...GB520 Unit 1 DQ Watch the Newsweek Video: http://kucourses.com/ec/media/store/trujillo/trujillo_18.wmv “Sol Trujillo, Chairman and CEO of Telstra.” Script from video: The primary issue is that people want to be challenged. People want to be challenged, at least initially, in terms of their assignments. They also want to be continuously challenged. If I have great success, I want to keep moving and I want more, which is always a good thing. I mean, I'm a free-market person. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool, free-market person, and if employees can deliver results and they can help change the game, I think that is a big achievement for young people. This helps them meet their desires to be challenged in a work environment. There is one more dimension, and that is, in today's workplace, young people come out and they want to do meaningful work. It is about creating companies where you eliminate wasted time, and you eliminate things that do not add value so that people really do spend their time doing things that they feel are valued in the market, valued by them personally, and also valued by your shareholders. You are required to watch the video and take notes. You will post your response to the following question, and then participate with the instructor and your classmates to share insights and opinions.

...COSTCO ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS 1. What is Costco’s business model? Is the company’s business model appealing? Why or why not? Costco operates on a low-cost business model, which is extremely successful for them. They strive to keep their customers coming back by providing them with the lowest possible prices every time. They also focus on providing their customers with products they will actually want and will buy. This is a very appealing business model because since they run on a membership fee and because of their extremely fast turnover rates, they know that they will be financially stable for a while. We can also see that their business model is effective based on their financial statements, so we know that whatever they are doing is working for them as a company. 2. What are the chief elements of Costco’s strategy? How good is the strategy? The chief elements elements of Costco’s strategy include: low-cost, providing their customers with active items, limited selections of brands, “treasure hunt experience” and company expansion. I believe that because of their super low prices, they make a large amount of their money from the membership fees, without that they might not be nearly as profitable. However, because of the treasure hunt experience, geographical expansion, and product selection they do have a good strategy and allows them to be successful. 3. Do you think Jim Sinegal has been an effective CEO? What grades would you give him in leading...

...Business Law & Ethics Ethics Essay Case 2.1 – Ethical Application, “Who Comes First” (p94-95, Moral Issues in Business) Business Law & Ethics Individual Assignment – Who Comes First WHO COMES FIRST Fred Higgins was presented with a moral dilemma that is common to many leaders in today’s ever-changing market place. Restructuring like his firm was facing follows poor sales or strong competition, leading to a need to cut costs and fast. Reducing the staff from 23 down to 15 was a Head Office requirement, which brought with it some personal dilemmas. While the situation was nothing unusual, it meant that Fred was forced to make strategic decisions on who went and who stayed, so that his own job would survive a recent downturn. Some organisation changes are driven by large scale transformations, some by a need to meet new market challenges or to save human resources cost, as organisational leaders look to stretch the funding dollar further. Organisational Development is now a term in Human Resources, where strategic human resources for a business are analysed carefully as part of strategic planning. Fred Higgins dilemma is one that can keep some managers awake at night, as they try to decide who should stay and who should go. The weight of the restructuring decision rests heavy on their conscience, if they like the people they work with. It seems that Sol Manning, Fred’s general manager, was delegating the difficult task in a non-emotional way...

...Costco Case Analysis Assignment # 1 Mark Frenkel MGMT 670 9046 02/21/11 Jim Sinegal initially took a job at Fed -Mart as a means to pay his bills while attending San Diego Community College never imaging that this decision would forever change the direction of his life. It was there that he met Sol Price, who ran the company and who mentored his further inclusion in the business. Sol had a vision that he acted on when he founded his Price Club with the goal of establishing a member warehouse retailing niche business. Having embarked on this path, he took Jim with him and they shared a vision for shaping how they would do business going forward. Initially, Price was content in becoming a leader in member warehouse retailing until he correctly recognized an opportunity to gain more sales volume and greater negotiating leverage with suppliers by granting membership to individuals which arguably created the market for deep-discount warehouse clubs. Sinegal excelled at understanding the driving elements in this type of marketing and became particularly adept at understanding what was working and what wasn’t at stores, which was something that Price was also very good at. Noticing these burgeoning skills, Price made him the manager of the original store. It was here that Sinegal learned the craft at the hands of his mentor, a task he did so with such skill that he decided to leave the proverbial nest and team up with Seattle-based...
