...General Products Britain Melinda Nesbitt Mid-Continent University Leadership and Motivation MGT 6003 General Products Britain Carl Mitchell recently accepted a position with General Products Inc. in Britain. General Products is a multinational consumer corporation. George Garrow is the general manager in charge of the British branch (Daft, 2011). Mr. Garrow is the type of manager who does not provide motivation to his employees. He is not a servant leader. He seems to be more interested in his own career than those that he leads. Mr. Mitchell reports to Mr. Garrow. Empowering leadership is to encourage followers to take initiative, to manage and control their own behavior that is to engage in self-leadership (Thoroughgood, 2011). Mr. Garrow does not know this skill. Empowering leaders, delegate significant responsibilities related to their followers’ own jobs. An empowering leader is one who leads others to influence themselves to achieve high performance, not one who leaves others doing whatever they want to do (Seokhwa Yun, 2006). Empowering leaders believe that followers themselves are an influential source of wisdom and direction, and strive to develop followers who are effective at self-leadership. They create the context within followers so they may fully utilize their capabilities. Carl Mitchell’s style is best described as self-leadership...

...Overview In 1966-1967 General Foods Corporation was considering introducing a new product called the Super product. This product was “a new instant dessert based on flavored, water soluble, agglomerated powder” to both the United States and foreign markets. The capital investment was projected to be $200,000, and it would leverage the existing facilities used by the Jell-O manufacturing unit that had an available under-utilized capacity of its Jell-O agglomerate. A Nielsen market survey was done that showed a powered desert which would contribute to a significant growth market. The results projected that the product would capture 10% of the market share; 8% percent would be from new growth while 2% would come from the cannibalization of the current Jell-O-sales. The evaluation process to determine the investment opportunity for the Super Project was based on the incremental cash flow analysis. Crosby Samberg, a manager and financial analyst for General Food Corporation felt that this model was flawed and that a new more “accurate” model had to be used to examine the returns on the Super Project. The first assessment model was using the General Food acceptable practice of incremental analysis. The incremental anlaysis determined that Super Project have an attractive return of 63%. The second mythology was to add the facilities' costs, which examine the opportunity costs of leveraging the available pre-existing Jell-O equipment. This model determined that the Super Project would...

... especially when it comes to marketing products. The four elements of the marketing mix are Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. These four elements are essential for an organization to be both effective and successful in marketing their products or services. The four P’s are used in order to help an organization develop their marketing strategy for their products, this is also used to help the organization determine the appropriate market, and targeted demographic areas for the product. The first of the four elements found within the marketing mix is the product. The product is the most important element found within the marketing mix, because without a product or a service the organization would fail. When discussing the product an organizations marketing team works closely with all different areas within the organization in order to develop or enhance a product or service. The organization must first decide on a product, and how the product will be manufactured including how the production line will be assembled in order to achieve the final product. Understanding the product, and how the product works is also important when it comes to the marketing mix, because if the marketing team does not understand the product, then it cannot be successful when it comes to marketing the product and or implementing their marketing strategy for the product, a task that is an essential aspect of any organization. Knowing what the product is, is also important to an organization...

...Write a short critical essay explaining how the poor economic climate in the UK might affect the marketing mix of a start-up retail venture in the high street. I will look critically at setting up a retail business on the high street in the current economic climate and the affect this may have on the marketing mix. I will first give a brief overview of the economic situation in the UK and high street retail in general. The UK economy has undergone a protracted period of instability since the banking crisis of 2007/08, which sparked economic downturn for the UK and caused a dramatic fall in both consumer and business confidence. Between 2008 and 2012, the UK experienced two periods of recession and has been subject to austerity measures, such as public spending cuts, welfare reforms and increased taxation, imposed by the UK Government in an attempt to reduce the country’s budget deficit and reverse economic decline. These measures coupled with high inflation, rising levels of unemployment and low wage growth have contributed to less disposable household income and subsequently lower consumer spending across most of the UK. The economic constraints of the last five years, such as falling consumer spending, increasing operating costs for businesses (20% rise since 2006) alongside less available, affordable borrowing to businesses have led to large numbers of high street retailers closing their doors. The Centre for Retail Research (2013) reported that 54 retail companies...

...President/ General Manager (Jim Harrison), the company is now under the watchful eye of Dr. Roger Cahill (also known as King of the Hill). In an industry with rapidly growing revenues and demand, in a sector that was highly competitive, BoldFlash still has the significant competitive advantage of operating its own plants. After a few months on the job, Cahill was able to deduct what he saw as the problem in the Mobile Division as unproductive conflicts between the functional departments, particularly around the product development processes. It is clear that manufacturing is the dominant function of the organization and with its competitive nature, seems to be pulling its weight. Due to the unclear roles of departments, isolation of departments, as well as the conflicting roles of departments, manufacturing is suffering. Conflicting Performance Metrics In many ways conflicting performance metrics of each group are contributing to the problem. Currently the performance metrics of each department are left either unclear or overlapping between groups. The conflicting performance metrics are causing opportunities to be missed, frustration between employees and departments, lower profit margins, lack of information flow through the mobile division, and the development of products that do not currently have a market need. It is necessary to create more clear and effective performance metrics in order to create an atmosphere that allows ideas for creation of new products while ensuring...

Esta evaluación se hace utilizando estándares orientados de manera financiera (presupuestos, reducción de costos en un periodo).

DISCIPLINA Ha de tener como cualidades: sabiduría, sinceridad, benevolencia, coraje y disciplina. Las distancias, y hace referencia a dónde es fácil o difícil desplazarse. Implica: El que está a la cabeza del ejército está a cargo de las vidas de los habitantes y de la seguridad de la nación. Lo más importante en una operación militar es la victoria y no la persistencia. Si utilizas al enemigo para derrotar al enemigo, serás poderoso en cualquier lugar a donde vayas. En consecuencia, un general inteligente lucha por desproveer al enemigo de sus alimentos. Cada porción de alimentos tomados al enemigo equivale a veinte que te suministras a ti mismo. Los que no son totalmente conscientes de la desventaja de servirse de las armas no pueden ser totalmente conscientes de las ventajas de utilizarlas. Nunca es beneficioso para un país dejar que una operación militar se prolongue por mucho tiempo.

...por tradición, se canta una de ellas y el coro. | | HISTORIA DEL HIMNOHISTORIA DEL HIMNO NACIONAL | 1830-1832: El bardo guayaquileño José Joaquín de Olmedo escribe una Canción Nacional (un coro y cuatro estrofas) en homenaje al naciente Estado ecuatoriano. Esta creación sugerida por el Gral. Juan José Flores no fue musicalizada ni tampoco logró difusión. 1833: Un himno con título de Canción Ecuatoriana (seis estrofas) se publicó en la Gaceta del Gobierno del Ecuador No. 125 del 28 de diciembre. El trabajo señala 1830 como el año de su creación, pero la mayoría de los cronistas no le presta total atención por ser de un autor anónimo. 1838: Una Canción Nacional (coro y cinco estrofas) aparece incluida en el folleto Poesías del General Flores en su retiro de La Elvira, que publicó la Imprenta del Gobierno. En edición posterior presenta cambios en su tercera estrofa. Aún así, para los historiadores es la segunda Canción Nacional que se conoce. 1865: El músico argentino, Juan José Allende, que colaboraba con el Ejército del Ecuador, presenta al Congreso...
