...Case Study: The Body Shop Australia Having long led the way with socially and environmental responsible beauty and cosmetic products, The Body Shop Australia wanted to show leadership in combating climate change through the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its own business operations. With more than 80 stores nationwide, together with a large central head office and warehouse, the emissions from electricity use and transport were expected to be substantial and the Body Shop wanted to develop programs to reduce this. But you can't change what you can't measure, and they did not have any idea of what their carbon footprint actually was. Enter Jen Orange, Green Steps student at Monash University. Guided by national protocols and workbooks, Jen developed a spreadsheet for The Body Shop to capture relevant data and to calculate emissions on an ongoing basis. An inventory guidance document was also developed to transparently document the calculations and assumptions made. Based on her work, Jen was able to calculate the first ever carbon footprint and inventory for The Body Shop Australia and identify a number of opportunities to manage carbon and reduce emissions. She estimated that by reducing staff air travel through video-conference and better travel management, the Body Shop would be able to prevent over 300 tonnes of its existing emissions. "As a result of the foundations Jen laid we are now a fully carbon managed business, with regular measuring and reporting...

...Global Business Today – The Hofstede Study Eniye Olorogun Marketing 505 Dr. Harris Global Business Today – The Hofstede Study The Azure Sky Tea is an American company located in the Rocky Mountains. The herbal tea company boasts of a market share of 9 percent, but has plans to increase its market share through expansion into new markets. The company has a low-key culture and therefore must find markets suitable for this culture. The Hofstede model can help the company find suitable countries having similar dimensions as the United States (The Hofstede Centre, n.d). This is important because the company has plans to maintain its culture in the new office. The Hofstede Model gives national cultural scores for dimensions such as power distance, individualism, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity (The Hofstede Centre, n.d). High power distance implies acceptance of power differences between members of society. Low power distance implies intolerance to uneven distribution of power and therefore there is need for sharing of power among different people (The Hofstede Centre, n.d). The power distance scores of Great Britain and Australia are 35 and 36 respectively. These scores are closest to United States score of 40. With respect to individualism, Great Britain, Australia, and United States have scores of 89, 90, and 91 respectively (The Hofstede Centre, n.d). These close scores imply Azure Company can operate without much challenges in the two countries. Therefore...

The business environments of China and India impact how Lazybones will conduct potential operations, and must therefore be investigated. 5.1 Free Trade Agreements. After 21 rounds of negotiations beginning in 2005, on 17 June 2015 the China-Australia free trade agreement was signed; worth almost $160 Billion (Dfat,2015).The Agreement secures better market access for Australia to the world’s second largest economy, improves our competitive position in a rapidly growing market, and promotes increased two-way investment and reduces import costs (Trade,2015).More than 85 per cent of Australian goods exports will be tariff free, rising to 95 per cent on full implementation.(Trade,2015).China is our biggest export and import market(Dfat,2015). This FTA will only strengthen our country’s relationship, giving us most favoured nation status by helping Australian companies to conduct operation with China.This will greatly benefit Lazybones potential manufacturing sourcing as it will ease the implementation and business relations within China because of our strong relationship. The FTA will ease the barrier to entry for Lazybones in China as the company can capitalise on the political and economic ties Australia has, which ultimately builds business relations and growth.

The accommodation and food services share of employment in Australia represents 51.2% (Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education Report 2012) and New South Wales has around 50,000 food businesses which have registered their activities with NSW Health.

...with Australia’s dichotomous experience with the ratio. This fact is used to shed light on the importance of country-specific shocks for small open economies using a simple real business cycle model. While it has been previously found that country-specific shocks are more significant source of business cycle fluctuations than worldwide shocks for Australia before the 1990s, this article suggests that the country-specific shocks may have become an important driver of output growth only in the early 1990s for Australia. Keywords: worldwide shocks; country-specific shocks; international business cycle; half-life JEL Classification: E32; C32; F43 I. Introduction There has been a growing literature that seeks to extend standard closed economy Real Business Cycle (RBC) models to the open economy with the objective of explaining key features of international business cycles (Mendoza, 1991; Backus and Kehoe, 1992; Backus et al., 1992, 1995; Baxter and Crucini, 1993, 1995; Ravn, 1997). These authors have achieved some success in accounting for a number of anomalies that closed economy models fail to elucidate. Subsequent studies in this literature have emerged and brought interesting findings on international business cycle. One such discovery was on a variety of factors that affect the dynamics of business cycle fluctuations. For instance, multiple previous studies have attempted to address the issue of relative importance of worldwide shocks versus countryspecific shocks (Gregory...

...It is aid that in Australia one mining tire cost more than a Mercedes. In 2011 the cost jumped to 93,500 on the spot market. The increase is due to the demand by the other countries for Australian goods like iron and coal. This is forcing companies to compete against each other for equipment that is needed to do the jobs. According to Managing Director or Tire Innovators Paul Roesler, the industry is concerned the cost of tires will become almost unaffordable again. This happened before in 2007 and it was a while before the industry was able to recover. Another reason for the price increase is due to the rise is cost for raw materials. Rubber prices have raised six fold making the cost about two dollars a pound. The rise of gas and raw crude prices has also had an impact on the cost of tires; this is because companies use these products in large amounts to make the black carbon needed for tire carcasses and threads. These tires are made to last 4,000-7,000 hours but with the short supply and high cost many companies are pushing them to last longer. They are using a forum of tarp to put over the hot sand to help prevent the heat form wearing out the tires sooner. By doing this and pushing the tires and equipment they are putting many lives in danger. One tire uses about 2,000 pounds of rubber with rubber costing about two dollars a pound that makes just one tire worth 4,460 just in rubber there is another 800 pounds of steal that cost one dollar a pound. So with just those to...
