Monopoly is where only one company is providing a good and or service. Businesses may maximize profit in each market type by agreeing upon a lay down price. Perhaps businesses cannot agree upon a set price then the price is going to be above marginal cost. If the company is in competition with other companies in the same market, making decisions about prices, how they advertise, output, etc, can influence the profits of every, if not all companies in the same market.

Consequently, shareholders have no flexibility to alter their legal treatment with respect to one another, with respect to the corporation, and with respect to outsiders” (15-3). However, states provide default provisions for LLC’s and allow members the flexibility to alter arrangements based on their management style and desired outcomes. Corporations also require onerous fees and organizational requirements that must be met. LLC’s have fewer formalities, do not require board meetings and do not impose strict organizational reporting requirements. Tax considerations are also an important part of forming a business and play a significant part when choosing an entity.

Be creative and find ways to value yourself and your time, organize your effectiveness, mobilize your talents and skills as well as those of others. Monitor the performance of the employees, be open to learn, develop, and change the way technology changes for the future. The four functions of management planning, organizing, leading and controlling, assume a great worth in the success of any business every day. (Bateman, Snell, 2007). In all organizations, each employee’s individual contribution to the company is of great importance as the goals of the company would not be met and success would not be obtained.
ok These expectations seem easy enough, but when a company as large as Mattel with its Partners, Stakeholders, suppliers and sub-contractors, the potential issues not congruent with these expectations can grow exponentially if not scrutinized and audited on a consistent basis. When dealing with children’s products, there is no room for passive supervision of on-site inspections, records review, thorough quality and safety inspections when enforcing Mattel’s expectations. For example, even though Mattel owns many of its manufacturing plants domestically and abroad, often supplier samples of raw materials pass the grade but actual shipments of the product fall short, even dangerous (i.e. lead paint). It is the responsibility of Mattel as the manufacturer to be vigilant in every step of the process.
