...Capabilities. Matching these capabilities against the key success factors of the industry give your opinion on the Company’s competitive position. In an industry awash with competitors, Dippin‟ Dots (DD) is reliant upon particular technological features in the manufacturing, production and distribution of the flash ice-cream product. This is what fundamentally sets it apart from its rivals. Indeed, the industry-life cycle is generally considered to be at the maturity stage, however DD‟s intellectual capital rests upon the ability of its scientific people to continue to create a product that is following a “breakaway positioning” strategy whereby there is a concerted effort to bring to market goods and services that are perceived by customers as somehow being different (Dess, 2006: 178). Seen in this light, DD‟s cryogenically produced products can be categorised as occupying a particular growth stage of the industry life-cycle, within a wider market that is at the point of maturity. The firm is therefore following a differentiation strategy, which concomitant elements of a focussed strategy, as is evidenced by a segmentation strategy which specifically concentrates on the 8-18 year old demographic. The company hopes to capture a loyal niche following that will gravitate to its products because of the perceived quality that sets the flash ice-cream experience apart from the rest of what is on offer in the market place. DD is adhering to the recognized standards of quality...

...AUTISTIC SELF ADVOCACY NETWORK POLICY BRIEF • MARCH 2013 Organ Transplantation and People with I/DD: A Review of Research, Policy and Next Steps Ari Ne’eman, Autistic Self Advocacy Network Steven Kapp, University of California, Los Angeles Caroline Narby, Autistic Self Advocacy Network Introduction Since organ transplantation was introduced as a viable treatment option, people with disabilities have faced significant barriers to accessing the life-saving procedure. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibited discrimination on the basis of disability by entities receiving federal funds, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 extended this protection more broadly across other areas of society. However, it has historically been difficult to enforce federal civil rights law within the area of medical decision-making. Due to the lack of medical knowledge on the part of the average patient or family member, people with I/DD often face little recourse when denied transplantation or even referral for consideration for such a procedure. In the last twenty years, some progress has been made on this issue, yet the need for further action on the part of activists and policymakers remains exceptionally clear. Background … it has historically been difficult to enforce federal civil rights law within the area of medical decision-making. People with I/DD and Organ Transplantation: A History of Discrimination In 1995, Sandra Jensen, a 34-year old woman...

What became particularly disturbing was that Mike worked in the Loans Department and should not have any access whatsoever to any Human Resources (HR) department files.

...money, within limits, through the use of loans and demand deposits. Commercial banks lend money by creating demand deposits and retire loans by canceling demand deposits. The functions of modern commercial banks are numerous and overlap with those of such other financial institutions. They are most sharply differentiated form other financial institutions by the character of their principal liabilities. Only commercial banks hold demand deposits, which constitute the most important component of money supply, thus banks are unique among non governmental institutions as administrators of demand deposits and as money issuers. They influence not only size of the money stocks but also the allocation of funds and thus the direction and use of resources within the system as a whole. 1.1 Historical Development of Banking Business in Bangladesh For an economy, money is like as blood in a body and a bank may be compared with an artery system of a body.

In this chapter we look at the way in which a business deals with any differences between the balance of the bank account in the cash book and the closing balance of the bank account shown by the bank statement for the same period.

...Themes, Entertainment ________________________________________ The theme park, as an experience design, differs from amusement parks in the critical design intent of its architects. Theme landscapes are developed to distill a glimpse of world /out of this world locations, not unlike a world's fair, at a single location. These entertainment complexes are familiar vacation territories for generations of the world's travel public, as theme parks are deliberately designed to be internationally-focused attractants. The successful dynamism of these landscapes designed for appeal and dependable itinerary offer assurances of what can be expected, with safety and value for the expense of time and money. Generally, themed landscapes perpetuate and promote folk history and cultural traditions, as these are exploited, yet celebrated, simultaneously. Perception of space in the themed environment, without apologies, is inauthentic, but never-the-less successful, and delightful moments for the viewer. Intentionally, architecture is manipulated in order to impart the necessary factors which will aid in promoting happiness by use of ironic realism. Despite pretentions, everyone enjoys themed experiences at some level. Ambivalent designers are not undermined by the pristine and ineffectual notions the design profession propagates on what characterizes good design. Rather, the successful destination architect gives social value and art to underappreciated human elements in architecture. Human...
