    Sharp

    Sharp’s third quarter results showed very disappointing performance. The company reported a ¥249.1 billion ($3.12 billion) loss. Moreover, it is forecasting a ¥450 billion, or $5.6 billion, loss for the fiscal year through 2013. Apparently, the company is burning through more cash than it is generating and having difficulty in securing short-term financing. Also, the company is considering selling some holding in other companies and office building in Tokyo. Furthermore, it’s thinking to sell television assembly plants in Mexico and China, which would reduce its payroll by 3,000 jobs, added to the 5,000 positions assigned for layoff earlier this year. The company has decided to cut the current Sharp’s payroll by 14%. In addition, Sharp 's shares are down 75% this year. This paper will conduct a situation analysis of internal and external environment of Sharp’s weak performance. It will also summarize the primary causes of company’s weak performance.…

His predecessor, Reg Jones, had set the bar extremely high at the company leaving a legacy for Welch to compete with as the new CEO. Also, acquiring new businesses and ensuring that each business unit under the GE umbrella was one of the best in its field was another challenge.…

    Sustainable resource management deals with the protection of all natural resources. People investigate how we use resources, how we should use them (which isn’t always how we do use them), what affects them, and how they can be best protected and preserved. They try to manage the way people and organizations interact with natural resources to ensure their long-term availability. The word itself is the key. Sustainability presumes something or products can be created indefinitely. The management aspect is to calculate all the variables and see if it can be created with the least amount of energy. It is also recognised how the human energy input is required to be part of the process ie, labour calculations. Along the line of this action/reaction there will be losses. Unfortunately because we live in a highly political society, interventions occurs either for the benefit of the whole or possibly on rare occasions to the greatest good for all.…

    Elena Poniatowska

    1968 was a year of student revolts in many places, but as Elena Poniatowska reminds us in her 68th prologue by Paco Ignacio Taibo II, the only city in which they massacred hundreds of people was Mexico. The chapters in the book are short, in them we know how everything was created: "We lived surrounded by the magic of the Cuban revolution and the Vietnamese resistance", but also stunned by the death of Che, and drunk with cinema, music and poetry. The protagonists did not surpass the circle of a dozen of university schools and faculties, and militated in all the tendencies of the extreme left, although they did not know much of the real working class.…

    Susan Bordo

    Susan Bordo an author who writes about how the American culture has always shown and used women's bodies throughout our history and to most is considered completely normal. In the print “Beauty Rediscovers the Male Body” Bordo states “naked female body became an object of mainstream consumption”(Bordo 168). She explains that the female body was completely normal for people to look at while on the other hand showing a naked male body was considered a taboo that most people were afraid to break. Over the history of time mainstream perceptions of masculinity have changed dramatically! Everything from ads, movies, fashion, character, and what is socially acceptable in todays world has changed since Bordo’s writings. When men started to show more of there bodies people reacted quite differently toward what was being showed. Men were not suppose to be viewed in a sexual manner unlike females. Although this seemed quite unusual at the time it was the start of something completely new that would change the world and how we view masculinity to this day.…

    Katherina Minola

    Katherina Minola agrees to obey Petruchio in the final scene as she claims in her big speech, that once married, women are a property of the husband, like the church is a subject unto Christ, so the wives should be their husbands everything. This is shown in line 155 when Katherina Minola says that “such duty as the subject owes the prince.” She believes in this, as throughout her time with Petruchio, she has not got what she has wanted due to her aggressive behaviour before, and Petruchio giving a tastes of her own medicine by acting like how she was perceived to be by others, made her realise that going at him straight on the way she had done her whole life was not working at all, but by seeming to obey him, she finds a better way to get what she wants. Upon seeing Bianca and the Widows’ behavior, gives her a chance to not only please Petruchio but also show them the journey of ‘taming’ she had went through in order to gain love from her husband and what she wanted. She compares this relationship yet again with one’s husband being the leader of the wife, like Christ being the leader of the church, which is shown in line 147 with “thy husband is thy lord, they life, thy keeper, thy head, thy sovereign; one that loves for thee.” Overall, the main reason why she obeyed her husband in the last scene was to please Petruchio so she could get what she wanted through love form her husband.…
