Discuss and analyze the arguments for and against Milton Friedman’s thesis that the only purpose of business is to make money.

Purpose: In this project, you will discuss and analyze the arguments for and against Milton Friedman’s thesis that the only purpose of business is to make money. You will apply the arguments for and against to a specific ethical issue that you have previously discussed in a weekly discussion. Learning outcome met by completing this project Identify ethical issues that arise in domestic and global business environments using an understanding of ethical concepts and of legal and business principles. How to Set Up the Paper Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document that is double-spaced, 12-point font. The format should be in memo form. The final product will be between 5-7 pages in length excluding the title page and reference page. Write clearly and concisely. Instructions You serve as the assistant to the very recently appointed CEO of a prominent start-up that is beginning to grow rapidly. The new CEO, Tara Richmond, is a former general who gained visibility in the military for her outstanding leadership qualities. Since her arrival, the Board of Directors has had spirited debates on several proposals that would increase corporate profits but would work to the disadvantage of some members of the public as well as other stakeholders. Some members of the board are arguing that the only obligation the company has is to make profits for the stockholders. Other members of the board are arguing that the company has an obligation to the community and to stakeholders other than just the stockholders. Your boss is baffled by the debate. “When I was in the military, my duties to others were clearly laid out. Here, I am unsure to whom the company owes a duty.” She turns to you for advice, requesting that you draft a memo that explains what the company’s ethical obligations are in situations like these. She asks you to start with Milton Friedman’s opinion piece in 1970, arguing that a company’s only ethical responsibility is to make profits. That can be found here. She also asks you to review a much more recent memo from the Business Roundtable that takes a more expansive view of the responsibilities of a company. The Business Roundtable consists of CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, many of whom are familiar names to her. That memo can be found here. You should do additional research on arguments for and against Friedman’s proposition. Using your classroom materials as well as external sources, respond to the following prompts: 1. Explain Milton Friedman’s arguments supporting that a company’s only obligation is to make money. 2.Explain the arguments contrary to Friedman’s position including where the Business Roundtable stands as well as other arguments you find in your research. 3.Using one of the ethical issues that you posted in classroom discussions, illustrate for the CEO, how that issue would be resolved using Friedman’s perspective and how it would be resolved using the perspective of the Business Roundtable. 4.Which of these positions do you find most compelling and why? Your memo should begin with an introduction and end with a conclusion where you make recommendations to the CEO. Course Material and Research This project requires you to do research on UMGC Library Databases or on the Internet. You are expected to use course material going beyond defining terms. You are expected to explain the ‘why and how’ of a situation. Avoid merely making statements but close the loop of the discussion by explaining how something happens or why something happens, which focuses on importance and impact. In closing the loop, you will demonstrate the ability to think clearly and rationally showing an understanding of the logical connections between the course material and the question(s) being asked. Using one or two in-text citations from the course material throughout the entire paper will not earn many points on the assignment. The support must be relevant and applicable to the topic being discussed. Points are not earned for mentioning a term or concept but by clearly and thoroughly explaining or discussing the question at hand. Use this link: BMGT 496 New Project 2 Template (4).docx to complete this project. Third person writing is required. Third person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second person writing). If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this. Contractions are not used in business writing, so do not use them. Paraphrase and do not use direct quotation marks. Paraphrase means you do not use more than four consecutive words from a source document. Instead put a passage from a source document into your own words and attribute the passage to the source document by using an in-text citation. Changing words from a passage does not exclude the passage from being a direct quote. If more than four consecutive words are used from source documents, this material will not be included in the grade and could lead to allegations of academic dishonesty. Use in-text citations and provide a reference list that contains the reference associated with each in-text citation. Note that a reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa. You are expected to use the weekly course materials to develop the analysis and support the reasoning. See the module, Learn How to Support What You Write. There should be a robust use of the course materials along with a thorough analysis. The citations must contain the title of the eBook, the chapter title and year. The case scenario facts are not cited but do not use more than four consecutive words when completing the project. If more than four consecutive words are used from source documents, this material will not be included in the grade and could lead to allegations of academic dishonesty.

Virtual Lab Week 7: Introduction to Food Macromolecules

Learning Objectives

· Understand the types of macromolecules found in food
· Understand the structure of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids
· Detect macromolecules in food samples

Introduction

Macromolecules are very large molecules created by the polymerization of small units called monomers. Most of the macromolecules are present in everyday life, for instance in food.

