RUNNINGHEAD: Uber Technologies Incorporation Uber Technologies Incorporation Description of the organization Uber Technologies Incorporation was founded in 2009 by Travis Kalanick and Garrett camp. As a startup it was known as Ubercab with only taxi services at a high cost but it has developed over the years to also provide food delivery services and peer ride sharing. Today it operates effectively via a mobile phone application and it operates in major cities around the world despite its headquarters being in San Francisco. Uber has recently been facing issues regarding negative publicity arising from the employees and its drivers. It all started when Mr. Kalanick showed support for president Trump and his ideologies by being part of Trump’s advisory committee. This led to a public campaign by locals to stop using the uber mobile application. Later on a female employee posted on a local blog that Uber had completely ignored her sexual harassment claim. There have also been allegations that a software called Greyball had been used by Uber to help its drivers violate local rules and regulations. These series of events have negatively affected the company’s public image and led to a sharp decrease in annual profits. Corporate culture Uber’s culture is generally aimed at consumer satisfaction as it aims at making transportation reliable for its customers. It is also committed to making sure that transportation can be accessed by anyone, anywhere and at any time at affordable prices. Uber also desires to keep its internal issues private to maintain a positive public image. Examples include trying to conceal a hack on its mobile application and the fact that majority of its drivers were ex-convicts. Its focus on providing comfort to the consumer has led to the disregard of human resources as alleged by employees and drivers. Drivers feel that they are not involved in decision making and appropriate feedback systems are not provided hence they cannot air their grievances. Employees also feel that their claims are not acted upon therefore they go to social media and blogs which contribute to the negative image of the company among the public. Areas of weakness Uber’s culture is generally ineffective because it does not value its employees. It lacks an effective feedback and response system where staff can make their grievances to the management and immediate remedy actions are taken. As a result, employees and drivers feel coerced to work under harsh conditions and lack job satisfaction. Secondly, major stakeholders are not involved in decision making. There are allegations by drivers that Uber slashes its prices without any consultation and the upper executive officers do not consult others before undertaking other influential roles, such as political ones. Thirdly, disregard of the law is evident in Uber’s culture. The company seems to help its drivers in violation of local regulation avoid the authorities and does not disclose vital informatio.

Case Study ch 9: Winning at All Costs at Uber
In early 2017, Uber, the world’s leading ride-sharing service, had a very bad month. Within the span of 30 days, the $70 billion company suffered a series of blows:
· Former Uber engineer Susan Fowler blogged about her “slightly horrifying” time at the company.1 She reported that male managers routinely engaged in sexual harassment (one propositioned her on her first official day at work). Human resource staff ignored her complaints, defending repeat harassers who were star performers by continually claiming they were “first time offenders.”
· A New York Times report backed up Fowler’s claims, finding widespread harassment (a manager was fired for groping multiple women) as well as evidence that employees snorted cocaine at a company retreat.
· The senior vice president of engineering was fired after it was revealed that, before coming to Uber, he had been fired from Google for sexual harassment.
· Several high-level executives quit, including company president Jeff Jones, who had been at the firm only six months. In his resignation statement, Jones criticized management, saying, “The beliefs and approach to leadership that have guided my career are inconsistent with what I saw and experienced at Uber.”2
· A video surfaced of company founder and president Travis Kalanick berating an Uber driver.
· Google—a major investor in the company—sued Uber for stealing its self-driving-car technology.
· Uber blamed “human error” when one of its self-driving cars was involved in an accident when, in fact, the car’s system failed to recognize a red light at an intersection.
· The #DeleteUber hashtag movement encouraged users to boycott the company, blaming it for trying to make extra profits off of an anti-immigration ban protest at New York City’s Kennedy airport.
· News stories revealed that for years Uber used a secret software program to evade authorities in Las Vegas; Portland, Oregon; Boston; Australia; China; Italy; and other cities and countries where it was banned or closely regulated.
The tsunami of bad news was the product of a corporate culture that has been called “toxic,” “aggressive,” and “unrestrained.” Uber’s culture, in turn, is a reflection of founder Travis Kalanick. Since Kalanick and a partner started their firm in 2009 after failing to land a cab ride in Paris, Uber has been focused on growth at seemingly any cost. Kalanick is combative, willing to take on taxi companies, government officials, and anyone else who might stand in his way. He doesn’t let government edicts slow him down, operating in cities that have outlawed the service. The company seemingly battles everyone, being the subject of more lawsuits than any other comparable startup. Many of these suits involve the classification of drivers as contractors instead of employees. Others address labor laws violations, passenger safety, lax driver background checks, and lack of access for disabled riders.
The company’s winner-take-al.

