Back Bay Battery Simulation The Back Bay battery simulation presents the managers with a dilemma of choosing between an established, profitable product and a new innovative opportunity. The decision has to be taken through investments in R&D and also make sales forecast for the coming year. Even though, the main aim of this exercise was to generate maximum profit but it actually is a way of analysing complex information and making decisions with the help of news flash updates about current trends
Gentrification, a very controversial topic that has just recently been brought to the surface in the past few years, is “the process of renovating and improving a house or district so that it conforms to middle-class taste” (“Gentrification”). The two central arguments behind gentrification reflect its deeply political controversy. One side of the political spectrum argues that gentrification decreases the rate of crime and increases a neighborhood’s value, while the other side argues that gentrification
services, two insurance buildings dominate Boston’s skyline. The Hancock Tower and the Prudential Center are structures that display the uneven change and the urban development that has occurred in this city over the course 19th century. Located in back bay these edifices work with the directionalities of their adjacent streets and the cultural history of the structures that surround them. Boston’s foundation was composed in a manner that designated and organized space. This creates the tension and

1. What was your strategy going into the simulation? Market data analysis stressed two main facts: i) the promising potential of ultracapacitors and ii) surfacing mature market conditions for conventional NiMH batteries. The first piece of information implied that it would be critical to beat the competition and be the first company to offer customers the features and benefits they demanded in the new product. That would have allowed Back Bay to gain a competitive advantage and keep existing customers

Introduction What is your topic/issue within that topic? Eutrophication is a concern in the Chesapeake Bay. Eutrophication is caused by excessive amounts of nutrients. Excessive nutrients in the bay have negative effects on the bay's ecosystem. The extra nutrients make the environment unbalanced. The extra nutrients cause a chain reaction that eventually kills most of the organisms in that area. This is what is known as a dead zone. What is your personal interest in the topic?

Political and Legal Influences There have been nearly 400,000 surgeries across the nation involving the da Vinci in 2013, nearly tripling the number just four years prior. There have been number incidents with the robotic surgeon, some including that the hand wouldn’t let go of tissue during the surgery and the robotic arm hitting the face of a woman as she lay there being operated on. These machines are generally used to remove gallbladders, prostates, wombs, to repair heart valves, and help
through this joint stock company to their new colony——Massachusetts Bay Colony. Later on, the money that the Massachusetts Bay Company gained became capital to create new lives in New English and as a simulation of economics to all colonies. The government used the local taxes to build up churches and supported schools. One of the most powerful religious leaders at that time called John Winthrop even stated that “the Massachusetts Bay Colony must become ‘city on a hill’.”(study.com). Because of the
