Ready Mixed Concrete Industry Competitive AnalysisHuang, Mei-Ping 23 July 2012 (has links)
ABSTRACT
Recent years the reducing number of public works projects has been a very serious situation. We had 380 billion and 360 billion projects in 2009 and 2010, in 2011 we only got 180 billion by the big amount of shrinkage of up to as much as 200 billion. In addition, more un-sold houses has been gradually increasing, which makes the relative reduction of the use in concrete can be expected, not even mention the follow-up addition works will be inevitably shrinking. The reduced Shipments plus the up-price of gravel, cement, oil, tires, etc, our industry is forced to raise a lot of the cost. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to the business.
The requirements of concrete is being able to reach required strength after 28 days of compressive strength in order to satisfy suppliers and construction companies, in any case the price of course is the first consideration, so the ready-mix concrete companies have price competition in order to get orders, which will cause the poor quality and the shortage of quantity. And this is temporary means of the operation, eventually we will be out of the market by running the business in this way.
In the future, I hope to seek the best business strategy through competitive analysis, but also reduce operating costs. As long as we streamline the organization and transformation of the management model, we should be able to get through the crisis, and enhance the industrial competitiveness. Eventually the undesirable industry will be naturally eliminated and the market will back on track.

Avant-garde nu och då : ett föränderligt koncept?Howells, Annie January 2017 (has links)
I denna undersökning har jag utgått ifrån Sassower och Cicotellos bok The Golden Avant-Garde: Idolatry, Commercialism, and Art. I den diskuterar författarna deras uppfattning utav vad som utgör en avant-garde konstnär och de bygger upp en modell för detta. Jag har utgått ifrån denna modell och jämfört en dåtida avant-garde konstnär, Marcel Duchamp, och en samtida, Cory Arcangel, för att ta reda på eventuella likheter och skillnader. Mitt syfte har varit att ta reda på om avant-garde som koncept har förändrats från 100 år sedan, på Duchamps tid, fram till nu. Sassower och Cicotellos teori utgår mycket ifrån en ekonomisk synvinkel och de diskuterar ämnen som konstmarknad och monetärt värde i samband med avant-gardens innebörd. Författarna tar upp ett par, för mig, nya koncept; technoscience och detached engagement, som de menar är avgörande att besitta för att som konstnär anses som avant-garde. En del av mitt syfte har också varit att ta reda på om Sassower och Cicotellos modell är ett givande sätt att undersöka avant-garde som koncept. Jag kommer fram till att modellen är trovärdig och givande samt att det är ett intressant sätt att ta sig an avant-garde som konstform. I min undersökning hittar jag många likheter och olikheter emellan de båda konstnärerna utifrån Sassower och Cicotellos modell och därför kommer jag också fram till att det är svårt att göra en exakt jämförelse på en så pass liten skala. För att komma fram till ett mer omfattande resultat hade jag behövt göra fler jämförelser mellan flera olika konstnärer.

Ett nytt liv : ett cykelmöbelprojekt av och med Frida Ottemo KällströmOttemo Källström, Frida January 2006 (has links)
Jag har valt att arbeta med ready-mades. För mig är det naturligt och lekfullt att arbeta med gamla "grejor". Det finns en historia bakom dem som inspirerar och fascinerar mig. Vad har hänt med dem innan jag fick tag på dem? Vad kan man göra med dem nu? Jag vill omforma och ge dem nytt liv. Saker med en historia är mer livfulla än nytillverkade i mina ögon. För att göra en överskådlig rapport har jag delat upp den i två delar – "Produktutvecklingen" och "Presentationen som del av projektet". Redan från början fick jag idén att göra en liten pjäs till presentationen av projektet. Detta för att få fram känslan av produkternas historia samt för att öppet kunna ge dem min kärleksförklaring. Förhoppningsvis kan detta väcka en tanke hos andra.

Examining K-6 Teachers' Stages of Concerns Related to Implementation of i-ReadyMcKinley, Cristy 01 January 2019 (has links)
Low reading proficiency rates have been observed throughout the United States including a rural school in southwestern New York State. Although the Outstanding School District (pseudonym) purchased i-Ready, an adaptive diagnostic and instructional program, only 35% of students in Grades 3 through 8 demonstrated proficiency in reading in 2018. The problem is that i-Ready has not been implemented as intended. The purpose of this case study was to investigate teachers' concerns related to implementation and use of i-Ready. The guiding research questions examined the teacher's most common concerns and challenges faced during implementation. The Concerns-Based Adoption Model served as the theoretical framework, specifically using the Stages of Concern dimension to discover feelings and perceptions of teachers. Purposeful, criterion-based sampling methods were applied resulting in 8 teachers being selected. Quantitative data were collected using the Stages of Concern Questionnaire. Analysis included converting raw scores to percentile scores, plotting each, and visually representing the findings. The results will provide information needed to make decisions about the use of the program, the challenges encountered in implementation, if professional development is needed, or if the program should be discontinued. Data analysis indicates concerns primarily in the “self” category indicative of limited use of i-Ready and challenges during implementation include limited time and information necessary about how to effectively use the program. The implications for social change include the potential of adding to existing literature on effective innovation implementation and further developing the knowledge base on effective reading interventions, which will lead to enhanced academic success and the ability of students to become productive members in their communities and societies.

The Rate of Intramuscular Tissue Temperature Reduction Between Wetted Ice with Elastic Wrap and Game Ready®Anderson, Courtney Rae January 2020 (has links)
In recent years, the Game Ready® unit has become a popular cryotherapy modality to treat musculoskeletal injuries. The purpose of this study was to determine which cryotherapy method, wetted ice bag with elastic wrap or Game Ready®, decreases triceps surae intramuscular tissue temperature the most during a 30-minute treatment. The independent variables were the cryotherapy modalities (Game Ready® and wetted ice with elastic wrap) and time (baseline, 10, 20, and 30 minutes). Twenty patients participated in this study. Wetted ice with elastic wrap decreased tissue temperatures significantly greater than Game Ready® at 20 minutes (P = 0.03), and 30 minutes (P = 0.02). Since wetted ice with elastic wrap produced a greater and faster decline in intramuscular tissue temperature compared to Game Ready® on medium pressure, this cryotherapy modality should be utilized in the immediate care phase of the injury repair process.