Preface:
The long run average cost curve displays that the cost per unit for a firm moves in a U shaped curve with costs per unit starting at a higher point with lower output and gradually moving downward as output increases, giving the firm economies of scale as it moves down the curve, with cost per unit slowly rising after output rises past the constant average cost portion of the curve, giving the firm diseconomies of scale due to the fact that as output increases new machinery, managers, and workers need to be employed to handle the increase in size of the firm, which adds layers of bureaucracy and complexity that makes the firm less efficient.
Economic logic would dictate as firms experience diseconomies of scale they would lose market share and be forced to downsize or go out of business from nimbler and more efficient firms with lower prices. You can see this happen in a wide variety of examples, case in point, General Motors, which lost market share to its much more efficient Japanese counterpart Toyota.
But strangely, the big banks in the United States, one could argue that they are so large and are currently experiencing diseconomies of scale--as evidenced by their failure to properly see that there practices during the housing bubble would lead to their demise. In fact, one could argue that because the big banks are even larger now due to consolidation during the financial crisis, that they are even less efficient than before. Presented is a graph to help you visualize the long run average cost curve, which is also in chapter 7 of the textbook.
Assignment:
Write at least three paragraphs about why you think that the diseconomies of scale present in the large banks has not lead to smaller and more nimbler banks to gain market share and force the banks to divest and become smaller. The paper should be a minimum half a page with single spacing. Remember there are multiple right answers.
Hint: Look into lobbying efforts by the banks (rent-seeking), lower interest rates when big banks borrow versus community banks, government support, etc.

Governance Gone Wild: Epic Misbehavior at Uber Technologies
Governance Gone Wild: Epic Misbehavior at Uber TechnologiesStanford GSB Corporate Governance Research Initiative
In this Closer Look, we examine the roles that leadership and culture play in contributing to chronic misbehavior and the manner in which it takes root in an organization. We use the example of Uber Technologies. Between 2012 and 2017, Uber Technologies faced a series of governance challenges including regulatory battles, relations with drivers, intellectual property theft, cybersecurity breaches, allegations of sexual harassment, and boardroom battles. We discuss these in detail and ask:
• Did Uber’s early risk-seeking behavior cause larger problems down the road?
• How important is CEO personality and behavior in influencing the collective behavior of an organization?
• How difficult is it to change culture, once it is established?
• To what extent is culture created top down and to what extent bottom up?
• Does Uber need a substantial turnover of management and key non-management employees to successfully complete a cultural shift?

Week 2
Customer Satisfaction, Loyalty,
Empowerment, and Management
The marketing concept, described in Week 1, "What Is Marketing?" reminds us that the customer
should be at the center of a firm's activities and that the company that thrives is the one that
serves customers' needs better than the competition. Yet, often it is the customer who is most
adept at serving the customer's needs. Consumers being able to take control of the marketing
activities aimed at them is what customer empowerment is about.
Today, technology is making it more possible for the customer to do exactly that. In a survey, the
chief marketing officers of 250 top companies were asked about the key factors that influence the
performance of their companies. The officers' response? A company's ability to interact and
respond to its customers as well as empower them (Ramani & Kumar, 2008).
Research shows that customer empowerment is a function of three things: creating feedback
channels that are easy and widely available, asking for and encouraging feedback about products,
and enabling customers to participate in the design of products.
You might think that a company as large as JCPenney would be unable to give customers the
ability to create their own types of shopping experiences—that standardizing the products and
services they receive would be necessary. But JCPenney is an excellent example of how a firm can
use the Internet and other technology to engage its customers and provide them with more
control over the products and marketing communications they receive.
This week, we focus on those ubiquitous feedback channels, as well as strategies to solicit and
encourage feedback. In Week 4, "Market Segmenting, Targeting, and Positioning," we will discuss
how customers can participate in the design of products, or offerings. This week, we will also
tackle customer relationship management (CRM), as well as some of the ethical and legal issues
affecting customers.

