...The Sustainable SCM of Wal-Mart Group Work - Fall 2013 Global Supply Chain Management Common Assumptions • The categories chosen are Seafood and Electronics. • The market considered into the analysis is the U.S. market. • Every change in the supply chain has to be considered in a sustainable and profitable perspective. • The suppliers that are not compliant with Wal-Mart’s directive on sustainability are substituted after a short-medium time. • A Central Warehouse in the U.S. is not considered for both chains, because we assume that a system of cross docking takes care of the incoming goods from the arrival point in the U.S.A. if the good is imported. • We consider in the U.S.A territory five central warehouse that have a direct contact with all the Wall-Mart stores according to their geographical position. Seafood supply chain Electronic supply chain Assumptions The assumptions needed in order to analyze the seafood supply chain for Wal-Mart are the following: Our import market is the USA market and the export is the Thai one. Thailand, in fact, is one of the major exporter of the seafood category that we will consider: salmon. Wal-Mart fishes demand is similar to the American demand composition in terms of the quantity and the quality of the products. In our analysis we will consider as “producers” (first level of the supply chain) only the fishermen and not the fish farmers We considered only pre-frozen fish, that will be sold...

...Introduction: The term Green Marketing came into prominence in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The American Marketing Association (AMA) held the first workshop on "Ecological Marketing" in 1975. The proceedings of this workshop resulted in one of the first books on green marketing entitled "Ecological Marketing". Green marketing is the marketing of products that are presumed to be environmentally safe. Thus green marketing incorporates a broad range of activities, including product modification, changes to the production process, packaging changes, as well as modifying advertising. Yet defining green marketing is not a simple task where several meanings intersect and contradict each other; an example of this will be the existence of varying social, environmental and retail definitions attached to this term. Other similar terms used are environmental marketing and ecological marketing. Entrepreneurs and Green Marketing: There is a new bottom line for business. Besides measuring financial success, companies are increasingly taking account of environmental and social performance - the so-called 'triple bottom line'. Entrepreneurs with a keen business sense and a desire to make the world a better place will reap the rewards. In response to environmental and regulatory pressures, technology is advancing rapidly. To keep abreast of changes and to identify potential markets, entrepreneurs need to: * Follow trends in regulations and standards, which can create or destroy markets...

...1. Case study - Women on the Right Track at CP Rail Women comprise nearly half of Canada's workforce, but over the last two decades, they have made no progress in obtaining senior management roles. This lack of success may deter younger women from entering certain professions and from learning from role models. Furthermore, research shows that a lack of diversity can affect retention, productivity, and innovation. Companies with more female senior managers have a higher return on equity than those with lower rates of female senior managers. With this research in mind, CP Rail undertook three initiatives to increase the number of women managers: * Each department must have diversity goals. * Mentoring programs for females have been established. * Senior women discuss their careers in forums. * Women on Track offers networking opportunities. To date, the program has been successful, with the number of women in senior management doubling over 5 years. Questions 1. Compare CP Rail’s initiatives to advance women with the recommended six-step program for the implementation of employment equity. 2. Review the list in Highlights in HRM 3.1 (retention strategies). What more could CP Rail undertake? Here is Highlight H.R.M 3.1 ( retention strategies ) see bellow. 2.

It was an SS Nazi slogan, now used by today's family courts to determine custody: It is also... the prime directive of all Child Protection Services. “Justice denied anywhere, diminishes justice everywhere.” Martin Luther King, Jr. _______________________________________________________ Nicolas Stathopoulos [SSEC] Social Service Economic Crimes (research) Social service crimes research SSEC (research) © Copyright 2011 The Lebensborn program was a Nazi organizational project set up by SS leader Heinrich Himmler, which provided, managed and ran orphanages, social service centers and relocation programs for children. Lebensborn, for all intent and purpose, was designed to become a human breeding program. "In the best interest of the child, we are breeding superior Aryan children" (SS Nazi chant) The Lebensborn program, was founded and created on December 12, 1935, to promote the policies of Nazi eugenics among other interests. One, of the objectives was to perpetrate, an illusion of superiority (of the Aryan race) over all other inferior races. Some of the ideas used to create the Lebensborn program were extensions...

