...Background I love pizza since I was a kid. I remember my first experience when I ate pizza. My mother brought me a slice of Pizza when she got home from grocery. At that time I wondered about the pizza because it has triangle shape and like having a rubber on it. Soon after I ate pizza and tasted it I became love it. Here are some other reasons why I choose pizza for my favorite food: • First, Pizza is all season food. I can have it anytime I want whether in winter or summer and I do not have to wait for special event. When I get exhausted after back from work and need to find my dinner I just simply call the room service to ask for pizza or call pizza to be delivered. • Second, Pizza has many varieties. I can never get bored with pizza because I can have thousands of varieties of pizza and put anything I want on it. • Finally, Pizza is affordable for me because the price is not expensive and it can fit with my budget. Why I Love Pizza As I mention before, I love pizza because I have several reasons to support it. And now I would like to discuss it a little bit more so that you can understand why I love pizza. 1. All Season food I can always eat Pizza regardless the season I have, not like ice cream which is too cold to eat in winter or grilled turkey where you can only have it in Thanksgiving. Furthermore my job requires me to travel to many cities in Indonesia and also to other countries. When I cannot figure out what food I want to eat for my lunch or my dinner I usually...

...TO ORDER A PIZZA Scene One: Once Upon a Dinnertime Mary is hanging out with a few friends and her brother. She wants to order pizza tonight, but can’t afford to do so all by herself. She won’t be able to get what she wants unless she can convince all of the others to chip in for pizza, but she has her skills from English class to help her in her mission! Our story begins… Mary: (writes on whiteboard) “Thesis: We should order a couple of pizzas for dinner tonight.” Mary: (looks over at the people watching TV) Guys? What do you think? Chris: Maybe. What do the rest of you… hmm, maybe we’d better wait for a commercial. Well, I’m paying attention. Why pizza? Mary: Uh… hmm. Chris: Also, since when do you have a whiteboard in your living room? Mary: (writes) “Pizza was a regular dinner in my family, growing up. My brother and I were always happy when our parents said, ‘Pizza night!’ Both our parents worked, which meant that there was often no one with much time to cook. They enjoyed the break from cooking, and we all enjoyed the pizza (and the break from washing dishes). We’d only have it once every couple of weeks, though, so we never got tired of it. Basically, pizza is great.” Chris: o_O What was that? Mary: I was showing that pizza is delicious! …And time-saving and stuff! Chris: …Where did you talk about pizza being delicious? I just saw a story. Mary: In the middle! I said we all enjoyed the pizza. Chris: Um. I barely even...

...I could literally survive off of this dish if I was stranded on a desert island. Ever since I took my first bite I’ve been in love ever since. Frozen, hand tossed, pan… I don’t discriminate because no other type of pizza is bad to me. If you don’t like pizza I don’t know why because honestly I’ll believe you’ve been living under a rock. Don’t knock it till’ you’ve tried it. Out of one week I think I can statistically say I eat pizza 70% of the time. I never get tired of eating it. I’ve once eaten pizza for a straight week and didn’t get sick once. Give me a stove and 100 pizzas and they’ll all be gone within a few months. That’s how serious it is. I don’t apply to work at pizza parlors because if I’m the cook they won’t get to who...

...Everyone loves pizza and beer and I am certainly no exception so it would have surprised no one to find me at Frank’s Pizza on an otherwise unremarkable evening in 1987, what did surprise many was what happened less than a year after this particular night. In a small town in Northern California more famous for its rich gold rush era history than any culinary notoriety in a downtown still dominated by structures from the late 1800’s is a pizza joint named Frank’s, no one remembers who gave it that name, the owner for the vast majority of my life is named William Jackson Davis and if he ever knew the titular namesake he never told me or anyone I know, but history or name aside no one I ever heard of had anything but praise for the pies that were produced there, 4 hour waits on a Friday or Saturday were not uncommon. So it was there I was headed on that portentous evening nearly thirty years ago after a back breaking week of working in construction putting drywall on houses, with a great hunger and thirst only such demanding and dusty work can produce and looking forward to nothing more than the filling and delicious pizza and ice cold refreshing beer when I noticed that the owners had hired a new waitress, a striking Green eyed beauty with a bust that would cause babies for miles around to begin salivating, now as a young single man not many years out of the Marine Corps my reaction was somewhat predictable, I hit on her like a Miner Forty-niner on a rich vein in the Mother...

Domino's Pizza has a combination of corporate owned and franchised locations. They are also a publicly traded and multinational organization. Domino's Pizza have set their goal in becoming the number one pizza delivery service ever. Domino's Pizza falls under the fast food industry, which has been characterized for high employee turnover. Domino's Pizza is no exception to the high employee turnover of this industry. Domino's Pizza has a trend of young and inexperienced employees that only stay with the company for a short while. With turnover rates high and new inexperienced employees filling job positions it seems that Domino's Pizza is in a vicious cycle of hiring and re-hiring. Employees do not see Domino's as a long term dream job, but a temporary job just to earn money. The costs of the hiring process is taking a continuous toll on this pizzeria company. In terms of my role with this company I have been asked to assume the role of a consultant. A manager has asked me for my expertise in handling the large employee turnover rate. In this industry the employee turnover rate can be as high as 200% to 300%. It can be quite a challenge to bring this rate down. However I am confident that with the right...

