...Case 1: Wynn Resorts Q1: What are Wynn Resorts’ distinctive resources and competencies? As stated in the case study, “The greatest operational strength Wynn Resorts has is the founder himself”, Steve Wynn is the company’s biggest advantage. It is abundantly clear that people in the industry respect his decision making as can be seen when he left the Mirage, many senior executives joined him in his new venture. Without Steve Wynn to point the company towards his ultimate vision, the success of Wynn Resorts would be substantially less significant. What Mr. Wynn possesses that cannot be imitated by any other company is his expansive experience and comprehensive knowledge of the hospitality industry. Moreover, his network of connections to both people in positions of influence and financially affluent customers contributes greatly to his ultimate goal. His judgment allows Wynn Resorts to differentiate itself from other competitors in a very competitive industry. Additionally, the other senior executives bring their own expertise to the company that cannot be imitated by competitors. By taking advantage of their experience in their respective fields the company is able to maintain its position as a world class leader in the gaming resort industry. And since these executive have worked together previously, their ability to work together as a cohesive unit is another aspect of Wynn Resorts that cannot be replicated. At present, Wynn Resorts is one of a handful of companies that...

...W Y N N RESORT make their lives' fortune in "Sin City"; Steve Wynn is one of the lucky few who has. He went from humble beginnings in a family-run bingo parlor in Maryland to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chairman of Wynn Resorts, Ltd. premium-destination world-class casinos and resorts. Seen by many in the entertainment industry as a visionary, Steve Wynn has revolutionized the city of Las Vegas one casino at a time.1 He started with small stakes in the Frontier Hotel in 1967 as a newcomer to Vegas to upping the ante with a complete renovation of the Golden Nugget from a dingy downtown Vegas casino to a four-star resort and gaming facility. Mr. Wynn was not satisfied with his accomplishment of attracting high networth clientele to downtown Vegas; he had dreams of expanding his casino empire, starting with a twin Golden Nugget resort in Atlantic City, a rival gambling destination. IAISO on his repertoire of great successes are the magnificent Mirage (1989), Treasure Island (1993), and the breathtaking Bellagio (1998). After what was considered the largest merger in the gaming industry's history, the Mirage became a part of M G M , Inc. for $6.4 million. Steve Wynn stepped down as Chairman and CEO of the Mirage and set his sights on developing his largest casino resort yet, the Five Diamond Wynn Las Vegas. Wynn Resorts, Ltd. owns and operates the Wynn Las Vegas and the Wynn Macau, a casino resort located in the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic...

...“The Collapse” Mark Beasley (30 March 2010) Extract: Bill Wrinkle had it all; he was the leader of one of the most powerful financial institutions in the world, he had the respect (and some might say fear) of his rivals and colleagues and he had the beautiful wife and house. Bill had come from the tough streets of New York armed only with what many competitors called “cunning street smarts” and a propensity to bully and intimidate. He was lauded by the press as a pioneer in the “new economy” expanding his company into new exotic financial products and business lines as well as moving his firm into geographic locations not entered by foreigners before. However, that was all about to change as his life’s work began to crumble and fall all around him in the autumn of 2008. His days of enormous risk-taking and swaggering bravado was about to lead him and some 50,000 employees down a precipitous path to eventual destruction. “How had it come to this?” It was an unseasonably warm evening on the 5th of September 2008 when the lights of Bill Wrinkle’s midnight blue Mercedes lit up the forecourt of his expansive Greenwich, Connecticut home. Of all the palatial mansions that lined the treehugged streets of this part of the world, Bills was by far the most spectacular – a 12 bedroom oasis with tennis court, indoor squash court (which the talented player used almost daily), a 50metre infinity pool, and, enough land to host some of the more grander social gatherings of New Yorks...

...Mass Communication and Para-social Interaction Donald Horton and R. Richard Wohl Extract from Horton, Donald and R. Richard Wohl (1956): 'Mass Communication and Para-social Interaction: Observations on Intimacy at a Distance', Psychiatry 19: 215-29 This is a classic paper which is very widely cited but hard to locate. It introduced the notion of 'parasocial interaction' between viewers and those whom they watch on the television screen. Although the paper is now very old it is useful to reflect on current television programmes to consider the relevance of Horton and Wohl's observations. The original page numbering has been noted to facilitate citation. Please refer to the pagination provided and the source shown above (Horton and Wohl 1956) rather than citing this online extract. [start of p. 215] One of the striking characteristics of the new mass media - radio, television, and the movies - is that they give the illusion of face-to-face relationship with the performer. The conditions of response to the performer are analogous to those in a primary group. The most remote and illustrious men are met as if they were in the circle of one's peers; the same is true of a character in a story who comes to life in these media in an especially vivid and arresting way. We propose to call this seeming face-to-face relationship between spectator and performer a para-social relationship. In television, especially, the image which is presented makes available nuances of appearance...

...Blues vs Country music According to Etta James in an interview with American Chronicle: "The Blues and country are first cousins ... What I look for in a song is for the story to be for real. I like a blood and guts kind of thing. That's what you find in the lyrics of country music." Blues and country music both developed in the 19th century in the Southern United States. They share a similar history. For this reason, they share many of the same musical and lyrical characteristics. Read more: How to Compare Blues & Country Music | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/how_5888119_compare-blues-country-music.htInstructions 1. * 1 Learn the history behind blues and country music. They are both forms of American folk music influenced by earlier styles brought overseas. Blues music grew out of field hollers and chants sung by African slaves. Irish and Scottish balladeers borrowed the guitar and banjo of blues and thus created "country". According to Reebee Garofalo in "Rockin' Out: Popular Music in the USA", "Terms like country and blues are only used to separate the same kind of music made by blacks and whites ... designations like race and hillbilly intentionally separated artists along racial lines and conveyed the impression that their music came from mutually exclusive sources." Country is an offshoot of blues. They are essentially the same thing. In the PBS special, "Rhythm, Country and Blues," country is referred to as "white man's blues." * 2 Listen to...