Learn about biological macromolecules

There are several types of biological macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. All macromolecules, except lipids, are polymers. A polymer is a long molecule composed of chains of monomers. Monomers are small molecules that serve as building blocks of polymers. In addition, there are also oligomers in nature. Oligomers are molecular complexes composed of a few monomer units, instead of the theoretical unlimited number of monomers. Dimers and trimers are oligomers composed of two and three monomers, respectively, such as lactose in milk for instance. However, in biochemistry, an oligomer usually refers to a macromolecular complex formed by non-covalent bonding of a few macromolecules, such as nucleic acids or proteins. An example is the oligomers found in many neurodegenerative diseases, such as the alpha-synuclein aggregations in Parkinson’s disease.

Help your friend with your macromolecule knowledge

In the Introduction to Food Macromolecules simulation, you will help your friend get a healthy diet and investigate the types of macromolecules found in food. By performing a series of biochemistry tests, you will know the contents of various food items.
Can you use your macromolecule knowledge to convince your friend to change her diet to a healthier one?

Study the transcription and translation processes

Begin by learning about the transcription process of DNA to RNA. Discover the translation process where an RNA sequence is read by a ribosome inside a cell and the corresponding to amino acids are made. With these two processes any protein can be made. How do the amino acids form different proteins?

Synthesis of proteins from amino acids

Find out how amino acids are assembled to make proteins. A 3D animation describes how triplets of codons in the RNA sequence are translated into amino acids. Observe how these amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds to create a polypeptide chain: this is the primary structure of a protein. Then watch as the primary structure is folded into secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures. Discover the two main types of secondary structure and see an example of how the tertiary structure of a protein can be modified post-translation.

What is your initial opinion of Wikipedia’s credibility? What is your experience with Wikipedia? What have people told you? What is your surface opinion?

Americans believe childhood is a distinct time of life, and that schools have a responsibility to protect children from physical and emotional danger, exposure to disturbing information, as well as from the “undesirable” elements of society.
Americans make age requirements for exposure to adult situations and risks: movies are rated to exclude children under a certain age, there are minimum age requirements to purchase cigarettes, alcohol, and pornography. Similarly, the responsibilities of driving, signing contracts, getting married, or serving in the military are all limited by age.
In schools, the expectation that children should be protected from some information is most evident in the use of textbooks and the control of the school library. But wait. A SmartPhone can access any digital information in the world, translate it to your language, and read it to you. Infants play with their parents’ SmartPhones; a two or three year old can use an iPad, and a four year old can use many SmartPhone apps before he or she can read.
Will schoolbooks, textbooks and school libraries be replaced by Wikipedia?
Textbooks were not prevalent in American schools until the mid-1800s, when William McGuffey wrote the first series of readers. Prior to the rise of the textbook, children studied
primary

sources — newspapers, authentic literature, correspondence with relatives, compendia of information in history or science, and other treatises written for adults. And the Bible, of course. With the definition of childhood as a special stage in human development that should be protected, and with the rise of the public schools, textbooks became more prevalent.
Textbooks offer standardization of content, as well as standardization of instruction. However, the content of textbooks is always an area of controversy, almost as much as the Internet is an area of controversy. At times the controversy concerns content that is “appropriate” for children, such as including human reproduction in biology textbooks, or including The Scarlet Letter in literature anthologies.
At other times, textbooks are defended because competitive media, such as some software and the Internet, are not edited especially for children. When everyone has access to everything, how can it matter what’s in a textbook? This is a conflict of values that the growing influence of the Internet, smart phones, and hand-held devices causes us to examine.

Write

a brief essay describing Wikipedia’s reputation and credibility. Imagine Wikipedia in comparison to other encyclopedias, not to peer-reviewed scientific literature. Address three perspectives:

· Your personal experience. What is your initial opinion of Wikipedia’s credibility? What is your experience with Wikipedia? What have people told you? What is your surface opinion?
· Wikipedia’s stated purpose. What is the purpose of Wikipedia? What is Wikipedia’s expectation for accuracy? What is Wikipedia’s statement concerning validity? How does Wikipedia judge itself? How does it select the writers?
· Research. Now dive in and consider the expert evaluations and opinions on Wikipedia’s validity. Dive into the research. Cite at least two experts or research studies. What is community-based credibility? Has the credibility of Wikipedia changed over time?

