...Learning Team Reflection In this week assignment Team A will discuss how we plan to help Clapton Commercial Construction expand their operation from a single location to multiple. Clapton Commercial Construction will expand to Arizona while currently operating solely in Detroit, MI. Employing 650 employees the Clapton Commercial Construction falls into the medium size business with a plan to add 20 percent workforce in the new state. Our team will work to address employment laws to ensure Human Resources are running compliance. Generally the principles and strategies to operate any size business will be fairly similar. The differences will depend on the type of business. A medium sized company is considered as a company with less than 500 employees. Medium sized companies are fairly successful. It is said that their size can enable them to do things better. For example their relatively larger size compared with small companies provides them with deeper pockets for dealing with difficulties, funding innovation and hiring key talent. And their smaller size compared with larger companies makes them more agile, puts them in closer contact with customers and enables them to retain a bit of that entrepreneurial spirit (Sniderman2012). There are several principles that can be used to apply to our business and others businesses. The first principle used to operate our medium sized business is known as the follow up and follow through principle. This principle is ideal...

...E-Business in Students Life’s Behavioral simulations are often used as a way of exposing students to "real life" situations to gain firsthand experience of business problems and solutions, however at the University of the Sunshine Coast we chose to use "experiential learning" as one of the teaching strategies in the unit INF320 Electronic Commerce by exposing final year Bachelor of Business, Information Systems students to implement actual electronic commerce business solutions by drawing on their previous theoretical and behavioral classroom simulations in a tripartite collaborative activity over a whole semester involving the student, the business owner and the university. While behavioral simulations provide an effective way of exposing students to realistic situations, our experience demonstrates that the integration of the university with the local business owner not only raises the profile of university and keeps it in the public eye but also for the students gaining practical insight into the day-to-day operational forces affecting business decision. Students have the opportunity to make a worthwhile contribution to business, by applying, the knowledge and skills accumulated over the years and hence, build up self-confidence before moving out into the business world as graduates. Introduction == The traditional teaching method used in many classrooms is to devise one or more case studies based on business activities for students to solve...
