...1. I learned that, being an entrepreneur, you are required to take more risks than anybody else. Flying a plane with no direction is a constant casual situation in business. In this area of business, emotional breakdown and surprises are going to appear all the time. b. I think I earned the scores because majority of the trait that I lack are financial management. Managing my money has always been constantly a trouble for me. To be an entrepreneur, you have to be cautious on what you spend and what you purchase. Paying for mortgages , paying for rent and making key investment are some of the key examples of being a successful entrepreneur. However, I’m a big risk taker, and I’m very ambitious. Which are two of the biggest traits to be an successful entrepreneur. The reason why I like to take risk is not because I like to feel unpredictable; It is because, I believe taking calculated risks ,especially big calculated risks can increase your chance for your biggest profit. 2. My favorite entrepreneurs are Howard Schultz and Sam Walton. Both entrepreneurs are classical entrepreneurs, which they seek economics profit as the number goal in their business. Howard Schultz, he is creative, optimistic and excelling. His creativity led to the creation of more than 8000 different combination of Starbucks drink and machine that helped to save millions of dollars in his company. His creative design of Starbuck’s menu, space in the shop, store napkins to coffee bags, shows how...

...ORBH 250 Spring 2015 Prof. Learning Plan Part II ! As for the future three years before I enter labor force (since I plan to go to graduate school), the biggest thing I want to work on is to find what I really want to do in the future as my career. I am currently a sophomore majoring in Accounting and to be honest, I am not pretty sure about what I want to do for living As long as I am considering right now, there are three possibilities for me as for my career—work in an investment bank as an analyst, work as an author in china. As for being a author, the very first reason is that I love to express my opinions through languages. Indeed I started thinking about being an author when I was in my first year of undergraduate. I was mostly motivated by the book, The Seventh Day, written by Chinese famous journalist Hua Yu. In that book, He expresses his opinions about political, social and economical events though relating fictions life after the death of the main charter. Therefore, I was motivated by his several sentences, hoping to become an author so as to perform my own values in Chinese writing filed. The major difficulty so far that get in the way for me to be a an author here is still the language barrier. The reason is that I did not get the formal training for this. For now, I accept American education, and totally stop accepting any Chinese stuff. In addition, I spend lots of time working on do my Finance and Accounting class, so I don’t have more time to consider...

...semiconductor analyst, Peter Thompson, had abruptly announced his resignation; he had received an offer from one of RSH’s competitors. But Peter was not only a star analyst, he was also RSH’s only semiconductor analyst. This was certainly not a role that could be left vacant for long and, right now, RSH particularly needed strong coverage of the semiconductor industry because of an upcoming deal with the PowerChip company. (See Exhibit 1.) Stephen examined how much money Peter generated for the firm and saw that he could legitimately raise Peter’s compensation. Then he devised a backup plan: to split Peter’s team by encouraging Peter’s junior analyst, Rina Shea, to stay at RSH. Peter ended up leaving the firm and Stephen promoted Rina to senior analyst, assigning her to cover PowerChip and the rest of the semiconductor industry, at least temporarily, while he decided whether to offer her the position permanently or hire someone from outside the firm. Now Stephen faced the task of finding a permanent replacement for Peter. Should he make Rina a permanent offer or hire from outside? RSH Research Department RSH’s corporate culture was especially strong in its research division. Senior research analysts often began as junior analysts and remained at the firm long after the research director gave them their own franchises. Instead of competing with each other, most analysts at the firm supported one another; many had open-door policies and encouraged less-experienced analysts to consult...

...Baum, David Hughes, Sonia Meetha and Seth Horkum. Among all, my choice is Seth Horkum. There were several positive aspect which made him my first option such as his time management (being at interview before the schedule), his prior experience with PowerChip company (Upcoming client for RSH), his long term commitment (15 years of service @ Jefferson Brothers) which allows dependency and loyalty. With all the above aspects and the intelligence he exhibited in the interview makes him the best fit for the job. What problems does Stephen Conner face? When Stephen let Peter go, the biggest problem was to find the right replacement at the earliest. So the time was the key factor because it was the time when they were in need of a senior analyst to get started with the new client (PowerChip Company). Apart from that, he was facing a lot of concerns from the senior executives of the organization about his decision of letting Peter go. In fact they were more upset with his decision of making Rina who was an assistant to peter and joined the organization just 3 years ago as a substitute for Peter. What should Peter's replacement look like, and which of the candidates best fits this description? (Page 4) Peter was extremely intelligent and his analytical skills were superior. So if one has to replace Peter must be of the same cadre and fit into the same shoe. He was always and achiever and go getter. His priorities were time management, resource management and competency at work...
