Describe how the discovery of vitamins and penicillin helped maintain the well-being of the growing population.

Describe the emergence of government controls in the food industry in the early 20th century
Assignment

The beginning of 20th century government controls on the food supply correlated with the quality of the food supply. The early 20th century food science also grew rapidly. The discovery of vitamins and their food sources gave new meaning to food as medicine. Deficiencies that were not diagnosed as such became curable with the right diets. Nutrition became a new science. Penicillin, first used in World War I to ward off infections, became household medication after its postwar mass production.

Introduction
This course uses a capstone approach to tie together all of your learning outcomes through your MBA program with a focus on strategy, management and application. For the Week 2 case study, you will need to use examples of Wholesale Foods and real-world experiences to answer the prompt.

Activity Instructions
For this case response, address the following:

What struck you as positives and/or negatives about Wholesale Foods and their specific strategies?
Are there certain strategic elements that were particularly insightful about what Wholesale does?
Are there any glaring weaknesses that could jeopardize their success?
The formulation of strategy must take into consideration the dynamics of the industry and its competitors. Who are the competitors for Wholesale Foods? Has the Wholesale Foods strategy been influenced by these competitors?
Create a recommendation section on how to adapt the mission, vision and goals of Wholesale Foods, or in the alternative, why they should continue to keep their current position.

All formal papers for this class require headers in proper APA format. For this assignment, headers should include (but are not limited to) the following:

Positive/Negative Strategies
Insightful Strategic Elements
Competition
Recommendation for the Future

Case study assignments must use formal writing, third-person point of view only, use proper APA 6th edition format, include scholarly references and research and provide analysis, not simply definition type writing. The main focus needs to be answering the questions with well-reasoned, insightful analysis. A simple recitation of what is in the case or the text is not adequate. Feel free to make comparisons to other organizations.

Identify three explicit statements or implications the author of your chosen New York Times article makes or suggests about any aspect of the reality of ADHD, its causes, diagnosis, and treatments.

The writing assignment begins with a quote from the following source:

Hinshaw, S.P. & Scheffler, R.M. (2014). The ADHD explosion: Myths, medication, money, and today’s push for performance. New York: Oxford University Press.

In sum, The New York Times’ portrayal of ADHD and ADHD medications during 2012 and 2013—especially in high-impact slots such as the Sunday Review–makes us wonder about the underlying agenda at this venerable newspaper. Derogatory and stigmatizing, laden with stereotypes and promoting outdated myths, and often scientifically inaccurate, these pieces reached wide audiences. If history is a guide, such strongly slanted accounts could alter the national dialogue. (Hinshaw & Scheffler, 2014, p. 110)

In Chapter 7, Hinshaw and Scheffler specifically mention a New York Times written by Alan Sroufe (whose name should be familiar to you as one of the early pioneers in mapping the domain of developmental psychopathology), as well as two articles by Alan Schwarz, and an article by Vatsal Thakkar, discussing the phenomenon of sleep disorders being misdiagnosed as ADHD.

Your task is as follows:

1) Find the articles from the New York Times to which Hinshaw and Scheffler are referring. Review them carefully and choose one that is of particular interest to you.
2) Identify three explicit statements or implications the author of your chosen New York Times article makes or suggests about any aspect of the reality of ADHD, its causes, diagnosis, and treatments. Explicitly quote those statements in your paper. Briefly explain what you see as the significance of those quotes (without using the word “I”). Finally, take a position on each of those strong statements. Is the statement clearly accurate or clearly inaccurate? Is it partially accurate? Is it misleading in some way. You must support your position using references to empirical evidence (research articles from peer-reviewed journals). You will be penalized in this paper for expressing opinions that are not supported by empirical evidence.
3) You are to write in a professional manner, one that mirrors the style in which your course text is written. You will also write this paper in APA format, as your course text and the assigned articles are written. All of the expectations that were outlined for the first paper remain in effect [6-8 pages (not including the title page or reference page),double-spaced, using an 11 or 12 font, with one inch margins all around, in black ink, with a header (including the running head and page number) on each page. No abstract is required], with two exceptions.
a. Your paper should have a reference list with at least 10 sources. One source will be your target New York Times article. One source can be your course text and one can be Hinshaw and Scheffler (2014). My comments in class cannot be used as a source. Your additional references must come from “refereed” journals (we will talk about this in class) and absolutely not from non-scholarly web sources. Each reference should be in proper APA format. Every citation in the text must correspond to an entry in the reference list and vice versa.