There are scientific concerns about the effects of GMOs on the environment and on humans when they ingest the food.  If you were on the board of a company that is faced with using GMO or non-GMO suppliers, discuss what position Milton Friedman might take on this issue.

BUS 230 CLASS

Assignment: Unit 03: Legal Reasoning

Q1. Many companies have taken the position that their products have no GMOs. In the United States, foods that contain ingredients derived from corn, soy, canola, and sugar beets have usually been genetically modified. Sixty-four countries around the world have required that GMO foods be labeled. A 2015 survey from ABC News founds that 93% of Americans believe that GMO foods should be labeled.
On the other hand, many scientists and political leaders have argued that the use of GMOs has permitted the United States to grow more food, food that supplies those who are starving throughout the world. Former Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana maintains that the intentional starvation of people is callous and cruel, but he also believes that denying the world the benefits of increased food production from GMOs carries no moral distinction in resulting starvation. 
There are scientific concerns about the effects of GMOs on the environment and on humans when they ingest the food. 
If you were on the board of a company that is faced with using GMO or non-GMO suppliers, discuss what position Milton Friedman might take on this issue.
Q2. Using the facts in question 1, discuss how Edward Freeman would address the issue the company faces.
Q3. Andy Puzder, once a candidate for secretary of labor in the Trump administration, has written, “When a store closes, the minimum wage for your lost job is zero.” Mr. Puzder believes that increases in minimum wage destroy jobs and hurt working class Americans. What readings and cases in Unit 3 provide support for Mr. Puzder’s view? Which readings and cases would take a different view?
Q4. Who are the stakeholders in those situations in which pharmaceutical companies substantially increase the prices of their drugs?
Q5. What would Milton Friedman say about the pharmaceutical price increases?

Assignment: Unit 05: Legal Reasoning

Q1. What types of ethical issues did you see in the cases on contract formation?
Q2. Describe the stakeholders involved in the case of excessive use of returning goods.
Q3. Explain the conflicts of interest issues in pension funding.
Q4. Regarding the Stanford University research funding case (Case 5.9), discuss whether Stanford was in a gray area in terms of its overhead reimbursement requests. Be sure to list any other rationalizations Stanford used with regard to its conduct.
Q5. Make a list of the legal issues that created confusion in the dispute between Katy Perry and the nuns from the Los Angeles convent. Discuss the impact on the various stakeholders of these points of legal confusion.

Assignment: Unit 06: Legal Reasoning

Q1. Gingham Best, Inc. is a US company with clothing production facilities around the world. Gingham is concerned about conditions in the factories with which it has production contracts. What advice can you offer Gingham for preventing a public relations crisis or a boycott over factory conditions?
Q2. You have just been put in charge of supervising all of your company’s offices around the world. What will you do to be certain that there are no FCPA violations?
Q3. You have been given the task of analyzing whether your company should expand its operations into a particular country. There are concerns about risk in that country. Based on the cases that you have studied, what would you examine in that country to provide input on risk?

Assignment: Unit 07: Legal Reasoning

Q1. Regarding the Kodak Appraiser case (7.10), explain the scheme that the participants used to reduce Kodak’s taxes, and what ethical issues arose.
Q2. Based on the case readings, what components of an employer romance policy could reduce the tensions and other problems that might arise?
Q3. If you were developing a policy to give employees about blogging, what would you include based on the readings and cases?
Q4. Regarding the case involving the Welch/Wetlaufer affair, discuss how that private relationship affected the workplace for both parties (Ms. Wetlaufer and Mr. Welch).
Q5. Using Reading 7.22 on performance evaluations and Case 7.23 on the denial of a partnership to Ann Hopkins, make a list of the things the partners should have done differently in performing partner evaluations.
COMP 110

This is Malcolm :
It’s like having an elite head coach and the same team having an elite hitting coach in baseball! Both are very knowledgeable and the head coach is you. go to for the overall questions and advice in most situations and you go to the hitting coach to learn about how to swing the bat and hit the ball. That’s just like what a primary care physician is to a specialty care physician. As stated by Shi & Singh (2022) ” Primary care can be distinguished from specialty care by the time, focus, and scope of services provided to patients” (p. 128). This means PCPs are well-rounded in many faucets of health care while the SCPs are also well-rounded but they tend to stay in one lane when it comes to health care. Like a podiatrist that works on feet specifically, you may be able to go to a podiatrist and ask them about a rash but you would rather not. As stated by Brooke Johnson (2021)
“These physicians manage your overall health care and use their knowledge of your medical history to stay ahead of potential issues. In addition to diagnosing most health symptoms and prescribing medications, PCPs offer many forms of preventive care such as physicals, certain cancer screenings, STI screenings, vaccinations, and more”.
The purpose of going to your PCP would be for general intake and other screenings. Again another reason to go to your specialist would be for a gastroenterologist like for your stomach after meeting with your primary care doctor.

