At Family Futbol, our knowledgeable support staff is available online 24 hours a day 7 days a week to help each member of the family make their dreams of owning official quality fan favorite Futbol gear a reality. The idea of starting Family Futbol began as a shared love of the sport between a young couple. Together, a partnership was formed that allowed both individuals to contribute skills, resources, and passion for the sport into a thriving business that would be embraced my communities across the country. Each partner brings a specialty to the table in addition to the initial investment of money and resources; as the only two shareholders they stand to achieve wealth as the business thrives yet share accumulated loss should the business fail....

...understand how the concept of organizational behavior can be applied and described through the work environment of My Company, I will first explore a general definition of what Organizational Behavior is and then relate how the individual components apply. According to Stephen Robbins, author of our Organizational Behavior textbook, "Organizational behavior is a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups, and structure have on behavior within organizations for the purpose of applying such knowledge toward improving an organization's effectiveness"(9). The first component of this definition is to see the impact that the individuals have, followed by the impact of the groups, and then finally the impact of the structure. I will expand on each of these areas and relate them to the current practices within My Company. It is probable that the single most prevalent aspect of organizational behavior through the eyes of an employee would be the impact that they personally have on the company. What this implies, is that when I try to describe the impact individuals have to the company, it will be solely from my perspective as a non-managerial employee. Had my perspective been from that of an employee in a management-level position, it would most likely differ. From the experiences that I have had in the two and a half years that I have worked at My Company, it seems to me that individuals are encouraged to take the initiative to make their work as productive as possible...

...Kimberly Tucker, Chris Salt, Ashley Solomon Case 7: Mattel: Overcoming Marketing and Manufacturing Challenges 11/01/2010 Marketing Management 6800 Section 004 The Problem: The problem surrounding Mattel Inc., one of the world’s largest toy companies, is their mismanagement of international subcontractors and vendors and the production of certain toys (the manufacturing process), as well as their inability to adapt their marketing strategy or product to the constantly changing “demographic and socioeconomic trends” (Ferrell, et. all 466). This is supported by Mattel’s legal battle with Carter Bryant and MGA, their forced recall of certain toys that were manufactured overseas, and the increasing rate at which traditional toys are becoming less appealing to today’s young audience. Essentially, Mattel’s mismanagement and oversight lead to violations in terms of ethical and social responsibilities and safety standards. Issues Relevant to the Problem: Mattel’s problem of mismanagement can be divided into several issues that need to be considered: legal issues, international supply chain issues, and an increase in technology-based toys. In regards to legal issues, Mattel has been involved in prolonged litigation with Carter Bryant and MGA over a breach of an employment contract and copyright infringement. Due to Mattel’s poor management of its overseas manufacturers, in which unauthorized subcontractors and third-party suppliers were hired and unsafe materials used, several...

Also I think I am so lucky that I have got opportunity to study in UK in (business management), so when I go to holiday in my country I feel too unhappy when I make comparison between United Kingdom and Bangladesh which is a developing country. However in this situation I always try to share my knowledge, idea, or try to create a new strategy for helping them also if I get a little success from it I feel too pleased by myself. So I believe, I feel too comfortable when I got chance to help someone or working as a team member. As I am working in BP, too many times we have to fall in critical situation in the store such as sometimes the electric power supply has been cut, heavy snow fallen, and fuel spillage and to handle those situation I did contact with my manger and made a group...

...that I am here, I chose to live this way. My name is Gabriel, I am twenty-eight years old. The Wahiba Sands became my home five weeks ago.... I used to be wealthy, with a family, I even owned the largest law firm in the united states. I used to be happy, and filled to the breaking points with love, and life. Until my company that I spent every penny, and every ounce of me on, fell under. My deep black hair began to turn a grey color. We started losing cases, and with a rising rate of failure came the rising debt. The company was going to crash, and I knew. A few months later, the bank came around to take the firm out of my hands. I made a horrible decision, I went to the bank that all of the pension money was stored. I emptied all of the accounts, and carried the money out of the bank in bags. As I was leaving I called my wife, and told her and my son Adrian to pack their things and get ready to leave the country, and that I would explain when I got home. I pull into the driveway, and see my wife standing outside the house. Frantically I told her what just happened. “Gabriel what on earth are you trying to do?!” she exclaimed. “Please just get in the car, I don’t have time. I need to leave, if you wait any longer I’ll have to leave without you and Adrian.” I proposed. She stood, unmoved, and with an unchanged mind. I knew what that meant. I walked into the house that I would no longer call mine, and followed the wide hallways to my young son’s room. “Dad where are you...

