...Tourette syndrome. Tourette syndrome was discovered more than a hundred years ago, in 1885, by Gilles de la Tourette while he was a physician at the Salpetriere Hospital in Paris, France. Tourette syndrome (also called, Tourette's disorder, Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, GTS or, simply Tourette's or TS) is an inherited neuropsychiatric disorder with onset in childhood, characterized by multiple physical (motor) tics and at least one vocal (phonic) tic. These tics characteristically wax and wane, can be suppressed temporarily, and are preceded by a premonitory urge. Tourette's is defined as part of a spectrum of tic disorders, which includes transient and chronic tics. (Mashpedia.com) Tourette syndrome (TS) is easily misunderstood and as a society we scrutinize these people for having bad behaviors or parents for not being able to control their children. Tourette’s can impact a person/family’s life socially and emotionally because of the misconceptions of Tourette’s. With the first symptoms of TS appearing in early childhood, they become more apparent closer to adolescences and TS can be a chronic lifelong condition with no cure, with progressing symptoms appearing in their early teens. Tics show signs of improving by mid-teens to early adulthood for the majority of individuals with TS, and for the lucky few who can actually become symptom free. The risk factors and cause of TS is unknown, though genetic studies have shown that TS is an inherited dominant gene with a fifty percent...

Evans, CPA, CMA, CFM This course provides more in-depth coverage about competitive intelligence – specific techniques and models used as well as CI Systems. Before taking this course, you should complete Part 1 of this course. This course is recommended for 2 hours of Continuing Professional Education. In order to receive credit, you will need to pass a multiple-choice exam which you can take over the internet at www.exinfm.com/training/course12-2 Chapter 1 Critical Concepts Before we get into Part 2 of this short course, let’s touch on the fundamentals behind competitive intelligence. From Part 1 of this course, we learned that competitive intelligence relies on a very analytical process to transform data and information into intelligence. We also understand that competitive intelligence is not just about studying the competition, but studying the entire external landscape - customers, suppliers, regulators, and all forces that impact the organization. Therefore, our analysis must be very broad in scope. The primary output from competitive intelligence is the ability to make forward-looking decisions. For example, Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric determined strategy based on key intelligence questions: What is the detailed global position of your business and that of your competitors: market shares, strengths by product line, and by region...

...part one: strategic case Sundown Bakery When Carol Teinchek and Bruce Marshall first started Sundown Bakery, the business was fairly simple. Carol ran the shop up front, while Bruce ran the bakery and ordered supplies. When the business began to grow, Carol hired two part-time clerks to help out in the shop. Marina had moved to the country 2 years ago from El Salvador, and Kim was a newly arrived Korean who was working his way through college. Bruce hired Maurice, a French Canadian, as an assistant. The ovens were soon running 24 hours a day, supervised by Maurice, who was now master baker, and two assistants on each of three shifts. Marina and Kim supervised the shop, since Carol was usually too busy managing general sales distribution to spend much time with customers. Bruce still spent 3 or 4 hours a day in the bakery whenever he could get out of his office, but he spent most of that time coordinating production and solving problems with Maurice. Within the next year, Sundown expanded from its original location, adding two new shops as well as two kiosks in local malls. Carol and Bruce hired a new operations manager, Hans Mikelson, who had formerly been regional manager of a national chain of coffee shops. Mikelson had plenty of new ideas about how to operate an expanding business: He had a Web site created, added an extensive range of drinks and meal items to the menu, and instituted two dress codes—one for all counter help and another for kitchen employees. He also put...
