Credit crunch and recession are great examples of external factors influencing the business. If the people are suffering from recession, they will not have money to spend money and this is how it affects the businesses. The current instability in Iraq is a good example of what may happen to businesses. In business it’s very important to understand, monitor and adapt to the political environment, because it crucially affects every business. Some of the very important factors are: Government stability effects businesses in a great range by competing with businesses to lower their costs, transparency is another important factor where anything the business does is revealed to the government and the government know exactly what they are up to.
We finally recorded the goldfish’s BPM in the 10OC beaker of water. Our results were 46, 55, and 49 which gave us an average of 50 BPM. This data proves that the goldfish took more breaths in warmer water than it did in colder water because the oxygen molecules are arranged further apart in warmer temperatures. In order for the goldfish to get the oxygen it needed, the goldfish had to maintain a stable level of internal conditions even though the water temperature was changing. This is called homeostasis.
The goal of this experiment is to see if putting two fish in a flask stresses out the fish by comparing the metabolic rate of a single fish in a flask to the metabolic rate of a fish when it shares the flask with another fish. By putting two fish in the flask at once, the fish will be crowded and we can measure its stress by it metabolic rate. If multiple fish are held in the same flask at once, their stress will increase, increasing their metabolic rates compared to a single fish in a flask. Methods: As a control to the crowded fish, the metabolic rate for a single fish in a flask was measured. The initial oxygen in the flask was measured, and then the fish was put in a flask for 30 minutes.
The weakness of Kudler Fine Foods is that an IPO (Initial Public Offering) has many inherent and potential weaknesses that must be examined prior to selection as a means for expansion. An IPO is the first sale of stock by a company. There are many advantages and disadvantages for the Kudler Fine Foods to go public through the IPO. The advantages include generating more capital needed to expand their three locations The IPOs are very expensive undertaking, and a large portion of any capital acquired will be lost to this cost. Because the company must produce all financial information to the SEC many businesses find it to be very stressful and time consuming which takes time and money away from a company that is thriving like Kudler Fine Foods.
Tootsie Roll Industries Inc. Loan Package In the current corporate arena, the steady decline of business has been evident with company closures, loss of jobs, and foreclosures on properties. For a business to survive in such a harsh environment, a sound business plan is necessary along with knowledge of the marketplace and the needs of consumers (The U.S. Small Business Administration, 2012). A company also needs to review operations to ensure its processes are efficient and cost effective. As a business expands and ages, it requires updating equipment that integrates advanced technology. The proposed plan for financing new equipment and technology will reduce costs, increase product gross margins, and maximize opportunities for dividends.
Melissa Day HRM 587 Professor Stone Week 2 Images of Change November 8, 2013 Change frequently occurs in a company. That change can manifest itself in a change in leadership-like a new CEO, downsizing due to structural reordering, or acquiring new companies to improve business output and diversifying ones product line. From an employee (and for some members of management) standpoint change can cause fear and stress, because change shakes people from where they were comfortable and it asks them to do something different, something they may be uncomfortable with-however, the only constant in life (both personal and professional) is change. For my project, I have selected two companies that have undergone changes throughout the past year:
Ethics Paper MGT498 Ethics Paper One of the biggest things that big named organizations sometimes tend to forget is that when difficult decisions must be made, they affect everyone within that organization. Whether it be budget cuts leading to loss of hours or layoffs, lower stocks percentages for the shareholders or it can even change things positively, and require more production of hiring. Either way, when issues come up and things change, it is important to keep everyone involved well informed and made in the best interest of those directly affected. In the business world, corporations have a responsibility to the employees as well as the stakeholders to be ethical in their decision making by staying true to their beliefs and behavior to society. When unethical decisions are made, everyone involved in the corporation and its well being are affected in a negative way and will jeopardize the well being of the business.
IV. Analysis Different types of risks and risk analysis are discussed first in this part because most members of Cranfield’s executive committee are strange with newly techniques of risk analysis. 1. a) Firm’s should be concerned with the riskiness of individual projects because the profitability of that project can effect the income/success of the firm as a whole. The firm must also consider whether the project will increase the firm’s and stockholders’ risk. b) 1.
Confidence's Cost to Collaboration The corporate formula for innovation often focuses on creating a team of experts to cook up the next big thing. Groups of managers -- typically composed of individuals from a variety of fields, including engineering, marketing and operations -- band together to develop new products or services that can create top-line growth. In a recent paper, Wharton management professor Jennifer Mueller and Wharton lecturer Julia Minson looked at the dark side of teamwork -- the tendency of those groups to become insular and less efficient as they grow in complexity. In "The Cost of Collaboration: Why Joint Decision-making Exacerbates Rejection of Outside Information," Minson and Mueller found that people working in pairs were more likely to dismiss outside input than individuals working alone.

Today, cross-culture play an important role in the world, especially in global economy.Warren Troob argues in Bridging the gap, Business Review Quarterly that people always break their cross-cultural communication with contrast instead of understanding them and creating many opportunities for their business by having common mistakes.Firstly, he points out that people take their habits to evaluate others’ culture and overgeneralise people from one culture are similar.Moreover, people always assume that their actions are always best and right so, they look others’ differently.Secondly, Troob indicates that cross-cultural communication is too challenging, and it is also unregarded widely. This critical response argues that Troob’s argument that people think they always do the best and natural ways and overgeneralization are weak
