RRR is a state-funded hospital serving a major city. It is under political pressure to reduce the waiting times of patients requiring surgical operations who need to stay at the hospital for several nights. The doctors blame a lack of bed spaces and are calling for more investment in extra beds.

You have been conducting some research into the problem and have discovered the following problems affecting the utilisation of the existing beds at RRR:

   • many patients stay extra nights due to lack of communication with the health professionals needed to monitor the patients at home

   • beds are left empty each day when patients miss their admission date but there are no processes to inform other patients to offer them the space

   • patients are admitted on days when there are no spaces available on the special equipment needed to treat their particular condition

Which THREE  linkages between Primary Activities in the Value Chain of RRR need to be improved to provide extra bed spaces at RRR?

JJJ is a private company belonging to a famous former athlete. It operates gyms and fitness clubs across its home country. Each gym or fitness club is treated as a profit centre and the manager of each centre is paid bonuses based on its financial performance.

Three years ago it introduced multidimensional performance measures into its management control systems. These measure capacity utilisation, financial performance, competitiveness, innovation, and the flexibility of its centres to cope with changing demands.

The managers of its centres have been leaving at a very high rate over the last two years. They have claimed that the measures are too open to interpretation and when they think they are improving the centre's performance they are told they are doing the wrong thing. They also complain that the managers in the centres near big cities find it much easier to reach their targets than the managers of other centres.
