ANALYSIS Identifying my Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats A SWOT analysis is a term used to describe a tool that is effective in identifying my Strengths and Weaknesses, and for examining the Opportunities and Threats you face. While it is a basic, Straight forward model, it has been a popular business practice for many years because it helps provide direction and serves as a basis for the development of business plans. It accomplishes this by examining the strengths (what an operation does well) and weaknesses (what an operation does not do well) in addition to opportunities (potential favorable conditions for an operation) and threats (potential unfavorable conditions for an operation). Once completed, the SWOT analysis can help determine if the information indicates something that will assist the operation in achieving its objectives (a strength or opportunity), or if it indicates an obstacle that must be overcome or minimized to achieve desired results (weakness or threat).

...game simulation. The simulation placed the role of quality control manager (QCM) as my title within an organization called “G-Bio Sport’s.” Additionally, I was tasked with two dilemmas involving ethical issues, and the various ethical perspectives that were used in my analysis and decision making to resolve the dilemmas. This journal will reflect the issues, steps, ethical perspective used to base decision on and influence it played, as well as the correlation of various concepts within the simulation with my workplace. Ethical Dilemma Issue (The Case of Fair Warning) In the first dilemma products contaminated with high levels of GBS-Fibranafren, one of G-Bio Sport’s patented ingredients, which over two-thirds of the company’s products contain where found to have slipped through quality control. The dilemma provoked an issue of what the best decision would be to initiate a resolution to the issue. The company concluded that in healthy adults there was extremely low risk, though those with low immune systems would be at a higher risk, this with repeated use. Decision Making Steps In coming to an ethical decision or basis, I first identified the issues (whether or not to recall, disseminate the information, refund or replace the product) and then analyzed the issues enabling a clear perspective on the understanding of each issue.

...Ethics Awareness Inventory Analysis Constance L. Hernandez GEN 480 June 8, 2014 Jenny Hayes Ethics Awareness Inventory Analysis The Ethics Awareness Inventory Analysis is an analysis of a person’s moral beliefs and standards that he or she holds in both his and her personal and professional lives. After taking the analysis I was not surprised at the results, I scored extremely high on both character and obligation. When reading through the ethical perspectives that were offered in the report, I found them to be accurate to the way that I think and believe. In this paper, I will address the results of the test, how my education has affected my ethical thinking, the use of my ethics in thinking and decision-making and any potential conflicts that may arise from persons with different ethical behaviors. I hold very high values and believe that integrity is a virtue that defines a person, how he or she conducts his or her lives; as well as how he or she treats and respects others. According to “Merriam Webster” (2014) ethics is “rules of behavior that is based on what is morally good and bad. Ethics is a study that deals with ideas about what is good and bad behavior; a branch of philosophy dealing with what is morally right or wrong, and a belief that something is extremely important.” I have always believed that it is important to respect yourself and others, to make sure that your obligations are taken seriously and placed ahead of anything else. I want people to know...

...Log My Personal Interest Project topic was chosen with my micro world in mind, due to my interest in art as well as being a Visual Art student. Through studying gender roles during my Visual Art course and exploring social exclusion in Society and Culture, it compelled me to want to learn more about the representation of women within the art world. As a socially aware individual with an interest in art, I felt the need to explore these inequalities to see if they still exist and how this may impact on other young artists. The research methods that I chose were interview, statistical analysis and content analysis, which would provide me qualitative results, as well as quantitative by being able to collect data and statistics. Originally, I planned on conducting a focus group discussion, however as my project progressed, I decided on content analysis as it allowed me to observe a variety of sources and immerse myself in the art world. By choosing an interview I was able to gain insightful knowledge from four females who were either art curators or historians and one male who is an art historian. This gave me qualitative results as I was able to receive in-depth answers from numerous people and allowed and exploration of my cross-cultural by interviewing both genders and gaining their perspectives on this. However, there were some limitations such as by completing my interviews through e-mail, I was not able to ask any follow up questions for answers to be further elaborated...

There are judgments that are emotional, spur of the moment, horseback or back of envelope – quick decision. There are also the rational informed kind” (Stellar Force, 2010, para. 1). I have used all types of decision-making models in my life; however, I am going to discuss how I have used the five-step decision-making model and a SWOT analysis to help me make different kinds of decisions. Five-Step Decision-Making Model I have already earned my Master’s in Business Administration and in doing so; I have learned large amounts of information about different types of decision-making models.

