Discuss how a development in a corporation's societal environment can affect the corporation through its task environment. 3. According to Porter, what factors determine the level of competitive intensity in an industry? Costs Among his factors that affect competitive intensity, Porter mentions a few cost-related factors. These include high fixed costs, high storage costs and low switching costs. When companies invest significantly in fixed costs, they generally compete mightily to sell enough products to cover those costs. High costs of storage prompt companies to compete to make sales quickly. When customers have free mobility to change providers it forces more intense competitive rivalry. Many Firms, Flat Market One of the more obvious reasons for high competitive intensity within an industry is more companies competing. And, the more limited the market available, the more intensely those companies have to compete. Porter noted that especially...

The humans of Earth are slowly being segregated to join either the Avengers or the Justice League. Or at least read the comics and buy the merchandise of one. But only one! Being on Team Marvel or Team DC dictates what movies and television shows you watch, what symbols you wear on your clothes, and even what you dress up as for Halloween. Every few years when a book series or book-turned-movie series temporarily takes over society, a fad is...

...Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics The DC Comics made a name for themselves in 1939 as they were then set up by Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson. During that time its company was known as National Allied by Publications. The initials for the DC Comic books was taken from the Detective Comic series. With that series became Batman. Another line of comic books, known as Action Comics, which had a new super hero named Superman. Over the years these two super heroes became very popular and still two of the most popular super heros to ever appear in comic books and that mad the way for other super heroes. The Golden age was more like a baby boom in comic books. Tones of comics are being produced for the men at war,people all over, which trippled in sales making millions. All comes to and end when the war ends. Super heros "die" when the war ends. In the 1950′s the industry was under attack. Parents of America didn't think the comics were up to standards for children. Either parents were they ripping them up, burning them, or telling thier children to sell thier comics, it was a cultural revolution. The company managed to keep it's success during that time and created some comics about westerns,romance, but it was the recreations of the super heroes which made them so successful in the comic book industry known as the Silver Age. It was during 1965 when the industry introduced a new/old super hero Flash. This character was brought back and "updated" to be placed in more present times...

...Jess Jones Persuasive Paper: Marvel vs. DC November 3, 2015 One of the most controversial topics for teenagers and adults alike is the topic of which comic brand is better, Marvel or DC? DC and Marvel fans have been at each other’s throats since the 1950’s. “The battle between DC and Marvel is eternal. First it was in the comic shop, then it was on the Internet and most recently, it’s on the big screen (Lussier).” says Tsujihara. DC characters are better because their status is more realistic and attainable, they are more popular among the children, and DC characters work hard for their strengths and powers and use them for good. There are two categories within DC: the gods, such as Wonder Woman and Superman, and the iconic underdogs, such as Batman and Green Lantern. The gods are from another planet or universe and are normally the ruler’s child. They use their powers to protect their land. The underdogs are the favorite in any story and work the hardest. They are not born with any powers, but they want to help so they make a way. The underdogs are the people we look up to and admire the most. They are good men and/or women whom we strive to be like. Everyone looks up to Bruce Wayne because he is a good guy who wants to turns the bad events in his life into profit for others. Marvel literally has no characters that work for their superhero status. People love Marvel and support it and they wonder why their children do not want to work for what they get. Children start...

...Oral Roberts University SUPERIORITY AND BLURRED LINES: An observation of the themes communicated in major DC Comics storylines Joshua Gallego Philosophy of Science HONR 102 Dr. Ken Weed/Dr. Samuel Thorpe March 13, 2014 Introduction Superheroes are part of an American upbringing. Stories of persons with capabilities that far exceed that of the human race are popular and appealing to our youth and even to many adults. Entertainment in general pervades the American culture, and this specific type of entertainment dealing with superheroes is of considerable size and has been a constant for several decades. Images of Superman, Captain America and many others are immediately recognized when seen. The entertainment value of these fictitious tales has caused the companies that own them to expand into creating computer games and producing movies, which has made them even more visible. It is considered weird if a person does not even know the basic story of these costumed figures. The adventures, stories, and even lives of these fictions have become a part of the American Psyche. Throughout the course of this semester, discussion in the Philosophy of Science class has led to topics such as the paradigms and presuppositions that we approach our world from and the metaphors that we use to communicate ideas and concepts. Such discussion has led to the asking of questions concerning things that we encounter in everyday circumstances. Questions like “What are the presuppositions...

