...BUSI 4940 Business Policy Enterprise Holdings, Inc. Individual Case Assignment Student Shonethia M. Cooper March 25, 2013 Enterprise Rent-a-Car Company is a privately owned, internationally recognized brand that was founded in 1957, by Jack C. Taylor. Taylor was born and raised in St. Louis, MO. After graduating high school in 1940, Taylor enrolled in Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis. Between 1942-1945, Taylor began to serve in the United States Navy as a pilot of an F6F Hellcat fighter from the decks of the USS Essex (CV-9) and the USS Enterprise (CV-6). With hard work and dedication, he eventually became known as a high-ranking, distinguished lieutenant. In 1957, Jack had an idea that would come to be known, internationally, as the leading provider in the rental car industry. Following WWII, Taylor started a small trucking business. Shortly after, he decided to seek employment at Arthur Lindberg’s Cadillac Distributorship, a local car sales lot. By 1957, Taylor was very successful at Lindberg’s, where he quickly became the sales manager. Soon after, he approached his executive officer about a vision about starting an automobile leasing company. After explaining the details to his overseer, and convincing them of the potential market that they could enter, Lindburg quickly began to aid Taylor in establishing Executive Leasing in the basement of Arthur Lindburg. Jack Taylor began his dream with seven rental...

...Identifying and Managing Stakeholders Successful implementation of any organizations project depends mainly on involving the support of the stakeholders. Stakeholders are individuals (customer, patient, sponsors, vendors, and employees) or organizations that have a vested interest in the success of the business (Corporation for National and Community Service, n.d.). Without stakeholders support IT projects can run into many problems that can result in failure (eHealth Initiative (EHI), n.d.). When stakeholders are allowed to have input from the project start, then the project can be implemented more efficiently (EHI, n.d.). There are many different stakeholders with unique role that ensure the organizations project success (Wager, Lee, & Glaser, 2010). Stakeholders Before the initiation of any project, it is critical to identify those individual that will be most impacted by the project (Corporation for National and Community Service, n.d.). There are many stakeholders within a health care organization that must work towards one shared goal (Abbot, 2013). Key stakeholders in a health organization are consumers/patients, providers, clinical managers and senior leadership just to name a few (HRSA, n.d.). It is also important for each stakeholder to know their roles and responsibilities, how the system will affect them, and the benefit offered (HRSA, n.d.).

...systems. The development in information technology has led to a significant change in the health care system all over the world, it has led to providing better health care for patients and it has also helped in achieving health equity. Integrating information technology into the health care system has made electronic health information (EHI) possible. Electronic health information is the recording and storing of patients’ data to facilitate and improve health care delivery and to allow analysis of this information for health care practitioners and health government agencies or health related bodies. These data are used for the implementation of policies to deliver better health care services. The role of information technology cannot be overemphasized in the health care system because it does not just help provide accurate patient record, it also helps medical practitioners better understand patients’ medical history. Health information system and technology help in having a comprehensive, error-free, up-to-date patient history empowers doctors to treat ailments accurately, it also prevents over prescription, which could be fatal. Without EHI, medical practitioners would have to rely on personal health information which traditionally was based on the memory of the patient, which could be inaccurate and paper-based, which could be time consuming and would ultimately lead to inaccurate medical history. Inaccurate medical history could lead to inaccurate diagnosis, treatment and...

...On Today, I will be speaking on the topic, “what the Bible says about forgiveness.” Joseph was a man called by God who would be used greatly by God causing showers of blessings to flow apon Joseph and his family. This is what his purpose in life was. However, Joseph had to face adversity, be isolated,….Joseph was the oldest son of Judah and because \forgiveness can help that yoke of bondage to break off..forgivinrdss will open up ones ear and heart to receive the word, which Is God, Forgiveness can change a persons mind, Forgiveness is important in this christian walk because that is one of manu major attributes that sets us apart from the world, yes for giveness because when someone does you wrong and others know about it they look to see how you will respond if you say you are a christian. So the best way to lets Gods light shine in our lives is continue to serve him, seek to please him and the bible says vinges is mine says the lord. Because you will reep if you faint not, in the times of adversity. God has your back covered so just continue to walk forward Just Like forgivrness is a major charastwestic & you take up charachersisits from those that you try to be like rater they are nature or nurture. In the nurture relm you have those things you had not controll over they just genetically happened. Verses the nature relm meaning those outside influences that have effect on who you are for example, who we try to be like. And our main goal is to be like...

...Sdfsd fsssssssssssssssssssss sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssss sssss ssssss sss sssssssss ssssssss ssssssssssssssssss ssssssss sssssssssss fsdferwerwerwerwer Wer W W Er W Er W Werw EASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration on Monday will roll out a plan to cut earth-warming pollution from power plants and 30 percent by 2030, setting in motion one of the most significant actions to address global warming in U.S. history. The rule, which is expected to be final next year, will set the first national limits on carbon dioxide, the chief gas linked to global warming from the nation's power plants. They are the largest source of greenhouse gases in the U.S., accounting for about a third of the annual emissions that make the U.S. the second largest contributor to global warming on the planet. The Environmental Protection Agency regulation is a centerpiece of President Barack Obama's plans to reduce the pollution linked to global warming, a step that the administration hopes will get other countries to act when negotiations on a new international treaty resume next year. Despite concluding in 2009 that greenhouse gases endanger human health and welfare, a finding that triggered their regulation under the 1970 Clean Air Act, it has taken years for the administration to take on the nation's fleet of power plants. In December 2010, the Obama administration announced a "modest pace" for setting greenhouse gas standards for power plants...

