Preparation Research external environmental trends of 2009–2010. Discussion External environment trends are typically identified within major categories, such as political, regulatory, social-demographic-lifestyle, technology, and so on. When these individual trends collide or converge, they can emerge as mega-trends, or trends that have a major disrupting impact on established product and service offerings to defined or targeted markets. Discuss the following: What combination of trends did Apple see and take advantage of in the creation and launch of the iPad in April 2010? What did Apple leadership see in 2009 that led to the iPad's success in 2010? This is not about describing features of the iPad; rather explore what external trends caused the development of these features. Be specific and support your comments with APA-referenced data. Your discussion post should be a minimum of 250 words and incorporate at least one scholarly reference along with citations from one of the required readings. .

Apple is an international corporation involved in designing, developing and distributing consumer electronics, personal computers and software.

Apple iPhone (Q9)Uecia CulmerComment by Keith Starcher You did.docx
Apple iPhone is facing increased competition and a potential downfall from specializing only in its own products. Market specialization, where Apple focuses on serving the needs of specific customer groups like retailers, would be more beneficial than product specialization. It would build Apple's image among customers and allow it to produce a variety of products those customers require, helping Apple succeed internationally rather than relying on saturated markets for its own products where it risks becoming incompetent.

Introduction
Apple Inc. is a real business example of a successful brand (Aljafar, 2017). The firm’s success stems from its ability to use its strengths to exploit business opportunities and overcome its weaknesses and threats. Strengths and weaknesses usually characterize corporations’ internal business environments. On the other hand, Hassan (2017) posits that opportunities and threats are aspects of external environments. Internal environments comprise factors that businesses have control over, whereas external environments are the opposite. The key question here is what is the current internal and external environments of Apple?

EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT SCAN—APPLE 5
External Environment Scan—Apple
An environmental scan is vital for every company as it helps to determine the threats and opportunities that are posed to the company. The following will be included in the environment scan of Apple incorporated: economic factors, political factors, legal factors, societal factors, technological factors, geographic factors and Porter’s five forces.
Key Factors and Trends
The economic environment of the company is determined by factors such as taxation policies, exchange rate, inflation, the economy, living standards, the average income and consumer buying power. Apple’s products main target market are people of medium to high income and standards. In an economic boom, the company’s products are more likely to be bought than during a recession. The rapid growth of developing countries provide an opportunity for Apple to venture into new markets.
Political stability can be a threat to Apple’s products. Poor political stability would mean a reduction in sales and distribution of the products would be hard as trade barriers would be imposed. Various trade policies that could be imposed on a country would have an adverse effect on the company’s sales. However, developing countries create an opportunity for Apple expand its customer base as more free trade policies are put into effect. As Lombardo (2015) states, “Additional free trade policies increase the opportunities for Apple to distribute more of its products to various markets around the world” (section 2).
Social-cultural factors, such as lifestyle, living standards, and demographics important to Apple. Social factors have an effect on consumer behavior and expectations. The increase in mobile phone use and social media is an opportunity for Apple to provide easy-to-use smart phones.
Current technology and technological changes can affect a customer’s priorities changing the demand for Apple products. For example, with the increasing popularity of Cloud computing, Apple can use that to bring in customers and retain their existing customers. Apple has taken advantage of this by making it so that information can be transferred between the different apple devices and between family members. “Everything’s better when shared, and sharing has never been easier” (Apple, 2016, section 3).
Legal factors can also create a threat to Apple. As governments become more aware of privacy issues in relation to digital technology, stricter regulations are imposed on companies like Apple. This poses a threat to Apple as they are now required to develop a product that not only meets consumer demand, but also the privacy regulations imposed by the government. Stricter regulations have been implemented on telecommunications therefore increasing threats to Apple. ...