organization with poor ethical values at an organizational level. The following are some of the factors that help in the determination of the top tone in an organization.
Factors Influencing Tone at the Top
Marketing Communication
Marketing communication refers to the different modes of marketing techniques used by a company to advertise their products and services to the target consumers. To exemplify corporate ethics at an organizational level, a corporation should educate potential consumers about their products without making any false or exaggerated claims or exploiting public emotions, fears of and discriminations to attract customers or to avail of competitive advantage.
Financial Reporting
Financial reporting is the process through which corporations disclose their financial information to their shareholders, governing authorities and the general public. While most government agencies and corporate associations mandate companies to disclose their financial information such as yearly turnovers, assets, liabilities, investments and donations on a quarterly or fiscal basis, there have been various scandals in the past, in which large corporations have concealed or manipulated financial data in reports to achieve organizational objectives. Such was the case of Boeing in 1997 when the company concealed huge financial overruns. To implement a positive tone at the top, an organization needs to conduct truthful and accurate financial reporting regardless of the circumstances (Lord, 2018).
Leadership
The nature of leadership shown by the managers of an organization determine the employees’ perception of the the internal environment of the corporation, which in turn contributes to the overall tone at the top. To enhance ethics in the work culture, leaders should not only observe, supervise and help employees at their jobs but should also show dedicated and organizational attitude. For example, leaders need to take responsibility for collective mistakes and risks that may arise in the course of any operation (Yasir and Mohamad, 2016). Moreover, transformational leadership is a great way to establish an ethical work culture, whereby leaders show interest in employees’ issues and work towards the benefit of both employees and organizations to encourage workers in achieving organizational goals.
Corporate Philanthropy
Corporate philanthropy refers to the contribution of corporations towards social and environmental causes through donations and sponsorship. In order to achieve a positive tone at the top, corporations need to perform philanthropy as a burden of social responsibility and not as a marketing strategy.
nav
Usually, the top at the tone is really been hearing in many different places within business organizations however, most of men and women have no crystal-clear concept towards them. Some people assume that this tone at the top is the principle that had really been created in the workplace to generate or current en.

1. An example of a value chain using cost leadership is Ikea. Ikea revolutionized the furniture industry by offering cheap but stylish furniture. Ikea is able to keep its prices low by offering a very basic level of service. An example of a firm using differentiation is Nike. Nike differentiates its athletic shoes through its iconic “swoosh” as well as an intense emphasis on product innovation through research and development. An example of a firm that uses a value innovation business-level strategy is Apple. Apple uses this strategy by pairing each product line they have with a streaming service that is available for their customers. For example, iPod with iTunes, iPhone with App Store, and iPad with Apple TV.
2. A firm I personally think that is highly innovative is Uber. Uber rapidly changed the taxi business by offering services that include peer-to-peer ridesharing, ride service hailing, food delivery and a system with electric bikes and scooters. Uber’s firm has used a radical form of innovation by changing the link between concepts and components and overturning the core concepts of getting from point A to point B. The services Uber offers has been radical the entire time the firm has been in business making it hard for competitors to compete.
Leandra Estep
An example of a value chain using cost leadership is to look at the use of technology within a firm. A company could use a computer program to conduct employee evaluations, employee training, or processing job applications. These can reduce the amount of human resources personnel necessary to effectively run the human resource department. There are many ways a firm can make changes in a value chain using differentiation strategy. For instance, a firm can look to see how they can provide their customers with marketing sales which are better than their competition. This could help include improving the order process so it is more efficient and convenient than the competition. The last example is a value chain using integration business level strategy. A firm may choose to use technology in the processing of customers orders to reduce costs and increase efficiency but also increase the customers overall satisfaction in the sales process as being a firm which is both convenient and efficient in comparison with the competition.
An example of a highly innovative firm which used new and upcoming innovation is DoorDash. DoorDash is a form of food delivery that uses a disruptive innovation style. DoorDash has taken the food delivery service and changed the way people get food from various locations that don't deliver food. It is technology offering an application on mobile phones to request and DoorDash food and allows for one flat rate and is known for being able to pick up a large variety of places that don't usually deliver.

Introduction
Uber is primarily a service that offers similar products that are synonymous with those provided by taxis, but its products are differentiated by the integration of modern technology in which there is the use of the mobile app to link both the customers and the drivers. The Uber application is compatible Android, I phones and windows phone which helps it in running its operations excellently and smoothly. It uses cashless technology when it comes to handling issues related to service payments. In the current market set up, it is clear that Uber offers low-cost services as compared to its rivals in the market and also it has the best-experienced drivers who help it to run the business. The rise of internet and outsourcing services has motivated companies willing to come up with creative ways to serve customers in more efficient ways of improving the business strategies of the firm. Stone, B. (2017). The upstarts:
Propose a new product or service for the new company division. The division should be customer-focused with an innovative mission statement. Ensure you are differentiating your product or service.
In this paper, we are going to introduce a new product which is an app that deals with parcels delivery. The Uber Company has only two apps that help it to carry its day to day operations which are the app for drivers and the app for passengers. For this assignment, I would like to introduce a new product which is an app for delivery of parcels. Uber app is a product that would see it encounter stiff competition from rival to become the best taxi and parcel delivery company in the market. It would be in line with its innovative mission to expand its primary operations to cater for all sections of the public transport and parcel delivery which is still an essential market gap that can be explored. The parcel apps would see the company grow into the higher level with enhanced local and international parcel delivery at a tap of a phone button. The service charge for the parcels would be cashless as it would take into account online payment methods just as those opting for the other two apps operated by the company. (Mowery, N., Poling, S. R., & Reavis, P. (1994). Customer focused quality)
Describe how the division addresses customer needs and achieves competitive advantage.
This app is essential in the addressing customer needs regarding fast parcel delivery both locally and international. There have been a lot of issues that have been related to parcel such as their high cost of parcel delivery both locally and globally, others refer to losing essential products in the process of trying to send documents and other relevant products to friends, workmates and family members throughout. By introducing such an app, it would help to curb and downplay this disadvantage and improve more customer delivery service. An integrated parcel management would off ...

