CASE BRIEF 6.2 Hornbeck Offshore Services, L.L.C. et al., v. Salazar 696 F. Supp.2d 627 (E.D. La. 2010) FACTS: Hornbeck and others (plaintiffs) provide services to support offshore oil and gas drilling, exploration, and production activities in the Gulf of Mexico. Kenneth Salazar is the Secretary of the Department of Interior (DOI), a federal agency that includes the Minerals Management. Following the BP Deepwater Horizon drilling platform explosion on April 20, 2010, and the resulting devastation and unprecedented disaster, the President asked DOI to conduct a study to determine what steps needed to be taken to prevent another problem with oil rigs in the Gulf. DOI did a thirty-day study, consulting respected experts from state and federal governments, academic institutions, and industry and advocacy organizations. On May 27, 2010, DOI issued a report that recommended a six-month moratorium on permits for new wells and an immediate halt to drilling operations on the 33 permitted wells in the Gulf of Mexico. The DOI report also stated that “the recommendations contained in this report have been peer-reviewed by seven experts identified by the National Academy of Engineering.” The experts pointedly observed this statement was misleading and called it a “misrepresentation.” Although the experts agreed with the safety recommendations contained in the body of the main report, five of the National Academy experts and three of the other experts publicly stated that they “do not agree with the six month blanket moratorium” on floating drilling. They envisioned a more limited kind of moratorium, but a blanket moratorium was added after their final review and was never agreed to by them. The plaintiffs moved for a preliminary injunction against the moratorium. ISSUE: Are the plaintiffs entitled to an injunction on the moratorium because the action of DOI was arbitrary and capricious? DECISION: The court held that the experts balking at the conclusion of the report, the inconsistency of the moratorium with the report information, and the availability of alternatives made the moratorium likely to survive a challenge of the action being arbitrary and capricious and issued an injunction. Questions: 1. Why is the problem with the experts’ objections important in determining whether DOI’s moratorium was arbitrary and capricious? 2. What is the significance of the difference between the factual information in the report and the terms of the moratorium? 3. What does the court see as alternatives to the moratorium?

Figure 1-15 shows three different networks with different size requirements. The needed capacity (number of devices) for each network is specified in the figure. Your task is to determine the CIDR block required for each network that will satisfy the number of expected users. You are to use Class C private IP addresses when configuring the CIDR blocks. Assign IP addresses and gateway addresses to the networks. The IP addresses should start with 192.168.0.0. Design your network so that the minimum IP address space is consumed.

Services Marketing

Numerous businesses have adopted various automation strategies to increase the efficiencies of service delivery. However, direct customer-employee interactions may be more effective to exceed customer expectations. Does the use of automated services ruin service quality? It is not always the case. As far as customers receive promised products and services in exchange for their resources (e.g., time, money), CX would not be ruined.

Take a look at the following video from TDBank:

Link: https:// the video was made for a “promotional” purpose, it introduces that even automated services can exceed customer expectations.

Having watched the video, post your response to the following questions:

  1. Identify at least 3 touchpoints (not only the ones introduced in the video) that TD bank utilizes to communicate its customers.
  2. Do you think ATMs are less effective than identified touchpoints as to exceeding customer expectations? Explain why.
