Cooper Case

In the case of Mike Smith, I believe that both Dr. Carter and Dr. Green made correct initial predictions of Mike’s injured area. I became more convinced that Mike’s symptoms were due to damage of both the brain and spinal cord especially after examining his summary of diagnostic testing results. The reason I say the brain is damaged is because, although his speech, counting, memory, and organization of thoughts are not affected, his vision is. Therefore, the section in Mike’s brain that is responsible for vision, the Thalamus, was clearly affected by the accident. Plus, the sensation in his touch and temperature did not disappear completely but they definitely declined. Other than this, I believe the rest of his conditions were due to damage

The first of Porter’s Five Forces is the threat of new entrants. According to the case study, there has been a wave of new entrants to the retail industry. These include Best Buy, Costco, Wal-Mart, Old Navy and the recently irrelevant, Target Canada. The second force, the threat of substitute products or services, is also prevalent in the retail market. Inevitably, the target audience that the Hudson’s Bay Company is trying to cater to, will shop at other retail stores for the same goods due to consumers behaviours and preferences. Another impacting force is the bargaining power of suppliers. However, this force does not play as large of an impact to HBC as one might initially assume. Traditionally, HBC among other large retail stores makes a large percentage of their

Youngstown was the industrial heart of Ohio with a thriving steel industry that lasted for several generations. However, Youngstown’s Industry began to deindustrialize in the late 1970s with steel companies moving down to the south of the country. Deindustrialization meant the removal or decline of industry within an area. For example, the steel mills of Youngstown closed and never opened again creating thousands of unemployed workers. It all began with September 19th, 1977, the day that created the domino effect that would create the downfall for the Youngstown’s industry and other steel mills across the mid-west states of Michigan and Indiana. This day, know as Black Monday, was “the beginning of the end” according to Steven High (102). It began with the closing of the Campbell Steel Mill and several months later the four remaining steel mills closed and moved to the south creating the new Sunbelt. As a result, Youngstown became a Rustbelt with a declining population and failing steel industry.

I believe that it´s the same offender in the Parkinson case and the Johnson case, which is making the offender a serial killer because he has killed 3 people and it has been over a period over 30 days. By looking at different serial killer typologies my firm belief is that this offender will fall into the lust serial killer typology. I concluded this by firstly looking if the crimes were act-focused kills or process kills, I concluded it was process kills because the offender had taken the time to abduct both Parkinson and Johnson and didn 't just kill them right away like an act-focused killer would do. With the offender being a process killer he could only be organized as well because process killers cannot be disorganized. The offender would either be a lust killer, power-control killer or a thrill killer. I concluded that the offender in this case would not be a thrill serial killer, since this kind of murderer gets off my seeing his victims suffering, which is the most important factor for this type of offender. In the Parkinson and Johnson murders there were no signs of torture on the victims bodies and therefore I do not believe that this offender would be a thrill serial killer.

The previous 959.6m Amoco shares will convert into 633.336m shares of BP ADS equivalent, with the previous 965.6m ADS shares, BP shareholders will take part 60% of the new company, still have majority control over the firm. In this deal, we paid for about 20% premium, which is quite standard and normal. Because synergies from revenue and chemical divisions’ combination are not estimated nor not expected to bring benefit, the main synergy from the merge is 2 billion dollars saving of pretax operating cost. The value we create for our shareholders is $14,840.06 million (Amoco stand-alone value $46,430 million+ synergy $2 billion – price paid for Amoco $33,538.94). But this number is quite sensitive to a lot of factors, such as future energy demand, oil and gas price, industry growth potentials, ultimately affecting Amoco’s stand-alone and synergy valuation.

There were many reasons why Nicholson was a good acquisition target for Cooper. In accordance with the 3 criteria established in 1966 for Cooper’s all acquisitions, Cooper is already becoming a major factor in the handtool industry when it acquired the Lufkin Rule Company in which more companies were acquired. The Nicholson File Company is an attractive acquisition target as it meets all 3 criteria. The Nicholson did possess 3 important fundamentals not yet translated into earnings. They were the 50% market share leadership in the $50-million market for files and rasps, the third market leadership with a 9% market share in the hand saw and saw blade ($200-million market) and finally the distribution system which provided a market reach of 53,000 retail outlets in the US and Canada

Simmons should roll out the GGOL program in order to repair incongruence between the firm’s current culture and its strategy, as well as a misalignment between its present culture and CEO Charlie Eitel’s desired culture. The $7.2 million price tag is a substantial investment in light of the company’s +5 times EBITDA leverage ratio and will face resistance from Fenway Partners, the private equity shop that bought Simmons in 1998. We have identified Eitel’s sources of power, as well as how he should leverage those to influence the employees and Fenway that this risky solution is in fact the ideal solution.