All things considered, as a bundle, social media applications are flawed, nor are they static. Like most technologies, these remain imperfect and are dependent upon future developments.[Report] The Rise of Digital Influence by Brian Solis
Digital Influence is one of the hottest trends in social media, yet is largely misunderstood. "The Rise of Digital Influence," the new report by Altimeter Group Principal Principal Analyst Brian Solis, is a 'how-to' guide for businesses to spark desirable effects and outcomes through social media influence.

Report Overview
In this assignment, you will
Document and reflect on your university education and on learning experiences outside of the university;
Articulate how your upper-level coursework is an integrated and individualized curriculum built around your interests; and
Highlight the experiences, skills, and projects that show what you can do.
A successful report submission will be the product of many hours of work over several weeks.
A report earning maximum available points will be a carefully curated and edited explanation of your work that provides tangible evidence of—and insights into—your competencies and capabilities over time. In each section of this report, you are (1) telling a story about your own abilities, and (2) providing specific examples and evidence that illustrate and support your claims.
✍
Required Report Sections
Here the sections are listed as they must appear in your final graded submission. You’ll arrange the sections in this order when
submitting
the final report BUT you won’t follow this order when
writing
drafts of each section.
Note that each section description contains a Pro Tip that tells you how to proceed with the work – what to attempt first, second, and third, etc.
❖ I. Statement of Purpose ❖
Step 1.
Read these four very different
examples of successful Statement of Purpose sections
.
Step 2.
Consider the differences in tone, style, level of detail etc. Your own statement of purpose may resemble one of these. Indeed, writing a first draft based on an example or combination of examples is a good idea. BUT don’t let these examples limit your thinking or personal expression. You may want to begin with a quote from a famous person, use a quote from your mom, or skip the quote. You may want to discuss your personal motivations or get right down to the facts. You may want to list your classes or discuss how your work-life led you to this path.
Step 3.
Write a rough draft – let’s call that Statement of Purpose 1.0. Write Statement of Purpose 1.0 as quickly as you can and then put it away until after you have completed most of the report. Forget about Statement of Purpose 1.0 until most of your report is at least in draft form.
Step 4.
Once you have a draft of all sections of your report, you are in a good position to revise Statement of Purpose 1. You are ready for Step 4. Take Statement of Purpose 1.0 out its dusty vault and hold it up to the sun. Ah. Now read your report draft and compare it to the claims you made in Statement of Purpose 1.0. Ask yourself these questions:
Does Statement of Purpose 1.0. accurately introduce my report?
Are there important ideas or representative experiences in the report that should be highlighted in the Statement of Purpose but aren’t? Remember this isn’t a treasure hunt where its your reader’s job to figure out what matters. It’s your job to show the reader what matters.

Governance Gone Wild: Epic Misbehavior at Uber Technologies
Governance Gone Wild: Epic Misbehavior at Uber TechnologiesStanford GSB Corporate Governance Research Initiative
In this Closer Look, we examine the roles that leadership and culture play in contributing to chronic misbehavior and the manner in which it takes root in an organization. We use the example of Uber Technologies. Between 2012 and 2017, Uber Technologies faced a series of governance challenges including regulatory battles, relations with drivers, intellectual property theft, cybersecurity breaches, allegations of sexual harassment, and boardroom battles. We discuss these in detail and ask:
• Did Uber’s early risk-seeking behavior cause larger problems down the road?
• How important is CEO personality and behavior in influencing the collective behavior of an organization?
• How difficult is it to change culture, once it is established?
• To what extent is culture created top down and to what extent bottom up?
• Does Uber need a substantial turnover of management and key non-management employees to successfully complete a cultural shift?

