THE RISE AND FALL OF BLOCKBUSTER (8:27) The Rise and Fall of Blockbuster (8:27)Misreading the scope of external/internal forces can make or break a company. These two videos are great examples of how a company and industry failed to properly scan the environment and adjust their business models. In both cases, changing consumer habits and emerging competitive forces led to their downfall.As you watch the videos, think of how each company/industry went astray. Identify the internal and external forces that led to their problems. Video not loading? Watch on Youtube THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BUFFET CHAIN - CHEDDAR EXPLAINS (9:27) (9:27) The Rise And Fall Of The Buffet Chain - Cheddar Explains (9:27) (9:27)In the 90s, buffet chains like Old Country Buffet and Golden Corral were seemingly everywhere. But since 2000, the industry has been in decline. While hygienic concerns and shifting consumer preferences have hindered the success of buffets, the business model was flawed from the start.

Responses to two peer posts will come later. Our videos this week profile companies or products that have famously failed. Think of a company or product that you think may not be around five to ten years from now. What are the environmental forces that would make them fail? Again, everyone must choose a different company so make sure you put the name of your company in the subject line. The company that I chose was Staples. Thanks so much bud.
Go to the Strategy Club website and review the "Sample Strategic Plan for Sanderson Farms" (2020) and "Juniper Networks" (2020) under the student resources section. This sample strategic plan is an example of what your completed strategic case analysis should look like at the end of the course. **I attached those for review** but not really necessary for this week. Every strategy will have associated costs. Determining how to provide enough necessary capital to adequately cover the projected costs is one of the more critical steps required to keep firms competitive. For each of the following parts, use your CLC group’s Strategic-Planning Template. Part V: Retained Earnings Create a Retained Earnings Table by doing the following: Step 1: Refer to and follow the steps given in Chapter 8 of Strategic Management: A Competitive Advantage Approach, Concepts, and Cases to learn how to complete a retained earnings table. Step 2: Use the data you have compiled about your company throughout the course to assist you. Step 3: Use your Strategic-Planning Template to complete the company retained earnings table. Step 4: In 50-100 words provide an overview of the analysis of the implications of the retained earnings for the firm. Please include at least 1 reference. ****This part can not be completed until all other team members have completed their parts of the group assignment*** Additionally, summarize (350-750 words) the importance of each of the five parts above in this assignment (Parts I-V). Explain how each of the parts contribute to the firm’s success going forward. Please include 5 references.

Typically, this section should be approximately 200 words long. For samples of how to write an Annotated Bibliography entry, please follow this link. SECTION 2 needs to record your personal reflections of the reading or video. Typically, this section should be approximately 100 words long. The kinds of things you can address in this section include: What this reading or video made you think about, generally speaking (i.e., what connections you draw between each individual text and other things you have read or encountered in life) Where you got lost in the reading or video?

Part 1 Video lecture Video 2 OUTSIDE READING: Medieval Pilgrimage (attached) What is pilgrimage? According to your outside reading ("Pilgrimage in Medieval Europe"), what is the relationship between pilgrimage and sacred art (both art and architecture)? PLEASE USE A DIRECT QUOTATION! What is a reliquary and why are they important to pilgrims? How do we see the benefits of pilgrimage visually represented on the cathedral of St. Lazare in Autun, France? YOU MUST BE SPECIFIC! Part 2 Friends, this week we begin the Gothic Period, which we very much associate with the rising power of the Capetian Dynasty in France. Although your lectures dance around this issue, the rise of the Gothic style is very much a response to the increasingly powerful and centralized power of the kings of France. After all, the massive Gothic cathedrals built around Paris in the 1100's and 1200's couldn't have happened in a period of economic and political chaos. Please note, this week, you have two outside lectures, one quite short (which discusses the Church of St. Denis), and a much longer one on the crown jewel of the Gothic period, Chartres Cathedral outside of Paris (be aware that "Chartres" is pronounced as "shartra"in French and typically as "shart" by English speakers). You also have two brief readings. The second of these is an article on the restoration of Chartres Cathedral from 2017 which I find fascinating (so should you!!). Please read everything carefully. Reading Outside lecture Outsude lecture 2 OUTSIDE READING: The "Scandalous" Restoration of Chartres (attached) Abbot Suger was the administrator at the Abbey of St. Denis (note: Abbot is his title, not his name). What was so important about this church? Why did Suger feel the church needed to be more spectacular? What new building techniques did Suger implement at St. Denis (particularly in the ambulatory, the walkway behind the altar of the church)? For Suger, what did the emphasis on decoration, and particularly stained glass represent? Finally, read the article on the controversial restoration of Chartres Cathedral from 2017. What was so controversial about this restoration? Which side do you think is right? PLEASE USE A DIRECT QUOTATION IN YOUR ANSWER! RUBRIC Answer the questions in the prompt! Answer all of them! This is the most common cause of a reduced score. • If asked to analyze an image, analyze it with specific details. If you are vague, unclear, or your work lacks specificity, you will be marked down. If you are sure that you have answered all of the questions in the Learning Log and you still have a reduced grade, this is most likely the cause. • You should aim as much as possible to use appropriate terms from the textbook and lecture. Using incorrect terminology is a giveaway that you have not taken appropriate notes during lecture and your reading. • Quote specifically and appropriately from the book or other relevant documents if asked. It is extremely important that you show evidence of an appropriate engagement with the textbook. Learning Logs that do not directly cite a relevant passage from the book will be graded down. • Do not paste in information from the web or use outside sources. YOU SHOULD DO NO OUTSIDE RESEARCH--use only your book and lecture notes. • Do not be overly general and/or vague: “Art has always been a part of human history...” “Art is known to be a powerful way to communicate...” • Do not include lengthy background information on works of art, artists, or time periods unless absolutely necessary or directly relevant. • Aim for clarity and organization in your writing just as you would in any piece of graded, formal or professional writing. • Feel free to be bold and creative in your response, so long as you can back it up with visual evidence.
For this Discussion your will need to do a bit of research in order to participate. One of the keys to success in our profession, actually, in most professions, is the ability to network. Networking is the process of interacting with other designers, vendors, product reps. etc. to exchange information and develop professional contacts. Through these contacts you are made aware of what is happening in the industry, as well as available positions and projects. One of the best ways to network; is to join Professional Associations. In the interior design community there are several to consider. For this Discussion I would like you to look up the (4) most known professional associations in our industry; ASID, IIDA, NEWH and NKBA. After learning a little about each; I want you to choose the association you would like to join, and tell us why. WHY you chose this association over the others What is required to join as a student What is their next event

I will link a PDF to the assignment instructions. Please follow each direction carefully and only use the sources provided. Below is my topic proposal for the paper, in which you will write about the following pieces of art. Make sure that the paper is four pages when double-spaced excluding sources. Museum Paper - Milestone One - Topic Proposal The Gross Clinic (1875) Artist: Thomas Eakins Style: Realism Origin: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Current Location: Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia Medium: Oil on a canvas Liberty Leading the People (1830) Artist: Eugène Delacroix Style: Romanticism Origin: Paris, France Current Location: The Louvre, Paris Medium: Oil on a canvas Justification: I chose The Gross Clinic by Thomas Eakins and Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix because both of them depict influential and crucial moments in history. Their styles and periods, romanticism and realism, also contrast each other very well, and I believe comparing both these styles will be informative and thought-provoking. The contrasts between paintings will offer a good perspective on these time periods and make for an interesting topic to write about. Sources: 1.
