Go over the PPT I created to learn about Michael Porter’s value chain concept. Comment on “if it does not add value, don’t do it.”

Go over the PPT I created to learn about Michael Porter’s value chain concept. Comment on “if it does not add value, don’t do it.” Can you find examples of people continuing to do what’s not adding value to their customers?
The PPT for the textbook talks about two approaches to explaining value chain: an input-output perspective and a pre and post service view. What are the differences?
Referring to the textbook, make sense of outsourcing, offshoring, and reshoring. The book mentions Inditex. Who are they and what value chain do they have that helps them compete?
Watch the Blindside video clip to learn about the strategy used by the Big and Tall Store.
Referring to the videos on Outsourcing, would it make sense for companies like Apple and Nike to bring manufacturing home instead of their current practice of outsourcing? What about other industries/businesses that have outsourced and are now thinking about bringing their ops back home? What makes them think differently lately?
Many companies talk about their sustainability efforts. Could you find a company sustainability report then learn about their practices that you didn’t know before? Is it interesting to learn from them? What do you think they could also do to improve their sustainability?

Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders

 Assignment: Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders The  DSM-5-TR  is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the  DSM-5-TR , and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder. In this Assignment, you will examine the controversy surrounding dissociative disorders. You will also explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations pertinent to working with patients with these disorders.
