Use the SWOT factors from the analysis to conduct a TOWS analysis for Daimler company Word limit.

n achieving its goals, Daimler has put in place four strategies. These strategies are; strengthening its business core, ensuring that there is a growth in the global market, putting measures to ensure the safety of future mobility, and attempting to improve on automotive concepts and services (John and Gillies 2000). The four strategies ensure that Daimler achieves its target in offering the best services, while at the same time making a good profit. A critical analysis of its annual AG report, it is clear that Daimler is making a success in the automobile field.
Each company has defined set of goals and objectives. They all aim at satisfying the needs of their esteemed customers while at the same time making enough profits. Daimler uses a combination of both the differentiation strategy and cost leadership. Advertising and a long reliable history of durability and quality are its value chain for competitors and has given it the ability to grow in a market that is highly competitive. This has also improved their competition in the market narrowing down the big list of competitors that have recently flocked into the industry to three main competitors Volkswagen AG, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, and AB Volvo (Buckley and Ghauri 2015). However, their differentiation and cost leadership strategies are narrow as opposed to broad.
In the quest to reach new markets, Daimler has expanded and acquired techniques that will help in its permeation. From the list of directors who have headed it, they have made significant efforts in enabling that the company reaches greater heights. Their scope has gone further in implementing programs that support their growth strategy as well as further efficiency improvements. This has enhanced their presence in the world market where they have been able to cooperate with other partners. Even with the constant increase in population, Daimler has shown continued efforts to satisfy its customers (Martelin, 2009).

Fully answer the question with details

Determine if Stuxnet or a similar virus could happen here, and how you would protect the utility infrastructure in light of a heavy reliance on the Internet and Web-based applications which allow remote access.

Case Study: Viruses

Case Study: Viruses

The country of Iran is expending tremendous resources on developing a nuclear energy program that is believed by the Western countries to be weapons-oriented. Recently, a virus named the Stuxnet  has been in the news because it was introduced into the Iranian computers controlling their nuclear program and wreaked havoc on their centrifuges. Unfortunately, this virus has now escaped and is available to malicious attackers so that it could potentially be used against our own infrastructure.

Evaluates the effectiveness of an argument by examining the choices the author has made in order to convince a general reader.

For this assignment, you will write an essay that evaluates the effectiveness of an argument by examining the choices the author has made in order to convince a general reader. Examining a written argument gives you practice in three main areas: 1) Reading closely and carefully; 2) Learning to detect the strategies used to “sell” you on an idea, thus giving you a better vantage point from which to judge the motives behind and credibility of various texts; and 3) Learning various strategies of argumentation to integrate into your own writing in order to make your own writing more persuasive. A rhetorical analysis essay requires that you decide whether or not the argumentative techniques used in an essay effectively convince readers. Your opinion on the topic is irrelevant in a rhetorical analysis, but your opinion about the quality of the of the author’s argument is very important in a rhetorical analysis.

 

Pick 3 to analyze the essay

Analogy, anecdote, assertion, authority, allusion, ethos, pathos, or logos.

If Casey elects to discuss her officer’s recommendation for some form of intermediate sanction, how can she justify such sanctions in general and in this case specifically.

III. “Out-of-Town Brown” and the Besieged Probation Supervisor
Joan Casey is a career probation officer. She majored in criminal justice as an undergraduate, holds memberships in several national correctional organizations, attends training conferences, and does a lot of reading on her own time to stay current in the field. Casey began working for the Collier County Probation Department soon after she graduated from college and was promoted to a supervisory position, where she supervises an adult probation unit consisting of eight seasoned probation officers. The unit is responsible for investigating approximately 80 offenders a month and preparing presentence investigation (PSI) reports on them. Collier County’s Probation Department made the front page of the local newspapers twice in the past month. Both times it was a nightmare for the chief probation officer, Jack Brown, and the entire agency. “Northside Stalker Gets Probation!” screamed the first headline, and then, just a week later, “Collier County Soft on Crime!” Brown called a management team meeting: “Better PSIs,” he said, “or heads are gonna roll!” Everybody got the point. This week Brown is on annual leave and Casey is the designated officer in charge. One of Casey’s probation officers has recommended intermediate sanctions for a 23-year-old man who murdered his stepfather with a knife after suffering many years of physical and mental abuse. The young man had no prior record and had been an incest victim since he was 5 years old; he is considered an otherwise nonviolent person, a low recidivism risk. Casey is aware of the probation officer’s recommendation and agrees with it. However, she receives a call from a well-known veteran local television anchor—a strong crusader in the local war against crime. He knows the young man will be sentenced tomorrow.
Questions for Discussion
1. What should Casey’s response be to the reporter (other than hanging up or telling him to call back) concerning the agency’s recommendation?
2. If Casey elects to discuss her officer’s recommendation for some form of intermediate sanction, how can she justify such sanctions in general and in this case specifically?
3. Do you feel that the probation officer’s recommendation based on these facts is correct? Why or why not?
4. Which form of intermediate sanction would appear to hold the most promise for the offender in this case?
