...amongst companies, governments and people. It is driven by invention of new technologies and forms of communications, international trade and investment. In addition to economic aspects, globalization plays an important part in other fields. It can also be defined as the integration of economic, cultural, political, ecological and social systems through internationalization and interconnectedness. Globalization is the principally new step in the development of the long-term process of internationalization (transnationalization) of the economic, political, cultural, legal and other aspects of the society's life, at the point when interrelationships between the national socials have reached such a level, when some drastic changes within the entire world community gradually transforming into the integral society institute, became inevitable. The level of economic, scientific, technological, legal and informational interrelationships of the national industries have reached a point, when at least three principally novel features are imminent. First, the world's economic community, formerly seen as loosely connected multiple countries, is gradually transforming into the integral economic system, with national societies now representing the constituents of the integral world's economic body. Second, while conditions of globalization, national and global economic issues are swapping roles. With the development of international financial and other markets as well as production-sale...

...Women leaders have risen in a relatively slow phase in any domains of the competitive field since late 18th century. However women entrepreneurs can date back at the earliest era of 17th century, formerly by French mademoiselle Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel. The 21st century business world is more competitive in nature. The firm expects energetic and ambitious driven candidates to occupy the higher managerial Tag names like the CEOs or the President. High incorporated firms have tightened the barriers for new entrants regarding time management, intellectual skills and work commitment. The key problem with this prior explanation is that these expectations are still difficult for women to meet. Working females still struggle to balance their career and family life. Also belief of the business world as a man’s territory or the game field still persists from the date of the co-operate world existence to the current era. The business world is contemplated within a male hierarchical framework that had always hindered women to access the crowning point of top business positions. This essay will seek to critically examine the slow growth towards empowerment of women leadership and also consider the effects of their leadership style that had shaken the pure stereotyped business world. One question that needs to be asked, however is whether women are confined from entry to the higher co-operate levels within the respective firms. Men are believed to be more assertive and autocratic in...

...Competitive Business Practices Empress Crenshaw Devry University The United States has several laws that are intended to further fair, balance, and competitive business practices. Do you think that such laws are effective? When climbing up the ladder to successfully own a successful business the drive that one has to succeed is strong. We drive up ideas and plans that will up do and outshine any competition that may stand in the way of success. The key to climbing to the top of market and taking out the competition is by standing within the guidelines, rules, and regulation of the law. The Federal Trade Commissions also known as the FTC are the ones responsible and in charge of upholding and enforcing fair business practices that essential protect those entering in the free market. According to the FTC website the Unfair Business Practice Act was passed by Congress in 1914 and has since been amended multiple times to protect consumers and business from unfair practices and unfair competition. (Unfair and Deceptive Practices) These laws ensure and protect consumers ensuring that businesses don't push out their competition with unfair practices such as false advertisement or shooting up the price of goods. The main two categories these unfair competitive business laws fall within and protect these businesses from being taken advantage of in such a competitive market would be pricing laws and advertising laws.

...exist among people belonging to different minority groups and when it come to gender, men are considered more privileged than women. In reality, statistics do support such assumptions; however, they do not explain the factors driving such preferential behaviors. In this essay, besides displaying some statistical data, I would go a bit further into analyzing the reasons of such patterns. The hiring process, although seemingly easy, is very complicated and entails several complex relationships. There are several perceived disadvantages of women or minority groups when it comes to employment. In the past 20 years, through affirmative action policies, men and women have been encouraged to enter non-traditional areas. However, the removal of legal barriers has not eliminated all obstacles faced by them. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, there were 28,372 charges of sex-based discrimination in 2008. Also, data collected from the American Community Survey in 2008 indicate that women in even the most economically advantaged race groups, white and Asian, earn less than men in the most economically disadvantaged race and ethnic group such as African Americans and Hispanic. The same study reveals that white and Asian men earn much more than African American or Hispanic men. This gap widens at the lowest levels of educations and narrows at...

