Discuss one or more of these issues: What was the reaction of Americans to the large number of immigrants arriving from Europe, particularly Eastern Europe, in the early 1900’s?

There are six short answer questions that must be answered. They are part of discussion posts that need to be completed. Each answer needs to be 5 sentences long and demonstrate some historical evidence, in addition to your personal opinion, in order to receive full credit. It is also expected that your contributions will be carefully written, with minimal spelling, punctuation, or grammatical errors.

The short answer questions:

1) Discuss one or more of these issues: What was the reaction of Americans to the large number of immigrants arriving from Europe, particularly Eastern Europe, in the early 1900’s? Why, since the U.S. was a country of immigrants, did the citizens react to immigrants in this manner? Was immigration a genuine “problem” in the 1920’s, or were the perceived difficulties just exaggerated by a group of ultra-conservative alarmists? Compare the reaction then with events concerning immigration today. What are the similarities and differences? Is immigration a problem for the country in the 21st Century?

2)How much responsibility should the federal government take in guaranteeing its citizens a minimum standard of living? How much is too much? Should we move even further in this direction (such as national health care)? Or should we move back to placing more emphasis on the state, local government, or on the individuals, themselves?

3) Did the West (the United States, England, France) do as much as could be reasonably expected during World War II to prevent the extermination of European Jews?

4) In what ways were the civil rights struggles for blacks and Hispanics similar? How were they dissimilar?

5) Should the U.S. have gotten involved in Vietnam? Once involved, was it a winnable conflict? What could the nation have done differently to have gained a victory?

6) Is the current conflict in Afghanistan comparable to the Vietnam conflict? In what ways is it the same? How is it different?

When answering these questions, just put it in a word document and copy and paste the questions onto the document and have them bolded. Then add the answers below each question.

It doesn’t actually have to be 550 words, just make sure each answer is 5 sentences long.

What disruptive technology has threatened the bricks-and-mortar and mail-in movie rental business?

1. What disruptive technology has threatened the bricks-and-mortar and mail-in movie rental business?
2. Does easy access to distribution channels at grocery stores for Redbox’s 22,000 vending machines indicate a high- or low-entry threat in the movie rental business? Why? Why might McDonald’s be an even better distribution channel than grocery stores?
3. Are there any economies of scale in the on-demand video rental business to serve as a barrier to the entry of Amazon?
4. Who are Netflix’s and Redbox’s suppliers? Are they in a position to appropriate much of the value in the value chain? Why or why not?
5. What factors determine the intensity of rivalry in any industry? Is the intensity of rivalry in the video rental industry high or low? Why?
6. The DVD market, both in rentals and in purchases after screening, has absolutely COLLAPSED with the advent of digital streaming. This used to be a reliable revenue stream for studios – and now it’s all but disappeared. How might we expect this to change the movies that get made, and the experience (including prices…) at the theater?

7. Imagine you own a small chain of movie theaters. How do you plan to react to the changing marketplace? What are you going to do in order to keep customers coming back, with the wealth of entertainment options available to them and the changing studio landscape? What are you going to do with prices, offerings, etc?

8. What do you think the future of studio releases and movie exhibition will look like? What trends do we see today that might chance the landscape in the next 5-10 years? How will studios, theaters and consumer react to those changes?

Questions:
1. Expanding the number of stores in a foreign market, such as the expansion plan
launched by Starbucks in China (announced in 2018), is a major capital budgeting
project. A project of this scale requires coordinated planning across all functions of a
business that you are studying in your Integrated Core classes. Choose and discuss
three items on the income statement and balance sheet (a total of six items) that you
think this new undertaking will effect. Explain why you chose those particular items,
and how the marketing, management and operations decisions of the company will
affect them.
2. Choose and calculate three ratios for Starbucks for the last two years. Make sure to
select ratios that you think that expanding into a new market will effect, and explain
your reasoning. Identify a competitor of Starbucks and contrast these three ratios for
the two companies. Explain why you selected this competitor. Describe how the
decisions made by management, marketing and operations functions of the company
can impact, and hopefully improve, the components of firm operations that these
financial ratios measure.
3. Explain how the financial decisions regarding opening a new store are related to

Write a semi-formal investigation report based on the situation described up above.

You represent a private Management Consulting Firm specializing in ethical and professional conduct, and legal compliance for federal and state government agencies. Your company’s specialty includes technical related issues in STEM fields such as engineering and information technology. Your company has been hired by the Department of Transportation (DOT) to “investigate” the ethical and legal implications from the SANSHANDS contest as evidenced from the State Senate Ethics Commission. In particular, you are tasked to find any ethical misconduct or possible criminal violations that may have occurred during the SANSHANDS project.

THE TASK

Write a semi-formal investigation report based on the situation described up above. Use Figure 6-1 (WRTGR, Page 70) to help you build a framework for your investigation. You should also use/reference the NSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers to help you formulate your conclusions and recommendations (Outcomes). Focus on how you can improve the DOT’s “Code of Ethics” so a situation such as the SANSHANDS project doesn’t repeat itself in the future. Also consider your “recommendations” to the DOT on implementing and distributing the new code within the organization. In other words, how will your new code of ethics be embedded within the DOT culture (top down, bottom up, or from the middle) to foster change? You may adopt a made-up company name. You are to assume the identity of an expert investigator and “Engineering Consultant” for your company.

THE FORMAT STYLE

Use the format from the WRTGR example starting on Page 73 of your text. Use “headings” to help break up your text. Include enough “white space” between sections to help the reader focus. Include tables and graphics as you deem necessary. Your single-spaced report should be between 3 – 4 pages in length.

THE REPORT

You should end up with three to four pages, focused, organized, edited. Write and revise with your situation (author, audience, report purpose) in mind. Graphics are not required, but consider using them, and if you do, integrate them smoothly into the report, use labels, and give credit if images are borrowed. Use WRTGR Chapter 12 as your guideline.

THE GRADE

Your report itself will be evaluated on: detail, organization, tone, clarity, document design, mechanics (grammar and spelling), graphics (if used), and, most importantly, how well you suit the report to the specific situation. For example, level of detail depends on what your particular audience needs to know (or doesn’t know already). Make it clear in the report what your author-identity is, who your audience is, and why the report is being written.
