Under Armour’s core products were performance sport apparel, footwear, and accessories. Its main market is North America (95% of its revenue). Now, it is the second largest sports apparel companies in the U.S. I. Ownership and Control i. Ownership 1. In the quarterly report ended at Sep. 30, 2014, Under Armour reported 213.25M shares outstanding and Under Armour’s executives and directors as a group held 38.75M shares of company stocks, accounting 18.17% of the total shares outstanding (69.7% voting power.) Compared with other companies in our group, only Under Armour and Ralph Lauren were still run by its original founder. Both companies issued special voting shares to its CEO. Because of its CEO’s special identity to the company, these two companies were owned by insiders from the perspective of control power. 2. According to J3 Information Service Website, institutional investors held about 141.76M shares of Under Armour, accounting 66.48% of the total shares outstanding. Institutional investors accounted for Under Armour’s shares were relatively low, compared with other companies in our group.

The Automotive Electronic Industry R & D Electronics Company is an established manufacturer and has been designing, manufacturing, and supplying electrical supplies in various forms to the automotive industry. The worldwide market for semiconductors in the automotive electronics industry exceeds $10 billion. In addition, wireless data delivery – currently is estimated to be a $20 billion industry, and experts predict that soon 50 percent of all new cars and 90 percent of higherend models will possess telematic-capable devices. Further, many experts estimate that 30 to 40 percent of the production value of all automobiles consist of electrical products. R & D Electronics historically has invested heavily in researching and developing auto-motive electronic technology in order to provide customers with state-of-the-art functionality, safety, and performance. R&D Electronics continues its heavy investment in this research and development arena because the resulting product features quickly devolve from being “cutting edge” features that create a competitive advantage to commodities that customers regard as standard features on all automobiles. R&D Electronics has continued to upgrade its research and development and manufacturing abilities to keep pace with changing technologies. For instance, R&D Electronics designs, produces, and installs...

...Construct of Market Orientation by Dr. Kevin McCormack President DRK Research and Consulting LLC Kmccormack@drkresearch.org tel.205-733-2096 fax 205-733-2094 2232 Baneberry Dr. Birmingham, AL 35244 March, 1999 ABSTRACT Interdepartmental and cross functional interaction are proposed to be critical to business success in today’s environment. Interdepartmental dynamics, a component of the Kohli and Jaworski market orientation framework, has been shown to influence market orientation and business performance. Several concepts have developed recently relating to and possibly further defining these components of market orientation. These are concepts of the business process orientation of an organization and the impact on interdepartmental and cross functional interaction. This study develops the construct of business process orientation (BPO) as it relates to interdepartmental dynamics. It also develops and validates the measures for BPO and tests the proposed relationship of BPO to interdepartmental dynamics. Copyright( - Property of Dr. Kevin McCormack.

...Abstract Raves have historically referred to grass-roots organized, anti-establishment and unlicensed all night dance parties, featuring electronically-produced dance music (EDM), such as techno, house, trance and drum and bass. Since their late 1980s origins in the U.K., raves have gained widespread popularity and transformed dramatically. Consequently, their many cultural traits and behaviors have garnered much sociological interest, which mostly falls into two competing perspectives: cultural studies and public health. In this paper, we review what raves look like today compared to their high point in the 1990s. We then discuss how the cultural studies and public health perspectives define raves and have studied them over time, focusing on the “pet” sociological concepts each has sought to advance. Our analysis of these literatures reveals important differences in rave research by country and over time. We end by discussing the politics associated with the shift in rave research. Introduction Society has been greatly influenced by many alternative scenes, subcultures, or lifestyles oriented around music, youth and young adults (Epstein 1998). Some of the more notable ones include the English punk scene in the 1970s- 1980s, the U.S. jazz (1930s-1940s) and hippie scenes (1970s), and the 1990s rave scenes in the U.K. and U.S. From them have come musical innovation, social identity, fashion and other aesthetic nuances, and mainstream and alternative cultural production...

...[pic] Resolution of the World Health Organization After meeting in Geneva in May 2003 for the Fifty-Sixth World Health Assembly, the WHO outlined its Global Initiative for the Elimination of Avoidable Blindness, or VISION 2020 plan. The WHO urges national governments to: • Set up, not later than 2005, a national VISION 2020 plan, in partnership with the WHO and in collaboration with NGOs and the private sector. • Establish a national coordinating committee for VISION 2020 or a national blindness prevention committee, which may include consumer or patient groups, to develop and implement the plan. • Commence implementation of such plans by 2007 at the latest. • Include effective information systems with standardized indicators and periodic monitoring and evaluation, with the aim of showing a reduction in the magnitude of avoidable blindness by 2010. • Mobilize resources for eliminating avoidable blindness. In turn, the WHO agrees to: • Maintain and strengthen the WHO’s collaboration with governments and all partners of the initiative. • Ensure coordination of the implementation of the VISION 2020 plan, by setting up a monitoring committee grouping all those involved, including national government representatives. • Provide support for strengthening national capability, especially through development of human resources, to coordinate, assess, and prevent avoidable blindness...

...of Pittsburgh Although there exists a large and well-documented “race gap” between whites and blacks in their support for the death penalty, we know relatively little about the nature of these differences and how the races respond to various arguments against the penalty. To explore such differences, we embedded an experiment in a national survey in which respondents are randomly assigned to one of several argument conditions. We find that African Americans are more responsive to argument frames that are both racial (i.e., the death penalty is unfair because most of the people who are executed are black) and nonracial (i.e., too many innocent people are being executed) than are whites, who are highly resistant to persuasion and, in the case of the racial argument, actually become more supportive of the death penalty upon learning that it discriminates against blacks. These interracial differences in response to the framing of arguments against the death penalty can be explained, in part, by the degree to which people attribute the causes of black criminality to either dispositional or systemic forces (i.e., the racial biases of the criminal justice system). he conventional wisdom on public opinion toward the death penalty in the United States, as summarized nicely by Ellsworth and Gross, is that people “feel strongly about the death penalty, know little about it, and feel no need to know more” (1994, 19). As a consequence of these feelings, the authors argue, attitudes tend...

My recent teaching has been in Rensselaer’s resident MBA program (both full and parttime), Professional and Distance Education Program and undergraduate programs. My research and teaching have made important contributions to efforts to build the marketing and management and technology curricula in the School of Management at Rensselaer and at other universities who have adopted our teaching materials. As a pioneer in interactive leaning material on product development and manufacturing, I have developed several interactive multimedia cases and collaborated on the development of simulations designed to teach marketing principles and bridge management and engineering disciplines. The simulations teach marketing, design and manufacturing concepts by exposing students to tradeoffs inherent in new product development. They help provide an understanding of design, manufacturing, and marketing decisions, as well as cash and investment flows, inventory management, and product planning. These materials have been used by several universities in the U.S. and abroad, as well as in the training...
