/in /by adminI’m working on a supply chain discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn. Perhaps the most famous case illustrating the enormous cost of win-ning back lost customers is that of the “Tylenol Murders.†Seven people in the Chicago area died suddenly after taking Tylenol cap-sules. An investigation revealed that the capsules had been laced with cyanide, a deadly poison. When the story ran on the nightly news programs, a nationwide panic ensued that caused Tylenol’s sales to plummet overnight. Many business analysts predicted that Tylenol’s manufacturer, Johnson & Johnson, would not survive the tragedy. Johnson & Johnson surprised the analysts by undertaking one of the most successful campaigns in history to win back customers. It worked, but the cost was huge. This case led not just Johnson & John-son but also all major drug manufacturers to develop the tamperproof bottle. Having done so, Johnson & Johnson undertook an intensive public relations campaign to win back the trust of its customers. Discussion Questions: 1. If the Tylenol incident were to happen today and you were a user of Tylenol, would Johnson & Johnson be able to win back your trust? 2. What would it take for Johnson & Johnson to win back your trust if one of the victims was a friend of yours?

/in /by adminExcel Homework 1. It is believed that stock prices and bond prices tend to move in different directions. The argument is that whenever demand for stocks is up (down), the money is shifted to (from) riskier stocks from (to) safer bonds, thus bringing bond prices down (up) and vice versa. We will check whether there exists significant evidence behind this theory. Find the Excel file HW4.xls in the Data folder on Blackboard. The Problem1 sheet in that file contains daily levels of the 10-year Treasury bond yield and the S&P 500 index. You are asked to compute the percentage of occasions separately for each month when the stock index and the 10-year Treasury bond price went in different directions. You solution must consist of the plot of the monthly percentages of such occasions on the Y axes, and the respective time periods on the X axis. 2. Find the Excel file HW4.xls in the Data folder on Blackboard. The Problem2 sheet in that file contains historical daily data for price and dividends on a bond fund. Construct a series of historical cumulative return without dividends, a series of historical cumulative return with dividends and a series of historical cumulative total return, i.e., when all dividends are automatically reinvested. Plot a chart showing all three constructed series.

/in /by adminI’m stuck on a Art question and need an explanation. In Pre-Renaissance times GUILDS controlled the creation of arts and crafts. Module TWO  touched on the role of ARTISANS in the service of an elite class who could afford to commission objects and crafts. After reading the content module two,  and doing your own independent research,  I’d like to know your views role of the craft guilds. In your opinion, do you think the GUILDS helped the growth of local economies, improve the lives of guild members and the social fabric of their communities by securing wages and contracts, or did GUILDS restrict innovation by imposing regulations and limiting competition? OK, Some things to consider when you try to frame your answer: What was the original purpose of the guilds? What was the job of an apprentice? What was the job of a journeyman? Why did the guilds want to control the price of goods? Prior to GUILDS,  Did artisans have any power,  were artisans just slaves in ancient times or valued master artists and craftsmen serving the elite monied class, priests and autocracies? Why did guilds wish to reduce or eliminate competition? Why did the guilds wish to standardize the quality of goods? In what ways were  GUILDS restrictive in regards to Who could be allowed into the GUILD?Â
