Mr. Colangelo believed that an entrepreneurial spirit is key to success. One should be willing to take risks, and the most successful persons are risk takers.

...of business is to increase profit’. Businesses which follow this approach argue that it is not the duty of the business to be concerned about social welfare and indeed this may well detract from the primary means by which the company should be contributing to society; that is by operating in an efficient economic matter. Alternatively some businesses take the view that working cooperatively in an environment, paying attention to and contributing positively to environmental and community needs, creates a more sustainable operating situation for the long term pursuit if busines goals (such as profit maximisation) Cadbury’s is a good early exapmle of an organisation that held this view and much of today’s human resource models in the UK and Ireland owes a lot to the progressive policies of this organisation. Ideas that staff should be well treated; products should not be harmful and that the company should reinvest back into the society in which they operate has had clear benefits got organisation’s like Cadbury’s for over a century. There are different factors to consider that affect the importance placed on society’s welfare by the manager, and why they might choose to be interested in the well being of society at large; these considerations are: The economy and...

...going into. You will need to learn about the different laws and regulations, the different customer buying habits, and change your marketing strategies and materials to appeal to the new country you are entering. It is important to remember that the way you operate your business will be determined by culture of the market you are entering, not yours. It is important to understand the differences between domestic and international business but they should not inhibit your interest or drive for success internationally. Rather they should whet your appetite for success. Cultures No two cultures are the same and understanding both the social and business culture in another country is the first key to success. Culture defines everything a society does, from its business practices, to its response to advertising and marketing, to negotiating sales. It is important to include research on the culture of the country(s) that you intend to sell to prior to entering their market. Understanding these, often sensitive, areas will mean that you are better prepared when first entering the market. Although the people that you will deal with will not expect you to be completely in tune with the culture, respect and politeness will go a long way. Level of Competition The level of competition you will experience in foreign markets is likely to be more dynamic and complex than you experience in domestic markets. A good strategic tool to use to determine if you are able to compete in a particular...

...negatives in using CSR and promoting it using marketing depending on the consumers’ perceptions. It also finds that there exists an information asymmetry between producers and consumers in terms of CSR for their products. The paper supports previous ideas that CSR is useful in benefitting the company brand and value and that it can also be used to influence a consumer’s purchase decision of the cosmetics. INTRODUCTION In conceptual theory, CSR is how a company incorporates “social, environmental and economic issues into their values and business operations in a transparent and accountable manner” (FAITC, 2012). In simple terms, CSR is the actions that a company undertakes or doesn’t undertake during their business functions to benefit society and their stakeholders. There are many arguments for and against CSR and also differing views on whether it actually “pays” to undertake CSR. Friedman (1970) essentially argues that the only social responsibility that a business should undertake is to increase profits for the benefit of its shareholders and that CSR should be left to governing authorities that know best which social responsibilities to act upon. In contrast, Mintzberg (1983) argues that CSR is indeed important for corporations to undertake with...

...Consensual Relationship Agreement Jessie Spell Strayer University BUS 520 Dr. Russell 07/22/2012 My paper pertains to Consensual Relationship Agreements within the workplace. I will start by defining consensual. Consensual means involving or based on mutual consent (Webster 2001). What is a Consensual Relationship Agreement? The legal name is “Love Contract”, it first surfaced eight years ago during Clintons’ Presidency. During the argument for the use of CRA’s in the workplace, I will explain the pro’s for the agreement. The use of CRA’s will help address unwanted situations that may occur such as harassment, sexual advances, favoritism, and bullying. With the CRA policy in place and enforced there will be less room for mistakes. When you have encountered an individual that attracts you within the workplace guidelines must take precedence. There should be boundaries set to protect both employees due to possible break-ups. Putting a CRA into effect not only provides guidelines for the individuals in a relationship but also for the company and other employees. Some employees may see the CRA as a tool to prevent a hostile work environment. The reality is people in the workplace sometimes get involved. You can’t always pick and choose where you will find your true love. There could be relationships that blossom and develop into a totally happy romance. The workplace is a prime example. When you have a lot of other responsibilities, the workplace maybe your only other...

