...Matt Bagwell Week 7 Assignment 1) “Imagine someone placing your head in a stock. As you stare helplessly ahead, unable to defend yourself, your head is pulled back. Your lower eyelid is pulled away from your eyeball. Then chemicals are poured into the eye. There is pain. You scream and writhe hopelessly. There is no escape. “This is the Draize Test. The test which measures the harmfulness of chemicals by the damage inflicted on the unprotected eyes of conscious rabbits. The test that…cosmetic firms force on thousands of rabbits to test their products…. A healthy society does not inflict violence on the powerless; does not pursue ‘glamour’ at the expense of innocent animals.—The Millennium Guild, The New York Times, advertisement, 2007 Helpless animals are harmed in the process of testing chemicals. As a society we should not be inflicting violence on the innocent to pursue our beauty. Evaluation: As a human I would never harm myself in the pursuit of beauty therefore animals should not be harmed in the process either. 2) “People deserve pay for their labor. Whether you wash cars or transplant hearts, you ought to get paid. African Americans worked hard to build this country, and their sweat produced some of the nation’s great fortunes. But because they were forced to work against their will as slaves, they were never paid. Now the bill is due, and it’s time to give the workers the money they earned. The United States government owes reparations to every living...

...Marketing Management 6805 9.1 Channel Mapping and Pocket Price 1.) How does the overall average pocket price change if the business modify its sales mix to 30 percent direct sales, 40 percent agent-distributor and 30% distributor-retailer. In this scenario if the overall pocket price is changed to 30% direct sales, 40% agent-distributor, and 30% distributor-retailer ther overall pocket price decreases from $4,540 to $3,993. This shows us that the average percent of sales per channel would be lower overall if we adjusted the channels to the above percentages. 2.) How the would the average pocket price change if the business replaced the direct sales channel with the agent-distributor channel such that the sales mix was 60 percent agent-distributor and 40 percent distributor-retailer? In this scenario the pocket price would decrease even further from $4,540 to $1,680. This shows us that eliminating the direct channel reduces the percentage of sales from that channel and thus overall reducing the pocket price, compounded with the increase of the agent distributor channel. 9.2 Marketing Channel Profitability 1.) How does the overall average pocket price change if the business modify its sales mix to 30 percent direct sales, 40 percent agent-distributor and 30% distributor-retailer. In this scenario though the pocket price decreases the Marketing ROI increases from 236% to 262% and in turn results in a higher percent margin of 33.3% from 32.2%. 2.) How the would...

...William Geibel Week 7 assignment XCOMM/285 Tuition reimbursements can be extremely beneficial to our company because it will persuade some of our employees to continue their education and earn bachelor’s degrees in business and communication which will help our company in the long term. The more people who we can get to earn their degree will give us a wider range of people to work with and ideas to choose from.

The SEC became aware and brought up charges on January 13, 2011. The SEC alleged that the accounting scheme occurred because the former CEO, CFO, Senior Vice President/Secretary, Controller, and Director of Financial Services all engaged in accounting fraud by overstating product sales revenues, recording false sales and recognizing false revenues to reflect a higher net worth in order to support the false Sales. All of this ultimately resulted in misstated financials that misrepresented the true operating results for NutraCea’s second and third quarter of fiscal year 2007 and the entire Fiscal Year 2007.

...To whom it may concern, It has been brought to my attention that there have been a significant number of citizens in my community that have become ill with the same symptoms. This new epidemic that is only effecting my community made me a little suspicious of the cause.After researching the situation further I discovered that out burst of illness is may be directly caused by pollution in our environment from a local gas company. The fact that the gas company has been allowed to practice such policies that enabled them to cause this type of effect on our environment and community. From my research I have learned that regulations have been put in place by the E.P.A.( Environmental Protection Agency) to reduce harmful air pollution from the oil and natural gas industry. Within this regulation there is a specific requirement to capture 95% of emissions or volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) from the gas plants. If my research is correct this regulation has clearly been violated in this instance. Some type of action must be taken in this matter before any more citizens are harmed. When researching this issue I made sure to address all possible causes of this outbreak of illnesses. Within my investigation I became aware that this issue it widespread because some gas companies show little to no concern for the effects pollution causes. This is appauling that this is such a huge problem and so little action is being taken to prevent this problem. I believe that such infractions...

...Week 7 Course Project Assignments Deliverable #1: Discuss the organizational structure and how this may have helped the project. The Organizational structure for my project can be classified as a projectized-type organization. The team members in the project are picked from the outside world (like selecting from another team) and for all intensive purposes are hired for this project only and do not knowingly have duties outside this project. The project manager in this situation also has complete control over the team member as it relates to this project and they are only needed for this project. The project was helped by this due to how things were streamlined and made directive. The project manager had control over all aspects of the project and the people working though them. Tasks that needed to be crashed could be with planning aspects available to the project manager as well. Deliverable #2: Discuss how you did on this project and any lessons learned for you. Self reflection – What did you learn? This was my first true class on project management and I found that there are so many aspects to a project that need to be accounted for. There were aspects to both the software and the actual project manager duties that I needed to get more in tune with and feel I was able to make some great strides but there is more to review.

Thus the birth of wireless medical patient monitoring. Monitoring Patient Vital Signs via Mobile Computing Versus In-Patient Visits Mobile monitoring of patient vital signs has become more popular than ever. Imagine being able to monitor your blood pressure, glucose levels (diabetes), your body temperature and many others using mobile technologies that have surfaced today. I remember when a patient would have to make a trip to the doctor’s office to have their vital signs taken. Now vital signs can be recorded and stored on a mobile device, uploaded to a database that can be accessed by the doctor’s office. Storing vital sign stats on mobile devices is light years ahead of having a person physically take those vital have to enter them on a chart and then enter them into a computer system. The mobile technology also saves time by allowing instant access to the data instead of waiting hours. Patients are able to take advantage of the new smartphones and can monitor their own vitals and have a digital record they can share with the doctor anytime. They are also able to chat real-time with the doctor...

...Week 7 Assignment Mark Holzhauser XCOMM/285 10/16/2011 Heather Parker What is Tuition Reimbursement? Simply put, Tuition Reimbursement is a program many companies offer to their employees in which the company reimburses some or all of the tuition fees their employees spend on education. Tuition Reimbursement is a classic win-win scenario. The company gets a better trained, more educated, and often more loyal employee, while the employee receives a subsidized education that may achieve a personal goal and without doubt makes them more marketable in the workforce. Some programs offer reimbursement for books, other expenses, and even a bonus once the employee receives his or her degree. Should we offer tuition reimbursement to our employees? The answer is simple. Yes, we should offer tuition reimbursement to our employees. Starting a tuition reimbursement program is a good idea for both the employee and employer. By helping our employees better themselves we are also helping our company by having more educated employees. We are also creating a more loyal employee. They are less likely to leave the company when they are in a tuition reimbursement program and are more loyal to the company afterwards. We also could attract the best available prospective employees with such a benefit. There is a lot of competition out there vying for the best young employees and we certainly would like to remain competitive in our recruitment efforts. Some examples of companies...
