 Read this please: Work with no.1 tree of heaven please, thats my topic

For this post you will become an expert on an invasive species. If you are the first person to post, read the first plant profile (Tree-of-Heaven) the second person to post, read the second plant profile (Maltese Star-Thistle), etc.

To avoid working on a post that another student is working on, you are encouraged to submit a placeholder post and then submit a second post with your response once you’re done. If there are 6 people in your group, one of the invasive species will have two posts. Please assure you all use different sources for the invasive species that has a second post.

Click on one of the invasive species plant profiles below:

Post Requirements:

This assignment requires two posts, each completed individually. Both of your posts need to be written in your own words. No credit will be given for responses copied directly from the plant profile.

First Post – Due Thursday

1. List the top three reasons you feel this species is of concern in the Los Angeles River Watershed. For reach reason, explain why this makes this plant a cause for concern.  Be sure to support your argument with evidence from the plant profile you read.
2. Based on the distribution of the plant (see the maps), biology and ecology and the methods of eradication, do you think it is possible to safely eradicate (completely remove) this species from the watershed? Why or why not? Support your argument with specifics from the plant profile.

You may pick from any of the following companies for the strategic plan – Caterpillar, 3M, Dupont, NVIDIA, Occidental Petroleum, AutoZone, eBay, Activision Blizzard (must be on NYSE/NASDAQ)

PART I: Read the following case study carefully and analyze it by answering each of the five Questions for Discussion. (20 points)

Hot-Shot Pix is a global digital camera manufacturer headquartered in the U.S. The company designs, manufacturers and sells various digital camera models at different price points through various channels. Design is carried out at the companys R&D labs located in England and the U.S. The company manufactures cameras at four different locations: one factory is located in Singapore and supplies the Asia-Pacific region; another factory is located in Texas and serves the North American and Latin American markets; the third factory is located in France and serves the EU markets. This factory was established during Hot Shots first expansion outside the U.S. in the 1960s to manufacture film-based cameras and sell them across Europe. Currently, the factory in France is somewhat outdated, and the company is involved in a labor dispute with the unions. The last factory is located in Hungary and serves Africa and the Middle East. Currently, 30% of the companys total revenues are generated domestically and the rest comes from foreign markets.

Hot Shots cameras have traditionally been well-regarded in the marketplace and the company is considered a leader in technological innovation. However, in the last ten years the company has been facing increased competition. Newer, more nimble competitors have established large factories in Asia. Theses companies serve the entire global market from one or two factories at a cheaper. Digital camera manufacturing is subject to significant economies of scale. In addition, the demand for digital cameras is seasonal, with a significant portion of the demand generated during the holiday season. This variability of demand has forced Hot Shot to outsource some of its manufacturing to various subcontractors in Asia who have varied considerably in their ability to adhere to quality specifications. In general, warranty costs have been slightly increasing.

The digital camera market is expected to grow at a healthy 8% rate for the next decade. Bob Wilson, the COO, is thinking of several significant operational changes. At the top of his list is closing the factory in France (which is technologically outdated) and establishing a new factory, possibly in China, that would serve the EU, North America and Latin America markets. The factory in the US would then focus on premium, higher-priced, cameras and represent around 20% of the global market for digital cameras. Another alternative is to purchase a Chinese camera maker and upgrade its facilities. The Chinese Foreign Investment Authority indicated that it would look favorably on this investment, as long as Hot Shot also established a design lab in China to develop the next generation cameras. This would be structured as a joint venture with a Chinese company. Meanwhile, European manufacturers were having a hard time competing with foreign camera makers and were arguing that foreign manufacturers were dumping excess production into their markets. One camera maker recently appealed to the EU for protection from unfair foreign competition. At the time, China had a sizeable trade surplus vis–vis European countries.

As a soon-to-be graduate of one of the most internationally diverse business schools in the U.S., you have been retained by Bob Wilson to prepare a report that identifies and briefly discusses the major international issues. Note that, at this time, Mr. Wilson is not looking for any specific recommendations. 

Questions for Discussion:

1. What, if any, political issues should Wilson consider?
2. What, if any, economic issues should Wilson consider?
3. What, if any, social/cultural issues      should Wilson      consider?
4. What, if any, technological issues      should Wilson      consider?
5. What, if any, other issues should Wilson consider?

Shadow Side of Leadership examines the important topic of leadership’s dark side. Chapter 1 outlines common shadows cast by leaders: abuse of power privilege, mismanagement of information, misplaced and broken loyalties, Inconsistency, and irresponsibility. Chapter 2 explores the reasons leaders often cause more harm than good and then outlines strategies for stepping out of the shadows and into the light. After identifying the factors that cause us to cast shadows as leaders, the discussion mastered them. To do so1 we will need to look inward.
