requires more time and dedication to your classes. College learning is not about last minute preparations or memorizing facts; it’s about taking your time studying the material to make sure you understand what the last 20 pages you read were telling you.

I was a teenage mother‚ trying to do my homework and study to prepare

I decided to go back to school and what was challenging was the decision to even go back to school. Two questions I had about that problem of dropping out were‚ do I really want to go back to school?

There has been a shift in the “Daily We” paradigm (each member acting for the good of the whole with a strong sense of community) to the “Daily Me” –people acting in their self-interest‚ doing what they want with total disregard for their impact on the community as a whole (Bennett 4/7/16). This “Daily Me” has led to consumption levels beyond reason in developed economies‚ like the American. In fact‚ Rob Deitz and Dan O’Neill put forth an argument

1) Which of the four basic strategy types were used by GM? Explain your rationale. GM is a defender. Even though they slimmed down dramatically they still managed to regain their title from Toyota. They are experts at what they make and I am sure they would use the slogan “We’re sticking with the basics.” GM wants to down size the number of platforms they use so they can make the most out of the fewer platforms. 2) Based on the case‚ what is GM’s vision?
