Business Ethics Task 1:
Organizational ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility
SCHOOL University
MILKMAN / Student ID #: XXXXX
A. Corporate Policies
To restrain from any misuse of TechFite funding, the human resources department will implement the following policies.
· Requirements of full-time employees: All employees with a full-time status are required to work a minimum of 36 hours per week; this is not to exceed more than 40 hour per week. If an employee works more than 40 hours per week, he/she is eligible to receive overtime compensation at indicated in the employee handbook. All full-time employees are eligible to receive company employee benefits. Any employee working less than 36 hours per week will be classified as a part-time employee and will be required to sign a change of status form acknowledging change of benefit.
· Bonus Distribution to Employees: TechFite will prohibit the distribution of bonuses to executive and leadership of the company. The company will use revenue assets to compensate all employees at the same percentage increase regardless of job titles and status. This will assist of equal opportunities within the company.
· Sponsorship and Company Participation of Community Events: The company will mandate the sponsorship of all community organizations. This policy will assure all executive attendance and sponsorship is present for organizations that would benefit from TechFite.
A1. Rationale
· The policy, Requirements of Full-Time Employees, will serve as a protection of all employee status. This policy will outline that full-time employees will no longer have a decrease of hours which could potentially harm the security of their employee benefits. This policy will also outline the proper communication and documentation required for any status changes. This will assure employee awareness of any benefit changes due to their status.
· The Bonus Distribution to Employees policy will grant equal opportunities and equal compensations to all employees. This policy will fully detail no preference will be given to higher executives for bonus compensations.
· The policy, Sponsorship and Company Participation of Community Events, will assure all executive attendance and sponsorship is present for organizations that would benefit from TechFit, which in return will increase the moral of the company within the community. This policy will indicate that sponsorship is not optional, yet mandatory.

The Role of Business Ethics in Employee Engagement
November 04, 2009
//By Tom Monahan, CEO of the Corporate Executive Board
My focus on ethical management reminds me that I still own a box full of business cards with
my name from a company that no longer exists.
My first job out of college was with Arthur Andersen. At the time, it was a single organization
and I worked in a division that became Andersen Consulting, and is now Accenture. Arthur
Andersen had one of the most ethical cultures I have seen; the best people, the best business
systems, and a holistic commitment to performance ethics. Yet, it went from being one of the
leading professional services organizations to only a Wikipedia entry in a matter of months, due
to unethical behaviors in a reasonably small niche of the firm. The disappearance of my first
employer due to ethical failures is a powerful lesson I bring to work everyday.
While this is a somber example of the potential downside from an ethics or compliance failure, I
have the opportunity at CEB to see how much upside a manager and leader can create with a
focus on this issue. One of CEB’s core strengths is a voracious appetite for quantifying the
drivers of corporate performance. We ask ourselves: what do the best companies do to create
inordinate value? We have gathered and analyzed millions of data points about employee
perceptions and behavior and rigorously tied them to key drivers of corporate productivity. What
we found is a strong link between ethical cultures and employee engagement. If an employee
works for a company they consider having a strong ethical culture they work harder, stay longer,
and are less likely to leave. Collectively, this data points to a 9% productivity boost from ethical
leadership in the management ranks. That’s a stunning figure, and for me, maybe even more
compelling than the business cards.
While there is a strong link, both ethical behaviors and employee engagement are at risk. What
we see happening, across hundreds of thousands of employees at the world’s largest companies,
is a perfect storm brewing composed of three different factors.
First, we see heightened employee cynicism about commitment of management to ethical
principles and compliance standards, as management teams wrestle with critical issues elsewhere
in the business.
Second, unhappy employees are unable to leave their current roles. In a normal economy, if an
employee does not like their boss, they can leave. However, today unsatisfied employees are
unable to move because of limited opportunities. This results in what we estimate to be about a 7
percent productivity shortfall in most companies as a result of low engagement levels.
Third, employee disengagement is particularly pronounced with the highest potential employees
within an organization. These employees are three times as likely to leave as a normal employee
once the economy improves. Mos ...

Corporate social responsibility CSR and ethical behavior have come in front these years in both developed and developing countries to bring the effective results for the overall growth of any organizations. These two concepts bring important benefits to a business. This paper will highlight the basic concepts and how these two concepts works along with its importance and need in today’s time for the organizational overall growth and success.

