Research the company on its own Website, the public filings on the Securities and Exchange Commission EDGAR database (http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml), in the University’s online databases, and any other sources you can find.

  • Apply the industrial organization model and the resource-based model to determine how your corporation could earn above-average returns.
  • Assess how the vision statement and mission statement of the corporation influence its overall success.

Discussion 1

“America in Vietnam”

The Vietnam War was a counterinsurgency that involved us in guerilla warfare that was similar, in some ways, to what we face in Afghanistan today. But the way the Vietnam War was conducted was considered to be immoral and unjust by many.

  • Describe the prevailing arguments of what constitutes a “just war,” and assess the justice of the Vietnam War in that context.
  • Speculate on how the world would be different today if the U.S. had not become involved in Vietnam. Looking forward to a great discussion! Let the sharing begin! Dave