Primary care and specialty care are two fundamental components of healthcare systems, each serving distinct roles in patient care. It’s important for individuals to understand the distinctions between primary care physicians and specialty physicians to make informed healthcare decisions. Understanding the roles and differences between primary care physicians and specialty physicians is crucial for individuals to navigate the healthcare system effectively. Both types of physicians play essential roles in providing comprehensive and specialized care to optimize patients’ health and well-being.

The statement by Shi & Singh underscores the importance of training and education in shaping the roles and responsibilities of primary care and specialty care providers. The way providers are trained reflects their scope of practice, knowledge base, and the specific areas of healthcare they are prepared to address. This distinction in training is fundamental to how healthcare systems are structured and how patients receive care tailored to their unique medical needs.(Shi & Singh 2023).
Primary care providers, such as family physicians, internists, and pediatricians, receive training that emphasizes a broad knowledge base. They are trained to diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of general medical conditions. Their education is designed to equip them with the skills necessary to provide comprehensive and continuous care. Specialty care physicians, on the other hand, undergo additional training in specific medical fields or subspecialties. This advanced training allows them to develop expertise in a particular area of medicine, such as cardiology, orthopedics, or neurology. They acquire specialized knowledge and skills related to their chosen field.

Describe the strategies businesses use to gain or maintain a competitive advantage.

Response Christian:
 
Is there any research suggesting how well the corporate strategies of vertical integration, diversification, mergers and acquisitions, and alliances work?
When a company wants to add something to itself, there are options that allow for expanding without inventing something entirely new as a strategy or creating excessive risk. Kaplan (1954) once argued that: “There is no reason to believe that those now at the top will stay there except as they keep abreast in the race of innovation and competition”. If a company understands their position in the market and the competition, they can effectively use certain business strategies that include vertical integration, diversification, mergers and acquisitions, and alliances as a way to keep ahead. Each strategy has their positives and negatives, so understanding what each one does for the company is the critical first step in deciding which route to follow. 
When a company sees a market opportunity they don’t currently compete in, but feel they can service an identified gap, the diversification strategy comes into play. Diversification at its core is penetrating a new market where you currently don’t participate. Tien and Ngoc (2019) define diversification as a purposeful plan of action to aims to move into new directions. The work builds upon Hitt et al. (2000) in which diversification can be broken down into two subcategories: related diversification and unrelated diversification. Related, or concentric diversification, is when a company moves into a new market but maintains the same main production of similar products.  Whereas unrelated diversification is where a company expands into totally new activities from what they currently produce or service. The intent of diversification overall is to spread risk across multiple lines of business to ensure that if one falters or matures, there is another that they can rely on.   
            Not every aspect of manufacturing, distribution, and sales usually resides within one company. There may be multiple companies that are part of the entire supply chain before a consumer of goods sees them. Vertical integration is a strategy where the company looks for ways to integrate or own multiple processes into their own exclusive chain. Zhang (2013) found in his research that that albeit a older concept, many large companies are focusing on this strategy in the last decade or two to gain an advantage. To illustrate an example of a company that has decided to use vertical integration, Tesla is a vehicle manufacturer .Over time, they realized that several parts of their supply chain were contingent on many other manufacturers or suppliers. As a result, they now make their own batteries, artificial intelligence to drive their car, robotics at their plants, and even control the salesrooms exclusively. Although this strategy can be profitable, the self-reliance can create risks since one company is responsible for so many functions and it can overextend the company since they have to constantly have innovation in all the areas they control.        
Competition is not always good for the market, especially if your company is losing out. Daniel Vasella (CEO Navartis, 2002) once stated:
“It is clear that you cannot stay in the top league if you only grow internally. You cannot catch up just by internal growth. If you want to stay in the top league, you must combine.”
One way to improve a company’s position is to look at a growth strategy that is mergers and acquisitions (M&A). The M&A is a strategy is a methodical process of evaluating companies that if purchased or merged with would create a much stronger position for one or both companies involved. Gupta (2012) describes an M&A as a restructuring of two companies as a strategic means to achieve a competitive advantage. A M&A is a methodical and planned approach that requires extensive research with the prospective company which comes with risk.  To be successful, a full understanding of each other’s market position, financial, and human capital must be assessed to determine the value to each company. This route can be expensive, and results are not guaranteed by simply buying another company. 
An alliance is literally as it sounds, creating a partnership to create a market advantage. The advantage can be something such as a company holds a license in a specific country or entry point for globalization. Elmuti and  Kathawala (2001) argue that alliances are risky though, oftentimes management on both sides do not understand the others method of operating or technologies that make a true seamless partnership. Russo and Cesarani, M. (2017) state that the risks overall can be mitigated using good governance, the coordination of leadership with realistic understandings of objectives, and making compromises with the partner companies.
To determine which growth strategy is the best, that all depends on the company and their market. Each strategy has risks associated with them, also they have costs.  The course of action will be contingent on the risk tolerance on many levels of a company, taking a high-risk strategy could prove very equitable for all involved. Stakeholders must decide if they can handle the potential for failure at any juncture of each one of the strategies before a company can decide to pursue that goal.