1)Why have concerns over pollution become so important for managemen.pdfarjunhassan8
1)Why have concerns over pollution become so important for management and directors?
2)How can corporations ensure that their employees behave ethically?
Solution
1) Stakeholders increasingly expect that a company\'s activities are in the best interest of the
society and the people. Stakeholders want their companies to work not just to increase their
wealth but also their standard of living by keeping the pollution to a level which is well below
the environmental guidelines and which is not harmful to the people (ie: responsible for smog,
polluted water, acid rain). Also, now it has become the corporate social responsibilty to keep the
pollution level well below the guidelines and rules. This helps to increase the goodwill of the
company which in turn increase the faith of investors in the company.
2) Corporations can ensure the same by taking various steps and incentives. Following are
certain ways by which corporations can esure the same:-
There should be a proper code of conduct within the company which says that employees should
behave in a certain way. Employees must be motivated and trained and be given incentives to
work hard in the interests of stockholders. Their behavior must be observed to ensure they do not
behave illegally or unethically that threaten the trust of stockholders and public in the compny. In
many companies employees focus on maximizing their own wealth. In an effort to prevent
scandals the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), continues to increase regulations that
increase transparencies and eliminate conflicts of interest. The SEC’s goal after each major crisis
is to prevent the unethical behavior and illegal behavior. Corporations can ensure that their
employees behave ethically by creating segregation of duties where appropriate, creating an
incentive program that doesn’t encourage unethical behavior, having control systems in place, a
proper hiring process, and athorough training process. There should be proper system in place to
ensure that such unethical behaviour will be caught. Corporations need to ensure that their
employees understand their responsibilities in carrying out their duties and responsibilities..

Every nonprofit Board needs to consider these three questions about their own nonprofit:
1. Has the development of technology left the importance and value of the human factors (i.e. people) behind?
2. Are we bringing people’s competency along at a rate sufficient for them to be comfortable, confident and competent with technology?
3. Is technology working better than what it is meant to replace?

Paper #1 SCHOOL DROPOUTS
Some statistics about student dropouts follow. The task is to decide what you would do to keep students in schools. In other words, what can be done to improve these statistics?
The national dropout rate is between 25 and 30 percent of students. The typical high school graduation includes only 70 percent of its ninth-grade class members. One result is that approximately one-third of the adult population is functionally illiterate.
States with the lowest dropout rates:
North Dakota
Minnesota
Delaware
Iowa
South Dakota
States with the highest dropout rates:
Louisiana
Florida
Nevada
Mississippi
Tennessee
Georgia
It is possible to spot regional differences in dropout rates, but even more noticeable is the effect of family economics on dropout statistics.

CHILDERN AND ANXIETY
CHILDREN AND ANXIETY
The prevalence of anxiety disorders among children seems to be on the rise. Children are being treated for obsessive-compulsive disorder, for post-traumatic stress syndrome, and generalized anxiety disorders. Some authors have suggested that the world is a far more frightening and stressful place for children now than in previous generations. Recent historical events, such as the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, the war in Iraq, and similar events that receive heavy media coverage, may present children with things to think about that previous generations did not experience. In addition, children are exposed to many more graphic images of violence and victimization in their media. These factors, plus the fact that their parents, teachers, and caregivers are also experiencing stressors, might contribute to children’s anxiety.

You must create a court system for the newly created state of Puerto Rico. You are to work under the assumption that Puerto Rico has just been admitted as the 51st state and build your court system from the bottom up. To be certain you understand how courts are organized in other states, you must research at least three current state court systems, within the United States, and use those systems to create Puerto Rico’s system. Do not use Puerto Rico’s current system as one of your examples. You must describe your proposal for creating Puerto Rico’s municipal courts, major trial courts, appellate courts, and the state’s highest court. Include geographic jurisdictions.
You must also describe how judges will be chosen for each court and must discuss how judicial and attorney ethical standards will be structured and enforced. You should conduct basic research on Puerto Rico (size, geography, population, existing counties or municipios, etc.) to be certain your proposed system will actually work.
Remember to provide citations when you borrow some idea or structure from another state.
The body (not including cover page, works cited/bibliography, etc.) of the paper must be 10-12 pages in length, double spaced, using Times New Roman 12-point font. A works cited page or bibliography (depending on the citation system used) must be included. Submitting too many pages will have the same result as submitting too few pages.

