Matthias Kipping and Ludovic Cailluet Mintzberg’s Emergent and Deliberate Strategies: Tracking Alcan’s Activities in Europe‚ 1928–2007 The management scholar Henry Mintzberg has situated company strategies on a continuum that ranges from those that are the result of deliberate internal decisions‚ on one extreme‚ to those that emerge largely as a response to external forces‚ on the other. This framework is applied to the strategies of the Canadian aluminum producer Alcan‚ in Europe‚ from its origins

What are mineral resources? Mineral resources are the natural resources which cannot be renewed. Examples of mineral resources Gold Salt Tin Limestone Iron ore Coal Iron Manganese Rubber Aluminium Marbles They are also used to produce useful things. Some of these useful things are: Soap Jewelleries e.g. chain bracelet e.t.c. Batteries And so on NAMES OF MINERAL RESOURCES‚ WHERE IT IS FOUND AND ITS USES. Limestone: Limestone is a sedimentary

used to reduce these. 1. Extraction costs:-Affected by depth‚ overburden quality‚ drainage problems‚ size of deposit. 2. Processing costs :-The cost of extracting a metal depends upon the other elements with which it is combined.eg aluminium is most abundant in clay but can only be economically extracted from bauxite 3. Purity 4. The financial cost‚ energy required and quantity of ore-bearing rock extracted all increase rapidly as ore purity decreases. 5. Land conflicts:-Competing

Lab 2 Tensile Test Abstract The aim behind this experiment was to put Mild steel‚ copper and aluminium through a tensile test‚ with Mild steel being tabulated and graphed to show its properties and how they could be used in the real world. Introduction/Theory Tensile testing is one of the most simple and widely used materiel tests available. It is used to characterize the mechanical properties of the material and has direct implications on the design and construction of the end product. This test

They are‚ in decreasing quantity‚ 1 oxygen‚ 2 silicon‚ 3 aluminium‚ 4 iron‚ 5 calcium‚ 6 sodium‚ 7 potassium‚ 8 magnesium. Approximately 112 minerals have been identified‚ and are listed on chemical charts called periodic tables. Minerals are essential for good health and for growth and just the right amounts

Beryllium and magnesium These are just like the reactions with dilute hydrochloric acid‚ and you have probably been familiar with the reaction between magnesium and dilute sulphuric acid almost since you started doing chemistry. Bubbles of hydrogen are formed‚ together with colourless solutions of beryllium or magnesium sulphate. For example: Calcium‚ strontium and barium Calcium sulphate is sparingly soluble‚ and you can think of strontium and barium sulphates as being insoluble

Threat of substitutes will further reduce as steel is already replacing its major substitute aluminium in a number of industries.