Is there any research suggesting how well the corporate strategies of vertical integration, diversification, mergers and acquisitions, and alliances work?
            There are many strategies businesses use to gain or maintain a competitive advantage. Some of the strategies include, but are not limited to, vertical integration, (product) diversification, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and alliances. Each of these options provides a different benefit to the companies under the optimal conditions. Therefore, a company should carefully examine each one and determine if and how it supports their strategic plan.
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are an age-old technique in the business world for accessing complimentary businesses or removing a potential competitor.  Chae et al. (2022) contend that the success of an M&A is firmly linked to the synergies between their supply chains. This argument could be applied to manufacturing or services companies if you view clients as a supply chain. The research is not unanimous in this subject. Benitez et al. (2018) discovered that post M&A benefits were found with firms that had similar supply chains pre-M&A. This would indicate synergy lies in similarity, not diversity. Rogan and Sorenson (2014) discovered that firms who shared customers prior to the acquisition did not experience as strong post M&A performance. This is an important factor that should be considered in the lead up to a decision for an M&A.
Vertical integration is the practice of an organization taking direct ownership of various stages of its production process rather than relying on external contractors or suppliers (Hayes et al., 2003). This practice is undertaken for several reasons. One may be quality control or just control of the larger supply chain which impacts their operations and timing. Orsdemir et al. (2019) examined corporations executing a vertical integration strategy to secure their corporate social and environmental responsibility (CSER). For large corporations who have the capital to expend and are reliant on CSER scores, this is a viable option. Small and medium enterprises (SME’s) may not be able to vertically integrate owing to the extensive capital expenditures required.
In conclusion, it is evident that any of the aforementioned integration strategies can have a positive impact on organizational performance. While some strategies are better suited to certain businesses, all aspects must be considered prior to executing a strategy. In the case of M&A, the supply chains and customer bases must be examined to determine if there is synergy or if it would result in destructive interference. For vertical integration, there are numerous benefits and pitfalls. Not every company is positioned to vertically integrate  due to the costs, but those that can afford it may reap the benefits of quality control and supply chain management for their entire operation.

Course Project Draft 1: The opening of African fast food stores
Draft 1 of your Marketing Plan is due this week (up to 5 pages long). Your submission should contain: a Title Page with the great topic (e.g., Marketing Strategies of ‘Your Company’ in…..), Table of Contents (from the Drafts’ outline), a reserved 1 page space for the Executive Summary (written during Week 8), your Marketing Environment, and Buyer Behavior analysis.
Introduction
Strategic Marketing Brief
The Course Project is a strategic marketing brief and summary presentation for a new product. Similar to a complete marketing plan, the brief includes topics such as the marketing mix and promotional mix. In contrast to a marketing plan, the strategic brief communicates these and other topics to a different audience. It addresses senior executives and investors rather than managers and frontline workers. As such, your brief will focus on why your marketing organization is doing what it is doing, rather than the details of what it is doing and how.
Although you will discuss tactical activities such as advertising and breakeven point, strive to communicate a high-level strategic perspective with your writing. To help gain that perspective in the context of marketing, be sure to watch the Week 2: PlayPosit, which discusses strategic leadership using marketing examples that have turned into goods, services, and ideas that are still in market today. As you watch the PlayPosit, focus on the question posed: Why does a product exist?
Begin by selecting a product and company to use as an example throughout the brief. By using one product and company, the research, organization, and presentation of your recommendations will be easier. Your product and company can be imaginary, or a business you would be interested in starting, or an existing product and company that are in market today. The product can be B2C or B2B, and the company can be any organizational structure. The product and company are not important, because they will merely serve as examples. That is to say, you’ll include the what and the how, but you’ll focus your writing about the why.

