...CH 8 Case Assignment Saint Leo University Courtney Wrinkles-Hall 18 November 2012 You are an intelligent businessman with knowledgeable colleagues. I believe that the analysis is correct due to the simple fact that the investment in farmland will create profit in itself. There are a few factors beyond the surface that you must analyze as well. You must create value and capture value as your first sep to profit. Additionally, since you are aware that rivalries will come, you must find a way to diversify your production with superior assets. If your rivals can see your processes and copy them, profits will decrease. You may capture value if you discover a particular asset that allows for greater productivity that your rivals cannot copy. Since there is a limited amount of good farmland for producing corn, there is potential for a small group of large supplies. This will allow for the group (even if they are competitors) to increase profits. Typically these firms realize their mutual dependence and refrain from cutthroat competition. On the contrary there is potential for the buyers to be few and dictate prices and decrease profits. Last, since you are not a knowledgeable farmer, it will be imperative that you surround yourself with the most knowledgeable personnel. As you develop a unique teambuilding concept that increases productivity, this will set you apart and propel you into success. You should conduct your own analysis based off this information. If you believe...

What differences exist within the firm that make the link between decentralization and efficiency less clear? Decentralization is the cycle of dispersing or reconfiguring powers, functions people or things away from a central location or authority. While centralization, especially in the governmental landscape, is widely practiced and then studied, there is no similar understanding or definition of decentralization.

There are several different types of concepts of decentralization have been applied to science and also to group dynamics in private organizations and businesses, political science, public administration and allowed along with technology and economics. Efficiency on the other had is an accomplishment of or will or God given talent to accomplish a job with a minimum effort and also of your time.

...Michael Wegner Business Administration, Saint Louis University Personal Statement When asked why I think a Masters Degree in Business Administration from Saint Louis University is right for me I like to think of myself as a rope that has been pulled back and forth by two different ends. Although this seems to have a negative connotation at first it has actually been a necessary process that now has provided me with clear goals for my future. The individuals pulling the opposite ends of the rope were my parents. My father is the Vice President of Taxes for a fortune 500 company and my mother is a bariatric dietitian that also runs her own health and wellness business. It was almost a movie scene in which my dad rested on one shoulder and my mom on the other. My dad would always say “Mike there will always be jobs in business, especially accounting” while my mom always persuaded me to do what I was truly passionate about and reminded me that the money would fall into place. Although my passion for personal fitness was growing rapidly as I finished up my days in high school athletics I still decided to take the “safe” route of accounting. While I had success in my introductory business classes after the semester ended I decided to focus on what I’m truly passionate about and changed my degree to nutrition and fitness. One aspect of my life stayed consistent while I was trying to figure out my academic path, my involvement in Kappa Alpha Order. I joined this fraternity as a...

...Science. I was born in India and immigrated to the US at the age of 5. I have been in St. Louis since. Throughout my years at SLU, I’ve managed to maintain a 3.57 GPA. This past summer, I had the opportunity to intern at Anheuser-Busch InBev as an IT Specialist. After successful completion of the tasks allotted, I was given a full-time offer. Hence, after successful completion of my degree in June, I will be working there full-time. My career aspiration is to go into management; therefore, I hope to be back at SLU, pursing a Master’s degree in Business Administration in the near future. My second career aspiration, credited to the missions and values of Saint Louis University, is to serve the community. Mohammed Ali once said, “Service to others is the payment you make for your space here on earth.” As the Saint Louis University community and donors like you have given me the opportunity to make my dream into a reality, my career goal is to participate in volunteering opportunities and give back to the SLU community. Your financial generosity has allowed me to be one step closer to my goal and has inspired me to help others by giving back to the community. I hope one day I will be able to help other students achieve their goal just as you have helped me. Thank you, again, for your generous donation....

...strategic vision development undertaken by St. Ambrose University. What are the potential opportunities and challenges to such an endeavour? A strong vision for an organization is essential as it can change a direction of company in a short and long run. Effective vision statement consists of core value which will indicate the purpose of existence of an organization. Without a proper communication to all the relevant parties, it will be difficult to make the vision an achievable reality. Communication breakdown can be a disaster as it will divert the direction and the purpose of the vision. Vision also sets the objective that need to be achieved in future, with the direction that has been set as target/goal. Most important is, to ensure that the progression and development of a vision is being monitored for a continuous improvement. Sally’s case study is a very good example of strategic vision development where St. Ambrose University have decided to align 3 main focus area in order to a have clearer direction in a long run to attract the stakeholders and promotes the culture, thus increases the reputation of the University.

...Saint Leo University: Human resource management (HRM) as related to international business MBA 575: Global Business Management Karen Coradin August 17, 2014 Abstract Saint Leo University, founded in 1899, is a higher education institution located in the state of Florida. The University bases itself on its Benedictine tradition, and prides itself on a set of core values which are included in the institution’s mission statement. Although international business and trade is composed of various, vital elements, human resource management plays a major role in such transaction. Efficient HRM is essential for the success of any business both domestically and internationally. This research paper will address the institution’s human resource management (HRM) practices and policies on how these could be implemented or altered if Saint Leo University were to ever expand its services to Latin America. Furthermore, the paper will thoroughly analyze how Saint Leo University’s core value and mission statement is implemented in both domestic and international HR policies and procedures. Human resource management (HRM) can be defined as a set of strategic policies and procedures implemented by an organization in regards to employee’s management, performance, benefits, and success. By this, organizations and businesses can implement strategic HRM policies and procedures that best fits their needs and wants. In recent years, companies have expanded their services and production to foreign...

...Running head: A Comparison A Comparison of Ethical Values Kevin R. Fields (0817105) Saint Leo University Class ID: 2449406 Class Name: 2008FallTerm1 Ethical behavior and definable core values is the cornerstone of any profession. The Profession of Arms, or to be more specific, the United States Air Force, has a set of core values that govern every aspect of being a professional airman. The medical community, to include psychology, has ethical standards and general principles of conduct that governing interaction with each other, sub-specialties within the field, and with the patients they serve. Institutions of higher learning have basic values intended to be impressed upon students through every aspect of their educational experience. The purpose of this paper is to compare the Core Values of Saint Leo University to those of the American Psychological Association. By doing so, I will demonstrate the similarities between the professional ethics of the practicing Psychologist and those of the student enrolled at Saint Leo University. The 2002 Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct of American Psychological Association (APA) establishes behaviors and standards for the profession of psychology. The five General Principles outlined in this document serve as a value system intended to inspire psychologists toward the highest ideals of the profession (APA Ethics Code, 2002). Listed below are the five General...

...content, and can avoid these areas. Respect and Community are two of six, of Saint Leo’s core values. Smokers should respect the non-smokers in the community, and be aware of where they smoke. The solution to this problem is to have designated smoking areas on campus because it will benefit both smokers and nonsmokers. Smoking has been around for generations. Saint Leo can’t just say no to students not smoking on campus. This would anger many students as well as facility members. Many people use cigarettes to cope with stress throughout the day. Now this isn’t a healthy choice, but life and their habit, something we should all try to respect. If Saint Leo said absolutely no smoking on campus, teachers and students would be more sneaky about smoking and as well as having to go off campus just to smoke. With designated smoking areas strategically placed around campus, teachers and students can have the best of both worlds. Smokers will not have to go of out their ways to smoke a cigarette, and non-smokers can easily avoid these areas. The non-smokers will have to slightly adjust their commute to their various destinations around campus. They wouldn’t have to deal with the problem of walking through cigarette smoke or having the chance to encounter it as well. This also will have a positive look on Saint Leo as well. When people come visit the university or high-ranking officials come evaluate the university,...
