...ADVICE TO DAN RAMIREZ AND SUSAN PERDORNA Corporate Governance, Financial Proposal and International Commerce For Small Business Kenya Wagner FIN/419 Mr. James Haigst January 19, 2015 Ramirez and Susan : It gives me immense pleasure to know that you are about to start up a new company. As far as corporate governance is concerned I will like to explain the three types which are as follows: 1. Anglo-American: Anglo-American is based on the objectives set by the company’s owners. The shareholders of the company are the primary stake holders to whom the organization is held accountable to. 2. Franco-German: This type of corporate governance is a collective entity that duties and responsibilities are toward the key stakeholders along with shareholders perceived to be one group of such stakeholders. 3. Japanese: There corporate governance is based on the network of the supplier and buyer companies, i.e., based on cross shareholding among members and their main banks. For you the first type of corporate governance, i.e., Anglo-American is more suitable because your family members are going to invest and their interest is of prime importance.

...Running head: COMMERCIAL CREDIT Commercial Credit Legal Environment of Management Commercial Credit Exchanging services and/or goods in exchange for the promise of future payment has been in existence for centuries. Loans were made as early as 1300 B. C. as securities for mortgages and advance deposits. The first use of open credit in America can be traced back to 1620 with the establishment of the first permanent colony in New England. The Pilgrims spent three years negotiating with England to raise funds for their journey. Soon, a wealthy London merchant struck a deal with the Pilgrims to fund their trip by lending them 1800 British pounds, which today would be equivalent of 2400 US dollars. The terms of this agreement were that all credit advanced and to be advanced would be paid in exchange for the Pilgrims to work for a term of seven years. At the end of the seven year term, payment in full would be made to the merchant, also known as a creditor, based on the size of the initial investment. At end of the seven year period the Pilgrims were unable to settle their debt in full with the England merchant. An alternate agreement was made in which the Pilgrims were required to pay 200 British pounds per year for a term of nine years until paid in full. Unfortunately this arrangement failed as well and was renegotiated. Finally after twenty-five years, the final payment was made to settle the debt in full. The history of this transaction is noted as the first...

...PART ONE Introducing The Contemporary Business World In the Opening Cases in Chapters 1 to 5, you will read about five situations that may seem to have little in common at first glance: Canadian megaprojects that focus on the extraction of oil and nickel, the importance of productivity for our standard of living, the unethical behaviour of some business managers, entrepreneurs starting new businesses, and the exporting of Canadian goods and services to other countries. All of these situations, and many more that are described in this text, have a common thread—they all demonstrate the key elements of business as well as the excitement and complexity of business activity. Each case tells a part of the story of our contemporary business world. Part One, Introducing the Contemporary Business World, provides a general overview of business today, including its economic roots, the environment in which it operates, the importance of entrepreneurship, the various forms of ownership of business firms, the globalization of business, and the ethical problems and opportunities facing business firms. ■ We begin in Chapter 1, Understanding the Canadian Business System, by examining the role of business in the economy of Canada and other market economies. We also present a brief history of business in Canada. Then, in Chapter 2, Understanding the Environments of Business, we examine the external environments that influence business activity. These include the economic, technological...

...property working together to create the 19th century legal basis for corporate philanthropy. In the first case, the company wanted to compensate employees due to job loss. Based on court rulings which would not be aligned with the concepts of CSR, the directors of the company should be more concerned with spending the company’s money solely for the purposes of business and that it should not be used for charity. In the second case however, the court’s decision would be more in line with CSR’s concept of social good where the purchase of land for a school, church and other social institutions would benefit the community in general. These cases highlight the ambiguity that is inherent in CSR’s definition in an attempt to distinguish between social good and protecting the interests of the company in relation to their employees. Business and Social Responsibility Based on observations made by Eberstadt (1973, cited by Carroll, 2008, pp. 19-46) the late 1800’s saw charters showing favoritism only to businesses that were socially useful. However, by the end of the Civil War charters were available under any business pretext, to...

...serve rather than rule. A sustainability leader of the 21st century has to have the ability to create a meaningful context out of the existing sustainability landscape. Sustainability is a broad notion that encompasses all aspects of our lives from economic to social and environmental actions. A number of ways to promote sustainability is infinite, and this vague plethora of contents is often the source of difficulty in raising awareness and participation in the movement toward sustainable future. It is therefore important for future leaders to recognise and provide innovative, sensitive, and meaningful sustainability possibilities. As an entrepreneur, leadership is the most important part of your job. But in a constantly changing business climate, you can't model yourself on leadership archetypes from the past and expect to meet the challenges of today's workplace. Barking orders at your subordinates a la the domineering 1950s boss won't get your staff on your side. And the buddy-buddy, hang-loose management style of the 1990s won't get results fast enough to keep pace with the competition. Some of the factors that make a great leader...
