Abstract
This paper discusses the relative value of design and of designers within the current economic system. Author Nussbaum, author of "Are Designers the Enemy of Design?", is cited as arguing that designers are responsible for much of the world's excess waste and consumption because of a constant quest for product or service revision.
From the Paper
"Design is an innovative process that has quickened with the pace of technology. However, it is arguable if design has been responsible for the seemingly more rapid pace of consumerism over the past several decades as Nussbaum might suggest or if it is merely the vehicle for the competitive entities that must operate within a free market.
"Design and redesign of designs is now commonplace. Where once design configuration might have meant raw survival, it now only means seasonality as in fashion. Nussbaum hits near the mark when he says that design "with a capital D" has occupied itself almost solely with fashion, graphics, products, and similar transient objects which require constant revision in order to stay relevant (2007, para.7). What he seems to be implying is that designers have typically occupied themselves with subjects that have little meaning or any sort of real and lasting impact on society."

Abstract
This paper discusses how, despite numerous attempts to differentiate its product, Ken Davis Products still strives to increase their market share.

The company has been in business for over 30 years, but has failed to reach customers outside of its home base region in the Northern Midwest: "Minnesota, Iowa, North and South Dakota, and Wisconsin".

The Threats
McDonald's
Executive Summary
From the Paper
"For many years the company of McDonald's was able to maintain its competitive edge over the industry because of the low cost by which it was able to promote and provide its products to the public. However, in recent decades there has been a long list of competitors that have built businesses around competing with McDonald's. The past few years have seen a demand for a shift in strategy when it came to the way McDonald's handled its customer data base and the time has come to move to a best provider strategy. This strategy will still play up the low cost of the product while at the same time providing the customer with a knowledge that they will get a superior product or service from McDonald's over the competition."

Marketing Mix, 2005.
A description and discussion of the marketing mix concept, illustrated through the marketing example of Apple Computers' product, iPhone.
1,370 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the marketing mix concept, one of the fundamental marketing concepts that is applied whenever a firm first plans to market a product or service. The paper points out that the marketing mix - involving product, price, place, and promotion - seeks to control and influence demand for the product or service provided. The paper maintains that a firm's ability to incorporate the marketing mix into its strategic plan plays a key factor in the success or failure of a product or service. To illustrate this, the paper takes a look at the specific example of Apple Computers, whose recently-released iPhone hit the streets with considerable success. Although, much of this success is doubtless due to the innovative nature of the phone itself, the paper concludes that, without a carefully crafted marketing plan and the loyalty of numerous Apple fans, it would be safe to assume the iPhone would not have achieved the level of success that it has.
Outline:
Description
Apple Computer, Inc.
Product
Price
Place
Promotion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Promotion is the Marketing Mix component most commonly attributed to the job of marketers, though the other components are also vitally important. In this arena, Apple appears to have excelled. Apple has always remained notoriously tight-lipped about future products developments. The January 2007 announcement that Apple would enter the Smartphone arena was somewhat shocking to many. Just as shocking was the company's ability to move from announcement, to design, to full-fledged production and release within approximately six months."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes three companies in three different sectors that are pursuing a deliberate strategy and three that are pursuing an emergent strategy. The first part of the paper looks at examples of deliberate strategy, whereby the decisions are initiated from within a company and accord with the company?s intrinsic goals. The paper then explores three companies that use emergent strategy, where the company continually shifts its strategy in line with the market's needs.
From the Paper
"An apparel company that is currently using an emergent strategy is Vans, which is continually shifting its strategy. In the arena of youth fashion in which Vans operates, producing shoes as well a clothes for the segment of the youth market that associates itself with skateboarding, being the ?in? label is the most important thing. It is the most important thing for the company but it is also the most important thing for those who wear Vans products. There is actually relatively little that a company can do to guarantee this ?in? status: Such a designation as being in is made by the young men (and some very few young women) who identify with this brand."

From the Paper
"In order to formulate an effective HR strategy it is essential to scan the environment the organization operates in. In this section we will be discussing the sources and methods used to scan the environment, the challenges involved, and environment factors."
"There are many different sources and methods that can be used to scan the environment. Publications, professional associations and professional consultants are some of the most popular sources used. Trend Analysis, Delphi Technique and Impact Analysis are some of the techniques that are very popular when scanning the environment."
"The inability to accurately predict the future is one of the main challenges of environment scanning. Isolating the critical from the insignificant is another challenge.
"There are many environment factors that can impact an organization. Some such factors are economic, technological, political, legislative, demographic, social and cultural factors."