...Krystal Gladden Professor deLauney ENG 102 05/10/16 The Masked Mask Heroes A costume is meant to mask the true identity of a hero"(2009). But what if the mask is their true identity. In the graphic novel "Watchmen" by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, Moore and Gibbons show how that a few of the vigilantes have a problem with juggling their masked persona and their every day persona. We can see a constant tug of war between who the vigilantes truly see themselves as and what is accepted in their society. We see the pull or hold that each vigilante masked persona has on them on a daily. So, we constantly see how Rorschach and Dan are battling within themselves about who they truly are. Rorschach is one of the first masked heroes we get to meet. We meet Rorschach after the death of another masked hero Edward Blake aka The Comedian. We go throughout most of the graphic novel without knowing the identity of Rorschach or his "real name". We quickly learn that Rorschach is a very black or white type of person, there is no in between with this guy. Rorschach is unapologetic too; he doesn't go by what society sees as bad or good, but off of his own judgment of right or wrong. He is also the only masked hero still fighting crime even though the Keene Act made it illegal to do so. It is not until the end of chapter 5, we get to actually see the human face behind the mask. Rorschach happens to be "The End Is Nigh" guy from earlier chapters, whom "real" name is Walter Joseph Kovacs. We learn...

...Since the beginning of the DC Extended Universe in 2013 with Man of Steel, fans have had a constant need to defend the movies they enjoyed. To say that Batman v Superman was at the center of much controversy is an understatement. However, with the release of Wonder Woman earlier this year, it seems that the films were heading in the right direction and the future for the universe looks bright. Now we have Justice League, the much anticipated union of some of the biggest names in comic book history, and it's time to see if the movie is a step forward or two steps back. Justice League follows the events of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, as Steppenwolf comes down to Earth to bring together three mysterious boxes which, when combined, can destroy our world and create a planet ripe for the coming of Darkseid. Now Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince must bring together a team to stop the coming invasion. In a way, Justice League is the conclusion to the Man of Steel trilogy, which continued in Batman v Superman, and it handles it's baggage much better than before. This movie not only has to set up three new characters, it also has to follow up to the three established heroes and it juggles it all very well. Although they...

...most powerful, is the ability to manipulate reality Zatanna. In addition, Zatanna can also read minds and erase memories of the people. As a witch, she frequently interacts with the strongest sorcerer DC, such as Doctor Fate, Madame Xanadu, and Shazam. Zatanna According to Green Arrow, Zatanna is the strongest Member of the Justice League, an opinion which is pretty reasonable if you see the power of this woman's magic. In addition must speak upside down, the power of Zatanna is almost no weak point. Although there are many witches and other supernatural practitioners, members of the Justice League are usually enlisted the help of Zatanna if faced with problems associated with magic, this indicates that the witch woman is indeed reliable. 2.

...Comic Code Authority instead by pressuring them to change the code since it was outdated. They had to change the regulations and weekend the strictness of the code. (Adkinson) This was an issue because Marvel was wanted to do good but the code outright banned drugs in anyway and form so they could not speak out against the drug issue which is terrible. This book was a major game changer for the industry because it showed that the seal of approval isn’t what has once meant now it's almost obsolete. They change the rules to make it more lenient for things like this to happen but it did not help. In 2001 Marvel broke away from the Comic Code authority and created an in-house grading system similar to the way they rate video games and in 2011 DC and Archie comics were the last two to leave the Comic Authority. The code started to become in the way for many good...

