Additionally, the author describes that hiring only those with good looks can run into antidiscrimination problems. Greenhouse concludes by suggesting that hiring for image leads to the increased prices of product, increased sales of products, and can give the impression of authenticity which eventually leads to what businesses want, profit. Whether retailers should hire only who project certain image it might be morally wrong or not is a provocative question. After considering the evidence presented in Greenhouse’s article and my own experiences, I can fully support retailers company hire only attractive applicants. I am opposed to companies hiring applicants based on their physical appearances in part because hiring good looking people is an advantage to the company, it shows how people are treated differently based on their appearance.To illustrate, Mr. Serrano, a former Abercrombie and Fitch employee emphasizes that, “We were supposed to approach someone in the mall who we think will look attractive in our store.” (p2).
Both the Han Chinese and the Romans made use of technology, and the ways the empires were affected and the way applied the technologies were of a vast spectrum. These societies valued innovation, and especially the Han would honour those culturally significant by attributing the creation of technologies commonly used under the Han to these culturally relevant figures. The effect of central-government and other forms of management on these technologies and their uses had both positive and negative effects. For the Han, a state-induced monopoly had a vastly harmful effect, and if the government had not interfered then the progress of the tools would not have been interrupted. The governing authorities again like to use culturally significant figures in the tales of innovation and invention and discovery.
After two straight years of financial losses in 1994, CEO Ron Allen rolled out a new strategy called “Leadership 7.5.” Allen targeted to reduce Delta’s cost per each available seat mile from more than 10 cents to 7.5 cents, which would match that of major competitor Southwest Airlines (Bryant, 1997). Along with a new company strategy a change followed with Delta’s human resource strategy. This changing policy devastated employee morale and resulted in a decline of customer service, efforts to unionize, and dissatisfaction among personnel. Delta couldn’t keep the past primary policy about human resources so there were several significant changes in Delta’s organization and corporate culture. There are many programs that Delta has built after passing through the cost-cutting reformation in 1997 for getting back its capabilities on customer relationships like rewards and recognition program above and beyond and more.
Apex should consider beta entry as an application innovation and a line extension to its current stigone market. Line extensions can provide low risk, given established reputation and customer base, and high revenues. Leveraging these two aspects, along with current category momentum, can generate high returns, Moore (pg 108-109). Apex can capitalize on their established brand and current stigone products and now redirect their efforts in the same market instead of starting over, Moore (pg 80). By continuing in the
Through his investments and cooperation, Carnegie was wealthy enough to co-found his first steel company, just outside of Pittsburgh, in his early thirties. He remodeled the steel industry as he used vertical integration and maximized his profits. Before retirement, Carnegie basically owned an empire.

This is great for people in the U.S., for now they are not furloughed anymore. But still would have been nice if they would of agreed on doing this a little bit earlier. President Obama needs to stop being a stubborn little piece of crap and take charge, for once in his life. Many of the 800,00 federal employees who got furloughed, most of them have their jobs back now. Also many businesses, like hotels and museums will be able to make their annual income now, before the holidays; because that is pretty much what they make their living off of.
They want to be able to trust the dealer in knowing that I got a good deal. At the same, the co-signer would want to be able to trust me in know that I will make the payments as planned. Co-signer is putting themselves out there fully trusting me. So, if I do not make the payments, it falls back on co-signer which could pose a lot of stress on both that person and me. For the car dealer, as far as economic outcome, I feel what matters most is that they made a good profit from their customer, in other words, they got the money (Curhan, Elfenbein, & Xu, 2006).
