there could be room for even more stores. Given such concen- tration, it is likely to take annual same-store sales increases of 10 percent or more if the company is going to match its historic overall sales growth. That, as they might say at Starbucks, is a tall order to fi ll. Indeed, the crowding of so many stores so close together has become a national joke, eliciting quips such as this headline in The Onion , a satirical publication: “A New Starbucks Opens in Rest- room of Existing Starbucks.” And even the company admits that while its practice of blanketing an area with stores helps achieve market dominance, it can cut sales at existing outlets. “We prob- ably self-cannibalize our stores at a rate of 30 percent a year,” Schultz says. Adds Lehman Brothers Inc. analyst Mitchell Speiser: “Starbucks is at a defi ning point in its growth. It’s reaching a level that makes it harder and harder to grow, just due to the law of large numbers.” To duplicate the staggering returns of its fi rst decade, Starbucks has no choice but to export its concept aggressively. Indeed, some analysts gave Starbucks only two years at most before it saturates the U.S. market. The chain now operates 5,507 international outlets, from Beijing to Bristol. That leaves plenty of room to grow. Most of its planned new stores will be built overseas, representing a 35 percent increase in its foreign base. Most recently, the chain has opened stores in Vienna, Zurich, Madrid, Berlin, and even in far-off Jakarta. Athens comes next. And within the next year, Starbucks plans to move into Mexico and Puerto Rico. But global expansion poses huge risks for Starbucks. For one thing, it makes less money on each overseas store because most of them are operated with local partners. While that makes it easier to start up on foreign turf, it reduces the company’s share of the profi ts to only 20 percent to 50 percent. Moreover, Starbucks must cope with some predictable challenges of becoming a mature company in the United States. After riding the wave of successful baby boomers through the 1990s, the company faces an ominously hostile reception from its future consumers, the twenty- or thirty-somethings of Generation X. Not only are the activists among them turned off by the power and image of the well-known brand, but many others say that Star- bucks’ latte-sipping sophisticates and piped-in Kenny G music are a real turnoff. They don’t feel wanted in a place that sells designer coffee at $3 a cup. Even the thirst of loyalists for high-price coffee cannot be taken for granted. Starbucks’ growth over the early part of the past decade coincided with a remarkable surge in the economy. Consumer spending tanked in the downturn, and those $3 lattes were an easy place for people on a budget to cut back. Starbucks also faces slumping morale and employee burnout among its store managers and its once-cheery army of baristas. Stock options for .

There are two types of ciphers - Block and Stream. Block is used to encrypt a block of bits at one time. Stream cipher is used to encrypt one bit at a time. Modes of CiphersUnderstanding Modes Electronic Code Book (ECB) Mode This mode is a most straightforward way of processing a series of sequentially listed message blocks. Operation The user takes the first block of plaintext and encrypts it with the key to produce the first block of ciphertext. He then takes the second block of plaintext and follows the same process with same key and so on so forth. The ECB mode is deterministic, that is, if plaintext block P1, P2,…, Pm are encrypted twice under the same key, the output ciphertext blocks will be the same Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) Mode CBC mode of operation provides message dependence for generating ciphertext and makes the system non-deterministic. Operation The operation of CBC mode is depicted in the following illustration. The steps are as follows − Load the n-bit Initialization Vector (IV) in the top register. XOR the n-bit plaintext block with data value in top register. Encrypt the result of XOR operation with underlying block cipher with key K. Feed ciphertext block into top register and continue the operation till all plaintext blocks are processed. For decryption, IV data is XORed with first ciphertext block decrypted. The first ciphertext block is also fed into to register replacing IV for decrypting next ciphertext block. Output Feedback (OFB) Mode It involves feeding the successive output blocks from the underlying block cipher back to it. These feedback blocks provide string of bits to feed the encryption algorithm which act as the key-stream generator as in case of CFB mode. The key stream generated is XOR-ed with the plaintext blocks. The OFB mode requires an IV as the initial random n-bit input block. The IV need not be secret. Counter (CTR) Mode It can be considered as a counter-based version of CFB mode without the feedback. In this mode, both the sender and receiver need to access to a reliable counter, which computes a new shared value each time a ciphertext block is exchanged. This shared counter is not necessarily a secret value, but challenge is that both sides must keep the counter synchronized. Operation Both encryption and decryption in CTR mode are depicted in the following illustration. Steps in operation are − Load the initial counter value in the top register is the same for both the sender and the receiver. It plays the same role as the IV in CFB (and CBC) mode. Encrypt the contents of the counter with the key and place the result in the bottom register. Take the first plaintext block P1 and XOR this to the contents of the bottom register. The result of this is C1. Send C1 to the receiver and update the counter. The counter update replaces the ciphertext feedback in CFB mode. Continue in this manner until the last plaintext block has been encrypted. The decryption is.

