauds, and help them in giving relevant information about retail markets and store, helps the retail stores by making rapid delivery, fast payment, small queues and digital shows of relevant information and recommendations. Overall technology permits the supermarkets including Woolworths Group for evolving in a manner that creates shopping for food as simple as conceivable (Oye, et al., 2012).

Abstract

CIMIC and Lendlease are two of Australia’s and the world’s top engineering and construction firms. It has been possible for both of these organizations to withstand and thrive through a great deal of change and growth throughout the years. While sales and profitability data show a favourable head-to-head comparison, other important measures such as crucial market ratios, cash flow analyses, and daily operational efficiencies set these two companies apart from one another. Overall, the Lendlease group has a modest advantage in terms of quantitative indicators, as well as corporate social responsibility and management qualities. There are several variables to consider when deciding whether or not to buy, hold or sell a stock, including personal preferences, financial data, and current economic situations. According to an in-depth assessment and comparison of both companies, and taking into account the current Australian economic landscape, the Lendlease Company would be a better choice to invest in, albeit not much.

 

 

Introduction

Lendlease and the CIMIC organizations, which are involved in asset management as well as building and engineering projects, are the ones who are responsible for providing all of these services. In addition to mining and mineral processing, the CIMIC group also provides environmental services as part of its additional offerings. The Lendlease Group is comprised of several subsidiaries (Pászthory,2015).

The following companies are part of the CIMIC group. In addition to Leighton Asia and Broad, CPB Contractors include (construction), the Thiess Corporation (mining), Sedgman (mining), UGL Holdings Inc. (services), Partnerships in the Pacific (public-private partnerships) and activities of the EIC (consultancy).

Analysis of CIMIC

Following are some highlights of our FY21 financial performance:

  • Underlying NPAT of $405 million, statutory NPAT of $402 million
  • Group revenue2 increased by 8.3% on an annualized basis to $14.7 billion.
  • NPAT margins4 of 4.2 percent versus 4.7 percent in FY20; profit before tax margins of 5.2 percent versus 3.9 percent in FY20;
  • The refactoring of operating cash flow increased by $603 million over the previous year.
  • 4 billion dollars in readily available cash; good financial position.
  • Debt reduction from $542 million to $498 million, after including repayments and dividend payments of $318 million

With our first foray into the Eurobond market, we were able to improve our capital structure while also broadening our funding options and maturities. We agreed to a three-year, $1.4 billion syndicated performance bond facility as a means of assisting us in fulfilling our commitments under the robust tender pipeline.

Money Comes In And Out

  • An operating cash flow of $516.2 million, an increase of $602.5 million over FY20 on a comparable basis.
  • Pre-factoring EBITDA cash conversion for FY21 is 57%.

On at 31 December 2020, the factoring balance was $434.1 million, a decrease of $541.7 million from the previous year’s $975.8 million high (Das,2020).

THE ECONOMIC SITUATION

  • 4 billion dollars in liquid assets consist of $1.94 billion in cash and $2.44 billion in undrawn bank facilities, indicating a strong position on the books.
  • In the nine months leading up to September 2021, the $144.0 million loan balance was fully repaid, and the program was shut down.

An eight-year corporate Eurobond (equal in value to $982.5 million at the time of issuance) was issued to diversify the company’s funding sources (Band,2013).

Liabilities with a fixed rate of interest

At the end of December 2021, the company had a total of $2,442.1 million in interest-bearing obligations. May 2021 marked the launch of CIMIC’s EUR500.0 million eight-year corporate Eurobond, which will remain outstanding until May 2029. Due to the increased demand in the market, an additional 125.0 million Eurobonds were issued on June 7, 2021, bringing the total face value up to EUR625.0 million. As a component of its strategy for managing its capital, CIMIC will continue to have access to the Eurobond market thanks to this offering (Evans & Whitby,2015).

Financial Activities Generate Cash Flows

Financing activities cost the company $973.5 million in FY21. As a precautionary measure to support our group during COVID-19, we had to repay a significant portion of our debt, which included working capital facilities that had previously been partially drawn upon. This was after deducting cash inflows from our EUR625.0 million corporate Eurobond (equivalent to A$982.5 million at the issuance date).