You must complete an Electronic Presentation on Black Culture.docxdavezstarr61655
You must complete an
Electronic Presentation on Black Culture
. You will select and present on the significances of two works of black culture. The first work you select must be a work of African-American literature, poetry, music, fashion, dance, or some other cultural art form that was created and/or popularized by an
African American
during the time periods of the Harlem and Chicago Renaissances (1917-1949). Your second work of black culture must have been created and/or popularized by a black person (but not necessarily an African American) within YOUR lifetime. For example, if you were born in 1999, your second cultural selection needs to have been created by a black person between 1999 and the present. The two works you select to present do not have to share a cultural form (i.e. one work can be a poem and the other can be a song; one work can be a painting and the other can be a fashion trend). Nor do the two works have to share a particular theme. You may choose to do a compare-and-contrast type presentation. But, you do not have to. In presenting the works, you will need to provide background information on your chosen works (i.e. when where the works created; who created them or made them famous; and, what impact did the works have on the cultural landscape when and since they first appeared?). You will also have to briefly explain why you made those particular selections, and explain what you think each work tells people about the ways in which African-American/Black culture and experiences remained congruent and/or changed from the eras of the Harlem and Chicago Renaissances to the modern era. Moreover, your Electronic Presentation on Black Culture must be creative in both style and substance.
Your Electronic Presentation should have a run time of 7-10 minutes.
And, it must contain both audio and visual components.
When delivering your Electronic Presentation, you will serve as the professor for the class. So, give a Presentation that your temporary students (i.e. your classmates and Dr. Brown) will find to be both impressive and informative. The more creative, interesting, organized, and informative your Presentation is, the higher your grade will be. If your Presentation is disorganized, bland, lacks imagination, or does little more than echo information and ideas that have already been presented through the course texts, media, and PowerPoint lectures, you should not expect to earn a stellar grade on it.
Your presentation should add information, details, and/or perspectives that we did not cover in class. As such, I strongly recommend that you research and select cultural works that we did not discuss in class. In other words, avoid selecting a poem by Langston Hughes or a song we covered in class. Be more creative. Do more research. And, you should use and cite outside sources for the Electronic Presentation.