...Florida International University College of Business State Farm® Financial Literacy Lab http://www.business.fiu.edu/sffll 305-348-1542 Business Ethics 1 BUSINESS ETHICS An analysis of business ethics involves examining the principles and/or ethical problems that may arise a business environment context. Ethics in general is a philosophy that deals with values relating to people’s conduct when it comes to the rightness and wrongness of their actions, and the goodness and badness of the motives of such actions. This examination of people’s conduct is applied to business professionals conducting business activity when analyzing business ethics. Difference between “lawful” and “ethical” Many business professionals who are confronted with problems regarding their business activities will justify their decisions based on the legality of the ensuing actions. The fact that a particular action is legal might be enough for an individual to remove herself of any responsibility for negative consequences that might result. This leads to an incorrect thinking that because the legal systems allows it, unethical behavior cannot occur. “Lawful” does not always mean “ethical.” In 2006, Nike Inc. contracted with a supplier to make its soccer balls. The soccer balls were manufactured in Pakistan before they were sold to Nike, who would then market and sell the product worldwide. Many criticized Nike for its soccer balls being manufactured in Pakistan because child labor was being used...

...Name__________________________________ Period ___ Date __________________ 26.2 – A Society on the Move What social and economic factors changed American life during the 1950s? Between 1940 and 1960, 40 million Americans moved to the suburbs, one of the largest mass migrations in history. Rural regions suffered the most dramatic decline in population. Because few houses were built during the war, the U.S. had a severe shortage of urban housing. Newly married veterans who needed housing looked to the suburbs. Rural regions and older industrial cities suffered dramatic declines in population. At this time of peak demand, developers began to quickly build affordable housing. William Levitt became a leader in mass producing suburban homes. Entire rows of houses in Levittown were built using the same plan. Workers could build houses in weeks rather than months built three Levittowns—in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania—which became blueprints for other suburbs soon springing up across the country. Home buyers could use an installment plan, paying $58 a month towards the cost of the home. Levitt built three Levittowns—in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania—which became blueprints for other suburbs soon springing up across the country. Other developers adopted Levitt's techniques, and suburbs were soon springing up across the country. New home buyers received low‐interest home loans courtesy of the GI Bill of Rights and the Federal ...

...INDIVIDUAL LPO REPORT – PIRATE DEV When I started the LPO class at IE, one thing that clearly struck me was that how dependent are we to achieve our goals and vision. The IWWEG framework led me into thinking what I can do to achieve the visions that I have had since childhood. With this in my mind, I started working on a kind of a blueprint on my getting to that vision. Let me elaborate step by step. I – From the time I have come into existence in this physical dimension, my curiosity has been to understand why am I here? What did I come for? A long time was spent in understanding this existence. Did I come for just living and dying? Do I wake up everyday, have food, go to work, make money, make love, have kids, buy properties, become sick, and then die? Too depressive…this can’t be the reason for being here. There has to be something else. There has to be some purpose for which I have taken birth in this physical form. I now have realized that I would like to establish a co-operative mechanism, which would help people gain life skills that, would help them successful as leaders, husbands/wives, fathers/mothers, brothers/sisters etc. How do I achieve this? This leads to the next step. WE – Fortunately or unfortunately, we are dependent beings. Not just with other human beings but with everything around us. We need air to breather, the sun to give us life, water to drink, cows to give milk, animals to give us food. Every purpose in this world requires support from some...

...with organizational activity aimed at bettering the performance of individuals and groups in an organizational environment. Human resource training is of growing importance to companies seeking to gain an advantage among competitors. Training has an effect on both the employee and organizational goals. Forces at various levels influence changes in human resources strategies and directions. Those with the most direct effect include changes in the nature of the organization’s mission, work and overall policy direction. Other forces are internal to the organization itself (its culture, work organization and management style), while still others originate outside the organization and are related to the global economy and other changes in society.
