...An Alpine Divorce by Robert Barr In some natures there are no half-tones; nothing but raw primary colours. John Bodman was a man who was always at one extreme or the other. This probably would have mattered little had he not married a wife whose nature was an exact duplicate of his own. Doubtless there exists in this world precisely the right woman for any given man to marry and vice versa; but when you consider that a human being has the opportunity of being acquainted with only a few hundred people, and out of the few hundred that there are but a dozen or less whom he knows intimately, and out of the dozen, one or two friends at most, it will easily be seen, when we remember the number of millions who inhabit this world, that probably, since the earth was created, the right man has never yet met the right woman. The mathematical chances are all against such a meeting, and this is the reason that divorce courts exist. Marriage at best is but a compromise, and if two people happen to be united who are of an uncompromising nature there is trouble. In the lives of these two young people there was no middle distance. The result was bound to be either love or hate, and in the case of Mr. and Mrs. Bodman it was hate of the most bitter and arrogant kind. In some parts of the world incompatibility of temper is considered a just cause for obtaining a divorce, but in England no such subtle distinction is made, and so until the wife became criminal, or the man became both criminal...

...Business Case Analysis Wael M. Zaoud MGT 521 May 28, 2012 Clance Doelling MBA, BSME Business Case Analysis Executive Summary The third week assignment examines The Boeing Company (BA) strategic initiatives taken in relative to the organization and operation adaptation to the developing competitive environment. Boeing operates as a global company and facing tough competition recently from Airbus, Lockheed Martin, EADS, Northrop Grumman, etc. Politics, finance, economy, and resources (to name a few) impact the global market in which Boeing operates. As a result, Boeing needs to constantly evaluate its global strategy and the tactics it uses to capture the market and maintain growth. Economic Trends Recent global events, including regional political turmoil, natural disasters, and debt crises, have affected global economic growth. While global growth is expected to recover, the risk of persistent high oil prices and debt contagion could have lasting effects on the economy (The Boeing Company, n.d.). Economic growth also could be affected by slowing trade liberalization in some regions. Reduced liberalization could prolong the recovery period, affecting the demand for air travel and new airplanes. Though recent data indicates that the global economy continues to recover, the pace of the recovery in 2011 has moderated compared to 2010. High oil prices, natural disasters (Japan earthquake) and resulting consequences in a politically unrest Middle East area pose as primary...

...do this, what happens if I fail, how do I juggle my personal responsibilities, will this degree even matter? Now there are credible fears and ludcrious fears in life and for me all these fears boil down to the fear of failure- I don’t want to go through all this hardship and end up flat on my face. I even would go as far to say that most of my early life’s disillusionment stemmed from this fear. Rather than try I would just be critical of those who did. Taking my education and viewing it as a life enhancement will help me during the times of struggle towards my degree. Ultimately, whether or not this gets me a better paying job, the tools I learn here will help me in all the endeavors of my life. Taking this approach will impact the outlook when life wont work how I think it should based on what I’ve done. The question now is, understanding the challenges I face, how will I take responsibility of my success? As I’ve alluded to before, the first step is to transform the way I think. It will do me no good when the struggles arise if I look at college with resentment. I must see this as value added. For me, when things are a positive, it makes it easier to handle the bad that always come along with it. The follow through with this will be the pratical application of this mindset. Some of these would be to prioritize my time and make the most of it when I have it. In conclusion, I find that life is a summation of choices and whatever has happened in your life, you can choose...

...Finding the Right Location: Four Dimensions of Successful Foreign Direct Investment. Airbus Assembly Line – Mobile, Alabama Overview With the announcement earlier this year by Airbus that it plans to invest $600 million to build jetliners in Mobile, Alabama, the Southeast U.S is well positioned to attract foreign direct investment and U.S suppliers to the region. Central to the supply chain discussion are location strategies that optimize the value chain, drive innovation through the involvement of education and academia in proximity/joint working relationships and provide flexibility for adapting to business change. Location decisions such as these are special events that require careful attention to many conflicting strategic, operational, financial and intangible factors that can set the stage for either great success or fantastic failures. these issues will be one of the biggest challenges facing the industry in the coming years. This whitepaper explores the key drivers impacting the aerospace industry, the process for developing a comprehensive location strategy in response to industry expansion, and these critical locations factors that lead to location strategy success in the Southeast U.S.: Global commercial aircraft orders have increased six percent in 2011, with accelerating demand for new, more fuel efficient and technologically advanced aircraft.