Economic factors and trends
Apple is one of the fastest growing companies that had blossomed into a well recognizable consumer name for electronic devices globally. Apple operations depend and performance significantly on global and regional economic conditions (Apple Inc., 2016). Their components are manufactured in other countries. Some of these countries include, Korea, Japan and Taiwan, but their products are assembled in China (Wright, A., 2012). Even those Apple is seen as a status symbol of financial stability for the elite and others, there are many others that built their self-esteem off of owning Apple products. Unemployment is a big key factor in the financial dealing with Apple’s products. In 2015, economists are projecting that unemployment rate will fall to a low of about 4.7% by the end of 2016 (Zumbrun, J., 2015). Their predictions were close, as of the end of October of 2016; unemployment rate in the United States was at 4.9% (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2016).
Political, Regulatory and legal factors and trends
Earlier this year, Apple wrestled with the U.S. Government over unlocking a suspected terrorist Iphone. The FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice, solicited Apple as the suspect has a code on their phone. Apple’s Iphones enables users to set up a passcode to lock out intruders. If the code is entered incorrectly in excess of ten times, then the phone will automatically delete the data on it. Apple’s fear was that by the government requesting them to unlock this one phone, that this was a privacy violation (Rash, W., 2016). These fears of Apples became the same-shared views among iphone users. Giving the government access would allow them to future access for any reason.
Societal factors and trends
A person’s family, friends and even colleagues can serve as a strong contributor to a person’s choice of mobile phone. Today’s youth are more into electronics. Teenagers have more economic clout than that of their predecessors (Grant, I.J., and Graeme R.S., 2006).
Technological factors and trends
The survival and the competitiveness of Apple Inc. is a result of its ability to innovate new technologies. Since the time of its formation, they have relentlessly developed new technologies. It started at the lowest point, but is now one of the top technology companies. The success of the company is attributable to strong and favorable internal environment, which entails such elements as the organizational structure, culture, mission and vision and also the coordination among different departments within the company (O'Grady, 2009). Apple Inc. has a culture of innovation and invention (O'Grady, 2009).

· Demanded Brand: Apple is a highly demanded brand all over the globe, it is the number one choice in America for smart phones, accessories and corporate office supplies. It has a technology that is suitable for every age and domain.
· Focus on Research & Development: Apple as a company puts a lot of its efforts and money into product design, manufacturing, quality, and marketing. A lot of studies and researches are conducted before product release that are based on customer needs and demands.
· Innovation: Apple changed the way people interact and communicate back in June 2007 when they introduced the IPhone, and that trend continued on when they introduced the IPad in April 2010. Apple shed a new light on the way people use their smartphones and tablets. Nowadays these products are an essential part of work and everyday life.
Points of Weakness:
· High Prices: Apple products are generally considered in the market as a luxurious items due to their premium prices. These products are more oriented towards middle to high income customers than low income.
· Incompatibility: Apple is considered a unique product when it comes to software and cross platforming. Items purchased from Apple whether they are computers, phones, tablets, or accessories will only function on a particular software produced by the company which leaves small space for sharing and cross platform.
· Competitive Market & Penetration: Although Apple has a solid place in market, it does not lower the chances of growth of competitive brands such as Sony, Samsung, Google, and Microsoft. In 2018 a research was conducted stating that while IOS software (Software used by Apple) is dominant nationally, 72.23 of the global market uses Android (Software produced by Google).
· Underwhelming Marketing & Promoting Efforts: Due to its solid reputation in market place, Apple has a bad reputation for promoting or marketing their products. They have poor marketing strategies the barely promotes the products and depend solely on their name to attract customers towards their products.
Opportunities:
· Focus on Services: While the main source of profit is from smartphones and tablets, Apple gets a decent amount of revenue from the services that they offer. Apple gains revenue from selling products like IPhone or IPad to every customer once every year, while they can gain profit from their services on a daily basis. These services include Apple Pay, Apple Care, Apple Music…etc. It is estimated that if Apple can put these services into good use, the company can gain up to 10 million dollar in a quarter of a year.

HBR_How_Apple_Is_Organized_For_Innovation-4.pdf
Apple organizes itself functionally rather than into business units. This allows expertise to align with decision rights, with experts leading experts. This structure prioritizes technical experts over general managers to make bets on emerging technologies. It also insulates product decisions from short-term financial pressures by basing executive bonuses on company-wide metrics. This functional structure is credited with enabling Apple's continuous stream of innovations, from early iPhone camera improvements to later advances like portrait mode.