There were $88.5 million in payments for financing leases and $15.6 million for the forcible purchase of Devine during this period. Financial guarantees granted by CIMIC for certain BICC liabilities and other costs paid by financial liabilities and other amounts due recognized on 31 December 2019 were $84.5 million (FY20: $1,398.4 million).

According to the 2021-22 NSW State Budget, an investment package in the infrastructure of $108.5 billion would be implemented over the next four years. Sydney Metro West (PPP), Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport (PPP), West Harbour Tunnel and Beaches Link Scheme and Warringah Freeway Upgrade (totalling $6.3 billion), M6 Extension Stage 1 ($2.7 billion), and Great Western Highway Phase 1 ($2.0 billion) are all included in the program. The State Government’s commitment to early works and site preparation for Sydney’s third city, Bradfield, which will be built adjacent to the Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport and connected to the Sydney Metro, both of which are currently under construction, is also outlined in the Budget  (Band & Gerafi,2013).

Over the next four years, the Queensland State Government’s capital investment program will provide $52.2 billion in infrastructure, including funding for schools, hospitals, roads, rails, and new sources of renewable energy. A large program of construction on M1 Pacific Motorway, a $1 billion investment in Gold Coast Light Rail – Stage Three, and ongoing work on a $13.3 billion Bruce Highway upgrade – which includes the Rockhampton Ring Road – are all included in this budget. As part of the state budget’s push for more investment in the renewable energy industry, the Queensland Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Jobs Fund were given a $2 billion budget boost .

To assist the many projects being undertaken by State and Territory Governments all around Australia, the Federal Government of Australia has committed to investing $110 billion in infrastructure over the following decade. It includes funding for the $14.5 billion Inland Rail project, which will create a 1,700 km freight corridor from Melbourne to Brisbane, the $4 billion Geelong Fast Rail in Victoria, the $14.5 billion North-South Corridor in South Australia, the $565 million Midland Highway Upgrade in Tasmania, and the $4.4 billion Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan (WSIP) and $1 billion M80 in Sydney. In addition, it includes funding for the Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan (WSIP), which will create a freight corridor from Sydney’s western

These improvements are supported by the Long-Term Emission Reduction Plan that was developed by the Federal Government of Australia. This plan outlines Australia’s technology approach for achieving net-zero emissions by the year 2050. The plan calls for public and private investments totalling over $80 billion to be made in low-emissions technologies by the year 2030. These investments will include significant new financing and investment programs supported by the government. Australia’s clean hydrogen industry may attract an investment of 350 billion dollars over the next few decades. 62,63, as an illustration of such a technology, CIMIC has the intention of playing a significant part in the expansion of this market and believes that it has the potential to significantly improve the efforts that our industry does to lower carbon emissions.

Donations to political campaigns

We will not make or solicit payments from organizations that mainly act as conduits for the funding of political parties, and we will not make or solicit donations from organizations that primarily serve as conduits for the funding of political parties and candidates for public office. It is against the rules for the Group to give a political party the use of its facilities or equipment for free or at a heavily discounted rate as a form of political contribution. Our methodology is laid out in great detail in both the Code of Conduct and the Corporate Affairs Policy.

CIMIC does not have any defined benefit superannuation plans and does not have any unfunded pension liabilities. This information should be known by international investors who are not familiar with Australia’s compulsory superannuation94 (or pension) program. The super guarantee (SG) program in Australia compels employers to contribute at least ten percent of their workers’ base salary to guarantee their workers’ financial stability in retirement (Parle et al.,2017). The only duty that CIMIC has about the money that workers have invested with the firm is to make the SG payment; apart from that, the corporation has no additional responsibilities.

The members of the Committee are all the Managing Directors that are in charge of CIMIC’s Executive and Operating Companies. The Group places a high priority on and invests heavily in significant technological advancements and digital technologies that will improve IDD and be to the company’s advantage. On the Council, there are individuals known as Innovation Leads who are accountable for the Innovation Roadmap of their respective operating firms. Sharing knowledge and experience, collaborating, conducting research, and analysing and recommending to the Steering Committee for financing innovative technologies that have the potential to bring value on a large scale or across the Group, all to increase operating company investments. The Council is responsible for locating, analysing, validating, and developing brilliant ideas. It then provides support for the ideas’ execution while also monitoring their development and reporting on their progress.

