What do you think invades the privacy of one person? What are your expectations of privacy? Well, in the case of Carroll vs The United States, Carroll was arrested in his car for carrying alcohol during the prohibition era, establishing that one did not need a warrant to search a car because the evidence can move. In DLK’s case however, the big question was if the police could use thermal imagers, to look at the heat coming out of DLK’s house without a warrant. DLK’s privacy was not invaded because a thermal imager only shows heat loss from general areas of a home and a thermal imager is available to the public, for anyone to use. Using evidence from Carroll's case, Justice John Paul Adams statement and a brief example of how thermal imaging, one can come to a superb conclusion.

TechMall’s revenue streams are rather simplistic. They receive a $750 one time set-up fee from all new merchants added into the TechMall system and a $50 statement fee, or maintenance fee, per month from all members. In addition, they receive a fee on each sales transaction, which is variable based on the dollar volume of the merchant’s transactions. TechMall’s standard pricing schedule indicates this revenue stream to be in the form of a 2% commission on all items sold by member merchants with a maximum commission receivable of $200.

DaVita deserves to be called a learning organization because they make it their concern to really help the person in need. For instance, most people in companies are more interested in making money and when one of the employees needs help they usually brush them off and say things like “I’ll be there in a minute”. DaVita goes above and beyond to look for answers to anyone’s question no matter what it takes. In demonstrating to people that any question will be answered and that their opinions matter helps people come out with any kind of problems they have. DaVita makes it their main priority to tell the truth and show people they can always ask for help and at the same time possibly learn something new in the process. This organization wouldn’t

The strategic design lens assumes organizations are deliberate, goal-achieving entities (Ancona, Kochan, Scully, Van Maanen, & Westney, 2005: M-2, 10). In this view, managers can achieve organizational goals by understanding the fundamentals of design and fitting design to strategy, as well as to the larger organizational environment (Ancona et al., 2005: M-2, 12). In this paper, I discuss the five major elements of strategy – environmental fit, strategic intent, strategic grouping, strategic linking, and alignment – and identify two specific elements as causes of the problems Dynacorp is experiencing with its redesign. These elements are strategic linking and alignment.

Or in order to maintain the integrity of the quality products they offer, will they continue their higher pricing and settle for a lower market share?

You will undoubtedly wish to add/subtract to this paper. I received a high grade on this but it was early in the course and so less analyses were expected. Meaning, you will want to apply those course concepts that suggest alternatives that actors in this case could choose, as relevant to where you are in the course.