The post-Civil War years marked the birth of children’s author Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867-1957), who chronicled the experiences of her family’s journey across the Midwest and Great Plains of the United States as a pioneering family. Wilder wrote nine books in her much heralded Little House series, as well as a final memoir about the latter years of her life with her husband Almanzo Wilder and daughter Rose Wilder Lane. The popular television series “Little House on the Prairie” was based on the book series, and numerous museums and historic sites have been established throughout the country marking the areas where her family lived and documenting such things as the recipes her family used to cook some of the meals that the books describe. These efforts to preserve the history of her family have created an interesting archive of both fictional and historically reliable artifacts that offer us — as students of women’s history — a unique opportunity to study.
The Laura Ingalls Wilder archive also offers us a model of what public history might look like within the field of U.S. study part of that archive and write analysis of your findings. Here’s what I’d like you to do:

Prior to beginning work on this final presentation,
For this class, The Beefsteak Reinforcing Culture Through Human Capital Development Case Study Analysis final presentation assignment will apply toward Folio.
Scenario
Beefsteak is a fast-casual restaurant concept from acclaimed Chef José Andrés that focuses on the “unsung power of vegetables” (Beefsteak Company Background Packet, n.d., page 7). hat key characteristics should Beefsteak recruiters look for in candidates, especially with regard to how someone will fit into the company culture?José Andrés is a world-renowned chef and owner of a number of restaurants. He was nominated for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize for his work with disaster relief through his nonprofit organization World Central Kitchen. Andrés’s mission is to change the world through the power of food. Jim Biafore, Senior Director for Beefsteak, knows that culture—much like any good business—is forever changing, adapting to its environment. As Beefsteak grows, he sees the need to develop employees not only for return on investment, but also for maintenance of the culture and values espoused from the larger organization, ThinkFoodGroup. Beefsteak needs to develop programs to develop its employees in line with the company’s mission and strategic direction.
Assume the role of a Beefsteak consultant dedicated to creating and reinforcing the company’s ideal culture. Jim Biafore wants you to assess Beefsteak’s current company culture, determine ways that it can be improved, forecast potential changes through growth, and provide a plan for sustaining cultural longevity through employees.
Using the materials provided to you, as well as at least two to three additional resources pertaining to human resource management, prepare a PowerPoint presentation with audio on the proposal for a strategic human capital development program focused on the transmission of company core values. You may use the University of Arizona Global Campus resource, Presentation TipsLinks to an external site., for assistance on adding audio to your presentation.
To communicate with Beefsteak’s Jim Biafore and executive team, you will present your analysis using PowerPoint with audio. The analysis should be six to eight slides. The strategic human capital analysis should reinforce the culture through

recruitment
training
retention
team development
organizational responsibility

The analysis should also consider Week 4’s contemporary human capital topic and predictive analysis.
Consider the following questions as you prepare your analysis:

What might you infer about Beefsteak’s current company culture? Does it have elements of organizational responsibility?
What key characteristics should Beefsteak recruiters look for in candidates, especially with regard to how someone will fit into the company culture?
How does job training and employee development differ from a cultural standpoint?
What motivates individuals or employees to believe in a cause?
What do employees want out of development programs?
What about employee development programs benefits the company?
Why is it important to think about employee development at this stage?
What contemporary human capital issues might you consider at Beefsteak?
Is it possible to use some predictive analysis technique?
How might things differ if Beefsteak expands globally rather than just in the U.S.?
How do you plan to measure the success/failure of your culture strategy? What steps will you take to ensure that the culture is shifting and/or being reinforced in that way that you intend?

In this presentation analysis,

Determine ways to improve the company’s culture in a growth environment.
Assess and make recommendations regarding the company’s recruiting, training, development, and retention strategies.
Integrate contemporary human capital topics and predictive analysis.
Discuss potential global expansion on the company culture and success.
Formulate an overall organized and concise proposal for the company’s ideal culture supported through human resource management.
