...9-399-150 REV: MAY 3, 2005 CHRISTOPHER A. BARTLETT MEG WOZNY GE's Two-Decade Transformation: Jack Welch's Leadership On September 7, 2001, Jack Welch stepped down as CEO of General Electric. The sense of pride he felt about the company's performance during the previous two decades seemed justified judging by the many accolades GE was receiving. For the third consecutive year, it had not only been named Fortune's "Most Admired Company in the United States," but also Financial Times' "Most Admired Company in the World." And, on the eve of his retirement, Fortune had named Welch "Manager of the Century" in recognition of his personal contribution to GE's outstanding 20 year record. Yet while the mood at GE's 2001 annual meeting had clearly been upbeat, some shareholders wondered whether anyone could sustain the blistering pace of change and growth characteristic of the Welch era. And specifically, many worried if any successor could generate the 23% per annum total shareholder return Welch had delivered in his two decades leading GE. It would be a tough act to follow. (See Exhibit 1 for financial summary of Welch’s era at GE.) The GE Heritage Founded in 1878 by Thomas Edison, General Electric grew from its early focus on the generation, distribution, and use of electric power to become, a hundred years later, one of the world’s leading diversified industrial companies. A century later, in addition to its core businesses in power generation, household appliances...

...HISTORY In July 1974, the International Electronics and Technical Institute, Inc. was born. It was formally incorporated and duly registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It established its first school on the second floor of the Galvez Building at Taft Avenue Extension in Pasay City and started operations in school year 1974-75 offering one and two- year course in electronics. In 1975, the Institute opened schools in Cubao and Makati. The Makati School, located on the mezzanine floor of the Guadalupe Commercial Complex at first, offered only courses in electronics, later it expanded to include electricity, radio communications, refrigeration, automotive, typing and stenography among its course offerings. IETI Cubao, located on the fifth floor of the Dona Victoriana building at EDSA corner New York St. also began with electronics courses specializing in radio and television.

...A GPS Monster Texas A&M University Abstract GPS is a widely used phenomenon that seems to have no boundaries. From finding the quickest route home through traffic to alerting the authorities on missing persons’ whereabouts, both can be attributed to GPS implementation to almost all electronic devices. These so called shortcuts in life that this innovation brings us are limitless, but I firmly believe that we still need to be educated on the concepts for which it was created. It is a scary thought to think that the upcoming generation could be sent back to the Stone Age with a simple flip of the switch. Using innovation to enhance our lives is gratifying is nothing else, but let us not allow our total existence to be determined through our iPhone. Maps, what are those? You will not need maps where we are going. At any given moment we are somewhere according to a specific fixed location, unless you are on the fixed point then you are here. The literal point is that since 1997 anyone with a synced device with a relay transponder has the ability to precisely locate anything or anyone that has the transponder. This system of tracking locations is called a global positioning system, GPS. “Eighteen satellites, six in each of three orbital planes spaced 120º apart, and their ground stations, formed the original GPS. GPS uses these "man-made stars" or satellites as reference points to calculate geographical positions, accurate to a matter of meters” (Bellis)...

...You are the news director of a local television station. The city council has just voted to close city parks 3 days a week to save money. Meanwhile, a major celebrity has died. The park story has greater effect on your viewers, but the celebrity death will get bigger ratings? Which do you make your lead story and why? o Your news organization is owned by a massive corporation that also owns an electronics company. It has learned that the refrigerators the electronics company makes are fire hazards and have destroyed several homes. How do you cover the story and how do you acknowledge that you are owned by the same corporation? o You are the chief editor of a large metropolitan daily newspaper. One of your reporters is caught fabricating sources and making up facts. How do you handle the situation, from disciplining the reporter to explaining it to your readers? . Solve the problem using what you have learned. Solutions must be realistic. If you think cable news networks do not have enough foreign coverage, for example, it is not enough to say you will simply hire more reporters. You must say where that money will come from. Be creative, both in the identification of the problem and, especially, in the solution. . Include the following: o The role of media in delivering news to the public o The significance of immediate news media delivery on culture o The social responsibilities of news media. o Ethical and legal considerations...

