1. Evaluate Restoration Hardware using the value chain and competitive forces models. How is the company responding to the forces that influence it? Potential Entrants: Threat of new entrants is high because there are already many in the industry so it is obviously easy to enter. Industry Competitors: Rivalry among existing firms is high. Pottery Barn‚ Pier 1‚ and Williams Sonoma are a few. Competitors have greater financial‚ marketing‚ and operational resources. Substitutes: Threat of

Two accounting software programs‚ Sage Peachtree and Microsoft Dynamics‚ were tested under similar conditions for a direct comparison. General information categories were created with more specific segments to pit both of the programs against each other. The reaction to each segment was based on a Liker Scale‚ where each segment was graded 1-5 based on the following criteria: 1-Completely dissatisfied/very difficult 2-Slightly dissatisfied/moderately difficult 3-Neutral 4-Satisified/not difficult

Tutorial 5&6: 1. A trickling filter has a diameter of 20 m and a depth of 2.5 m. It is operated with a direct recirculation ratio of 1.0‚ and the influent sewage flow rate is 3 ML/d. Influent BOD to the primary tank is 200 mg/L‚ and the BOD removal efficiency in that tank is 35 percent. Compute the organic load on the trickling filter. 2. A grit of specific gravity 2.8 flows into a grit chamber‚ 1.5-m wide‚ 10.5-m long and 2.5-m deep. The flow-rate of wastewater into the chamber is 2 m3/s.
