...CHAPTER 1 ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 1. Internal expansion involves a normal increase in business resulting from increased demand for products and services, achieved without acquisition of preexisting firms. Some companies expand internally by undertaking new product research to expand their total market, or by attempting to obtain a greater share of a given market through advertising and other promotional activities. Marketing can also be expanded into new geographical areas. External expansion is the bringing together of two or more firms under common control by acquisition. Referred to as business combinations, these combined operations may be integrated, or each firm may be left to operate intact. 2. Four advantages of business combinations as compared to internal expansion are: (1) Management is provided with an established operating unit with its own experienced personnel, regular suppliers, productive facilities and distribution channels. (2) Expanding by combination does not create new competition. (3) Permits rapid diversification into new markets. (4) Income tax benefits. 3. The primary legal constraint on business combinations is that of possible antitrust suits. The United States government is opposed to the concentration of economic power that may result from business combinations and has enacted two federal statutes, the Sherman Act and the Clayton Act to deal with antitrust problems. 4. (1) A horizontal combination involves...

...Solution Manual Chapter 5 - Consolidated Financial Statements with Less than 100% Ownership 1. The FASB ASC Master Glossary defines a noncontrolling interest “The portion of equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. A noncontrolling interest is sometimes called a minority interest.” 2. FASB ASC 810-10-10-1 defines the objective of consolidated financial statements as follows: “The purpose of consolidated statements is to present, primarily for the benefit of the shareholders and creditors of the parent entity, the results of operations and the financial position of a parent entity and its subsidiaries essentially as if the group were a single entity with one or more branches or divisions. There is a presumption that consolidated statements are more meaningful than separate statements and that they are usually necessary for a fair presentation when one of the entities in the group directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest in the other entities.” 3. FASB ASC 810-10-45-12 provides the following guidance: “It ordinarily is feasible for the subsidiary to prepare, for consolidation purposes, financial statements for a period that corresponds with or closely approaches the fiscal period of the parent. However, if the difference is not more than about three months, it usually is acceptable to use, for consolidation purposes, the subsidiary's financial statements for its fiscal period; if this is...

...Wal-Mart leadership became successful due to the company’s effective leadership style, their organizational structure and its culture. Wal-Mart’s organization culture is recognized to be more of bonded organization between the employer and the employee. Sam Walton, the company’s owner, shared his vision for the company with his associates and made them partners in the success of his company, after Sam died, his legacy remained the same with new management and continued to grow successfully and still remain number one in retail today, because management recognized his vision and carried it out as Sam would have done. New management did not dismantle Sam’s vision but kept the success going unlike Times Picayune, this organization lacked a successful organizational structure and endured more of procedural issues. After Times Picayune owner, Ashton Phelps Jr. retired, his vision was not carried out as he intended. After 175 years, new owner Ricky Matthews, dismantled Phelps vision and emphasized his own vision that became more procedural and steep, which caused the culture of the business to miscommunicate. Workers in this environment are more focus on pleasing the boss, instead of their work performance due to the company’s rules and policies being procedural and controlled without any flexibility. This type of culture causes employee turnovers and a bad reputation for the business. Matthews not only changed the culture of Time Picayune, but he lay off all active employees without...

...Criticisms While Kim and Mauborgne propose approaches to finding uncontested market space, at the present there are few success stories of companies that applied their theories in advance. One success story that does exist is Nintendo, who first applied the Blue Ocean Strategy to create the Nintendo DS handheld game system which was the first portable gaming system to offer dual screen gaming and a touch screen in 2004. In 2006, Nintendo released the Wii, which redefined how video games are played by. The 3DS is Nintendo's third endeavour for its blue ocean strategy. Its first two attempts, the Nintendo DS and Wii, were wildly successful, becoming some of the biggest selling platforms in history. Nintendo revealed their Blue Ocean Strategy during an E3 press conference during the hype build-up of the Wii. However with just one case study, this hole in their data persists despite the publication of Value Innovation concepts since 1997. Hence, a critical question is whether this book and its related ideas are descriptive rather than prescriptive.[10] The authors present many examples of successful innovations, and then explain from their Blue Ocean perspective – essentially interpreting success through their lenses.[11] The research process followed by the authors has been criticized[11] on several grounds. Criticisms include claims that no control group was used, that there is no way to know how many companies using a Blue Ocean Strategy failed and the theory is thus unfalsifiable...

...By Ahsan Manazir [pic] My aim is to investigate the role of the creativity in the business Game station, which is one of the UK’s leading computer and video games retailer. The definition of an aim is a target or to intend to move towards a certain goal. An objective is a goal that an individual or a team works toward to attain the end target. My objective for this particular research activity is to investigate different ways and ideas the business company Game station uses to improve creativity to attract customers. Primary research includes collecting data that does not already exist and therefore this could be data collected first hand. Examples could be conducting interviews or handing out questionnaires or observations. I will use secondary research which is data that already exists; this could be through published or recorded data that has already been collected for some other purpose rather than the current study. Therefore my research methods will consist of research from the internet and various websites. Game station provides customer service through numerous branches around the UK. Their products range from video games to electronic gadgets such as X-Box or Nintendo Wii, which are displayed throughout the shop for customers to observe and enquire about. The consumers for such products in Game station include children, teenagers as well as adults as most gadgets are designed for all ages while games on the other hand can specifically target a certain age group....
