...The 9/11 memorial consists of two enormous reflecting pools that sit in the very footprints of where the Twin Towers once stood. A cascade of water falls from each wall and into the pools in a continuous stream. The pools are surrounded by bronze panels that are inscribed with the names of the nearly three thousand people who died in the attacks of 2001 and the World Trade Center bombing of 1993. Each of these components highlight the gigantic void that resulted from the attack. That is, they symbolize devastating loss. Encompassing the memorial is the memorial plaza. The surface of the plaza is decorated by a forest of swamp white oak trees. One tree, however, is different. It is a callery pear tree, now known as the, “Survivor Tree”. This tree was at the site on September 11, 2001. It was discovered in a pile of debris, nursed back to health, and returned back to the site. This is meant to represent...

...is a fast growing trend.Also, people crave for authentic food, whatever the cuisine may be. US is a land of immigrants. With different people come different cuisine. And it is difficult for people to have any authentic cuisine if they aren’t certified chefs to validate such food. Customers appreciate the fact that the food they are served is as good as it can get and is made by a certified chef. A restaurant ready to exploit this diverse demand of customers’ .i.e.: different authentic cuisines at one place will have unique product differentiator and a unique market stand as well. Manhattan is increasingly becoming a tourist destination. Especially a restaurant at Financial District will increasingly see an influx of customers. With 9/11 memorial and other significant places such as South Street Seaport Historic District, the New York City Police Museum, and Museum of American Finance, made Manhattan see some of the highest number of tourists in last few years. Also given the fact that Financial District is a financial hub, with multiple multi-national offices, we see our business to reach a break-even point in 5 yrs. And, we have been very conservative with our business model, considering every aspect of our business model and revenue on National Average statistics. Finally, the creation of a unique and innovative fine dining atmosphere will differentiate us from the competition. The restaurant will stand out from the other restaurants in the area...

...Heart Surgery at Cabarrus Memorial Hospital Situation It was a clear, crisp October morning in Concord, North Carolina. The board of trustees of Cabarrus Memorial Hospital gathered in the windowless, walnut paneled boardroom for its monthly meet- ing (see Exhibit 19/1 for board members). Board chairman George Batte opened the meeting saying, “Because we do not have an open heart surgery program, patients needing open heart surgery or coronary angioplasty have to be transferred to another hospi- tal, causing inconvenience to the patient’s families and risks from delayed treatment. There are several questions we have to answer in addressing this issue. Should we add open heart surgery to the mix of cardiac services we offer? Does the hospital’s existing service area provide adequate patient volumes to support the program? What This case was written by Fred H. Campbell, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and Darise D. Caldwell, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Northeast Medical Center.

Being debt free and dependent on inner city residents, the board of trustees authorized PMH to expand operations by adding an ambulatory facility in the downtown area ten blocks north of the hospital. Being open for 11 months now, Puce Health Clinic (PHC) has seen success by becoming self sufficient, increasing cliental, reducing bad debts by 2 % and minimizing the increase in their expenses. Sherri Worth, Assistant Administrator of PMH, has recognized a potential threat that could hurt their facility. Medcenter, a possible competitor, has been proposing to develop their own facility overlapping in service areas with PHC. This threat has the potential to take a third of PHC’s northern portion of personal illness patients and also 40% of potential personal illness patients in this area will go to the new location. After speaking to her boss Roger Mahon...

Becker was one of the first economists to branch into what were traditionally considered topics belonging to sociology, including racial discrimination, crime, family organization, and drug addiction (see rational addiction). He was known for arguing that many different types of human behavior can be seen as rational and utility maximizing. His approach included altruistic behavior of human behavior by defining individuals' utility appropriately. He was also among the foremost exponents of the study of human capital. Becker was also credited with the "rotten kid theorem."
