...Analysis of Walmart Jennifer Boykin Strayer University Professor Swinney BUS 310 July 17, 2014 Analysis of Walmart 1. Analyze the organization overall, its primary purpose, the customers that it serves, and its size. In 1945 a businessman named Sam Walton made the decision to purchase a branch of the Ben Franklin Stores with the idea of focusing on selling products at lower prices in order to earn higher volume sales at a lower profit margin. Once he was able to overcome a few obstacles, he gained the ability to locate lower-cost suppliers who allowed him with the opportunity to have a significant advantage over his local competitors. Over the next five years, Walton drastically increased his sales percentage and by the time his lease on the Ben Franklin stores were up, he opened a new franchise called “Walton’s Five and Dime”. This new franchise would eventually give birth to today’s most successful multinational retail corporation known as Walmart. By 1970, the company had 38 stores operating throughout Arkansas and within the next decade, they continued to grow rapidly with a total of 1,198 stores with sales totaling $15.9 billion Walmart has since opened thousands of stores throughout the United States and have also expanded internationally. The company currently operates over 11,000 retail units under 71 banners in 27 countries and e-commerce websites in 10 countries (“Our Business” 2014). Walmart...

...A JETSTAR flight is being investigated for flying too low on approach Hemi Te HooRi Sat, 18/08/2012 - 19:21 Sat, 18/08/2012 - 19:21 The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is investigating, saying the two-pilot crew of the Airbus 320 had an incorrect descent profile selected and descended below the minimum safe altitude on the morning flight from Auckland to Queenstown on July 16. Jetstar said although the flight landed safely in clear conditions, the airline was taking the incident very seriously and was working with the bureau. "The pilots reported that on approach an incorrect autopilot setting resulted in the aircraft going off its pre-determined track." The aircraft dropped to 1920m for a short time when it should have been flying at 2225m. "This never put the aircraft in danger and the incident didn't trigger any cockpit alerts. The pilots realised the error and corrected it promptly," a Jetstar spokesman said. The two pilots, who had a combined total of 23,000 hours' experience and had been flying to and from Queenstown for the past two years without incident, reported the incident to Jetstar and to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), Australia's equivalent of the New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority. Under a treaty between Australia and New Zealand, CASA was viewed as the air safety regulatory body for Jetstar. The growth in scheduled flights worldwide continues again in February with airlines providing 5% more flights. In line with the general...

...English 111-32B Paper#1 Downloading, just sharing or stealing? Thieves have taken on a whole new face, in what people call the “cyber age”. There is no need for thieves to rob banks, steal cars or even leave the house. Computers are thieves’ new weapon of choice. They can hack in to bank accounts in seconds, leaving a person helpless and feeling violated while months are spent picking up the pieces. In this cyber age people do not even have to change out of their pajamas, or brush their teeth to steal every dime a person has. Computers are the perfect weapon because they do not need food, sleep and can be programmed to constantly run, bouncing from account to account ruining every life it touches. With all the theft going on, some are committing suicide because they cannot fix all the damage these thieves have done to their lives. The big Internet crimes reported on the news are kids file sharing music. File sharing is considered a form of theft, but sharing one album compared to thieves ruining lives stealing billions from people who live check to check is like comparing apples and oranges. The creators of technology could not even have imagined all the bad stuff that has become of their dreams and hard work. Computers were built to solve calculations and then kept evolving to help make life easier and more efficient. Trouble started with the World Wide Web, because people started transmitting personal information through the airways. People do not understand...

...cry from being a living wage which is a wage that is high enough for fulltime workers to provide a decent life for themselves and their families. For the benefit of American citizens and the economy, the minimum wage must be increased! Those opposed to an increase in the minimum wage focus on a number of assumptions suggesting it would be a bad idea. Under close examination, all of their arguments fall apart. One of the main arguments for not raising the minimum wage is that it is a job killer. The reasoning is the increase in salary decreases profits and results in cutbacks in hiring. However, a study at the University of California, Berkeley, has shown that raising the minimum wage does not have a negative effect on employment. An analysis of those states that independently increased the minimum wage “had job growth slightly above the national average.” Another study from the Economic Policy Institute found that raising the minimum wage actually contributes to moderate job growth because of increased consumer spending by the low income workers. The pay raises are spent putting money right back into the economy. In 1998, the state of Washington voted to raise the minimum wage and...

...Executive Summary- * My idea * “The Thrifty Princess”, an online store dedicated to trading, buying, and selling used children’s clothing. * Why do I want to do this? * Children grow out of clothes so fast that it is difficult to keep up in the cost of new clothing every 6 months. * Research * A SWOT analysis points out the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of this idea. * Porter’s 5 forces. * Findings * The biggest threat being large competitors, the biggest strength being the online convenience for working mothers wanting to recycle and save money. The biggest weakness is profitability, and the greatest opportunity is the bad economy promoting affordable methods to purchasing clothing for children. * Recommendation * Instead of charging a registration fee to enter the site, a fee per transaction would make this idea profitable. Advertising will help bring in profits as well. My Idea! Trading has been used since the earliest times – from the prehistoric ages to the medieval ages, and even up to now. Our ancestors have been using the trading system when money was not yet available. I want to start a trading company. I want people to be able to trade, buy, or sell children’s clothes but in an online type of platform. There are previous businesses such as “ Twice as Nice Kids” that are physical stores where you can go sell or trade children’s merchandise. I feel an online...

...The Law Offices of Jeter, Jackson, Guidry, and Boyer THE EVOLUTION OF THE FIRM David Jeter and Nate Jackson started a small general law practice in 1992 near Sacramento, California. Prior to that, the two had spent five years in the district attorney’s office after completing their formal schooling. What began as a small partnership—just the two attorneys and a paralegal–assistant—had now grown into a practice that employs more than 27 people in three separate towns. The current staff includes 18 attorneys (three of whom have become partners), three paralegals, and six secretaries. For the first time in the firm’s existence, the partners feel that they are losing control of their overall operation. The firm’s current caseload, number of employees, number of clients, travel requirements, and facilities management needs have grown far beyond anything that the original partners had ever imagined. Attorney Jeter called a meeting of the partners to discuss the matter. Before the meeting, opinions about the pressing problems of the day and proposed solutions were sought from the entire staff. The meeting resulted in a formal decision to create a new position, general manager of operations. The partners proceeded to compose a job description and job announcement for recruiting purposes. Highlights and major responsibilities of the job description include: • Supervising day-to-day office personnel and operations (phones, meetings, word processing, mail, billings...