...Roger Logan Professor Garvin English 1010 Paper #3 Comic Book Boys Peter Middleton’s essay “Boys Will Be Men” begins with simple anecdotes about the relationships between boys and men of different ages. Middleton then changes his focus towards comic books, where his focus remains all the way through the rest of the paper. Circling back to his original thoughts, the focus on comic books leads to an analysis of comic books in regards to children and their development into men. In his conclusion to the essay, Middleton states, “Nevertheless, action comics for boys are certainly damaging because they offer false solutions to the difficulties of growing up which both sexes face” (Middleton 141). Often Middleton points out that the reason that little boys read such comic books is that their true role models, their fathers, are not home. So in their absence, the children latch onto the traits found inherent in the superheroes they read about. However, the newly found role models, and superheroes, do not represent that which should be portrayed to our children. Throughout many comic book series there seems to always be portrayed a sense of masculinity gone wrong or hypermasculinity. Along with others, though primarily in the comic series of both Batman and of Spiderman, this specific form of masculinity being shown to the children is expressed through a relationship between the superhero, and the law. In the end, comic books become what is essentially a display case for the extremes...

...Superman on how one struggles to understand what society wants that offer comparison to the Comedian, and how he encourages society to understand that wants are not as important as their needs. Batman and Ozymandias both show the distinction of how superhumans attempt to achieve their goals, and even acknowledging the effects, no matter good or bad, that they have on others. Rorschach and Wonder are both characters that’s setbacks allows them to force anger on wrongdoings, and how their moral codes are reflected on the character that they are. Finally, the epilogue scene written by Mark W. is a nod that even those who are powerful share human characteristics, emotionally, philosophically, and psychologically. Even characters outside of the DC universe such as Vibiana from Boxers written by Gene Luen Yang have developed the same deconstructive belief on what makes a hero tragic. In comparison to Watchmen and Kingdom Come, both novels contain characters that share their characteristics of what defines an archetype or a stereotype but ultimately it is through the patterns of characterization that draws the distinction, and it is through the graphic novel of Watchmen that dramatizes how the superhero stereotype is portrayed ("Difference Between Archetype and Stereotype."

...English II Mrs. Thompson 1A The Infamous Catwoman The fearless lady in leather black, Catwoman (Selina Kyle), was introduced in January of 1940 by Bill Finger & Bob Kane when she made her display in Batman’s The Dark Knight Rises. During the day she was an independant, everyday woman, but at night she transformed into an all black shadow of the night. It was around this time Catwoman was known as comic’s ultimate vixen because she wasn’t mutated by a radioactive spider or a mad scientist, so she had no superpowers of any kind. Despite the fact that Kyle played as both the hero and the villain, many viewed her as psychological because of her attraction for both the male and female genders. The infamous Catwoman in her nine lives encounters many ups and downs with homosexuality, crime, and popularity. Although Catwoman represents many social issues, such as women’s rights, feminism, etc, the main issue she represents is the LGBT Community (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans Community) (Romano, Mashable). During the 1940’s not everyone agreed with homosexuality, People believed it was against the word of God. As a matter of fact psychologists and psychiatrists considered homosexuality as a form of illness (American Experience, PBS). Being homosexual was uncommon and far from the norm. So when Catwoman came out as bisexual, people grew critical using words such as abominable and degenerate(Straight, The Thistle). When Catwoman had came out as Bi, she had fallen for Eiko Hasigawa - the daughter...

...Professor English 15 May 2015 Birth of the New American Gods: The Video Game God There are gods, old and new, among us and little do people know they are born by humans. The Video Game god is a new god because people spend time, money, and worship games in a new ways which allows this new god to exist. People can say it’s in the past where gods have been created through worship but the creations of these gods haven’t stop just because people just stop worshipping certain named deities, but only have been forgotten. These gods still live today and are still being created by human beings; in similar ways gods have been created in the past, but people subconsciously do it. A new god that can be seen today in our time can be the Video Game God, and this god has been created by people all over the globe. The Video Game God is a new god that people spent hours, days, even weeks on enjoying the entertainment, influences and effect the god has had on human, and what the god provides to his people. Before proving that there is a Video Game God that exists in the modern world, one needs to understand what a god truly is. After reading Neil Gaiman novel one can grasp a better understanding that religion isn’t needed for a god to exist and that, “Religions are, by definition, metaphors, after all: God is a dream, a hope, a woman, an ironist, a father, a city, a house of many rooms[…]” (Gaiman). In this part of the chapter people can understand how religion isn’t needed and is...
