When you break down what a manager means to a business. The manager is so much more than just a manager, their the educator, planner, analyzer, resource and whatever else the company needs to move forward. Whether it’s Amazon, GE or the NBA a manager takes advantage of market inefficiencies or finds previously undiscovered niches. Managers that can take advantage of these findings take on the characteristics of entrepreneurs, however, they are not entrepreneurs because they work to redirect the inputs of existing companies rather than create new forms of product. According to Berri, D. J., Leeds, M. A., Leeds, E. M., & Mondello, M. (2009) Jack Welch, did not create any new financial services, but did transform GE’s focus from manufacturing to financial services at a time when manufacturing was declining.
Employee Motivation Theory Often times companies that struggle with the relationship between the employees and the goals of the organization; sometimes the moral of its employee is thread that sets the relationship apart. Managers have made several failed attempts to establish that relationship with the employee to knit them together with the goals of the organization.

Enron mainly dealt in the energy business, eventually becoming one of the world’s leading energy and communication companies with claimed revenues of $111 billion in 2000. At the end of 2001, their financial condition was reported to be sustained mostly by systematic and creatively planned accounting fraud, eventually causing the dissolution of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm. This scandal was mainly attributed to Enron creating offshore entities which were not subject to business taxes that raised the profitability of their business. The corporate officers led the deception and created the illusion that they were raking in revenues of billions of dollars when in reality, it was losses. Executives and insiders knew about these offshore accounts that were mainly used to hide losses with the investors completely left in the dark.
Zhilong Richard Chen History 2302 Professor: M. Jamal Jamil Data: Nov. 23, 2011 Richard M. Nixon Richard M. Nixon was the 37th president of United States. Most people know about former President Richard Nixon who was related to the Water Gate scandal, and the only president forced to resign. However, based on Nixon’s achievements in foreign policy, domestic economic policy, human rights and social programs, Nixon should be remembered as one of the greatest presidents in United States history.

Because of his family’s economy status and his sick brothers, Nixon had to give up on Harvard University and had to become a Duke University law student.
From 1979 to 2006, the financial industry’s share in the nation’s corporate profits grew from a fifth to almost a third. By 2006, bankers and insurers were making 70 percent more, on average, than workers in the rest of the private sector. Then they set off again one of the worst financial crises since the Great Depression, and taxpayers bailed them out. The corruption is just not limited to Wall Street but also politicians who made money off of looking the other way. My input on this is that we did not learn anything from the crash of the stock market in 1929.