Because we are unable to provide additional funding for campaigns, special causes, or other activities taken on behalf of members, the only way for CIMIC members to participate is by paying the required annual subscription fees. We will not join any industry organizations unless doing so is consistent with both the Code and our commitment to being honest. CIMIC is in charge of managing the entire procedure, and all corporate memberships need to be approved by the organization’s Executive Chairman and CEO.

On November 19, 2021, this joint venture that was established by Apollo Global Management LLC (“Apollo”) and funds that were managed by affiliates of the Group completed its initial public offering (IPO) on the Australian Securities Exchange. As a result of this, new shares were issued to support a drop in debt at better terms. As a direct consequence of this, thirty percent of Ventia’s share capital was listed. To reach their goal of having 30 percent of the company’s shares be freely traded, Ventia’s existing principal owners, CIMIC and Apollo, each sold an additional 2 percent of their shares, for a total sell-down of 4 percent. Even though it still owns 32.8 percent of the firm, AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements and AASB 11: Joint Arrangements say that CIMIC no longer has joint control over Venetia. This is the case even if CIMIC is subject to AASB 11: Joint Arrangements. Although a joint venture has been classified as an associate by the accounting policy of the Group, CIMIC continues to have a significant amount of control over the organization.

Lendlease

Our approach is based on the belief that maximizing long-term value creation through accomplishing social, environmental, and economic goals is the best way to go about things. Customers, investment partners, governments, and the communities in which we operate all have a role in this process of teamwork.

Our end-to-end capabilities in all elements of real estate, from idea and planning to design and delivery, to finance and investment management, sets us apart from our competitors. Our ability to handle all aspects of real estate, from concept to completion, sets us apart from our competition.

Investments

This segment contains the Group’s leading investment and asset management platform in addition to holdings in a variety of property types, including residential, commercial, retail, and industrial real estate as well as retirement communities. From sovereign wealth funds to huge public and private pension funds, we have worked with some of the world’s top money managers for decades. We have experience with both unlisted and listed property funds and mandates. Our research-driven investing approach is backed up by active asset management, and we take sustainability very seriously. Our competitive advantage comes from the wide range of high-quality products that integrated strategy creates for our investors (Jenkins,2014).

Finance Corporation for Reconstruction and Development’s Hardship and Well-Being Fund. The Financial Corporation for Reconstruction and Development’s (Finance Corporation) Hardship and Well-being Fund Lendlease was particularly heavily hit by the epidemic in several locations. This year, we tapped into the Fund to send out a one-time reward to certain employees who went to considerable efforts to help consumers during the epidemic.

We had a difficult year in FY21 as we learned to operate in new ways. We’ve made it our mission to help those affected by the epidemic. It doesn’t matter where you work or how distant you are; we’re invested in the health and well-being of our employees. See the Hardship & Wellbeing Fund on page 35 for more information. The Group was able to make significant headway in the direction of achieving its strategic goals.

The management of future funds will benefit from the progress made on investment partner projects totalling $5 billion, which has already been accomplished. Six further urbanization projects with a combined value of 7.4 billion dollars were successfully funded. The closing of the deal on the sale of the Engineering company, as well as the sale of the US Telecommunications and Energy enterprises, was accomplished. After the close of the financial year, it was decided to sell the Services division, and the transaction is likely to be finalized by the end of the current year.

Investing results

Despite the impact of COVID, the Investments section generated an EBITDA of $276 million, a decrease of 8% from the previous year. As expected, the segment’s ROIC was 5.9%, barely shy of the 6-9 percent mark. The Investments platform’s management EBITDA, which is produced from fund and asset management operations, fell from $198 million to $165 million. Profitability from the Paya Lebar Quarter, which was completed in the previous year, dwindled to $145 million in funds management revenue, down from $212 million.

