Discussion of hip hop

/in /by

Gangsta rap was—and remains—controversial. One of the more striking criticisms about gangsta rap was that gangsta rap is a “modern-day minstrel show.” (Spike Lee and Stanley Crouch are two examples of prominent figures who have discussed gangsta rap in these terms.) Minstrel shows were an American musical theater genre popular from the early part of the nineteenth through the beginning of the twentieth century. Minstrel shows caricatured black people for the entertainment of white audiences. White performers would blacken their faces with burnt cork or greasepaint and then perform songs and skits that mocked African Americans as lazy, buffoonish, dumb, and superstitious.

[Before writing your post please explore this website http://exhibits.lib.usf.edu/exhibits/show/minstrelsy for an in-depth look at minstrelsy–especially if you were not familiar with it before this discussion prompt.]

How do you respond to this criticism? Why do you think this comparison to minstrelsy was made? What demographic are/were the largest consumers of gangsta rap? What bearing does that have on this criticism of gangsta rap.

Given the sensitive nature of this topic, I will remind you all to be thoughtful and sensitive in your discussion.

International Management and Amazon’s Healthcare Products

/in /by

SCENARIO: The world’s population is aging rapidly and it has contributed to changing business in Amazon.

Recently, Amazon has entered the healthcare market and connects global suppliers with customers of

healthcare products. This has contributed to decrease in price of healthcare items but has increased access

to unreliable and (sometimes) dangerous suppliers who might not use the same quality standard as their

competitor’s. However, for many large and small hospitals, it is beneficial to use Amazon suppliers because

of the fast delivery and low prices. Therefore, an emphasis has been placed on managing the risk of buying

healthcare related items purchased through Amazon.

Please use internet for recent and relevant readings and discoveries but don’t plagiarize. Organize

all your citations, graphs, and charts (if any). Use no more than one page titled “References” to cite your

readings.

ASSIGNMENT:

Assume that you are part of Amazon’s executive management team.

Vice President of Operations asks you to do the following:

1) Design a Value-Stream to analyze and control the quality of Amazon’s healthcare products using low costs alternatives. 

2) Design SFAS Matrix for performance and quality of Amazon’s healthcare products (or for its suppliers).

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

1. Design a value-stream for Amazon’s healthcare products to analyze and control its healthcare products (5 points)  (See Chapter 5, slide 15 – 28).

2.Use VIRO framework (discussed in chapter 5) to show how Amazon could evaluate its suppliers to achieve high-quality healthcare items. Give examples to make your point. (10 points) 

3.Design SFAS (Strategic Factor Analysis Summary Matrix) Table for Amazon’s healthcare suppliers or Amazon’s healthcare products (not both)  (5 points). Use Chapter 6, slide 7 (Table 6-1). You may ignore the right-side table on Table 6-1.