Your second work of black culture must have been created and/or popularized by a black person (but not necessarily an African American) within YOUR lifetime. For example, if you were born in 1999, your second cultural selection needs to have been created by a black person between 1999 and the present. The two works you select to present do not have to share a cultural form (i.e. one work can be a poem and the other can be a song; one work can be a painting and the other can be a fashion trend). Nor do the two works have to share a particular theme. You may choose to do a compare-and-contrast type presentation. But, you do not have to. In presenting the works, you will need to provide background information on your chosen works (i.e. when where the works created; who created them or made them famous; and, what impact did the works have on the cultural landscape when and since they first appeared?). You will also have to briefly explain why you made those particular selections, and explain what you think each work tells people about the ways in which African-American/Black culture and experiences remained congruent and/or changed from the eras of the Harlem and Chicago Renaissances to the modern era. Moreover, your Electronic Presentation on Black Culture must be creative in both style and substance.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Business Ethics Task 1:
Organizational ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility
SCHOOL University
MILKMAN / Student ID #: XXXXX
2. A. Corporate Policies
To restrain from any misuse of TechFite funding, the human
resources department will implement the following policies.
· Requirements of full-time employees: All employees with a
full-time status are required to work a minimum of 36 hours per
week; this is not to exceed more than 40 hour per week. If an
employee works more than 40 hours per week, he/she is eligible
to receive overtime compensation at indicated in the employee
handbook. All full-time employees are eligible to receive
company employee benefits. Any employee working less than
36 hours per week will be classified as a part-time employee
and will be required to sign a change of status form
acknowledging change of benefit.
· Bonus Distribution to Employees: TechFite will prohibit the
distribution of bonuses to executive and leadership of the
company. The company will use revenue assets to compensate
all employees at the same percentage increase regardless of job
titles and status. This will assist of equal opportunities within
the company.
· Sponsorship and Company Participation of Community Events:
The company will mandate the sponsorship of all community
organizations. This policy will assure all executive attendance
and sponsorship is present for organizations that would benefit
from TechFite.
A1. Rationale
· The policy, Requirements of Full-Time Employees, will serve
as a protection of all employee status. This policy will outline
that full-time employees will no longer have a decrease of hours
which could potentially harm the security of their employee
3. benefits. This policy will also outline the proper
communication and documentation required for any status
changes. This will assure employee awareness of any benefit
changes due to their status.
· The Bonus Distribution to Employees policy will grant equal
opportunities and equal compensations to all employees. This
policy will fully detail no preference will be given to higher
executives for bonus compensations.
· The policy, Sponsorship and Company Participation of
Community Events, will assure all executive attendance and
sponsorship is present for organizations that would benefit from
TechFit, which in return will increase the moral of the company
within the community. This policy will indicate that
sponsorship is not optional, yet mandatory.
A2. Ethical Versus Legal issues
· Not all ethical issues are illegal, as some do not cause a
violation of governing law. The issues discussed were only
unethical for employees and the community, but not criminal
acts upon anyone. Unethical issues only become illegal actions
when a legal law has been broken. In the case of TechFit only
ethical beliefs were broken that affected employees and the
community.
A3. Ethical Issues in the Scenario
· TechFite is currently experiencing the ethical issues
concerning the organization’s core values, morality, and
integrity. The company is not following by it’s standards and
values towards their employees and the community. The core
values of the company are being challenged by not assuring that
all employees are one of the company’s top priority. Not
providing them the appropriate compensation and decreasing the
opportunity to receive all of the employee benefits challenged
the loyalty of the company to their employees. The company’s
morality towards employees and the community was not
appropriate and did not look towards the best overall. The
company itself only looked towards benefit the executives with
higher positions. Each unethical decision made by TechFite
4. will unfortunately play a role on the company. Many employees
will assume that the company will not provide them t he best
opportunities. The employees will be insecure about the
company’s loyalty and whether it is capable of following the
standards and core values it stands for.
A4. Purpose of the Ethics Officer
· The ethics officer serves as the leaders of an organization
capable of identifying ethical and unethical issues within an
organization. The duties and responsibilities of an ethics
officer is to provide leadership for ethical concerns, to assure
compliance is being followed by all members of the
organization, as well as serving as a liaison between the
organization, affiliates, and employees. The ethics officer
contributes to assure that the company’s mission and vision are
being met and no illegal acts are taking place. The ethics
officer can ensure that a safe and professional environment is
being provided to all of its employees. The ethics officer can
assure compliance within an organization policies and standards
by providing training to all of its employees including
executives and leadership. The ethics officer can also
implement deadlines for policy implementations as well as
reviewing of existing policies. All policies can be written in
terms for all employees to easily understand and follow.
B. Corporate Social Responsibility
· Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a business practice
which is incorporate into the business model of a company that
can give a positive impact to the company itself, community,
and environment. This is important as it provides the company
an improved image and brand building. TechFite would benefit
from being socially responsible, as it will give employees a
sense of compliance of its core values and engagement within
the community. The City of Dellberg and the TechFite
employees benefit from the practice of CSR by being allowed
the opportunity of growth and improvement of the environment
and society. CSR will provide more work opportunities and
better engagement and salary to their employees.
5. B1. Community Reputation
· TechFite did not provide all full-time employees their full-
time scheduled hours, which in return placed at risk all
employee benefits and compensations, and violations of