Revenue from asset management increased from $105 million to $139 million. The total rise in asset management fees was supported by a $1.3 billion renovation activity secured throughout the US residential portfolio. A decrease in retail asset management costs, along with the impact of COVID, hurt performance. As a result, residential asset management fees are now the primary source of asset management revenue (Barrett,2017). The most important operating measures are the amount of money and assets under management, as well as the investment portfolio. The new financial year began with $39.6 billion in funds under administration, an increase of 10%.

New multisector investment mandates in Australia, the United States, and Europe, as well as acquisitions throughout the Australian Funds Management platform, fuelled the company’s expansion. The increase of the Australian dollar has a negligible influence on the translation of foreign currency. Future secured FUM based on development projects now being delivered via managed funds or mandates adds another $2.7 billion to the current funds under administration.

A change in any of the assumptions used in budgeting and forecasting might have a significant influence on the Group’s future profitability, hence management considers this to be an area of estimate uncertainty. Finances and predictions for five years are examined every month by the Group, which develops budgets and forecasts For the deferred tax assets, these estimates and budgets serve as the foundation for future profitability. Inflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates, commodity prices, the company’s capacity to access capital, oversupply and demand circumstances, and government fiscal, monetary, and regulatory policies all have an impact on the group’s profitability.

The group’s present and future profitability are being driven by a combination of factors, including its development pipeline, joint ventures in property projects, investments in the retirement sector, and passive assets such as property funds. This component of the Statement of Financial Position includes both direct and indirect property assets. Direct property assets include things like investments that are equity-accounted for, while indirect property assets include things like inventories.

Working capital and liquidity

The Group has to have adequate cash on hand, undrawn credit facilities, and access to external capital to meet all of its responsibilities, including keeping up with the development pipeline, pursuing new possibilities, and meeting existing commitments. In this section, a summary of the financial resources that are required to support the activities of the group is provided, together with information on existing commitments and the liquidity risk that is presented by financial obligations. This section also includes disclosures of the Group’s trading assets and liabilities, excluding inventories, which were created as a result of trading activities and were used to determine the Group’s performance. Inventories were not included in this disclosure.

Cash, undrawn credit facilities, and access to external capital are essential if the Group is ever going to keep pace with the development pipeline and stay up with its current obligations. This section provides a summary of the company’s financial resources, as well as existing obligations and the liquidity risk that financial liabilities provide. Trade assets and liabilities are also included in this section of the financial statement. They are used to calculate a company’s performance, and they are included in this section as well (POPESCU,2019).

Conclusion

For now, we have taken care of our people’s urgent financial needs, but we also want to help them succeed over time. It was in FY21 that we collaborated on a series of webinars that provided our employees with the tools and information they needed for making smart financial decisions. Partners with organizations, non-profits, and c.16,000 suppliers and a wide spectrum of institutional investors are part of our B2B relationship portfolio. Across all of our business lines, we work with and for companies. Two-thirds of third-party cash is invested in our Investments platform by our top 10 investors. Canada Pension Plan, Mitsubishi Estate, GIC, APG, NPS, and Aware Super are only a few of the world’s most well-known pension and sovereign wealth funds that make up this group.

Key issues There is an issue raised in the meeting. As they have to clear the funding statement and motive of fund implementation in charities.
Agenda The agenda of this meeting is to explain to the participant which types of the fund is required for charity.

 

Supervisor – According to the scenario we have to consider the investment in the NGO for better development. The real motive for the amount of money that funds will help the charity for better development. The AIDS Foundation the charity needs the amount of around $25,000 for building up the and training 5 counselors in the local areas. AIDS/HIV for the helping the needy people the society. Also, provide them information related to AIDS/HIV for their safety.

Participant  – based on your plan and description of the plan. We understand the importance of this using the amount of money as a fund. This will be an important thing for social improvement and development.

Supervisor – Therefore AIDS and HIV NGOs need $ 95000 for their types of equipment and Hospital specialty development in the environment. This will help the NGOs and charities to provide help to needy people. This is known as the division of work that helps to reduce the key issues.

Participant  – As we understand your considered consideration related to AIDS and HIV but the budget which you built for us is too expensive to do funding in this section. We are not able to consider this NGO for investment.

