Laws are basically ethics that have been adopted by a governing body of some sort (government, company, etc). 2.) Civil law is a set of laws that are created by a governing body for its own regulation. They are used in order to keep its citizens safe. 3.)

...1. Based on your experience as a coffee consumer, does Starbucks’ strategy as described in Concept & Connections 1.2 seem to set the company apart from rivals? Does the strategy seem to be keyed to a cost-based advantage, differentiating features, serving the unique needs of a niche, or some combination of these? What is there about Starbucks’ strategy that can lead to sustainable competitive advantage? Answer: I have to be honest I like my coffee but I don’t get why people are so fascinated with paying so much for coffee. That being said I will say that Starbuck definitely has set itself apart from its competitors. I know people whose day is just ruined if they don’t have their Starbucks coffee in the morning. I guess the reason they enjoy and like Starbucks is because Starbucks has quality products, with guidelines so detailed that they outline how much time it should take for their coffee to be prepared. I believe Starbucks uses a broad differentiation strategy because it focuses on a broader segment of the total coffee market. Starbucks strategy of continuing to grow their brand globally by increasing store locations in other countries and in the U.S coupled with offering non coffee products should allow them to sustain a substantial competitive advantage over its competition. 3. Elements of eBay’s strategy have evolved in meaningful ways since the company’s founding in 1995. After reviewing all of the links at the company’s investor relations site, which can be...

...Week 1 Homework Assignment: Chapters 1 Questions 4 and 7 Cruz A. Morin II Devry University Chapter 1 4. Why does word – of – mouth “advertising” work so effectively? Word – of – mouth advertising works of effectively because it is the simplest way to advertise. When people receive either excellent service or a good deal on a product they will talk about to everyone they know. Companies know this really well and want to ensure that is what is delivered to each customer weather it is a new customer or someone that has been a customer for a long time. Every company wants positive word – of – mouth advertising because it is free to them. The other way that word – of – mouth advertising is being updated now is with the use of social media by everyone. Besides regular social media sites you also have review sites that people post both good and bad reviews on (ex. YELP). 7. What do we mean by an “engaged” customer, and how does this relate to customer loyalty? An “engaged” customer is someone who feels that they have an emotional tie to the company that they are doing business with. Most companies will use loyalty programs to in a way entice customers to keep returning. When extremely satisfied customers have been asked if they felt an emotional tie and many said no. If a company wants to truly rise the level of customer loyalty they have to increase the emotional tie in that each customer fills and at the end of the day if there is no tie in with the emotions then...

...Harrison Jackson Excerpt comparing laptop and desktop computers: A laptop and desktop computer differ in both size and functionality. A laptop is much smaller and therefore often more convenient to use. A desktop computer is much larger, and tends to last much longer than a laptop before it needs to be repaired or replaced. A laptop is often a self-contained unit, and no additional parts are needed to run it. Users often have to purchase monitors and other accessories to operate a desktop computer. There is little to no difference in the types of software that can be run on each type of computer. The size is the most noticeable difference between a laptop and desktop computer. A laptop is a single machine with the hard drive, disk drive, monitor, wireless modem, keyboard and mouse contained within it, and it easily folds to be stored in a carrying case. The only additional accessory that is often needed is a power cable with an adapter attached to it. A desktop computer consists of a tower, which is a large rectangular box. The hardware for the computer system is contained in the box. An external monitor, keyboard, mouse and wireless router often need to be attached to a PC in order to fully operate it. The way in which a laptop and desktop computer system are powered is another difference. A laptop runs on a rechargeable battery. The user often has to plug the laptop into a power source in order to recharge the battery. The laptop can only be used until the battery runs...

...Assignment #1 Chapter 8 Case: Whole Food BUS 322 Bachelor of Business Administrations Strayer University Discuss how the basic interpersonal communication model that is presented in Figure 8.1 can be applied to the interpersonal nature of an online forum. The interpersonal communication model in figure 8.1 illustrates the key elements of interpersonal communication: the communicator, the receiver, the perceptual screens, and the message. Last month I received an overseas phone call from an ole buddy of mines. He and his family are stationed in Germany. Our phone connection was very bad. I bet we got disconnected at least a dozen times. I think everybody’s had that happen to them during a phone call. It’s the reason Verizon did their “Can you hear me now” campaign. When my phone drop that call, I knew it right then and there. I was annoyed, frustrated, and angry. Have you ever thought about why you don’t react the you do when you get disconnected? Being disconnected wasted my time. It interrupts the flow of what I was trying to accomplish, and it undermines my productivity. The bottom line is that connecting is everything when it comes to communication. In an online forum the communicator, the person originating the message still delivers the correspondences, which could be simple text, instant message or an email. I am convinced more than ever that good communication and leadership are all about connecting. According to John C. Maxwell...

...Unit 2 Assignment 1: Chapter Review and TRACE 1. The five elements in the rhetorical situation are text, reader, author, constraints, and exigence. 2. A reader can use the rhetorical situation to analyze an argument essay by analyzing what the author is arguing about and who his target readers are. A viewer can use the rhetorical situation to analyze an image by first analyzing what the image’s meaning is, and who the targeted viewer is. A writer can use the rhetorical situation during the planning phase of writing a paper by deciding who is target readers will be and the position it may take on the topic. 3. The audience is important in argument because without the audience you have no argument. The different positions that the audience might initially hold are a friendly, an undecided, a neutral, a resistant, an unfamiliar, or a linked audience. There are multiple outcomes that are associated with arguments directed to each of these audiences, these outcomes include, a bias, they may oppose your argument, or they may agree with your argument. 4. Discourse communities are defined as groups that are involved in and communicating about a particular topic, or issue. The reason a discourse community is helpful to establish common ground for its members is because they share a set of basic values and assumptions. 5. A universal audience is an imagined audience that serves as an ethical and argumentative test for the rhetor. A universal audience is a useful idea...

Core does not have a GUI (Graphical User Interface). All execution of commands will have to be handled through the CLI (Command Line Interface). The advantages of using Core as a qualified systems Admin, is that “Powershell” helps to illustrate and execute easier commands, and manage and configure. Since Core does not offer a GUI, making the system optimal in its performance, less reliant on unused resources, stable, and more secure. Basically, reducing attack surfaces because there are less targeted services to attack. In addition, Microsoft has developed one of the most secure Operating Systems. Roles such as DNS, DHCP, RDS and more can be managed through the CLI, making it less intrusive. Also, there are fewer “hot Fixes” of Roles and Services that are not in use, and less memory and HDD requirements. The Disadvantages of Server Core, besides No GUI, is that you have limited amount of server roles and features. And, it does not support...
