...million dollar contract for his services. As a Washington Bullets team current player, his manager extends an invitation to this team first. He receives an offer from their organization; it is far below what he is looking to obtain. He decides to look elsewhere. Miami Heat offers him a deal that was too good to be true. They offered $100.8 million, seven-year contract with nice incentives; Juwan Howard agrees to their terms and signs their contract. Prematurely, there is excitement by the new agreement that he thinks is binding (Asher & Brubaker, 2007). The Bullets’ General Manager, Wes Unseld would soon hear back that the contract was invalidated by the basketball league in which they were governed by. The forward, Howard would continue with the Washington Bullets although arbitration takes place. In the end, the decision is made in favor of the Washington Bullets. In this paper, Learning Team B will take the reader through the tangible and intangible benefits, costs, and risks that took place for Juwan Howard, the Miami Heat, and the Washington Bullets- who would later to be known as the Washington Wizards (Asher & Brubaker, 2007). Benefits: Tangibles and Intangibles Evaluating the Power Play for Howard case study from the perspective of stakeholder benefits enables one to understand easily why the stakes were so high in the negotiation process. For Juwan Howard, a $105 million contract with the Washington Bullets would not only mean he gets to continue to stay in Washington...

...isn’t it because he is trying to ward off deadly force to defend himself or the public against those rare situations, such as threats of death or serious bodily injury? So why are we as leaders, standing for MP to carry a lethal weapon that does not have a round in the chamber? The time it takes to load a round in the chamber of a empty weapon may cost that MP or innocent bystander their life. I feel that we train very hard to become certified to be able to use and carry a weapon without ball ammunition in the chamber, (MPFQC, 2010). And with this unloaded weapon, our MP risk their life to protect the life’s of those on the installation with an unloaded firearm. If it was not for the recent change in policy to authorize MP to use hollow points, one could say that with no round in the chamber and...

...1997 in his sophomore season, besides becoming a Superstars, he was the highest paid basketball among other players, but the NBA voided his contract soon after. Howard had no choice but to return to the Bullets, signing a contract for seven-year that was worth $100 million. During this case study, the learning team B will evaluate the costs, benefits and risk of negotiation from the perspective of all parties associated with the case study analysis of “Power Play for Howard”. Case Summary The Miami Heat felt that having Juwan Howard on their team would take them to victory since they had not win for the last 6 years. Juwan Howard talent would definitely increase the chances of having a good year in winning. However, keeping Alonzo Mourning another talented player was important to the team also, therefore, Riley promised him “ to make him the highest paid player on the team” which conflicted with Howard’s contract. The NBA identified a problem with the negotiation of Howard’s contract. They observed an overpayment of four million, which exceeded the salary caps. This overpayment comes with a $5 million penalty to the team. So, the NBA dissolved Howard’s contract before he was able to sign it. In the mean time, Howards’s agent (David Falk) was negotiating with the Bullets, while this confusion was going on,...

...------------------------------------------------- The Ballot or the bullet Malcolm X Cory Methodist Church Cleveland, Ohio April 3, 1964 Garret Feucht COM 250 – Prof. Heins 10/29/15 Garret Feucht COM 250 – Prof. Heins 10/29/15 (Daniels, 2014) The Ballot or the Bullet is the title of one of the many speeches given by human rights activist Malcolm X. In his speech he focuses on the oppression of the African American, and how African Americans are able to stand up against the illegal segregation. Malcolm also focuses on the African American’s right to vote, and how effective each vote actually is. He also warns the government that if he and his people are not able to vote that they may have to take up arms. The Ballot or the Bullet is among one of Malcolm’s most famous speeches being ranked at number seven in a Top 100 list of speeches in the 20th century. (News, 2008) On May 19, 1925 Malcolm Little was born to parents Earl and Louise Little the fourth of seven children. Born in Omaha, Nebraska the Little family shortly after moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and then to Lansing, Michigan to avoid any further harassment from the Ku Klux Klan. In 1929, just four years after Malcolm was born, the LIttle family house was burned down. This was no accident it was believed to have been burned by members of the Black Legion. At the age of six Malcolm’s father passed away in an automobile accident. Rumors spread that Earl had been murdered by white racists. His mother believed...