Chronic Renal Failure, 2006.
This paper discusses chronic renal failure, also called chronic kidney failure, which is a serious disease that can be fatal if not treated.
1,690 words (approx. 6.8 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 54.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in the beginning of chronic renal failure, there are virtually no symptoms; however, the progression of the disease can cause an increase in blood pressure, an accumulation of potassium in the blood, an accumulation of urea, anemia, fatigue, an overload of fluid volume, cardiac arrhythmia and vascular calcification. The author points out that, at end-stage of renal disease, renal replacement therapy, such as kidney dialysis and even kidney transplant, is required to keep the patient alive. The paper relates that patients with chronic renal failure also have a high incidence of atherosclerosis, which usually accelerates at a faster rate, and of cardiovascular disease, which has a prognosis that is not as good as someone without chronic renal failure.
From the Paper
"Sometimes, the levels of serum creatinine have not been measured in the past, and therefore the patient is often first treated as having acute renal failure. Only when blood tests continue to show elevated serum creatinine levels and it is determined that the renal failure is irreversible will the diagnosis be made as chronic renal failure as opposed to the previously assumed acute renal failure. A numerous amount of uremic toxins also accumulate in individuals that have chronic renal failure and are involved in the treatment of standard dialysis."

Abstract
The paper explains that strategy/implicit instruction is a student-centered approach, which focuses on the general skills, rules and processes required for learning a particular concept. The paper highlights the advantages of using this method and refers to several literary sources on the strategy/implicit instruction. The paper presents the conclusion that the combination of strategy/implicit instruction and direct instruction is the ideal method for teaching mathematics in the classroom.
From the Paper
"In order to make the right decision concerning the choice of instructional strategy for middle school mathematics class it appears necessary to take into consideration the general school mathematics standards and the peculiar needs, behaviors and interests of middle school students. Besides complying with the standards, an efficient strategy should promote successful and productive learning. When it comes to middle school, the instructional elements, which could be extremely useful, are the following: clear routines, integrated curriculum, cooperative groups, combination of challenge and support, resorting to real-life connections. All of the above can provide valuable assistance to the teacher. The environment in the class should promote inquiry- and project-based, cooperative instruction. Engaging activities and connections with real life are sure to increase students' motivation and involvement. Thus, the challenging material will be easily tackled by them."

Abstract
As a result of the Treaty of Versailles the German Navy was reduced to a small coastal defense. This thesis looks at the German Naval plan during World War II and why it was not as successful as it should have been. Issues such as their deployment strategy, ship and submarine building, weapons are examined in great detail. The German Naval strategy is compared with the British Navy. The miscalculations made by the German Naval leaders are evaluated to show what went wrong for the German Navy.
From the Paper
"During the Second World War Great Britain depended on her sea born trade to maintain her ability to be involved in the conflict. This required the Royal Navy to protect convoys by using most of its capital ship strength. German leaders realized that they could never create a navy large enough to challenge the British directly. From the onset of German remilitarization they planned to build a small, technically advanced fleet of battleships that could destroy the capital ships of the Royal Navy in succession and weaken Britain to such a point that she would be compelled to negotiate a settlement."

Overview
Major Themes
Economic Integration
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Such a mentality at the managerial and executive level within a given organization allows the company, no matter how large or hierarchical in nature, to respond more quickly and more effectively to both threats and opportunities in the marketplace. In such an environment, while there still exists many real and unforeseeable market threats, the market itself is reduced as close to the concept of perfect competition as it likely can be (Besanko, Dranove, Shanley & Schaefer, 2006, p.208). In this ideal type of market companies compete in a relatively level playing field of opportunity where there are sufficient consumers, a market price completely arrived at by market forces, and a market not controlled by any single competitor or supplier. By framing the global market in such a context, the authors of Strategy as Action: Competitive Dynamics and Competitive Advantage becomes a field manual for contemporary organizations in the global economy."

Possibilities to Increase the Alignment of HR Practices to Business Strategy
Measures to be Considered to Evaluate the Effectiveness of the Relevant HR Processes
From the Paper
"By operating independently, each company can focus exclusively on delivering the best service for its specific market. It appears that the main strategy adopted by the company may be subsumed by the phrase "offering more services to more places". It becomes transparent that the company is involved in a permanent process of change and diversification. Armstrong (2006) identified two important types of change: strategic and operational. The operational change refers to the implementation of new systems, procedures, structures and technologies with impact upon the organization and its employees. Strategic change deals with "broad, long-term and organization-wide issues" (Armstrong 2006, p. 344). Such form of change involves moving to a future state defined in terms of strategic vision and objectives."