Nokia’s Organizational ChangesIntroduction
Nokia has been among the global leaders in mobile communication industry that drives sustainability and growth of modern technologies. The company develops innovative and easy-to-use products to connect people with the required information. Nokia’s product line includes devices, mobile phones, as well as equipment, gaming, and imaging solutions. However, Nokia needs to conduct major organizational changes to adapt the compelling competitive environment, which is caused by the influx of different companies offering similar products and services. As such, this brief creates a notion that necessitates urgent organizational changes in Nokia, especially its associated mobile technologies to establish its competitive advantage in the mobile phone industry.Background
Nokia has been a market leader in the mobile phone industry for decades, but the entrance of new competitors reduced its market share (Pai, 2015). The market pressure forced Nokia to adopt strategic measures such as alliances and acquisitions to curb its shrinking business. Among the major organizational decisions made by Nokia was selling device business to Microsoft and acquiring Medio System (Laamanen et al., 2016). Currently, Nokia remains the top mobile phone manufacturer, but there are high threats from other competitors such as Samsung and Sony Ericson. Nokia has a competitive advantage including the loyalty from traditional customers, but there are challenges in competing in the market because of its current technologies.Diagnosis
As evidenced by Lam (2013), Nokia lost its market share to other corporations such as Apple and Samsung after it failed to adopt the latest and innovative mobile technologies. For instance, Nokia failed to develop an open-source operating system to compete with Android platform, which is being used by its competitors. Competing with electronics organizations such as Samsung and Sony in solutions such as LCD and photography displays is also a problem for Nokia. Such solutions are necessary to the modern phone, which create a major technology gap between Nokia and its competitors. Thus, necessitates changes in the company to come up with fashionable technologies. Intervention
The company needs to come up with modern technologies to help it compete with organizations, which involves developing innovative products and services. Among the ideas is to make its current Symbian Operating System free and open to any application, as well as come up with modern and digital display technologies. Such ideas can occasionally be implemented, especially whenever a new product is launched.Applicable OB concepts

Organizational Culture AnalysisSymbols of culture are called art.docx
Organizational Culture Analysis
Symbols of culture are called artifacts. Artifacts are the most visible and accessible level of culture. These include behaviors, stories, rituals (everyday practices that are repeated frequently), and symbols (e.g., company logos, company colors). For example, the president of a company volunteering at Habitat for Humanity is an artifact of culture. An example of symbols as an artifact of culture is Ashford University’s shield that serves as our logo and is printed on transcripts, diplomas and letterhead paper. Submit a two- to three-page paper (excluding the title and reference pages) describing the culture of either your current or past place of employment.
Your paper should provide examples of and address each of the following topics:
Observable artifacts
Espoused values (These are what organizational members say they value, like ethical practice.)
Enacted values (These are reflected in the way individuals actually behave.)
In addition, describe how each item listed above impacts the values and culture of the organization.
Your paper must use a minimum of two scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook. Your paper must also follow the APA Style guide.

Apple's achievement is their craft of offering magnificent client benefit understanding and in-store better alternatives.

Apple has utilized talented and experienced group of offers representatives who have added to organization's prosperity. The organization in 2002 opened tech retail I Tokyo, Japan and there after the organization has kept on opening more shops all around. Their retail technique has truly worked to support them in this manner with higher returns compared to their counterparts (Francois nonnenmancher, 2004).
Apple's hierarchical structure is one of the variables adding to the organization's fruitful advancement. An association's authoritative structure can make open doors for business development.

For Apple's situation, the hierarchical structure is principally a conventional pecking order, with some key components from different sorts of authoritative structure.

