McElroy's purposes were not malign -- save for the simple reality that he did knowingly hack into a private, government no less, computer system. McElroy's purpose was simple: he wanted to appropriate the bandwidth storage capacity of an online computer network in order to store hundreds of gigabytes of pirates music, movies, and software that he and his friends could share (Leyden, 2004; Teen hacker, 2004)
Whether or not the enhanced coordination between these agencies as well as the increased security measures at the Department of Defense will deter or help ward off cyber-attacks is, as of yet, unclear. Case Study #2: Fermilab File-Sharing Fiasco In June 2002, computer system administrators at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago, Illinois discovered that an unidentified hacker had broken into the computer system at the laboratory (Van, 2003)
Though the immediate suspects were Russian, there has been no definitive proof that Russia as a nation had anything at all to do with the attacks on the Department of Defense computer systems. It could have easily been civilians in Russia, another nation cleverly obscuring its tracks, or an individual anywhere in the world bouncing through a computer server in Russia before launching the attack (Vistica, 1999; Bridis, 2001)
I'll just wait for Jill." Most everyone was happy with the situation and considered the arrangement just one of the ways the bank tried to customize responses to our customers (Bolman & Deal, 1997)
The scenario described a situation in which a supervisor did not consult with a middle manager in order to understand the background and the rationale for what she perceived was a problem (Senge, 1990). In my efforts to avoid this type of destructive confrontation in the future, I requested that Deborah and I meet regularly to discuss how the new position was going with regard to customer response, Jill's performance, and the profitability of the branch (Kaufman, 2003)
Up until the point of Deborah's interfering outburst, Jill and all the other branch employees were confident of Jill's unique and important contribution to the mission of the bank. The all shared a commitment to providing the best possible service to the bank's customers (Monaghan, 2001)
As a side note, Jill, the other tellers, and I work diligently to maintain friendly relationships, but also to ensure that our opportunities to fraternize do not result in favoritism. The scenario described a situation in which a supervisor did not consult with a middle manager in order to understand the background and the rationale for what she perceived was a problem (Senge, 1990)
"Respecting and valuing diversity: Diverse cultures, traditions, and perspectives are sources of strength and creativity that community partners can draw on to nurture healthy families and children." (Morgan, Spears, & Kaplan, 2003, pg
The Starbucks marketing mix supports the stores as a hub of personal activity and exceptional customer service, from the hundreds of drink combinations customers can order down to the high-end food items. As the case mentions, Starbucks is considering offering wine, cheese and other high-end food items in the evening (Kotler, Armstrong, 2013)
The intent of this analysis is to analyze how each of these two companies vary from a marketing standpoint, and how those differences are continually perpetuated in their approach to managing the marketing mix. Of the two, Starbucks is basing their marketing, selling and customer retention strategies on the concept of delivering a unique customer experience and a "third place" where customers can feel free to meet friends and relax (Plog, 2005)
The many promotions they run in their target markets are careful to stay in the mainstream of supporting their customers' core values of a strong work ethic and blue-collar beginnings (Schmidt, Oldfield, 1999). Contrasting this is are the promotional strategies of Starbucks that concentrates on accentuating the uniqueness and status of their customers, while also underscoring their need to be recognized as accomplished individuals (Reast, 2005)
As the case mentions, Starbucks is considering offering wine, cheese and other high-end food items in the evening (Kotler, Armstrong, 2013). Contrasting this high end customer experience strategy is Dunkin' Donuts, a chain more focused on the functional aspects of coffee and baked goods and a commitment to customers to be true to their core values (Schmidt, Oldfield, 1999)
Several CU administrators and faculty members lost their jobs, financial settlements were reached out of court, and major policy changes were implemented (Sander 2007). LensCrafters The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed suit on behalf of lab technician William Sheard against his employer LensCrafters and its parent company Luxottica Group after Sheard's allegations of harassment by his female colleague went uninvestigated for more than a year (Jamieson 2011)
The suit ended with an award of $34 million paid by MMMA and the adoption of a zero tolerance towards sexual harassment by the company, which itself is subject to review by an independent board (BHRRC 2009). Two separate cases, later consolidated, were filed against the University of Colorado by women who alleged that they were sexually harassed, assaulted, and gang raped by CU football players and prospective players at a recruiting party (Sander 2007)
Speaking from the position of not knowing what Tata actually did, it is clear that Tata would have to go through an adjustment period with the acquisition as the cultural differences, the business factors and so forth all have to be melded and shaped together in the right way. Doing otherwise would lead to what OBI went through in China (Bajaj, 2015)
In other words, Tata was doing the same thing as the other conglomerates had done prior but they were "late to the party," so to speak. However, there was at least still some merger and acquisition room for them to get into the market and they did so (BBC, 2000)
This misstep seemed to have been proven by the fact that people who shopped the store were there as tourists rather than consumers. The required integration during the combination phases mentioned in the PowerPoint clearly did not happen properly nor were they properly planned in advance (Biesada, 2012)
The blowback from the local Chinese workers was swift and vicious, as made clear by the case study. This is a perfect example of "significant resistance" and "possible value destruction" as mentioned on the synergy PowerPoint (LaMonica, 2014)
4% to be precise. This figure, given the country's population, represents a significantly large number of people who are willing and able to work at the prevailing wage rate but cannot secure jobs (Salman, 2011)
In essence, the family begins to walk on eggshells. Counseling Interventions The recommended treatment approach for anxiety disorders is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with adults benefitting the most from individual therapy and children benefitting from either individual or group sessions (Armstrong, 2014)
