...Appendix B Part I Define the following terms: Term Definition Stereotypes Unreliable, exaggerated generalizations about all members of a group that do not take individual differences into account. Prejudice A negative attitude toward an entire category of people, such as a racial or ethnic minority. Labeling theory A social theory that holds that society's reaction to certain behaviors is a major factor in defining the self as deviant. People become `deviant' because certain labels (thief, prostitute, homosexual) are attached to their behavior by criminal justice authorities and others. The resulting treatment of the individual pushes them into performing the deviant role. Also called "societal reaction" theory.

...Wise Judgment Scenario Choose one of the following scenarios and discuss how each of the five components of wise judgments can be applied to the scenario you have chosen. Then, make a decision based on the five components. Explain the rationale behind your decision. 1. A teenage girl is “in love” with her 17-year-old boyfriend. He is encouraging her to have sex with him saying that he will make sure they only have “protected” sex. 2. A man has had a difficult time finding a job that pays enough to support his family. He has finally landed the job and has been working six months. He discovers that his manager is engaging in illegal activities on the job. 3. A mother knows that her 7-year-old child has stolen a box of cookies from the store while she was grocery shopping. 4. A high school friend cheated on his college entrance exam and told you about it. Baltes and his colleagues have organized components of wise judgment into five areas. Understanding each component is important in handling the situation wisely. A seven-year-old child has stolen cookies from the grocery store. How does the mother handle the situation with her son stealing the cookies? Component one is factual knowledge. Component one consists of knowing characteristics and traits shared by humans, how they relate to other people and what is normal behavior. The component helps the mother conclude that stealing cookies is not normal behavior or a characteristic for all children. Stealing is a punishable...

...of Mobile App Stores: There is more than Open vs. Closed Roland M. Müller1, Bjorn Kijl2 and Josef K. J. Martens3 1 Berlin School of Economics and Law, Department of Information Systems, roland.mueller@hwr-berlin.deUniversity of Twente, School of Management and Governance, 2 b.kijl@utwente.nl, 3j.k.j.martens@alumnus.utwente.nl Abstract The purpose of this paper is to analyze the competition among mobile app stores for smart mobile media devices. Therefore, the business models of seven mobile app stores are analyzed with a special focus on Apple and Google. We use e3-value modelling - a formal business modelling technique - for analyzing the critical elements of these mobile ecosystems. The analysis of the app store ecosystems allows a differentiated view on the different strategies of the app store owners. Additionally, we look at the impact of network effects, economies of scale, platform differentiation, quality assurance, and transaction costs on the design of mobile application markets. This theoretical model allows a deeper discussion about the design choices and success factors in the different app store cases. Based on our analysis, we expect that the open versus closed models discussion becomes less relevant - so-called open platforms have closed aspects as well as the other way around - and that competitive differentiation and segmentation strategies will become increasingly critical in order to strengthen the competitive positioning of the different app store platforms...

...to develop an edge over rival firms can use this model to better understand the industry context in which the firm operates. (2) Rivalry is medium (a)Small number of companies develop operating systems (Nokia, RIM, Google, Apple) but more companies develop hardware. (b)Smartphones are highly perishable products that depreciates quickly in the market. Producers need to sell quickly, which intensifies rivalry. (c)The industry is still growing. Threats of Substitutes is high (a) While brands differentiate between different Smartphones to an extent, Smartphones in the same price range have mostly the same functions. Buyer Power is medium to weak (a)Weak: buyers are not concentrated and can not influence the price. (b)Medium: Buyers can purchase from a rival, but a rival will not necessarily present the buyer with better incentives or prices. (c)Weak: Some producers’ influences extend to their distribution channels. An example is Apple’s stores. Supplier Power (a) Omitted due to word count limitations Threats of New Entrants is low (a)Diffcult to enter: Smartphone production involves many patents and proprietary knowledge.