company HR compliance.
· The company allowed for budget earnings to be used as
bonuses to higher executives, which limited resources to its
employees and the community.
· Techfite also failed to provide the assistance with monetary
funding during and for community organizations and
sponsorships.
B2. Course of Action
· In order to prevent from any violation of human resources
compliance, the company will adopt a policy that clearly
elaborates the requirements of all full-time employees,
minimum hours, and employee compensations. This will assist
with employee retention and recruitment.
· TechFite will have to implement a policy that fully executes
no bonus pay for any higher executives from company earnings,
which could lead to community growth as well as advancement
for its employees.
· TechFite will be mandated to attend and sponsor all
community events and youth programs that would benefit from
its support. A policy will be created to assure that this is in
compliance and that community involvement and engagement is
present.
B3. Course of Action: Explanation
· TechFite can provide an ethical responsibility assuring that
human resources compliance is met by securing the status of all
full-time status employees and their benefits, based on their
policy. This will aid in the ethical commitment of the company
towards its employees.
· A social responsibility TechFite can provide is utilizing
earnings to develop better resources for its current employees
and the community rather than using the money as bonuses for
higher executives.
7. name, company or university
affiliation, and email address.
Derek still hated the idea; it was just too risky to let 200 offices
and subsidiaries around the world call
the shots without permission or approval on major decisions
from headquarters in Eindhoven. But
Rogier thought it was the key to boosting engagement and
performance, and he had hinted that he
might use Contect’s 2017 annual all-employee meeting—his
chance to announce new goals and
celebrate the previous year’s accomplishments—to roll out the
change.
Instead, to Derek’s relief, he’d stuck to the traditional rallying
cry: “We’ve had double-digit growth
again. Our revenue is up by 14%, EBITA by 12%, and order
intake by 13%. Our performance has
exceeded all shareholder expectations. We could never have
achieved it without all of you!
Remember: No matter how large Contect gets, it will stay agile
and motivated. Thank you. And here’s
to an even better 2017!”
Rogier handed the microphone over to Henning Haas, the CEO
of Contect’s Germany group, and
came backstage where Derek was waiting. “That seemed to go
well,” he said. He and Derek could
hear people still clapping and cheering in the auditorium. “Of
course,” he added, “I think the
applause would be even louder if I’d talked about the holacracy
initiative.” His tone was teasing, but
with a serious edge.
“You were right to hold off,” Derek said.
9. too much power.
Although Contect had launched as a specialist in small but
steady installation jobs with high margins
and low risk, it was now a full-service construction company
that did design, construction, lighting,
ventilation, water, waste processing, and IT infrastructure for
much bigger, more complex projects.
Rogier’s strategy since 2000 had been to grow through
acquisitions and to give a long leash to all the
businesses he’d bought. The smaller ones could keep their own
names, leadership teams, practices,
and policies for the first five years. And although senior
managers’ remuneration was tied to
Contect’s overall sales and operating profits, the head office
had relatively little control over the
30,000 projects the company had underway at any given time.
Rogier liked this system for three reasons: It freed him from
having to manage all the disparate
businesses, so he could focus on additional acquisitions. He felt
it wouldn’t be cost-effective to add
more controls at the group level. And he thought independence
was a great motivator. “I’m an
entrepreneur through and through,” he would say. “I want my
company to be just as
entrepreneurial.”
Derek understood all those points, but he still thought Contect
was too lax. Inconsistent policies put
the company at greater risk of lawsuits. The lack of control
meant that the leadership team had little
say in how the Contect brand was being managed at a local
level. And without centralized oversight
of projects, any single subsidiary’s missteps risked taking down
the entire company. Rogier knew
11. Just after Vera had joined Contect’s board, the company had
been hit by a huge scandal. The project
—Park 007—was a James Bond–themed amusement park with
artificial ski slopes, cliffs for bungee
jumping, roller-coaster rides, indoor water sports, casinos,
cinemas, and two five-star hotels. The
Russia office had contracted to build it but hadn’t done so. For
two years the subsidiary had recorded
revenue from the proposed €650 million mega-resort. Contect’s
head office had discovered the fraud
only after someone anonymously sent Rogier thumb drive
containing a Russian news report that the
park was still barren land, despite what the Russia office’s
books said. Everyone involved had been
fired, but cleaning up the firm’s reputation in Russia and in
Europe had not been easy.
Vera had led the subsequent charge to strengthen the internal
audit system. After Derek joined,
they’d worked together on further risk management—
establishing a central division to set policy,
ensure compliance, and evaluate projects worth €100 million or
more and creating an executive
council of market and industry experts to advise on budgets and
other strategic issues.
Now Vera was getting worked up. “He’s calling it ‘holacracy,’”
she said, “but that’s still just
decentralizing, which we can’t do any further. We have to take
back control at the top—not give the
subsidiaries more power. Rogier has set some ambitious growth
goals this year, and without
oversight I’m worried they’ll incentivize the wrong behaviors.
Does he really want us to roll back all
the work we’ve done and give the groups free rein? Why
haven’t you been tougher with him on this?
12. Is it your personal relationship? Please don’t let that cloud your
judgment as CFO. You need to tell
him that from a risk perspective, full decentralization is out of
the question.”
Henning Weighs In
Derek couldn’t stop thinking about Vera’s admonition, but he
tried his best to focus on the earnings
report he needed to finish. Unfortunately, just before lunch,
Henning Haas knocked on his door.
“I thought you’d be on your way back to Frankfurt already,”
Derek said.
“I’m leaving tomorrow. I wanted to see a few people first—
including you.”
Derek knew that this would be yet another conversation about
decentralization. Henning was a big
proponent of greater freedom for the groups, and as leader of
the company’s largest country group,
he held a lot of sway with Rogier and the board.
“You’ve always been very careful around risk, and we
appreciate that, but this company won’t
continue to grow if we hinder it. The success you see in
Germany, France, the UK, even Central
Europe—it’s because we have increasing autonomy and
freedom.”
“And Russia?” Derek asked.
“You can’t punish us all because of one bad apple. Designing
policy around the lowest common
denominator is a bad strategy, and you know it.”
