...a problem as children could get accustomed to liking one parent more than the other or maybe they just simply don't know their other parents. Being aware of this, the investigator decided to do some research within his community on single parent families. He also investigated some of the possible reasons why the other parent was not around. Method of Investigation The method of investigation used by the investigator was questionnaires. Questionnaires are not only easy to use, but they allow the persons being investigated to remain anonymous as they are not required to write their names. Questionnaires are also efficient in the collection and analysis of data. 1 CHAPTER TWO Design of Study The research was conducted over a 2 week period which the respondents had a maximum of three days to complete the questionnaire and return them to drop boxes located around the community.

Entrepreneurs take great risks. But it’s the road that leads to the rags-to-riches dream and keeps America on top of the business world. Pioneering capitalists and entrepreneurial leaders didn’t have the advantage of being able to study business geniuses and learn their leadership styles and how they would approach methods leading to business success. They were the geniuses that paved the road for the way we do business today. Thanks to those first pioneers and others that followed through the industrial revolution and beyond, today we have many business giants we can study to get an idea what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur.

...certainly argue that without the pirate that was Steve Jobs, Apple would not be what it is today. Steve Jobs may very well be one of the leading entrepreneurs of his time, but other distinguished individuals have also followed down similar paths to profits and social change. Entrepreneurs take different approaches in determining their path to success. Two such paths are the profit-oriented and social-responsibility oriented entrepreneurial approaches. Though similarities exist between both approaches, numerous differences do as well. Steve Jobs said, “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” It is however, up to the entrepreneur to decide which path of innovation to forge. Tim O’Shaughnessy, founder of LivingSocial.com, is one such entrepreneur whose path to success followed that of the profit-oriented approach. “For-profit organizations focus on business goals, such as making money. Even when for-profit organizations become involved in social activities, their prime purpose is usually to make a profit” (Ruvio, Rosenblatt, & Hertz-Lazarowitz, 2010). According to their website, LivingSocial claims, “Innovation and imagination have made LivingSocial the fastest-growing company in the social-buying category.” (“LivingSocial,” n.d.). LivingSocial offers a service to customers while remaining focused on profits. According to Satariano and MacMillian, (2011) this company, which has only been in existence for four years, employs over 1500 employees...

...Confidentiality Confidentiality can be defined as an explicit or implied guarantee by a researcher to a respondent in social science research whereby the respondent is confident that any information provided to the researcher cannot be attributed back to that respondent. According to IRB Guidebook, U.S. National Institutes of Health (1993), Office for Protection from Research Risks, Protecting Human Research Subjects assert that: Confidentiality pertains to the treatment of information that an individual has disclosed in a relationship of trust and with the expectation that it will not be divulged to others in ways that are inconsistent with the understanding of the original disclosure without permission. (p. 3) The data that is collected should be kept very confidential, as research involves the people of the United States of America. The people were informed about their rights to confidentiality and anonymity before interviewing them. Very good care is taken to maintain the confidentiality of the information they provided. Documents will be stored safely in a bank locker and they are accessed only by the researcher. Documents will be destroyed after 5 years.

This age group is selected because generally this age group people are the ones who are directly or indirectly involved in setting-up their own small business. They are divided into two groups...

...Entrepreneurial Leadership Task 1 Analyze and describe the founding leader, leadership style, and major business principles of a profit-oriented entrepreneurial approach in which the primary goal is to provide a product or service to consumers and to make a profit. Task 1 Response At the age of 22, John Schnatter founded Papa John’s Pizza in 1984 (Cendrowski, 2009). Mr. Schnatter converted a broom closet at Mick’s Lounge bar into a takeout pizza restaurant (Cendrowski, 2009). The concept of the takeout pizzeria was conceived during his studies at Ball State University (Cendrowski, 2009). During this time, he wanted to build a pizza brand based on the principle of “Better ingredients, better pizza” (Cendrowski, 2009). Since the inception of the company, Papa John’s has developed a strong quality claim and devote consumer base taking the company from small beginnings to the third largest pizza chain in the United States (Brandau, 2009). As a leader, Mr. Schnatter believes in hard work and demands his employees produce a superior product. According to the Papa John’s website, Schnatter developed six core principles every employee from the lowest level on up must memorize and repeat daily (2011). The core principles are: Focus-Constantly deliver a superior Papa John’s pizza; Accountability-Do what we say we are going to do, and do it; Superiority-Demand “Best in-class” at everything you do; P.A.P.A (People are priority always)-Our success depends on how well...