Week 2
Customer Satisfaction, Loyalty,
Empowerment, and Management
The marketing concept, described in Week 1, "What Is Marketing?" reminds us that the customer
should be at the center of a firm's activities and that the company that thrives is the one that
serves customers' needs better than the competition. Yet, often it is the customer who is most
adept at serving the customer's needs. Consumers being able to take control of the marketing
activities aimed at them is what customer empowerment is about.
Today, technology is making it more possible for the customer to do exactly that. In a survey, the
chief marketing officers of 250 top companies were asked about the key factors that influence the
performance of their companies. The officers' response? A company's ability to interact and
respond to its customers as well as empower them (Ramani & Kumar, 2008).
Research shows that customer empowerment is a function of three things: creating feedback
channels that are easy and widely available, asking for and encouraging feedback about products,
and enabling customers to participate in the design of products.
You might think that a company as large as JCPenney would be unable to give customers the
ability to create their own types of shopping experiences—that standardizing the products and
services they receive would be necessary. But JCPenney is an excellent example of how a firm can
use the Internet and other technology to engage its customers and provide them with more
control over the products and marketing communications they receive.
This week, we focus on those ubiquitous feedback channels, as well as strategies to solicit and
encourage feedback. In Week 4, "Market Segmenting, Targeting, and Positioning," we will discuss
how customers can participate in the design of products, or offerings. This week, we will also
tackle customer relationship management (CRM), as well as some of the ethical and legal issues
affecting customers.

organization with poor ethical values at an organizational level. The following are some of the factors that help in the determination of the top tone in an organization.
Factors Influencing Tone at the Top
Marketing Communication
Marketing communication refers to the different modes of marketing techniques used by a company to advertise their products and services to the target consumers. To exemplify corporate ethics at an organizational level, a corporation should educate potential consumers about their products without making any false or exaggerated claims or exploiting public emotions, fears of and discriminations to attract customers or to avail of competitive advantage.
Financial Reporting
Financial reporting is the process through which corporations disclose their financial information to their shareholders, governing authorities and the general public. While most government agencies and corporate associations mandate companies to disclose their financial information such as yearly turnovers, assets, liabilities, investments and donations on a quarterly or fiscal basis, there have been various scandals in the past, in which large corporations have concealed or manipulated financial data in reports to achieve organizational objectives. Such was the case of Boeing in 1997 when the company concealed huge financial overruns. To implement a positive tone at the top, an organization needs to conduct truthful and accurate financial reporting regardless of the circumstances (Lord, 2018).
Leadership
The nature of leadership shown by the managers of an organization determine the employees’ perception of the the internal environment of the corporation, which in turn contributes to the overall tone at the top. To enhance ethics in the work culture, leaders should not only observe, supervise and help employees at their jobs but should also show dedicated and organizational attitude. For example, leaders need to take responsibility for collective mistakes and risks that may arise in the course of any operation (Yasir and Mohamad, 2016). Moreover, transformational leadership is a great way to establish an ethical work culture, whereby leaders show interest in employees’ issues and work towards the benefit of both employees and organizations to encourage workers in achieving organizational goals.
Corporate Philanthropy
Corporate philanthropy refers to the contribution of corporations towards social and environmental causes through donations and sponsorship. In order to achieve a positive tone at the top, corporations need to perform philanthropy as a burden of social responsibility and not as a marketing strategy.
nav
Usually, the top at the tone is really been hearing in many different places within business organizations however, most of men and women have no crystal-clear concept towards them. Some people assume that this tone at the top is the principle that had really been created in the workplace to generate or current en.

1. An example of a value chain using cost leadership is Ikea. Ikea revolutionized the furniture industry by offering cheap but stylish furniture. Ikea is able to keep its prices low by offering a very basic level of service. An example of a firm using differentiation is Nike. Nike differentiates its athletic shoes through its iconic “swoosh” as well as an intense emphasis on product innovation through research and development. An example of a firm that uses a value innovation business-level strategy is Apple. Apple uses this strategy by pairing each product line they have with a streaming service that is available for their customers. For example, iPod with iTunes, iPhone with App Store, and iPad with Apple TV.
2. A firm I personally think that is highly innovative is Uber. Uber rapidly changed the taxi business by offering services that include peer-to-peer ridesharing, ride service hailing, food delivery and a system with electric bikes and scooters. Uber’s firm has used a radical form of innovation by changing the link between concepts and components and overturning the core concepts of getting from point A to point B. The services Uber offers has been radical the entire time the firm has been in business making it hard for competitors to compete.
Leandra Estep
An example of a value chain using cost leadership is to look at the use of technology within a firm. A company could use a computer program to conduct employee evaluations, employee training, or processing job applications. These can reduce the amount of human resources personnel necessary to effectively run the human resource department. There are many ways a firm can make changes in a value chain using differentiation strategy. For instance, a firm can look to see how they can provide their customers with marketing sales which are better than their competition. This could help include improving the order process so it is more efficient and convenient than the competition. The last example is a value chain using integration business level strategy. A firm may choose to use technology in the processing of customers orders to reduce costs and increase efficiency but also increase the customers overall satisfaction in the sales process as being a firm which is both convenient and efficient in comparison with the competition.
An example of a highly innovative firm which used new and upcoming innovation is DoorDash. DoorDash is a form of food delivery that uses a disruptive innovation style. DoorDash has taken the food delivery service and changed the way people get food from various locations that don't deliver food. It is technology offering an application on mobile phones to request and DoorDash food and allows for one flat rate and is known for being able to pick up a large variety of places that don't usually deliver.

