Debrief Rounds 2 and 3 Part A Based on the undertakings in Round 2 and 3, one apparent issue is about the choice of the product that significantly impacted on the inventory. My investment was mostly on achieving the highest number of products within a specified period, prompting me to even use an emergency loan. However, based on the result in the inventory that highlights unsold products, I could have taken into account the role played by the market. With the correct market analysis, I could have established the demand for the products and came out with sufficient supply volume, which matches the demand. Again, the market share still remains optimum. The main aim of the production was to achieve a market share that is proportionate to the number of goods produced. However, with a market share of below 10 percent, there is a need to sell the remaining products at an optimum cost to clear the inventory and effectively achieve sustainable growth and improve the market share. The other lesson learned is that emergency loans should not be used…
DO YOU THINK CONTEMPORARY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WILL BRING OUR GLOBAL SOCIETY TO A WORLD CRISIS ANALOGOUS TO THAT FOUND IN MILLER’S CANTICLE? Walter M. Miller Jr.’s A Canticle for Leibowitz is a science fiction novel. Its central theme is cyclic history meaning that the events that occur in the novel repeat themselves in real life. In the Canticle, Miller mentions that a crisis is a disagreement between religious and political concepts. According to Miller, the Church feared that enlightened people. The Enlightenment and Civilization period scared the Church because curious youths would question the existing religious system using political arguments.[1] Despite the Church’s interference, Miller thinks that science and technology are related to religion. Two essential subjects that reinforce the central theme are the “Flame Deluge” and “A Great Simplification,” both of which confirm that science will one day create a crisis that is analogous with Miller’s Canticle. Crisis in the Canticle Miller and other scholars who critique him believe that the misunderstanding between religion and science causes a world crisis. According to Miller, the Church wanted to…
The Effect of Leadership Style on Organizational Performance of Multinational Manufacturing Companies in Egypt Introduction Any business aims to ensure that it gains profits and becomes dominant in the market that it operates. Each organization also has set goals and objectives that are supposed to be completed in a specific period. The purposes are made based on the size of the organization, existing market conditions, and the working environment that the company is. To achieve the goals, there is a body that is set to oversee the functioning of the company. In many cases, it is a board of management. It is composed of leaders from different segments of the organization to make strategies and follow them up until the goals of the organization are achieved.

Formation and Growth of Crisis Pregnancy Centers For many young women, unprepared pregnancy could be confusing and overwhelming. Abortion is often their first decision that comes to mind. Some may seek information online or visit healthcare clinics for advice that acts to their best interests. Today, more people can easily access abortion services at a relatively small cost, either in reputable hospitals or in quack areas. The Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPC) was established to counsel women with unwanted pregnancies against procuring abortions, and other pregnancy-related information. The Christian organization is pro-life and aims at rescuing as many babies as possible, some whom they refer to adoption areas if the mother decides not to keep the baby. They advocate for adoption or parenting as better alternatives to abortion (Bryant and Swartz 270). However, they are famed for dispensing false information about the health risks of abortion, to scare away the to-be mother from making such a decision. They operate under the motto “We Inform. You decide.” Their operations are legal but highly unethical from the way they deceptively conduct their activities.…

government should not control the prices of important goods like gasoline The flexibility of goods is essential in any economy. It helps the economy to maintain the law of supply and demand. The production cost varies from time to time, which makes it necessary for the prices of the goods also to change. For instance, if the cost of production of bread rises, the price of the bread in the market will also rise to maintain profitability. Second, flexible pricing is essential to sellers when it comes to the issue of perishable goods. Instead of the products going into waste, the seller decides to sell them at a lower price, making them make profits. For instance, last-minute vacant airline seats are considered to be perishable goods. If an airline allows negotiations with its customers about them, there are high chances that the seats will be occupied. Lastly, naturally, customers like flexible pricing because it enables them to have bargaining power. In my opinion, the government should not control the prices of important goods like gasoline. The US is a free…
