Criticism Toward Porter's Theory of Competitive Advantage
When an organization demonstrates profits that are above average for the industry, this organization is believed to have some form of competitive advantage over the competition. Michael Porter theorized that there were two basic forms of competitive advantage, that deriving from a cost advantage and a differentiation advantage. A cost advantage occurs when an organization is able to provide a product or service with similar benefits, but at a lower cost than their competitors. A differentiation advantage occurs when an organization's product or service provides benefits beyond those of their competitors. In either case, the organization provides a superior level of value to its customers. Th
| 564 | Narrative About Smoking and Why You Shouldn't Start
On a cold's winter night at two A.M., I'm in my bed in a dark, dank room feeling the chills and the shakes - God I hate this feeling. Gotta go, gotta go...gotta get my smokes! Two packs a day and counting - for the last five years of my life. It all started as a joke in middle school, a childish challenge: "C'mon Homie, take a drag, be a man and feel the breeze!"
Not wanting to be called a buffoon, I indulged in one of the beginnings of the rest of my life. First I hid it from Mom and Dad and ended up paying my little sister "bribes" to keep her mouth shot. Then I started buying one stick here and one stick there from the convenience store nearby owned by a Korean who sells it by the stick. Man, that's illegal but "Hey", the Korean said "i
| 761 | Marketing Mix Presentation

| 998 | North Carolina Real Estate

| 1004 | Analyze Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers and the Success Rate for Inpatient vs Outpatient
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the topic of drug treatment centers. Specifically it will discuss the effectiveness of inpatient versus outpatient drug treatment and the success rate for inpatient versus outpatient treatment.
Inpatient versus Outpatient Drug Treatment
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the topic of drug treatment centers. Specifically it will discuss the effectiveness of inpatient versus outpatient drug treatment and the success rate for inpatient versus outpatient treatment. Drug treatment centers are continually in the news, especially with the prevalence of famous people who use them to detox from drugs and alcohol addictions. Just recently, Hollywood stars Mel Gibson and Robin Williams noted they would enter treatment prog
| 2224 | Marketing Communications Article by Columbus
Introduction
In completing this analysis of an article, I chose an article by Columbus (2006) that illustrates how marketing departments both in manufacturing and enterprise software companies are striving to stay in touch with their customers more than before, often using new approaches to do this. In terms of the credibility of the article, there is sincerity and honesty in the author's voice, as he is advocating a new perspective on how to understand customers, not a specific product or service to accomplish the task. The author has a bias to the non-traditional approaches companies can use to listen to their customers, and shows an impatience with marketing organizations that only rely on dated cause-and-effect relationships in relat
| 1010 | Investing in Real Estate
This is a research proposal on real estate investment. We propose to give proof on the data and substance of the mode of payment in corporate-mergers by assessing shareholder profits in a 5-year sample of R.E.I.T mergers between 1994 and 1998.
Context of the Problem
Research shows that a continual precedent in the scholarly text on mergers is that investors of a company, which bids, encounter considerable valuation deficit at the publication of stock-invested dealings; at the same time as, statements of hard-cash acquisitions produce no noteworthy variation in value by any means. These consistent results are usually credited to the data irregularity theory, which speculates that option of stock as a method of payment replicates the view of the managers that the stock is overes
| 1915 | Black Women Writers
Writers present the perspective of their particular community and social order. Readers of literature are enabled to see into different lives, different communities, different worlds. Black women writers take the reader into the world of women and the world of the African-American alike, especially important in a world where black women suffer dual discrimination and numerous indignities because of their status, while these writers show that these women have personalities and thoughts and lives that link them to all of humanity even as they also exhibit certain cultural differences that make them unique.
Zora Neale Hurston emerged as part of the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and was influenced by Langston Hughes. She represented a fem
| 1941 | Utilitarianism by John Stuart Mills
Chapter two of Utilitarianism by John Stuart Mills essentially runs through the basic tenets and definitions of Utilitarianism, and also addresses some important objections and misconceptions of the philosophy. Sadly, although Mills tries to rescue much of the vocabulary of Utilitarianism from public misconception and appropriation, he seems to have failed on this account. Of course the true understanding of his philosophy does not lie with the masses, but instead with those who have entered the realm of higher pleasures, so the problem with the misunderstandings can be considered ultimately moot.
Mills stresses that utility is not in opposition to pleasure, but instead an absence of pain. In other words, utility is not something that sho
| 1503 | Analyze How Chinese Women Immigrants' History was Linked to American Womens History
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the topic of American history. Specifically it will link Chinese women immigrants' history to American women's history. Chinese women have a particularly difficult history in America, because many of the first Chinese women to immigrate to America were prostitutes imported to serve the many single Chinese men working in the country. Chinese women were effectually banned from immigrating to the country for many years, and most Chinese men left their wives and children behind in China because it was much cheaper for them to live there. The men simply sent money back home to support their families. 1 Chinese women's history parallels American women's history in many ways, but
| 1407 | Challenges Women Face in Law Enforcement
Not too many years ago, it was considered unusual to be a policewoman. Not only did women comprise a very small percentage of total officers, but their relative newness in the job meant that women were concentrated in the lower-ranking positions. However, this reality has changed. As of 2002, 12.7% of police officers in the United States were women, and the research indicates that the percentage of female officers continues to grow. (Lonsway, et al., 2002). Furthermore, a growing number of higher-ranking officers are women, which, in turn, has created more advancement opportunities for entry-level officers. Despite these trends, women in police work still face tremendous challenges. First, while most police departments have made signi
| 1767 | U.S. Government's Methods of Dealing with People Suspected of Terrorist Involvement
The concern of the United States with regards to terror and terrorists activities began way before the 9/11 terrorist incidents. There was the World Trade Center bombings in the 1990s and several attacks on U.S. citizens outside the U.S. Terror and terrorist incidents became a focal point in U.S. government policies immediately preceding the disasters of September 11, 2001. In a sudden change of stance, the government "took off its gloves" and dealt with terrorists in a manner they (the terrorists) understand well - with iron fists!
Many citizens hailed the government's efforts stating, "It was high time the terrorists are given a dose of their own medicine!" Others cried "foul" and began reminding the government of human rights, due proce
| 867 | Homelessness in the US: Poverty, Mental Deficiencies and the Trigger Factors
This paper argues that there are a myriad of social problems that contribute to homelessness, and that many of these problems are rooted in the structures of society. This paper focuses on three major reasons - poverty and economic reasons, mental deficiencies and "trigger" factors that place one in a vulnerable position. These factors combined, rather than personal failings or substance abuse, account for majority of the homeless cases in the United States. Any long-term solutions to the problem of homelessness must therefore go beyond treating the symptoms. Rather, a program to eradicate homelessness must also focus on the systemic reasons that contribute to the problem in the first place.
Causes of poverty

