...1. J.M. Smucker's corporate strategy is to grow its existing brands, introduce new products, and make strategic acquisitions. These three goals are focused on the North American market. Across its brands, Smucker’s aims to be the number one product in every product line in which they compete. The company expanded beyond jams, and jellies to protect it from becoming an acquisition of a larger firm. By expanding, Smucker’s has made itself less likely to necessitate selling off the brand by increasing both cash flow and size. The company has been very successful so far in expanding purchasing number one brands and increasing both revenues and profits by large margins along with an increase in stock price. Smucker’s decision to expand the business has been a successful one. 2. Smucker’s list of acquisitions and brands reads off like an all-star team, Pillsbury, Smucker’s, Jif, Folgers, Dunkin Donuts, Hungry Jack, Crisco… Smucker’s has been careful to purchase only well established and successful brands and focused on leading brand names. The company decided it is better to acquire already established brands than to build a new brand from scratch. Smucker’s brands are positioned as the leading brands in many of the processed foods segments in which they compete. Folgers is the leading coffee (with Dunkin Donuts on its heels), Crisco is the leading cooking oil, Smucker’s leads in fruit spreads, Knudsen leads in health and natural beverages, and Jif leads in peanut...

...1) Ranking the projects simply by inspecting the cash flows is possible, but in order for us to find accurate and true measurement we shouldn't solely evaluate the company's cash flow. One of the reasons that we shouldn't solely use the cash flows is because the projects' cash flow are not all in the same time point; the dollar value today might not be the same in fifteen years later. Thus we need to have all of the cash flows in the same time period. Besides that, as stated in the table(Exhibit 1), Project 3 has the highest sum of cash flow benefits yet the payback is not accomplished until fifteen years later. Project 7, however, have the second lowest sum of cash flow benefits it's payback period starts during the second year. 2) There are a few criteria's that I might use to rank the projects such as the projects' payback period, its IRR, its average income, or its NPV. Also there different quantitative ranking methods that I would use, for example, Net Present Value, Payback Rule, Internal Rate of Return, and Average Accounting Return. Out of the four methods, NPV is going to result better because it is usually the best method for capital budgeting. IRR will only works when the projects have a series of cash flow, but we have a few project that have either one cash flow or no more than three cash flows. Payback period usually ignores the time value of money, as I stated in the first question, we need to have the value of money all on the same time period in order to...

Abstract As we all know that education is crucial in the development of any country. The main focus of this research is to identify the problems faced by working women in education sector. We discovered that most of the parents and certain relatives are supportive towards their daughter serving in the education sector. All our respondents strongly believed that the married women face greater challenges than unmarried women. Although their husbands are co-operative but there children are prominently neglected. Despite the supportive attitude of their parents unmarried women still face challenges like transportation and managing time between personal and social life.

...Student Name：Taiyang Zhang Banner ID：@01278901 Professor Name：Manjit Kaur Subject: Freshman composition II Date: 09/05/2013 Class: 1023-002 Background of the myths debunked in the NASA-episode Introduction Moon landing has always been a captivating topic around the world. Since its occurrence in 1969 it has brought phenomenal gory to the U.S aeronautical programs and inspired faith and beliefs amongst people that anything is possible. Indeed, moon landing is arguably, the greatest of all the technological advances if the 20th century. However, there are arguments among the general public, scholar and even some aeronautical scientists that the moon landing was faked. Indeed there are a number of conspiracy theorists who believe that NASA faked the 1969 moon landing. These theorists have based their arguments on the political climate of the time with regard for the need to triumph over Soviets and some inconsistencies in the NASA pictorial footage on TV and Photos. However, to understand the basis of arguments in disputing the reality of NASA moon landing, it is important to study the background of the myth in accordance to NASA. Origins of the Myths One of the renowned scientific critic Kaysing & Reid (45) in his book We Never Went to the Moon argues that the mission was a scam. He narrates that after a series of technological problems and disasters, NASA scientists realized that the institution had not gathered enough capability and to deliver...

...According to some scientists, the moon is not a natural satellite rotating around Earth but actually an artificial one. Furthermore, some believe that beneath the lunar surface is a hollow society developed by aliens. Of course, no proof of this exists yet but the evidence continues to grow. MOON CONSPIRACY GETS ATTENTION OF SCIENTISTS There are various conspiracy theories out there but per pass one of the most interesting is the Hollow Moon Hypotheses. In the past, some have thought Earth's satellite was made of cheese or maybe not even real at all. Scientists have easily dismissed those ludicrous claims but the concept of the hollow Moon is beginning to gain traction. Unlike past conspiracies, there seems to be some evidence dating back...

