General Electric
Sustained profits come from building a competitive advantage.
This advantage can be accomplished not only through good
financial return on a specific process but also through the
correct capacity decisions that must be integrated into the
organization’s mission and strategy.
Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric (GE), understood
this better than anyone else. Although GE was a profitable and
respected company when Welch took over, its financial results
during the1970s were troubling to both its investors and senior
management. Welch immediately made changes to the
company’s structure and management practices. From the
beginning, he stressed the importance of being one of the top
players in the industry. He told his colleagues that GE should
always be number one or number two in all its businesses; if it
was not, then their only options would be to fix, sell, or shut
down.
Because of this strategic direction, GE today usually dominates
the markets in which it participates; and if it does not, then it
divests. A major part of GE’s strategy is to be the first or

2. second in every market. As you review the module readings for
this week, consider the complexity of GE’s products and its
emphasis on vertical integration and capacity planning.
After performing some research, respond to the following:
· How does GE’s framework give it the opportunity to be at the
forefront of the markets in which it participates?
· Examine your own firm or a firm you would like to work for
in the light of GE’s framework and respond to the following:
· Does this firm have the means to execute like GE?
· Which type of resources would the firm require?
· How could GE’s lessons be applied to this firm?
Write your initial response in 300–500 words. Apply APA
standards to citation of sources.
PEER REVIEW WORKSHEET FOR FINAL PAPER
Remember to use a different color font for your responses. Take
your time to offer a quality response.
Writer’s Name:_____Sandra
Villarreal_____________________________
Reviewer’s Name: _____Joseph
Eichhorn___________________________
For our final essay, each writer is to craft a thesis and then
explore the idea from one of the three critical perspectives
(feminist, historical or psychoanalytical). Remember that while
the writer needs to clearly focus on one of the perspectives, he
or she needs to briefly demonstrate an understanding of the
perspectives he or she did not choose. Your close review of this
essay will surely help the writer stay on track, clarify or deepen
his or her thesis, and compose a more readable and thought-
provoking final paper.
1. What is the writer’s thesis? Please note it below. If there is
no clear thesis, does the writer offer an idea that might be
developed into a main claim? Please excerpt and discuss.
There was no Clear thesis statement in this paper? What is

3. trying to be conveyed in the following “However, she begins to
defy them and at the end rejects all her social responsibilities.
This is brought out from her desire to live in a society that is
not male dominant. Many readers see the feminist perspective as
the foundation of the novel. This can be shown by Edna’s
passion to get some freedom and independence, something that
was not acceptable in the 1800s. By reading through the
chapters, the reader gets a picture of a society that is dominated
by male gender.” can be used to create a thesis statement. Ex.
The Awakening is a tale of a woman no longer satisfied with
living in a Male Dominated world, using a feminist viewpoint
examples will be shown that can attest Edna’s imprisonment and
growth.
2. Which critical perspective did the writer emphasize? Did the
writer show a thorough understanding of the perspective? How?
Please excerpt from the paper and comment upon the writer’s
knowledge and use of his or her chosen critical perspective
(feminist, psychoanalytical or historical).
The view the Arthur emphasized is the “Feminist Lens.” An
excerpt of showing such knowledge is “During this period, the
woman’s role in the society is portrayed to be that of
worshipping the children and submitting to the varied needs of
her husband. The author goes into the details of the frustrations
and triumphs that the women went through trying to meet the
demands of the society unwillingly.”
3. Did the writer show an understanding of the other two critical
perspectives? Please excerpt from the writer’s essay to show
that he or she briefly discussed the other perspectives.
At the end of the paper there are examples of both Historical
and Psychoanalytical perspectives yet they are just put into the
essay versus flowing nicely into it. This takes away from the
writing and the knowledge contained
4. What is the main topic of this essay? List one instance in the
text that the writer might explore more fully to deepen his or
her paper.
The Main topic refers to defy society for Freedom. Look to

4. refine “At this point, she has fully deciding that her freedom is
far much important that what the society recommends. However,
she still understands that she is defiling her womanhood and the
stands presented by the society. In her search for freedom, she
is not interested in the feminist perspective that the society
recommends, but she want to gain the freedom to express her
desires. Her self esteem is high and nothing prevents her from
attaining her sexuality and freedom.”
5. Please comment upon the writer’s introduction. Does it draw
in the reader? How? Be specific here.
It is a nice paper but there was no grabbing aspect.
6. Please evaluate the writer’s conclusion. Does the writer wrap
up the essay and offer the reader some closure or simply
reiterate the main points? Does the writer challenge us to think
in new ways? How?
The Conclusion is in a rough draft. There are conflicting
statements “Though the novel ends with a sad note when Edna
commits suicide thus failing to achieve her feminism, and As a
result of her efforts, she takes control of her life as a liberated
and independent woman” Because of this contradiction there
was no challenging new way of thinking for the reader.
7. Does the writer provide sufficient excerpts from the text,
using APA format. Copy two excerpts and discuss. Does the
writer use signal phrases? Are the quotes just dropped into the
essay or is there a smooth transition from the writer’s point to
the excerpt?
There are many excerpts. But they read smooth.
8. Please write a post-draft outline of the student essay. In order
to do this, you will number each paragraph of your peer’s paper
and summarize the main point of each paragraph very briefly, in
one or two sentences. This is not a formal outline. Below,
include your summary of paragraph 1 in a single sentence, then
the main point of paragraph 2, etc. The goal here is to look at
the organization of the essay. I also recommend that you do this
for your own essay as you will likely be surprised by the
results. Looking at the “bones” of the paper, the writer can see

5. areas they might want to attend to further or revise. The writer
might also see that they left out an important point.
1) Opening paragraph that leads to what the perspective of the
paper is going to be.
2) Starts to paint the picture of what it is like under a male
dominated world.
3) Gives a description of the feminist view.
4) Talks about Edna starting her path. (An example would be
good here. Maybe her stands on the porch)
5) The Opposite view that states she has failed. (Give a little
more detail)
6) Brings back the fact that Edna was successful. Paragraph 5
out of place
7) The return of Edna’s failings.
8) Showing Ideas and items against Edna and following the
feminist view.
9) A return to the awakening being a push for the feminist point
of view.
10) A look at the historical viewpoint. Does not flow.
11) A look at the Psychoanalytical viewpoint. Again this does
not flow.
12) A counter acting conclusion were it is stated Edna failed to
achieve her feminism, but is a liberated and independent
woman.
From this brief outline, the writer can see what is missing and
get a new view of the organization. Outlining this way can also
help you with your paper, if you want another way to review it.
9. Based on the outline you constructed above, comment on the
organization of the outline. If necessary, how should the
paragraphs be rearranged for better organization and flow?
1, 2, 10, 11, 3, 6, 9, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12
10. Where is this essay strongest and why?
Paragraph eight is the strongest. Not only does it show the
feminist view, but also makes the reader think with the
examples given.

6. “The author notes that Edna was unhappy with her life and she
believes that the sadness will never come to a closure unless she
achieves her wants by saying, "when it did not seem worthwhile
to be glad or sorry, to be dead or alive; when life appeared to
her like a grotesque pandemonium and humanity like worms
struggling blindly toward inevitable annihilation" (p. 58). The
author goes ahead and notes that Edna is like the "bird with a
broken wing" that she observes, "beating the air above, reeling,
fluttering, circling disabled down, down to the war" (p. 115).
Although many people respect her efforts to get the freedom
from the oppressive society that she lived, committing suicide is
a total waste of the struggles and it challenges the essence of
feminism.”
