Describe the level of involvement that the customers experience when buying flavoured milk and beverages by Dairyland. Then, identify and explain the type of consumer buying decison (routine, limited, and extensive) that customers have when purchasing it?

Between 1966 and 1975, the Orkin Exterminating Company, the world’s largest termite and pest control firm, offered its customers a “lifetime” guarantee that could be renewed each year by paying a definite amount specified in its contracts with the customers. The contracts gave no indication that the fees could be raised for any reasons other than certain narrowly specified ones. Beginning in 1980, Orkin unilaterally breached these contracts by imposing higher-than-agreed-upon annual renewal fees. Roughly 200,000 contracts were breached in this way. Orkin realized $7 million in additional revenues from customers who renewed at the higher fees. The additional fees did not purchase a higher level of service than that originally provided for in the contracts. Although some of Orkin’s competitors may have been willing to assume Orkin’s pre-1975 contracts at the fees stated therein, they would not have offered a fixed, locked-in “lifetime” renewal fee such as the one Orkin originally provided.
Under the three-part test for unfairness stated in the course textbook (see page 1363), did Orkin’s behavior violate FTC Act § 5’s prohibition against unfair acts or practices?
Discuss each element of the three-part test and how it applies to the Orkin case.

Overview
Organizational creativity and innovation have proven to be challenging concepts to measure. There is not a particular output that indicates organizational levels of innovation. To flourish, innovation and creativity must be fostered within the organization. They must be established as cultural values in order for the organization to see the benefits.
Prompt
Write a paper evaluating business metrics for innovation. Although business metrics generally measure symptoms or outputs of an organization’s culture, we can find correlations between some business metrics and the quality of an organization’s innovation culture. Review the table shown below and answer the following questions.
Consider the metrics in the table and evaluate if each is a good measure of innovation and creativity.
Is the number of active products an indicator of innovation, or an indicator of whether the innovation is incremental or discontinuous?
Is research and development (R&D) headcount an indicator of innovation or labor efficiency?
What would it mean if any of these metrics increased over time?
Evaluate and select which company (INAGG, Inc. or AMMB, Inc.) is most likely to have a culture that supports innovation and creativity.
How might non-R&D staff time dedicated to experimenting with new products be an indicator of an innovation culture?
What are some scenarios in which having more patents would not be a good indicator of an innovation culture?
Discuss the ability, and limitations, of metrics such as the ones in the table and business intelligence (BI) to measure the ability of an organization to innovate or support employee creativity.
What are the limitations of the metrics that you think are the best indicators of innovation culture?
Could some of the limitations be avoided by using a combination of metrics?
How could business intelligence be used to evaluate limitations of metrics?
Metric INAGG, Inc. AMMB, Inc.
Number of active projects 12 6
Research and development (R&D) budget $10M $14M
R&D headcount 52 33
% of sales from products introduced in the past four years 15% 35%
Number of new products launched in the past four years 7 3
Employee time dedicated to experimenting with new products Not tracked 10%
Number of patents in the last four years 7 23
Note: Both companies are in the same industry and make similar products. They have the same number of total employees, revenue, and length of time in business.

Subcultures and You
Subcultures are groups of people that are in some way distinct from other members of society. You can think of subcultures as communities of people that are different from the norm in some way. For example, having children or owning an iPhone are common practices in our society, so doing these things does not make you a member of a subculture. Some common characteristics of subcultures include:
beliefs that set them apart from the rest of society
social norms and values that are unique or contrast with mainstream culture
interaction organized around music, art or other shared activities
a special way of communicating (slang)
material objects (clothing, equipment etc) that are specific to the group
For this homework assignment, I want you to discuss the following:
Describe a subculture that you currently or formerly belong to. Looking at the characteristics I have listed above, discuss the characteristics that you share with other members of the subculture.
Refer to the list of elements of culture in your textbook readings (Values, Beliefs, Norms, Symbols and Language), describe the non-material elements of your subculture. How do these elements contrast with mainstream culture in the United States?
The textbook makes the case that “material and nonmaterial aspects of culture are linked, and physical objects often symbolize cultural ideas”. What are the material aspects of your subculture? Does this subculture use material culture in a unique way? Are the material items associated with your subculture linked with the nonmaterial elements of your subculture? Explain.
Your paper should be 3 pages of writing, double spaced, using a 12 point font. This should be written entirely in your own words. Plagiarism will result in an automatic zero on this assignment. Seriously. Make sure you thoroughly respond to all of the questions on the prompt. Please submit either a pdf of word doc.
If you want to quote something from the assigned readings, you will need to use appropriate citations in your work. The author of the assigned textbook is OpenStax and the publication date is 2015. Some examples of in-text citations would be:
Including the date if you are referencing the textbook….for example: “According to Openstax (2015), there is a…..”
or at the end of a paragraph summarizing an idea…the citation would look like: (Openstax 2015)
Include a works cited page at the end of your paper. For more information on how to cite sources, here is a link to a guide produced by the American Sociological Association: ASA Citation Guide

Several states are considering changing the traditional salary schedule from a matrix that has several columns based on the number of credits earned after the bachelor’s degree and gradations based on years of experience to something simpler. One plan that has been discussed by some states is reducing the number of columns to just three: one for initial certification, one for professional certification, and one for National Board certification.
Do you believe these proposed changes help teachers? Will they improve education?
