(DeLong, & Ager, 2005) Bill Bailey’s concerns regarding the merger indicate that he feels that the merger would financially benefit the orchestra much more than it would benefit the opera. Bill may be able to successfully avoid the merger if he were to concentrate on illustrating the negative equity that the merger would bring to the opera and also on the fact that the opera really doesn’t need the orchestra in order to succeed. Because of this perceived inequality in regards to the merger outcome, Adams’s Equity Theory of Motivation would be a good choice to oppose the merger. “Defined generally, equity theory is a model of motivation that explains how people strive for fairness and justice in social exchanges or give- and- take relationships. As a process theory of motivation, equity theory explains how an individual’s motivation to behave in a certain way is fueled by feelings of inequity or a lack of justice, (Kinicki, & Kreitner, 2010) The opera is financially stable, has a sizable endowment fund, and has successfully expanded the number of its annual performances from three to four.
Investors investing in an IPO are aware that it takes time to see a solid return/profit when a company is expanding into new ventures and that risks are involved. Most importantly, investors know that a risk has to be taken for continued growth and for the health of the company. CanGo needs to offer an IPO so that they have the funding to expand and grow. Issue 4 Hidden costs The team at CanGo hasn’t even considered what the hidden costs to the business might be if they branch out into the new projects they are currently exploring. They are not adding additional staff, equipment, or software so spreading the resources out could cause the quality of the existing products to suffer.
Another reason why I agree with their decision to move is that at the moment they are not getting as much profit as they forecasted so clearly operating in a Niche market is not working so it makes sense to move into a mass market and increase their sales. It could be argued that it is not a good idea for Shearings to try and appeal to a mass market and move out of the niche market. This is because they were getting a steady profit operating in a niche market so it is a bit of risk moving into a market they are unfamiliar with which could be a huge failure because they are spending lots of money trying to make it work like the £2 million on advertising and the further £35 million they spent on expanding to accommodate the new customers and if it doesn’t work they are left with a huge cash outflow and no where near enough inflows to cover it. Another reason why I would disagree with their decison is that in mass market are huge competitor like Thomas Cook, which could be more appealing to customers, as it is a relatively known name or because they may be able to offer lower prices, this would lead ton o increase in income and would lead to several problems. Overall I think the decison depends on whether the move is affordable as at
Greg has stated because of his religious belief, it is not feasible for him to work weekends. Greg may believe that he has a religious discrimination case but will be difficult to prove in court. Cost Club has gone the extra mile of the scope of the company to accommodate Greg and his beliefs. The company has made provisions for Greg not to work weekends unless it was necessary. Therefore, the company would win this case because it has provided and paid attention to the needs of
For Pharma to survive and become viable it was obvious that some decisions had to be made, but was the sale of the assets in the best interest of the corporation, or was it in the best interest of Adams and Barker? One can only conclude that the directors violated all their duties of financial interests, care and rational belief and were not acting with best information and, thus, cannot be shielded by the business judgment rule. 7. What type of lawsuit, derivative or direct, would be filed by Cornelius
The Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional because it did not give the presidential administrations the power to remove board members (Younglai et al., 2010). Another major con of SOX is the cost to comply with the audit requirement. Many lawmakers fear that these costs are pushing firms to move their operation oversees (Sarbanes-Oxley Act. (n.d.). Overall, SOX has caused companies to be more forthcoming with their financial data at the same time instilling more confidence from the public.
This is conveyed by the start of the play, where Lewis doesn’t know himself. “I’m only doing this for the money” which conveys that Lewis doesn’t care for the play and therefore cannot be satisfied with the task undertaken. “Day outside but pitch black inside” emphasises the truths that can be revealed on the inside of the theatre if Lewis lets them be revealed. “We can’t do this without the music” emphasises that Roy, who thinks he’s directing the play, doesn’t believe Lewis will be able to make the play successful without the music. The self-respect one earns can lead them to greater things if it is accepted, the light can reveal a path when truths have been found.
If advertisers were to keep their ads on the Rush Limbaugh show, they run the chance of being viewed by the public as supporters of the statements made by Limbaugh. Since the public generally opposes the actions of rush Limbaugh, they would likely do their best to stay away from anyone associated with him in order to show their disdain with his actions. If the public were to shy away from the advertisers for the rush Limbaugh show, that would mean a loss in much desired revenue for the company. In order to protect the image of the companies whose advertisers who supported Rush Limbaugh’s show, removed their ads to remove their association with Limbaugh and the negative attention he has brought to himself. The “Premiere Network” which syndicates Limbaugh’s show may choose to drop his station from syndication for the same reason of not wanting to be associated with the negative publicity brought to Limbaugh and his
Things would run better with no competition for office. The program would have problems. The people of the state might not agree with the program. Philosophers may refuse to take up office because the life of a philosopher would be better than that of a ruler. It would be hard for this program to work in a democracy since the people may not agree with it.
Macbeth and Red Maggies rise raises expectations Ambition and desire can be both good and bad. Without ambition we wouldn’t have leaders, a drive for success and we wouldn’t push ourselves to excel at life. Yet if you take your ambition too far you can end up destroying your own moral code. You can lose your life, your good name, your family and every single inch of yourself. People’s desires aren’t needs but wants.
