This document discusses Ben & Jerry's considerations for entering the Japanese ice cream market. It outlines CEO Perry Odak's concerns, Ben & Jerry's mission and culture, key resources in Vermont, strategic options in Japan, and what Ben & Jerry's would need to do to execute their chosen strategy well. The options under consideration are franchising with 7-Eleven's 7,000 stores, partnering with a Japanese-American entrepreneur, or opening scoop shops at Tokyo Disneyland. Analyzing resources and capabilities, partnering with 7-Eleven could leverage its large retail presence but may restrict branding. Direct entry through scoop shops allows more control but carries higher risks. A decision is needed to capitalize on excess US

The Parable of the Sadhu describes a real incident where a group of hikers found an injured sadhu in the Himalayas. Each hiker did a small part to help the sadhu but no one took full responsibility for ensuring his well-being. Later, one of the hikers realized they had walked by an ethical dilemma without proper action. While rule-based theories could justify the hikers' individual actions, they failed to explain why the hikers' actions were still blameworthy or address the relevance to corporate ethics. The story shows that groups and individuals have a responsibility to do more than just the minimally permissible in ethical dilemmas and instead act heroically.

While Coca-Cola and Pepsi dominated the cola segment, their market share has declined in recent years as consumers have shifted to healthier beverage alternatives like water, juice, and sports drinks. Both companies have adapted by expanding their product portfolios internationally and acquiring companies in the snack and beverage industries to sustain profits in the face of flattening carbonated soft drink demand.
Purple Innovation: A Rising Digitally-native Brand Unicorn Hiding in Plain SightDrew Peng
The following presentation attempts to outline both the opportunities and challenges faced by the Company and its new management team as it seeks to capture its fair share of the rapidly emerging, digitally-native mattress market.

As a small-cap, public company with minuscule non-founder free float, Purple is not well covered by sellside analyst research. This presentation hopefully serves as a good overview of the Company, its competitive position, challenges, and future prospects based on readily-available public information.

Business Sustainability
This is the management of the environmental, social and financial demand so
as to attain the ethical, responsible and on-going success of the company or
organization. Sustainability is generally where the company satisfies the demands of
the customers, workers and the environment so as to attain the success of the
organization.
Sustainability is geared by three main themes. These are ecology, society and
economy. Any company is supposed to satisfy the ecological needs of the
environment so as to maintain the success. This is because customers are not
attracted by an organization which is not concerned with the conservation of the
environment (Carroll & Buchholtz, 2014).
Society sustainability is where the company tries to satisfy the demands of the
consumers by giving the quality products. This is because consumers are attracted
to organizations which are producing quality products so as to satisfy their needs.
Economical sustainability is whereby the company comes up with strategies which
will help them to catch up with the growing economy of the country, and also observe
the prices of their products so that they may not be higher than the economical level
of the country. When prices are high the consumers tend to go to the competitors of
the organization who sell their products at a cheaper price.
Businesses define sustainability as the ability and process of satisfying the
needs of the consumers so as to attract more customers than their competitors.
They focus on ecology, society and economical sustainability (Carroll & Buchholtz,
2014). Companies tend to come up with campaigns for conservation of the
environment and production of environmental friendly products so as to attract
BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY 3
customers. For example, since 1990 Top Shelf Company was dominating the shoe
industry in the world. But by the year 2001, another company came up and started
producing shoes which would not pollute the environment. It was even found out that
Top Shelf used methods which were not environmental friendly. This reason led to
the new company competing with Top Shelf in the market and the sales of Top Shelf
started reducing. The other definition of sustainability by businesses is that they
satisfy the needs of their workers (society) hence increasing their production. For
example, it was noticed that Top Shelf paid their workers poorly hence leading to a
reduction in the number of sales. This is because customers are attracted to the
organizations which are observing the rights of the workers and consumers. Top
Shelf used to pay their workers poorly so as to reduce the cost of production but this
led to a decrease in the number of sales when a competitor company came up.

Eco-Engineering: The Grass Is
Always Greener
Yes, the title of this chapter has a dual meaning. Among senior execu-tives at global corporations, eco-engineering is already seen as astrategic imperative—even though the practice of eco-engineering is
not yet clearly understood by engineers. At the same time, many companies
feel constant pressure to prove that their “green” initiatives are greener than
their competitors’, leading to an upward spiral in greenwashing.
The net result is confusion. It can be difficult for engineers, executives, and
consumers to distinguish between an environmentally responsible project and
a plain old-fashioned PR grab. If you’re an engineer who’s really interested
in making a positive environmental impact, what should you focus on? Here
are a few suggestions, based on lessons learned from the real world of eco-
engineering.
Carbon Neutrality: Good Start but Not Enough
Corporate sustainability leaders tend to be a collaborative group. They are
open to sharing ideas, swapping stories, and growing their networks of col-
leagues in other companies. And that’s a great thing, because those of us who
deal with corporate sustainability on a daily basis know we’re in uncharted
territory and that we’re all learning as we go. We understand it’s in every-
one’s best interest if the overall economy becomes more sustainable. After all,
when it comes to climate changes there aren’t winners and losers—ultimately
we’ll either all win or all lose.

For example, let’s say your company magically reduces the environmental
impact of its operations to nothing so that you’re able to deliver your products
and services with no impact of any kind. But in the excitement your company
decides that you have created such a big advantage through your eco-effective-
ness that you better keep it a secret and not share your magic with anyone else.
In this case, how much better off is the world? Does erasing the impact of one
company make a big difference? Unfortunately, no.
Which brings us to the subject of carbon neutrality, the term often used to
describe the goal of corporate efforts to lessen companies’ impact on the
environment. No company can reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to
zero, so the idea is that Organization A pays Organization B to plant trees,
increase energy efficiency, create green energy, or do something else with a
positive impact on GHG emissions, thus offsetting Organization A’s own car-
bon emissions.
Many companies have centered their environmental strategy on a goal of
achieving carbon neutrality. They are generally doing some efficiency proj-
ects, purchasing some green energy, and offsetting the rest. But we’ve been
looking at product and service lifecycles, and we know the part that’s within
your four walls may be only a small part of your overall impact. What about
your supply chain? What about your products in use at your customers’ facil-
ities? What about your products at the end of their usef ...

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
