Week 3: World War II and the Holocaust (CO 11)

66 unread replies.66 replies.

11 Given repeated cases of genocide in the 20th century, such as the Nazi holocaust; Cambodia under Pol Pot; and ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, Rwanda, and others, analyze the roots of such behavior and explain how people can become involved in institutionalized, mass genocidal murder.

The following statement was taken from a contemporary account of Germany in 1939:

“Though the Fuhrer’s anti-Semitic program furnished the National Socialist party in the first instances with a nucleus and a rallying-cry, it was swept into office by two things with which the “Jewish Problem” did not have the slightest connection. On the one side was economic distress and the revulsion against Versailles: on the other, chicanery and intrigue…Hitler and his party promised the unhappy Germans a new heaven and a new earth, coupled with the persecution of the Jews. Unfortunately a new heaven and earth cannot be manufactured to order. But a persecution of the Jews can…”

How do you interpret this contemporary account of the persecution of people who are Jewish?

Logisitics/Supply Chain Mgmt. – Criteria to consider

/in /by

Deliverable
length: 500–600
words + references (minimum 2)

Primary
Task Response: Within
the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following
questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation
for future discussions with your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use
examples to reinforce your ideas.

In one of
your initial meetings with the chief executive officer (CEO), she asked you to
identify a number of the typical criteria used when making new location
decisions. Complete the following:

  1. Describe and list at least 8
    specific criteria to use.
  2. Explain the logic of why each
    criterion should be important.
  3. On a relative scale of importance,
    assign a high, medium, or low weight to each of the 8 criteria.

Do not
put all of this information into 1 paragraph; instead use 8 paragraphs, answering
all 3 questions for each of the 8 criteria in a separate paragraph. A chart
would also be acceptable.

Instructor Notes and
guidelines: (Please read it)

Please
note when doing this assignment that you respond to all three task list
questions for EACH of the 8 criteria you are listing and discussing here.

For example,

Criteria
# 1 = xxxxxxx

Logic for
selection = xxxxxxx

Level of
Importance = high, medium or low and why

Then move on to Criteria #2
and do the same as illustrated above.

Here
are a few examples of criteria that should be considered with location
decisions:

  1. How many distribution centers should the firm use and
    where should they be located?

For example, is your firm local, national or
international?  Generally speaking you
always want to locate your distribution centers “near” your customer base.

Why is this important?

  1. What customers or market areas should
    be serviced from each distribution center?

For example, IF you have several
distribution centers across the USA, which center serves which customers?

Would you allow any center to serve any
customer or divide the centers geographically?

  1. Which
    product lines should be produced or shipped at each plant or distribution
    center?

In other words, should each
distribution center carry only a few of our company’s products and other
centers carry the rest?

OR

Should each distribution center carry
the entire inventory of the company’s product lines?

  1. What
    logistics channels should be used to source material and serve
    international markets?

This refers to selling your products
overseas.  Would you have a dedicated
center that deals specifically with overseas markets? 

Do you have your product made overseas,
shipped to your distribution center in the USA, and then ship it back out to
overseas customers or does your overseas mfr. do it for you?

  1. What
    combination of public and private distribution facilities should be used?

In other words, do you own your
distribution centers OR outsource your center to others whom you pay to lease
their facilities? 

While it might seem odd to outsource
your distribution centers to others, you as a company would save the costs of
having your own employees, paying benefits, etc.

  1. Proximity
    to your suppliers and customers

How close is your proposed facility to
the suppliers that you rely upon?

OR

How close is your facility to your
customers?

  1. Access
    to Infrastructure

Is the site of your proposed location
near highways, waterways, airports, etc.?

Are the roads leading to and from your
facility in good shape?

Clearly
these are just a few of the many criteria that needs to be considered when
discussing location decisions. 

Many more are available to you via
Internet searches.


For
each, be sure to list

  1. The criteria


The logic of its importance
Its’ relative importance (high,
medium, low) and WHY

    Include responses to the following questions in
    your analysis:

    • Is it “mid-life crisis” or “mid-life laziness” that this article

    • Match the facts of this case (poor growth by Wal-Mart, etc.) to the
      appropriate marketing management tasks. Can you see a relationship between
      Wal-Mart’s symptoms and how well marketing management performed its tasks? Why
      or why not?

    work before submitting it.

General Instructions for Case Studies

A case study is a short description of a real business situation. Analyzing case studies gives you the opportunity to apply those concepts to real business problems. Cases are generally written for several types of analysis. Usually, there is not a “right or wrong” answer. Rather, cases provide a vehicle for you to demonstrate your understanding and ability to apply course concepts. You must use appropriate sources (properly cited) to support your position. Check your analysis by assessing how well it demonstrates your subject knowledge. If your answer relies on your impressions of the topic prior to taking this course, it is likely that the analysis is not your best effort.

Simply answering the questions which are part of the case is not enough; consider the questions to be clues to the important concepts and facts. You are strongly encouraged to use the following outline so that your analysis is organized appropriately:

1.Identify both the key issues and the underlying issues. In identifying the issues, you should be able to connect them to the business principles which apply to this situation.

2.Discuss the facts which affect these issues. The case may have too much information. In your discussion, you should filter the information and discuss those facts which are pertinent to the issues identified above.

3.Discuss your tentative solution to the problem and how you would implement your solution. What actions would you propose to correct the situation, based on the knowledge you have gained in this course? Be sure to support your recommendation by citing references in the text and in the supplementary readings. You should also draw on other references such as business periodicals and relevant journals. Remember that an ANALYSIS is more than simply a SUMMARY of the Case Study.

4.Discuss follow-up and contingency plans. How will the organization know that your proposed solution is working? What should they do if it does not work?

It may be helpful for you to “role-play” this assignment. Your presentation should cover the points listed above. By “role-playing” the situation, using the questions at the end of the case as hints, and by using this guide, you should be able to develop an action-oriented analysis with a recommended course of action.

Your analysis of each case study should be a minimum of 4 pages and written in APA format.

Evaluation Criteria:

• Have you identified the critical issues/problems in the case and analyzed the key facts related to the issues/problems?

• Have you discussed a tentative solution that addresses the issues/problems and how you would implement your solution?

• Is information from the textbook and other sources integrated into your