Organizations sometimes come up short if they have missed somethin.docx
Organizations sometimes come up short if they have missed something in their macro environment, much like Nokia did:
“Stephen Elop joined Nokia as CEO in September 2010 with a clear mission: Save the once world-beating mobile phone company from oblivion. The challenges are obvious: Nokia has been losing ground to Apple iPhones and to Google Android-based models from HTC, Samsung and others. Once a major player in the U.S., Nokia now has close to zero market share” (Woyke, 2011).
Select and research an organization that missed a threat or opportunity in its macro environment and research what happened. In your initial post, use concepts from this module to discuss the following:
1. What did the organization miss in its macro environment? Discuss the strategic implications of this omission. Did rivals or other organizations in other industries also miss the signs of this pending threat or opportunity?
2. Take on the role of the CEO and suggest a strategic tool or process that this organization could use to avoid similar situations in the future.
3. CEO to CEO, what are some tips from what you learned analyzing the organization?

EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT SCAN—APPLE 5
External Environment Scan—Apple
An environmental scan is vital for every company as it helps to determine the threats and opportunities that are posed to the company. The following will be included in the environment scan of Apple incorporated: economic factors, political factors, legal factors, societal factors, technological factors, geographic factors and Porter’s five forces.
Key Factors and Trends
The economic environment of the company is determined by factors such as taxation policies, exchange rate, inflation, the economy, living standards, the average income and consumer buying power. Apple’s products main target market are people of medium to high income and standards. In an economic boom, the company’s products are more likely to be bought than during a recession. The rapid growth of developing countries provide an opportunity for Apple to venture into new markets.
Political stability can be a threat to Apple’s products. Poor political stability would mean a reduction in sales and distribution of the products would be hard as trade barriers would be imposed. Various trade policies that could be imposed on a country would have an adverse effect on the company’s sales. However, developing countries create an opportunity for Apple expand its customer base as more free trade policies are put into effect. As Lombardo (2015) states, “Additional free trade policies increase the opportunities for Apple to distribute more of its products to various markets around the world” (section 2).
Social-cultural factors, such as lifestyle, living standards, and demographics important to Apple. Social factors have an effect on consumer behavior and expectations. The increase in mobile phone use and social media is an opportunity for Apple to provide easy-to-use smart phones.
Current technology and technological changes can affect a customer’s priorities changing the demand for Apple products. For example, with the increasing popularity of Cloud computing, Apple can use that to bring in customers and retain their existing customers. Apple has taken advantage of this by making it so that information can be transferred between the different apple devices and between family members. “Everything’s better when shared, and sharing has never been easier” (Apple, 2016, section 3).
Legal factors can also create a threat to Apple. As governments become more aware of privacy issues in relation to digital technology, stricter regulations are imposed on companies like Apple. This poses a threat to Apple as they are now required to develop a product that not only meets consumer demand, but also the privacy regulations imposed by the government. Stricter regulations have been implemented on telecommunications therefore increasing threats to Apple. ...

