    Rotary Cove

    Dexter Holman October 16, 2011 CBAD 478 Rotary Cove Beach: Practice Case Analysis Rotary Cove Beach, of Goderich, Ontario, is troubled due to not having direct revenue streams, which in turn causes the beach to lose money on a yearly basis. The YMCA acquired the Cove’s operations in 2003. More recent, the Goderich Town Council gave a $20,000 donation for operations, but the unprofitability of the Cove has caused the Council to reevaluate whether they should spend taxpayers money on a tanking beach. The branch manager, for the area YMCA, was forced into a mandating of a $370,000 net loss allowance. This mandate resulted in the YMCA trying to come up with ways the Cove could become profitable based on its’ present situation. Internally, there is much positive strength the company can build off of. I have found that the beach is very nice, which would bring tourists and locals for scenery reasons. The beach is also a low cost option for tourists coming on vacation. The trained staff is often accredited for the beach’s high safety regards which make the beach more family friendly. The beach also differentiates itself from other beach by allowing for equipment rental, creating a slightly different product to beachgoers. Along with these and a value committed approach the company can leverage these strengths to make the profitability problem go away in years to come. Also there are things internally that are considered weaknesses. The main weakness the company possesses is the unprofitability of operations. This lack of profit is most attributed to not having a beach that is vertically integrated. No vertical integration means that outside of beach activities the Cove has no influence on where money is spent. This lack of profit has also created a crutch system on the community to cover this gap in revenue and costs. When any entity relies almost solely on someone or group, they hold the risk of being affected by that other group’s emotions and feelings, which makes the…

    Cathedral

    “People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone” (Audrey Hepburn). Hepburn’s quote in terms of this short story depicts the relationship between the narrator’s wife, narrator, and Robert. The narrator has a rebirth of his own personality after he meets Robert. At first, the husband seems to lack sensitivity, and at times is egotistic. As the story progresses, the narrators attitude changes and is redeemed at the end of the story. In Raymond Carver's "Cathedral", even though Robert is physically blind, it is really the narrator who cannot see clearly about relationships; however, the husband finds redemption in regards to putting himself into the blinds man’s shoes.…

    Ethiopian artist Julie Mehretu was born in 1970 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She lives and works in New York, she operates with abstract detail in her large-scale paintings to create an architectural sense of perspective. One of her most notable piece, Stadia ll, created in 2004. The piece helped me visualize how there are different mass show two dimensions of history and how is can all be hidden in different forms at times. Her experimentation with abstraction explores the origins of lines, shapes, motion, and depth. With her layering, style, sense of chaos, patterns, and architectural methods, Mehretu’s work can be understood to explain through visual means that equates to time and movement.…

    House of Wisdom

    Put simply what Lyons presents to the reader, is that the West has an obligation to remember and acknowledge that we are indebted to the learning and developments that the Arabs shared with the world. After the fall of Rome, Europe entered a dark period where learning and science were forgotten. Most Europeans were illiterate and eked out their existence on small patches of land. While Europe languished in religious paranoia, and suffered at the hands of church doctrine, the Islamic world was conquering lands from Persia to Spain. Building not only great cities and palaces but also libraries and centers of learning.…

    Kingscourt

    Kingscourt

    Lord Kingscourt is firstly introduced to us in chapter 2. Our first encounter and impression of Lord Kingscourt is that he is a man of very high class, we know this as he is firstly introduced by statement ‘The Right Honourable Thomas David Nelson, the noble Lord Kingscourt, the Viscount of Roundstone, the ninth Earl of Cashel, Kilkerrin and Carna.’ From looking at the following statement and how he is firstly put across to us we already know that Lord Kingscourt in a man that holds a lot of responsibilities and is held in very high regard. When Lord Kingscourt was in the dinning saloon we know that a negro man holding an overload of charged champagne flutes stumbles near the doorway. When this happened an ironic slow-handclap started then numerous voices sitting around the table started to shout “Huazzah! Bravo! Well done, that fellow” “They’ll have to put up the fares!”. This is showing us the perception and respect the negro’s got from the higher class people during the Great Famine. On the other hand Lord Kingscourt who was looked up at by the higher class people during the Great Famine refused to insult the negro man, said to him “Mind your hand, here!” as he handed him a clean linen handkerchief. This is already indicating to us as readers that Lord Kingscourt does not see himself as better than anyone else. He is showing sympathy for this negro man by not mocking him and trying to help him. Despite Kingscourt being in pain and discomfort because of the Great Famine he still sees this negro servant as no better than himself. He is a man who sees everyone on an equal level no matter first class or third class. After proceeding to help the negro servant, Lord Kingscourt’s wife who was sitting around the table called “David” as he turned to look at her she has half risen from her banquette and was gaily beckoning him over with a bread-knife, her knotted eyebrows and pinched lips set in burlesque of impatience. As a reader this makes us realise just how disgusted…

    Brookfield Place

    The question of whether malls are in or out in Manhattan has been hotly contested since Brookfield Place, a luxury mall in downtown Manhattan, sprung up directly across from Ground Zero. Even as a Real Estate investor, I can relate to both sides of this argument, especially when bringing it down to the basic question of what exactly constitutes a mall? As Adam Bonislawski relates in his Observer article, there seems to be some question over whether or not Brookfield Place can even be categorized as such.…

    “Frost Point, welcome home.” This is what I hear every year for a month. Growing up as an army brat my family moved around a lot. This was the same for my uncle and cousins. It took years for either of our families to find a forever home. During this early time in my life there was only one place that never changed. Frost Point. My grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins and parents gather with their 12 children to Rideau Ferry, Ontario, Canada every summer for a month. Every few years my home would change, Frost Point never did. It was the one constant home in my life, and it still is. I would arrive at the beginning of summer and everything would be exactly as I left it. If there is anything I’ll be able to remember forever, it is every element…

    CENTURION MECenturion Media

    Centurion media is a company that is in the business of broadcasting/publishing advertisement and commercials. The president of the Cable TV Division, Joseph Fowler, created a contract with Northpark, a consumer of selling advertisement that has not been sold by the parent company. Richard Bennett, a regional vice president in the Cable Division of Centurion Media. Bennett was one of the people that received this contract without any prior knowledge of the contract and was asked to deploy the content of contract. He was faced with a serious ethical dilemma that would impact his career, family, and co-workers. He believed that a contract executed by the new president of his division, Joseph Fowler, would cause significant financial losses for Bennett's own division and the company. Bennett suspected that Fowler might have a serious conflict of interest, since he owned stock and options in Northpark-the company with which he had negotiated the contract. Bennett was only two years from retirement. If he chose to protest the contract, it would likely have very unpleasant consequences -- including jeopardizing his own financial security. He would probably be fired. Additionally, his actions might endanger the careers of other employees and co-workers. The personal relationship between the CEO of Centurion Media, Chuck Reilly, and Fowler made Bennett's decision more difficult. When Bennett contacted with the general counsel and controller in the corporate office of Centurion Media, they suggested he back off. He was surprised by their stance that the contract, which Bennett thought would be financially disastrous, was in the best interest of the company. The Controller went so far as to remind Bennett how near he was to retirement, emphasizing that he should be concerned about protecting his job. If he chose to protest against the contract, he would probably be fired. Bennett was convinced that If he did nothing, his own…
