...team was to pick the strongest employees. Dimon was seen as both a risk taker and a team player. The banks name for him was a rainmaker which is an employee who is very successful at attracting new, wealthy clients for his or her team. They five employees that he took from Citigroup where also seen as top employees so he came to J.P Morgan with a strong team already. He was known to handle delicate tasks of merging employees. The team was also brought together by bringing them into an effective workplace, integrating functions, brands, and people across all of the banks businesses. 2. What benefits would JP Morgan gain by using blended teams? What difficulties will it have to overcome as it goes through the process of team formation. Benefits that are gained is bringing people together with strong skills from two different companies and making/helping the company to grow. There will be plenty of issues because you are working with a lot of leaders, people that are use to taking charge rather than working together.

...Case 14-01 Bringing Students Together Overview Education in China is highly protected by the government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) because it represents an avenue to teach, inform, and shape the minds and beliefs of the country’s people. As a result, any enterprise that provides education services in China needs to follow certain PRC laws. Specifically, one law requires that an entity that conducts education services must be owned by Chinese nationals and cannot be owned directly by foreign individuals or entities. Recently, an increasing number of wholly foreign-owned enterprises (WFOEs) in the PRC are involved in complex business structures that allow a foreign entity (often an SEC registrant), through a series of contractual arrangements as opposed to equity ownership, to effectively control a PRC-domiciled enterprise that provides education services. This typically results in the SEC registrant accounting for the PRC-domiciled education enterprise as a consolidated subsidiary, effectively allowing the SEC registrant to recognize the gross assets, liabilities, and profits (or losses) of the PRC enterprise even though the WFOE has no equity ownership. These structures have been the subject of recent public scrutiny and focused on by the SEC. This case will discuss (1) the various contractual agreements that are used to create such structures and (2) whether a consolidation conclusion is appropriate under U.S. GAAP in different scenarios.

...developments of evolutions occurred it also had it’s for share of influence on the American culture both positive and negative. For instance, the radio being one of the first modes of wireless communication gave people the hearing power to listen to the news, sports, current affairs, music and other entertaining programs. The evolution of the television gave people the sight invention of watching their programs. This helped the American consumer to have the opportunity to see and listen to whatever channels or programs airing, today almost every household in America has television.

The reason I disagree is because promoting from within brings a lot of benefits to employees and organization. I individually support promoting from within and I think that promoting from within is definitely more justified than bringing in an outsider. Research shows that insider and outsider both has different benefits and loss and it is depends on the managerial decision. Different management has different view towards insider and outsider. I have choose to support promoting from within in this assessment is because that the research make me believe that promoting from within can increase productivity and employees satisfaction. I have provides three strong reason to support my personal view. Question 1 The first reason of promoting from within is good for morale. When the top management is decided to promote from within, the others employees are often very pleased because they...
