Abstract
In the 1980s the company Mercedes Benz was able to market its luxury cars to the public. However, the paper points out the difficulties the company faced later trying to sell a product with such a narrow client-base. The writer gives the background of the struggles of this company and the new marketing strategy that has begun to take shape.
From the Paper
"Every year, Mercedes Benz spends millions of dollars sponsoring sporting events and advertising to sports fans. They use a service provided by ESPN that makes sports market research information accessible over the Internet to help determine target market segments and adapt sports sponsorship strategy to the changing marketplace ensuring high-impact sports marketing programs. ESPN/Chilton provides a data warehousing product, Sports Poll Interactive, to give highly detailed answers to the most pressing market demographic questions. An example would be the ability to use this secondary data to explore the market of young, outdoor enthusiasts who participate in different types of sports than those currently sponsored, in conjunction with marketing the new M-class sport utility vehicles and 4-wheel drive options on sedans."

Abstract
This paper examines the history of the Mercedes-Benz automobile company which was formed through the merger and cooperation of what started out as two separate car companies founded by two different men, Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz who were born and grew up in Germany. It discusses the development of the companies during and after the two World Wars and their survival during the periods of economic unrest and the state of the automobile industry in Germany today.
From the Paper
"German car companies are globalizing to get closer to customers and suppliers. Currently, many German producers, including Mercedes-Benz, are in the process of establishing plants in other countries, partly because it became clear that productivity could only be possible by doing so. It is felt that while overseas investment might have a short run cost in jobs, it may be the best way for German industry to survive and compete, creating new markets. "

Abstract
MBUSI Success
Lessons Learned
Transferable Lessons
Best Practices
From the Paper
"While the organization and structure at Mercedes-Benz United States International, Inc. (MBUSI) was certainly novel and even, to a degree, revolutionary for Mercedes-Benz, success or failure in almost any industry begins with the product. MBUSI had the foresight to develop an SUB platform that had relevant market appeal in the United States (US) without losing its distinct German feel and brand identity: "We wanted to avoid the American style, because I think that customers expect that a Mercedes-Benz is not American. They want to have the European origin and I think that would disturb them a little...if it looks very American" (Mercedes-Benz, 1999, p.5). Without a suitable product that remained true to the Mercedes-Benz ethos and European heritage, the M-class SUV would have been merely just another SUV in a market replete with myriad SUVs that all functioned and looked the same."

Abstract
This paper studies the ways in which the Daimler Chrysler merger makes both economic and business sense inasmuch as both companies have a history of being internally flexible and willing to try any sort of technique to make a product or an idea work. The writer gives examples of the positive results of the merger and also raises some of the potential pitfalls, such as clashing company cultures.
From the Paper
"However, as Sorge and Phelan observe, the two companies, although in the same industry have fundamental differences apart from the obvious differences in business culture. "Chrysler has creative styling and low development costs. Daimler is an engineering company with high development costs" (Sorge & Phelan, 1998, 46). Even with this disparate core, the merger is an operating merger rather than a financial one. The difference is essentially one of content. Both companies were profitable and could have survived without the deal. However, since this is an operating merger, the combined companies will attempt to operate co-mutually, an attempt that can be hindered by the fact that the corporation will have two headquarters and two CEOs for the first 18 months of operation. The combined company comprises about 180 manufacturing facilities. Fifty of those are located in Germany, 40 are in America and the rest are in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, and Turkey."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Mercedes-Benz, the well-known luxury car manufacturer that is part of the Daimler-Benz company, has built its reputation in the United States on a foundation of quality and exclusivity. The company's marketing program has been instrumental in cultivating this reputation, and the company has successfully targeted the upper middle class and upper class as its target market. Recent years, however, have seen an increase in the number and type of cars that have entered Mercedes-Benz's traditional niche, with the result that the company now competes against its European rivals BMW and Jaguar, as well as against new upscale models of Nissan and Toyota (Lexus and Infinity brands). This research examines a hypothetical promotional plan for a new Mercedes-Benz model by considering the company's current marketing strategy..."

Abstract
This paper explains the meanings of the terms "hackers", "phreakers", "reverse engineers" and "social engineers" and takes a look at what they mean in terms of computer and technical crimes. The paper describes some of the techniques used by people committing these types of crimes and some of the methods companies are employing to combat the problem.
From the Paper
"When most people think of "hackers" they think of nerdy, pimply-faced teenagers wasting time in their parent's basements-maybe trying to mess with their high school transcript or web site. However, the real world of computer hacking has grown far more complex and widespread. In fact, now the term "hacker" in itself is no longer sufficient to encompass all of the very different "types" of computer code criminals there are in the "underground world" of technology. Instead, we now have specialized terms in addition to "Hacker," like "Phreaker," Reverse Engineer," and "Social Engineer," to name a few. But what exactly does each of these do?"

Abstract
In this paper the author takes an in-depth look at the history of engineering education and the ways that engineering, and engineering schools, continue to improve life. The author investigates why engineering schools began to assume greater importance in the second half of the 19th century in the United States and considers the historical context of engineering and engineering education.
From the paper:
?As people?s understanding of the ways in which the physical world is constructed increased over time, engineering developed a number of subfields that addressed the various problems inherent in different materials and different applications. Thus developed the traditional four primary engineering subdivisions: civil, mechanical, electrical, and chemical. Over time specific educational programs would develop to train engineers in each of these subfields.?

