...HISTORY Domino’s Pizza was founded in 1960 and since then has grown to become the largest pizza delivery company in the United States. It has grown from a mom-and-pop pizza store to a network of company-owned, franchise-owned stores in the United States and across the globe and was recently ranked number 1 in Forbes magazine’s “Top 20 Franchises for the Money” list (David, R 2013, p. 372). Domino’s Pizza was the brain child of the brothers Tom and James Monaghan who grew up in foster care and had dreams of success. In 1960 the brothers opened their first pizza store in Ypsilanti, Michigan named Domi-Nicks with a nine hundred dollar start up loan. In 1961 Tom acquired full and sole ownership of Domi-Nicks by trading his brother James a car, a Volkswagen Beetle to be specific, for his half of the business. He then changed the name to Domino’s Pizza Inc. During the period from 1965 to 1978 Domino’s experienced steady growth and had increased from the initial mom-and-pop store, to having 200 locations nationwide. The 1980’s saw continued expansion of Domino’s and its brand. They grew to more than 5,000 locations in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia and Columbia (David, R. 2013, p.372). In 1986 Domino’s Pizza launched its Pizza Partners Foundation which is 100% funded by team member and franchise contributions and has disbursed nearly $12 million to aid team members facing crisis situations. Company founder Tom Monaghan eventually retired in 1998...

The board of directors is typically primarily composed of non-executives which carry out duty to shareholders and are not closely involved in the day-to-day activities of the organization, although this varies depending on the type (e.g., public versus private), size and culture of the organization. The board sets corporate strategy, makes major decisions such as major acquisitions, and hires, evaluates, and fires the top-level manager (and the CEO typically hires other positions.

...Domino Pizza A Domino Pizza üzleti terve Hámor Szabolcs és Hajós Tamás vállalkozási ötletéről szól. Lényege egy olyan étterem nyitása Budapesten, amely magas minőséget elérhető áron kínál. Az étterem fő tevékenységként pizzák, frissensültek, tészták, saláták elkészítését és házhozszállítását vállalja majd, de a céges rendezvények számára catering szolgáltatást is fog nyújtani, vagyis külső rendezvényekre nagy tételben hideg és/vagy melegételt szállít. Az üzleti terv szerintem legnagyobb erőssége, hogy próbál épíeni a Giuseppe Pizzéria tapasztalataira, figyelembe veszik amit ott megtanultak illetve igyekeznek kihasználni az onnan kapott referenciákat. A széles választék, illetve az hogy az étlap tervezésére nagy hangsúlyt fektetnek (amiből következik remélhetőleg hogy tényleg jó minőségű lett) vonzó lehet a leendő vendégek számára, mint ahogyan az is hogy figyeltek a diétás és egészséges ételek kedvelőire is, mivel tudják hogy az ilyen jellegű termékek iránt a kereslet folyamatosan növekszik. Ami még az erősségek közé sorolható, hogy az internetes megjelenésnek nem csak és kizárólag az a célja hogy értékesítési csatornaként működjön, hanem ezen keresztül szeretnének visszajelzéseket kapni a fogyasztóktól és ezáltal javítani a vállalkozáson. Ami még szerintem mindenképpen jó ötlet, hogy a például a pizza osztással elég jól meg tudja ragadni a célcsoport figyelmét, illetve a figyelemfelkeltő reklámok az ingyenes kóstolással jó párosítás lehetnek. Amit én a gyengeségek...

...Pizza Delivery Position Paper “I’m damned if I do, and I’m damned if I don’t,” (Old Saying). Life is filled with hard choices. In fact, the line between right and wrong action can be so blurred at times, that the morally correct action can truly be a mystery. This is why ethics is so important; because it allows one to sharpen their intellect and be able to discern right action from wrong. However, one part which even gives ethical reasoning a run for its money, is a decision where both outcomes are, by all estimations, equally as bad. In summation, Domino’s pizza has started a practice with one of its branches which disallows drivers to deliver pizzas to certain neighborhoods in their zone. As a part of this practice, Domino’s has created a map of its deliver radius and marked areas where it will allow drivers to deliver to and where it won’t allow drivers to deliver to. This policy was first implemented, because many employees where being robbed and murdered in these particular neighborhoods. Eventually certain members of the community, who lived in these “bad” neighborhoods, protested and said that these practices were pronounced acts of racism. Eventually other political groups got involved, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, who criticized this practice because all the targeted neighborhoods were predominantly minority neighborhoods. When first examining this problem, we see that there is one single underlying issue at the heart of the problem; is this practice...

The process under the transaction processing system is the collection of data as well as it being uploaded over the internet into the Lenovo PC for processing. The Lenovo is part of the updated Pulse Evolution system that Domino's Pizza adopted. Under the old system it was considered to be a “thick client” model, which required all fully equipped machines. The output for the transaction process system in this case study is the customer information data, the number of pizza's sold along with toppings and costs of other food items sold. Also, the pizza tracker system, which allows customers to view a simulation of their pizza as it is being customized and created is part of their output.

...Week 1 Discussion My definition of social responsibility is being aware that every action you take (and equally, every action you do not take) impacts someone else. Examples of this can be seen in the book, "The Butterfly Effect" by Andy Andrews. In this book, the author discusses the hypothesis proposed by a doctoral student that a butterfly could flap its wings and set in motion molecules of air that would move other molecules of air, eventually capable of causing a hurricane on the other side of the earth (Andrews, 2009). Seemingly preposterous, until thirty years later when physics professors from colleges and universities around the world came to the conclusion that "The Butterfly Effect" was indeed possible and it has since been accorded the status of a law known as "The Law of Sensitive Dependence Upon Initial Conditions." If we live life with this law in mind, we understand how much even the smallest actions we take can have on our surroundings and the people we come in contact with. Whether it was Rosa Parks refusing to move from her seat on a bus one day or whether a sixty-eight year old widow who continually encouraged Virginia Ramirez to go back to school (Loeb, 2010) our actions can be the catalyst to positive change in our or someone else's environment. One of the ways I am using this theory is in my workplace. I have inherited an office full of discipline issues and employees who have learned to point fingers of blame instead of taking personal responsibility...

Domino’s Pizza will do a demand and forecast to determine if it’s a good decision to open the store.