Economic factors and trends
Apple is one of the fastest growing companies that had blossomed into a well recognizable consumer name for electronic devices globally. Apple operations depend and performance significantly on global and regional economic conditions (Apple Inc., 2016). Their components are manufactured in other countries. Some of these countries include, Korea, Japan and Taiwan, but their products are assembled in China (Wright, A., 2012). Even those Apple is seen as a status symbol of financial stability for the elite and others, there are many others that built their self-esteem off of owning Apple products. Unemployment is a big key factor in the financial dealing with Apple’s products. In 2015, economists are projecting that unemployment rate will fall to a low of about 4.7% by the end of 2016 (Zumbrun, J., 2015). Their predictions were close, as of the end of October of 2016; unemployment rate in the United States was at 4.9% (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2016).
Political, Regulatory and legal factors and trends
Earlier this year, Apple wrestled with the U.S. Government over unlocking a suspected terrorist Iphone. The FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice, solicited Apple as the suspect has a code on their phone. Apple’s Iphones enables users to set up a passcode to lock out intruders. If the code is entered incorrectly in excess of ten times, then the phone will automatically delete the data on it. Apple’s fear was that by the government requesting them to unlock this one phone, that this was a privacy violation (Rash, W., 2016). These fears of Apples became the same-shared views among iphone users. Giving the government access would allow them to future access for any reason.
Societal factors and trends
A person’s family, friends and even colleagues can serve as a strong contributor to a person’s choice of mobile phone. Today’s youth are more into electronics. Teenagers have more economic clout than that of their predecessors (Grant, I.J., and Graeme R.S., 2006).
Technological factors and trends
The survival and the competitiveness of Apple Inc. is a result of its ability to innovate new technologies. Since the time of its formation, they have relentlessly developed new technologies. It started at the lowest point, but is now one of the top technology companies. The success of the company is attributable to strong and favorable internal environment, which entails such elements as the organizational structure, culture, mission and vision and also the coordination among different departments within the company (O'Grady, 2009). Apple Inc. has a culture of innovation and invention (O'Grady, 2009).
It is a company that is capable of producing a steady stream of innovative products an ...
Apple’s SWOT AnalysisPoints of Strength· Globally Recognize.docx
Apple’s SWOT Analysis
Points of Strength:
· Globally Recognized Brand: Since its establishment, Apple has built an astounding reputation of being one of the most reliable companies providing technological services and solutions. It has one of the largest customer bases to ever exist, making it the first company ever with a stock price of one trillion dollar.
· Demanded Brand: Apple is a highly demanded brand all over the globe, it is the number one choice in America for smart phones, accessories and corporate office supplies. It has a technology that is suitable for every age and domain.
· Focus on Research & Development: Apple as a company puts a lot of its efforts and money into product design, manufacturing, quality, and marketing. A lot of studies and researches are conducted before product release that are based on customer needs and demands.
· Innovation: Apple changed the way people interact and communicate back in June 2007 when they introduced the IPhone, and that trend continued on when they introduced the IPad in April 2010. Apple shed a new light on the way people use their smartphones and tablets. Nowadays these products are an essential part of work and everyday life.
Points of Weakness:
· High Prices: Apple products are generally considered in the market as a luxurious items due to their premium prices. These products are more oriented towards middle to high income customers than low income.
· Incompatibility: Apple is considered a unique product when it comes to software and cross platforming. Items purchased from Apple whether they are computers, phones, tablets, or accessories will only function on a particular software produced by the company which leaves small space for sharing and cross platform.
· Competitive Market & Penetration: Although Apple has a solid place in market, it does not lower the chances of growth of competitive brands such as Sony, Samsung, Google, and Microsoft. In 2018 a research was conducted stating that while IOS software (Software used by Apple) is dominant nationally, 72.23 of the global market uses Android (Software produced by Google).
· Underwhelming Marketing & Promoting Efforts: Due to its solid reputation in market place, Apple has a bad reputation for promoting or marketing their products. They have poor marketing strategies the barely promotes the products and depend solely on their name to attract customers towards their products.
Opportunities:
· Focus on Services: While the main source of profit is from smartphones and tablets, Apple gets a decent amount of revenue from the services that they offer. Apple gains revenue from selling products like IPhone or IPad to every customer once every year, while they can gain profit from their services on a daily basis. These services include Apple Pay, Apple Care, Apple Music…etc. It is estimated that if Apple can put these services into good use, the company can gain up to 10 million dollar in a quarter of a year.

HBR_How_Apple_Is_Organized_For_Innovation-4.pdf
Apple organizes itself functionally rather than into business units. This allows expertise to align with decision rights, with experts leading experts. This structure prioritizes technical experts over general managers to make bets on emerging technologies. It also insulates product decisions from short-term financial pressures by basing executive bonuses on company-wide metrics. This functional structure is credited with enabling Apple's continuous stream of innovations, from early iPhone camera improvements to later advances like portrait mode.

