...Case Study: Acorn Industries Case Study: Acorn Industries 1) Strengths of Acorn Acorn Industries, in spite of being a small organization with a single product line had strong technical capabilities, and a compelling marketing division whose core philosophy heavily relied on the importance of Voice of the customer, market research and competitive benchmarking, which was used in creating and submitting contract proposals. During the 1990’s, most companies such as Apple, Nike, McDonalds etc. were substantially dependent on the marketing departments that emphasized on face to face meetings with the customers, and employees pushing their sales numbers to increase revenue and business profits, which is similar to Acorn Industries’ approach of utilizing their marketing division to submit their proposals in order to obtain the government contracts (History: 1990s 2003). As the company was venturing into government contracts pertaining to the weapon systems and other diverse fields, it realized the significance of program management and brought in an individual with extensive knowledge and experience in the field of program management, which proved beneficial while changing the organization philosophy; and restructuring the organization and its various divisions. In order to remain competitive, profitable and maximize the return on investment, Acorn Industries continued the commercial product line which acted as a fail-safe in case of unfruitful government contracts...

...Moral dilemmas in ACORN Angela Harris Bryant & Stratton College ENG305: Advanced Research & Writing Professor Nelson March 29, 2010 Moral Dilemmas in ACORN What is the definition of ethics? The meaning of "ethics" is hard to pin down, and the Views people have about ethics are varies. Many people tend to equate ethics with their feelings, but being ethical is clearly not a matter of following one's feelings. A person following his or her feelings may recoil from doing what is right. In fact, feelings frequently deviate from what is ethical. Ethics refers to standards of conduct, standards that indicate how one should behave based on moral duties and virtues, which themselves are derived from principles of right and wrong. In order to apply this definition to practical decision making, it is necessary to specify the nature of the moral obligations considered intrinsic to ethical behavior. There are two aspects of ethics. The first aspect involves the ability to discern right from wrong and good from evil. The second involves the commitment to do what is right, good and proper. Ethics is an action concept; it is to not simply an idea think and argues about. The choices we make in life are directly influenced by our values, what we believe to be good, just, or truthful. Personal beliefs such as those listed above directly influence our actions. Consequently, our values are closely related to our morals,...

...Time is one of many human abstractions, one that is a set thing but is also always changing, or so it seems. For many people, time can go from five minutes to feeling like hours, to hours feeling like seconds. It's like the last day of school, where each second feels like it’s happening in slow motion as the hands of the clock tick during the last minute of class, Or when you’re having so much fun that you can look at a clock and suddenly 3 hours have passed and you would have never guessed. For Danni, looking back, the past 7 years spent at Camp Acorn feel as though they happened within the span of just 1 year. Years feel like days, months like hours, and days like minutes. Her perspective of time has changed and she looks back at those years with nothing but admiration and love. She began volunteering at the age of 9 when her older brother had been a camper for a full year, and her whole life has changed from then on.

...religion is portrayed. Almost exclusively, the first written stories for children featured themes of religion. Today children’s authors are cautious of adding spiritualty, unless the book is overtly directed for a religious audience. The Oak Inside the Acorn by Max Lucado and illustrated by George Angelini was published in 2011 and is directed towards young children of Christian faith. The book features glorious painted illustrations and a hefty amount of text placed in a meditated manner. The pictures are created with a slew of colors and details used to grab the reader attention. Lucado is a family man and a minister. We know this due to his many references of God and the author’s note that bluntly states, “God prewired your infant” (Lucado)....