...tough or very strict leader in the workplace is accepted more by society. While a women’s leadership style, if not identical to her male counterpart, may be viewed as ineffective and soft. In some organizations the “good old boy” network is still widespread so women and minorities do not get the opportunity to advance even if they are more qualified than their competition. Unfortunately, this barrier that hinders advancement is sometimes imposed on women by their own doing. Meaning, some women choose not to work as hard as their male counterparts because they choose their families over their career. For that reason they may not work the long hours, volunteer as much, or take on extra work loads as men often do to climb the corporate ladder. There is a website that discusses an interview with Lillian Vernon, of Lillian Vernon Corporation, and it quotes her saying “many people who dream about their own businesses and don’t have one, are not prepared to work that hard—to think about their job while they’re getting dressed, showering, waiting for somebody— to think of every minute as an opportunity (Martynemko.com)”. Another woman by the name of Theresa Metty, senior VP at Motorola agreed, “Successful people don’t see after-hour ‘demands’ as demands, but as opportunities (Martynemko.com)”. Additionally, success in the workplace is sometimes measured differently when it comes to men and women. The Federal Glass Ceiling Commission conducted a four year study of glass ceilings...

...1. Use any moral theories to critically evaluate the actions of the Chief Executive, Kenneth Lay. History knows many similar incidents where a system takes over, where people in disdain look in retrospect, saying, how could something like that have happened? Enron case is a testament to human nature, of the frail nature of human morale. According to Hamalainen and Saarinen (2007) it seemed that in the early years of Enron Kenneth Lay genuinely believed in Christian values, acted altruistic and represented age-old virtues of good life that are supposed to bring good to the whole system. Most virtue ethics theories take their inspiration from Aristotle who declared that a virtuous person is someone who has ideal character traits. For example, a virtuous person is someone who is kind across many situations over a lifetime because that is his/her character and not because he/she wants to maximise utility or gain favours or simply do his/her duty. Kenneth Lay in this respect was building an extensive network of relationships and making him powerful rather than caring about others. Moral theories are concerned with right and wrong behaviour. Deontology and Consequentialism concern themselves with the right action, virtue ethics is concerned with the good life and what kinds of person we should be. Deontology and Consequentialism are based on rules that try to give us the right action, virtue ethics makes central use of the concept of character. The answer to `How should one live...

...Overview In the limited scholarly work available on the subject, business development is conceptualized as or related to discrete projects, specific modes of growth, and organizational units, activities, and practices. Sorensen [3] integrates these different perspectives with insights from chairmen and managing directors (CMDs), senior business developers, and venture capitalists from successful high-tech firms worldwide, which is adopted in the Palgrave Encyclopedia of Strategic Management: ″Business development is defined as the tasks and processes concerning analytical preparation of potential growth opportunities, and the support and monitoring of the implementation of growth opportunities, but does not include decisions on strategy and implementation of growth opportunities.″ Background In practice, the term business development and its actor, the business developer, have evolved into many usages and applications. Today, the applications of business development and the business developer’s tasks across industries and countries, cover everything from IT-programmers, specialized engineers, advanced marketing or key account management activities, and sales and relations development for current and prospective customers. For this reason, it has been difficult to discern the unique features of the business development function and whether these activities are a source of profits.. Recent systematic research on the subject has outlined the contours of an emerging business...

...The Island In an isolated building, thousands of people are trapped. A theory goes around this building among the people who lives there. All the people are ‘’the survivors’’, who has survived something, which has killed every other person outside the building. There is absolutely no life outside this particular building. They are lucky to be here, because they were rescued. Their only hope in life, is to win some kind of lottery, which means they are going to be moved to a sacred place called The Island, instead of living in this building, where they do everything the same way everyday. Everything in this building, which they live in, is a very sterile environment. Everything is white. Everything is placed in a special order, and everything is normal for these people. What they don’t know is, that they are actually clones. They’ve been captured, to participate in a huge experiment, made by some rich men – including a man called Dr. Merrick. From the moment they were picked, till they were ‘’born as a clone’’ they have been laid in a building with lots of clones next to each other. Every clone sees the same ‘’show’’ about how great this ‘’Island’’ is. They have been hypnotised into wanting something, they didn’t even know existed, before they were coming to this place. When they are born as clones, they all wants to go to The Island, because this should be the dream place to be. Dr. Merrick is the man who rules everything in this isolated building. He knows every little...

