Corporate Strategy and Policy A Template for Structural Analysis of an Industry You can use the following template for analyzing the structure of an industry. It requires you to rate the attractiveness of an industry on a 5-point scale for several factors relating to each of the five forces in Porter’s (1980) model.

redundancy for flight safety is achieved because of availability and location of control surfaces. Higher aspect ratio wings can be used because of inherently reduced bending moments on the wing and overall aircraft gross weight is reduced due to structural and aerodynamic efficiency. This is different from a biplane‚ in which the wings are stacked more or less vertically‚ one above the other‚ such that their lift vectors are very close together and a separate horizontal stabilizer surface

Small Cars: New Paradigm Shift? Our country has long had an obsession with the automobile. The designs of the sixties and seventies remain fond memories that still dominate our garages and car shows today. Nobody can be anybody without owning a car in today’s culture. It is a status symbol. Our society equates bigger with better. The bigger and more expensive the car you own‚ the higher your status must be. Everywhere you go there are Escalades and Navigators.

Structural Functionalism Parsons divides the social system into four subsystems; community‚ fiduciary‚ polity and economy. These action systems are intended to address the functional requirements that must be met by society. Each of these subsystems are capable of evolving in order to meet the current needs of society.

Structural Functionalism & Conflict Theory Karl Marx and Max Weber were the first conflict theorists in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Following Marx and Weber were three mid-20th century conflict theorists: Lewis Coser‚ Ralf Dahrendorf‚ and Randall Collins. Coser draws his theoretical ideas from Simmel. Like Simmel‚ Coser maintains that conflict is healthy for society. In contrast‚ Dahrendorf combines theoretical ideas from Marx and Weber. Dahrendorf sees power as the main feature in all

The theory I found in the text was structural family therapy. Family structure “refers to the way a family is organized into subsystems whose interactions are regulated by interpersonal boundaries”‚ (Nichols‚ 2013‚ pg. 124). How structural family therapy is applied is when the subsystems have unclear boundaries. Those unclear boundaries force the family member to become isolated or disengaged
