...Business Studies Assignment: By Lateesha M. Year 11. Article 1: “ DICK Smith has issued a spray at the private equity firm that floated the electronics store he founded, which is now in voluntary administration. The outspoken entrepreneur said the previous owner, Anchorage Capital Partners, had “a lot of explaining to do” over its $520 million IPO, which he argued was drastically overvalued. And he called on those who benefited to step up and guarantee customers the money they are owed for deposits, gift cards and undelivered goods. “They most certainly should be refunded,” Mr Smith told news.com.au. “Some of the people who made a fortune out of the recent float, they should pay back those people who’ve put down deposits. “The company could not possibly afford to be that indebted, or have that value on the market.” Anchorage bought Dick Smith Electronics from Woolworths for $94 million in 2012, then floated it for $520 million just 15 months later. With the troubled retailer now in administration, customers left out of pocket by Dick Smith’s meltdown have been lumped together with all its other unsecured creditors. This means they are unlikely to recoup the full amount of what’s owed to them. Dick Smith’s bankers have appointed Ferrier Hodgson as receiver, which plans to put the business on the market. In a blow to customers, Ferrier Hodgson this morning released a statement confirming that it would not honour outstanding gift vouchers or refund deposits paid...

...someone else and taking home a nice salary and fringe benefits for the stress of running a new kind of business that may or may not succeed? (8 marks) Meg Whitman would choose the stress of running a different kind of business that might or might not worked out rather than her previous comfortable, stable and high paid job maybe because she don’t want to get controlled while doing her own work. People nowadays prefer more personal space or freedom so that they would feel comfortable while working. She doesn’t want to get controlled by the managers or her bosses. She might also get bored for doing the same work every day, repeating the same thing over and over again that’s why she would think to try doing or running something new and she wanted to change a new working environment. She also want to have her own working time compared to company’s fixed working schedule so that she can have more time to spend with her family, or extra entertainment time rather than keep working in the office. By joining eBay, she can arrange her own working timetable. She might also like to challenge herself so she is willing to accept the challenges and quit her current job for new challenges. Although running a new kind of business has huge risks and also a lot of new challenges, but she can at least do what she want and show what she can do. By running a new business, she also get to interact with different kind of people and becoming more socialize so I guess this is why...

...Fundamentals of Effective Communication in the Workplace Astrona Kyles Francis (Frank) Hatstat, JD, MBA Intro to Business November 8, 2015 Working for a company period consist of great communication. There should be a great communication between the employees, to the supervisors, then to the managers, the CEOs and owners. I worked for Aarons for over three years and they had the best communication I have ever experienced in working for any company. There was always a mass email that went out to all the employees when there was a change or an update with the company. It was always things that will keep us informed on the latest and newest products. I worked in an office where it was only three customer services representatives, which included me, two warehouse workers and a boat load of technicians. I had a supervisor who was over four different locations and only visited our office maybe once a week. She had a manager and so on and so on when it comes to the higher power. Even though we didn’t see our supervisor as much she always kept some line of communication. She was very nice and informative. When I had a problem or a question, and she wasn’t at the office, she always found a way to answer it, quick and efficient might I add. I had her work email, work phone, as well as her cell phone as a means of contact. She will have us in competition with the other stores to make sure we made our weekly and monthly goals. She told us about the prizes and bonuses we could...

The way in which one person learns can differ from one to the next as we experienced in semester 1. When we got together as a class to discuss how we prepared for assignments and exams we discovered many different approaches, the student’s opinions of what was best practice varied from student to student. Part A Learning Style This was the first time I had looked at different learning styles as thought to define them in a group or category i.e. Visual, Auditory, Reading & Writing and Kinaesthetic learners. I wasn’t sure what category I fell into and if known was going to even benefit me in anyway. In order to understand the first exercise I needed to do was reflect on my prior learning experience of semester 1 to help me understand my own preferred learning style. It became clear as to why this exercise was beneficial to me as a student; I started to understand what style suited me best and as equally important what style I didn’t using when learning. The definition of a learning...

...Business law assignment Business Law Assignment Common law and stare decisis Common law is all that law that is made by judges. It is initiated by citizens when they file cases in courts. Stare decisis is a term used in the common law to mean that decisions made in court cases should be based on previous decisions. It simply means that the decision should stand. It therefore means that in business, this is a principle that can assure a business person of the ruling of a case that is similar to the previous. Rulings in business cases are hence made predictable. Bailment It is where a person delivers his personals to someone else for safety keeping. Bailor is the one delivering property while the one receiving is the bailee. It involves delivery of goods to somebody else in trust creating a contract either express or implied.
