Analysis: Response To Tactical Consideration

As the fire started, people were taking the stairs as a way out. People were falling on one another because “there were no lights in the stairway, so they had to grope their way in darkness.” (par. 6) Obviously, worker safety was not a priority because the labor was easily replaced. However, the building was not. After the fire, the fire chief found it to be “in good shape; so were the floors. It had passed the test. It was fireproof.” (par. 14) So much effort was put into making a building last, yet barely any effort was put into protecting worker lives in case of an accident because they were worth little to those who hired

The article "Beating the Heat" by Stephanie Warren Drimmer, is about two high school students who saw the suits that fire fighters wear wore fail, and as a result, 19 firefighters died. They decided to research and improve how firefighting suits are made. They discovered that designs for firefighting suits are nearly 40 years old. They discovered that the material the suits were made of would disintegrate at only half the temperature of a rapid-moving fire.

Tragedy stuck America on November 4th of 1979, when 52 hostages were seized at the American Embassy in Iran during the midst of the Iranian Revolution. Different policy approaches prompted a vast range of potential actions, and ultimately “Operation Eagle Claw” was carried out between April 21st and 25th of 1980. The two primary executive divisions in dispute during decision process were the National Security Council (NCS) and its advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski and Secretary of the Department of State (DOS), Cyrus Vance. The decision for the use of military force, rather than continuing economic sanctions and diplomacy, was due to Carter’s attempt at re-election and a lack of resistance from Congress.

When subjected to pressures, the decision maker may depend on their past experiences and default into an intuitive decision-making pattern that is easier and more normal than an analytical or methodical approach. Using intuition tempered by experience, leaders determine a suitable course of action by gaining an understanding of what is going on in the current environment. Framing the problem correctly helps the decision maker visualize potential solutions and the desired end state to counter the status quo. With an emphasis on accurate situational awareness, leaders’ intuition clarifies the most important factors, the most rational goals, and the most likely effects of their actions. To do this effectively, the decision maker should have a cumulative experience through training, education, or firsthand

In the following assignment I will be looking at the best way to establish a tactical search and rescue team. The goal of SAR is to locate, stabilize and extract people in distress. This can be a hiker on the side of a mountain, sailor lost at sea, trapped urban disaster survivor or an Alzheimer's patient wandering city streets. Each area of SAR employs techniques specific to the circumstance.

The Military Decision Making Process (MDMP) is an analytical and deliberate process that commanders follow using seven steps that includes the receipt of the mission, mission analysis, course of action development, course of action analysis, course of action comparison, course of action approval and orders production. The MDMP gives leaders a thorough process to follow that provides clarity and synchronization for operations even under time-constrained environments. We need an Army that is trained on making decisions, able to anticipate needs and able to be proactive in accomplishing tasks even when unexpected duties arise. The MDMP sets the Army up for success in getting to this point. Without the MDMP, leaders will struggle to make crucial decisions and they will certainly struggle to make them under pressure during time sensitive missions.

At the time, work seemed like the perfect idea and storming through the forward strategy plan worked a treat, it kept her focused and she started to believe that maybe, just maybe this report would finally get her somewhere; that maybe someone would admit the wrong call was made and that she should be CEO.

• Occupancy of the building – often affects fire behavior…each occupancy has different hazards & fuels, and the structural components are subjected to different temperatures, heat release, & duration.

As the new VP of Marketing at Clipboard Tablet Co., it is my duty to both analyze the results of the previous VP, and offer my own analysis on product performance for the X5, X6, and X7 tablets. Specifically, I will focus on the products themselves, their life cycles, and how they stack up in terms of price and performance. A financial review of each product will be undertaken as well, focusing on sales, costs, profitability, prices, and unit margins. I will then conduct a market review which will cover subjects ranging from new sales, previous sales, and market saturation. Finally, I will propose an alternate strategy, specifically in terms of pricing and R&D allocations.

1. Find a recent copy of BusinessWeek and read the “Corporate Strategies” section. Was the main decision discussed strategic? At what level in the organization was the key decision made?

Their strategy will be to gain notoriety slowly, and market it slowly so that they can build a larger audience for the game over time. If they were to practice rapid advertisements, for example begin marketing 2 weeks before release, then they might not have the audience size that they would like in order to boost the project to bigger numbers.

I used a general strategy throughout the entire simulation. Fist I calculated whether to overstock or understock each of the phone models. Next, I found the demand estimates based on the standard deviation and the stocking levels of each model. Also, I picked the design features based on the opinions of the members of my team, or using a consensus forecast. I did however constrain the number of features so it didn’t decrease the uncertainty in demand. The board members all had different objectives that I took into consideration throughout the simulation.

A business needs identify its strengths and weaknesses in their competitor’s relation across the entire of the business. The aim of audit provide the perfect information about every particular department and if possible very good to use the accounting or statistical data for the information.

The main reason we choose it is Dubai is because it’s a international town in the world, just same like New York, London, Tokyo and Hang Kong. Also, because of its fast globalization, great population and remarkable geographic location bring the different kinds of cultures to Dubai, such as different tourist, currency and languages. The national and official language of Dubai is Arabic and second languages is English. So, there is no languages obstruction here. We could use English to communicate with government and public and if we hire employee locally, they would be familiar with English, Arabic and other language so they can take care of different kinds of customs well.

Execution of a new strategy is always a taxing task. It necessitates the possession of significant resources, and also a well designed and engaged administrative composition. Good policy will designate a specific person who or entity who is accountable for implementing the new policy. At the outset of the execution of a new policy, a group should be identified that can oversee the new strategy in all pertinent sectors of the organization to assure various efforts within management are synchronized.
