In movements such as “Business Unionism” (Schwind, Das, Wagar, 2010, p. 496) unions are formed to protect workers, increase wages, improve work conditions, etc. Similar to class action lawsuits a union uses its strength in number to influence corporate and government organizations, in treatment of its employees and laws affecting employees.

This concept is especially important when a company such as, Riordan Industries ponders an IPO. Currently Riordan Manufacturing and Riordan Industries are each privately held with only their current president and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr. Michael Riordan to answer to. Once the IPO transpires and shareholders own the company, the shareholders or new board of directors may not like the job Dr. Riordan is doing, and he could be replaced. This same scenario could prove true for the Chief Operating Officer Hugh McCauley, each of the top vice presidents, directors, or operation managers as his or her once secure positions are under public scrutiny. Even more scrutiny for Riordan to consider would be answering to the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Sarbanes-Oxley (Michael Davis, 2000 Volume 3 Issue
All partners share in the decision making for the business. A partnership agreement is usually established in order to delegate the responsibilities of each partner such as who will make decisions for the business, how will profits and losses be shared, how much money and time each partner will contribute and even a plan in the event a partner chooses to terminate their share of the business.

The main disadvantage is that just like the sole proprietorship, the personal assets of each partner will not be spared if the company faces financial

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.

Keywords: Components of total rewards, advantages and problems with total rewards Historical Snapshot In the earliest years that the fields of compensation and benefits were recognized as professions, practice was based largely on formulas that served the entire employee population in an organization. Salary structures were just that, rigid and highly controlled and benefits programs were designed as a one-size-fits-all answer to a homogenous work force. In the 1970s and 1980s, organizations recognized that strategically designed compensation and benefits programs could give them the edge in a rapidly changing environment. Organizations were responding to global economic development and the emergence of multinational firms, a much more competitive business environment, diversification of the work force to include workers who didn't fit the sole breadwinner, head-of-household model of the '50s and '60s, new government mandates related to employee benefits and rapidly rising benefits costs that prompted flexibility in programs to reduce costs (WorldatWork, 2006).

By applying this theory, business’ base their decisions on the platforms of many categories such as honesty, promise keeping, fairness, and loyalty (Trevino & Nelson, 2007).