Nokia’s Organizational ChangesIntroduction
Nokia has been among the global leaders in mobile communication industry that drives sustainability and growth of modern technologies. The company develops innovative and easy-to-use products to connect people with the required information. Nokia’s product line includes devices, mobile phones, as well as equipment, gaming, and imaging solutions. However, Nokia needs to conduct major organizational changes to adapt the compelling competitive environment, which is caused by the influx of different companies offering similar products and services. As such, this brief creates a notion that necessitates urgent organizational changes in Nokia, especially its associated mobile technologies to establish its competitive advantage in the mobile phone industry.Background
Nokia has been a market leader in the mobile phone industry for decades, but the entrance of new competitors reduced its market share (Pai, 2015). The market pressure forced Nokia to adopt strategic measures such as alliances and acquisitions to curb its shrinking business. Among the major organizational decisions made by Nokia was selling device business to Microsoft and acquiring Medio System (Laamanen et al., 2016). Currently, Nokia remains the top mobile phone manufacturer, but there are high threats from other competitors such as Samsung and Sony Ericson. Nokia has a competitive advantage including the loyalty from traditional customers, but there are challenges in competing in the market because of its current technologies.Diagnosis
As evidenced by Lam (2013), Nokia lost its market share to other corporations such as Apple and Samsung after it failed to adopt the latest and innovative mobile technologies. For instance, Nokia failed to develop an open-source operating system to compete with Android platform, which is being used by its competitors. Competing with electronics organizations such as Samsung and Sony in solutions such as LCD and photography displays is also a problem for Nokia. Such solutions are necessary to the modern phone, which create a major technology gap between Nokia and its competitors. Thus, necessitates changes in the company to come up with fashionable technologies. Intervention
The company needs to come up with modern technologies to help it compete with organizations, which involves developing innovative products and services. Among the ideas is to make its current Symbian Operating System free and open to any application, as well as come up with modern and digital display technologies. Such ideas can occasionally be implemented, especially whenever a new product is launched.Applicable OB concepts

Organizational Culture AnalysisSymbols of culture are called art.docx
Organizational Culture Analysis
Symbols of culture are called artifacts. Artifacts are the most visible and accessible level of culture. These include behaviors, stories, rituals (everyday practices that are repeated frequently), and symbols (e.g., company logos, company colors). For example, the president of a company volunteering at Habitat for Humanity is an artifact of culture. An example of symbols as an artifact of culture is Ashford University’s shield that serves as our logo and is printed on transcripts, diplomas and letterhead paper. Submit a two- to three-page paper (excluding the title and reference pages) describing the culture of either your current or past place of employment.
Your paper should provide examples of and address each of the following topics:
Observable artifacts
Espoused values (These are what organizational members say they value, like ethical practice.)
Enacted values (These are reflected in the way individuals actually behave.)
In addition, describe how each item listed above impacts the values and culture of the organization.
Your paper must use a minimum of two scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook. Your paper must also follow the APA Style guide.

Organizations sometimes come up short if they have missed somethin.docx
Organizations sometimes come up short if they have missed something in their macro environment, much like Nokia did:
“Stephen Elop joined Nokia as CEO in September 2010 with a clear mission: Save the once world-beating mobile phone company from oblivion. The challenges are obvious: Nokia has been losing ground to Apple iPhones and to Google Android-based models from HTC, Samsung and others. Once a major player in the U.S., Nokia now has close to zero market share” (Woyke, 2011).
Select and research an organization that missed a threat or opportunity in its macro environment and research what happened. In your initial post, use concepts from this module to discuss the following:
1. What did the organization miss in its macro environment? Discuss the strategic implications of this omission. Did rivals or other organizations in other industries also miss the signs of this pending threat or opportunity?
2. Take on the role of the CEO and suggest a strategic tool or process that this organization could use to avoid similar situations in the future.
3. CEO to CEO, what are some tips from what you learned analyzing the organization?

Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S. health .docx
Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S. health care administration in the 21st Century requires knowledge of the various aspects of health laws as they apply to dealing with medical professionals. Further, because U.S. health care administrators have to potentially interact with many levels of professionals beyond the medical profession, it is prudent that they are aware of any federal, state, and local laws that may be applicable to their organizations. Thus, their conduct is also subject to the letter of the law. They must evaluate the quality of their professional interactions and be mindful of the implications and ramifications of their decisions.
You are employed as a top health administrator at the hypothetical Well Care Hospital in Happy Town. When you were hired, your pre-employment screening involved background checks into any violation of hospital medical misconduct during the last five (5) years. The results showed that you were in good standing with the hospital administration community. During the past year, you had to undergo training in personnel conduct, as well as in inter-employee conduct with medical staff, nurses, technologists, etc. During the past six (6) months, the hospital has been under scrutiny for breach of medical compliance.
Note
: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
Articulate your position as the top administrator concerned about the importance of professional conduct within the health care setting. Justify your position.
Ascertain the major ramifications of having professional staff compromise the boundaries of ethics and medical conduct.
Analyze the four (4) elements required of a plaintiff to prove medical negligence.
Discuss the overarching duties of the health care governing board in mitigating the effects of medical non-compliance, as they apply to the rules of practice set forth in the Well Care Hospital governing board’s manifesto.
Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

