Abstract
The paper discusses how Los Angeles is a city that once had an extensive rail system and then abandoned it. The paper explains how more recently, the city has undertaken a massive building project with rail lines above ground and a subway line underground to cover much of the area of the city. The paper notes that the subway portion of the system has been the most costly, the most problem-plagued and the most disruptive to businesses and residents of the city. The paper contends that the high costs may be too high when compared to the benefits of the finished system. On the other hand, the paper shows that the system may develop into a valuable means of reducing above-ground traffic, with all of the ills that this entails.

Abstract
This paper explains that L.L. Bean experienced a slight decline in growth because of increasing competition and other market forces, which requires more research about the existing business to decide the proper strategies. The author points out that L.L. Bean's emphasis on customer service sets it apart from some other catalog companies and helps in its marketing. The paper stresses that inventory management is a key issue that must be addressed because goods now are shipped ready for the direct channel and not for the retail channel; therefore, a dual flow system in which the goods are sent ready-for-sale to retail centers would eliminate time and costs for a considerable savings of about $.95 a unit.

Abstract
The thesis of this paper contends that internet sales of L.L. Bean and Land's End have impacted their apparel market. The paper attempts to demonstrate this thesis by examining the sales record, corporate image, and customer relationships of both companies since commencing with a web presence.
From the Paper
"In order to determine the degree to which L.L. Bean and Lands? End have been successful in further evolving and establishing their traditional catalog and retail store customer base to the online shopping world, one measure have success may be evidence of customer satisfaction in addition to customer purchases. According to Hill (2002), when attempting to determine the degree to which customers are satisfied with an online shopping experience, the best measure of customer satisfaction is the likelihood that a customer will return to the site to shop again. While some have suggested that customer relationships are best understood by examining a group of attributes, including use of email and other channels to connect with the company, the real indicator of customer satisfaction is the degree to which they will make online purchases from the company on a repeat basis."

From the Paper
"Whereas it is apparent that training implications and concerns are needed for Internal threat/ shrinkage, a lot of OBM practitioners undertake an assessment prior to interfering, the details of such evaluations do not find coverage in writing. It is important to conduct an organizational functional assessment before intervention to find out variables responsible for maintaining cash shortages, and an intervention package comprising of feedback and responsibility was implemented based on the outcomes of the evaluation. The impact of the intervention package was assessed with an ABAB reversal design. At the time of baseline, daily cash shortages averaged $2.27. When the feedback and accountability package was executed, average cash shortages were lowered to $0.06 daily. A rise in average daily cash shortage to $7.78 was observed at the time when the intervention package was taken away. At the time when the feedback and accountability package was reinstated, average daily cash shortages lowered to $0.19. The outcomes of the present study recommend that novice practitioners can successfully use organizational functional assessment in order to diagnose and rectify performance problems.

Abstract
This paper looks at aspects of marketing that seem to help restaurants, in general, together with an understanding of the Subway restaurants chain, in particular. It examines how, although it is considered part of the fast food category, the emphasis of Subway is, however, on the health aspect of the food that it serves. It serves sandwiches of either one feet or six inches long of all different types, including meat, cheeses, vegetables, or other toppings. It shows how the main advertising and publicity theme is the weight reduction that is possible by eating at Subway.
From the Paper
"A product for the general public is viewed in marketing terms more as a sales exercise than a publicity exercise. (Buttle, 1996) Marketing is generally considered as the sexier stepsister to the soot covered and dirties ?Cinderella? of sales. Yet, the fairy godmothers of certain business have changed the conditions that take Cinderella to the ball for eventual marriage to the prince. In academic and business circles, the sales force and the sales management are often viewed as the part of the promotional or communications elements of the marketing mix. This view is reflected in the traditional concept of the 4-Ps of marketing. The strategic importance of sales in certain businesses has not been fully appreciated and the degrees of importance of integrating the sales activity into the wider marketing activities of the organization are not realized."

Edward L. Bernays in Brief
Modern Approaches to Bernays?s Creation
Ethics Enters the Debate
How Many Flavors?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"During a career that spanned more than 80 years, Bernays was billed as a press agent, publicist and public relations counselor, depending on the styling needed for acceptance at any given moment, and had some major accomplishments most Americans would not realize were not ?always there? but rather were attributable to Bernays? engineering of the public belief system. For example, he got Americans to eat bananas and children to like washing with Ivory soap. He humanized President Calvin Coolidge, and talked William Paley into making news a very strong component of his fledgling Columbia Broadcasting System, or CBS. None of these could be viewed as a bad thing."

Abstract
This essay will discuss the Sheppard Subway line: how it came into being, what criticisms are put against this project both in the past and today.

