The hiring of part time workers was a strategy used by UPS to keep down labor cost. Young adults were eager for the opportunity to work off hour shifts earning union wages and benefits. The high number of part time jobs and low number of full time positions there was little opportunity for job advancement. Wages could be kept low because of the high demand among young adults for this type of work. This one business strategy resulted in eight months of failed negotiations that resulted in a 15 day strike.
She transferred from the Greenville, South Carolina plant when it closed in 2006 and had over 10 years of experience with Treadway Tire Company. Ashley had a huge challenge in her new position; she needed to figure out why the Lima plant had a huge foremen turnover rate. After meeting with the plant’s manager, she was informed out of 50 foremen, nearly 50% had left the company in 2007. There was a serious morale issue with foreman and it seemed their discontent was spreading throughout the plant. The high turnover was another large cost for the company which was already dealing with the rising cost of its raw material.
Daniel Burnham had created some of America’s most famous structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in D.C.; his next task was to recreate a desolate Chicago to a revolutionized city of hope, by creating the famous Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 (also known as The World’s Columbian Exposition). This became a revelation for it attracted millions but also a devious and disturbing killing spree for Henry Holmes. It was during the 1890’s that Chicago had become America’s second populous city, due to the shift from an agricultural to an industrial society, drawing hundreds of thousands of foreign immigrants and rural dwellers to the city in search of work and a better lifestyle. Chicago wanted to prove to the world that the US was dominant in cultural, military and political force to the world by building the Chicago World’s Fair in response to the tall Eiffel Tower centered at the 1889 Paris World’s Fair. What better way to host a fair while celebrating the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s discovery of America.

Ever “since Edwin Sutherland first used the term in his 1939 presidential address to the American Sociological society, white collar crime has been a focus of controversy” (Coleman,1989, p.2). Many people believe that although white collar crimes may be costly, they are nevertheless nonviolent and do not pose a direct threat to society. “Street crime is an important social concern, but our attention has become so fixated upon it that we often ignore white collar crimes that are both more costly and more dangerous to society” ( Coleman, 1989, p.1). White collar crime has become an epidemic because of newer methods of reaching victims in what is called the “information age”. In fact, “the advent of the computer, for example, gives large numbers of people access to the documents and transactions that are so much a part of white collar illegalities” (Chayet, Waring, & Weisburd, 2001, p.11).
Both stories “The Final Problem” and “The Empty House” by Conan Doyle are considered very popular, because of the contradiction of whether Doyle should have brought Sherlock Holmes back or not. “The Final Problem” starts off with Sherlock Holmes explaining to Watson that he has been tracking down the most powerful criminal and is ready to catch him and get him arrested. The story goes on by Watson getting tricked into thinking that there was a lady needing a doctor’s help, but instead it was a scam to get him to leave the sight where Holmes was. When he realizes that this was all a trick, he runs back to where Holmes and Moriarty, Holmes arch enemy, were going to fight, but then tells the reader Holmes has died along with Moriarty. Because Doyle thought he had ended his series with “The Final Problem,” he had to find a very clever way to bring Holmes back when his readers demanded it.
I’ve read numerous stories about big companies like Wall-Mart treating their employees unfairly, for example on black Friday they made their employees come into work at 12:00 am Thanksgiving night. The reason they did this is so they could make more money, because they knew people would be shopping on Black Friday. However, Ben & Jerry’s proved that big companies can be very profitable and by being ethical they helped out a lot of people. Then when they joined up with Greyston Bakery they could make a lot more flavors and also helped Greyston Bakery with their business and that created more jobs at the bakery. This business strategy worked very well for these companies, however that’s not always the case for all businesses.
(97), keeps the readers comfortable that he is on to something. There is a nice progression in this case and the way this detective managed to find the evidence, rather than have them given to him. Holmes used the evidence he found and made smart accusations that the police would not have been able to create. He found the horse and foot
