Name the crisis in your own way. Using evidence from the essay, argue for how we might choose to name it; i.e. is it a tsunami, a war, a plague, a meltdown, a credit crisis, a confidence crisis, a global disaster? What other terms might be appropriate? The essay should be in three parts: a summary of Paumgartens essay; a description of some of the terms and stories that have been used to name the crisis; a suggestion of your own about what the crisis should be called. In making your case, you need to recognize the power of words to narrate reality: the word (or words) you choose is/are making an interpretation of events that is at the same time a narrative judgement that involves characterization (who are the villians? the good guys?) and plot (what was the turning point? Have we reached a climax?). Your essay may also consider whether your name comes from your own experience of the changing financial conditions: have you had a harder time getting a loan? Have you or someone you know lost a job or a house? How do these experiences change how you see, know or narrate the crisis?

Start by observing the living species around you. Ever wonder why a pollinator is attracted to a particular flower, or what would happen to predator species if a particular prey species is eliminated? If you were a scientist you could do an experiment to answer your question.
For this assignment, choose two non-human species that interact with each other, such as bees and flowers, or predator and prey species, or two species that compete. Or, you can consider the effect of an environmental factor on living non- human organisms, such as the effects of light or sound on plants or animals, or how food preference, or nutrient quantity / quality affect plants or animals. These are just a few examples. Your observations may lead you to many other types of questions about living organisms, their interactions, and requirements for life.
Start with an Introduction/Observation and move through the steps of the Scientific Method as outlined below. Your paper should follow this format.
Remember, you don’t have to actually do the experiment, just write what you would do to test your hypothesis.
Observations / Introduction: Describe your observation. Include background information about your observations that you have found using references. List and cite references using APA format.
Question: Ask a question about the observation that you have made.
Hypothesis: Write a statement that describes your explanation for the observation and question.
Prediction: What do you predict as outcomes (results) of this experiment? (AnThen Statement)
Controlled Experiment and Methods: Describe the experiment, variables to be held constant, variable to be tested, and controls. What data will be collected? Keep this simple and test only one variable at a time; holding the others constant.
Results: Give the results (data) for the experiment. This will be created (imagined) by you since you are not actually doing this experiment.
Conclusion / Discussion: Do you reject or accept the hypothesis based on the results? Discuss what this means in terms of the hypothesis, or need for additional experiments, or perhaps practical use of the results.

YOU BE THE CONSULTANT“Snow and Soda: A Profitable Mix: There is an unlimited amount of useful knowledge and information to gain from any company in any industry. The Crowley family has proved that many times over by borrowing techniques used in their bottling plant (Polar Beverages), applying those to their ski area (Wachusett Mountain), and vice versa.
A key factor for the success of both operations is filling unused capacity. An hour of unused or inefficient production time in the bottling plant has the same effect as an hour of unused or inefficient time on the ski slopes. The ski area was able to fill its idle capacity by targeting a number of diversified markets that use the slopes at different times of the day and week. The bottling plant was able to fill its idle capacity by reshaping the size of its bottles to better pack trucks.
On the surface, companies in different industries may appear to have little in common. The entrepreneur recognizes the opportunities of technology transfer–applying the lessons learned in one business and applying those same principles to assorted others.
Q1. Explain the core competencies that Wachusett Mountain has built. What is the source of its core competencies?
Q2. Identify Wachusett Mountains strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
Q3. Explain how Wachusett Mountain uses knowledge management to build a competitive advantage. What other steps would you suggest the company take in this area?
