Government Abuse In America

United Parcel Service, a logistics company has established itself through its strong corporate culture, continuous ability to innovate, and its far-reaching global network. The company has maintained a competitive advantage over the years by implementing continuous growth strategies—the first was geographic expansion, next the early adaptation of electronic tracking technologies, and then came a series of acquisitions. Although UPS is financially strong and is able to maintain its role in the courier and delivery industry—it is vital that UPS continue to act strategically as to strive for long-term success. UPS is heavily dependent on the U.S. economy and it is important that it find greater and more profitable ventures

Abuse of power and control evidently plays a huge role in the dystopian society described by George Orwell in his startling novel , 1984. The political party in control despises any concepts they can’t control so they try to undermine the feelings of pleasure and love to gain more control over the people they govern. “Big Brother” does not want individuals to be forming relationships and bonds it could not possibly break or control because they fear that it could hinder someone's unconditional loyalty towards the party and it’s ideals. The pleasure and eroticism in sex doesn’t exist in this society; the party believes that all sexual acts should be of benefit for the party and the only reason of intercourse would be to create new party members.

a) Economies of scale—the top three carriers (Federal Express, UPS, and Airborne Express) serve slightly more than 85% of the domestic express mail market. All three carriers deliver a high volume of packages, and thus, are able to spread fixed costs over more units. Also, each carrier has integrated technological systems that improved operational efficiency. In addition, intensive training programs of employees increase service and delivery efficiency.

In Daniel Stone’s editorial article, “Flying Like an Eagle”, he advises the USPS some guidance to boost up their profit and their usage to the community. One of his inputs on the

Does the United State government abuse their powers? In May 1787 55 wealthy white males went to philadelphia they were all responding to the call of the constitution convention. A new constitution was needed to create a stronger central government, to hold the newly formed country to hold itself together. How does the constitution prevent the government from abusing its powers?The constitution prevents tyranny with the use of federalism. In the American government there are powers given to the state and powers given to the central government. James Madison stated “... the power surrendered by the people is first divided between two distinct governments...’’(Doc A), this is called federalism. They both check each other to make sure they don’t

In America, the debate over the warranted degree of government involvement in one’s daily life is ever-present. As citizens, Americans demand protection and security from our leaders. In return, they provide capital, ingenuity, and a responsibility to society. As can especially be seen in the current time of recession and bailouts, citizens rely on the government to regulate and stabilize of our economy - to act on behalf of their wellbeing. However, this has not always been the case. Subsequent to western expansion, the government was hesitant to impose regulations upon its citizens, especially in relation to their economic pursuits. Political leaders relied on powerful businessmen’s’ support for occupational security - so formed the

FedEx has two major customers who consist of businesses and individual customers. These business customers have accounts with FedEx to arrive at their location to pick up packages daily or weekly. Two-thirds of FedEx’s business comes from these customers so FedEx curves their operations to satisfy this clientele. Since FedEx’s competition is trying to acquire some of this clientele they have begun to operate and market to this clientele more effectively. Individual customers are also in FedEx’s internal environment. These customers represent one-third of their business. With increased competition from competitors FedEx has marketed to this market substantially. They have created boxes that are prepaid for shipment as long as the contents fit into the box. This has effectively increased business amongst individual customers for FedEx.

In this report we focus on the two main competitors in the package delivery industry: Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) and United Parcel Service of America, Inc.

The United States Postal Service competes with UPS and also is a support role for UPS. Currently the USPS is a competitor of UPS, providing door to door delivery of parcels six days a week. The USPS is using a low-cost rate play while losing billions of dollars each quarter (Katz, 2015). UPS also uses the USPS for the last leg of delivery in the supply chain. UPS costs increase when delivering a ground package to a very rural destination. UPS works with the USPS to deliver packages while adding one additional day in transit under a deferred shipping service called Surepost (Cordell, 2015). UPS also uses a bulk mail service called UPS Mail Innovations to delivery media mail and small parcels (What is UPS Mail Innovations, n.d.).

By 1976, at a volume of 1,300 packages per day, FedEx’s Courier Pack service was only fulfilling one tenth of a percent of the “emergency rush” market, which totaled 870,000 packages delivered per day. By comparison, at 13,400 deliveries per day, the company’s Priority One “emergency rush” service accounted for one percent of the total market. Clearly both services have potential to gain more share of the rush delivery market, but the Courier Pack’s untapped potential is nearly limitless. Surely, the remaining 98 percent or so of customers using competing services for emergency rush delivery, including Emery Air Freight and USPS Express Service, are not familiar with Fed Ex’s less expensive, and more consistent Courier Pack service, and would switch brands with heightened awareness gained through careful marketing.

A FedEx employee picks up the customer’s box and scans it so FedEx recognizes it. Now the product is registered and traceable. The product is then taken to a sorting center where it is classified according to its destination. The package is put on a belt where it is measured and a price tag is determined. In the next step, the packages are put into containers. These containers are loaded in aircrafts directed by a control

UPS has been in the package delivery business for 95 years, providing services to businesses and consumers worldwide in more than 200 countries. In 1994, UPS began to investigate the potential of e-commerce and started an internal group focused on enabling e-commerce. UPS redefined its core business and found ways to change its structure and processes, forming new businesses to take advantage of new opportunities. UPS was interested in finding ways to leverage their extensive infrastructure and expertise in basic transportation of goods, services, and
