The Goal and The Operational Activities- Duke energy is in the operation of providing electricity to its consumers. It is a fact, though many people may not believe, that the adverse effects of providing electricity are the by-products of providing electricity itself (i.e. greenhouse gas(GHG), carbon dioxide (CO2). This is why I believe that its goal is directly related, without a doubt, to its operational activities.
The Goal and The Managerial Activities- The way I see Duke Energy's managerial activities is by looking at its efforts in investing and building new generation plants, developing its talent base and engaging with stakeholders to understand all viewpoints and find the best path to suistanable carbon reduction. I believe that the goal is related to the managerial activities because all the activities delineated above will inevitably result in having a low-carbon future. It will result in a low-carbon future because it is investing in generation plants that produce low-carbon, developing a workforce that can succesfully transition to a low-carbon future and communicating with stakeholders for recommendations and other actions to achieve a low-carbon future.
The Goal and The Strategic Activities- Duke Energy takes a different route in terms of achieving its goal by implementating a number of revolutionary strategic activities. Its strategic activities not only include investing in technologies and its people but also shaping the country's public policy and taking the stand that the sooner it starts, the greater the benefits. Duke Energy, as a strategy to achieving its goal, is pursuing passage of federal carbon legislation that will give electric utility industry the time it needs to make the transition to low carbon generation, without severe damage to the economy and customers. This, I believe, is how its goal is related to its strategic activities.
I believe that most of the burden in ensuring that activities are implemented accordingly are the executives and the managers. I believe that to make a sound decision, one needs to know the activities from the past up to the present. As for me, I believe that the best way by which they can effectively fulfill their roles is through the application of business intelligence. Because business intelligence, as a form of information system,can provide historical and current data, situations and performance, it will be able to provide the managers and the executives the valuable insights so they can make better decisions, which would affect the activities described above.

as for our modern technology, safety of all people should be one of the goals, and actually, duke energy got it. as what you had said, they only have one mission, but it is clear, simple.. and i agree to that
Duke energy might seem good now but what about later , will they give in to coporate america and lie to us , ripping out our pockets and grining in greed while poor people struggle.
more advertising to this will help enhance the awareness and will make the projects much more effective.
To qt:
We don't know what will Duke Energy do in the future. It can go either way. I think you have a point there but there's also a possibility that they would do better things people in the future. Your question is subjective, meaning, the answer depends on whose answering the question. But for me, I am just happy that Duke Energy is doing what is best for the environment.
