...Analysis: Albert Fish’s actions can be analyzed from an anthropological, sociological and psychological perspective in order to further understand what led him to such outcomes. First he will be analyzed from an anthropological perspective, which looks at the overriding culture and other factors that resulted in his actions. Early in his childhood, Fish was introduced to violence which led to his sadistic realizations (Brisbon, H. 2007). The culture between 1870 and 1936 in which he lives was a very violent time in America with a lot of violent crimes related to racism and homophobia, making following in those footsteps a very easy option for a person like Albert Fish. Due to the violent historical occurrences, Fish felt as though he was dominant over African American, handicapped and homosexual people, which led him to exploit them as his primary targets (Brisbon, H. 2007). This shows that the culture and society he was brought up in caused Fish to abide dominance against other humans and displayed violence as an easy outlet for that hate which led to the many gruesome assaults and murders he proceeded with throughout his lifetime (Brisbon, H. 2007). The anthropological circumstances contribute to Albert Fish seeing the world through a lens of arrogant entitlement and treating people as targets. Albert fish could also be understood through the lens of sociology. Sociology looks at how members of society interact with one another. To the public, Albert fish was a gentle and...

...Cause and Effect Analysis Identifying the Likely Causes of Problems (Also known as Cause and Effect Diagrams, Fishbone Diagrams, Ishikawa Diagrams, Herringbone Diagrams, and Fishikawa Diagrams.) Find all possible problems. © iStockphoto/ragsac When you have a serious problem, it's important to explore all of the things that could cause it, before you start to think about a solution. That way you can solve the problem completely, first time round, rather than just addressing part of it and having the problem run on and on. Cause and Effect Analysis gives you a useful way of doing this. This diagram-based technique, which combines Brainstorming with a type of Mind Map, pushes you to consider all possible causes of a problem, rather than just the ones that are most obvious. We'll look at Cause and Effect Analysis in this article. About the Tool Cause and Effect Analysis was devised by professor Kaoru Ishikawa, a pioneer of quality management, in the 1960s. The technique was then published in his 1990 book, "Introduction to Quality Control." The diagrams that you create with Cause and Effect Analysis are known as Ishikawa Diagrams or Fishbone Diagrams (because a completed diagram can look like the skeleton of a fish). Cause and Effect Analysis was originally developed as a quality control tool, but you can use the technique just as well in other ways. For instance, you can use it to: * Discover the root cause of a problem. * Uncover bottlenecks in your processes...

...Executive Summary Your company has decided to turn down suppliers who are not fishing in a sustainable manner. This approach to sustainability is superficial. The rejected seafood by your company, not in-line with their sustainability standards, can be readily sold elsewhere. Your company is not providing incentives for the suppliers to reach sustainability goals together. This report provides a recommendation and an implementation plan for your company to achieve their goals while demonstrating true sustainability. With regards to the triple bottom line, your company is focusing their attention on Place (nature) while neglecting the People (suppliers) affected in the change. They intend to increase their profits by differentiating themselves through sustainability but as a fisherman pointed out in the article, it resembles a marketing ploy. Knowing some suppliers would be negatively impacted by the change; Your company did little to ease the transition. In fact, your company made the transition more difficult by moving up the deadline for adopting sustainable practices. The lack of interaction and cooperation between your company and the suppliers makes its sustainability initiative seem questionable. Your company’s competitive strategy is focused differentiation and any organizational actions and stance taken should be derived from its unique proposition. Current state between your company and the suppliers is being managed using a power strategy, leading...

...Offshore Drilling Does anything out weigh the importance of our planet’s health? You would be surprised by the number of people who look the other way when it comes to keeping the planet clean. Offshore drilling is just one of the major environmental issues that has existed for many years and still continues to be a problem. The topic of offshore drilling not only touches on environmental issues but also political, economic, and ethical issues. All of these tie into the huge debate over offshore drilling and its impacts on the environment. But when the human race depends on oil, how can we ignore the fact of drilling for oil off the coast of our land. Investing in greenhouse energy is just one of several ways to help keep the environment clean and continue to get the energy we need. America needs to realize that offshore drilling is a leading factor in pollution and we can’t keep collecting oil like this forever, we need to discontinue this process of drilling off shore and expand our possible options of renewable energy. So you might be asking yourself “how does offshore drilling affect our environment?” It all starts with finding the oil. The oil companies use a system like sonar that sends out waves, these “Seismic waves used to locate oil can harm sea mammals and disorient whales. ExxonMobil recently had to suspend exploration efforts near Madagascar after more than 100 whales beached themselves” (HowStuffWorks). Just the thought of going to your local beach to find...

...Mergers and Acquisitions Introduction Mergers and Acquisitions, and the decrease in activity around this area, is a topic acutely relevant to management consultants and the overall business environment. The number of notifications to the Competition Authority was down thirty per cent in 2009 according to law firm McCann Fitzgerald (Maeve Dineen, Irish Independent, 2010). The facts also show that there was a decrease in the number of transactions in the second quarter of 2010, down to fifty-two to sixty-two, a drop of more than sixteen per cent (www.iicm.ie). A similar trend has continued in subsequent years. This movement is relevant to management consultants as organisations utilise management consultants to assist and advise before, during and after the process: “to draw on their unbiased analysis; to benchmark organisational processes against a range of best practices; to gain perspective and see the ‘big’ picture; and to provide training and related implementation support” (Buono, 2005, pp. 229). Many companies at the present time may be worried or reluctant to begin pursuing such a strategy. However, the use of and experienced and dedicated management consultant can be the difference between expanding their firm and stagnating. These demonstrate the importance of management consultants in the merger and acquisition process and why they are crucial elements for many organisations who elect to pursue such strategies. One recent news story whose management may benefit from...

