There are three goods produced in an economy by three individuals:
Good Producer
Hand Sanitizer Rabiatu
Face Mask Mariya
Veronica Bucket Zina   


If Rabiatu likes only face mask, Mariya likes only veronica buckets and Zina likes only hand sanitizer, will any trade take place between these three persons in barter economy? How will introducing money into the economy benefit these three persons

Study1: A team of cognitive psychologists conducted a study on the effects of sleep deprivation on short-term memory decay. Forty-eight participants stayed in a lab for two days. Twenty-four of the participants are randomly assigned to a condition in which they are not permitted to sleep during that period. The other twenty-four are allowed to sleep whenever they want. At the end of the two days, the participants complete a task that involves reading a list of 20 words, then recalling as many words as possible.

Study2: A researcher examined the effect of different kinds of music on general math ability. Forty-eight participants were randomly assigned to do a series of math tasks under one of three conditions: 16 while listening to soft gentle music, 16 while listening to loud intense music, and 16 while in silence. The math quiz contained arithmetic, geometry, and word problems. There were 25 items that were 2 points each.

Study3: A health psychologist conducted a study on the how the number of hours a person exercised each week relates to the number of days being sick per year. Participants were randomly selected from the community and provided self-reports through a series of questions on the topics of interest.

Study4: A study was designed to test the effects of science fiction movies on participants' belief in the supernatural. A scale was designed to measure the degree that a participant believes in the supernatural on a 1-7 Likert Scale (high scores indicate high levels of belief). Fifty-seven participants, selected via random digit dialing (RDD) responded to the scale before and after watching Return of the Jedi, a popular science fiction movie.

Study5: A researcher at a drug treatment center wanted to determine the best combination of treatments that would lead to more substance free days. This researcher believed there were two key factors in helping drug addiction: type of treatment and type of counseling. The researcher was interested in either residential or outpatient treatment programs and either cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, or client-centered counseling approaches. As new clients enrolled at the center they were randomly assigned to one of six experimental groups. After 3 months of treatment, each client’s symptoms were measured.

Study6: An organizational psychologist is hired as a consultant by a person planning to open a coffee house for college students. The coffee house owner wants to know if her customers will drink more coffee depending on the ambience of the coffee house. To test this, the psychologist sets up three similar rooms, each with its own theme (Tropical; Old Library; or New York Café ) then arranges to have thirty students spend an afternoon in each room while being allowed to drink all the coffee they like. (The order in which they sit in the rooms is counterbalanced.) The amount each participant drinks is recorded for each of the three themes.

Study7: A manager at a retail store in the mall wants to increase profit. The manager wants to see if the store’s layout (one main circular path vs. a grid system of paths) influences how much money is spent depending on whether there is a sale. The belief is that when there is a sale customers like a grid layout, while customers prefer a circular layout when there is no sale. Over two days the manager alternates the store layout, and has the same group of customers come each day. Based on random assignment, half of the customers are told there is a sale (20 % will be taken off the final purchases), while the other half is told there is no sale. At the end of each day, the manager calculates the profit.

Many studies have suggested that there is a link between exercise and healthy bones. Exercise stresses the bones and this causes them to get stronger. One study examined the effect of jumping on the bone density of growing rats. There were three treatments: a control with no jumping, a low-jump condition (the jump height was 30 centimeters), and a high-jump condition (60 centimeters). After 8 weeks of 10 jumps per day, 5 days per week, the bone density of the rats (expressed in mg/cm3 ) was measured. Here are the data. data379.dat (a) Make a table giving the sample size, mean, and standard deviation for each group of rats. Consider whether or not it is reasonable to pool the variances.

A. The relation appears to be linear.

B. The relation appears to be nonlinear.

​(f) For a​ 42-year-old male patient who visits the​ doctor's office, would using the​ least-squares regression line obtained in part​ (b) to predict the HDL cholesterol of this patient be​recommended?

If the null hypothesis was​ rejected, that means that this​least-squares regression line can accurately predict the HDL cholesterol of a patient. If the null hypothesis was not​ rejected, that means the​ least-squares regression line cannot accurately predict the HDL cholesterol of a patient.

Should this​ least-squares regression line be used to predict the​ patient's HDL​ cholesterol? Choose the correct answer below.

A. Yes, because the null hypothesis was rejected.

B. Yes, because the null hypothesis was not rejected.

C. ​No, because the null hypothesis was not rejected.

D. ​No, because the null hypothesis was rejected.

A good estimate for the HDL cholesterol of this patient is ? (Round to two decimal places as needed)

Refer to the scenario to answer the following question(s):
Unilever, the world’s second largest consumer goods company, received a jolt in 2004 when its stock price fell sharply after management had warned investors that profits would be lower than anticipated. Even though the company had been the first consumer goods company to enter the world’s emerging economies in Africa, China, India, and Latin America with a formidable range of products and local knowledge, its sales faltered when rivals began to attack its entrenched position in these markets. Procter & Gamble’s (P&G) acquisition of Gillette had greatly bolstered P&G’s growing portfolio of global brands and allowed it to undermine Unilever’s global market share. For example, when P&G targeted India for a sales initiative in 2003–04, profit margins fell at Unilever’s Indian subsidiary from 20% to 13%.
An in-depth review of Unilever’s brands revealed that its brands were doing as well as were those of its rivals. Something else was wrong. According to Richard Rivers, Unilever’s head of corporate strategy, “We were just not executing as well as we should have.”
Unilever’s management realized that it had no choice but to make-over the company from top to bottom. Over decades of operating in almost every country in the world, the company had become fat with unnecessary bureaucracy and complexity. Unilever’s traditional emphasis on the autonomy of its country managers had led to a lack of synergy and a duplication of corporate structures. Country managers had been making strategic decisions without regard for their effect on other regions or on the corporation as a whole.
Starting at the top, two joint chairmen were replaced by one sole chief executive. In China, three companies with three chief executives were replaced by one company with one person in charge. Overall staff was cut from 223,000 in 2004 to 179,000 in 2008. By 2010, management planned close to 50 of its 300 factories and to eliminate 75 of 100 regional centers. Twenty thousand more jobs were selected to be eliminated over a four-year period. Ralph Kugler, manager of Unilever’s home and personal care division, exhibited confidence that after these changes, the company was better prepared to face competition. “We are much better organized now to defend ourselves,” he stated.

Questions:
1. What was the triggering event(s) in the case of Unilever? Elaborate.
2. Conduct the environmental scanning of Unilever through SWOT analysis,
emphasizing on the factors that were changed based on the management decisions.
3. Which Mintzberg’s mode of strategic decision making is adopted in the case of Unilever? Elaborate.
4. Discuss any 2 strategies used or might be used in the case. Elaborate.
