Harvesting Models LabsLaunch Harvesting Models LabBackgroundConsider a population of I say , fish , with a growth rate of 18% in an environment with a carrying capacity of 50 , 000 . We take a standard simple modelof population growth , the logistic model ( see the section on population models ) . We then consider different ways of harvesting the fish , with a goal ofmaximizing the long – term yield ( that is we want to harvest the largest number of fish without driving the population to extinction ) . We will*experiment with this numerically and then analyze the situation graphically to find the optimum harvesting . It is worth noting that while we couldsolve the differential equations exactly , it will be easier to find the answer to the question of optimum harvesting from the geometric analysis withoutexplicitly solving the equation .There are two standard approaches to harvesting from a population . We can harvest a set number of individuals every time ( constant harvesting ) , orwe can harvest a set percentage of the population every time I proportional harvesting ) . The basic model of the unharvested population isP’ = 18 P (1 – P 150.0100 )where ? is the population and the derivative is taken with respect to time & . If we harvest A units of fish every unit of time , we get the constantharvesting modelP’ = 18 P (1 – P /50.000) – 17In the other model , if we harvest a fraction*E of the population every unit of time , we get the proportional harvesting modelP’ = 18 P (1 – P/50.000) – EPYou should think about how the final terms in the two harvesting models reflect the different harvesting strategies . You will be asked to explain thisin your lab reports .In real life , constant harvesting can be enforced by setting a quota on all harvesters and then counting the harvest . Proportional harvesting is often*enforced by limiting the number of days that harvesting is permitted , with the assumption that in a fixed period of time it is only possible to catch acertain percentage of the fish available . Another way to enforce proportional harvesting is to do a periodic census , and then adjusting quota values*for harvesters according to the current population figures .
Harvard University’s Implicit Association Test
Explicit attitudes are beliefs that are directly expressed or publicly stated. Implicit attitudes, on the other hand, are beliefs that occur without conscious awareness. It is not uncommon for an individual’s explicit and implicit attitudes to differ.
To study the implicit attitudes people may have, behavioral scientists at Harvard University developed an assessment called the Implicit Association Test (IAT) that aims to measure unconscious prejudices. This is because many testing methods, such as asking survey participants to report their own prejudices and biases, can only measure their explicit attitudes.
For this assignment, you will take at least 2 Implicit Association Tests and reflect on your experience of taking the tests. Please note that there are several tests to choose from. You may take any two tests you wish. There is no need to prepare before taking a test because there are no right or wrong answers.
To get started, follow the link below and first review the information pertaining to the purpose of the IAT and the testing methods it employs:
You do not need to discuss your specific score, category, or anything about your individual results if you are not comfortable doing so, but please note which two tests you took.
After taking two IATs, you will write a reflection essay of 4–5 pages in length. Remember to include an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion, as well as citing sources used within your paper using in-text citations and a Reference page. In accordance with APA formatting requirements, your paper should include a Title and Reference page, should be double-spaced, and should include a running head and page numbers.
Make sure you utilize at least 2 credible sources to support the arguments presented in the paper.
Your essay should address all of the following prompts. Any opinions or points of view should be supported with examples and references.
Harvard format . need British writing . 950 words
Courseware may exceed the written range, strictly in accordance with the requirements
The reference does not need a lot, the following is the article that needs to be read in the last attachment, for reference.

Harvard business School Case Study: Balancing Online and Offline Marketing Which marketing approaches seemed to be the most effective in the HBS Case Study? Why do you believe this is the case.
Charlie Breckling needed to grow by 10% in the year 2010, attracting 168 traceable enrollments through online marketing efforts with a budget of $182,000. How would you allocate the resources based on the HBS case information? What specifically would you suggest doing with each of the seven internet marketing approaches outlined?
Do you agree with the decision to forego direct mail? Why or why not?
Harvard Business Review ranked Amazon CEO Jeffrey Bezos as the #2 Best Performing CEO in 2012. Here is what Bezos had to say about Amazon’s culture and strategy (Hansen, Ibarra, & Peyer, 2013):
“First, there are stories we tell ourselves internally about persistence and patience, long-term thinking, staying focused on the customer. Second, we select people who, when they wake up in the morning, are thinking about how to invent on behalf of the customer. If you like a more competitively focused culture, you might find us dull. We find our culture intensely fun. We have an explorer mentality, not a conqueror mentality.”
Would this culture aid strategy execution anywhere? Why or why not?
Does your own workplace follow more of a conqueror mentality or an explorer mentality? Is that good for sustainable competitive advantage?
