1The De Beers group, which maintained a monopoly on the global diamond trade since the early 20th century, had to change its business model by the turn of the 21st century. It adopted the 'Supplier of Choice' program as a response to several allegations of unethical business practices, the issue of conflict diamonds in Africa and the antitrust suits filed against it in the US and the UK. De Beers consciously transformed itself from being a controller to stimulator of global diamond business. However, it faces stiff competition from a number of competitors, prominent among them being Lev Leviev, who pioneered the concept of vertical integration in the diamond trade and has robbed De Beers of many lucrative deals.

Pedagogical Objective:

To understand how the global diamond industry used to run through a cartel in most part of the 20th century

To describe the competitive landscape of the global diamond industry in the 21st century

To analyse the business transformation at De Beers and its impact on the company and the global diamond trade as a whole.adag

"It's not necessarily what you learn in an MBA program, but where you learn it." This type of bias has the potential to undermine hiring decisions. What truth is there to it and how can this bias be countered in a hiring process?

In an opinion survey, a random sample of 1000 adults from the U.S.A. and 1000 adults from Germany were asked whether they supported the death penalty. 560 American adults and 590 German adults indicated that they supported the death penalty. Researcher wants to know if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of adults who support the deal penally in the US is different than that in Germany. Use a confidence interval (at confidence interval of 98%) to answer. (Use USA-Germany)

1. Read this file one time to determine how many records it contains. Be sure to check for a successful file open here.
2. Close the file.
3. Allocate memory dynamically to store the data from step 1. This dynamically allocated memory should be for an array of strings. The array size should be exactly the number of records from step 1.
4. Reopen the file and read it a second time, storing each record into the array of strings from step 3.
5. Print the first and last element in the array.
6. Release the allocated memory.

four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new
nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are
created equal
now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whether that nation or any nation
so conceived and so dedicated can long endure we are met on a great battlefield of
that war we have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place
for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live it is altogether fitting
and proper that we should do this
but in a larger sense we can not dedicate we can not consecrate we can not
hallow this ground the brave men living and dead who struggled here have
consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract the world will little
note nor long remember what we say here but it can never forget what they did
here it is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which
they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced it is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of
devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain
that this nation under god shall have a new birth of freedom and that
government of the people by the people for the people shall not perish from the
earth

Dr. Micheal Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, in an interview with Chuck Todd on Sunday May 10, claimed that some COVID-19 tests have 50% false positives. Assuming that the same test has 2% false negatives, calculate

(a) Probability that a person who tested positive is really infected with COVID-19 virus.

(b) Probability that a person who tested negative is not sick.

As of today, there are 1.37 million confirmed COVID-19 cases. Population of the United States is about 330 million.