Statistics show that the fastest-growing segment of the homeless population is comprised by young single mothers, who are often receive little or no child support from the
| 827 | Management Style of a Local Organization
This paper presents a detailed examination of the management style of a local organization. The writer explores the methods used to recruit and retain employees and examines the style of management that provides the blueprint for success. There was one source used to complete this paper.
INTRODUCTION
Years ago, one would get out of school, obtain a job and work until retirement with that same company. Today, however, employees are more transient than ever before in recent history. They might start at one company and in a few years move to a company that offers more advancement and eventually end up in a company that provides more perks. It is not unusual for workers to move about their entire careers, going where the job benefits, advancements and other perks may take them. With the current trend
| 2863 | Hotel Chains SWOT Analysis
The intent of this paper is to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of Hilton Hotels, Intercontinental Hotels, and Marriott Hotels. A SWOT analysis is useful in that it encapsulates the major strategic areas of a company, capturing it's core competencies or strengths, relative to both opportunities and threats present in its environment. There are many reasons why organizations rely on SWOT analysis frameworks, yet the most common one is to crystallize its strengths and weaknesses relative to opportunities in the market. Companies rely on SWOT analysis to also validate assumptions about opportunities versus threats present in their environments. The framework of a SWOT analysis also gives companies an oppor
| 3543 | How Arguments Strengthen Relationships
It is ironic how you and I often hurt the people we love most in arguments. You need to realize that too often the people closest to us are the ones that receive the majority of our anger, because they are around you when you're most likely to let yourself really let your true emotions show. When people cut you off in traffic or are rude, or when your boss is unreasonable in making demands, often times the stress and anger of these situations finds new life in old arguments. All this anger however can make for some great ephinanies in your arguments with others, and actually strengthen relationships through off-loading frustrations that originated with others yet get dumped on the peop

| 1194 | Cuban Government
When Fidel Castro announced he was temporarily relinquishing power due to his illness, people began to debate the possibility of democratic changes in a post-Castro Cuba. While reports circulate that the ailing Castro is recovering, speculations about significant changes in Cuba continue. This paper argues that despite Castro's preparations, changes in the Cuban government are inevitable, in the event of Castro's death. The loss of Castro would mean that the government would have to make further changes to accommodate democratic reform.
In contrast to majority opinions, any reports consider the possibility that the Communist government would retain its Marxist-Leninist identity. After all, reports like "Cuba After Castro" (2006) point
| 600 | Federal Laws Protecting Employees in the Workplace
Introduction: There are a number of federal laws protecting employees in the workplace. Included in them are the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. According to Dana Shilling in her book "Human Resources and the Law," the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) was passed to protect older workers who are still able to carry out vital job functions. Under the ADEA, employers with twenty or more employees are prohibited from discriminating against employees over forty years of age in hiring, compensation or other employment related areas including training, promotions or layoffs and terminations. The ADEA does not prohibit the
| 596 | OSHA and Cereal Manufacturing
While some people may argue that OSHA's regulations are burdensome and overly bureaucratic, they have helped reduce workplace accidents and therefore reducing absenteeism and insurance payouts. Manufacturers and businesses, large and small, benefit. In fact, there is proof that OSHA oversight is having an effect on workplace safety: "The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 4.3

| 3188 | The Success of Dell Computers
Dell computers are one of the leaders within the computer hardware industry. Started in the late 1980s, it was viewed as a small player within the market by powerhouses such as IBM until its proven sales strategy and production mechanism vaulted it to the top of the industry.

First, an analysis of Dell's overall company strategy and its marketing mix in terms of corporate strategy will take place.

| 1427 | Managerial Responsibility for Ethical Leadership
1. WHAT IS MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ETHICAL LEADERSHIP
In today's business world, the bottom line is all to often regarded as the end-all, and whatever means it takes to reach that end is "permissible." What is missing in this rush to show a better bottom line than the previous quarter or fiscal year is that the idea of fairness in business dealings often goes out the window. We are living in an age of management-by-whatever-means necessary. We have seen examples from Enron to WorldCom, even to FEMA in the wake of Hurricane Katrina prove that deviousness is acceptable to many. What management needs to pro
| 499 | Market Plan for Hybrid Vehicles
Introduction:
The spiraling cost of gasoline and the increasing global concern for cleaner fuels has been the single most important factor for both institutional as well as individual consumers alike to influence buying decision for cars in the coming years. For the automotive industry in general and Toyota in particular the main sustainability challenge is climate change because of rising emission due to greenhouse gases. Because of a substantial contributor to greenhouse gases, the automotive industry is attracting strict regulations in many nations. The industry's increased dependence on oil augments the challenge since governments across the world are looking forward to diversify their energy sources. To tackle these problems, T
