...HISTORY Domino’s Pizza was founded in 1960 and since then has grown to become the largest pizza delivery company in the United States. It has grown from a mom-and-pop pizza store to a network of company-owned, franchise-owned stores in the United States and across the globe and was recently ranked number 1 in Forbes magazine’s “Top 20 Franchises for the Money” list (David, R 2013, p. 372). Domino’s Pizza was the brain child of the brothers Tom and James Monaghan who grew up in foster care and had dreams of success. In 1960 the brothers opened their first pizza store in Ypsilanti, Michigan named Domi-Nicks with a nine hundred dollar start up loan. In 1961 Tom acquired full and sole ownership of Domi-Nicks by trading his brother James a car, a Volkswagen Beetle to be specific, for his half of the business. He then changed the name to Domino’s Pizza Inc. During the period from 1965 to 1978 Domino’s experienced steady growth and had increased from the initial mom-and-pop store, to having 200 locations nationwide. The 1980’s saw continued expansion of Domino’s and its brand. They grew to more than 5,000 locations in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia and Columbia (David, R. 2013, p.372). In 1986 Domino’s Pizza launched its Pizza Partners Foundation which is 100% funded by team member and franchise contributions and has disbursed nearly $12 million to aid team members facing crisis situations. Company founder Tom Monaghan eventually retired in 1998...

...“LE FANCY SCHMANCY” FINE DINE IN GENEVA RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT (1024) Date of presentation 11th February 2014 Group Member Krunal, Ajaz, and sumeet. Concept of restaurant Fine dine Word count (CONCEPT) 6300. CONCEPT OF FINE DINING IN GENEVA A fine dining restaurant is one that offers its patrons the finest food, quality service and atmosphere. It is also the most expensive restaurant and menu should offer unique items, the service should be beyond doubt impeccable and the atmosphere should be inviting. Today fine dining can be in any type of setting and provide feature a wide variety of cuisine. Standards you should always include in fine dining are fine china, glassware and flatware (absolutely no paper, plastic, or Styrofoam). While tablecloths are hard to escape in fine dining, the rest of the atmosphere is up to your creativity. We can take the traditional route, with silver candelabras and Rose centerpieces, or go for hip and trendy with a bold color scheme and modern furnishings. Music playing subtly in the background should reflect your theme, such as classical for a traditional fine dining restaurant or jazz tunes for something modern. Lighting should also be subtle, leaning toward dim but romantic. MACRO INDUSTRY ANALYSIS FOR FINE DINE RESTAURENT IN GENEVA USING PESTEL The restaurant concepts of fine dine in Geneva depend upon a number of industry-specific and general economic, political, legal and other factors, many of which...

...P R E FAC E W elcome to the evolving world of organizational behaviour! Social networks and virtual teams are replacing committee meetings. Knowledge is replacing infrastructure. Values and self-leadership are replacing command-and-control management. Companies are looking for employees with emotional intelligence and team competencies, not just technical smarts.

This edition explains how emotions guide employee motivation, attitudes, and decisions; how values have become important for guiding workplace behaviour; how self-concept influences employee motivation, team cohesion, leadership, and behaviour; and how appreciative inquiry has become an important strategy for changing organizations.

...P A R T I Discovering Momentum 1 1 The Power of Momentum Where’s the Impetus? Momentum. Most businesses get it at some point: the impression that everything they undertake succeeds effortlessly, as if they’re being carried along by a tailwind that increases their efficiency and propels them on to exceptional growth.1 Some hold on to it. Most don’t. Slowly, imperceptibly, the tailwind turns around and the momentum disappears, without anyone quite realizing what has happened. The company is still growing, but not as strongly as before, not as efficiently. Everyone’s maxing out, but it seems like there’s molasses in the works. Sound familiar? Sooner or later, it hits you in the face. Imagine you are meeting up with a senior analyst whose opinion counts with some of your company’s biggest investors. You think you’re on safe ground—after all, your company is doing better than the competition. But the analyst is in full gimlet-eyed, illusion-killing mode. “That’s nothing to crow about,” she says. “Yeah, you’ve got reasonable growth, but it’s nothing exceptional. You’re a safe bet, nothing more. Okay, I might tell my mom to buy, but 3 The Momentum Effect then she’s happy with inflation plus one. The way we see it, you’re really grinding it out. We reckon the strain’s getting harder, too. There’s no impetus—no momentum.” Words like that can really take the gloss off a day. The next time you gather your team, you don’t congratulate them on beating their targets—you...
