same amount of time, say exercise researchers in Britain. But walks of any length beat sitting at home with your feet up and watching television. They stress. Some researchers in Britain reached these conclusions after putting 56 couch potatoes through an 18 week course of daily walks. They found that longer walks produce the most beneficial changes to the composition of blood fats, but walks of any length improve the fitness of the heart.
In the study, the normally inactive subjects were divided into three roughly equal groups. The "long walker" took a hike of between 20 and 40 minutes every day. "Intermediate walkers" had two rounds of jogging of 10 to 15 minutes, and "short walkers" did three stints of 90 to 110 minutes. The controls sat at home, as usual.
At the start and end of the 18 weeks, the health and fitness of each group were measured and it was found that the long walkers were healthiest, as measured by altered fat profiles in their blood. At the end, each liter of blood from the long walkers contained an average 0.05 grains less apolipoprotein(阿朴脂蛋白) II, a "bad" fat that is linked with heart disease. This was more than twice the drop seen in the intermediate walkers, and five times that in short walkers. In the controls, the level of this fat stayed the same. The drop in apolipoprotein II in the long walker was matched by a rise in the blood level of apolipoprotein I, a "good" fat that is associated with smooth arteries.

C、It keeps us from watching TV

Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attempted
Forion Electronics (Forion) manufactures a range of electronic goods. Its business has grown rapidly over the last ten years and is now complex and international. Forion manufactures over 100 different products, selling into 25 different countries. There is a supplier base of over 200 companies from which Forion sources. As the business has become more complex, the board has found it difficult to pull together all the information that they require in order to make decisions.
The current information systems are developed in-house and are based in the functional departments (such as purchasing, manufacturing, warehousing and delivery, selling and marketing). The organisation uses the financial system as a means of bringing together information for an overview of corporate performance.
There have been a number of examples of problems encountered with information in Forion:
– there are inefficiencies arising from ordering the wrong amount of subcomponents;
– there are often stock-outs or obsolescence of unsold goods in the warehouses, although the marketing department prepares good sales forecasts; and
– sometimes, there are insufficient delivery vehicles available to meet customer deadlines.
The board of Forion believes the problems arise from poor information sharing within the company. They are considering the purchase of an enterprise resource planning system (ERPS) to be the single information system for the whole organisation.
Also, Forion is planning to launch a smartphone. However, in order to make it competitive they need to have high-visibility, durable screens. As the cost of screen development is considerable, it has been decided to form. a strategic alliance with a well-known screen manufacturer to provide this key component for the new smartphone. Bon Accord Screens (BAS) has been chosen as the strategic ally, as they have a strong reputation for their quality of manufacturing and new product development. BAS has been trying to break into the smartphone market for several years.
The alliance agreement has stipulated three critical areas of performance for BAS’ supply to Forion:
1. quality of manufacturing, measured by fault rates of screens supplied being within agreed tolerances (so that they fit Forion’s phone-bodies);
2. time of delivery, measured by the number of times a shipment is more than one day overdue; and
3. the ability to provide technical upgrades to the screens as the market demands.
The service level agreement (SLA) will be based on these three points and there will be financial penalties built into the agreement if BAS fails to meet these.
Required:
(a) Discuss the integration of information systems in an ERPS and how the ERPS may impact on performance management issues at Forion. (10 marks)
(b) Evaluate, from Forion’s viewpoint, the usefulness of the three critical areas in the alliance agreement for measuring the performance of BAS. (8 marks)
(c) Evaluate the relative reliability of financial and non-financial data from internal and external sources in the context of the alliance between Forion and BAS. (7 marks)
