...Maria Arzola WRI 118 April 10, 2012 Luna Negotiation Case Analysis After reading the Luna Pen case, I did not think that Erika’s approach was the best one. All of her actions, although I know were strategic and worked best for her, were somewhat unwise. For example, I though that the first mistake she made was in the very first situation, when she initially decided to contact Feng. She made the decision to start with an open approach, but she failed to realize that there might be cultural barriers. Although her tone was neutral, by giving him a lot of information through fax, I think that she limited herself from a strategic point of view. Some of the things she mentioned in her fax, I feel, should have been spoken about in person. Tones and emotions can often be misinterpreted: Even the simplest sentence can sound like a threat if the opposing party is in the wrong mood. This move, overall, gave Feng the upper hand on the situation, because it gave him time to think his strategy over. The second mistake that I think Erika made in her approach came in situation 2, her move right after Feng responded to her initial fax. Erika gave into her emotions and lost her temper a bit. She wrote Feng notifying him of the company’s intent to sue and told him of their attempt to find other potential business partners for a Luna venture. Once again, I think this gave Feng the upper hand. Not only did he write to the president of Erika’s company, but he now had the upper hand because...

I have also cited any sources from which I used data, ideas, or words, either quoted directly or paraphrased. I also certify that this paper was prepared by me specifically for the purpose of this assignment. Robert J. Barnett Introduction: What Jim Collin’s epic book Good to Great is to the business and leadership world, Len Sperry and Jon Carlson’s book, How Master Therapists Work (2014) is to the field of psychotherapy and counseling. Both books tell us with vivid accuracy what key qualities separate the best of the best from simply being good at what you do. Len Sperry, MD, PhD, ABPP and Jon Carlson PsyD, EdD, ABPP. and their subject matter are of great interest to me. The subtitle captures the heart of the book’s content and the quintessence of what I want to learn more about, Effecting Change from the First through the Last Session and Beyond. I felt very inadequate as I began practicum concurrent with starting the MAPC program in August, 2013 (still do). Adding the privilege of doing practicum in a real clinic right from the start with real clients resulted in a high motivation to learn quickly in...

...AFRICAN PRINTS IN RETROSPECT: A CASE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT Abstract The paper investigated the nature of machine-produced fabric commercially termed African prints by focusing on a select sample of these prints. It established that the general design characteristics of this print are an amalgam of mainly Javanese, Indian, Chinese, Arab and European artistic tradition. It also explores the desirability and choice of certain design characteristics discovered in a wide range of African textile traditions from Africa south of the Sahara and their application with possible design concepts Akinwumi (2008:3) African print was developed from batik, the latter being of Indian origin. Batik diffused from India to Indonesian islands and Japan while its subsequent perfection was made possible by the Javanese before the thirteen century. Because batik was of Hindu origin, its sacred importance was associated with women’s birth, initiation, marriage etc. The Javanese developed a high level of batik artistry before they were colonized. They produced many symbolic and non-symbolic patterns. While under the rule of the Indians, Chinese, Islamic clerics and the Dutch, the Javanese were influenced by an influx of new ideas from the cultures of their overlords. Consequently, some Chinese mythology and Buddhist themes were borrowed and incorporated in their batik. And greater development of geometric designs was made manifest more than before during the short period Java was made an Islamic state...

...Case Study 2 by Machel Baker, Erika Edlund, and Marcos Spanos A paper submitted in partial fulfillment of CIS 600 course requirements Quinnipiac University Fall 2015 Troubled Project Scenario 3 The implementation stage is taking longer than anticipated, and there is a ripple effect on upcoming agreements. There is an issue on whether the staff will have enough training and support on the new software. The CIO of XYZ does not feel that the staff will be ready to train business clients on the use of the system and has raised the question as to what can be addressed regarding the training. It is an agreement that ABC will provide training and support in the area. It is a shame the CIO is still not fully convinced for the implementation of the system as it is already late into the process. The project clarity may not be clear, causing discomfort among the executives. The ABC project manager relies on the trainers to define the system requirements. ABC is required to clearly outline the system implementation and the goals of the project for XYZ executives to be confident about the project outcomes. Trainers are required to provide the best training possible and make sure XYZ fully understands and is committed to using the new software put into place. Trainers with prior experiences to similar situations are critical in a situation where new software is being implemented. Professionals...

...Teaching Note INTRODUCTION The purpose of the "Harnischfeger Corporation" case is to expose students to the managerial motives for making major financial reporting policy changes. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) allow companies wide latitude in the choice of accounting policies. After a firm chooses a set of accounting policies, current accounting rules permit changes from one alternative policy to another at the discretion of the management. Since reported accounting figures are widely used by a number of external parties, managers of firms have incentives to choose accounting policies in order to influence the behavior of these parties. A variety of managerial motives for accounting policy decisions have been identified in the accounting literature. The Harnischfeger case is designed to encourage students to explore these motives. Harnischfeger Corporation, a large New York Stock Exchange company, faced a financial crisis in 1982. New management was appointed to turn the company around. As part of its restructuring strategy, the new management team made a number of financial reporting policy changes in fiscal 1984. Together, these changes accounted for most of Harnischfeger's reported 1984 profits. More significantly, these changes represented a substantial switch from the company's earlier conservative reporting philosophy to a more aggressive one. The case describes the company's financial crisis, the turnaround strategy of the new...

...one entity to another in exchange for payment. It is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss. An insurer, or insurance carrier, is a company selling the insurance; the insured, or policyholder, is the person or entity buying the insurance policy. The amount of money to be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage is called the premium. Risk management, the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice. The transaction involves the insured assuming a guaranteed and known relatively small loss in the form of payment to the insurer in exchange for the insurer's promise to compensate (indemnify) the insured in the case of a financial (personal) loss. The insured receives a contract, called the insurance policy, which details the conditions and circumstances under which the insured will be financially compensated. Types of Insurance Services Insurance can take a number of different forms. Some of these types: Auto insurance Auto insurance protects the policyholder against financial loss in the event of an incident involving a vehicle they own, such as in a traffic collision. It might include property, liability and medical coverage. Gap insurance Gap insurance covers the excess amount on your auto loan in an instance where your insurance company does not cover the entire loan. Depending on the companies specific policies it might ...

The means of transmission of Streptococcus pneumoniae is via respiratory droplet from the mouth or nose of an infected person or a carrier. Penicillin became available in the 1940’s which changed radically the treatment of pneumococcal pneumonia which was based on watchful waiting. Despite this major development pneumonia still posed a major clinical problem today because of the resistance the organism developed against anti -microbial agents.Penicillin resistance is caused by a mosaic mutation of penicillin binding Protein (PBP) genes due to interspecies recombination of homologous genes. It is also recognized that a penicillin resistant pneumococcal in most cases is resistant to other antibiotics such as macrolide, tetracycline, co-trimoxazole, chloramphenicol and clindamycin.Antimicrobial resistance have limit the choice of treatment for many pneumonococcal diseased because of resistance these organism have built up against a number of antibiotice.For instance penicillin is said to be resistant to a list of...
