.
Global Electronics is a multinational manufacturer and distributor of portable electronic devices, such as cell phones, tablet
computers, and game consoles. Global recently introduced its newest product, the Hawk 5G smartphone. The product rollout has
been a huge international success, largely because the Hawk has a unique feature – it can automatically translate text messages
from other Hawk phones into any language the user wants. The Hawk has been rolled out on five continents from distribution
centers in Atlanta, Nigeria, Brazil, Japan, and Germany. The smartphone is being manufactured at four different facilities in
Phoenix, China, Mexico, and Belgium.
Tommy Wong, the president and the CEO of Global Electronics, is pleased with the success of the Hawk’s introduction, but is
concerned that Global might not be optimizing the assignment of production from the manufacturing sites to the distribution
centers. Currently, his planners are assigning production manually based on the distances between manufacturing and
distribution. He thinks that transportation costs from the part suppliers and the manufacturing costs at each site are not being
taken into account using the current method.
We will use the Tableau software to work on this assignment. Tableau is used to perform visual analysis for spreadsheets and
databases. We will connect to the spreadsheet Global manufacturer given below (An excel file: Global Electronics Updated will
be made available). Use the Assignment 3 Data Tab.
The total operating cost of each distribution center for the production assigned is given below:

Situation: One other significant problem plagued the engineering departments at TRP. Because ofpast salary increase practices, there is now a high salary gap between the engineermanagement levels and the engineering designers. For the same long working hours, thoseworking in the operational levels (e.g., payroll, accounting, HR) made almost 15 times less thanthe engineering designers. These same operational level employees also made 25 times lessthan the engineering management groups.

Assignment Case 1:
In the past, the decision criteria for mergers and acquisitions were typically based on considerations such as the strategic fit of the merged organizations, financial criteria, and operational criteria. Mergers and acquisitions were often conducted without much regard for the human resource issues that would be faced when the organizations were joined. As a result, several undesirable effects on the organizations’ human resources commonly occurred. Nonetheless, competitive conditions favor mergers and acquisitions and they remain a frequent occurrence. Examples of mergers among some of the largest companies include the following: Honeywell and Allied Signal, British Petroleum and Amoco, Exxon and Mobil, Lockheed and Martin, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, SBC and Pacific Telesis, America Online and Time Warner, Burlington Northern and Santa Fe, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, Daimler-Benz and Chrysler, Ford and Volvo, and Bank of America and Nations Bank.
