There are several facts in this case. The first fact is that the three companies are competitors in the retail market serving the US market, among other markets in Asia and also South America.

3 Rules to spark learning
Curiosity comes first, embrace the mess, and practice reflection are three golden rules of wisdom provided by Ramsay Musallam to teachers and educators, although require attention from people belonging to every walk of life.

I strongly believe that the finance department offers the best training to future CEOs of both private and publicly-traded companies. Research studies reveal that financial management is the most common metric that stakeholders use to evaluate business performance. It is best that the Chief Financial Officer becomes the CEO because of his or her experience in financial management (Brewis, 1999). The financial department provides training to the chief financial officer on how to manage the organization’s financial resources.
Over the years, the role of the chief financial officer has changed from the mere functional leadership to corporate ...

The dispute between rationalism and empiricism is found within a branch of philosophy called epistemology, is all about the extent to which humans are dependent on sense experience in the quest to acquire knowledge.

On the other hand, empiricists think that sense experience is the only source of all concepts and knowledge. But Immanuel Kant sought to give a solution and therefore solve the dispute between these two arguments.
Kant argues that the method and the content found in these two ...

Adult learning process is different from childhood learning. At this point, adults are concerned about absorbing more information at a faster pace so that whatever they learned, they can immediately apply in their lives. They come with various experiences and responsibilities, thus, they are unique in the sense that they are more self-directed, motivated, and goal-oriented (Kenner & Weinerman, 2011, p. 88). They want to be involved in the learning process, which helps them define their learning goals easily and directly. These traits push them to dig down into their personal and work experiences, their education, and familial responsibilities in order ...

The short story entitled “Monsters” by Anna Quindlen was told from the narrator’s point of view, possibly the author, on the symbolism of monsters under the bed for children. The literary discourse started with the alleged arrival of the monster under the bed, as acknowledged from the perspective of the narrator’s son and relayed through a small dialogue. A trip down memory lane was initially presented remembering the narrator’s childhood experience and depiction of a similar monster. Subsequent discussion provided reflective points that rationalize how parents should address the matter in terms of strategies that would effectively justify a ...

Education is no longer an entity of its own, separated from other realms of society. It no longer can follow just the form of the classical theorists, separated from business and government as if it is its own entity. Rather, it has emerged to be a combination of business, politics, and the necessity of scoring a set minimum on standardized tests. There are still elements of the classical theorists in the traditional classrooms. Schools need formal rules in order to have existence and a sense of order. Often, students are offered extrinsic rewards as incentives for their good behavior, excellent performance on ...

Boeing outsourced 70% of the contents of the 787 to various other manufacturers from different countries largely to slash production costs, which in effect it did. The development cost that was estimated at $8 Billion was therefore shared between the different companies that were charged with the responsibility of building specific Boeing 787 parts. The idea here was that tapping world class expertise at its current location was much cheaper that flying them out and hiring them as part of the already large Boeing work force. This greatly reduced the cost of production by huge margins, much to Boeing’ ...

1. Type of consumer buying decision
The buying decisions, which characterize purchases at Ethel’s can be best described by limited decision making (Lamb, Hair & McDaniel, 2011).

Firstly, most of the Ethel’s customers are already familiar with the taste of chocolate, however, they may not be aware of the Ethel’s chocolate brand. Secondly, although consumers feel involved with a particular chocolate brand or experience, it is highly unlikely that they will put extra effort in searching further information on ...

Q1) What strategic path should Jim Harris choose? What are the major issues influencing your opinion?

After analyzing the case study, it can be concluded that the best strategy for Harris would be to go for strategic growth through acquisitions. One of the major reasons supporting this view is that the other two options available to Harris while may prove to be safer, the fact is that Harris will profit in future only if he continues with the business following acquisitions. One of the major hurdles in the growth of Optitech has been the growing number of competitors. Since Optitech sits on huge valuation and revenues, it would benefit immensely by way to acquisitions.
