Asset leverage allows ALL to use their best operational assets to expand their business and improve their market share. Customers are absolutely fundamental to the success of a business. A business without customers is not a proper business I think. Whether you are starting out or have are long established, a lot of time and money is spent trying to gain new customers. It is important to remember that a loyal customer can be just as valuable than new one.
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.
Competitors – they will be only interested if the Business means “ASDA” is not doing so well as this will mean more business for them , because they are offering the same services within the same area. They can use the financial statement of “ASDA” as a “bench mark” for their own performance. Owners- they are the most important stakeholders, because they have established the business and they devoted a lot of their time for the company success. They are the stakeholders, who have the higher interest for the business to raise on profit and value. Employees and Managers- their interest is that the company provides them with decent live hood.
Pro Forma Thomas Walker MGT 300 November 21, 2011 Instructor Trent Dodds Pro Forma Entrepreneurship allows an individual to experience the joy of doing a job he or she loves while taking control of one’s own destiny and providing societal contributions. Despite surmounting wealth there are potential drawbacks. Launching a business requires a huge undertaking of the entrepreneur’s time and energy. There is no way to guarantee the venture will survive, grow, or produce a profit. Developing a strategic business plan to manage capital and human resources is quintessential to escaping some of the potential pitfalls.
Another objective is to maintain good customer service which can make or break a business of any kind. Customers are the heart of any business, keeping the customer happy creates word of mouth about any business and can help the business excel. Finally, having a backup plan is always a good bet due to the fact taking chance on anything can be a hit or miss. But, if a company or business man can possess the first two objectives
The primary goal of any business is to make a profit, regardless of its product. People form businesses because they have a product in which they think consumers want and in-turn the business owner will make a profit selling. Results of a successful business can be seen in many other areas such as creating wealth for its shareholders, creating jobs for the community, building a namesake brand and even increasing property values of the neighborhood in which it is housed. But a business is only as successful as it relates to the community in which it serves. Alienation in the local neighborhood is a sure fire way to go out of business!
Scholars such as Friedman suggest that treating the economic responsibility as the most important responsibility of a business, is called a profit-maximising view, and “the social responsibility of a business is to increase its profits.” This kind of view states that a company should be operated on a profit-orientated basis, with its sole mission being to increase profits. This approach would seem to benefit stockholders, as well as stakeholders, as the stockholder is going to benefit from the profit made by the company and will gain something back from the company, however problems can occur when the businesses and companies do not balance their ethical responsibility, as they can therefore be perceived as greed and unable to balance their corporate social responsibility, and will cause a bad name for a business. So although the stockholder may also be gaining profit by doing this (what the company sees as doing the right thing) is not necessarily the right thing to do in terms of stakeholders. However, Friedman would argue that as long as the business is maximising its profit, that is the main point and so the loss of the stakeholders is less important. This argument can be deemed as weak as Friedman’s approach does not mean that stakeholders can be benefited alongside stockholders, and so disagrees with
The benefits of our free-market capitalist system which, by the way, is the best economic system on the planet, by a mile are accruing disproportionately to owners, managers, and customers, at the expense of everyone else. If we actually want to put some effort into fixing our economy, we have to fix that. Specifically, we have to persuade companies and their owners to hire more employees and share more of their immense wealth and profits with them. Most importantly, companies don't need to do this just for altruistic reasons (though no one would object if they did). If enough companies do this, they will not just help their employees.
6 Social Responsibility within Company Q Social Responsibility within Company Q Daniel R. Beckerman Western Governors University WGU Student #000322976 For any given business, the greatest potential for revenue growth can be found through a mix of focusing on providing for the shareholders, as well as thinking of the stakeholders as a whole. This means focusing past short term profits and creating a plan that demonstrates a measure of social responsibility. Business reputation goes a long way towards creating how large a company’s customer base is going to be, and giving the appearance of not caring about the community can lead to a loss of customers and a loss of additional revenue in the long run.
What make a company successful in a long term are its innovation, service, products, and management. All of these do not happen without the help of good employees. From a short term viewpoint layoffs make a company more viable but from a long term viewpoint it can precariously destroy the culture and affect the good people the company needs to run the business in the