Supervisor – The animal welfare Charity guide Dogs for the blind NGO. The NGO is purchasing 15 new dogs to train them and to use them to help blind people in their daily uses.

Participant  – yes this is an important thing to do as we have to help the people. Those people who are blind and not able to see the. This also protects them in a better manner.

Supervisor – For buying the dogs to help the blind people the cost of the 15 dogs is $45000 and some kinds of blind dog training will be organized in the NGO. which will cost $75000 for the facilities and the trainers who are going to train the dogs. I want to explain to all the participants that want to give the fund to charity. This will help them to develop the working environment in the charity section.

Participant  – We understand you are concerned related to the dog’s training and their types of equipment also organize the facilitators and need fees to train the dogs. but the amount which you are asking for the investment as funding will be out of our budget and we will not be able to do the investment in your Charity.  it will be a little bit costly for us to do investment in this section.

Supervisor – There is a local Church community action program. This NGO runs a job culture for the long-term unemployed people the people who do not have employment in their life and need money for their daily life’s expensive handling. If you guys do not agree to give the amount of fund to HIV charity. Then UNICEF NGO is the better option for funding the people who have asthma.

There is also $ 30000 of money required for the maintenance of the NGO. the NGO wants a minibus and wheelchair for the access meant of the friendly club the full fund is related to the two-day trip .which includes the beach and other local Residency the total cost of this is 24000 and it includes the salary for the care too.

Participant  – As I have understood your NGO and the motive of your NGO is to provide jobs and unemployment for the people and organized. the friendly club but this will not be suitable for us to do the investment as we want to do something for the society not for something for fun.

Supervisor  – Surf life-saving Queen silent is the NGO that is working and there will be1500 people who saved the seas around the state as they seek the fund. there is the new faster and more reliable electricity with the system is life there will be the total cost of this $35000. as they improved the GPS radio systems and the two life boards on the side of the beach and it will have cost $6000. the total cost per person would be estimated at around $1000 per person. there will be 24 volunteers will be available in the active positions around the beach because this is the division for the work and it will be making a better outcome with these funds.

Participant  – we understand your consideration related to saving the life of the people around the beach. this has been very clear that there will be most of the people who die around the beach. as we have to save them this is the biggest achievement of life to save the life of the people. therefore we need to do something more related to reality this is the main reason we need to choose the NGOs that are doing better campaigns to compare to others and you in the society.

Supervisor  – UNICEF asthma campaign is seeking the fund from the society to screen the asthma importance in the environment there will be a mobile asthma clinic open which is cost $42000 the salary cost will be $35000 also insurance and fuel cost of the mobile clinic will be 8000. If you are ready to give the amount in funding and they are willing to pay only 20% of the fund amount. This will help the people who are suffering from asthma to get better services from those people. This is the description of the funding in the UNICEF asthma campaign but the campaign needs $100,000 for buying the inhalers for the people and leaflets for the people to do the better development in the society.

Participant  – According to your description related to the UNICEF asthma campaign. we have to understand that the NGO $100,000 for the investment and it will be related to our budget and we are ready to do the investment in this NGO for the development.

How to Tell If Your Knife is Sharp Enough

 

 

 

 

 

PUT THE BLADE TO THE PAPER TEST

Even the best knives will dull over time with regular use. To determine if your knife needs sharpening, put it to the paper test. Hold a folded, but not creased, sheet of newspaper by one end. (You can also use a single sheet of basic printer/copy paper.) Lay the blade against the top edge at an angle and slice outward. If the knife fails to slice cleanly, try steeling it (see below). If it still fails, it needs sharpening.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Scientific Glimpse: What a Sharp and Dull Knife Look Like Up Close

 

 

 

 

In our knife sharpener research, we examined blades—from sharp (smooth and sharp) to dull (all chewed up)—under a high-powered laboratory microscope at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering.

When to Use a Knife Sharpening Steel

 

A so-called sharpening steel, the metal rod sold with most knife sets, doesn’t really sharpen a knife, but rather it hones the edge of a slightly dulled blade. Sweeping the blade along the steel realigns the edge. Throughout this motion, make sure to maintain a 15-degree angle between the blade and the steel.

