Canadarm Case

After having a very successful performance and getting second place on the first Littlefield simulation game we knew what we needed to do to win the second simulation game. We were very eager to outperform our competition and we almost did so, but ended up in second place again with a cash balance of $2,660,393.

Which, if any, of the following initiatives undertaken by Ratan Tata do you think were good ideas?

2. List the questions raised about this situation or that you think that the investigators should ask of the

After three decades of dedication and motivation, the first snow blower was released and sold in a town called Outremont, which is close to Quebec. Similar to the snow blower, the first snow mobile was invented by Joseph – Armand Bombardier in 1937. Both of these Canadian inventions have helped out millions of people across the nation. In addition to these great inventions, there was also the Easy – Off Oven Cleaner, invented by Herbert McCool in Regina in 1932, the television camera which was improved by F.C.P Henroteau, and the zipper, which was invented by Gideon Sunback in 1925. These other inventions seem of lesser value compared to the snow blower; however they still have impacted not only Canadians, but the majority of Americans as well. The 1930’s was also a time in which Canadians were being introduced to a broader variety of entertainment, like the birth of FM radio broadcasting in 1933, invented by Edwin Armstrong, and the television, invented by Philo Farnsworth in 1943. Canada has a lot to be thanked for. In a time of great social and economic stress her people demonstrated that they were capable of creativity in serious products, many of which are still used today.

3. Seeing that the dispute involved the sale of land, specific performance is the proper award for damages to the injured party.

Another invention that Canada thought was a great asset were sonars. A sonar is a system for the detection of objects under water. They measure the depths of water by emitting sound pulses and detecting when those pulses are reflected back from the depths. During World War II, Canadian submarines used sonars to detect other vessels that may be around them. For example, by using the sonars, submarines can find German submarines (U-boats) and capture them before they cause harm. Thus, the British and Canadians were able to radar information really quickly, usually 75 percent or

The City of New London was in major economic debt and wanted to build buildings to provide attraction and get money. They used its eminent domain authority to seize private property to sell to private developers. The office facilities were going to give multiple jobs to people who were in need of it and increase money which would be given to the city. The office facility was planned to be built where Kelo resided. There would also be other facilities such as restaurants, shopping centers, and parks. Kelo would be given a compensation but she didn’t want anyone to destroy her precious home that she adored so much. Whether it had destroyed her home or not the Constitution says if the building is for the public then the it does not go against the Constitution’s 5th amendment.

The Canadarm is arguably Canada’s most famous robotic invention ever created. It first made its way to space on November 13th, 1981, and was later retired. Because of the Canadarm’s success, Canada had another creation built in April 2001, the Canadarm2. Both Canadarms had the same use: to maneuver, position, and capture payloads, they also moved astronauts from one place to another.

Labelle v. Rogers Communications Inc. Deborah P. Labelle filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission on September 3, 2009 against Rogers Communications Inc. The complainant, Labelle feels that Rogers Communications Inc. the respondent, discriminated against her because she is a woman. This falls under section 3 of the CHRA which covers and protects against sex discrimination. Labelle alleges she was treated differently compared to her male counterparts and was eventually fired from her position. The complainant filed this complaint on the grounds of sex discrimination.

Canada is known to have quite significant and famous contributions to the International Space Station, including the Canadarm, Canadarm2, and of course, Dextre. It was launched on March 11, 2008, and signified many milestones in the field of space exploration. This self-repairing robot is designed to reduce the amount of risky spacewalks for astronauts, allowing them to designate more of their time in space for research.19 Prior to Dextre’s installation, robotic reparations in space have never been heard of; astronauts were always required to go out on spacewalks to manually repair the station. For example, had a battery died or camera malfunctioned, an astronaut would have had to get harnessed to the outside of the station or shuttle and maneuver their way to the maintenance site. And with its ability to be controlled from Earth, astronauts on the station have the peace of mind knowing that all malfunctions would be taken care of, without their

The Timken Company – a leader in the bearing industry, is considering acquiring the Torrington Company. Torrington Company, a leading manufacturer of needle roller bearings which is an engineering solution segment from Ingersoll-Rand. Both companies operate and compete in same business and therefore, Timken is seeking substantial operating synergies from this largest acquisition of its history. With this acquisition, Timken is increasing the size of company by almost 50 percent. And, Timken will continue to concentrate on what it do best by buying a company in an industry, where it has a leadership position built on decades of expertise. Timken expects to expand its worldwide business base with new products and services as both companies

Founded by J.W. Nordstrom in 1880 as a small shoe store, by 1995 Nordstrom had become a giant retailer with net earnings of $203 million and over 35,000 employees. Nordstrom remains a family operation to date. The idea of the ‘Nordstrom Way’ - with strong commitment to the firm, emphasis on proactive service, no external hiring, and a decentralized management structure (e.g., Nordstrom has no CEO) - is central to their employee relations, and is seen as central to their success. Average compensation within the company is above industry average.

Rob Griffin, the senior vice president and U.S. director of search for Media contacts, a media consulting firm, is faced with the task of optimizing search engine marketing (SEM) for Air France as the company seeks to compete in the hyper-competitive U.S. market. Even though Griffin is satisfied with the performance of his company, he wants to make the team to remain the leading position and provide the results that Air France wanted. At the time of the case, SEM has become an advertising phenomenon, with North American advertisers spent $ 9.4 billion in the SEM channel, up to 62% in 2005. In the past, Media contacts h had concentrated on Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo for the search engine

The Canadian Aeronautics Administration (CAA) has commissioned two contracting companies, Hollenbeck Aircraft and Eskina Software Systems, to build a set of giant robotic arms known as Retractable Extended-Arms Compatible Holder, or REACH, for the International Space Station. The REACH project has a deadline of six years. It has been noted that under normal circumstances the project would take around 10 years but there are time constraints due to political pressure in the form of threats to cut funding to the CAA and deadlines for construction on the space station itself. The time constraints have been of the utmost importance to the project. But, while the contractors have maintained the deadlines,
