...Chick-Fil-A Training and Development Thomas Hunter Clifton Norton Matthew Todd Keller Graduate School of Management Chick-Fil-A Training Needs Assessment And Recommendations Chick-Fil-A opened its first store in Atlanta, Georgia in 1967. It has continued to grow at a steady pace and now has over 1,700 locations across the United States. The popular restaurant has recorded 45 consecutive years of positive sales growth and, “System-wide sales in 2012 reached 4.6 billion.” (Company Fact Sheet, 2014). Chick-Fil-A is still a private, family owned company that offers franchise opportunities to well qualified entrepreneurs. Their growth model is deliberately slow, building on a firm foundation of conservative business practices. The success is attributed in part from the founder’s firm decision to close its doors every Sunday. The idea is that “…all franchised Chick-fil-A Operators and their Restaurant employees should have an opportunity to rest, spend time with family and friends, and worship if they choose to do so.” (Why We’re Closed on Sundays, 2014). The focus for this project is on the Chick-Fil-A store located at 7990 North Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO. This location is used for many of the pilot programs that test the suitability of new procedures and equipment before chain-wide implementation. During an interview with the Director of Training, Brad Beck said about his training philosophy, “99 percent of a successful training program is fitting...

Many people protested against the boys containment, including famous musicians from around the world. In 2007, with new technology, DNA evidence was recovered that showed the boys had no link to the case whatsoever. (Weinstein, “Lawyers file DNA motion in Cub...

...ure CHAPTER- 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 NEED FOR BANKS With the increase in population and trust of people in the banks, the banks started to perform many other functions to facilitate the different sectors of economy in addition to their basic functions of accepting deposit and lending money. Because of expansion in banking business, it became very difficult for banks to perform the entire functions just under one roof. So the banking experts decided to divide the banks according to their importance and functions. 1.2 TYPES OF BANK 1) Chartered Bank: These are the banks, which are established by the order of king (Royal Order). They perform the same functions like other commercial banks or the function which are laid down in their charter. For instance, Chartered Bank of England. 2) Banks according to registration: i) Scheduled Banks These are the banks, which are registered in the list of central bank. They are bound to follow the instructions and policies of central bank. For instance, United bank, Allied bank, MCB bank etc. ii) Non-scheduled Banks These are the banks, which are not registered in the list of central bank. They are not bound to follow the instructions and policies of central banks. 3) Banks according to ownership: i) Government Banks These are the banks, which are owned by central or provincial government of any country. The government is responsible to frame and control the policies of these banks and it has also right to receive all benefit and...

...Collaboration Is the Key to Success For companies to achieve the big benefits RFID technology offers, they will need to work with supply chain partners. The time to start? Now. By Bob Violino Jan 16, 2005—By Mark Roberti Now that the EPC is being adopted by leading retailers in the United States and Europe and by the U.S. Department of Defense, collaboration has become critical. Many of the big benefits EPC offers—cutting out-of-stocks, slashing inventory throughout the supply chain, reducing counterfeiting, and automating shipping and receiving—can be achieved only if companies work together, share data and develop standardized business processes. But there are obstacles to collaboration, including competing corporate agendas, competitive issues and cultural inhibitions about sharing information. The companies that overcome them will likely benefit most from EPC technology. “You can optimize your operation within your own four walls and achieve some efficiencies, but collaboration is the key to getting some of the bigger benefits that EPCpromises,” says Bob Mytkowicz, manager of customer, order, and logistics systems for Gillette in North America. By far the biggest benefit for both retailers and manufacturers is reducing the number of times a product is not on the shelf when a customer comes in to buy it. Linda Dillman, Wal-Mart’s CIO, says knowing what’s in the back of the store is the single most important type of information her company will get fromRFID, because...

...The People You Meet In College THE 1 HIT WONDER You will never hear this guy/girl ever say anything, whether it be to other students or the professor. Then one day, after looking extremely intense or constipated for an hour straight, they will say something so gloriously insightful that it will bring tears to the eyes of everyone who bears witness to it. Then they will never speak again. THE KID THAT NO-ONE LIKES This kid is a jerk! And for arguments sake let’s call him “DANNY.” You desperately want to punch him in his ear, but he’s disabled. And because he disabled he makes sure to make EVERYONE mad. This kid will sometime attempt to befriend you then manage to say or do something so unspeakably rude or offer some sort of backwards compliment. Parties disassemble whenever this guy manages to find his way to one. Everyone avoids him but secretly watches him to see if he will lose a crutch while walking or roll down the stairs just to get in a good chuckle. THE SUBURBAN RAPPER The Suburban Rapper can be found in any common area, listening to his own music on his IPOD at an unreasonable volume. Generally (but not always) white, he awkwardly uses the words Dog, Crib, Homie, Phat, G, or Ill. If he spots you, he’ll ask you to “peep this new track yo,” or attempt to sell you tickets to his concert. His music is generally unbearable, and if you’re lucky, you can get away with only hearing a few verses. He always seems surprised that his poser antics never land him a girl...

Most of the people I know do contemplate how the mind works, but only when their mind lets them down. They contemplate memory (“Why can’t I find my keys?”), attention (“I want to find my keys, so why can’t I concentrate?”), and vision (“How could I not see my keys when they were right in front of me the whole time?”). Questions such as “How does vision work?” seem somewhat interesting, but no more interesting than thousands of other questions. It’s like someone asking you whether you want to know about the history of guitar making. “I don’t know; maybe. Is it interesting?” Truthfully, “How...

From the Library of Yuri Khan Praise for More Effective C++: 35 New Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs “This is an enlightening book on many aspects of C++: both the regions of the language you seldom visit, and the familiar ones you THOUGHT you understood. Only by understanding deeply how the C++ compiler interprets your code can you hope to write robust software using this language. This book is an invaluable resource for gaining that level of understanding. After reading this book, I feel like I've been through a code review with a master C++ programmer, and picked up many of his most valuable insights.” — Fred Wild, Vice President of Technology, Advantage Software Technologies “This book includes a great collection of important techniques for writing programs that use C++ well. It explains how to design and implement the ideas, and what hidden pitfalls lurk in some obvious alternative designs. It also includes clear explanations of features recently added to C++. Anyone who wants to use these new features will want a copy of this book close at hand for ready reference.” — Christopher J.

This is a statutory class—Before reading each section in the textbook, read the code to get a flavor of what it contains. b. Also, read the regulations to get a flavor of what it contains. c. Then, go back and read the code and the regulations after being taught. 2. In tax, everything is income—Then you exclude some thing to get an adjusted income—Then you take deductions to figure out taxable income. II. Identification of Income Subject to Taxation: A. Gross Income: The Scope of Section 61: 1. We need a definition of income because of due process concerns—We need a law that everybody recognizes. 2. WHAT IS INCOME? a. §61 defines gross income as “all income from whatever source derived.” 1) §61 lists 15 specific items that are considered income. b. Cesarini v. United States: The Cesarinis found $4,467 in cash in a used piano purchased by them. 1) The court held that the found money is taxable as ordinary income in the year in which the taxpayer attains uncontested possession of it. 2) INCOME: Treasure Trove: It is considered income in the year that it is reduced to undisputed possession. ...
