International Cow Packers (ICP) is a $12 billion meat processor (slaughter, processing, and packing). Founded in 1943, ICP has grown to become the largest beef and pork processor in the United States (revenues come 90% from beef and 10% from pork) and also has a growing export market to Japan. The company follows a focused cost-leadership strategy, delivering USDA-graded meats primarily to the institutional (schools, prisons, hospitals) and supermarket channels. ICP's entire value chain is organized to deliver volume product at the industry's lowest per-unit cost. Its supplier industries, primarily cattle and swine feedlots, have relatively little power since prices for these raw materials are determined in the commodity markets. While entry barriers to the industry are high due to high minimum start-up costs, industry rivalry is extremely intense?primarily due to the fact that three large companies (including ICP) control 80% of the market for processed meats. The threat of substitutes is high with an increasing trend for consumers to favor poultry and other non-beef proteins. Buyers are also powerful since supermarkets are relatively concentrated at a regional level and end-consumers have ample choices.
1. Indicate the risks ICP is accepting by adopting its low-cost strategy.
2. Make strategic suggestions as to what ICP could do to decouple itself from the ups and downs of the pure commodity markets.
3. Outline the Pros and Cons of the low-cost strategy business level strategy approach being adopted by the ICP.

An attractive fuel for nuclear fusion is deuterium H 1 2 which constitutes about .015% of the hydrogen in the oceans If each deuterium nucleus produces 7.4 MeV in a fusion reaction, how much energy would be released if each H 1 2 atoms in the 4 gram..
Two three-phase wye-connected loads are in parallel across a three-phase supply. The first load draws a current of 20 A at 0.9 power factor leading, and the second load draws a current of 30 A at 0.8 power factor lagging.
A balanced 3-phase load takes 5.4 kW at 0.6 lagging power factor. If this load is connected through lines having 2 ohms resistance and 2ohms inductive reactance. Find the line voltage at the source. The line voltage at the load is 208 volts.
Given the vector field F(x,y,z) = 2zi + (x+y)j - yzk. S (oriented upward) is the part of the plane x + y + z = 1 above the triangular region with vertices (0,0,0), (1,0,0) and (0,1,0) and C is the boundary of S with positive (counterclockwise) o..