...have put an end to America’s inquiries. Was there a conspiracy? Arlen Specter, the Warren Commission Assistant Counsel member states in his single bullet theory. “The civility of one bullet having inflicted wounds both on the President’s neck, and the governor’s body came in a very gradual way. For example, the first insight was given when Doctor Hues testified based on his autopsy findings, and at that time it was made clear for the first time that the bullet that went through the President’s neck hit no bone, hit no solid muscle, and according to Doctor Hues, it came out with great velocity. Now it was at that juncture that we wondered for the first time, what happened to the bullet? Where did the bullet go? The probability is that it went into governor Connally, because it struck nothing else in the car. That is the single most convincing piece of evidence; that the one bullet hit both men, because looking down the trajectory, as I did through Oswald’s own rifle, as I did and as others did too. The Trajectory was such that it was almost certain that the bullet that which came out of the President’s neck with great velocity would have had to hit either the car or someone in the car.” (JFK assassination Arlen Specter speaks about the single bullet theory, n.d.) Before the research I established that the, “Single Bullet Theory” to be propaganda fabricated by the government to quiet the simple person’s inquiries about the true happenings of the assassination.

...A Power to Play for Howard is a case study about a 23 year old basketball player facing a difficult decision of negotiating a contract of a lifetime between the Washington Bullets and Miami Heat basketball teams. On July 11 Howard arrives at the headquarters of agent David Falk in Chevy Chase Pavilion to solicit a $100 million contract offers from National Basketball Association team executives. Initially Howards’ aspiration was to continue as a member with the Washington Bullets; except he needed to believe he was a commodity to the franchise and a higher paying contract offer would determine how loyal the franchise is to him. The fans of the Washington Bullets made Howard feel like he was the best player the team has ever had, except the executives were not willing to offer him a contract worth his market value. Howard learned he had to leave a team and city that he has learned to call home and move on to a new beginning in a city that he was not familiar with. The offer from Riley the team executive of Miami Heat welcomed Howard and he also felt appreciated. Howard’s target was to solicit a $100 million contract from team executives. The first offer of $78.4 million contract from the Unseld the general manager of the Washington Bullets was Howard’s resistant point. The offer from Unseld was one that Howard was not willing to negotiate. He initially dismissed the contract. One should consider Howard’s target goal of $100 million, although neither of the team executives...

...Case Study Collection Assignment Case studies may be from a variety of types of organizations (financial, advertising, manufacturing, online, service, acquisition, retention), or you may focus more specifically on an area of special interest or relevance to you. Focusing on an area is highly encouraged. Focusing on one area usually produces a higher quality article. The majority of studies should be recent (post 2008) and should contain enough detail to allow evaluation of the manner in which the use of analytics enabled the organizations to reach their goals. Eric Seigal's book as well as Davenport and Harris book are good sources for this assignment. You can also use your own research to select case studies with a common theme that may span outside of these two books. However, utilize peer-reviewed cases (for example, cases from a journal like INFORMS Transactions on Education) instead of self-published marketing cases. A minimum of 5 Cases should be discussed. Well established areas should include more than 5 articles. A summation of the case studies will display your understanding of the relationship between the theories presented in the readings and the real-life examples presented in the case studies. Questions to be addressed in the summation paper include (but are not limited to): - What was the ultimate value of the analytics for the organizations? - How was the appropriate analytic approach selected? - How was data collected, and how were data quality issues...

...advances in military technology during the Civil war. A significant amount of them had to do with military technology. Some of these were the rifled musket, the ironclad ships and the military tactics called Total War. The rifled musket was one of the most significant advancements during the Civil War because of its design and also the new ammo it used called “Minie ball Bullets.” These bullets were not actually balls. During the civil war this was the first time the ammo in guns had switched from a ball to the more commonly known cone shape. The cone shape bullets are more aerodynamic and they can also penetrate more easily. Since these bullets were more aerodynamic they had a range of 500yds compared to revolutionary muskets, which had a range of 100yds and revolution cannons that only had a range of 400yds. These new rifles were able to engage artillery positions before artillery engaged the infantry. I plan on using this source in my essay because it helps prove the point that some of the weapons and concepts in the civil war have been applied to weaponry that are still used today. And I feel that I could use this article to help prove the point that the Civil War had a huge impact on wars to come.