...Early farmers picked up some fruit of wild plants to home, eat them, and spited out the bigger seeds or defecated the tiny size seeds to human latrines. And then the seeds germinated in the early lab. But the key points were how the early farmers decided to pick up which fruit? It’s not hard to make some hypothesis: Fruit size: Strawberry, early farmers went into thorny thicket amid the mosquitoes on a hot, humid day to pick up strawberry; the only criterion is the size. The early farmer would choose only bigger size ones to compensate the while to get sunburned and mosquito bitten. Bitterness: Many wild seeds evolved to be bitter, bad-tasting or even poisonous to keep human or animals away from eating them. Natural selection functioned as getting the fruit tasteful dispersed by animals and continue the process of reproducing, meanwhile if the seed remained tasteful, the animal will chew them up as well. Occasional individual almond trees have a mutation in a single gene that prevents them from synthesizing the bitter-tasting amygdalin, which breaks down to yield poison cyanide. Such trees die out in the wild, while the trees lived near humans survived by being picked up by curious children or early farmers who noticed the non-bitter fruit. Fleshiness, Oiliness and fiber length are all similar in the selection process. Initially the wild fruit had less fruit around their seeds, but early farmers chose the fruit mutated to be with more Fleshiness, less seeds, such as squashes...

...Adventures in Fugawiland Fugawiland: a land full of hardworking hunters, dedicated mothers, learning children, many animals, and lots and lots of land. Fugawiland is in between the border of Lake Superior and the Highlands. There were 25 different sites in Fugawiland, but we were only given information on 10 different sites. The areas in which the citizens of Fugawiland lived permanently were either by the shore or by a river in sites F, Y, R (shore), P, I, W, and C (river). About twice as many people lived in sites by the shoreline compared to people who lived by the river. Site F contained the largest amount of Fugawilanders, about 45 people. A way to estimate the number of people living at a site is to multiply the number of houses by five because the huts in Fugawiland likely housed 4 to 6 people-leaving the average number of people per hut at five. Sites Y and R were tied for the second to most sites with the largest amount of people living I them with about 40 people in each site. In the sites that were located closer to a river, there was much less people. Site I had the most people living there, about 25. In each of the sites by the river and shore where the people lived there were only 2-4 graves per site. Most likely, the majority of the people got buried at site X, the largest site that archaeologists dug up in all of Fugawiland, located in the plains. This is because site X contained the most amount of graves and bundle burials-19 graves and 40 bundle burials...

...Unit VII Case Study Columbia Southern University Citigroup and Subprime Lending 1. Are there moral concerns associated with subprime lending? Are those moral concerns based on utilitarianism, rights, or justice considerations? Sub-prime lending is a process of giving loans to those who otherwise would not qualify for conditional loan because of poor credit history. There is high risk involved in such loans and therefore, it is offered at high interest rates. It is risky both for the lender and the borrower. There's certainly a private responsibility with regards to a person taking on commitments that will require repaying money borrowed from a person or from an institution. A significant requirement for the borrowers’ part to understand what he or she is getting into to. However, sub-prime lending does have moral concerns. The borrowers are not qualified for regular loans, but they may need it. They are ready to take loans at higher interest rate because they need it and sub-prime lending seems to be a better option to them. The mortgage crisis in the United States was viewed as having good intended utilitarian motives by the corporate world and public policy makers to provide mortgage loans to at risk customers. Utilitarianism is defined by Velasquez (2006) as that initiative that place goodwill the behalf as many people possible. It does well to both lender and the borrower and consequently...

... The smaller houses were kind of the same except they were built with fewer poles then they placed a fire pit in the middle of the house. The main source of food amongst the yuki were salmon, deer, and acorns ( U of Chicago, 2003). Salmon could be hard to find because they lived near the upper part of the river which did no good. The water would sometimes be so low that the salmon would be stranded in little ponds ( U of Chicago, 2003). This way the men could use their spear, nets, and even their hands to catch them. Bow and arrows were used to hunt deer, and the acorns were used because it provided the mush that they used for almost every meal (E.B, 2008). Warfare was apparently common between the Yuki groups but they kept it under control, for the most part, because of their trading system (E.B, 2008). The trade system was common for the Yuki. They would trade with a group called the pomo, which is southern of them. Ocean products, beads, shells, etc., would be traded in addition to giving those furs and food (U of Chicago, 2003). Their religion was a bit different. They would have little dance houses and a leader for each one. One of the biggest ceremonies that took place was the Acorn Sing. This was aimed to please Taikomol, their creator, so that they could have more acorn crop (E.B., 2008). 2. The Athabascan culture is one I’d like to discuss next.