Introduction
Uber is primarily a service that offers similar products that are synonymous with those provided by taxis, but its products are differentiated by the integration of modern technology in which there is the use of the mobile app to link both the customers and the drivers. The Uber application is compatible Android, I phones and windows phone which helps it in running its operations excellently and smoothly. It uses cashless technology when it comes to handling issues related to service payments. In the current market set up, it is clear that Uber offers low-cost services as compared to its rivals in the market and also it has the best-experienced drivers who help it to run the business. The rise of internet and outsourcing services has motivated companies willing to come up with creative ways to serve customers in more efficient ways of improving the business strategies of the firm. Stone, B. (2017). The upstarts:
Propose a new product or service for the new company division. The division should be customer-focused with an innovative mission statement. Ensure you are differentiating your product or service.
In this paper, we are going to introduce a new product which is an app that deals with parcels delivery. The Uber Company has only two apps that help it to carry its day to day operations which are the app for drivers and the app for passengers. For this assignment, I would like to introduce a new product which is an app for delivery of parcels. Uber app is a product that would see it encounter stiff competition from rival to become the best taxi and parcel delivery company in the market. It would be in line with its innovative mission to expand its primary operations to cater for all sections of the public transport and parcel delivery which is still an essential market gap that can be explored. The parcel apps would see the company grow into the higher level with enhanced local and international parcel delivery at a tap of a phone button. The service charge for the parcels would be cashless as it would take into account online payment methods just as those opting for the other two apps operated by the company. (Mowery, N., Poling, S. R., & Reavis, P. (1994). Customer focused quality)
Describe how the division addresses customer needs and achieves competitive advantage.
This app is essential in the addressing customer needs regarding fast parcel delivery both locally and international. There have been a lot of issues that have been related to parcel such as their high cost of parcel delivery both locally and globally, others refer to losing essential products in the process of trying to send documents and other relevant products to friends, workmates and family members throughout. By introducing such an app, it would help to curb and downplay this disadvantage and improve more customer delivery service. An integrated parcel management would off ...

General Systems Theory: Its Past and
Potential†
Peter Caws1,2*
1Department of Philosophy, The George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA
2American Association for the Advancement of Science, Washington, DC, USA
This paper has three parts. First, I discuss what I take as the original stimulus and the pur-
pose of general systems theory (GST) to be, why I think it is important, and how I came to
be involved in it. I reflect on von Bertalanffy’s general system (sic) theory and the early
debates on the topic, stressing the essential concept of isomorphism, with its rewards in
following up parallel developments in different domains, and its risks and temptations
in the projection of grand and all-inclusive systems. Second, I discuss the direction my
own work took after my term as President of the Society for General Systems Research
(1966–1967), and how it diverged from the early program, in particular in its emphasis
on the difference between system and structure and on the essential role of individual
subjectivity in the latter. I stress the importance of the concept of ‘relation’ as underlying
that of ‘system’, and in particular the difference between relations as embodied in physical
systems and relations as components of intentional structures that may or may not corre-
spond to physical systems. In the third and final part, I discuss the place of GST in the
philosophy of science, especially in connection with the unity of science movement, and
its potential for the organization of this domain. I ask what light the concept of system
can throw on our knowledge of the universe and its worlds (a distinction explained in
the paper), and what the risks are of assuming tight isomorphisms between mathematical
structures and physical systems, for example, in cosmology and quantum mechanics.

of the following options below and, in your post, write a paraphrase that avoids plagiarism of the paragraph you have chosen. Your paraphrase can be as long as the excerpt you have chosen, but should not duplicate any phrasing from the excerpt. If you must, you can quote up to three words in a phrase.
Choose to paraphrase ONE of the excerpts below:
Option 1
Morrison began writing Sula in 1969, a time of great activism among African Americans and others who were working toward equal civil rights and opportunities. The book addresses issues of racism, bigotry, and suppression of African Americans; it depicts the despair people feel when they can't get decent jobs, and the determination of some to survive. Eva, for example, cuts off her leg in order to get money to raise her family. Morrison shows how, faced with racist situations, some people had to grovel to whites simply to get by, as Helene does on a train heading through the South. Others, however, fought back, as Sula does when she threatens some white boys who are harassing her and Nel.
or
Option 2
In 1993, Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, and thus became the first African American and only the eighth woman ever to win the award. According to Maureen O'Brien in Publishers Weekly, Morrison said, "What is most wonderful for me personally is to know that the Prize has at last been awarded to an African American. I thank God that my mother is alive to see this day." In 1996, she received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

