Two Arguments against government/public ownership 1. Competition would give competing utilities an incentive to improve service as the consumer would have a choice. 2. If utilities were competitive there would be no danger of regulators not being fair when setting rates and allowing for licenses as there would be no monopoly for them to control. The company at hat served the public best would be favored in a competitive situation C. My opinion is that there should be a balance between competition and government involvement.
Therefore, he would likely think that Plato’s ideology is too optimistic, if not ignorant, and that one must have a realist viewpoint to survive this world. Machiavelli’s “The Prince” directs rulers to be practical and do basically anything to stay in power, even if it requires being evil. He would reject Plato’s opinions regarding rulers, since Plato believed that rulers must “ascend until they arrive at the good” (55) and “the State in which the rulers are most reluctant to govern is always the best and most quietly governed, and in the State in which they are most eager, the worst” (61). Plato's views directly contrast to Machiavelli’s views on the ruler, which is that the best and most effective ruler is one that does everything possible to maintain the power in which he holds. He is only worried about the attainable future and ideals, while Plato is more focused about the enlightenment of man, and the understanding of knowledge.
MBA 667: Leaders on Leadership (Fall 2012) Book Review Blue Ocean Strategy: How to create uncontested market space and make the competition irrelevant. By W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne Blue Ocean Strategy is about creating new markets which make competition irreverent. Kim and Mauborgne present the argument that in order for a company to break-out from the competition and sustain success, they must redefine the boundaries of the market and create their own “blue ocean.” In this newly formed blue area without the “bloody” competition in the red ocean, the innovative company can now capture new demand and reap success. The authors have created a very clever metaphor which ensures the readers want to be in the nice, clean, shimmering, blue ocean vice the “bloody” red ocean. There are six principles of the blue ocean strategy: (1) Reconstruct market boundaries, (2) Focus on the big picture, not the numbers, (3) Reach beyond existing demand, (4) Get the strategic sequence right, (5) Overcome key organizational hurdles, and (6) Build execution into strategy.
2. The second most important issue that needs to be resolved is the lack of a SWOT analysis in order to develop a strategic plan. A SWOT analysis is done so that a company can identify what its Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats are. By CanGo conducting this analysis, it can identify what strengths it has and what opportunities it is ready to exploit. This analysis can also point out weaknesses in the business and show what type of business opportunities it should avoid.
In this particular case, Murray does a great job sharing personal experiences upon his argument of whether there should be more vocational schools and stop using a college degree as a requirement for jobs, but stands defenseless due to the omission of statistics where only one statistic stands to defend his position. In Anglesey’s article “How Can I Incorporate Evidence into My Paper” she states that “[one needs] the author’s expertise to solidify [their] claim” which Murray does not do successfully in his paper, which ultimately weakens the evidence Murray can provide to specify his opposition and argument. Moreover, the type of evidence Murray could have recognized to portray a logical standpoint would have been to include facts of pursing high educational degrees and comparing them to those individuals searching for jobs without an efficient education. Also, including data of how past and present years have on individuals with the qualifications of education end of pursing high paying jobs. Murray could have went in so many directions rather than just providing one fact and relying on the rest of his essay on personal
Because of the lack of passion, the middle or center most position will never garner the enthusiasm that fuels the fiery rhetoric and mass protests that the more polar positions wield. But I believe that by far, the most productive and sustainable legislation and business practices always come from the center. Therefore it is my recommendation that the public at large look at the lessons of the past and see that neither a pro-business nor a pro-regulatory climate is the most beneficial one. I believe that the best answer, the best solution, the most sustainable outcome will be the one closest to the center.

The disadvantages are the fact that The Ratio Group looses the tight control for realizing experience curve and location economies. A licensing agreement is good, but still it has some weaknesses. Raisio is completely dependent on McNeil’s commitment to Benecol and the success of the McNeil’s market strategy. McNeil was not interested in launching Benecol globally in a big scale, and the Raisio group’s vision was to become a leading international life science oriented chemical company. This means; they have different opinions on expanding and different visions/interests.
In consideration of the issue, the conflict of interest arises between the wish of the customers to use an application without advertising and the wish of businesses to have an opportunity to use the messenger for their marketing needs and sending advertisements. According to some considerations, the conflict of interests might appear useful for the company. However, in most cases, the conflict of interest “undermines trust” and ultimately tends to reduce the revenue (Lawrence & Weber 101). Nevertheless, with reference to the rights method of ethical reasoning and the identification of the right for privacy as the core human right, privacy of the users should be a primary concern of WhatsApp managers. Besides, identification of the right to privacy as the fundamental human rights supported by both international and national law systems, keeping privacy is the primary task of the company (Rotenberg).