There are two ways you could plan out your work: 1. Create a mock-up. When you make a mock-up, you basically sketch out your ideas for your project, not worrying about artistic quality (stick figures are fine!). A mock-up is especially useful if you're planning a "still" project -- something that doesn't use movement, sound, etc. You can use the attached mock-up grid, if you want, to sketch out the parts or "scenes" of your project. 2. Create a storyboard. A storyboard lets you write out a script for the narration or other sound--and then make notes or sketches for any images as well. A storyboard is useful if you're planning a project that involves sound, movement, voiceover, etc. You can use the attached storyboard template, if you wish. .

There are two objectives for the Course Project. To analyze a complex negotiation (work, personal, or historical) To apply negotiation course concepts in your analysis. These objectives, while straightforward, are critical to your learning. Application knowledge is the key. If you can apply what you have learned in the course to the project, you will also be able to apply what you have learned in other environments after the course has ended. Proposal Topic Ideas The proposal (one page is due during Week 3) should describe the focus of the paper and your method. The negotiation can be one in which you were a participant or one in which you have been an active observer. Some examples of applicable negotiations include a workplace negotiation, such as a complex contract, new position, or new salary (preferred); a complex business transaction, such as a merger or acquisition; a complex real estate purchase; a union-management contract (including professional sports leagues); a neighborhood group negotiating zoning concerns with a city government; a negotiation between divorcing spouses who have complex settlement issues; and a negotiation between a vendor and business over products and services. The above are representative examples of possible topics. The important thing to keep in mind in your topic selection is that the negotiation should be complex enough that you can perform a thoughtful and critical analysis in your paper using concepts learned in this course. Guidelines Paper must be 10 pages minimum in length, not including the title, abstract, or reference pages. Paper must apply APA formatting. Paper may apply up to but no more than three pages in describing the negotiation. Negotiation should be complex enough to challenge students' analytic skills. Paper Topic Proposal (for faculty review and approval) is due in Week 3 (approximate length is one page). Paper is due in Week 7. Grading Rubrics CategoryPoints%DescriptionOrganization and Cohesiveness7035% Central theme or purpose is clearly identifiable and well developed; introductory comments provide sufficient background on the topic and preview major points.

There are two questions relating this case. It can be 1 page for both answers. Introduction When you think of Monsanto, the phrase genetically modified likely comes to mind. The Monsanto Company is the world’s largest seed company, with sales of $13.5 billion. It specializes in biotechnology, or the genetic manipulation of organisms. Monsanto scientists have spent the last few decades modifying crops—often by inserting new genes or adapting existing genes within plant seeds—to meet certain aims, such as higher crop yields or insect resistance. Monsanto develops genetically engineered seeds of plants that can survive weeks of drought, ward off weeds, and kill invasive insects. Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) seeds have increased the quantity and availability of crops, helping farmers worldwide increase food production and revenues. Today, 90 percent of the world’s GM seeds are sold by Monsanto or companies that use Monsanto genes. Yet Monsanto has met its share of criticism from sources as diverse as governments, farmers, activists, and advocacy groups. Monsanto supporters say the company creates solutions to world hunger by generating higher crop yields and hardier plants. Critics accuse the multinational giant of attempting to take over the world’s food supply and destroying biodiversity. The announcement that Bayer AG is acquiring Monsanto for $66 billion has intensified these concerns because the acquisition would create a company that would command over one-fourth of the world’s seeds and pesticides market. Since biotechnology is relatively new, critics also express concerns about the possibility of negative health and environmental effects from biotech food. These criticisms have not kept Monsanto from becoming one of the world’s most successful businesses. This analysis first looks at the history of Monsanto as it progressed from a chemical company to an organization focused on biotechnology. It then examines Monsanto’s current focus on developing GM seeds, including stakeholder concerns regarding the safety and environmental effects of these seeds. Next, we discuss key ethical concerns, including organizational misconduct and patent issues. We also look at Monsanto’s corporate responsibility initiatives. We conclude by examining the challenges and opportunities that Monsanto may face in the future. History: From Chemicals to Food Monsanto was founded by John E. Queeny in 1901 in St. Louis, Missouri. He named the company after his wife, Olga Monsanto Queeny. The company’s first product was the artificial sweetener saccharine, which it sold to Coca-Cola. Monsanto also sold Coca-Cola caffeine extract and vanillin, an artificial vanilla flavoring. At the start of World War I, company leaders realized the growth opportunities in the industrial chemicals industry and renamed the company The Monsanto Chemical Company. The company began specializing in plastics, its own agricultural chemicals, and synthetic rubbers. Due to its.
