...Developing Good Business Sense By Michele Rowley BUS/210 5/12/2012 The three companies I have chosen for my observation of employment processes are Panera Bread, Wendy’s, and McDonalds. These are all fast food restaurants although Panera Bread has been coined the upscale of fast food. I feel that their business components are similar and will compare these in order to find out how they work the same as well as how they differ. Working in the food industry, I find that it is in my interest to compare similar companies and to observe how these businesses relate in terms of task completion and business operations. I feel that developing good business sense is a personal goal of mine because I work in a management position and believe it is beneficial to learn all aspects of a different business and how they each function. While they are all similar in the kind of industry they are in, these three companies do have processes that are different. At both Wendy’s and McDonalds the food service is relatively the same in terms of how they prepare and serve their food. A lot of the time the food is premade and kept warm waiting for an order. Some items are made to order. They both offer drive-thru service as well as dine-in. Employees work primarily in the back of the house and everyone functions from behind the counter. At Panera Bread the processes are slightly different in the sense that the employees are more hands on where...

He wanted by 2001 to make sure the company could make $20 million in revenues, and asked his mangers to develop a strategy on how this would need to be done.

From mid-2001 onward, the price of used cars fell back from approx. 118 to 80 as the price of new cars rose from 95 to 105. 2005, there were fluctuations in the price of used cars, but not in the price of new cars, eg in 2001 the price for used cars fluctuated between a high of approx 118 and a low of approx. 113, whereas the price index for new cars was Stable approx 95.also in modern times everybody want s the new big thing. If someone gets a used car people won’t as impressed but if you get a new car everybody will respect that and it will continue to rise. Also in 1998 it was gradually I believe that, that was the turning point. Before then people generally didn’t have as much money as people do now. If people have the money to buy a new car why wouldn’t they. 3.

...Private and public purchasers, health care organizations, clinicians, and patients should work together to redesign health care processes in accordance with the following rules: 1. Care based on continuous healing relationships. Patients should receive care whenever they need it and in many forms, not just face-to-face visits. This rule implies that the health care system should be responsive at all times (24 hours a day, every day) and that access to care should be provided over the Internet, by telephone, and by other means in addition to face-to-face visits. 2. Customization based on patient needs and values. The system of care should be designed to meet the most common types of needs, but have the capability to respond to individual patient choices and preferences. 3. The patient as the source of control. Patients should be given the necessary information and the opportunity to exercise the degree of control they choose over health care decisions that affect them. The health system should be able to accommodate differences in patient preferences and encourage shared decision making. 4. Shared knowledge and the free flow of information. Patients should have unfettered access to their own medical information and to clinical knowledge. Clinicians and patients should communicate effectively and share information. 5. Evidence-based decision making. Patients should receive care based on the best available scientific knowledge. Care should not vary illogically...

Babineaux Finance and Value Creation MBA6016 106 North Washington Street Lafayette, La. 70501 Telephone: 337 261-0263 Email: OBABINEAUX@capellauniversity.edu Instructor: Michael Blagg ARTICLE REVIEW FOR UNIT ONE 1 In this article, the author is letting the reader know that as a company grows globally the responsibilities and roles increase. The leaders of growing organizations have more planning and decision-making to do. These organizations that are global put an effect on those with financial opportunities in three principal areas: financing, risk management, and capital budget. CFO’s of organizations can reduce the overall financing caused by mixing the internal and external debt of affiliates in several countries. There’s an example of how money can be borrowed from one subsidiary with increased tax rates and loaned to subsidiaries with decreased tax rates. The author’s argument here is that global organizations have a tendency to use parent debt as a substitute for external debt and...

Franklin was a passionate businessman, who developed a strong business culture that cultivated continuous innovation, healthy living, and producing nutritional and wholesome food products. Due to these stimulating values, Renfield Farms grew from a local to a nationwide dairy supplier, known for its strong brands and ideals. However, after Franklin retired in 2002, the company began facing many difficulties. Renfield Farms’ successors were not as inspiring as Franklin and could not measure up to his leadership skills. Renfield Farms was obviously in bad shape due to declining sales and consumers losing trust in the company’s product brands. Something had to be done. Marie Jackson was an external hire, who was appointed as the company’s new CEO in 2013 in order to revitalize Renfield Farms’ unsatisfactory performance. Though a strong leadership with a great vision for the company, Jackson faced many oppositions, predominately overcoming employees’ resistance to change...

...This summer I needed a reliable source that I could enjoy and would help better my education at the same time. This source would have to have the capability of both holding and writing notes. as well as my leisure activities such as the internet and downloading. After researching on websites (futureshop.com) and reading flyers for Future Shop and Best Buy, I noticed that the marketing they were advertising was inadequate do to the fact that the price offered online and in the flyers was incorrect at the store or at most times out of stock. As well I felt that not every customer paid the same price. After conversing with a school mate about my lap top hunt I came to a realization that" it's not always what you know it's who you know". I would travel back and forth to both Future Shop and Best Buy for note books in stock, and each time a Sales persons would give me a price the next time I would return the price would have changed from employee to employee. As a customer I would have felt cheated paying my money at Future Shop or Best Buy knowing that another customer probably had gotten it for cheaper. I needed a company that put their customers first and not having commission as a first priority. I began to think of companies that have been around and have excellent quality products pre existing. After researching once again I noticed that Apple had exactly what I was looking for the customer first qualities, as well as an existing product, which is the I phone that I currently...
