...Economics Economies of Scale Reduction in cost per unit resulting from increased production, realized through operational efficiencies. Economies of scale can be accomplished because as production increases, the cost of producing each additional unit falls. Diseconomies of Scale “Economies of scale” is a simple concept that can be demonstrated through an example. Assume you are a small business owner and are considering printing a marketing brochure. The printer quotes a price of $5,000 for 500 brochures, and $10,000 for 2,500 copies. While 500 brochures will cost you $10 per brochure, 2,500 will only cost you $4 per brochure. In this case, the printer is passing on part of the cost advantage of printing a larger number of brochures to you. This cost advantage arises because the printer has the same initial set-up cost regardless of whether the number of brochures printed is 500 or 2,500. Once these costs are covered, there is only a marginal extra cost for printing each additional brochure. Economies of scale can arise in several areas within a large enterprise. While the benefits of this concept in areas such as production and purchasing are obvious, economies of scale can also impact areas like finance. For example, the largest companies often have a lower cost of capital than small firms because they can borrow at lower interest rates. As a result, economies of scale are often cited as a major rationale when two companies announce a merger or takeover. However...

...Memory Destruction For those that suffer from memory loss, everyday life can be difficult. The onset of memory loss may come on suddenly or be more gradual. It can be permanent or temporary, depending on the cause. Memory loss is also referred to as amnesia. Memory loss is defined as the inability to recall past events. Short-term memory loss is the inability to recall events that occurred recently. Long-term memory loss is the inability to recall events that happened in the distant past. Also there are effects of memory loss after a stroke may include: Alzheimer's disease, and amnesia First, The memory loss associated with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) may have multiple cognitive components. Working memory appears to be impaired due to failures of a Central Executive System. Secondary Memory, on the other hand, is affected due to poor encoding or meditational processes. An analysis of the performance of 71 AD patients on tests related to these neuropsychological constructs revealed that they could indeed be dissociated. In fact, individual patients were identified with significantly different, and unique, patterns of impairment which were consistent with the two-component model. These data, therefore, lend preliminary support for the notion of multiple cognitive impairments being responsible for the memory loss in AD Second, ECT is a common cause of severe retrograde amnesia, doe example, destruction of memories of events prior to an injury. The potency of...

...C A.$£~ 3 Jack Brandon's initial idea has not panned out, and the cash is nearly gone. But he's got a new plan. Will you back him a second time? HBR CASE STUDY Good Money After Bad? by John W. Mullins From a rocky perch overlooking the sparkling lights of San Francisco, Christian Harbinson gazed across the bay to the hills above Sausalito. "There's nothing like a vigorous hike;' he thought, "to clear the mind before a crucial meeting:' It was a mild March evening, and the 35-year-old venture capitalist was reflecting on the recommendation he would have to make to his firm's investment committee the next morning about Jack Brandon's young company, Seven Peaks Technologies. Seven Peaks had developed an innovative device for cauterizing blood vessels during electrosurgery, and although the feedback from surgeons had been excellent, sales had been slow. The Palo Alto-based venture capital firm where Harbinson worked, Scharfstein Weekes, had invested $600,000 in Seven Peaks from its newly raised second fund of $100 million. SW's current investment strategy focused on early-stage medical technology companies, and Seven Peaks was a typical investment for the firm, which liked to get in on promising ideas modestly and then follow with additional rounds of capital after technological and market milestones had been met. The $600,000 was nearly gone; Harbinson and his colleagues had to decide whether to put more into the struggling company. Seven...

...UNIT ONE INTRODUCTION TO CIVIC AND ETHICAL EDUCATION 1. INTRODUCTION 2. MEANINGS OF CIVICS AND ETHICAL EDUCATION The Notion of Civics The subject field of civics originates from the nature of human being itself i.e. from the natural behavior and level of interaction of human beings it self. One basic nature of human beings related with this statement is the fact that “man is a social animal” whose life is closely related to each other. Almost all instincts, demands and progresses of human beings are fulfilled in society. The superiority that human beings try to achieve over nature and other living things is the result of the social bond among human beings. If such bond is a requirement for the survival of human beings, then what should be the pattern of social interaction that exist among human beings is closely related with the subject matter of civics. In this regard civics is considered as a subject field which is mainly concerned with teaching citizens as to how they can live harmonious and peaceful life with other citizens and as to how they can resolve conflicts peacefully among them selves. The other basic nature of human being is the political view of philosophy by Plato that, “Man is a political animal”, which means no human being can escape from the deeds of politics and its dayto-day life is either directly or indirectly affected by it. For this reason human beings have to know the workings of politics, institutions that affect their day to day life, norms, principles...

