I think Star Wars is better than Star Trek. Why? It’s simple. Star Trek is for wimps! Yes‚ I said it. WIMPS! Star Trek is an old television show that is about a society traveling through outer space on the Starfleet Enterprise and takes place in the distant future. Not a lot happens and there isn’t a lot of action. In other words‚ there isn’t a lot of fighting and intensity. Star Wars is high intensity and loaded with actions! It is full of colorful characters and you watch it on the big screen.

Star Trek strategy: real strategy at work Strategic plans often contain generic or motherhood and apple pie statements accompanied by outcome-based “stretch” goals that are not strategy but measures to determine whether or not good strategy has been implemented. Star Trek strategy‚ as described by Peter J Brews‚ underscores how strategy must be evaluated: as a work of creative fiction sending firms boldly to go where none have gone before.

Five Star and Amtech Travis Huggard: G00059703 Professor: R. Todd Kane Grantham University Five Star and Amtech When deciding which type of culture was dominant at either 5 Star or Amtech‚ I had to look at what type of culture their presidents represented. For example‚ the president of 5 Star‚ John Tyler “believed that 5 Star was the far superior company‚ had effective managers‚ had clear responsibilities and jobs” (Daft‚ 2001).

Some people feel that entertainments (e.g. film stars‚ pop musicians or sports stars) are paid too much money. Do you agree or disagree? Which other types of job should be highly paid? Nowadays‚ many people criticise entertainers’ high salaries because they are giving less but gaining more. However‚ in my opinion‚ it is unreasonable to justify one’s income only by the amount of work they do. I strongly believe that stars are never overpaid but people in other area are actually underpaid. The
