You have been asked to reflect on how you can gain a competitive advantage by choosing a specific type of strategy, making a decision about selling Margatitas, and then applying game theory.

Consider the 4 corporate-level strategies discussed in Chapter 6 on the text book. Describe the pros and cons of implementing each of these strategies in terms of how they relate to your restaurant. Give one example from the hospitality industry with references for each of the strategies. That means there should be a total of 4 examples. There needs to be four sections discussing:

– Concentration Strategy – definition and 1 example from the hospitality industry.
– Vertical Integration Strategy – definition and 1 example from the hospitality industry.
– Diversification Strategy – definition and 1 example from the hospitality industry.
– Mergers and Acquisitions – definition and 1 example from the hospitality industry.

1. In 1 page describe which one would be helpful for your hotel and why. This needs to be a well-reasons, well-thought out reason for your choice
2. Please use research for this assignment and make sure you cite your references using APA style. This means you must have a list of references at the end of your homework in alphabetical order AND you must have in-text citations. An in-test citation looks like this: Previous research suggest that consumers value the relationship they built with hosts while staying at an Airbnb-style accommodation (Belarmino, Whalen, Koh, & Bowen, 2017).

1. Apply a critical thinking principle to readings 7-10 (the “noteworthy debates” readings). Again: for this class, we mean something specific by critical thinking (ruling out rival hypotheses, falsifiability, replicability, extraordinary claims, Occam’s razor, correlation vs. causation). Ask me if you have questions! You should use a different one for each reading, but one repeat is fine. You do not have to conclude that the readings are wrong – if there is evidence of replicability or falsifiability, you can say so, just provide evidence to back up your claim and explain why. If you use direct quotes, you must also state the quote in your own words immediately to demonstrate your understanding.

2. Look into the mirror!

A. Imagine a way—based in the readings—that your future self could act or benefit from unconscious bias. Please pick two unique examples: a way that unconscious bias could affect you AND a way that you could contribute to or benefit from systemic bias.

B. How might you use the threat-based approach to prejudice to reduce your own biases or the biases of those around you?

3. Again, define social justice as you see it, using the readings to explain your perspective. How do these biases occur? Which method of reducing prejudice that we discussed do you think will best help us achieve social justice as a society?

Make sure to note any changes in how you understand the topics of social justice.

Reading are attached.

Could consciousness be explained in scientific terms?

In other words, could this essential first-person or subjective viewpoint — one that we all have on ourselves! — be explained in the third-person or objective terms of science? Or is there something about consciousness that somewhat necessarily escapes scientific understanding?

On one side, David Chalmers and Bernard Kastrup argue that phenomenal consciousness (how things seem to us when we are aware of them) is a real problem for science, or at least for any scientific worldview which regards matter, energy, and space time as what’s fundamentally real (see: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/naturalism/). On the other side, Daniel Dennett and Keith Frankish defend a view that they call “illusionism”: that consciousness as conceptualized in terms direct awareness of qualia is deeply mistaken.

What do you see as the main points in favor of the qualia-conception of consciousness and the functional conception of consciousness? Do you think it makes sense that there could be (logically speaking!) “zombies”: beings that act and talk exactly as we do, but without any awareness at all? What could a science of consciousness look like? Do you think that “neurophenomenology” is a good method for a scientific investigation of consciousness? Why or why not?

* answer the questions that are bold in one or two paragraphs. pls make it easy and do not use any complicate words or sentences
