    By the late 1950s, Husky had established a reputation as a high-quality maker of plastic molds, especially "thinwall" molds used to make vending cups and other containers. As demand for the injection-molding machinery rose around the globe, Husky expanded to Europe in the mid-1960s and established a joint venture in Japan in 1971. A new line of molding systems, tailored for the production of PET bottle preforms, pulled Husky out of its crisis by the end of the 1970s. Profits from this area allowed the company to expand into other product lines and additional countries during the 1980s and early 1990s.…

    Alex Cameron took over the reins of his family business after his graduation, and when he did, Cameron Auto Parts was immediately faced with a big financial crisis. When he took over the company in 1991, sales in 1990 dropped to $48 million and for the first six months of 1991 to $18 million. Cameron Auto Parts also lost $2.5 million in 1990 and the same amount in the first 6 months of 1991. Market forces, such as the Japanese taking an increasing share of the market, were driving the North American auto producers to try to advance their technology and to lower the prices at the same time. At that time, Alex had to cut the workforce from 720 to 470 people. He was thinking of different steps of how to increase his sales. He wanted to enter foreign markets but didn’t have enough resources to do so on its own. He had different options on his mind such as licensing and joint venture. He had a big ambition for diversification, but he never had to design and develop its own products and had never hired any design engineers. By mid-1993, Alex had hired a key-engineer from a Canadian firm and the company developed its own line of flexible couplings with an advanced design and efficient production process using the latest in production equipment. They developed a good marketing plan and made a successful new product. Cameron was then faced with how to market and sell the product. He needed to decide whether it was better to expand current facilities, or license to outside companies. He was considering licensing since there was an opportunity for it and it would be a good way for quick entry to foreign markets.…

    The problem to solve in this article is childhood obesity. This paper gives the views that the parents have on the way the schools play a part in childhood obesity. Over the last few years the number of childhood obesity has skyrocketed. Roughly 9 million children have been reported to be obese and that number is steadily increasing. (Murphy & Polivka, 2007) . Schools more than ever play a significant role in our children today. Obesity can lead to many health issues if the problem is not addressed. If children simply add more physical activities and correct bad eating habits this can lower the numbers tremendously. According to Murphy and Polvika, Myers and Vargas decided to survey 200 parents to get their perspective on childhood obesity. In that article it explains how the parents feel and what they feel can correct this problem.…