...ventures – chemical, electronics, ceramics, and construction materials. The diversification into the various industries as noted above was very successful, as by the 1950 to early 1970’s following the second world-war Asahi’s glass and construction materials business accounted for more than 50% of its total revenue, and its chemical business at 40% and other business segments including electronics and ceramics contributing to 10% of the company’s total revenue. By 1992, the company’s glass (flat glass) business segment contributed 56% of total sales and revenue making it the most profitable segment out of the four diversification business segments. I believe AGC’s diversification was much needed post the second world-war, as it helped serve as the foundation to emerging technologies and manufacturing of newer consumer products – cements, automotive lighting, paints, chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons – CFC for refrigerators and air conditioners. Following the oil crisis in the early 1990’s, AGC management – then President Mr. Sakabe decided to focus on the company’s electronic segment business because of its growth potential and having some expertise in the electronic industry. Furthermore, AGC top management had a goal of developing electronics to generate 10% of the company’s revenue within the next 10-years after its decision in the early 1990’s to focus on the electronics industry. In hindsight, the decision to focus on the electronics segments proved to be...

...Walmart’s Sustainability Strategy Case Study Question 1: “How is the company deriving value from its sustainability practices?” Walmart has been deriving value from its sustainability strategy through multiple factors. First of all, Walmart was able to create value by introducing new revenue streams from sustainable projects. For example the recycling initiative would create revenue stream that would otherwise not have been realized. Walmart has also created value by creating transparency within its own supply chain. By being directly involved with its suppliers, it was able to manage its supply chain. Walmart’s goal via its networks was to influence stakeholders, primarily its suppliers, to initiate sustainable practices that would be in line with Walmart’s values. By doing so, Walmart has to monitor every supply chain participants, and by doing so, they were able to eliminate redundant channels in the process. For example, instead of having a product manufactured and assembled in two different countries, Walmart was able to eliminate unnecessary channels by understanding the process, and thus creating a more efficient supply chain that is both innovative and cost effective. Another thing that they did was their overall cost reduction in the value chain processes. It was able to reduce inefficiencies in packaging, transportation, and waste, among other factors. By doing so, it sees the potential cost reduction in the long run. Furthermore, Walmart derived...

...books. This is good business to them and they also show that by replacing paper books with electronic devices it helps the environment by cutting the usage of paper. By making strategic planning of lowering prices and giving what the costumer asks for it helps it gains popularity. Lowering prices offering discounts and many other stuff may not help them financially meaning that they won’t make a lot of profit of their products but in the sales business is not how fast you expand it but how much costumers you have. Costumers will be the main priority in a business because it will help you or destroy you. The foundation of amazon was built on the ability to transform. It has proven that when opportunities arise to serve new or existing customers, it manages to adapt new businesses while extracting value on existing ones. Amazon is planning a major roll-out of an online grocery business that it has been quietly developing for years, targeting one of the largest retail sectors yet to be upended by e-commerce. It could outperform similar online grocery services by delivering orders for higher margin items like electronics at the same time. This initiative will expand amazon in many ways. By having warehouses that storage food and also have space to storage general merchandise products will be more appealing to costumers because they will know that they will have their grocery and their general products that same day.

...Technology in Restaurants Julio Olla COM/172 April 5th, 2012 Davine Jones Technology in Restaurants Technology is impacting the restaurant industry because dependency on computers is the remarkable key to run the business. Computers in restaurants are the key to create the experience that experts want to introduce to guests, to support the changes of a modern society and the information technology that is constantly changing; we are the consumers of a competitive world of technology. The technology that is being used in the business has become innovative and to take a look back on how restaurants ran before technology hit the industry is remarkable. Computers The biggest change in the restaurant business since the creation and introduction of the stove controlled by gas and the electric refrigerator is the implementation of computers (Mandabach, Blanch, Van Leeuwen, & Waters, 2006) “The restaurant industry is no longer a business of cigar boxes and order pads. In most cases restaurant managers use more technology than we used to send men to the moon” (Hamilton, 2004). The transcendental innovation of technology has created a competitive system between experts in the field and the philosophy to avoid looking back in time when restaurants used to run with just a kitchen and a few tables. Comparing the experience of a visit to a modern eating establishment with the same basic hospitality atmosphere versus a more typical restaurant, the chances are that thanks to the...
