...Your Excellencies, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. At Saudi Aramco, we are committed to powering global economic development with adequate and affordable energy and a low carbon future. Better yet, we firmly believe that these era-defining objectives are not mutually exclusive. We employ a multi-pronged strategy that addresses both the production of petroleum and its consumption: through an unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship beyond mere compliance; by instilling operational excellence all along the petroleum value chain; and, most critically, by leveraging innovation and technology. When it comes to the production side of the equation, at Saudi Aramco we’ve already come a long way. Over the past four decades, we’ve reduced our CO2 footprint six-fold, despite rising activity levels; and we’ve reduced gas flaring to well below 1% of annual gas production today. Our multi-faceted efforts continue, as we are about to start a sizeable demonstration project for CO2 from one of our large industrial plants. Looking at the consumption side, great progress has been made. Although the transport sector is responsible for only 13% of global greenhouse gas emissions, innovation and technology could make this even smaller. For example, hybrid vehicles are able to double the average miles per gallon. This is on top of ongoing efforts to increase the efficiency of conventional internal combustion and diesel engines. For example, at Saudi Aramco...

...Chapter 12 Case Study 1 1. What were some of the key steps that led to Caterpillar's becoming the industry leader in earth-moving machinery? First things first, CAT has unmatched quality and consistency; their product reliability and reputation was the key factor in their success. Caterpillar also invested a great amount of money on market research. They have and continue to innovate to meet the needs of their consumers. They also targeted and developed equipment for different industries such as agriculture and infrastucture. They invested in a factory modernizing program that improved product availability for consumers. This made the company more efficient and competitive. Caterpillar also has an immense product range to serve each market and specific region's needs. Another factor is CAT's business model which provides it all machines, services, and support for a wide range of industries. I have worked with heavy duty equipment for nearly ten years specifically agriculture and infrastucture. I have operated and serviced a wide range of products from John Deere, to Case, to CAT and in my experienced i have found that CAT has the most reliable, and high quality machinery out of every manufacturer. The consistent quality that their machines have shown over the years convinced my company to invest in about twenty new CAT engines for our Grape Harvesters. Im discussing this to show that CAT is always innovating and getting involved in all types of Markets. 2. Discuss CAT's future...

...Individual project: MGT 680 Student Name: Goal: Developing a thorough understanding of theories by applying a motivation theory and a leadership theory to a popular movie. Movie choice (Indicate option on pull-down menu): Path Goal Theory: Identify the four behaviors used by leaders (according to this theory) and the situations under which each behavior should be used: Behavior 1: Directive Leaders - directive leadership is defined in its name. The leader's followers require direction and expect to hear from the leader regarding how they carry out their duties. For this type of leadership to be effective, typically the followers are working within an environment that is ad-hoc and unstructured. An example of a directive leader would be a yoga teacher. As the leader, he/she is in charge of directing the students on what to do next (especially in a first-time class). Behavior 2: Supportive Leaders - supportive leadership takes place when the leader creates an environment that is friendly and free from encumbrances that the other leaderships defined within this section hinder. It's proven that this leadership style is most effective within that are mentally challenging. An example of a supportive leader would be a Major League Baseball pitching coach. As the leader, he/she is in charge of calming the pitchers nerves and mind when on the mound. Behavior 3: Participative...

...they always assumed it was because the infection was too far gone. Or even that the Devil himself had a hunger for that person’s soul. Even during the time of the black plague outbreaks, smallpox, cholera and the many other ramped diseases of the dark ages, the bloodletting practice was incorporated. Even during the Salem witch trials this method was instilled as a form of torture to get confessions of witchcraft form the accused, and also to try to rid them of the evil blood received from the devil. The practice was thought to have died out with the knights, nobles, and the kingdoms of old, and destroyed along with the witches…or so we thought. Fast forward many centuries from the dark ages to the modern days of the cell phone, laptops, hybrid cars, online dating websites, and modern medicine, and we arrive in Boston, Massachusetts, in about mid-October of 2014.A new wave a murders has hit the city.

...Running Head: THE STRUGGLE OF CHRYSLER The Struggle of Chrysler Valerie Steinmetz Pete Rohlman Kelly Jane McLaughlin Cardinal Stritch University College of Business and Management Rich Bruce, Instructor Business Communication January 28, 2010 Over the past ten years, America has had many historic moments. With planes flying into the World Trade Center to the election of our first African-American president, the American public has had much to be excited about and to fear. In more recent history, the American economy has been the main topic. From the Fall of Wall Street, crashing of the housing market, to the fall of the American Automakers. The government has stepped in to save the private market and attempt to restore life to what was once a corner stone in America. Chrysler was one of many companies to be bailed out by the government during 2008. This is a look at where Chrysler started to where they are today. The Chrysler name doesn’t mean much to residents of Kenosha. The auto plant has been called by many names since 1900, when Thomas Jeffery bought a bicycle factory and started mass-producing vehicles. These vehicles had two groundbreaking innovations: steering wheels and front-mounted engines. Historians say it was in Kenosha, not Detroit that cars began “to look like cars.” Vehicles jokingly referred to as Kenosha Cadillacs, were small, inexpensive, and sometimes, homely looking Ramblers.

We used an integrated simulation model for analyzing the new telematics industry, consisting of six sectors: customer acquisition, customer choice, alliances, customer service, financial dynamics, and dealer behavior. The modeling effort had important financial, organizational, and societal results. The OnStar business now has two million subscribers, an 80 percent market share...
