Why Is Heidenrich's Writing Too Constrained?

Information – business intelligence – is no longer the exclusive domain of IT or research departments. From marketing and finance to management and operations, intelligence is applied strategically throughout the enterprise. And professionals who know how to gather and leverage it are the ones who will lead organizations, control decisions, and be relied upon to steer their companies.

According to Abelard morally wrong action are distinguished by four things. First, there is a mental vice that makes us prone to sin, such as lust and desire, followed second by the sin itself which is dependant on the situation. Third is the will for evil and finally the doing of evil. He holds these separate for “to will and to fulfill the will are not the same, so to sin and to perform the sin are not the same”(2-511-L).

According to Robert Jervis, “Policymakers say they need and want good intelligence. They do need it, but often they do not like it, and are prone to believe that when intelligence is not out to get them, it is incompetent.” In order for intelligence to be

Some of the concepts/models that are applied to strategic problems vary in meaning depending on the setting one is in whether it be in the actual real world or in the classroom. These

The use of intelligence led policing in real world is very interesting to me, yet cannot understand why in the past certain individuals had a hard time accepting a perfect strategic plan that could be utilized throughout the criminal justice agency. ILP literally makes the job much easier for n officers or detectives to catch a criminal who has done a crime within 48 hours. It is really amazing how a victim can tell you a few characteristic of the suspect and in that moment the officer can make a phone call to intelligence giving them the information they gathered. In return those individual sums up more information that helps locate the suspect whereabouts. The use of ILP will be use more than we expect, there just need to be more people that needs to be educating on how important and beneficial the

I have to agree with Ehrenreich that there is no job unskilled. Even jobs that require simple tasks still requires the employee attention and practice to master perfection. I thought Ehrenreich did well while working in low-wage jobs. She is a good observer. Looking for a shelter, safe place to sleep can be difficult especially for a woman. I think the way welfare works in this country is obsolete in somehow unfair. The poor is limited by politicians regulations. The government does not help. The government as is usual allures people. Ehrenreich project shows the welfare problem on her book. From her book, I assume how much taxes the rich, the poor are or aren’t paying. With Ehrenreich project, I learned how little I know about how the poor

Many of the decisions faced by Ehrenreich during her experience came into conflict with how she valued efficiency, fairness and democracy. Ehrenreich is first forced to sacrifice efficiency when she discovers there are no low-income dwellings near possible low-income jobs (13-14). She is forced to waste time on a 45-minute commute because of this situation. However, the inefficiency of her coworkers’ living conditions is even worse. Because they can’t afford to put a down payment on a place to live, they have to pay day by day at a hotel. In the long run this adds up to be more expensive. They also do not have the means to prepare bulk food, a strategy that would save money on meals (21). Bowles et al defines efficiency as applying the inputs

Ehrenreich tries the experiment one last time, but now in Minnesota. When she arrives in the city, she has an apartment to stay in for a few days until she finds a place to live and work. Here Ehrenreich spends more time looking for a place to live than in the other cities. The vacancy rate in Minneapolis was “less than 1%”. Because of this, Ehrenreich was unable to find an apartment to stay in and weekly and monthly hotels were also hard to find. She decides to settle with what she can find and keep looking later. Minnesota is where she meets Caroline. She could not survive in Queens NY “So she decided to take off for Florida, where she had heard the rents were lower. What she has was their clothes, the Greyhound tickets, and 1,600 in cash”(132). There Caroline worked cleaning

What is a monster? Before taking this class, my understanding of a monster was a person or thing with truly heinous intentions such as murder or torture. A true monster has no empathy or sympathy they seek to hurt or destroy for the mere enjoyment and pleasure they seem to receive as a reward for fulfilling there desires. The motivation of a real monster is to show their power over the weak and to establish absolute control. Monsters have no definitive appearance; they can fall anywhere on the spectrum from beautiful to deformed. The fear should really come from the fact that you never know who or what could be a monster. Does humanity create monsters? In reality, yes whether it

Heger’s master-slave theory does apply to Flanney O’Connor’s short story, “Revelation”, in relation to Mrs. Turpin and the people she met. In the story, Mrs. Turpin suffers from the falsehood of comparing her lifestyle with other poor slaves, leaving her to ignore the sufferings of the slaves, known as Colored people. Heger’s master-slave theory states that conflict between the self and the other-self is necessary in order to understand the situations between the master and the slave. What Heger’s theory suggests is that Mrs. Turpin has become narrow-minded and self-consciousness with her own life that she develops a “white ignorance” towards the enslavement and injustice of colored people. In other words, Mrs. Turpin never takes the time to

Competitive Intelligence (CI) can be defined as coordinated research of an organization’s competition within a specific industry. CI assesses those who compete for market share and attempts to guess the actions of competitors before those actions are introduced in the marketplace. The vision of Strategic and Competitive Intelligence Professionals (SCIP) is, “Better decisions through competitive intelligence” (Vision & Mission, n.d. para. 1). SCIP’s mission, in part is to, “be the global organization of choice for professionals engaged in competitive intelligence and related disciplines” (Vision & Mission, n.d. para. 2).

The article firsts starts explaining any company and their competitors know that global supply rises and falls, and demand rises and falls, GDP and weather etc. Where each industry have different strategies and in order to be successful you will need to beat your competitors to those strategies. Where companies are working in different sectors should make plans and developing in altered way, but studies showed they are not.

Kirkham had a 'strategy' on paper, but it was too vague to help select which New Product Development to fund/cancel. The Harvard professors presented tools to help structure these decisions, but division leaders did not want to see their projects cut, so they criticized the list and delayed action, resulting in no development or implementation of a strategy.

Mintzberg further states that the strategy-making process should include summarizing the data that the manager has acquired from all sources and then synthesizing that data into a vision of the path which the company should follow (Mintzberg, 1994). He continues his ideas by stating that “Planners should make their contribution around the strategy-making process rather than inside it” (Mintzberg, 1994, p. 108). He believes that the planner should not be the one creating the plan, but rather the one who supplies the needed analysis, or data, to the strategic thinkers. An analogy that comes to mind is in my previous job whereby the exceptions processing representatives were a type of advanced data entry representatives. Not only would they extrapolate the data received, but they were also required to forward it to the proper department for processing. They did not make any decision on how to use the data, but instead, directed that data to the group that