Table of Contents
Lockheed Martin's Tri Star Program
Lockheed's Break-Even Analysis for the L-1011
Cost of Capital
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the break-even analysis introduced by U.E Reinhardt in The Journal of Finance, the Lockheed L-1011 Tri Star program is scrutinized for its viability. Many of the article's ideas stem from the 1971 Congressional hearings concerning the emergency loan guarantee legislation. At the time, Lockheed was experiencing a liquidity crisis and large cost overruns on several military contracts. The Department of Defense refused to absorb these additional costs, forcing Lockheed to seek a federal guarantee for $250 million of additional bank credit for the completion of the L-1011 Tri Star program."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the life of Francis L. Sampson, World War II veteran. The paper presents the biography of Paratrooper Francis L. Sampson during World War II. The paper explains that Father Sampson was an ordained Catholic priest, a paratrooper and an Army chaplain, who rose through the ranks to become a Major General during his Army service. The paper examines what happened when Paratrooper Sampson was taken prisoner by the Germans during World War II.
From the Paper
"Francis L. Sampson was born in Cherokee, Iowa on February 29, 1919. He graduated from Notre Dame University in 1937, and entered St. Paul's Seminary located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where he studied to be a Catholic priest. He was ordained as a priest in 1941, and worked as a priest briefly until 1942, when he enlisted in the U.S. Army as a chaplain. By 1943 he had completed Army chaplain school and joined the 501st Parachute Regiment, of the 101st Airborne Division, as the regimental chaplain, a position he held until the end of the war. Sampson was well liked, as his official Army biography notes, he was "'one of the most respected and best-loved officers in the Regiment,' while S.L.A. Marshall in Night Drop, portrays Sampson as 'a jolly man, deeply loved by the Regiment'" (Hourihan). The 101st was one of the regiments that parachuted into France during the Invasion of Normandy, or D-Day."

From the Paper
"While Subway sandwiches are certainly popular, the company must be careful not to fall into the trap of believing that it must continually change its offerings in order to remain the market leader. Change is good in moderate amounts; smart executives, indeed, will carefully monitor consumer preferences in order to ensure company strategies are in line with them. However, too much change too soon can cause a company to lose favor with customers, as the reasons for a company's popularity begin to be erased."

From the Paper
"Cultivation of chives is relatively easy because the plants are hardy and can grow in a broad range of environmental conditions. They can grow in different kinds of soil, from sandy, to loamy to heavy clay. However, the soil should be moist but well-drained. Chives can grow in a broad range of soil pH from acidic soil, to neutral or and even in highly alkaline soil. They thrive in areas with semi-shade or direct sunlight."
"Bulbs or seeds should be planted in early spring and bulbs should be planted deeply. Bulbs grow in clumps and have to be divided 3 to 4 times a year. Because they are perennial plants and resistant to frost, they can be planted outside and the leaves can be harvested the whole year round."

Luther L. Terry, 2002.
A discussion of Luther L. Terry and his anti-smoking campaign.

Abstract
This paper evaluates the work of Luther L.Terry who was Surgeon General of the United States during the Kennedy Administration and the first part of the Johnson Administration, from 1961 to 1965. He was prominent in taking the lead in public health issues and ruffling feathers in many American industries. This paper examines his famous report on smoking and its dangers in 1964, now known as Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health, which lead to the greater prominence of anti-tobacco forces, the warnings on cigarette packages, the banning of cigarette ads on television and radio and recently court and legislative actions taken against the tobacco industry after decades of resistance. It shows how this was the first official recognition that cigarette smoking is a cause of lung cancer and how attitudes towards smoking were changed forever.
From the Paper
"For most of its history, the office of Surgeon General was non-controversial. That would change with Luther L. Terry and his smoking report and recommendations, though interestingly Terry was not the first Surgeon General to address this question. Surgeon General Hugh Cumming in 1929 stated that "cigarettes tended to cause nervousness, insomnia, and other ill effects in women" and "warned that smoking could lower the 'physical tone' of the nation" (Parascandola 440). Cumming's challenge to smoking was rather weak. It was directed only at women smokers, for one thing, for it was generally accepted at the time that women are more susceptible than men to certain injuries to the nervous system."

Thomas L. Friedman's "The Lexus and the Olive Tree", 2007.
This paper reviews Thomas L. Friedman's book about globalization, "The Lexus and the Olive Tree".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Thomas L. Friedman's interesting title for his book "The Lexus and the Olive Tree" was taken from two conflicting concepts: The Lexus represents globalization; whereas, the olive tree represents culture, traditions and community. The author points out that Friedman believes that this relationship must be in balance because too much globalization can pose a great threat to the integrity of the olive tree and too much protection given to the olive tree may hinder the development promised by globalization. The paper states that Friedman argues that globalization is not, and cannot be, regulated because there is no one regulating it. The author stresses that globalization was perceived by Friedman as beneficial not only to the electronic herd, which is the millions of investors moving money around the world with a click of a mouse, but also to the average blue-collar worker.
From the Paper
"The problem with this, though, as explained by Stiglitz, is that, in industrialized countries, the pain of layoffs is acknowledged and somewhat ameliorated by the safety net of unemployment insurance, but in less developed countries it is a different case--the unemployed workers typically do not become a public charge because there are seldom insurance schemes there. Globalization has not worked for millions of people. Many have actually been made worse off, as they have seen their jobs destroyed and their lives become more insecure."
