...2013 Howard Johnson: Entrepreneur It is said that necessity is the mother of all inventions. While I found this to be true after reviewing the list of entrepreneurs that I put together, I decided to choose Howard Johnson. I wouldn’t say that his invention was born out of necessity but I still find myself liking his product and his story as well as sharing his love of ice cream! His humble beginnings and “go-getter” spirit personify the American Dream and round out the reasons why I admire him as an entrepreneur. The text defines an entrepreneur as a risk taker and someone who seeks out a profitable opportunity. I find the risk taker portion of this definition to be the true spirit of an entrepreneur and what separates the men from the boys, if you will. I’m sure that people before Howard Johnson or even during his time had similar ideas but he did it. Johnson decided to move forward with his idea, his vision, and make it a reality. I admire entrepreneurs because they can take an idea and make it something more than scribbles on a piece of paper. I find several similarities with Howard Johnson in that we both came from backgrounds of working to help our families as well as restaurant work. I admire the fact that even though he barely had an elementary school education, he was able to be a successful business man. I highly value education so this is the one point where I feel he could have potentially been more successful. In his early twenties, Johnson bought a drugstore...

...Laura Lynn Johnson Saleha Ashfaq Women Who Kill April 25, 2011 Divorce is not only a legal breakup of a marriage, but also the end of an emotional and intimate connection between two people. However, some do not accept their spouse’s unfaithfulness in such a courtly fashion. Laura Lynn Johnson was accused of murdering her attorney husband who wanted nothing but a simple divorce. But Laura did not want to let go of him so easily. Lloyd Johnson was rushed to the hospital on September 20, 2010; he was thought to be suffering from a severe heart attack. However, a heart attack did not explain what the police found on the scene of murder. Lloyd was confirmed dead on September 22, 2010. On September 20, help arrived to the Johnsons’ home after getting a call about a man who had trouble breathing and rectal bleeding. The Farmington Hills fire lieutenants recall walking upstairs through a clutter-filled-home and finding Lloyd Johnson sitting on the toilet, naked and unresponsive. They immediately noticed the bleeding wound on Lloyd’s lower back and assumed it to be the cause of his current critical condition. Lloyd was an obese, weighing over 430 pounds. It took more than five emergency workers to bring him down the stairs and into the ambulance. Initially, he was believed to be experiencing a heart attack. Lloyd Johnson, a respected attorney, a father of five, and a long time diabetic was well known around the community as both successful and arrogant. Lloyd Johnson referred...

...Johnson & Johnson relies on decentralized management system and its autonomous operating subsidiaries to compete in high-competitive health care markets. The planning and control system has benefits and detriments. The system creates a decentralized culture which is necessary for their success. The center of the control function is the Executive Committee comprising the chairman, president, chief financial officer, vice president of administration, and eight Executive Committee members with responsibilities for company sectors. In some ways, each subsidiary reports to a member of the Executive Committee. However, each company develops its own plans and strategies. In addition, those strategic plans remain fixed over a five-year period. Therefore, the managers are not only effectively delegated but also strongly accountable for their actions. They set their targets by themselves. Then, they move toward the goals based on their own decisions. So, there is no excuse for them to miss the objectives. That’s why Roy Black states that decentralized management is “unequivocal accountability for what you do.” Five- and Ten-year plans at Johnson & Johnson let them have long-term views and learning opportunities. It is in the fast-moving, complex, high competitive health care businesses. It is hard to make a prediction for the future and so the view point is likely to be short-tem focus. It might have adverse effect on long-term corporate performance. At Johnson & Johnson...

...JOHNSON & JOHNSON: A CASE STUDY ON SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING When compiling data for its sustainability reports, Johnson and Johnson does not request direct input from its managerial accounting staff. What should be the role of management accountants in collecting and reporting sustainability data? Could Johnson & Johnson’s sustainability reporting be improved with input from managerial accountants? Why or why not? The role of the managerial accounting staff in sustainability should extend beyond the obvious one of collecting, analyzing and reporting sustainability-related information. Many accountants fill a variety of other positions within organizations, including senior management, in which they exert a more direct influence on strategy and decision making. The managerial accounting staff has a role to play in understanding, demonstrating and achieving the efficiencies that organizations can gain from sustainable business practices. The pursuit of sustainability depends on the generation, analysis, reporting and assurance of robust and accurate information (both financial and non-financial). But it is important that the managerial accountants gain an understanding of the concepts of sustainability and the challenges it poses in achieving long term growth in shareholder value or value for money. The accountanting staff, directly or in a supportive capacity, can help organizations embed sustainability issues into strategic planning and its execution...
