Part 1.1. The relationship between the wolves and monkey is symbiotic in nature.
2. For the monkeys, the benefit is not 100% known, but it is thought that the wolves hunt competitors for the food that the monkeys eat. For the wolves, the monkeys seem to make hunting prey easier. In the long run, this increases the odds of survival for each.
3. The wolves may have a cost in terms of not eating monkey babies, but if that changes then the monkeys being so acclimated to the wolves would be a long-term cost.
4. The relationship definitely might change if resources were scarce. Right now, they are not competing for resources but if they were, then the benefits and costs dynamic would surely change.
Part II.
1. A business like Tower Records ran a bricks-and-mortar record shop empire. There are costs like real estate, inventory, advertising and staff that are pretty common in that line of business.
2. There were a lot of competitors, ranging from independent record stores to other big chains like H&M, to big stores like Wal-Mart, and then eventually Amazon arrived, and if Tower had lasted longer downloading services.
3. Tower Records really...
Most bricks-and-mortar record stores struggled with Amazon, really, and downloading really killed the retail music business. Basically, Tower went under because it had fairly high costs, such as prime real estate locations, and lots of inventory, but then it did not adjust to a changing landscape. It could have done so, but being sluggish in adopting new technologies significantly put the company at risk.
4. If you think about a mutually beneficial partnership, then Tower would perhaps have wanted to expand into other realms of entertainment, like adding books, which also ended up being a struggling business. Or it could have gone into the ticket business, which some independent record stores have used to keep themselves afloat. Or Tower could have partnered with one of Amazon's early competitors, to provide that end of the business. If the two companies had reasonably similar markets, they might have been able to come together to invest enough money to build a website as sophisticated as the one Amazon was using. This would have required a very proactive approach, and there might…
3) A seed is really a small plant embryo, surrounded by a nutritional layer known as the endosperm, all of which is covered in a hard protective shell called the seed coating. Fertilization occurred; all that is needed is the proper environment to encourage the embryo to grow. When this occurs, the plant quickly sprouts, first producing stem and leaves for support and the gathering of water and nutrients, as well
A favorite target for conspiracists today as well as in the past, a group of European intellectuals created the Order of the Illuminati in May 1776, in Bavaria, Germany, under the leadership of Adam Weishaupt (Atkins, 2002). In this regard, Stewart (2002) reports that, "The 'great' conspiracy organized in the last half of the eighteenth century through the efforts of a number of secret societies that were striving for
Solving the 1D Bin Packing Problem Using a Parallel Genetic Algorithm: A Benchmark Test The past few decades have witnessed the introduction in a wide range of technological innovations that have had an enormous impact on consumers, businesses and governmental agencies. Computer-based applications in particular have been key in facilitating the delivery of a wide range of services and information, and computer processing speeds have consistently increased incrementally. Computer processing speeds,
True Meaning of Snow David Guterson is the young, American author of Snow Falling on Cedars which heavily consists of human nature and human emotions. Snow Falling on Cedars, narrates the trial of a Japanese man accused of murdering a white man in the post-World War II era. Throughout this literary work, Guterson uses elements of nature: land, trees, water and especially snow, as literal and metaphorical tools to develop
Carr's argument also addresses the limits of the range of unethical business conduct. Specifically, many unethical business practices do not necessarily involve deception, per se. The case of "legally" selling car keys to car thieves is an example of that. In fact, there are many instances of decidedly unethical deception in business that are not illegal and that do not involve lying, necessarily. A strong argument could be made that
Evolution, Principle and Application of the Optical Microscope The application of optical microscopy has grown tremendously over the last few decades, this has been so in various disciplines where micron and submicron level investigations are applicable. The spreading out of fluorescence microscopy in research and laboratory applications has been fast-tracked by the instantaneous development of new fluorescent labels. Microscopists have also been able to get quantitative measurements faster and efficiently due