...when visiting their website or purchasing a product online. By assuring parents that their children’s privacy will be respected, Mattel demonstrates that that is takes its responsibility of marketing to children very seriously. They are also responsible for product safety, quality, protecting the environment, customs, evaluation and monitoring and compliance. Mattel’s business partners must have high standards for product safety and quality, adhering to practices that met Mattel’s safety and quality standards, which have been seriously violated in the past. Also, because of the global nature of Mattel’s business and its history of leadership in this area, the company insists that business partners strictly adhere to local and international customs laws. Partners must comply with all import and export regulations. The company also seeks to maintain an independent monitoring system that provides checks and balances to help ensure that standards are met. If certain aspects of Mattel’s manufacturing principles are not met, Mattel will try to work with contractors to help them fix their problems. New partners will not be hired unless they meet Mattel’s standards. If corrective action is advised but not taken, Mattel will terminate its relationship with the partner in question. Overall, Mattel is committed to both business success and ethical standards, and it recognizes that it is part of a continuous improvement process. Mattel also has some responsibilities to the children that...

...complex mix of both, however I feel that the majority of our habits and personalities come from the world around us. The reason I feel this way is because when I was seven my parents’ divorced. Both have gotten remarried and my dad and step-mom now have a child of their own. Emily is turning five next May, and has had a very different childhood than I did. Even as a four year old, I can tell that her personality is very different from mine. If genetics had played a bigger role than the environment, why wouldn’t she have been more like I am? I feel that because she grew up in a different house, with a different mom, and in a different school, she will grow up to be completely different from me. Emily looks similar to me because of genetics, but her personality is all because of her environment that she grew up in. I also think that the time period she grew up in, while similar to mine, completely altered how her personality is as well. When I was younger I was allowed to go down the street to play with kids on my block, and nowadays kids have scheduled activities to fill up their day, and the world is too dangerous a place to allow children to go anywhere by themselves anymore. For the most part, I am a relaxed person that can just go with the flow. I don’t need to be doing something every minute of the day. My sister, however, constantly needs to be watching tv, or be with someone. She is very short tempered and if something doesn’t go her way she can’t handle the situation anymore...

...June 28, 2015 Amanda Laster-Loftus Psychology for Life In life stress is everywhere, and we face it every day. Stress is handled at work wither it is a co-worker or customer, and we have to handle it appropriately to ensure our stress levels stay neutral. Stress is also encountered at home because of finances, relationships, and family. Most people do not handle stress well, but I think it is important to understand where your stress comes from, so that you can handle it accordingly. When I took my stress test I knew that I would not be happy with my score, so I was not surprised at all. I am a very high strung individual, and I am always in a hurry. I also take things to heart, so at previous jobs when people got upset with me or the company it upset me also. My stress assessment showed me that I am on the verge of major stress problems. It let me know that I need to slow down, and probably could use some quiet time for myself. I could also channel my stress into something productive. Stress impacts our bodies in different ways when we handle stressful situations like work, or good situations like winning an award. Stress effects the body by triggering the fight or flight response which in normal doses can improve performance. (Kotz 2008) When the body becomes stressed the hypothalamus tells the adrenal glands to release adrenaline or cortisol. Once the stress goes away the body releases hormones that tells it to go back to normal. The body also can be affected...

...structure can be defined as a geographic structure, in which divisions are created to support the needs of customers in a particular region, country, or world area. (Jones: Introduction to Business: How Companies Create Value for People) Walmart as we know it here in the United States operates in a number of different countries under numerous names, all the same corporation. Walmart consists of three main business divisions. These include Wlamart United States, Walmart International, and Sam’s Club. These main divisions are the core of its’ organizational structure. From these divisions leadership and management is then regionally developed and divided into regions of each division all the way down to store managers. The headquarters of this nearly billion dollar corporation still lies in the state of Arkansas where it was began, which would make Walmart United States the top division of the three. This organizational structure is for a global, publically shared company that is seemingly only profiting more with time. A smaller company such as a hometown car dealership would operate under a much different organizational structure. Most of them in my area are family owned and operated, which would reflect on the matrix structure more than anything. One head CEO of the small company in my hometown is in charge of the whole thing....

...Lead with respect, not with power. Throughout my Global Lead experience, I learned a lot about what a global citizen is and how to become a better one. I also learned a lot about myself and who I am as a person and leader and also how I lead my life. I believe a global citizen is one who is aware of what is happening around the world; one who genuinely cares and is curious, and one who has the desire to help in any way possible. When I first arrived in Greece and we talked about being a mindful traveler, I realized that I had never even thought about that. I realized that even when people visit America, I am not mindful of their culture. My Global Lead experience really made me realize that I never really took the time to learn other cultures and what was happening outside the United States. The only things I really ever knew about other countries were the things that affected America. I wasn’t even aware that I was not being a global citizen. Being a global citizen means to be aware of things going on outside your country and to try and help in any way possible, even if it is something simple like supporting another countries product. The Greece culture is so beautiful and full of history. The people are so nice and courteous to visitors, especially us when we visited. Almost everyone there knew English, which really surprised me because I am not fluent in any other languages. The fact that pretty much everyone spoke our language showed me a good example of global citizenship...
