Strategic Fit and Diversification in Related Businesses Read the overview below and complete the activities that follow. The purpose of diversification is to build shareholder value. Diversification builds shareholder value when a diversified group of businesses can perform better under the auspices of a single corporate parent than they would as independent, stand-alone businesses. The goal is to achieve not just a 1 + 1 = 2 result, but rather to realize important 1 + 1 = 3 performance benefits. Whether getting into a new business has the potential to enhance shareholder value hinges on whether a company’s entry into that business can pass the attractiveness test, the cost-of-entry test, and the better-off test. Entry into new businesses can take any of three forms: acquisition, internal start-up, or joint venture. The choice of which is best depends on: the firm’s resources and capabilities, the industry’s entry barriers, the importance of speed, and the relative costs. There are two fundamental approaches to diversification: into related businesses and into unrelated businesses. The rationale for related diversification is to benefit from strategic fit: Diversify into businesses with matchups along their respective value chains, and then capitalize on the strategic fit by sharing or transferring the resources and capabilities across matching value chain activities to gain competitive advantage. Unrelated diversification strategies surrender the competitive advantage potential of strategic fit at the value chain level in return for the potential that can be realized from superior corporate parenting or the sharing and transfer of generalized resources and capabilities. An outstanding corporate parent can benefit its businesses through (1) providing high-level oversight and making available other corporate resources, (2) allocating financial resources across the business portfolio, and (3) restructuring underperforming acquisitions. Case: See if you can identify the value chain relationships that make the businesses of the following companies related in competitively relevant ways. In particular, you should consider whether there are cross-business opportunities for (1) transferring skills and technology, (2) combining related value chain activities to achieve economies of scope, and/or (3) leveraging the use of a well-respected brand name or other resources that enhance differentiation.

An LC circuit like that in the figure below consists of a 3.30-H inductor and an 832-pF capacitor that initially carries a 134-μC charge. The switch is open for t < 0 and is then thrown closed at t = 0. Compute the following quantities at t = 5.00 ms. (a) the energy stored in the capacitor (b) the total energy in the circuit (c) the energy stored in the inductor

The blood speed in a normal segment of a horizontal artery is 0.184 m/s. An abnormal segment of the artery is narrowed down by an arteriosclerotic plaque to 1/3 of its normal cross-sectional area. What is the difference in blood pressure between the normal and constricted segments of the artery?

You have been examining the books of a new client. Included on their previously unaudited financial statements was a balance of $299,032 for a long-term Patent as of 12/31/2017. When examining the ledger, you found these entries:

• An “acquisition” entry of $274,982:
• Legal costs incurred in the preparation of the application for the patent: $6,450 during 2016
• Leal costs incurred in successfully defending the validity of the patent: $17,600 during 2017

• There have been no amortization expenses reported for the patent. There were no other entries to the account during 2018.

  In discussions with the president of the firm, you learned that this patent was developed by an employee specifically hired to work on the development of the president’s initial concept for the product. After 3 years of work, the patent was granted at the end of 2016. The patented product has resulted in a 50% increase in sales from 12/31/2016 to 12/31/2018. The president expects the product to continue being very marketable over the company’s 3 year strategic plan from 2018 through 2020.

  Instructions: As the outside auditor for the company, prepare a memo as of 12/31/2018 to the president of the company discussing:

• The GAAP rules governing the accounting of patents, using appropriate citations from the codification. (Provide the appropriate references to the FASB Codification. Do NOT copy and paste the codification sections.)
• The previous mistakes in accounting for the patent. Suggest correcting journal entries, if appropriate.

Once the strategies are in place, employees must support the strategies. Discuss the critical soft skills for success in global roles. What are the methods for acquiring employees with those “soft skills?

Please explain the archaeological record of "man the hunter," as we understand it; including the adaptation to life using bipedalism (defining it), the sexual division of labor (and why it occurred). Please explain two types of bias that feminist anthropologists identified in the "Man the Hunter" theory of human evolution: ethnocentrism and androcentrism. Define these terms and explain why and how they are biased. How can these biases provide an inaccurate picture of the diversity of gender roles and relations in various prehistorical societies? However, if we concentrate on "Woman the Gatherer," would we experience similar problems as we did in concentrating on solely "Man the Hunter?" Explain what is meant by this.

My question is little bit philosophical. I would like to explain my ideas with a 2 dimensional universe model.

If we had lived in 2 dimensional universe like a plane, What could we observe when seeing a 3d object?

For example: If a square pyramid that is inside full of material comes to the plane universe in right angle, what could the people who live in 2d universe observe? Firstly, we could see small square and slowly it would enlarge and then it would dissappear suddenly. If the scientists who live in the 2d universe observed such event , All scientists could get shocked and they could check their physics formulas because energy is not conversed in that event. They had believed that Energy is conserved and nobody could create energy from nothing and finally they could understand that total observed universe energy can be much more what they calculated with their formulas.

My questions:

What could we see a 4d pyramid comes to our 3d universe? is it correct that Firstly we would see small cube and it would enlarge and then suddenly disappears?

Dark matter and Dark energy is related with such ideas? http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/universe/uni_matter.html

I know we do not observe such strange events till now but maybe scientists can get some results during micro experiments. Is there any such experimental results at least in micro universe (atomic level experiments in quantum mechanics)?
