This week’s reading is the famous (at least among entrepreneurial academics) theorem called PORTER’S 5 FORCES MODEL. Consider the 5 forces as described in the reading. Let’s go back to the example of general Mills that we discussed in class. Remember how they charted a course into a new sector of the food industry? If you were one of the founders of General Mills for example, how would you have assessed these 5 forces as you staked out your market niche? In your response, please describe your assessment of each of these 5 forces. On a scale of High/Medium/Low, rate each of these risks as viewed by the founding entrepreneurs. In other words, how would you rate these 5 forces is you were a Generall Mills owner? No need to go more than 1 page.

Understanding both internal and external factors that can affect one’s business is crucial in order for companies, not only to increase profitability but also to ensure survivability. Accordingly, Porter’s Five Forces Model is one of the most commonly used paradigms in understanding this relationship and create better decisions in running their business. One way to understand how this model works is by looking at the case of General Mills and its rise within the food industry.
If I was the founder of this company, I would have prioritized (1) competitive rivalry, (2) Buyer power, and (3) Threat of Substitution since they equally present the highest risks among the five forces (Porter, 2008). Being generally smaller than other companies such as Kraft, Nestle, Mondelez International, etc. founders of General Mills has to assess how can they compete with the biggest firms in the world as well as how to increase their consumer base despite the ‘consumer loyalty’ developed by these other brands. In addition to these, the founders would also have to deal with the possibility that these big brands could also produce what they would offer at a much lower price due to their better production facilities, networks, and distribution channels.

Instructions: It is a well-known fact that people need to exercise to prevent being afflicted with diseases, especially those that are caused by unhealthy lifestyle. However, keeping an exercise routine for a college student is easily said than done. On the one hand, this is due to the number of academic requirements that we have to do every day. On the other hand, this is also due to the social life and other extra-curricular activities that consume most of our idle time. In other words, while exercising is noted in the calendars of most college students, this usually gets relegated when there is any spare time after everything else. However, what I realized lately was that exercising need not be done and scheduled as a whole day activity per week. Instead, I saw some videos saying that by doing small but continuous physical efforts every day (e.g., walking to school instead of riding the bus) one can experience the benefits of a one-time-per-week routine that others are doing. About this, I also realized that this kind of method could also be done in other aspects of life such as dieting by changing parts of what you eat little by little and not in one fell sweep. In fact, for four weeks now I make sure to walk going to school and other places and reduce the number of calories that I eat by changing portions of my meals to fruits. While the results might not be that good as having a strenuous workout routine, I believe that this is doing me well given that I have a very tight schedule. All in all, I think that by doing things little by little, I could then convince myself to increase the strenuousness of my activities little by little. 1 page / approx 275 words | Essay | Health, Medicine, & Nursing | High School | Other |

Policy Brief
Infectious Diseases, Tuberculosis in India
From: Secretary of Health, India
To: Minister of Finance, India
Introduction:
400,000 Indians die each year from TB. It is the leading cause of death in the ages 15-45 and has the greatest affect on the poverty stricken regions. Several risk factors for TB are HIV, lack of knowledge, urban congestion and pollution, barriers in health care, and cultural differences. TB causes large economic losses, financial burdens to poor families, losses in education, and even familial rejection of infected women. To address TB we must promote DOT in the poorest sectors to improve knowledge and treatment, ensure efficient technology for diagnosis, and target HIV prevalent areas for proper treatment for co-infected patients. 2 pages / approx 550 words | APA | English (US) 🇺🇸 | Health, Medicine, & Nursing | Research Paper | Undergraduate |

Classification using cladograms worksheet (10 pts)You will turn in this worksheet. ________________________________________This section is designed as an easy points getter : )The path the course is now taking is to identify traits/characteristics and to think about how those traits have affected the species in question. For example, we have reviewed a bit about the changes in the skeletons of humans and other species. In those things we have noted skeletons have changed in a sequence overtime in that;● Human types have special adaptations which allow and require a two legged walk, aka facultative bipedalism.● There are isolation forces, geographic isolation, which can produce changes in animal types based on the ecosystem. For example,Foster’s Rule.● That variation of species is measurable as noted by Darwin’s Finches.Here in this section, there is a short lesson which gets the student acquainted with the process of biological classification. This is a small and simple lesson to give the idea of distinct traits, and mosaic species. This process can start with some basic assumptions, scientific ones, that things potentially get more complex as they change. It is important to note that a species can become simpler to survive but it also noted that some things become more complex. That being said we will start with the assumption that; things potentially get more complex as they change. Simpler is then older and more complex is newer.
Note in following species, Andersenii aquaticus, is about first, the identification of the simply described simplest form of the organism, noted by the membranes (borders) and nothing else distinctive (Table1, Key concept 1.)
This lesson assesses Mendel’s first law of: segregation. That is that offspring inherit their traits from parents. Therefore, related species had to get their traits from ones that existed before.
It assesses evolutionary theory in showing that organisms tend towards complexity but at time entropy happens and things leave the family line.
It shows the theory of phylogenetics ( gene types) and shows the relation in arbitrary time on the cladogram. 1 page / approx 275 words | Biological & Biomedical Sciences | English (US) 🇺🇸 | Essay | Other | Undergraduate |

Instructions: It’s a concert report and here is the requirement:
“The objective of this paper is to connect what you hear during the concert to the content of the course and your own personal/cultural experiences, and to also attempt to express in words your general reaction to the music. You may describe how the music “made you feel,” but always follow up that statement with why you believe the music made you feel that way. In a similar vein, stay away from subjective comments concerning whether you liked or disliked the music, and instead use the information we’ve discussed during the course to make informed statement about the music itself.
You are also encouraged to take notes during the performances if possible (only with pen and paper, absolutely not with a laptop) and, more importantly, research the pieces being performed before you attend the concert. You can then ask yourself, among other questions, are the pieces being performed indicative of the time period in which they were composed? A piece composed in the 1700’s probably won’t have the same aural properties as a piece composed in 2018. Why is that? The most important thing to do during a concert is to ask the question: why? If the chorus of a song gets you really excited, or if the slow movement of a sonata “sounds” morose, try to identify what it is about the collection of sounds that works or doesn’t work using the information we’ve learned in class. Sometimes you may be able to identify the exact reasons a passage has certain aural properties, but sometimes you won’t, in which case you should either try to make an educated
guess as to what the music is “doing,” or try to make an educated guess on why you perceive the piece a certain way.”
Try to use some music vocabulary in this report, like “dynamic”, “Tempo”, “Major key or minor key” 1 page / approx 275 words | APA | English (US) 🇺🇸 | Other (not listed) | Undergraduate | Visual & Performing Arts |