How to Use a Knife Sharpening Steel

 

 

 

 

STEP 1

To safely use a steel, hold it vertically with the tip firmly planted on the counter. Place the heel of the blade against the tip of the steel and point the knife tip slightly upward. Hold the blade at a 15-degree angle away from the steel.

 

 

 

 

STEP 2

Maintaining light pressure and a 15-degree angle between the blade and the steel, slide the blade down the length of the steel in a sweeping motion, pulling the knife toward your body so that the middle of the blade is in contact with the middle of the steel.

 

 

 

 

STEP 3

Finish the motion by passing the tip of the blade over the bottom of the steel. Repeat this motion on the other side of the blade. Four or five strokes on each side of the blade (a total of eight to ten alternating passes) should realign the edge.

 

 

 

All About Whetstones

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PROS:

  • Extremely adaptable; because the cook holds the knife at a specified angle to match the blade (Western, hybrid gyutou, Japanese), a whetstone can be used to sharpen any
  • Can sharpen knives with a full
  • Most stones feature a coarse and fine side, which determines the amount of sharpening at each
  • Relatively

CONS:

 

 

 

 

  • Takes practice to master; need to hold the knife at the correct angle to ensure a proper
  • Can take time to restore a very dull

How to Use a Whetstone

 

STEP 1: SECURE STONE ON COUNTERTOP

Place rubberized shelf liner or damp paper towels under whetstone to make sure it stays in place (whetstone should be coarse side up).

 

 

 

 

STEP 2: SHARPEN FIRST SIDE

Face knife away from you and place handle end on whetstone at the angle of your blade (typically 15-degree angle for Asian-style knives and 20-degree angle for Western-style knives). Place other hand in the middle of the flat side of the blade, keeping your fingers flat and away from the sharp edge. Draw blade down the stone in a wide, circular manner, holding the blade at a constant angle until the tip of the knife runs off the other edge. Repeat several times, depending on dullness of blade.

 

 

 

 

STEP 3: CHECK SHARPNESS OF FIRST SIDE

To check if the first side is sharpened, carefully run your thumb perpendicular to the edge of the blade–when you can feel the burr from handle to tip, that side is sharp enough. (Safety tip:

Do not run your finger parallel to the blade.)

 

 

 

 

STEP 4: SHARPEN SECOND SIDE

Switch knife over and repeat the sharpening process in the opposite direction.

 

 

 

 

STEP 5: REPEAT TECHNIQUE ON FINE SIDE

Turn whetstone over to fine side and repeat process on both sides of knife until blade is sharp.

Assessment 1

Question 1

The reason behind the plain English writing style is the matter is quickly & easily understandable to the reader.

The three benefits of plain English writing style are:

Convey Easily

Save time

Globally Understandable

Question 2

Convey easily: The main benefit of writing in a plain style is that we can easily convey the message. For example, if we found any message or any matter which language is very typical or not understood easily, then the purpose behind writing that matter will not be fulfilled. So it is the main reason to write any matter which can be easily understandable to everyone to convey the message easily.

Save Time: When any message, matter, or document will be short in plain English style it takes very less time to read & understand that matters so that the person takes the action quickly &easily which saves time.

Globally Understandable: As we know that English is the only language that can be used to communicate with people globally. Many companies have been working across their countries.So if it has been written in plain English writing style it will be better to understand & communicate their message or any matter with people around the world(Sharma et ., al 2012).

Question 3

Active Voice: John ate whole rice at lunch

Passive Voice: At lunch, whole rice was eaten by john.

Active Voice: Suzy cleaned the entire house.

Passive Voice: The entire house was cleaned by Suzy.

Question 4

(1)We can use passive voice in that condition where it’s important to indicate the action being performed, rather than who is performing it.

Example: Our house is being painted.

(2) We can use passive voice in that condition when we want to indicate or highlight the person or receiver of a particular action.

Example: Tom was beaten by his father.

(3) We can use passive voice in that condition when we are talking about the general truth or sentence.

Example: Company SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) is made to be followed.

Question 5

Simple Sentence: A Simple sentence is a sentence that includes the basic elements (Sub +Verb)

Example 1: The Bus was late.