...Alvaro M. Alegre Professor Russell Green Composition II Free-range parenting: What is so bad about it? Even though the fear of kidnapping when kids are left alone is present on many parents the benefits of allowing children to work and play independently builds confidence and skills. Kids take risks naturally (climbing to the top of a monkey bar, jumping out of the stairs) despite the potential of failure because they want to grasp new skills and becoming more mature and responsible of their own actions. When I was a kid growing up in Peru I remember every single kid in my neighborhood would be at the park jumping and running around. I even remember going with my buddies to the local store that was about 10 block away of our houses. It is just the way you grew up over there. Yes, you see some parents at the park watching out for their kids too but that was usually to the facts that the kids were too small or have no older siblings to watch for them. That is why when I move to the suburbs of Virginia, at the age of 17, surprised me to see all the parks and streets deserted, no kids playing ball or running around. When I start doing my research for this project I learned a lot about the way people see this “free-range” parenting. I think that just putting labels it’s problematic, like Ruth Paris, a professor at Boston University’s School of Social Work, said “generally speaking, parents should make decisions based on their family dynamics, not because they subscribe to...

...Nuclear phase out On March 11th the most fatal earthquake in Japan’s history hit the country followed by a devastating Tsunami. Besides the immediate destruction caused by those natural disasters they triggered a fatal chain reaction leading to a partial meltdown (a complete meltdown was not confirmed so far but is not unlikely) in three reactors of the nuclear power plant Fukushima Daiichi. In Germany those events have caused a new uprising of the anti-nuclear-movement. Most people in Germany are in favour of a quick nuclear phase-out and the big political parties have very quickly adapted this opinion. The big question remaining is how to handle a project of such a huge size without causing financial, climate related or other threats. In the following work the current situation will be analysed and viewed as a change process containing the following steps: • • • • • • • • Step 1: Create a sense of urgency Step 2: Form a powerful coalition Step 3: Create a vision for change Step 4: Communicate the vision Step 5: Remove obstacles Step 6: Create short-term wins Step 7: Extending the success Step 8: Anchor new approaches Step 1: Create a Sense of Urgency First of all the awareness of a need for change should be created, increased and communicated. “With this shift, urgency will move from being an important issue every few years to being a powerful asset all the time.”1 In the history and the development of nuclear power and the nuclear power plants there have been many different...

...Statistics about domestic violence Incidence and prevalence of domestic violence: General There are no reliable national data on the general incidence of domestic violence in the UK1. In 2011/12, 7.3% women (1.2 million) and 5% men (800,000) report having experienced domestic abuse2. 31% women and 18% men have experienced domestic abuse since the age of 16 years. This amounts to 5 million women and 2.9 million men3. Domestic violence has repeatedly been identified as a major factor leading to death in or related to pregnancy and childbirth: see below. In 2011/12, the police reported nearly 800,000 incidents of domestic violence4. Domestic violence accounts for 10% of emergency calls5. Domestic violence has consistently accounted for between 16% and one quarter of all recorded violent crime6. There has been a 65% increase in number of domestic violence prosecutions between 2005/6 and 2010/11 and a corresponding 99% increase in number of defendents convicted7. Despite this, domestic violence conviction rates in the five years to 2011 stood at just 6.5% of incidents reported to police – though a much higher proportion of around 70% of those charged8. Women are much more likely than men to be the victim of multiple incidents of abuse, of different types of domestic abuse (partner abuse, family abuse, sexual assault and stalking) and in particular of sexual violence9. Hester, 2008. Office for National Statistics (ONS), 2013. 3 This is a smaller proportion...

...American Political Science Review Vol. 106, No. 2 May 2012 doi:10.1017/S0003055412000093 The Missionary Roots of Liberal Democracy ROBERT D. WOODBERRY National University of Singapore T his article demonstrates historically and statistically that conversionary Protestants (CPs) heavily influenced the rise and spread of stable democracy around the world. It argues that CPs were a crucial catalyst initiating the development and spread of religious liberty, mass education, mass printing, newspapers, voluntary organizations, and colonial reforms, thereby creating the conditions that made stable democracy more likely. Statistically, the historic prevalence of Protestant missionaries explains about half the variation in democracy in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania and removes the impact of most variables that dominate current statistical research about democracy. The association between Protestant missions and democracy is consistent in different continents and subsamples, and it is robust to more than 50 controls and to instrumental variable analyses. ocial scientists tend to ignore religion in the processes of post-Enlightenment modernization. In individual cases and events, the role of religious actors is clear—especially in the primary documents. Yet in broad histories and comparative analyses, religious groups are pushed to the periphery, only to pop out like a jack-in-the-box from time to time to surprise and scare people and then shrink...
