Survey Anayalsis

1. I received 15 responses on my business survey

2 My demographic question was the area of profession the surveyor was in. The results were mostly of students and unemployed .

3 -Most people agreed with Walmart having cheap prices

   -The majority of responses stated that they have gone to Walmart in the past 2 years

  -Also a large percentage of responses said they would not be interested in having a Walmart closer to where they live.

5 I would say my question on profession was helpful for analyzing my results because it gives me an idea of what the bias of the person might be.


6 I thought I got moderately reliable information because most of the answers made sense and had some sort of explanation or correlation

7 The purpose of my survey was to find out what people really thought about Walmart

8 I could have had more questions on what exactly people disliked about Walmart in my survey.

9 I really wasn't sure what I would receive for results but the fact that  I got mixed opinions makes sense.

Walmart?

Apprentice review

1.  I think all the tasks given to Protege and VersaCorp tested leadership skills because someone needed to be selected leader every task. When selected leader you needed to manage everyone doing the task and how they do it, which is not easy.

2. I do not see myself in five years being a good candidate because I would only be twenty and not have acquired  much experience yet.

3 If I created a task it would be having each team try to resign/sign a player on to a sports team with a limited amount of money, and whoever has the longest time contract wins. The prize would be  tickets to the game.

4 If I was Bill Rancic, which I am not, I would chose the high rise in Chicago because it seems like a very cool and new building and I would rather work in Chicago.

5 I think the tactic of Kwame selling his autograph to people was very clever. I do not know how ethical it was because he was partly misleading people but never lying to them. In the end it doesn't matter how ethical it was because they lost and they should have been doing something more productive.

6 Yes I would recommend future intro to business classes watching the apprentice, it is the best part of the class.

Giving Tuesday

#GivingTuesday . Just this last Tuesday was GivingTuesday! A day that has been expanded across America and now the world; promoting giving and helping others. A few companies to partner with the organization to help increase the success and benefit of the day were Dicks Sporting goods, HubSpot and Causecast. The day is revolutionizing corporate philanthropy by having full-profit companies support the cause with the non-profit organizations that are involved. These large profit companies bring in a base of customers that could never be assembled by the organization itself and a substantial amount of awareness about the day is created. With the companies help Giving Tuesday is able to be extremely successful and will hopefully have more partners in the years to come.

My view on The "Buying Season"

Black Friday, a day recognized by almost as much people as Thanksgiving and Christmas is, but still growing every year. The day is beginning to become a holiday on itself, with people flocking to stores, weighting in lines for unnecessary amounts of time and sales on products that are extremely overrated. Although this day allows for huge profit to be made and a economic boost every year, there is something wrong. The whole idea about the holiday season is to give back to others out of pure kindness. Its practically barbaric how people fight and sometimes get killed on this day just for some "saved" money, which people will just end up spending on more stuff. There are places in the world that lack sanitary water and consistent food sources but yet they do not have as much anarchy as this day does. Instead of trying to force in more profit on a single day, when you have an entire holiday season of it, maybe give back to the community more. I think all parties involved could be more proactive and try to put more effort towards a day like giving Tuesday.

Tesla-Human resources

One of the companies I have invested in and I suggest investing in, is Tesla. Their main site is http://www.teslamotors.com/ and is appealing and factual to explore through. One thing about their site that stuck out to me was there easy access job search within site. The HR can be seen as very established on the site and obviously tries to get new people working for the company by offering a variety of jobs . Although the external recruiting is very impressive they also focus on internal by having constant revaluations of workers and adjusting them to the right position to best benefit the company, while also having the needs of the employees met. Tesla is a company to look out for.

Five companies

 Five top companies to watch are Dave and Busters, Apple, Nike, Cal Maine, and JC Penny. The best investment to make out these five companies would be in Nike because they are a solid company and have a large consumer basis that is growing.
