...is to graduate and move up in my job. By setting my goal I am going to school, doing my homework and passing my class. If I’m not able to do those then I won’t be able to set my goal. Taking this survey has taught me a lot about the way I think and the way I am. I am very organized and I’m very outgoing, that’s what I know about myself and how others that know me would describe me. Taking this survey tells me I am good at building a diverse team and that I am good at working with a team, which I believe, can be true. I manage five different girls; working with younger girls I have to keep up with them. Most of the girls that I work with are eighteen through twenty. I have to communicate and make sure they are doing well. I communicate with them and I let them know that I’m always here to talk. There is a point where I also have to keep it professional. I always ask them “how are you?” or “anything going on?” not to be nosey but to make sure they are coming in happy and having a smile on their faces. Persuasive communication is always used at work, for anybody. I use it because I have to get the girls to think the way I do so they can sell and are able to make money. Everyone uses persuasive commination because they want others to think like them. References: Career Plan Building Activity: Reasoning Aptitude...

...Audience Analysis Paper Yolanda Kinard COM/285 May 29, 2012 University of Phoenix Audience Analysis Paper When addressing an audience situation you should always keep in mind some people in your audience may not be who you think they are. When looking out in the audience sometimes you would find managers, sales personnel, and the average customer. Therefore you would want to always try not to stereotype and not be basis to make sure you do not defend any one. As a manager addressing an audience it is always good to be non-verbal instead of being verbal. Make sure you project your voice so that the person at the back of your audience can hear you as if they were sitting right in front of you. Remember to be careful with your approach to your audience because if it is not correct sometime the audience can get the wrong idea. The manager must always have a time frame or an agenda so that he or she may stay on track of what is being spoken about. Always consider the non verbal communication appropriate when giving a speech. Reason being a person’s hair, clothing, colors that they are wearing, height and age can communicate to you in many different channels and signals. The channels can lead you to be aware of the different diversity types in your audience. Keep in mind when speaking to never to mention religion, gender, and race. You will always have a diverse audience and you do not want to offend anyone at anytime. You never know if the business dill that you have been...

...variety of different influences on how a business is run. And they can all play a part in the success of a business in one way or another. 1- Customers- The stakeholder that I believe has the most influence on Tesco and its success is the customers, the reason for this is that the customers are the ones who buy the products that Tesco sell. Therefore if Tesco did not have any customers then their business would not work as they will have no one buying their goods. 2- Employees- The stakeholder I would put in second would be the employees, as they also play a big influence in the success of a business. This is because they carry out day to day jobs within Tesco, such as stacking shelves and making sure everything is suited to the customers’ needs. Employees also play a big impact on Tesco’s aims as without employees they would not be able to operate. Therefore it is important that Tesco take care of their internal stakeholders, as if there internal stakeholders are happy they can then tell their friend/family about the company. 3- Shareholders Shareholders have a direct influence on an organisations aims and objectives. This is because shareholders want the business to increase the profits or the growth as it means that if Tesco makes a higher profit then the shareholders will get more money back. Shareholders are people that own some parts of the company and each year they get some of the profits that Tesco will make. Anybody can buy shares from the UK stock...

...The Pearl’s Lessons In John Steinbeck's The Pearl, there are a ton of life lessons. There are so many examples of life lessons it’s hard to pick one. Because of the many uses of life lessons, this novel has been named a parable. The main lessons I took away from this novel are money causes problems, people are more important than objects no matter how much “more valuable” the object is than the person, and listen to the people closest to you. In this novel the only reason people read it was because money caused Juana and Kino problems. Money was wrecking Kino’s relationship with Juana and Kino's brother Juan Tomas. The Pearl is a lot like Lord of the Rings in the sense that you have this object and people will do anything for it and the...

...manage inventory well and still make a profit are Amazon.com and Zappos. Amazon.com is an online company that was founded by Jeff Bezos in the 90’s. Amazon.com sold books online during the early internet years. In a short amount of time it was a success. At the beginning, “Amazon.com carried only about 2,000 titles in stock in its Seattle warehouse”. (Amazon.com, Inc., 2015) Their inventory at that time was very simple compared to how it is now. To stay on top of the competition, Amazon diversified from just selling books online to other products like DVDs, toys, clothing, electronics and just about anything you can think of. Having multiple merchandise requires a strategic central location where the items can be shipped to the customer. Amazon houses their inventory in different states across the country. In order for them to have a variety of items to sell, they have other companies sell their products through the Amazon website and Amazon will fulfill the orders. Amazon has fulfillment centers that house the inventory of businesses that want to sell through Amazon.com. Amazon also makes sure the products that are hot sellers are always kept in stock to prevent a stockout. “Once it is time to get the products ready to ship, Amazon employees scour the warehouse armed with a handheld barcode reader, sorting items based on type, time of day for shipment and even potential...

...The Pardoner’s Tale provides a moral story told by a corrupt and greedy Pardoner. His tale sends the message that greed is the root of all evil, and that it would only bring death upon anyone who is guilty of that sin. However, the Pardoner tells the pilgrims that he only preaches for his own gain, and that he would take money from anybody. Although his story is morally sound, the Pardoner’s immoral views and tactics of earning money deny any possibility of the tale sending a moral message. The Pardoner’s Tale cannot send a moral message, as the Pardoner himself is guilty of being corrupt and greedy. The Pardoner preaches about the evils of avarice, yet he himself partakes in the sin. His greed shows no bounds, as the Pardoner said, “I...