...J. Coe, MBA, ACFE Educator Associate, CPA, CISA; Jeffrey Coussens, MFA; and John Delaney, DBA, ACFE Educator Associate, CPA, CIA Part II for CONT 5400 at UPR-RP COLLINS REPORTS TO REYNOLDS Collins was proud of his analysis; he told Reynolds the company should bring this machining operation in-house so the profit margin could improve. But Reynolds was cautious. She said it would be prudent for Collins to first find out the firm to which Jones Company had outsourced this machining operation before it used Smith Company; the previous vendor might have been cheaper. She also asked Collins to examine Smith Company's vendor file. Collins discovered that the vendor Jones Company used before Smith Company charged 50 percent less than Smith Company for the same machining operation. He also found that Jones Company had paid Smith Company more than $2 million for outsourced machining the previous year. The vendor file contained all the necessary documentation to establish Smith Company as a valid vendor; however, Smith Company had been added as a vendor after CPI purchased Jones Company. After Reynolds reviewed this information, she told Collins to perform a public records search on Smith Company. Collins found Smith Company's articles of incorporation. The articles listed Tony DeMarco as an officer of Smith Company. DeMarco is Jones Company's production manager and Reynolds recalled seeing in the audit paperwork that DeMarco had approved payment of invoices submitted by Smith Company...

...possibility of creating new water reservoirs to solve this problem. On paper these reservoirs look good. They provide ample supplies of water, while giving people a place to relax and for recreation. But is the cost of the new reservoir worth the damage to the existing ecosystem? One such proposed reservoir, the Marvin Nichols Reservoir, is the center of much debate here in Northeast Texas. The new lake will cover over 72,000 acres of hardwood forest, river bottoms, farmland, and ranchland. With most of the water going to the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex, is the damage to the current ecosystem really necessary? Can the Metroplex enforce more water conservation regulations to save water without expanding their water sources? What will happen to the native plants and animals in the area? All these questions are at the center of a huge debate over the proposed reservoir. Now the Dallas area is one of our nation’s fastest growing areas. From 2010 to 2013 this area has seen a growth rate of 6.0 percent, which brings the current population to just fewer than 7 million people. This Growth can be attributed to the relatively low cost of living in the area. The State of Texas as a whole profited a great deal from the oil and gas industry. These profits have allowed the state to operate without having a state income tax and a low sales tax. This tax rate, along with a low cost of living and a medium cost of housing below $200 thousand, has made this area very attractive and helped push the increase...

...Bear 1 Cesia Bear English 7 Nov 2011 Should Teachers Be Allowed to Say Whatever They Want In a Classroom? For years the topic of whether teachers should be allowed to speak their mind in a classroom, has been a constant issue. There are reports being made on a regular basis arguing this subject. We not only see or hear reports about it, however; we experience it first had without realizing that it is in fact a prominent issue. I myself had never had too much of an opinion on this matter but I do believe that teachers should be allowed to speak freely in a classroom. As citizens of the United States we are all entitled to freedom of speech, whether they are teachers or students. With that being said I do believe there is an appropriate type of classroom, meaning: a public or private school. Is it a university, college, or a high school? Is it a type of classroom that would call for a debate or opinion? There are many things to take into consideration when discussing this topic and we will take a look at a few of the reasons I believe it is perfectly acceptable for teachers to be able to speak their minds. The first thing I want to make note of is The First Amendment, which states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The information Bear2...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Fishes are caught essentially for consumption. However, catching fish happens to be a well-known recreational pastime as well. Recreational fishing is also known as sport fishing. The main motive behind recreational fishing is pleasure or relaxation along with competition in some cases. It should not be mixed with subsistence or commercial fishing. While subsistence fishing is for basic survival, commercial fishing is essentially for profit. In some countries, recreational fishing has various rules as well as regulations to follow and enjoy the process. The regulations that are imposed on recreational fishing include the laws and the licensing restrictions that deal with limiting the procedures by which the fish might be caught. The most typical of these restrictions include prohibition in using nets and using hooks that are not into the mouth. The most usual form of such fishing is done with the aid of line, reel, rod, hooks, etc. These devices should be used along with the huge range of available baits. In order to help the individuals in the act of fishing, devices called terminal tackle are also used widely. The devices that are generally considered under terminal tackle include floats, swivels, weights, etc. These devices usually help to complement the bait that is being presented to the target. Sometimes lures, instead of baits are also used in recreational fishing. Some of the enthusiastic individuals insist...

...recommendation is to launch a mass-market product under a different product line in order to monetize excess inventory and position Neptune to capture more of the North American seafood market share. Going forward Neptune management must be more cautious in matching investment in production to growth in market demands. B. Situation Analysis Summary: Neptune Gourmet Seafood is currently North America’s third largest seafood producer with 4% in market share. Tagged “The Best Seafood on the Water Planet”, Neptune has a reputation to maintain and focuses heavily on its product to keep its customers satisfied. Neptune has done a great job reaching a variety of customer. 30% of revenues from grocery chains, 33% from wholesalers distributing across the U.S., and the remaining third coming from sales to the biggest cruise lines and also choice restaurants within 250 miles of Neptune’s headquarters. Through the situation analysis it is apparent that the root cause for excess inventory is a rapid growth in production capacity due to technological investment but less significant growth in its single high-end market segment (See Root Cause Analysis in Appendix D). The two sides of the decision to either cut prices or introduce a new line are best highlighted by the interests and concerns of Jim Hargrove and Rita Sanchez: (See full Stakeholder...