...CASE 17 COSTCO CASE STUDY Case study questions 1. What generic business level strategy (Chapt 5) is Costco pursuing. Explain your choice. Companies that target one or a few segments and try to be the low cost player in that segment are perusing a focus-low cost strategy. Such companies tend to produce a more basic offering that is relatively inexpensive to produce and deliver. This helps to drive down their cost structures. Costco sells a limited range of merchandise in large warehouse type stores. A Costco store has about 3,750 SKU’s compared to the average 124K SKU’s at an average Walmart supercenter. Costco offers consumers the ability to make bulk purchases of basic goods like dog food and breakfast cereal at lower prices than found elsewhere. As of 2011, Costco maintains the number 1 spot in industry inventory turnover ratio, and number 3 in the retail sector. Thus, we can conclude that Costco definitely does a good job tailoring its products to the needs of the segment and, in doing so, is able to successfully undercut the cost structure Walmart achieves with their colossal economies of scale. 2. Describe four functional-level strategies that Costco has implemented to support their business level strategy. Label the function (marketing, production, R&D, etc - see Chapt 4) under which the strategy falls. Human Resources Strategy - Costco pays their employees substantially more than what other competitors in industry as well as the sector pay. Along those same...

...Squidoo – Squidoo has an interesting blog post on why this author believes that the 1969 moon walk was a hoax. With many reasons to back up this argument, this writer uses many scientific and image-proven facts to get this point across. The article is broken down into the following categories, and is able to give evidence for each topic: 1960’s Technology, Time Frame, Photographic evidence analysis, Astronauts on wires, footage we weren’t meant to see, and so on. If you like reading articles that make you question your once strong beliefs, take a gander! Moon Hoax News – Moon hoax News is a blog dedicated to covering the latest in the hoax’ news over the years. Running since 2007, this site is dedicated to these beliefs. This site encouarges readers to delve into their own investigations of the hoax. Covering current issues about the Obama administration to modern day UFO spottings, this blog’s range of topics will keep you browsing. The Conspiracy Behind The Apollo Space Mission – This basic article written by Greg Scott, from the archives of articlebase.com, throws out the obvious (and not so obvious questions to those who are new to the topic) questions such as: Is there a breeze on the Moon? What Happened to the Stars? Keeping it simple, Greg states that it is only fair to be equally critical to both sides of the argument, and “like most conspiracy theorists, proponents of the hoax theory use lots of faulty evidence and misleading pseudo-science.” World History Blog...

...July 20,1969 America won The Space Race as we were the first human or as we know of living beings on the Moon. Although we have proof of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were, in fact on the moon, there are some people who choose to believe and deny that this ever occurred. Their reasons mostly include that the flag was waving in the non-existing breeze. Also, there are no stars in the pictures. Lastly, they believe that the moon landing itself was recorded either deep in Hollywood 0r in Area 51. In the pictures, you see of the lunar module you see there are no stars in the sky. You would assume that in space, of all places there would be tons and tons of stars. Well, Michael Rundle wrote on HuffPost, “The lunar modules skin is by far the brightest thing in the pictures which means the crew had to have a low aperture setting on their cameras. Aperture is the setting on how much light is coming in the camera, the stars are not bright enough to be captured by the camera lens. This statement proves that there shouldn’t be pictures of stars on the moon unless that is the only thing in the picture. A statement like this proves that deniers are incorrect in their assumptions. In addition, most people noticed the flag was waving in the non-existing breeze. Richard Holt wrote in “The Telegraph” “ The flagpole is light, flexible aluminium and continues to vibrate after the astronauts let go, giving the impression of blowing in the wind.’’ In many pictures, you can see the pole...

...The MOBILE MEDIA tours were an initiative of the Ontario Arts Council (OAC) to help build audiences in northern and regional communities of Ontario for independently produced, artist-driven film and video. In 2005, the tour took place over four weekends in April and went to four communities Peterborough, North Bay, Thunder Bay and Sudbury). Each community had a 90-minute screening and a half-day workshop. A promotional poster and program guide, in both official languages, were made available free of charge by OAC to presenters and the public. The program guide included a critical essay contextualizing the MOBILE MEDIA tour within Ontario’s contemporary media arts practice. The practical and comprehensive workshop following each screening was facilitated by a group of media artists, the tour coordinator (Annette Mangaard) and an OAC granting officer. In 2006, the tour was expanded to 11 communities (Attawapiskat, Fort Albany, Guelph, Hamilton, Moose Factory, Moosonee, North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, Timmins, Whitefish Lake First Nation). The screenings consisted of two 30-minute programs, curated through an open call to programmers, and one 30-minute program of work by local artists. The tour was co-presented by local individuals or organizations who provided the venue, screening equipment and volunteer labour and promoted the event to their community. Once again, a promotional poster and program guide were provided by the OAC. Filmmakers, programmers,...