...In the essay by Pamela Ronald, “The truth About GMOs”, Ronald talks about how genetically modified organisms are safe to consume. There are no reasons why GMOs are unsafe, “Genetically engineered crops currently on the market are as safe to eat and safe for the environment as organic or conventional foods.” GMOs have been around for many years and not a single person has died from them. Over the years people have been changing and modifying crops left and right trying to creating stronger and more durable crops to withstand insects and diseases. GMOs are safe for consumption and great for the human population growth because without GMOs people would have an even more serious issue with hunger in the world. With the help of GMOs, farmers are able to use less pesticides on plants allowing the crops to be less harmful and toxic to our environment and to us. With modifying crops they can create them to be resistant to pests and other things, “Genetic engineering can be used not only to combat pests and diseases, but also to enable farmers to use less harmful chemicals to control cropchoking weeds.” Using a lot of herbicide is more dangerous and harmful than genetically modifying crops. Scientists found a better way to help the environment by creating GMOs. In many ways using less herbicide helps the planet, thus helping the people. Using less means less toxins in the air and it allows all of the beneficial insects to live while the bad insects die...

...Assignment 1: Comparing Two Similar Businesses Bus302: Management Concepts Border Books and Amazon.com both started out selling books. So, why is Amazon.com one of the largest retailers in the world and Borders Books is out of business? There are many things that go into making a business a success. It is not enough to have a product to sell and a location to sell that product. In order to understand the difference between Amazon.com and Borders Books, it is important to look at the history and core business of each company, the management approach each company took to Internet marketing and sales, the reasons for Amazon’s success despite not turning a profit for the first five to six years, the reasons Borders Books, although they were initially successful ended up in bankruptcy, the extent to which the management of each company adapted to changing market conditions, and ways a company should build flexibility to back up its decision making process so to adapt to changing market conditions. In order to understand the difference between Amazon.com and Border Books, it is important to understand the history and core business of each company. Looking at Amazon.com first, Amazon.com opened for business on July, 16 1995. “The company was nothing more than a few people packing and shipping boxes of books from a two-car garage” (Webley, 2010). The company was using a desk made out of an old door to pack the books. When Amazon.com first started selling...

...How much does it take for this generation to change their eating habits? The generation around the world is known for a large percentage of people being obese. Who the society blames are restaurants and the food they consume that causes them to become addicted. People consume foods that are not as healthy as they think. Conservatives are getting obese because they are always eating at restaurants and lack of working out. In reality is there no motivation for them to work out or what is the excuse for not burning off any junk food they consume. Restaurants are not a place to blame because what they sell benefits them on the profit they earn. People are what they eat and what fast fooders consume. There are many ways in which consumers and obese...

...Case Study: "Personal Selling and Sales Promotion at Scholfield Honda" June 29, 2014 1. How important is sales force management in Scholfield Honda’s overall success? Why? a. The sales force management in Scholfield Honda’s is extremely important overall success. This is because of the emphasis placed on the sales force management; the new hire process is extensive for the sole purpose of catering to the public. Management knows that the key to a successful company is to maintain a happy sales force. Hiring good attitudes is the core theory behind the success of Scholfield Honda. Each sale associate’s interview is required to go through three senior people before the final approval process. Trust and attitude is said to be a pretty big deal for Scholfield. Scholfield has a saying “we can train anybody to do anything, but we can’t train you to be a happy person (Boone & Kurtz, 2012).” Their staff actually likes and believes in their products and if the sales and service crew feel this way the more likely, they are going to want the customers to share in their view. I believe that this is why Scholfield has done so well is because the way the place emphasis on the type of people they hire because unhappy people are not good salesperson. Selling is a high-energy position. No one wants to buy a car from a depressed salesperson. 2. Which step in the sales process is most important in a consumer’s decision to purchase a car? b.

... Professor: Dr Patrick Sanderson Submitted by: John-Miguel Onkony Course: Bus 520 Strayer University Fall Quarter 2011 1. Discuss the role of leadership and how it can impact organizational performance. Leadership is defined as the process of developing ideas and a vision, living by values that support those ideas and that vision, influencing others to embrace them in their own behaviors, and making hard decisions about human and other resources. The role of a leader is very vital in a company. The ability of organizations to achieve their goals depends on the degree to which leadership abilities and styles enable managers and team leaders to plan, organize, control, influence, and act effectively. The leader must learn how to handle the behaviors of employees, and they also have to be very familiar with the company and its competitors and customers. The leader helps determine and set the tone for the company successes and failures. Business owners will set the leadership tone for their organization by developing a mission of values to operate their company. Company policies or guidelines are set from the company's mission or values. Successful organizational performance...

...grandma isn’t a milk and cookies grandma. My grandma’s name is Sandy, well actually it’s Sandra but everyone just calls her Sandy. She is my dad’s mother. She is only in her early sixties but looks like she is only fifty. She looks and acts younger. She has short blonde hair and is around 5’5” and wears contacts most of the time.

She has worked at a bank all my life and at one point she was the president of the Collinsville Building and Loan, but now she works at Federal Community Bank in Collinsville. She is a very brilliant woman with a wide vocabulary. I love talking to her just because I love to hear the difference in the language use between her and me. She has a very wide vocabulary and I use a lot of slang terms. You can definitely see the difference in the generations. She is the kind of person that doesn’t judge a book by its cover. She gets to know someone first and even after that she doesn’t judge anybody. She tells me all the time that life is too short to have enemies so just be friends with everybody and if your personalities don’t click then find someone else. I try to live my life like that, but sometimes I catch myself still judging people. She has taught me a lot of what I know today. When you first meet my grandma, she always looks really nice and some say she looks high maintenance. She tells...