In the above sentence “The Bus” = Subject, Was = Verb

Example 2: I looked for john at the airport

In above sentence “ I ” = Subject, Looked = Verb

Compound Sentences: A Compound sentence is a sentence that is made by two independent clauses connected with Coordinating conjunction.

In today’s time, the status of competition in every business has increased to a great extent, even the smallest business is not left untouched by the effects of competition.  In the same direction, a cafe was opened by ABC Accounting Inc as competition for Pax Cafe, which showed a decrease in the business operations and profits of Pax Café (Mayer, 2018).

As a head chef and owner of Pax Cafe, it has become necessary to lay down an action plan or establish of a business contract to maintain and increase the pace of business activities and profits ratio as well. Thus, doing the same type of business at the same place, necessitated the need to complete the process of negotiating a business-to-business contract for the supply of goods and services.  Along with this, in order to run the same type of business in one place, Pax Cafe will have to diversify its products so that the customer is attracted to the origin of its products.  Apart from this, keeping in view the action response of the hotel opened by ABC Accounting Inc, it will have to make changes in its business operations and production. Business contracts are legally binding contracts. The rules and regulations for carrying out the arrangements are set out in this Agreement (Gill, 2016).

To create this business agreement, Pax Café will first demonstrate a business relationship with ABC accounting Inc and discuss the terms and conditions of the contract.  There are mainly four essential features included in the contract or research, which include mutual consent, adequate consideration, validity, and valid proposal.  Along with this, the terms of trade should be fully clarified which includes providing the goods on the basis of time and demand of the customers.

While entering into a contract, it is necessary to fully mention all the terms and obligations under it so that no problem may arise while dealing with business in the future, along with dispute resolution clause and exclusion clause are included.  In the end, also rules and regulations are established to terminate the contract. This business contract shall set forth all federal laws that are essential for the smooth conduct and discharge of a contract.  For smooth conduct of business, Pax Cafe has to lay down an action plan and explain the product, analyze the market, prioritize the products on the basis of timing and customer demand, lay down clear goals, and the action plan to be implemented along with it.  But it will be necessary to keep monitor and controlling (Sadiq and Governatori, 2015).  The action plan and contract to be adopted by Pax Cafe will address the following requirements:

Action plan

Action Plan
Terms of trade The terms of the business are first specified while determining the action plan.  These terms of business include the terms related to supply chain management, customer, and sales.
Credit offers Offers will be made to attract customers towards your business and products.  These offers will cover the conditions for customers to borrow and make late but limited payments.  The payment period will be fixed at around 7 to 10 days.  This offer plan will be very fast and most popular among the customers.  But also, if the customer or wholesaler fails to make the payment within the stipulated time or non-payment, then appropriate legal action will also be taken against him (Raab et al., 2018).
Need additional staff The resources needed to fulfill your contracts and action plans with clients and additional staffing needs will also need to be considered.  As the facilities are made available to the customers (variety in payment and product), the list of such customers will grow and the need for additional staff will come.  The requirement of additional staff or resources will also have an impact on costs i.e., costs will also increase but this can be covered by the increasing number of customers.
Deposit requirement It is natural to need a deposit to grow any business or to change policies and plans.  Therefore, in the same way, for determining the action plan or contract in the Pax Cafe, the deposit will also be required on the basis of the area and production of the Pax Café (Williams et al., 2015).
Special dietary If the business wants to stay ahead in the competition and increase the profit ratio, then it becomes imperative to provide food and a special diet to the customers based on their needs.  Special diet includes vegetarian, non-vegetarian, semi-vegetarian, semi-vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan products.
Add on Policies Pax Café has to expand its business and offline service, as well as online service, will also be included.
Cancellation policy The main motive of determining the action plan is to increase the ratio of customers to profit so that it can maintain its dominance in the market.  In the same direction, certain changes will be made under the customer’s order cancellation policies in which only a limited part of the order price will be returned to the customer.  Suppose that only about 60% to 70% of the order price will be returned to the customer (Chau et al., 2018).
Policy about contract A policy is also prescribed at the time of making each contract which includes a clause to terminate the contract for both parties.  If any such problem or conflict arises in the future, after which the operation of the contract is negligibly possible, then the contract can be terminated under this clause.

