Frank Ngoubene BMGT440 Prof. Kass 2/26/13 Teletech Case Summary Early January 1996, Teletech Corporation’s CEO Maxwell Harper was sent a letter by billionaire Victor Yossarian following the latter’s purchase of a 10 percent stake in Teletech. In this letter, Yossarian proclaimed that Teletech was not properly using its fund nor earning an adequate return, and that to remedy this problem, some changes had to be made.

1 A Rhetorical Analysis of “Online Goodies” The article “Online Goodies” written by John Lanchester and published by the “London Review of Books” in April of 2002, is a persuasive piece where Lanchester attempts to get his audience on the same page as him in regards to the illegal downloading of music files off the internet. He argues that the multi-billion dollar corporations that run the music industry's greed is to blame for most consumers having to resort to downloading music files off the internet for free. The audience Lanchester seems to be targeting is the younger generation of the early 2000's, the tech savvy young adults that were on top of all the internet advances of the time. In the article, Lanchester uses many rhetorical devices and appeals, such as informal language, humour, logos appeals, and the overall tone of the piece to persuade his audience into adopt his opinion on the music industry's affect on illegal downloads. While most writers try to use formal language to persuade their audience to adopt their opinions, Lanchester took a different approach.
Pamela Kipe Mr. Harris AP Language & Composition November 21, 2014 Rhetorical Analysis Portfolio Project - Frank Rich 9/11 Reflection Year after year when 9/11 comes around, Americans demonstrate their love for their country in patriotic lengths. Flags at half-staff, hundreds flocking to the symbiotic Ground Zero, where just thirteen years ago stood the roaring World Trade Towers, the monetary heart of New York City. Frank Rich proclaims his proposition, in an essay in New York Magazine, on how the attacks on 9/11 did not unify our country, despite the fact that that was supposedly former President George Bush’s objective, but rather ripped us apart. Rich’s use of a formal yet sarcastic tone accompanied with his diction and verifiable facts he gathered demonstrates just how 9/11 did not bring us together as a nation. “National unity proved to be short-lived,” is right.

HEADING INTO THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2003, JEFF BEZOS, FOUNDER AND CEO OF Amazon.com, could look back over the last couple sets of quarterly numbers for Amazon.com and be proud.

Harold Holmes, the new banker in charge of the Reed account requests to see company books and after examining what Reed presented, decided to deny the increase in the Reed credit line. Additionally, Reed owes the bank in excess of $100,000 which Holmes has requested payment within 30 days. Holmes suggested changes Reed could make to make his business profitable again and be able to stay on top of debt. These changes included hiring a consultant to overlook the financial and inventory aspects of the business, and reducing inventory and account receivables to the industry average. Upon reviewing the balancer sheet, Holmes suggested accounts receivable being considerably reduced, since this was an area which was controllable.
In a copyright lawsuit that settled outside of court, the question still haunts the cares of the world’s copyright geeks. Who would’ve won in the court of law? On December 4th 2008 a lawsuit was filed against British band Coldplay by guitar rock hero, Joe Satriani, who claimed that “substantial original portions” from his 2004 rock instrumental, If I Could Fly, had been stolen by Coldplay to create their 2008 hit song, Viva La Vida. Viva La Vida made the #1 spot on the US and UK’s music charts which was a first for the band, not to mention, won a Grammy Award for song of the year. If I Could Fly however never made anything and Satriani was seeking damages for “any and all profits”.

Nike Defeating Chinese Culture Intercultural awareness is something that the Nike Shoe Company has come to realize is very important when it comes to marketing their shoes.

Because of this, James had a responsibility to work hard for Nike. About a year after he was drafted, the Chinese government banned a commercial featuring James due to it offending “national dignity” (CBC News).