...Financial Management Case - Boeing 7E7 1. Background 1.1 General introduction of Boeing Boeing is the world's largest aerospace company and leading manufacturer of commercial jetliners and defense, space and security systems. Boeing is organized into two business units: Boeing Commercial Airplanes and Boeing Defense, Space & Security. According to Boeing’s 2002 Annual Report, the revenues split between its commercial airplanes division and its integrated defense systems division is about 50/50. Boeing has been the premier manufacturer of commercial jetliners for more than 40 years. Today, the main commercial products are the 737, 747, 767 and 777 families of airplanes and the Boeing Business Jet. New product development efforts are focused on the Boeing 7E7. 1.2 Basic information of Boeing 7E7 Boeing 7E7 was expected to enter service in 2008 with three versions: a baseline model with 200 seats and a range of 7,800 nautical miles; a lighter version with a 3,500 nautical-mile range; and a stretch version with 250 seats and a 8,300 nautical-mile range. The 7E7 is intended to replace the 757, 767 and A300 and even the successful A330. This is why Boeing has a lot of opportunities in this market segment. With almost every U.S. major airline operating a large fleet of 757/767 aircraft, this will be the main target market for Boeing's 7E7. American Airlines, Delta Airlines and United Airlines may all be the customers we want to pay attention to. American Airlines also operates...

...demand for new aircraft or commercial airplanes that are more fuel-efficient. In addition, the rising fuel prices have taken a big effect on the economy. As fuel prices affect consumer goods and spending, leisure travel is expected to decrease, thus affecting the airline industry's bottom line. Furthermore, since the economy has gradually moved into a recession from the effects of rising fuel prices, many airlines that are struggling to stay out of bankruptcy, are looking for more ways to become cost effective. Thus, further fueling the demand for new commercial aircrafts to become more fuelefficient (2007 Annual Report). In order to save on costs so that Boeing can provide lower prices to its customers, Boeing and its competitor, Airbus, have both turned to outsourcing. Outsourcing has allowed Boeing to become more competitive. Furthermore, the option of outsourcing also allows Boeing to share risks and focus on their relationship with marketing and suppliers. However there is a down side when Boeing decided to outsource. Engineers feel that outsourcing is not a great idea for the company (Hit, Ireland and Hoskisson: 52). One of the reasons why engineers are against outsourcing is because they feel that their job is at stake...

...Ethics At Airbus 1) In each of the cases described above who benefits and who suffers from the alleged ethical and legal lapses of Airbus? Ans – When we observe across cases, its mostly the state and the airline company who is at loss due to these legal and ethical lapses Airbus – Sabena Case: As long as Van Espen’s case does not prove anything against any party, Airbus has gained significantly from the deal as it would have earned around $5bn order from the deal. The party which suffered significant loss should be the state as the Belgian government had 50.5% stake KAC – Airbus: Airbus gained a much needed order bill of around $1.1bn and possible order of $0.9bn, the employees of KAC Mr Al Mishari and its subsidiary ALAFCO, Dr. Mallalah & Mr El Fekih possibly would have earned (only a possibility) whereas the state of Kuwait higher costs, lost cash, earned higher depreciation costs and probably had to write-off it off India Inc. & Airbus: Airbus like all other cases earned the order book despite Boeing offered a deal to the Indian government $140mn cheaper. The state and eventually the airline paid $140mn more, raising its depreciation costs, debt service costs and got hold of carriers which were not properly tested thus risking the life of passengers Across cases observed, Airbus has been smart enough to save itself a persecution almost anywhere and has got large order books worth billions of dollars acquiring half of the market share but if Airbus is found...