President Bill Clinton was well known for paying close attention to .docx
President Bill Clinton was well known for paying close attention to opinion polls before saying or doing anything. His successor, George W. Bush, was equally famous for ignoring them. My view: Presidents and policy makers have access to information and analysis that we don't. I feel better about them relying on that than the opinion of the guy ahead of me in line at Whataburger when making complex foreign policy decisions. I think that makes me an elitist, but I can live with that.
What do you think? For your assignment this week, find an opinion poll about any public policy matter published within the last two months. Write a 2 page essay explaining...
1 What questions were asked and how they were worded?
2. What was the poll's sample and universe? ("Sample" is who they asked. "Universe" is the total group the sample is meant to represent)
4. What were the results?
5. Who paid for the poll? Who conducted it? Does that matter?
6. What polling errors might have affected its accuracy or usefulness?
7. What, if anything, should policymakers do differently as a result of this poll?
Submit in Word. Cite your sources.

Prepare three 7 to 10 minute mini-lessonslectures on myth in .docx
Prepare
three
7 to 10 minute mini-lessons/lectures on myth in our world. Each of your lessons/lectures should be about 900 words long (double-spaced, Times 12-point font, with 1-inch margins). This is not much time, so you will want to be concise but conversational, as this is a presentation rather than an essay.
a) Mini-Lesson/Lecture I: Myth in Culture and the Arts
Examine how a particular myth influenced/inspired something specific in culture or the arts, including but not limited to a work of art, a poem, a religious ritual, a film, a statue, a carving, a religious symbol, a novel, a video game, or a specific TV episode. Compare the original myth with its presentation in the chosen medium.
b) Mini-Lesson/Lecture II: Myths and Values
Choose a specific myth and identify the specific values expressed through it. Explain how the myth functions to uphold, enforce, or reinforce a set of values within its culture/society/religion, to the detriment or benefit of that culture/society/religion.
c) Mini-Lesson/Lecture III: The Impact of Myth
Briefly describe a historical event, a controversy, a world event, a current event, a military group or action, a political event or group, a religious group or action, or a similar phenomenon. Then, show how a specific myth relates to that event, group, or action, as well as examining the impact that the values, attitudes, and ideas imparted by that myth have on the people, ideologies, and points of view in play.
In choosing your phenomenon, considerhistorical or political events that might be said to have myths as their ideological basis, such as the creation of the state of Israel, the Spanish Inquisition, the Salem witch trials, the Holocaust, the reign of Hirohito, Jonestown, the
Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir movement
, the Branch Davidians, jihadist suicide bombers, kamikaze pilots, Manifest Destiny, Heaven's Gate, the Tea Party movement, and so on.
You could also consider founders of religions and heroic culture bearers who have mythic biographies or quest stories in their histories. Think of scriptural material, such as the New Testament gospels, which tell about the life of Jesus of Nazareth; and hero myths that have inspired courageous action, such as the story of Percival and his quest for the Holy Grail.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

PreparationResearch external environmental trends of 2009–2010.D.docx
- 1. Preparation Research external environmental trends of 2009–2010. Discussion External environment trends are typically identified within major categories, such as political, regulatory, social- demographic-lifestyle, technology, and so on. When these individual trends collide or converge, they can emerge as mega- trends, or trends that have a major disrupting impact on established product and service offerings to defined or targeted markets. Discuss the following: What combination of trends did Apple see and take advantage of in the creation and launch of the iPad in April 2010? What did Apple leadership see in 2009 that led to the iPad's success in 2010? This is not about describing features of the iPad; rather explore what external trends caused the development of these features. Be specific and support your comments with APA- referenced data. Your discussion post should be a minimum of 250 words and incorporate at least one scholarly reference along with citations from one of the required readings.
