...July is my most favorite month out of the year with all the carnivals going on, yummy food, and fireworks. Fireworks are one of my most favorite things every year, I try to attend as many firework shows as I can. This July alone I've been to at least one show a week and continue to do so into August or as long as they all last. My favorite firework show thus far this year has been the one at Riverton Days’. It had tons of food vendors offering everything from fresh squeezed orange juice to footlong corndogs. They played great music the whole time that was loud enough for everyone to hear, no matter how far away you where from the stage. And the entire thing seemed very family oriented, nothing scary happening and lots of security there to protect incase something did. Lastly, the thing that put the Riverton show over the top was that during the firework show they launched them in sync with the music, had 3 different launching spots, and the slow lasted close to 45 minutes. I kept thinking over and over that the finally had to be this time and it just continued on. However, in the...

...HUMN432 Week 6 Assignment: Final Draft of the Paper Technology: The Invention of Gunpowder Professor: Adam Ravalovich August 12, 2011 Title: The Invention of Gunpowder A. Introduction: The invention of gunpowder was one of China’s four greatest inventions that made a significant contribution to Chinese culture. Gunpowder in Chinese is called “huo yau”, meaning flaming medicine. The use of gunpowder gave the Chinese a greater ability to protect them from enemies and to conquer and control others. Although fireworks today are used as entertainment, the Chinese used it to scare-off enemies in the time of war. Chinese firearms, fireworks and gunpowder were also popular items of trade along the Silk Road to Europe. As we can imagine this invention had a profound effect on human history and although gunpowder was invented by the Chinese, it gave rise to the powerful western world while it inevitably left China and the Eastern World behind. B. Description of the Chinese Culture (Brandy Miller) 1. Chinese Society: Understanding a people's culture exposes their normalness without reducing their individuality. There are many different realms of Chinese society. China is well known for its centuries of traditional values, customs and beliefs. These beliefs are deeply linked with the language, religions and collective values which have always been the center of traditional festivals, customs and everyday life of man as a collective in harmony with nature...

...Influencing Key Stakeholders Andrew Demers MGT-665-0663 June 8, 2015 This essay will discuss efforts to influence two key stakeholders at Pyro Presentations. This business is a family owned, and operated fireworks display company based in Oregon. Due to a large number of senior staff members retiring and business expansion, it became prudent to promote junior staff members as well as develop new positions to be filled. This paper will propose a strategy to influence the key stakeholders following the Cohen-Bradford Model of Influence without Authority. Briefly describe a change effort that could be instituted at this organization. This may be an actual change effort that has previously occurred, one that is currently ongoing, or a fictitious one that you believe is appropriate for the organization. Besides the manager and assistance manager positions at Pyro Presentations, there are two general types of employees: the senior staff members and the junior staff members. The power structure hinged on this division of workers. This dichotomy in power worked for many years until the senior staff began retiring. The issue soon became apparent, that with all those once in power retiring, a new power base needed to be formally established amongst the junior staff. Clarifying goals and priorities is the second step in the influence model. The purpose, in this case, is promoting junior staff members and creating new positions to support the expanding business. Identify one...

As our society advances towards a global society, and companies begin to transition themselves into multinational and global organizations, the question of which rules and regulations should the company follow is likely to precipitate. I feel such is the case with China. I believe prior to answering the question of foreign nation compliance, one should examine the reasons why an organization has entered into that foreign market. The primary objective is typically profits, a secondary could be expansion, an initiative to become a globally known brand and gain international market share. Once the fundamental question of “why” is answered, the remaining issues, such as foreign government policies, can be addressed as well. So should a company comply or defy? Proponents of both sides of the fence are up in arms and ready to debate their stance. Proponents argue loss of market share if a company decides to leave a potentially new market, especially an international market. And proponents of defying the compliance terms are citing moral and ethical beliefs which make it wrong to comply with a communist government (http://hbswk...

...Final Paper Proposal James Collier BUS311: Business Law I Instructor: Daniel Malvin 9-1-2014 A sole proprietorship is a one-person business that is not registered with the state as a corporation or a limited liability company (LLC). The owner of the Acme Firework is a sole proprietor that has never changed his business entity. A sole proprietor can be held personally liable for any business-related obligation. This means that if your business doesn't pay a supplier, defaults on a debt, or loses a lawsuit, the creditor can legally come after your house or other possessions. Product liability laws cover consumer goods and goods used at a workplace. If someone is injured by a defective product or suffers loss or damage to private property, they can sue for damages. Both producers and distributors can also face prosecution if they offer unsafe products for sale. When a defective product causes injury, the manufacturer of the product, the distributor, the wholesaler and the retailer who sold the product may all be liable to the plaintiff. Several large retailers have sent inquires about the company’s ability to fill large orders on a regular basis, but the owner is anticipating he will need new employees and is worried that he will not be able to pay the employees if the large orders do not continue. The owner will have to consider a business entity because the company is going to grow with more employees and workloads. To get the most out of a small business, a company...
