In March of 2012 Steve Parkland was hired as the new president at Charles Chocolates. He was immediately faced with numerous decisions about the future of the company. The board of directors had tasked Parkland with doubling or tripling the size of the company over the next decade, but the board and the senior management team had different opinions about the strategy that would accomplish this goal.

The industry that I chose is the chocolate industry. Growing up in Pennsylvania the Hershey Company is well know throughout the state and is a factory I have visited on multiple occasions.

Many people often meet different characters in literature and in life that they admire or despise. They conclude if those characters are good or evil and at the same time they reflect on the choices and responsibilities that those characters have.

In my daily life, I practice and play soccer. While playing you normally run a lot and this can because you fatigue. I really wanted a solution for this and not to be tired anymore.