...Italian’s, by nature, are very talkative. Emotions are expressed openly and reserving them can sometimes be misinterpreted as disinterest. It should not be surprising to notice that Italians generally interrupt one another during important business meetings, as this tends to be a very common means of communication in an Italian business setting. It is even common for them to outwardly and openly disagree with the message. If you are passionate about a business idea, it is good practice to express your emotions on the subject. Italian people also value a direct and straightforward communication style during a business transaction, so be candid when discussing business matters and your Italian counterpart will respect you for it. Business attire is a sign of professionalism, but when Italians dress casually, it usually includes a jacket and tie for men and a simple but elegant suit or dress for women. (Communicaid Ltd.,2007). Shorts are not considered acceptable out in the public, and should never be worn in a business setting. Italians love to accessorize and Italian women are even known to wear more makeup then American women. Women do not wear revealing tops or sleeveless shirts and men almost always have a neck tie on, as image is one of the most important aspects of your professionalism. When dressed inappropriately you may convey the wrong message to your Italian counterpart. Generally, dress tends to be on the formal side for both men and women, whether in...

...15 Case, “The Broken Employment Contract?”, on pp. 50–53 1. Did Wayne have an employment contract, either oral or written, with EcoCare? Why or why not? Yes, Wayne did have an employment contract with EcoCare that is considered oral. According to Wayne, during his interview Bell stated, “As long as he did his job, he could stay with the company until he reached retirement age.” You know this is an oral contract because it proves four elements: an offer, consideration, acceptance, and mutuality. There was an offer given to Wayne to work at the company until he is at retirement age. Consideration means something was offered in exchange for the specified action, meaning Wayne was offered to stay until retirement only if he did his job. Wayne then was handed the manual and accepted the job offer. Both Bell and Wayne were aware of the offer and mutually agreed to the hire. 2. What problems, if any, do you see with EcoCare’s pre-employment process? EcoCare’s employment process is just unorganized. Bell should have never told a new hire in an interview that she knew of no one being discharged so they won’t have to look for work. That is unprofessional and can cause disputes later on. There was no documentation of the hiring interview and no pre-employment paperwork for records. The reason this company is in this predicament is because of the unorganized hire of Wayne. 3. Can an employer’s written human resource policies ever be construed as a contract between an employer...

...The process by which slavery became the prominent feature of the United States was very gradual and complex. During 19th century, the availability of ample slave laborers was used as a comparative advantage to help prosper the United States economically. Slaves were dominantly used to grow commercial crops such as: sugar, rice, tobacco, and cotton to help expand the economy abroad. The services of slaves were highly enjoyed by both the southern and northern slaveholders, yet they were denied the status of admissible culture. Slaves were vital contributors of American economic success in the 19th century. Slaves were constantly oppressed and tortured by their masters that prevented them from climbing the ladder of success and social classes. In addition, the slaveholders often broke the ties between many slave families through violence, sexual harassment, and the selling of family members to different plantations. This essay will vividly describe the hardship of the slaves in the 19th century. During the 19th century, female slaves experienced both physical and mental hardships. According to the narrative of Frederick Douglass, female slaves were often the prays of slave masters. Many slave masters used female slaves as their mistress. They used them for their physical pleasure at their will. Such female slaves were victims of greater hardships and physical torture. Their mistress often hated them for providing sexual pleasure and having multiple mulatto babies with their master...

He holds a computer engineering degree from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and a graduate business degree from the University of California, Los Angeles. He is highly regarded in his field and has written for publications including The New York Times, Fortune, Forbes, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, Project Syndicate, The Huffington Post and The Fiscal Times.

These two books are about dealing with the effects of automation, robots, algorithms and the effects they have on mass-unemployment. Ford is quite unique and in some ways brave in the fact that he was the first 21st century author to publish a book (The Lights in the Tunnel) making a very strong argument that advances in robotics and artificial intelligence would eventually take over a large percentage of the human workforce and in turn make us obsolete. In this wise and wide-ranging book, he surveys the impact robots and smart technology is having upon the economy, work, leisure, education, health care, and the acceleration of inequality and unemployment.
