In addition, in the paper is a suggestion that would be the best recruitment strategy to achieve the goal of drawing qualified personnel from within this industry. Finally, a detail approach to offering a position to an applicant Recruitment Strategies Recruitment is deciding on the need for personnel in one or more job openings. It is essential for a company to recognize whether an open or targeted recruitment strategy is effective, and to understand which one will succeed in meeting the company’s requirements. For instance, if a company has to fill more than 35 vacancies, the only true option for it is to choose an open recruitment policy. The open recruitment policy helps in attracting a number of applicants, including an assorted group of people (Heinemann & Judge, 2009). In this way, a pool of employees with differing standards of knowledge, skills, aptitudes, and other characteristics (KSAOs) from which they can select to fill vacancies. Hiring via newspaper, television, job fairs, radio, and media channels will attract numerous candidates to fill...

...Assignment 1 – M1 Analyse the impact of the requirements for a valid contract in a given situation Aled, aged 19, decided he wanted to set up in business. He was planning to buy and sell items both on the internet and by mail order. Aled agreed with his father, Brian, that they would convert a spare room in the family home into a ‘business centre’ with telephone lines, internet and fax facilities and a selection of office furniture and equipment. Aled then entered into the following agreements. Having acquired 1000 pairs of famous brand-name jeans through an internet auction site, Aled placed an advert in a newspaper ‘offering’ the jeans at £9.95 each. Unfortunately, this was a misprint, as the price should have been £19.95. Even this correct price was cheap compared with the normal shop price, and orders by post, as detailed in the advert, began to flood in. He also unexpectedly received some orders by fax, even though his fax number had not been printed in the advert. Aled responded to the orders as quickly as he could, either despatching the jeans or, when he had run out of packaging, sending a confirmation slip promising delivery within 28 days.

That is, cash is exchanged for a reduction in the number of shares outstanding.” (Wikipedia Foundation, Inc.) The intent of this paper is to review stock repurchases as the preferred method of alternative payout for shareholders. There are many reasons why firms choose this option. Past literature shows substantial evidence of reasons that range from capital structure adjustments to takeover defense (Bagwell, 1991). However, in my opinion the strongest reason is because stock repurchases can be used as another method of...

...branch was open in the Houston, Texas market. The bank started out being just like any other bank until idea came along to open branches in-store. Woodforest became a retail partner with Walmart and in 1996 the first in-store branch was open. The branch offered seven day a week full service banking for customers with extended hours. In 1999 Woodforest opened four branches that would be 24 hour braches. By October 27, 2004 Woodforest now had 100 branches available to serve customer needs. In 2005 Woodforest created the Woodforest Charitable Foundation to support and invest in the communities which they serve. The company celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2010 which was big achievement coming from 1 branch to grow to 750. There are two things about Woodforest that stands out from any other bank, Woodforest is open every day with extended hours (also located in Walmart) and they offer Second Chance Checking to customers. Woodforest is open 364 days out of the year. Even though on some holidays the hours maybe shorter the bank still open to assist customers. It is a big deal for customers when the bank is open on Saturday and Sunday because some people work on the weekdays and don’t have time to get to the bank and with Woodforest you always have a chance to make it to the bank. Also the bank is open extended hours Mon-Fri 9am until 7pm. So customers that usually work a 9-5 job could not make it to another bank because most banks close at 5pm but Woodforest is open two extra hours...

...An offer is a show of willingness to enter into an agreement that involves another person’s acceptance. So an offer, that one accepts becomes an agreement. The offeror is the one who makes the offer and the offeree is the person to whom the offer is made. To be a valid offer (I.e., to constitute an offer), a manifestation of intent to enter into a bargain must have the “3 Cs.” First, the contract must embody a promise, or commitment as opposed to a statement of present intention or preliminary negotiation. Statements such as “I intend to sell you my car” or “come talk to me about buying my car” are not offers. Saying “if you pay me 100 dollars, I will sell you my car, is a valid offer. Whether a statement is an offer, depends on whether a reasonable person would believe it to be an offer regardless of the subjective belief, for example, given the trade customs of an industry, would a reasonable person think that an offer was made? The court faced with this situation would consider factors such as; 1) language, whereby the words “offer” or “promise” have been used. Courts also consider the definitiveness of the terms and language of the proposal to help decide whether it is an offer. “First come, first served may indicate an offer because it provides buyers with a clear means of accepting by buying first. 2) Communications made by mass media are usually held to be invitations for offers and not offer themselves. For example, a TV advertisement announcing that a dealer has...

...Software development is an industry still in its infancy. Developing operating systems, the essential program for any computer system, is still evolving as the industry continues to grow. Software development has a unique attribute that sets it apart from other industries. Software can be developed once and then replicated for virtually no cost to be distributed to end users. All operating systems currently on the market have been created as a result of open- or closed-source software development. The major difference between the two development philosophies is the privacy of the source code, particularly whether or not it is available to the public for evaluation, modification, and redistribution. Closed-source operating systems like Microsoft’s Windows and Apple’s Mac OS are more widely used in homes and businesses desktop and laptop computers. Although not as readily adopted, open-source operating systems offer viable alternatives to closed-source. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages associated with them. Closed-source software development more closely resembles the business philosophy used by other industries. Closed-source operating systems are developed by an individual, or team, and made available for purchase to the public. The source-code, however, is never revealed to the public. The product purchased is merely an executable file. The final product cannot legally be modified, sold, or distributed without permission from the copyright owner. In essence, purchasing...

Each of the advertisements indicated that the sale items would be sold on a first come first served basis, stated the quantities of each item available, and stated that they would be sold for one dollar each. Lefkowitz (P) was the first customer to present himself and offer the one dollar price per the terms of the advertisement. The defendant refused to sell the sale items to Lefkowitz and told him that according to the “house...

...Assessment #2 Questions 1.) Is Mr. Alpert obligated to keep the offer open until the specified time? What could Ms. Burke have done to better protect her position? (3 marks) No, R. Alpert is not obligated to keep the offer open if he has received another offer to purchase before the offeree (J.Burke) has accepted it. As specifically stated in the written offer, “I hereby agree to sell to J. Burke my entire fleet of Rolls Royce automobiles for the sum of $1 million. This offer is open until Monday, September 21, at 9:00 a.m.” The offer is a tentative commitment on the part of the person making it. It is only until the other party accepts (the offeree) that the offer becomes contractual and there is an actual binding legal agreement and obligation for R. Alpert to sell only to J. Burke until the stated deadline. The textbook illustrates a perfect example of a very similar scenario in the Dickinson v. Dodds case when Dodds made an offer to sell to Dickinson for $800 and said “this offer to be left over until Friday 9:00 a.m.” There is a clear illustration that there was an open offer and a certain time frame for the offer to be accepted is clearly stated. The case is very important because it truly demonstrates the nature of an offer and the effectiveness of accepting an offer. R. Alpert had the freedom to withdraw at anytime before it was accepted. The Dickinson v. Dodds case also had a similar scenario where Dickinson indirectly found out about the sale of the property...