Abstract
This paper defines engineering economy and explains how it is used to evaluate projects relating to their costs and their future value. The paper explains how engineering economy deals with how much a project will cost and what the future benefits of that project will be. This leads into a discussion of "the time value of money", one of the most important concepts in engineering economy. Finally, the paper explains several of the basic concepts of engineering economy and how these concepts can be applied to a company's financial management practices.
From the Paper
"When we are faced with an engineering project, in general, there are two main things to consider. One of them is how much the project costs, the second one is how much benefit the project will bring. The problem with the project benefit is that, most often, these are future benefits, while the costs are in the present. How can we compare future benefits with present costs? The answer is rather simple: by calculating the future benefits in terms of present benefits. Hence, it is now the proper time to introduce the concept of the time value of money, perhaps the most important concept in engineering economy."

Outline
Introduction
Principles of Genetic Engineering
Applications of Genetic Engineering
Hazards and Ethical and Social Implications of Genetic Engineering
From the Paper
"Restrictions have become less severe over the years, and genetic engineering is being applied more and more as public approval is constantly being sought. Nevertheless, this does not diminish the potential dangers of creating transgenic organisms. For example, consider the use of genetically modified organisms - GMO's - in the general environment, such as crop plants. Can such organisms be used safely? Suppose the pollen of these plants are transferred to wild relatives, thus injecting the gene into a different species. These plants may now act as weeds, and if the crop plants were engineered to be herbicide-resistant, then the weed will be similarly so. When a new type of oilseed rape resistant to the herbicide Basta was produced by the Belgian company 'Plant Genetic Systems' in 1994, there were concerns that rapeseed would act as a weed in hedgerows and would be impossible to control with Basta."

Abstract
This paper provides insight into genetic engineering and gene therapy, the changing of an organism?s genes in order to remove unwanted characteristics within an organism or to add other characteristics. In particular, it examines how genetic engineering techniques can be used to identify and treat certain diseases as well as aid doctors in creating custom-made drugs for specific patients. It shows that while the current application of genetic engineering on humans is limited, the hope is that genetic engineering will be able to treat many common diseases. It also describes the controversial issues surrounding its use with doctors, ethicists, religious groups and politicians and examines why science should be careful when applying this technology.
From the Paper
"The use of gene therapy began on September 14, 1990 and was use to treat a four-year old girl who was suffering from adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency. This is a fatal disease that attacks the immune system. The problem was that her cells were not creating the ADA enzyme necessary for the immune functions of the cells. Doctors at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda Maryland removed blood cells from the patent and modified them with a viral vector from normal ADA genes. When the blood was infused back into the girl?s blood stream, the ADA gene programmed the cells to produce the missing enzyme. This helped the girl to develop a resistance to infection, albeit temporarily (Isasi, 2002)."

Abstract
This paper examines how Tang Engineering, Inc. has been offered a potentially profitably contract with a major automobile manufacturer involving the production of a new engine component for Toyda Motor Company. It looks at how Tang Engineering has already conducted an experiment involving the manufacture of prototypes of the engine component that would be produced under the contract and attempts to determine the feasibility of the production of the engine component by the company within the mean unit production time constraint.
From the Paper
"The key determining factors in the ability of the company to manufacture the engine component within the constraint of a mean unit production time of < 1.5 minutes are lathe speed and drill speed. Tang Engineering experimented with three different lathe speed setting and three different drill speed settings. The matching of lathe speed settings and drill speed settings in the production experiment resulted in five different manufacturing process states, as follows: State 1 (lathe speed setting 1 and drill speed setting 1); State 2 (lathe speed setting 1 and drill speed setting 3); State 3 (lathe speed setting 2 and drill speed setting 2); State 4 (lathe speed setting 3 and drill speed setting 1; and State 5 (lathe speed setting 3 and drill speed setting 3).
Production data were collected in relation to each of the experimental production process states. The data collected were (1) the number of engine components produced in a batch run and (2) the overall time required for the completion of each batch run. These data were analyzed to assess the feasibility of Tang Engineering?s ability to manufacture the engine components within the constraint of a mean unit production time of < 1.5 minutes."

Engineering Education, 2006.
A paper explaining why an education in engineering today requires a global outlook.
2,052 words (approx. 8.2 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the only way that engineers will find success today is if they adopt a global perspective in their thinking. The paper maintains that a global outlook is necessary in an engineering education if engineers want to be aware of their competition and their need to compete in an increasingly global marketplace. The paper also asserts that the global outlook is necessary so that engineers are aware that they may need to collaborate with individuals from other countries.
Introduction
International Outlook
Educational Requirements
Current Implementation
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Engineering was founded on change, and today, more than ever, change drives engineering. Engineering, in its most basic form, is the creation of something new in order to bring about an improvement in the field for which that creation was designed. To continue that process, an engineer must attempt to broaden the existing designs to their fullest extent and introduce new designs. To ensure that the engineer has successfully undertaken a project, he or she must consider all of the possibilities available as part of the design process. Certainly, the only way to do so is to look beyond the familiar. By broadening his or her horizons, today's engineer can find success. Therefore, engineers must be exposed to the broadest base of information available. A global outlook is now required."