 

The contract between Pax Café and Gluten Muten: –

There are some clients of the accounting firm who express their special needs regarding diet.  And as their special dietary needs led to a demand for gluten-free products, it proved impossible for Pax Cafe to produce a gluten-free diet due to health and safety concerns.  But after local research, a company was found that manufactures gluten-free products as well as provides delivery (Harnjo et al., 2021).  So, in this situation, there is a need to make a separate contract which will be between Pax Cafe and Gluten Muten company. A contract is a legal agreement that is going to happen between two companies in this scenario, in which work is done for a fixed and stipulated work and amount.  The contract between Pax Café and Gluten Muten Company will primarily cover the issues related to gluten-free products and the price fixed for these products will also be specified in the contract so that no conflicts arise due to time in the future and changes in customer demand.  Along with this, the specific quantity, quality, and on-time delivery of the product will also be directed in this contract. All these decisions and modifications are done under legislation that is established by the company’s law and government (Kiss and Popovics, 2022).

 

 

Assessment 2

Scenario1: Contract between Pax Cafe and ABC Accounting Inc’s Café

Pax Cafe’s Manager: – Our business, customers, and profit are facing a lot of loss due to the opening of the café by ABC Accounting.  It would, therefore, be appropriate to establish a good relationship with ABC Accounting through a contract and include such issues in the contract as may be helpful in assisting in the conduct and development of the business.

Pax Cafe’s legal advisor: – Yes, absolutely right, I think that in the contract we should discuss all the conflicts that are coming in front of becoming obstacles in the conduct of business.  We have therefore incorporated favorable terms into the contract that seek to mitigate financial, legal, and operational risks.  I believe that in order to operate the same type of business at the same place, we should improve through our relation contract.

ABC Accounting Inc’s Café’s Manager: – But from my point of view, you have made the terms of the contract for the benefit of your company i.e., price and operating costs have been set as per your convenience.

ABC Accounting Inc’s Café’s legal advisor: – Yes, I completely agree with you that if the operating costs are set keeping in mind the scope of our business and the core costs, then we have no objection to accepting this contract.

Pax Cafe’s legal advisor: – But it seems to me that if the contract is set on the basis of both the area of ​​the business and the turnover, then it can help in maintaining the contract for a longer period.

ABC Accounting Inc’s Café’s legal advisor: – If there is a question about the long duration of the contract, then we will not have any objection to renewing the contract if the relationship remains good during the conduct of the business process.

Pax Cafe’s Manager: – Well, if I will come only after these changes are updated in the contract, then I am ready to do these updations.

Scenario2: Contract between Pax Cafe and Gluten Muten

Pax Cafe’s Manager: – As you know that is increasing day by day the demand for gluten-free products to our customers, however, so we are unable to produce the products we want your company supported us all these things’ contracts through be kept regularly up to a specified time frame.

Gluten Muten’s Manager: – Yes, of course, we have no objection to providing our support to your company, but we do have objections to the terms and prices set forth in this contract.

Pax Cafe’s legal advisor: – Yes you can tell me completely about your objection, I will give my full contribution to solve your objection.

Gluten Muten’s Legal advisor: – In the contract you made, we feel that the time limit should be reduced, as well as you know that it takes a lot of costs and effort to make a gluten-free product so we would like to see that you set Product prices should be increased.

Pax Cafe’s legal advisor: – But we have set the deadline to maintain a good relationship and work together for a long time.  And at the same time, we wish that we can enjoy the convenience provided by you for a long time.

Gluten Muten’s Legal advisor: – Yes, there is no doubt that we are not inclined to increase our business, but at the same time we want to reduce the time limit so that the new contract according to the demand of time and the situation to come will be made.

Pax Cafe’s legal advisor: – Well, I don’t mind reducing the time limit but the prices have been fixed only after proper market analysis, so resolving this objection can prove to be harmful to our business.

Gluten Muten’s Legal advisor: – Well if you are ready to accept one of our time limit conditions then we are also ready to increase your business and provide service at the price set by you.
