...Ted and Harry’s Ice Cream Factory Case Study American University of Sharjah School of Business and Management Executive Masters of Business Administration TED & HARRY’S ICE CREAM FACTORY The Russian Experience Case Study Submitted By: Dhia Karajih Hessa Ahli Issam Abbassi Sameera Al Buraiki Ted and Harry’s Ice Cream Factory 2 Q1: Do you think Ted & Harry’s Russia was a success? There are different views about what makes a business successful. Typically success should be judged by the ability of the business to meet its objectives. The success of businesses can then be judged in terms of their ability to meet important targets (objectives) and creating a cycle of stakeholder satisfaction. Accordingly, we should measure the success of Ted and Harry’s Russia against the objectives Ted and Harry have set when they decided to branch out in Russia and see whether it was met. The idea of promoting peace was the main objective, and from this standpoint, we can say that Ted & Harry Russia was successful in its business experience in Russia. In the first place, Ted & Harry's motivation was sourced from their social responsibility and not just to make profit for the business, although it is an important element of the organization's existence in the market. Moreover, the goal of the organization in branching out in Russia was based on the idea that “International Peace Could Be Promoted Through Cooperative Business Ventures” Ted and Harry believed after their first visit...

...Causes of global warming For a long time people on our Earth didn't think a lot about greenhouse gases. The situation changed when people started using more and more energy in the form of fossil fuels, like oil, gas and coal. We burn fossil fuels to power factories, run cars, produce electricity and heat houses. As fossil fuels burn they let carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. During the last few decades people have also cut down many forests. Trees use carbon dioxide when they make their own food. Fewer trees mean that less carbon dioxide is taken out of the atmosphere. Possible effects of global warming Scientists have different opinions on how warm the Earth's surface will really get. The increase may be between 1.5° C and 6° C by the year 2100. Warmer weather will make ice caps and glaciers melt. Sea levels could rise dramatically. Plants, animals and people living in coastal areas all could be in danger. The weather may change in many areas of the world. Floods, droughts and damaging storms could be the result. People in colder regions might welcome warmer weather but those who live in regions that are already hot may suffer from new diseases. At the same time some animals may not survive because they cannot adapt to the new environment. They could move to other places in order to live there. Reducing global warming Finding a solution to solve the world's biggest environmental problem is not an easy task. Although we need energy to make our economy grow there are things that...

...implementing the Great Game of Life (GGOL) program into the company. Introducing the GGOL program into the company will bring about positive changes to the company that will boost employee morale, employee performance, and subsequently improve the Simmons’ company. Simmons Background The Simmons Bedding Company is one of the biggest mattress and bed related products manufacturer in the United States. Simmons was founded in 1870, when Zalmon G. Simmons opened his first factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The company’s ability to mass produce beds since 1875 enabled the company to grow into one of the biggest companies in the United States (Casciaro & Edmonson, 2007). In the year 2001, The Simmons Company was facing hard times. It had lost three major customers, the US economy was suffering, and Simmons had to get rid of foam using for bed cushioning because it was bad inventory. In addition, Charles Eitel the CEO had discovered that there was friction between manufacturing plants and low morale throughout many of the company factories. Charles Eitel wanted to make significant changes to the culture of the Simmons Company. One of changes that has been debated is whether the costly Great Game of Life (GGOL) program should be implemented to change the company’s culture (Casciaro & Edmonson, 2007). The Great Game of Life (GGOL) The Great Game of Life (GGOL) is a program developed by Larry Wilson, from Wilson Consulting. The program use psychological and sociological actions to build cohesive...

...Macintosh computer which Steve Jobs described as “a machine that is made in America”. In 2004, when the company was not nearly as financially profitable as they are today, they decided their best option was to start manufacturing their products in other countries. The company, who is now a leader in foreign manufacturing, was lagging behind many American companies in terms of manufacturing abroad at that point in time. The majority of their foreign manufacturing takes place in Asia, specifically in China. In the New York Time’s article, “How the U.S lost out on iPhone Work,” Charles Duhigg described Apple’s move to foreign manufacturing from the words of a former Apple executive, “For Mr. Cook, the focus on Asia “came down to two things,”… Factories in Asia “can scale up and down faster” and “Asian supply chains have...

...takes time to interview different employees at Standard Motor Products to determine how it is treating them and how factories are changing in time. Adam is receiving a tour of the plant by manager Tony Scalzitti where he sees many factory workers in blue lab coats, hair nets, and protective eyewear. This is where Adam first runs into Madelyn Parlier. Madelyn Parlier was a 22-year-old woman working in the assembly line at the factory. Her occupation was seemed to be an unskilled job and didn’t require much education or experience. It was all about quickness and effectiveness for Madelyn and that was something she was great at. Madelyn grew up in Greenville, SC and was attending high school and planning on going to college when she got pregnant her senior year. Because of this she couldn’t go to college so like most people there she got a job working at the local Standard factory. Madelyn’s job was to run the laser-wielding machine. All she did was place the parts in the machine and press a button for them to be wielded and if correct a green light appears and she passes the part to the next line in process. With this being such an unskilled job there is always that chance of Madelyn being replaced by a robotic arm or machinery that can do this job for her and in turn create less wages for the company to pay for. Over the last 30 years employment of people in factories have gone down 1/3 because of machinery and computers taking their places in line. They are more productive and less...

...PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, appellee, vs. CARMELITA ALVAREZ, appellant. D E C I S I O N PANGANIBAN, J.: In illegal recruitment, mere failure of the complainant to present written receipts for money paid for acts constituting recruitment activities is not fatal to the prosecution, provided the payment can be proved by clear and convincing testimonies of credible witnesses.

...Labor Practices Factory workers endure abuse on the job lacking a voice or ablility to do anything about it. Since Nike contracts out for their factory managers, it has been hard for Nike to regulate what goes on when they are not on their tour or walk through. “A Korean supervisor in a Vietnam factory was found guilty of beating 15 Vietnamese about the head with a shoe “upper”, and another Korean supervisor was charged with sexual molestation.” (Saporito 3) In this instance it was not an U.S. supervisor, nor was it a military officer but someone of a different nationality. The hard part is that there are no independent unions and meaningful corporate codes of conduct to discipline management. So workers must turn to the courts for help which is a long fought battle that no one wants to attempt. In one case that made it to, a Vietnamese court recently found a Korean supervisor guilty of beating workers and extradition may be sought for the accused sexual molester who fled. In Indonesia 24 discharged Nike workers are challenging the legality of their dismissal before the country’s Supreme Court (Saporito 3). These are major breakthroughs in the court systems to have someone tried and convicted in these distant countries whose courts are often corrupted. Factory conditions are consistently getting press here in the U.S., as many are angry with Nike for not providing for their overseas employees. The following account is of the conditions in a Chiniese factory: Twelve hour...

...bad, well I wish they were around to see what all we had compared to what they have today. The Morse code for example we didn’t have that but they do and they can send messages to people all over the country. They have iceboxes which also mean they have fresh food for weeks. They have running water in the house so no more running to the well to get fresh water. Bathrooms in the house, no more running outside late at night to use the bathroom. The time is changing so much. An industrial revolution is happening right before my eyes. Things are being produced more rapidly and efficiently. Factories are hiring large amounts of workers which means a lot of new houses are being built. There are apartments for people who don’t need houses and large housing facilities for people with large families. Our lives are changing so much that I hardly get to see my wife, I come in from the factory, eat and go to bed to get up early in the morning to head off to work...

...from China frequently, you may know delay in delivery happens a lot here. There are many reasons. But I can list some basic examples here for your reference. 1) The manufactory has many production missions. They need to arrange the production according to their schedule. 2) The factory couldn't manage the production agenda properly. Like they are short of material and need to order from their suppliers 3) The order is not easy to produce due to its high technology and strict requirements then many problems occur in the production. 4) The force majeure or the external factor, like typhoon, on fire, shortage of power. 5) Your order for the supplier is not profitable, they let other VIP or profitable orders produce first. So if the delivery time is very important to you, you need to avoid it when you would like to place the order. How to avoid the delay in delivery? Just like what I suggested to my buyer, I wrote follows: "As I talked to you much earlier, you should sign a contract and write all the terms including the delay in delivery and penalty with your supplier, especially when the 1st order had problem. This will make this supplier to sign the contract with their worked factory and each party will be under the pressures to make things right and properly." Then he asked me...

...into a situation where the only place they afford to live is next to factories. And they are paying the cost in their health. I’ve heard many stories about pollution issues in Richmond, and I always wonder why these residents decided to live there at the first place and why they still live there. I learned from the article the reason was much more historical than that I thought. People started to move to Richmond before WWII. There was racism and people in color especially African Americans could not live in certain neighborhoods. Simply they did not have a choice. Also from this article I saw that because Richmond is such a poor neighborhood, it seems like the society even don’t care about the fact so many residents are suffering from pollutions. After some toxic air pollution incident, no one came to check up on their health. It looks to me that the society don’t value the residents’ life or health. In addition, this article reminds me of the news report that I’ve read a while ago. It said that it’s very expensive for factories to reduce pollutions so large corporations chose to pay fines to the government instead of solving these issues. I understand businesses are always looking for ways to reduce expenses, but these unethical behaviors of corporations need to be stopped. And I didn’t see the companies in Richmond are reaching out to help these people who are suffering from toxic pollution from their factories. 2. How does it relate to one or more environmental health...

...Executive summary In this case, there are two major problems that I can analyzed. Firstly, Kiki and Houida which are two of major loyal customers of Couture Fashions Bhd (HCF)’s were writing to Jeffrey to inform him that they may looking to China to “contract manufacture” for them as the prices there were very competitive. Second, the previous adverse perception of “Made in China” labels had slowly changed as China now manufactured clothes that are higher quality at substantially lower operating costs. There were some recommendation that are going to implemented which are proposal to expand to China, proposal to close down HCF’s factories in Malaysia and Thailand or manufacturing its own label for Malaysian and Asean market. Statement of Problems HCF may lose their big major loyal customers which is Kiki and Houida as they may looking to China to “contract manufacture” for them as the prices there is cheaper. Apart from that, nowadays China was produce high quality product with cheaper price so then makes the perception of people about the “made in China” goods changed to a good view. This is because of the labour cost in China is cheaper rather than Malaysia. HCF now is very confusing to make decision but based on the problems they have to make accurate decision. According to these problems they have to deeply make consideration of their short term and long terms decision. As far as I am concerned, the short term problem is HCF may lose their big major loyal customers...
