...Dawn Spradley BUSA Chapter 1 Homework 18 August 2014 Review Questions 1. What factors contribute to the rapid pace of change in business? Is the pace likely to accelerate or decrease over the next decade? Why? Increasing entrepreneurship, taking risks, and understanding the market are three factors that contribute to the rapid pace of change in business. In future decades, I feel that the pace is likely to continue to increase with advanced technology and better understanding of the market and overall world of business. 2. What role does entrepreneurship play in the economy? Who stands to gain from the success of individual entrepreneurs? How do other parties benefit? A successful entrepreneur can enrich and benefit a multitude of various people and places. Although the actual entrepreneur is ideally the main person that makes a gain from the product or company, they also lead to sharing the wealth by spending their money. Everywhere that the businessperson spends money is making a gain due to his/her initial wealth and success. This spending of money in other businesses and the taxes can greatly stimulate an economy. 3. How do nonprofit organizations compare to businesses? What role do nonprofits play in the economy? How do they interact with businesses? Nonprofit organizations are very much like a regular business. The only main difference is that nonprofits are not concerned with profits, like businesses are. 4. What are the factors of production? How...

The Glacier Symphony are experiencing that slow down the confidence and the support of the music symphony. Many of the students mention that they dislike the different music that is played during the festival. In return, they somewhat want to hear music they are common to listening. Cooper & Schindler (2014) states “that the object of measurement is a concept, the symbols we attach to bundles of meaning that we hold and share with others. B. Choose several of the major concepts, and specify their dimensions. In this case, constructs are the down in student’s self-esteem and they are unsupported and uninterested in the music festival. In this case, the construct is concrete. The reason is that students are unable to sense or observe low self-esteem. C. Select observable indicators that you might use to measure these dimensions. The type of measurements depends on the mapping rules. D. How would you compile these various dimensions into single index? Student Type=Attendee, Students Mapping rule Assign 1 = low morale 2= low morale plus uncommitted 3=unfair 4=thrilling 5= very thrilling E.

...Katawhan: “Patya siya! Si Barabas maoy buhii!” Tigsaysay: (Si Barabas gibilanggo gumikan sa usa ka kagubot nga nahitabo sa siyudad, ug tungod kay siya nakabuno man.) Buot si Pilato nga buhian si Jesus, busa misulti siya pag-usab ngadto sa mga tawo. Apan misinggit sila patubag kaniya, Katawhan: “Ilansang siya sa krus, ilansang siya sa krus!” Tigsaysay: Sa ikatulo ka higayon miingon si Pilato kanila, Pilato: “Apan unsa bay sala nga nahimo niya? Wala akoy nakaplagan bisag unsa nga angayng silotan sa kamatayon. Ipalatos ko siya ug unya buhian.” Tigsaysay: Apan mipadayon sila pagsinggit og kusog kaayo nga si Jesus kinahanglan gayod nga ilansang sa krus; ug milampos gayod sila sa katapusan. Busa gipahamtang ni Pilato kand Jesus ang silot nga ilang gipangayo. Ug gibuhian niya ang tawo nga ilang gipili, ang gibilanggo tungod sa pagpanggubot ug sa papatayg tawo, ug gitugyan niya si Jesus ngadto kanila aron buhaton nila kaniya ang ilang gusto. Samtang gidala nila si Jesus, gikasugat nila ang us ka tawo nga ginganlag Simon nga taga-Cirene, nga nagpadulong sa siyudad gikan sa banika. Gidakop nila siya ug gipapas-an sa krus ug gipasunod kang Jesus. May dakong panon sa mga tawo nga misunod kang Jesus, ug pipila kanila mga babaye nga naghilak ug nagminatay tungod kaniya. Ug milingi si Jesus kanila ug miingon, Jesus: “Mga babaye sa Jerusalem! Ayaw ako ninyog hilaki, kondili hilaki ang inyong kaugalingon ug ang inyong...

...Abram Sheets Mitchell BUSA 3280 3 April 2016 1.) "Michael Phelps is leaving Beijing as a global sports icon. He's now with the likes of the Michael Jordans, Tiger Woods and Roger Federers and he's earned every bit to be in that elite company," said Michael Lynch, head of global sponsorship at Visa. Phelps first got to be marketable in the wake of winning six golds at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Be that as it may, his prosperity at the 2008 Olympics has placed him in a different level, with a record 14 golds to his name, and on track to end up the wealthiest swimmer ever. "This absolutely changes the game. The values will change, the depth of the programs he is involved with will change, the breadth of these programs will change," said Phelps's agent, Peter Carlisle. As Phelps won gold after gold at Beijing, his allure took off and TV gatherings of people in the United states, the world's greatest media market, watched his triumphs in record numbers. 2.) Morals assumes a part in quality creation and says a great deal in regards to an association. Exploitative conduct or the backing of untrustworthy conduct can spread all through an organization. On the off chance that Kellogg's had kept on embracing Michael Phelps after those pictures were distributed, then Kellogg's image might have been one of a firm that backings the utilization of illicit substances, and that would possibly have harmed interior and outside partners' image. 3.) Not to put all of the cards on...

