...of college. She is anticipating a large expense on books but is hoping to save some money on purchasing school supplies by looking at discount retailers instead of the college bookstore. Misty has found two companies, Company A and Company B, with some great back to school deals on school supplies. Company A is offering ten percent off each dollar spent on school supplies with no minimum purchase required. While that sounds like a great deal, Company B is offering twenty-five percent off all school supplies purchased after spending an initial one hundred dollars. While both options offer a great discount, Misty wants to determine which would save her the most money. Before moving any further, Misty must determine what her total bill for school supplies might be by identifying the items she will need to purchase and then totaling the final cost. Once that has been ascertained, she will need to calculate the possible savings on each plan to determine which one will be most cost effective.

...determination. Southwest’s operations involves low cost methods to get customer to places while the culture focuses on promotion of its satisfaction-based culture- both internally and externally; people seem to love giving into the company more than they love the company’s returns. A big airline is most likely to be the competitor. It is very likely that the corporation can introduce a system of short-haul, cheap flights via a standardized fleet with ease. The billions in revenue generated from other divisions can provide the capital required; they can even have the option to operate at a loss for a while. The question, then, turns to one of sustaining this division by attracting customers from companies like Southwest. Besides setting low prices and attempt to maximize efficiency, the question becomes: can the division’s efficiency outstrip that of Southwest’s? As stated, Southwest’s culture inspires employees to work, thus productivity and efficiency increases. This is the key behind the company’s success: fostering culture and turning the results into profit. Can a big company replicate or build the culture? Replication is difficult because usually big wigs are reluctant to change their own culture of following rules to the letter like traditional big companies to an upbeat style of Southwest. Instead of satisfying customers, maximizing shareholder value takes priority and this choice could be detrimental to the divisions’ cause (shareholders may also not be happy at the prospect...

...Although the imminent success in the last few years,some issues have brought the company down. The pending issues that are troubling the company are the employees conditions abroad, the buying of reebok and it's sales drop last year 2012. In the website oxfam, which analyses the conditions of workers abroad, it is stated:" we asked Adidas to implement worker's rights in Indonesia". (Oxfam 1).

...outs of internal controls. It will also tell why they are important not only to companies, but why they are important to investors, creditors, and even the public too. Internal controls are a serious of methods and measures that companies put in place to insure that errors or irregularities in the accounting process do not happen very often. In every company there is a chance of having one or more employees who are dishonest and may take from the company. Internal controls helps to keep this from happening on a regular basis. Internal controls have two primary goals. The first primary goal is to safeguard a company’s assets. This goal is to protect a company’s assets from being misused without permission, theft, and even robbery. The second goal of internal controls is to improve the consistency and correctness of a company’s accounting records. Internal controls accomplish this goal by decreasing the threat of errors or irregularities in the financial accounting process (Internal Controls, 2012). These two goals help make companies trust their employees and investors feel confident in their decision to invest in a company. Internal controls have not always been enforced. This is the reason for the collapse of Enron, Tyco, etc. The Sarbonese-Oxley Act (SOX) has helped make internal controls a requirement for all publically traded U. S. Corporations. SOX forces companies to pay attention even extra attention to their internal controls. The Sarbonese-Oxley...

...orientations. No more is our country made up of only Caucasians and African Americans. Diversity is all around us and tolerance is what needs to be learnt by individuals, groups, and companies. The problem is that we all know that workforce diversity is something we can’t avoid, but many of us still try to. When someone doesn’t speak our dialect or eats different food in the lunchroom it can create uncertainty among people who are uncomfortable with “new.” It is people’s natural reactions and human instincts that make accepting new people who are different scary and unnerving. McDonalds, Dell and Boeing are three companies that have managed multicultural organizations well and continue to show other companies what a benefit it can be. Workforce diversity is a term that arose in the 1970’s and hasn’t stopped rearing its head to society. McDonalds was one of the first companies in the seventies that had a department devoted to affirmative action. Pat Harris is currently McDonald’s chief diversity officer overseeing an evolving diversity initiative. She existed with the company during the early stages of workforce diversity. Harris claims that she doesn’t use the word program to describe the company’s objective regarding diversity because it has a beginning and an end. Diversity is an ever-changing issue for the company and being flexible and open to new possibilities is important. Pat claimed that education would drive business and ensure that everyone understood variety in people. Educational...

...that was spun off from the IBM Corporation to be a standalone business and this has caused some restructuring within the company. The sales department underwent a major shift from individual compensation packages to a team compensation concept that was not immediately embraced by everyone in the organization which led to some defections and put the company in a position to be short staffed. This raised questions about the concept itself and whether it was a workable plan and also if the compensation is an adequate motivator and measure of personal performance. The analysis of this case really comes to the point of do they have the right people to make this team work? And thru continuing education can the company get and retain the right people? Is the compensation package correct? These questions and more will be addressed. The problem started by being short staffed almost from the start when two account managers quit due to lack of control of their earnings as they saw it and disappointment from not being chosen as team leader. Getting the right people on board quickly and effectively would be a key, but “As difficult as it is, resist the temptation to hire for the short-term because bad hires are poison.” (Tao, 2012) This is true in this case because they were worried about making quotas, but if they hire the wrong person then it only sets the company farther behind. This is all a huge part of the salesforce socialization. “Salesforce socialization refers to the process by...