...APPLE, INC. CASE ANALYSIS Written by: Jessica A. Mahfoudi AMBA 640 Dr. Larry Williams University of Maryland University College February 25, 2013 This page is intentionally blank EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Management Information Systems allow companies to remain competitive in today’s fast-paced world and especially when conducting business on the Internet. Organizations must adapt to technological advances and innovations to keep pace with today’s rapidly changing environment (Baltzan, 2012). Every day there is some type of new technology, new internet site, new software or hardware program that someone is learning how to use. Apple, being a major technology company needs to keep up with these advances to keep their customers happy. This paper focuses on Apple, Inc., its competitive advantage and the challenges Apple faces to stay in the top of consumer reports. Data, information, business intelligence and knowledge are discussed and how they are relevant to the production of Apple products. Knowledge cannot be acquired until data, information and business intelligence are researched. The paper then goes on to discuss Porter’s Five Forces Model and how it is applied to Apple, Inc. and its products. Apple has lowered the threat of substitute products by including a great variety of features on all of their products. Since the original iPhone's release about four years ago, the threat of substitute products or services has greatly decreased...

...field issue to every soldier, complete with combat-focused applications [1]. However, smartphones and tablets raise new security issues. They are more likely to be lost or stolen, exposing sensitive data. Malware risks are increased because they connect to the Internet directly rather than from behind corporate firewalls and intrusion-protection systems. Security of mobile devices focuses on controlling access through the use of device locks and hardware data encryption. While this may be sufficient for individual users, it is insufficient for defense needs. Many documented examples exist of hacking of the device lock, as well as defeats of the hardware-level encryption. Once the device is unlocked, there is generally unfettered access to all apps and their associated data. Military applications require additional application-level access controls to provide data security. Unfortunately, there are gaps in the application-level security model of the two predominant mobile operating systems: iOS from Apple and Google Android. Our ongoing research1 looks to address these gaps by developing innovative approaches for fine-grained data protection and access control, taking into account mobile device usage patterns, device characteristics, and usability. Mobile Applications Security Threat Vectors Many threat vectors for infecting personal computers arise from social-engineering attacks that bypass anti-virus defenses. Similar techniques are used in the smartphone and tablet world...

...STRATEGIC MARKETING MANAGMENT BUSI 520 TASK: Individual Submission Week 3 CULTURAL FACTORS DEFINED Cultural factors have a major influence in what merchandise consumers purchases. In order to understand this clearer, one needs to take a closer look at the definition of culture. According to Kotler and Keller (2012), “Culture is the fundamental determinant of a person’s wants and behavior”. In other words, culture is the deciding factor that guides the choices of the consumer. One product which many consumers purchase is the iPad. Sales, of this advanced version of a tablet computer, are steadily increasing. According to Bray, Palazzolo and Sherr from (2013), the iPhone and iPad are in fact the two top selling products of the Apple company. The iPad, just before its unveiling, was surrounded by so much enthusiasm. As stated by Furfie(2010), “The Wall Street Journal joked that ‘the last time there was this much excitement about a tablet, it had some commandments written on it’”. As funny as this may sound, other tablets don’t come close to competing with this product. The iPad has a stake in our culture and it is here to stay! An astute observer may ask, why do so many consumers gravitate towards iPad as opposed to another similar product in the marketplace today? Furthermore, the enthusiasm and general demand for the iPad seems to overshadow the competitor’s products. Kotler and Keller conclude that the geographic region has a direct influence on the products available...

Reason to Listen: You may not realize it, but, even if you have never created a Vine account, this popular social media app has impacted you, and your social media experience. C. Speaker Credibility: Vine is a huge network with 40 million registered users, hitting number one spots on app stores, and changing the way we think about video sharing online forever (Blagdon, 2013). D. Thesis Statement: Vine, a form of social media, has inevitably altered the way we communicate, and has played a big role in creating our virtual world. E. Preview: Today we will discuss, first F. G. H. I. J. , the history of vine. Then we will touch on how vine has become a global phenomenon, leading to famous social trends, setting new social media standards, and even becoming a health detriment to some. II. Body A. In June 2012, three men, Dom Hofmann, Rus Yusupov, and Colin Kroll, founded Vine. Based out of New York, Vine was a simple three-man company just trying to decide what the time length on their videos should be (Olanoff, 2013). Fortunately for them, Twitter saw value in Vine before it even launched. On October 9, 2012 Vine was purchased by Twitter, and was soon released on the iOS app store, January 24, 2013. By April 8, 2013 Vine was number one...