...There are many reasons why a person would choose to stalk another. More often than not, the victim knows his/her stalker. I know this because I have been stalked before by my ex-live-in-boyfriend. He would sit outside my house and wait for me to leave so that he could follow me everywhere. He would call and text me all hours of the night, and make threats such as “You’ll regret leaving me” and “I’ll make you pay for this.” Once, I bleached my hair, and that same day received a text stating “Told you that you are an ugly blonde.” I’m just glad he overcame his obsession and stopped the harassment. The text breaks the motives down into four categories that are simple obsession, love obsession, erotomania, and false victimization syndrome. Simple obsession is when an ex-partner or current partner stalks, as described in the situation above (Meadows, 2014). Love obsession is defined as a person that stalks a celebrity, and there is no prior relationship between the two parties. (Meadows, 2014). Gwyneth Paltrow was stalked by a pizza delivery guy that sent her about five letters a day, porn, pizza, and flowers (David, 2009). Third, there is erotomania, which is when a stranger has false beliefs that he/she is in a relationship with his/her target. Lastly, there is false victimization syndrome. This category defines stalkers that falsely accuse his/her victim of actually doing the stalking (Meadows, 2014). Those stalkers that fall under the category of simple obsession truly believe...

Domino’s Pizza is one of the most recognized and largest pizza outlets out of thousands of pizza brands around today. In a market segment that is highly competitive with numerous options of different brand options, each company works tirelessly to maintain brand image and corporate standards. DEFINING THE PROBLEM The Domino’s Pizza Company faced its largest problem in its 49-year history in April 2009. The Vice President of Corporate Communications, Tim McIntyre was alerted to an issue regarding two Domino’s store employees, who would be later identified as Kristy Hammond and Michael Setzer, were behaving inappropriately. These employees posted videos online of themselves depicting unsanitary, disrespectful and inappropriate behavior on the job. These two employees didn’t think anything of their behavior until they got caught, then offered a lousy and unprofessional apology. Once the uploaded videos surfaced, Domino’s corporate executives were forced to act quickly. In order to do this they needed to ensure that no more videos would be posted, identify the employees and repair any possible damage to the reputation. McIntyre knew the videos could easily have had a larger impact on the Domino’s brand. All major...

...exactly the same as it does here, but there are also many different options that customers in the United States would have no familiarity with. As will be obvious throughout this paper McDonalds is really the king of adapting its business to the various cultures of the countries they operate in. The top ten fast food chains with revenue made outside the United States from ten thru one are Dairy Queen, Dunkin Donuts, Wendy’s, Starbucks, Domino’s Pizza, Subway, Pizza Hut, Burger King, KFC, and McDonalds at number one with revenue total of 44 billion (Huffington Post Mar 12 2013). Some say that fast food chains that adapt themselves too much to other cultures are losing what made their businesses successful in the first place the idea that people in these for foreign countries eat at these restaurants to get a taste of American life not to eat the same thing they eat every day. That is really not the point of this to find out if that is true; this is simply about seeing how businesses adapt themselves to different cultures and be successful at it. I chose five regions of the world that will show how different fast food chains adapt to the tastes of different cultures the five regions are Europe, Africa, Middle East, India, and Asia. The reason for picking these regions is because they show just...

...ANGELO’S PIZZA INTRODUCTION This is a case of an entrepreneur Angelo Camero, brought up in Bronx, New York. He often spent hours at pizza store business observing them, their procedures and finally after the graduation with majors in marketing started his own business, Angelo’s Pizza store, providing a clean environment, taste and quality in pizza. In the 5 years of business, he expanded it to 3 more stores. He hired different managers to run the business there and trained them as they were first working under his supervision at pioneer branch. He was facing the problems of human resource management. He was having no training program for the store managers how to run the store. Finding the competent employees for small business was the real problem of that time. Giant firms outsource the basic operations of the business while the small business like Angelo’s pizza cannot afford it. There was also a problem of the employee theft in the small business. Along with these basic issues there was another issue that his employee turnover was very high. One of his employee stole his idea and formulate a pizza shop as it was planned by Angelo. Other problem lies in the wages of the employees, their behavior on job and the honesty and flexibility about switching the jobs. QUESTIONS Q.1. what are three specific human resource management implications of my strategy (including specific policies and practices)? 1. Hiring the workforce. 2. Training and compensating them with financial...

...Children's upbringing We start in the first text called Why I love my strict Chinese mom from a newspaper. It is an inter-view from The New York Post interviewing Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld who describes her up-bringing as a child. She had a very strict mother who used methods as not letting the children attend sleep-overs, have play dates, be in school plays, complain about not being in a school play. The daughter goes on telling the interviewer that she does not think that her mother rose her badly, as most of society does. She thinks that the mother did a really good job and that she in no way have lost any possibilities of friendship and fun. The method the mother uses is to have a strict scheme of what the children can and cannot do which, in the end, turned out great for her kids who says "If I died tomorrow, I would die feeling I've lived my whole life at 110 percent." The second text is called Let them eat pizza: parenting guru's recipe for bringing up children. Dr Bryan Caplan claims that activities such as music lessons, organized sports and educational games are a waste of time as they do not make the slightest difference to children when they mature. Parents should relax and give the children more slack and take a backseat role in the children's lives. Although he does subtly state that parents should make an effort to interact with their children until the age of 12 where after "it has no effect" The third and last text is a general policy statement from the Summerhill...
