...A Crew Member's View of Arby's, Inc. by Tavis X. Crayk In this paper I will be discussing my current employer, Arby's restaurant chain. I will cover a brief history of the company including its current business enivornment, the management structure, the operational and financial issues that I see as an employee of the company, and finally any potential changes that I see in Arby's future. As the low man on the totem pole of this fast food chain, I believe I have a unique perspective of the company. The goal of this paper is to provide that view to the reader. A subsidiary of Triarc Companies, Inc., Arby's Inc. is a leading global fast-food restaurant chain with more than 3,400 restaurants worldwide. Arby's is seperated in the fast-food industry by its menu, which features roast beef sandwiches. The chain expanded rapidly during the 1970s and 1980s by franchising. In 2014 the Arby's chain celebrated its 50th anniversary, and its corporate website currently boasts over $3 billion in system wide sales. Arby's brand originated from the brainstorm of brothers Leroy and Forrest Raffel. The Raffels operated a food-service equipment business in Youngstown, Ohio, in the early 1960s, and noticed the boom taking place in the fast-food industry. It had been only about ten years since Ray Kroc had purchased the national rights to franchise the McDonald hamburger operation, and Burger King was already jumping into the franchising game using a similar version of the...

...Functions of Management Milton Jones MGT 330 August 9, 2011 Yvonne Jordan Four Functions of Management The essential responsibility to any business lies in the hands of their managers. How these managers provide the planning, organizing, leading and controlling, reflects on the success of reaching company goals and continuing to maintain competitive advantage. Maintaining these four functions requires managers to form groups of employees who will help to complete each plan successfully. According to (Bateman, & Snell, 2007), “In the business world today, the great executives not only adapt to changing conditions but also apply—fanatically, rigorously, consistently, and with discipline—the fundamental management principles. These fundamentals include the four traditional functions of management: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. They remain as relevant as ever, and they still provide the fundamentals that are needed in start-ups as much as in established corporations. But their form has evolved.” Planning The very first function in the management process is known as planning. Basically, the determination of success or failure for any manager lies within each manager’s planning procedure. According to (Bateman, & Snell, 2007), “Planning is specifying the goals to be achieved and deciding in advance the appropriate actions needed to achieve those goals. Planning activities include analyzing current situations, anticipating the future, determining objectives...

...national boundaries as well as the spread of Information Technology (IT) and mass media presenting an ever-changing and competitive business environment. Two major limitations are observed in the treatment of the twin issues of the responses to the East Asian economic crisis and the coverage of the literature on globalization. While the response to the crisis has focused on macroeconomic aspects, the issue of globalization has been addressed predominantly in and with respect to the developed economies of Western Europe, North America and Japan. This paper is an attempt to address these two limitations. Since the human factor is the key in the new era of globalization (Hassan, 1992; Sims & Sims, 1995), the primary objective of this paper is to present a conceptual framework for effective management of human resources as a response to the growing interaction of globalization and business performance. Three central arguments are made in this paper. (1) That a growing body of evidence converge to suggest that changes taking place in the global business environment often are not accompanied by complementary changes in human resource management practices leading to a situation whereby the failure of some firms is due to the mismanagement of people rather than to problems with technical systems per se. (2) That this is because organizations have achieved relatively low levels...

...to erode or enhance value. Enterprise risk management enables management to effectively deal with uncertainty and associated risk and opportunity, enhancing the capacity to build value. This paper seeks to explain the ERM process, its history, approach and practice. 1.2 Summary of Enterprise Risk Management principle The ERM approach differs from the traditional risk management approach as the focus is placed on an enterprise-wide strategy. Meilbroek (2002) argues that in order to achieve integrated risk management, a company must review and assess all the risks that could potentially affect its value. This core principle of ERM ensures that senior managers' focus is engaged on the uncertainties around the company's entire asset portfolio. A second fundamental concept of ERM relates to the people that carry out and manage the process. Although ERM is the ultimate responsibility of the board of directors with the support of senior management, (i.e. a top-down process) it must be noted that in order for the approach to be enterprise-wide, every employee from every level of the organisation must support the framework. Without everyone's support into the process, the ERM infrastructure would be worthless. (Meilbroek 2002, 55 - 66) Furthermore, as discussed in Protiviti's bulletin paper (2006), companies will need to be aware that they will require to be open and flexible to change. The ERM initiative can change organisational behaviour with the need for "building awareness,...

...Effectiveness of Recruitment in Organizations Introduction Recruitment is a ‘linking activity' bringing together those with jobs and those seeking jobs. Companies are now looking out for new ways of giving themselves a competitive advantage. To define recruitment, it is a process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in an organization. It is often termed positive in that it stimulates people to apply for jobs to increase the selection ratio.
