...Harvard Business Review July-August 1960 • Shortsighted managements often fail to recognize that in fact there is no such thing as a growth industry. MARKETING MYOPIA By Theodore Levitt Every major industry was once a growth industry. But some that are now riding a wave of growth enthusiasm are very mueh in the shadow of decline. Others whieh are thought of as seasoned growth industries have actually stopped growing. In every case the reason growth is threatened, slowed, or stopped is not because the market is saturated. It is because there has been a failure of management. business. The reason they defined their industry wrong was because they were railroad-oriented instead of transportation-oriented; they were produetoriented instead of customer-oriented. e Hollywood barely escaped being totally ravished by television. Actually, all the established film companies went through drastic reorganizations. Some simply disappeared. All of them got into trouble not because of TV's inroads hut because of their own myopia. As with the railroads, Hollywood defined its husiness incorrectly. It thought it was in the movie husiness when it was actually in the entertainment husiness. "Movies" implied a specific, limited produet. This produced a fatuous contentment which from the beginning led producers to view TV as a threat. HollywootI scorncxi and rejected TV when it should have welcomed it as an opportunity — an opportunity to expand the entertainment husiness. Today TV is a bigger...

...Project of Econometrics INTRODUCTION In this paper our motivation to discuss effects of models by estimating its parameters in matrix and scalar notations, its variances checked via different formal and informal methods, checked the depends of error terms and analyze that auto-correlation whether it is positive, zero or negative, we also check the data is normality distributed or not, and check the structural stability. We consider the civilian unemployment rate and manufacturing hourly compensation in US dollars for simple regression. We consider the data in multiple regressions on Wildcat activity. Wildcats are wells drilled to find and produce oil and gas in an improved area or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas or to extend the limit of a known oil or gas reservoir. For hetroscedasticity tests we consider for simple regression wholesale and consumer price index data and for multiple regressions we take same data which we above used for multiple regression. We consider Fertility and other data for 64 countries for the F-test, Durbin-Watson test and CHOW test where child mortality depends upon the female literacy rate, per capita GNP and total fertility rate. DATA SOURCES I took the data from the Guajarati book. Table 5.10 on page no. 158 represents the data which we used for simple regression for hetroscedasticity tests. Table 7.7on page no. 237 represents the data which I used for multiple regressions. Table 6.4...

De egenskaber der skal bestemme identiteten af alkoholen er: a) Densitet (g/mL). b) Kogepunkt (° C). c) Alkoholens evne til at blive oxideret af Beckmanns blanding: Beckmanns blandingen består af kaliumdichromat i svovlsur opløsning og er god til oxidationer af primære og sekundære alkoholer. Hvis der havde været en tertiær alkohol blandt de udvalgte alkoholer, ville denne ikke kunne oxideres af Beckmanns blanding og der ville da, ikke kunne ses nogen farveændring. Dette skyldes at tertiære alkoholer ikke kan oxideres, fordi det carbon-atom der er bundet til hydroxid-gruppen, ikke har nogen H+ at give væk. Fx 2-methylpropan-2-ol: CH3 CH3 CH3 – C – OH Ved redoxreaktionen, er kaliumionen K+ fra Beckmanns blandingen, en tilskuerion, mens den orange dichromation Cr2O72− indgår i reaktionen, hvor den reduceres...

...I look over at my ford blue 1969 ford pickup truck, sitting in the chest high grass it appears to be sinking. Two tires as flat as pancakes and many scratches on its doors. It’s upsetting that I can’t drive it anymore. It hasn’t been turned over in nearly 40 years because gas prices have been such a disgrace. Last time I put gas in that pickup truck was when I was in college in 1971 gas was only $0.30 a gal Ever since college that pickup truck has not moved an inch. I got that ford blue pickup truck from a dealer way down in good ol’ North Carolina for only $ 650 and she was brand new. I drove it home from North Carolina on the wide open country roads. I was the only one in my town with a pickup truck I used her to help many people move. The next couple of weeks more people got trucks drove that pickup truck to it literary fell apart. I have 2 grandchildren a 10 year old and a 13 year old and they ask me why I haven’t driven that pickup truck and I try to explain to them about OPEC and the gas prices but they don’t get it. Gas is now $4.00 a gallon and that would cost me $72.00 to fill up my tank, my grandchildren will have an advantage because of car manufactures are making efficient cars which will save them...

...Burma Pipelines Case Study OL 690 Helen Cowell Prof. Jan Wyatt August 16, 2012 Torture, forced displacement, land confiscation, genocide and arbitrary arrest are connected to the Shwe natural gas and oil project in Burma. What is the damage to the environment and the livelihood of the thousands of the displaced people? Are the people’s human rights being violated by being forced to give up their land? Are Chinese companies being unethical and prey-hunter businessmen? These are just a few of the questions being asked concerning the new pipelines being built. Natural gas and oil pipelines, which will start in Kyaukphyu, are being constructed to provide gas and oil to resource hungry China. The oil pipeline will be 479 miles long and will be able to discharge 240 thousand barrels of oil per day. The natural gas pipelines will extend even further to Guangxiin China, running a total of 1700 miles long. Burma relies on agriculture and exports of rice to keep their economy afloat. Climate changes, due to burning gas, will have huge impacts on global temperatures in Burma. Burma is a lowland delta region which is vulnerable to flooding. The project has led to the confiscation of thousands of acres of land across the area of Burma due to creating a “security corridor” adjacent to the pipeline, destroyed the livelihood of farmers due to land confiscation, bankrupted fisherman by devastating the marine ecosystem, due to underwater mining, and killing fish. Some farmers...

...Some believe everyday cars only let out “plain ol’ air” while semi trucks and 4x4’s are the only types of vehicles that discharge such harmful gases . These people are completely wrong. Everyday cars release compounds such as CO (Carbon Monoxide), NOx (Nitrogen Oxides), SO2 (Sulfur Dioxide), and many more. Transportation is a key in today’s society. If we didn’t have the means of getting around now, it would take weeks to travel across America, years (to travel) around the world, so getting rid of cars in general is just silly. There is a healthy alternative, though: electric cars. Though they do emit exhaust, it is substantially lower amounts than that of a gas-powered vehicle. Vehicles aren’t the only cause weakening the many layers of our atmosphere. Another gas-powered killer is the everyday gas stove. They are “out-of-date” as more people continue to modernize homes and install electric stoves, but there are still a mass quantity in homes. I, myself, even have one in my home. Like most people, I don’t often realize what it does to our environment as I’m waiting for my fresh grilled cheese. That’s beside the point though, people just need to think of the big...