...On the Relationship between stock return and exchange rate: evidence on China Yaqiong Li a b , Lihong Huang b a b The Business School, Loughborough University ,UK College of Mathematics and Econometrics, Hunan University, Changsha ,Hunan ,China Abstract The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between RMB exchange rate and A-share stock returns in China, in particular in Shanghai stock market. We find that both stock returns and RMB nominal exchange rate are integrated of order 1. The Engle–Granger cointegration test is then performed, suggesting that there is not a long-run equilibrium relationship between stock returns and RMB exchange rates at 5% significance level. However, there is strong evidence suggesting that there is a short-run uni-directional causality relationship from the nominal exchange rate to the stock returns. Keywords: cointegration; Granger causality; RMB exchange rate; stock return; unit root test. 1. Introduction The China’s exchange rate policy has recently emerged as one of major issues in the trade between the PR of China and the United States of America. The controversy is fuelled by China’s pegging of RMB to USD. Since a major devaluation of the RMB in 1994, the Chinese currency’s exchange rate vis-a-vis USD remained more or less unchanged until 21 July 2005, and has fluctuated from RMB 8.22 to 8.11 per dollar since then. The Chinese Authority has recently announced that “RMB will be no longer pegged to the US dollar”...

...Nim Chimpsky a chimpanzee who was named after a contemporary psychologist, linguist and political activist Nom Chomsky (Good Therapy). This is because Chompsy said that only humans have the means to learn language and researchers saw this as a clever pun (nybooks). Nim was a well-recognized chimpanzee for language learning, and was the focus of an experiment in teaching primates sign language. He was born in Norman, Oklahoma at the Institute for Primate Studies, on November 21, 1973. Nim died in March of 2000 from a heart attack or some say from a broken heart. He was twenty-six years old at the Black Beauty Ranch, a Texas animal sanctuary where he had passed away (npr). The Chimpanzee was raised as if he were a human; he was apart of all aspects of family life (dailymail). Nim was taken from his mother’s arms as an infant and given to Stephanie LaFarge, his new human mother. He was taken to her home in New York City where she would raise him in the same custom that she did her own seven children (Dailymail). Nim was in an experiment that was based on nature vs. nurture (skepticblog). In this experiment, Nim was learning how to communicate using sign language, he was sent to Columbia University were there was a chain of monitors watching his progress of ASL. The man who was the creator of this experiment was Dr. Herbert Terrace, a psychology professor. He wanted to prove that a chimpanzee if in a nurturing environment similar to the environment of human child could use grammar...

...Nonverbal communication is when a person users gestures instead of words. Gestures can be facial expressions or body expressions. While doing research I learned that gestures are different around the world of different cultures. I chose French, Italian, and German to compare and contrast. The French word Mon ceil means disbelief in what someone is telling someone else. The gesture is taking the index finger, and pulling the skin down under the eye. In Italian this gestures is called Intesa, which means to remember our agreement. Germany did not have this gesture. It was hard to find gestures in German. French, Italian, and German have the same hand gesture for okay. In French they usually just say ok like Americans do. In Italian they just say ok too. In German it is A-OK. The gesture is taking the index finger and thumb then create a circle. The other fingers are standing straight up. When holding up the index and middle finger Americans call this the peace sign. The French it means victory. They spell it victorie. In Italian V sign word is vincita. They too have the same meaning as victory. Italians have another V sign word, and it is scusi, devo andare al bugno. This means I have to go to the bathroom. In German the V sign stands for victory too. The gesture thumbs up in Italian means can you give me a ride? The word for this is mi da un passaggio. The French call thumbs up au poil. The word for thumbs down is nul or c’est nul. In German...

...Product Development In order to successfully introduce a new product into the marketplace, it is important to know what consumers want and need. Likewise, it is just as important to position a product offering in the minds of customers in their target market in a way that consumers understand why the product the company is offering meets their needs better than other competitive offerings (Grewal & Levy, 2014). A marketing plan must be put in place that identifies and evaluates opportunities by performing a marketing segmentation, targeting, and position evaluation. Hands-Free Can Opener Many people have difficulty opening cans due to multiple issues ranging from arthritis to hand pain or those that have weak grip strength. There are manual can openers on the market as well as automatic ones, though these can sometimes not open cans as efficiently and leave cans with extremely sharp edges that can cause injury. A hands-free automatic can opener that cuts from around the rim of the can as opposed to cutting from the top of the can like other openers can alleviate the problem of sharp edges. In addition, the design will be ergonomic in that it fits in the palm of your hand and can be stored in a small drawer where it does not take up counter space like traditional automatic can openers. It will be activated with a push of a button and feature a magnet that holds the top of the can in place to prevent the top from falling into the can once cut. Segmentation In...