••• JONATHAN LETHEM CRITICS OFTEN USE the word prolifi.docx
•••
JONATHAN LETHEM
CRITICS OFTEN USE the word prolific to describe Jonathan Lethem. He has published
nine novels, five collections of stories, two essay volumes, a novella, and a comic
book. But a better word for him might be protean. In the religion of the ancient
Greeks, Proteus was a god of the sea who presided over unexpected change, a
power that gave him the ability to alter .his shape whenever humans tried to
compel him to foretell events. Like the mythical Proteus, Lethem is a shape-shifter
whose work threads across boundaries of all kinds-the boundaries between detective
:fiction, for example, and the "serious" literature of ideas. What Lethem has written
about New York might be said to encapsulate his view of both life and art:
To live in Manhattan is to be persistently amazed at the worlds squirreled
inside one another, like those lines of television cable and fresh water and
steam heat and outgoing sewage and telephone wire and whatever else
which cohabit in the same intestinal holes that pavement-demolishing
workmen periodically wrench open. . . . We only pretend to live on
something as orderly as a grid.
For Lethem, the writer's task is to look beneath the reassuring surface. He
believes the truth is seldom found by stopping with the obvious or respecting
conventions. Indeed, he sees the act of writing as fundamentally promiscuous.
Perhaps it is not at all surprising that Lethem would have some unexpected
ideas about what it means to be creative. Normally we think of creativity as the
ability to say or do something completely original, but the isolation implied by this
belief strikes Lethem as unappealing. Instead, he celebrates what he calls the
"ecstasy of influence." If we wish, we can treat words, ideas, and images as some
body's private property, but we can also view them as available for everyone to
use. Nothing, he suggests, is totally original: everything is bound up with every
thing else, if not on the surface, then underneath, like the "lines of television cable
and fresh water" hidden by the "grid." Once we give up the idea of the private
ownership of culture, writing and thinking take on a new life, as acts of generosity
that place us in debt to everyone who .has made our creativity possible.

A National Profile of
the Real Estate Industry and
the Appraisal Profession
by J. Reid Cummings and Donald R. Epley, PhD, MAI, SRA
FEATURES
T
J- he
he real estate industry has been devastated on many fronts' in the years
following the Great Recession, whieh began in 2007^ due to the bursting of the
housing bubble and the subsequent finaneial crisis relating to the mortgage
market meltdown.' The implosion of the mortgage markets initially began when
two Bear Stearns mortgage-backed securities hedge funds, holding nearly $10
billion in assets, disintegrated into nothing.* Panie quickly spread to financial
institutions that could not hide the extent of their toxic, subprime exposures, and
a massive, worldwide credit squeeze ensued; outright fear soon replaced panic.
Subsequent eredit tightening and substantial illiquidity in the financial markets
rapidly and severely affected the housing and construction markets.' Throughout
the United States, properties of all kinds saw dramatic value declines.
In thousands of cases, real estate foreclosures disrupted people's lives,
forced businesses to close, eaused financial institutions to falter, capsized wbole
market segments, devastated entire industries, and squeezed municipal and state
government budgets dependent upon use and property tax revenues.* While the
effeets of property value declines and the waves of foreclosures in markets across
the country captured most of the headlines, one significant impact of the upheaval
in US real estate markets has gone largely unreported: its impact on employment
in the real estate industry, and specifically, the real estate appraisal profession.
This article presents a
current employment
profile of the US real
estate industry, with
special attention given
to appraisal profes-
sionals. It serves as an
informative picture of
the appraisal profession
for use as a benchmark
for future assessment
of growth. As a
component of the real
estate industry, the
appraisal profession
ranks as the smallest
in employment, is
highly correlated to
movements in empioy-
ment of brokers and
agents, and relies on
commerciai banking,
credit, and real estate
lessors and managers
to deliver its products.

Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue .docx
“Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue I and Rescue II. In the first Rescue story we are hurrying in our jeep to save some people – let there be five of them – who are imminently threatened by the ocean tide. We have not a moment to spare, so when we hear of a single person who also needs rescuing from some other disaster we say regretfully that we cannot rescue him, but must leave him to die. To most of us, this seems clear […]. This is Rescue I and with it I contrast Rescue II. In this second story we are again hurrying to the place where the tide is coming in in order to rescue the party of people, but this time it is relevant that the road is narrow and rocky. In this version, the lone individual is trapped (do not ask me how) on the path. If we are to rescue the five we would have to drive over him. But can we do so? If we stop he will be all right eventually: he is in no danger unless from us. But of course, all five of the others will be drowned. As in the first story, our choice is between a course of action that will leave one man dead and five alive at the end of the day and a course of action which will have the opposite result. (Philippa Foot, “Killing and Letting Die,” from Abortion and Legal Perspectives, eds. Garfield and Hennessey, 2004, University of Massachusetts Press)
1. What would Mill tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his theory of utilitarianism? Be clear in explaining Mill’s recommendation, and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The Principle of Utility and how it would specifically apply in this situation—who gets “counted” and how?
2. What would Kant tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his deontological theory? Be clear in explaining Kant’s recommendation and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The first version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in these two situations (hint, you have to say what the maxim would be and what duty would be generated according to it).
o The second version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in this situation.
3. Explain one criticism of both Mill and Kant. Afterward, argue for which ethical approach, on your view is superior. Be specific and provide reasons for your claim.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

RUNNINGHEAD Uber Technologies IncorporationUber Technologies .docx
- 1. RUNNINGHEAD: Uber Technologies Incorporation Uber Technologies Incorporation Description of the organization Uber Technologies Incorporation was founded in 2009 by Travis Kalanick and Garrett camp. As a startup it was known as Ubercab with only taxi services at a high cost but it has developed over the years to also provide food delivery services and peer ride sharing. Today it operates effectively via a mobile phone application and it operates in major cities around the world despite its headquarters being in San Francisco. Uber has recently been facing issues regarding negative publicity arising from the employees and its drivers. It all started when Mr. Kalanick showed support for president Trump and his ideologies by being part of Trump’s advisory committee. This led to a public campaign by locals to stop using the uber mobile application. Later on a female employee posted on a local blog that Uber had completely ignored her sexual harassment claim. There have also been allegations that a software called Greyball had been used by Uber to help its drivers violate local rules and regulations. These series of events have negatively affected the company’s public image and led to a sharp decrease in annual profits. Corporate culture Uber’s culture is generally aimed at consumer satisfaction as it aims at making transportation reliable for its customers. It is also committed to making sure that transportation can be accessed by anyone, anywhere and at any time at affordable prices. Uber also desires to keep its internal issues private to maintain a positive public image. Examples include trying to conceal a hack on its mobile application and the fact that majority of its drivers were ex-convicts. Its focus on providing
- 2. comfort to the consumer has led to the disregard of human resources as alleged by employees and drivers. Drivers feel that they are not involved in decision making and appropriate feedback systems are not provided hence they cannot air their grievances. Employees also feel that their claims are not acted upon therefore they go to social media and blogs which contribute to the negative image of the company among the public. Areas of weakness Uber’s culture is generally ineffective because it does not value its employees. It lacks an effective feedback and response system where staff can make their grievances to the management and immediate remedy actions are taken. As a result, employees and drivers feel coerced to work under harsh conditions and lack job satisfaction. Secondly, major stakeholders are not involved in decision making. There are allegations by drivers that Uber slashes its prices without any consultation and the upper executive officers do not consult others before undertaking other influential roles, such as political ones. Thirdly, disregard of the law is evident in Uber’s culture. The company seems to help its drivers in violation of local regulation avoid the authorities and does not disclose vital information to the government. Lastly, there is no direct interaction with the public to gauge their feelings on certain issues. Management also seems to take the political side against the majority of its customers’ ideologies. Solution s The company should establish proper feedback systems which are distinct and separate for their three top stakeholders:
- 3. drivers, employees and customers. This will ensure everyone feels part of the organization and possibly avoids tarnishing the organization’s image. Key personnel entrusted with management of the company should distance themselves from taking other roles that are influential and divisive so as to prevent the customers from feeling excluded. Moreover, employees should be treated fairly and given the respect they deserve so that they can reciprocate the same to customers and improve on the company’s image. They should also be given a chance to own stock in the company through purchasing shares so they feel part of the organization. Executive summary The major challenge facing Uber Technologies Incorporation is negative publicity which starts from the inside by employees who feel dissatisfied. To remedy this, employees should be valued as an important asset to the business and widely consulted before any major decisions are completed. Management personnel should also be cautious in their lives outside the organization so as to maintain a positive public image. However, the immediate remedial action should be to correct the negative public image that already exists among the public by dealing with their on issues.
