...Giant Pool of Money Analysis The awful subprime lending crisis is truly one of the most convoluted, wreaking messes conjured by the financial industries in the 20th century. There are so many layers of bad choices and megalomaniacal errors intertwined into this ugly event that picking out just two biases/heuristics to analyze and discuss will surely fail from being a complete analysis. Nonetheless, this is a the task at hand and, though we will not but scratch the surface of this behemoth, teasing out a couple biases will make for a viable illustration and application of the concepts and issues we have discussed thus far in class. The bias that caused the most havoc in this lending crisis scenario was articulated beautifully by Bazarman and Moore as The Confirmation Trap. The Confirmation Trap boils down to whether or not a person merely searches for data that supports the decision they wish to make rather than looking for proper, empirical data to prove the assumption correct. In other words, does a person looking to make a decision actually look to prove their assumption incorrect. Sadly, at nearly every stage and at every level of the subprime lending fiasco there is evidence that all the players fell victim to The Confirmation Trap. Wason writes, “ . . . that obtaining the correct solution necessitates a willingness to attempt to falsify hypotheses, and thus to test those intuitive ideas which so often carry the feeling of certitude.” None of the characters in our...

...Marketing 401 Name of organization: Nikon Corporation Product analysis and strategy Pricing strategy Promotion strategy Distribution strategy Environmental Analysis Nikon operates in a highly competitive consumer and professional optics environment. The product range in this industry starts with consumer level digital cameras then moves through to pro-level film and digital cameras and includes sport and scientific optics such as binoculars and telescopes. There are a number of competitors all pushing for market share. Smaller competitors include Lumix, Olympus, and Leica. Larger, more dominant, competitors include Nikon, Canon, Sony and Pentax. The largest influence of this environment is the economy. Sales are typically directly inline with expendable cash flow of both businesses and consumers. Technological advancements are also a major influence. Although professional optics and cameras tend to have longer shelf lives, consumer level products are expected to advance a much quicker pace. Advancements in micro-technology assist with making consumer products smaller, faster, and more powerful as the market and consumer spending habits tend to dictate. Finally, in foreign markets such as the UK, political debates about the right to photography in public often influence which type of optics are released and how powerful those optics are. Environmental scanning would be conducted on a continuous basis across all existing products. Closely monitoring...

...References/Bibliography Vancouver Style “How-to” guide NOTE: • • • • A list of references contains details only of those works cited in the text. A bibliography lists sources not cited in the text but which are relevant to the subject and were used for background reading. Before you compile your bibliography/reference list check with your lecturer/tutor for the bibliographic style preferred by the Academic Department. A citation is an acknowledgement in your text of references that support your work. It is in the form of a number that correlates with a source in your reference list. • • • • • • There are many ways of setting out bibliographies and reference lists. The following are examples of one style – the Vancouver System. It is commonly used in medical and scientific journals. Your reference list should identify references cited (eg. book, journal article, pamphlet, internet site, cassette tape or film) in sufficient detail so that others may locate and consult your references. Your reference list should appear at the end of your essay/report with the entries listed numerically and in the same order that they have been cited in the text. If you have cited sources from the Internet, these should be in your reference list. The bibliography is a separate list from the reference list and should be arranged alphabetically by author or title (where no author is given) in the Vancouver Style. Punctuation marks and spaces in the reference list and citations are very...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the Problem Education has been very important through the ages and it can be defined as an organized and sustained instruction designed to communicate a combination of knowledge, skill and understanding valuables for all activities of life. Numerous groups during this century have identified what they believe the goals of education should be. One of the most widely cited reports is that of the commission on the reorganization of secondary education which in 1918 stated the goals of education as the seven cardinal principles: health, command of fundamental processes, worthy home membership, vocation, citizenship, worthy use of leisure and ethical conduct. Although neither science nor any of the other school subjects was included as one of the seven principles, the role and importance of science in achieving the seven cardinal principles is obvious. The world is fast becoming scientific in thinking and behaviors that without good knowledge of science, it might be difficult for people to adequately function in it. The purpose of exposing children to science instruction right from primary school level is not necessarily to turn them into scientist per se but to provide favorable scientific attitudes of ‘finding out’ and ‘hands-on‘ and to enable them raise questions about things that intrigue them. In a study on the impact of science on the society, Bertrand & Russell (1952) have shown that our time is an age of science. Science...

...CHAPTER ONE 1.0 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY 1.1 INTRODUCTION Tomato (cycospersicum esculentum) is one the most popular and widely grown vegetable in the world. The precise centre of origin and domestication of the presented cultivated tomato is uncertain purse glove (1968) point to the central and South America precisely at per Ecuadeor area as the region of origin. This view is not different from that of Anyanwu A.C, (1979who also considered tomato as being indigenous to Izeu and Ecuador in South America from where it spread out to other parts of the world. Tindal H.D 1983 investigated that the cultivated tomato originated in the slope of the Andes mountain of South America. The spread of tomato to other parts was more by deliberate introduction then by accidental natural spread. The spinerals are credited with introducing the crop to Europe in very early times (Purselohe, 1968). Ogieuo Erebor (1998) identified 1596 as the precise date of introduction of the crop to Britain the probable date of the spread of tomato to most tropical countries is in the nineteenth century, a period which Tindal H.D. (1983) accept. The spread in Africa is traced to minigrant tredous missionaries and agricultural officers.
