...Why a Master in Business Administration Luis D. Perez Morales MGT/521 MANAGEMENT April-Tuesday, 2011 Dra. Carmen Bonilla-Quianes Why a Master in Business Administration? After almost 11 years of my life working as an IT Support Specialist. I recognized that in some way I was in a better location inside the company, and earning more money than some colleagues that have the same position that I got because I did bring a Bachelors degree for the interview. Don’t get me wrong it didn’t make me better than them at all, but it helps me to get the job and negotiate the salary. It couldn’t happen without the Bachelors Degree. Now I see myself in a career that didn’t fill up my expectations as a professional nor in monetary too. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very thankful for all I’ve been able to do with my actual job. But part of me wants a change right away. After a couple of months of serious research, I find out that most of the people that works in some way supervising personnel and/or founds for a company, got jobs that are in more demand, with better salaries than the one that I got in this moment. Also most of them end up with their own companies, if they what to. Remember, they already know how to run a business; the difference is the type of business. What was the difference between me and them? They were supervisors, managers, and or administrators. I can say a big part of company owners accepts, even likes the idea of having someone else running their company while...

Maden BA 317 International Management 21 April 2013 Instructor Lee Abstract Sustainability combines the principles of economic growth, environmental stewardship, governance, and social accountability. This Compare and Contrast analysis will introduce Managing Partner, David Blood's views on The Case of Sustainable Business.

...Future of Global Communications: An Analysis of, “What the World Will Speak in 2115” Keren Gaona The University of Texas at El Paso Global Business 3304 May 19, 2016 According to the speculations of linguistic expert, John McWhorter, who wrote the article, “What the World Will Speak in 2115,” in one hundred years English will become the most widely understood language. If current trends continue, in the future one can imagine a world in which humans all share a single universal language. Having a common language would potentially open the doors to many opportunities for increased economic activity and cultural interaction. Additionally, as we travel into the 22nd Century, lesser used and more complex languages that are spoken today will become extinct. Subsequently, the few languages that survive will evolve into simplified versions making them much easier to learn. In agreement with McWhorter, is Andres Martinez, a reporter for Time Magazine who wrote, “Why Mandarin Won’t Be a Lingua Franca.” English is one of the languages that will withstand the test of time because of its strong presence in the world today. Martinez lends insight into how the French have watched English gain dominance in spheres of economic influence. A universal language does not mean the demolition of the diversity of cultures that we observe today, it simply means that English will be a middle ground among the nations. A professor and writer from Harvard Business Review, Tsedal Neeley, goes one step...

It has become a vast outlet for many to start their own, in this essay I will explain the role, advantages and disadvantages of business in the economy The Role of Business in the economy is the main component because our economy is capitalistic.

...views in the world, products ideas, and other aspects of culture Why globalization is good: Cheaper production costs and more consumers to sell to; this allows more business opportunities and availability of commodity to the consumer. Untapped markets, different services, investment opportunities. Globalization brings about growth in a countries business for some products are brought about by investors hence increasing the countries’ economy. New business solutions, new ideas are introduced to solve problems; this allows one to get solutions from the exchange of business ideas from other world countries. Why globalization is bad: It uses up finite resources more quickly example coal, oil, nuclear and gas-dependency on business resources that won’t last. Investors tend to invest in less developed countries so as to maximize their profits-the market goes to the country that the possession of the commodity. With the dollar being the world’s reserve currency, globalization can lead to huge US balance of trade deficit and other imbalances. Globalization can move taxation from corporations. Globalization sets up a currency with each country trying to get an export advantage by dropping the value of its currency- thus the prices of the export reducing due to increase in competition within the business market. Encourages dependence on surroundingcountries’ for essential goods and services- this affects business in such that the goods can be obtained from other countries at...
