True Competitive Advantage Lies Ucsd The Only Tru

Write a discussion (330-350 WORDS EACH) for each of the three articles below (Attached): Each article has a specific prompt (Make sure to Follow the prompt exactly)

1- Reich

What does Reich mean when he says at the end of his chapter in the course reader, “The only true competitive advantage lies in skill in solving, identifying, and brokering new problems?” Which of Reich’s three categories of employment (in-person service providers, routine production service providers, symbolic analysts) would include occupations that would be in a position of doing this? In other words, who is it that will identify and solve new problems in business and industry? When you post your comments or responses to others’ comments, use information from Reich’s article to support your points.

2- Mantsios

Mantsios states that all Americans do not have an equal opportunity to succeed, and class mobility in the United States is lower than that of the rest of the industrialized world) Mantsios, p.55). The affluent classes he discusses are most likely working as symbolic analysts who have attained high level of education in school and also at work. They are white-collar jobs occupants working as the engineers, scientists, investors and marketers as well as lawyers and investment bankers. On the other hand, the low class is mainly in in-person service jobs such as bank tellers whose jobs are reducing day by day. This is mainly attributed to technological change that is now phasing out and replacing them with automated teller machines.

3- Ehrenreich

Barbara Ehrenreich, in “Serving in Florida,” gives us a glimpse of the life of what economists and social commentators call the “working poor.” Ehrenreich’s text differs from the others we read in that it is a largely a narrative. She gives example after example of people struggling to survive in the world of low-wage employment. What is the point Ehrenreich is trying to make in her chapter? What is her main idea? In which category of employees Reich describes (symbolic analysts, in-person service providers, routine production services providers) do Erhenreich and her co-workers fit? How do you know?