...In “One good turn” Rybczynski (2000/2011) claim that the Robertson’s screw is better screw by providing concrete scientific evidence and using effective language and anecdotes to the general audience. The author start with giving information about Robertson and Phillips background and their early success and downfall, and he also bring some evidence and consumer reports to convince readers that Robertson screw is more practical. By explaining the two inventor’s characters, the author intentionally makes it clear that why Robertson was not successful in business although his screw work more efficiently. Rybczynski (2000/2011) describe that Robertson as unmarried person “A life-long bachelor” was rigid, perfectionist and (… was unwilling to share control over production) whereas Phillips was more flexible and wanted to share his patent with other manufactures. The author also makes his argument stronger by mentioning about world war and economic crises in that era. He states that World War II makes the Phillips screw worldwide; however, the World War I and bad economic circumstances had negative effect in Robertson screw. In the final paragraph Rybczynski (2000/2011) cleverly shift the tone and talk directly with the readers to show that he is a fan of Robertson screw and says” I must confess myself to be a confirmed Robertson user” (p. 468). By repeating the subtitle and giving the statement “Why not” at the last sentence reveal his support to the Robertson screw...

...Good Thinking is Inspired by Good Values That One Practices On A Daily Basis Thinking is the highest mental activity present in man. All human achievements and progress are simply the products of thought. Thus, man’s thinking can change the world to a better place or even worse too. In today’s society, we can see many types of crime happened around us. The major factor that encourage these people to do such thing is not because they are forced by the bad situation but is they have bad thought to achieve or get something. They are selfish, heartless, only care about themselves and sometimes they are lazy to work for money. And thus, they rob, snatch, cheat and abduct people who are usually weak or don’t have much experience in handle with ‘bad guys’ . For instances, old lady, young lady, woman and child.

...OM 2 Chapter 1: Goods, Services, and Operations Management Problems, Activities, and Discussions 1) Explain how operations management activities affect the customer experiences described in the anecdote at the beginning of this chapter. What “moments of truth” would a customer at Disney World encounter? Think about the total experience including lodging, food service, shopping, and transportation, as well as theme park attractions and operations. The anecdote of a Disney experience focuses on the role of goods, services, and processes in creating customer satisfaction. Students will have many great examples of their Disney or theme park experiences. Moments of truth might include (a) booking a Disney vacation and the associated service encounters with a call center and/or travel agency (b) parking at the Disney site and taking the shuttle, (c) asking Disney employees for directions, (d) waiting for a ride or attraction, (e) where to throw away trash (trash cans located at key points and about every 25 to 50 feet, (f) watching a Disney parade, and so on. Whatever the student describes make sure you lead them into a discussion of key lessons that focus on the role of OM such as (1) process design and customer flows, (2) service encounter design and Disney employee training, (3) integrating goods and services into a CBP, (4) the importance of service management skills, (5) how services differ from goods, (6) biztainment, and (7) a continuous improvement...

It’s also convenient because it is right around the corner from a lot of customers houses; they don’t have to travel far to find a Wal-Mart store so they save gas. People already know that Wal-Mart has the lowest prices so they don’t have to search for stores with low prices. The items sold are good quality as well as cheap. What more could someone ask for.

...conflict of public interest and free market is especially controversial in the U.S. because the U.S. was developed as a free economy. What Roosevelt suggested was to have the government providing its citizens equal access to uniform standard goods and services. It was one of his major concerns regard capitalism back then, and the problem still stands today. With the creed of profit-maximization, corporations inevitably revise their goods and services accordingly to each company’s own interest. In one way, the differentiated goods is a sign of healthy market—firms compete with each other by providing goods that suit costumers the best to maximize profit margin. On the other hand, however, this profit-seeking nature leads to various problems that rarely occur to public goods. In the article “Is Private Enterprise More Efficient Than The Public Sector When It Comes to Student Housing?” the author gives us an example of a typical private enterprise failure: a balcony detached from a newly constructed resident hall building that led to injuries of three students at the University of South Texas. The possible causes of the incident are conjectured to be flaw design and rush work. While the old resident halls, constructed as public goods, are far more reliable because they are built by the same standard that had been tested for a long period of time. Professor Smith revealed in his speech “The Corporation: An Historical Perspective” that corporations generate plenty of benefits...

...are the implications of this knowledge? There are two studies occurring in this case. The first one is “Usage and attitude study”. The insights is gained from the case: * 56% Canadian prefers to bake from scratch and 33% bake scratch every month. * Convenience and taste is the top two most important elements considered by Canadian when they choose cookies. Then they followed by quality of cookies. The kids’ favor is also put into considered when their parents decide to purchase. * Customers regard cookie dough as convenient. And acting on the impulse, increasing number of customers purchase cookie dough. Implications obtained from the study: First of all, it’s the preference of cooking method. We could regard this point as one of customer behavior features, to be detailed, or as how to use our product. Guillen should base on this behavior preference to improve the product. Second, it’s the purchase drivers considered by customer. Based on the study, when customers choose cookies, the product features should be listed as convenience, taste, quality and kids’ preference. This is critical information for Guillen to redesign or reposition his product. What’s more, it’s the motives of purchase. According to the study, customers always choose product impulsively without too much recognition or preference about certain products. There are two sides of this matter. One is positive. It means it easy to persuade customer to buy the product if the product could cater...