...Hiren Patel August 25, 2015 Dr. White BUSA 3000 Converting I have had numerous experiences converting weights and measurements all across the world, but one memorable experience I had was in India. Where I was trying to convert kilometer to miles. The summer of 2013, the year after I had graduated my parents had planned a trip to India. We arrived in India and most of the people in India use kilometers instead of miles. When we landed I asked the taxi driver “how far will it take us to get to our village” he told us, but one hundred kilometers. I tried to convert over, but my dad had already converted it over. He told us one hour and he was right. My memorable experience was when I went to visit my grandparents’ home. We had rented a car from a local dealership. My parents were already there and I was only at our house in another city. There was quarter tank of gas. In India almost anyone can drive. I got into the driver seat and proceed with the route the GPS has told me it’s about 50 kilometers. As I was driving, more than halfway there the gas light had lighted up. The rental car that we had was newer and he told me I had about ten miles to the end of the tank. The GPS said I had 15 kilometers left. Therefore, I had converted it over, so that I would not empty the tank. I pulled over and I grabbed my phone and got the conversion. Luckily, I had a pen and a paper that I took from my wallet. My final calculation was that I would be unable to reach my designation with...

...Albrena Jelks January 28, 2015 BUSA 3145 Panasonic Case 1. Triggers of cultural change in Japan during the 1990s were that the generation born after 1964 lacked the same commitment to traditional Japanese values as their parents. They grew up in a richer world where Western ideas and traditions were embraced which resulted in them resisting values passed on from their parents. They did not want to be tied to a company for life to be a salary man, they wanted greater possibilities and freedom like the Western countries had. 2. Since the younger workers are resisting lifetime employment and are pushing for more freedom businesses probably won’t have as many consistent workers in the future like normally. Changes for the economy will be more westernized which may result in more competition and higher wages. 3. Traditional Japanese culture benefited from Panasonic from the 1950s-1960s by being provided with housing, discounts on amenities and guaranteed retirement bonuses, employees were truly cared for from the “cradle to the grave” as stated in the case in exchange for loyalty and hard work. I think that the traditional value did become more of a liability during the 1990s and early 2000s because everyone who was working was old and only getting older. When you get to a certain age you began to lack the ability to perform your job efficiently which wasn’t an issue with the younger workers who weren’t so focused on pay and the older ones who could demand a raise...

...Time Warner/Viacom Jose A. Cruz BUSA 202 Principles of Marketing Eric Rios March 1, 2012 In December 31, 28 Viacom, owners of the Nickelodeon television announce they were taking off the air 19 channels that Viacom owns including two of viewers favorite program as Dora the Explorer and Sponge Bob SquarePans. For this Warner began to receive many calls from spectators complaining and threatened that they will switch cable companies’ providers. Time Warner is the second largest cable provider in the United State with approximately 13.3 million subscribers. Viacom is one of the largest providers of cable TV channel programming. The channel arrangement between Viacom and Time Warner is one of dual distribution in that they both offer the same product to consumers. Viacom owns the channels that people were viewing and Time Warner was supplying the consumers with those channels on another cable provider. The intermediaries are the stations that they offer the service and the people doing the negotiations to keep the channels at Time Warner and get Viacom a little more money. The channel conflict is that of a vertical conflict, since Time Warner is below Viacom in this and Viacom has sway over what happens to them. However in this case, Time Warner was able to regain the upper hand by reaching out to its consumers, hoping they made up for what the company itself could not threaten. Therefore, Viacom wanted more money to supply the channels that had millions of viewers, and...

Signs of entrepreneurial behaviour started to show at the young age of eleven. Mark majored in computer science and psychology at Harvard. Writing a student program called CourseMatch to aided students in strategically selecting their courses. He the n created Facematch which gave students the ability to rate others on looks and then poll the results online. Due to its success, the college network was overwhelmed and was forced Facematch to shut down. His next endeavour was his greatest success. Thefacebook was created by his roommate Dustin Moskovitz, investor, Peter Thiel, and Sean Parker of Napster fame. What started off as a college student application, soon turned into a flagship for social networking not only students, but many users and companies. Strategic Profile and Case Analysis Purpose Facebook has been very successful since its inception. Even after going public in 2012 with initial scepticism by investors the company has beat the odds. Through successful acquisitions, Facebook has been able to not only maintain but enhance its service offerings to its users and advertisers. Facebook utilized several acquisitions to not only improve on or offer new services like its partnership with Zynga; but was also able to pilfer top talent from companies to implement in internal Facebook projects.