... it was interesting to hear the perspectives of the other members of my group. As we all had different knowledge of this specific event, we were able to piece together our thoughts and dive deep into the images and story line. I also noticed as we brought our ideas together as a group, I was able to notice things I had not before. As I went back and read the book for the third or fourth time, I would try to figure out what others would be thinking. For example, I thought of the story through the eyes of the young boy, his parents, and the guards. After I read through it, I began to sympathize with each character point of view. This study has encouraged me to now, through each book I read, look through all of the characters point of views and see what the author is trying to tell the reader. I noticed I begin to be a detective as I read the books now, where as before I would just read it from one point of view and believe that was all. • About the nature of reading (connect to central theories)?

...business. A quality strategy arises from quality business analysis and highly concerned with learning, discovering and invention processes. According to Williamson et al. (2004) major concern of business analysis is to provide an insight to the current position of the company, options available and best possible directions open for it, and how identified goals can be achieved. From this module we have learned that business analysis has a direct relation to identification of business strategy and plays a crucial role in it. Through this module we have learned how to use different analytical tools to assess a business and evaluate possible strategic directions for future. The primary role of the analyst is identification of tools from the huge available amount, applicable to exact company, situation and environment with further proper interpretation of data analysis results. As an instance, Williamson et al. (2004, p.64) citing Pascale (1996) provide the case when “Pascale’s analysis of Honda’s entry into US market gave a completely different interpretation of events than did the BCG working with rational planning/positional perspective”. Based on the knowledge obtained from this module I feel confident to advise my management on strategic issues. First big question according to Williamson et al. (2004, p.3) is “Where is the organization now?” and the best analytical tool, which answers this question is SWOT analysis, which assess internal strengths and weaknesses of the organization...

...Historical and Scientific Perspectives on Homosexuality May 25, 2014 PSY/265 Dr. Matiko Bivins Historical and scientific perspectives on homosexuality may have shaped the way gay indivuals perceive themselves. Some that are homosexual may be confused especially if they have a member of their family that tells them that they are sick and this isn’t how they are supposed to be. Scientific perspectives that people have can be confusing because they might not understand why people see them differently because they have feeling for the same sex. Their feeling of liking or loving the same sex, and seeing someone with the same organs and being stimulated by it. In everyday society homosexuals are starting to accept themselves more and once peoples perspectives around them change it gets more comfortable for them. In ancient Greece, established men formed sexual relationships with adolescent males at about the age when they first grow a beard Raghu’s ,Envied , and Fichner-Rathus,(2005).The main sexual activity was the older male inserted his penis between the younger male thighs until he ejaculates. This isn’t someone coming out that they are gay, for me this is forced by a culture. It is amazing to see how different each religion and culture is Rathus ,Nevid , and Fichner-Rathus,(2005). Especially one like ancient Greece younger male not even having a choice of what they are interested in.Everone should have a choice...

...Personal SWOT Analysis You are most likely to succeed in life if you use your talents to their fullest extent. Similarly, you'll suffer fewer problems if you know what your weaknesses are, and if you manage these weaknesses so that they don't matter in the work you do. So how you go about identifying these strengths and weaknesses, and analyzing the opportunities and threats that flow from them? SWOT Analysis is a useful technique that helps you do this. What makes SWOT especially powerful is that, with a little thought, it can help you uncover opportunities that you would not otherwise have spotted. And by understanding your weaknesses, you can manage and eliminate threats that might otherwise hurt your ability to move forward. If you look at yourself using the SWOT framework, you can start to separate yourself from your peers, and further develop the specialized talents and abilities you need to advance your career.

...I. The Pre-Analysis: A. Perspective: 1. Describe the perspective of the author(s) of the case study and the possible biases that might result from that perspective: The author, Archie B. Carroll is professor at University of Georgia. He may neither work for any company nor be a significant decision-maker in a company. Therefore, he analysis and perspective may different from perspective of important decision-makers. Since he is a professor, he may not know much about car and tire and the difference impact of different tires on different car. He may be a loyal customer of Ford, so he may bias toward Ford and give favorable information and perspective for Ford. 2. My perspective as the analyst: Ford is one of my favorite brands because of its bold image. Therefore, I may be more interested in favorable facts and deny negative numbers of Ford. I don’t know much about automobiles, so I may not understand the consequences of tire tread separation when driving. B. State what you are bracketing: They would do bad things to lower the costs of tire which led to tire tread separation. They would have blamed each other and their customers for their own fault. They would keep all customers’ complaint and lawsuit private from public. They would continue to use low quality tires. II. The Situation : A. List the facts relevant to the issue(s) identified: • The first lawsuit against Firestone was in 1991. • Lori Lazarus was trapped in her car and rescued...
