Today's Hourly Employees
[ send me this essay ]
A 20 page research paper attempting to discover a relationship between numbers of supervisors and hourly employees. The paper discovers that more important than number ratios is the overall culture of specific companies. Workers complained for years of the layer upon layer of supervisors who seemed to have no function outside of chart production, but the downsizing of the late 80s and early 90s eliminated most of them. In the wake of downsizing waves, direct supervisors were responsible for so many hourly employees that they had no hope of real personal contact. Now, however, most businesses have discovered the middle, and optimal, range of number ratios, but overall corporate culture still plays a bigger role in productivity. Bibliography lists nearly two dozen sources.

Today's Need for Ethics Education
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page paper arguing in favor of providing ethics training in business. Modern business and nineteenth-century philosophy would seem on the surface to have little in common, but the increasing complexities of business in the face of technological advance and globalization provide clear indication that they need to be considered together and as a whole. Increasing competition in business has resulted in the situation that there is little margin for error in corporate decision making; decisions at all levels need to be made quickly and they need to be ethically based. Training those currently in business by means of ethics seminars is an effective way to introduce the old philosophers to today's managers. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Today's Retail Franchising
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page paper examining an overview of retail franchising. From it's A & W Root Beer beginnings in 1919, franchising has blossomed over the years and particularly since the late 1960s. Those purchasing franchises used to worry about the loss of total control over their own businesses and that still is an issue with many who otherwise would choose to place their fortunes into the hands of a national organization. But despite sizeable initial and ongoing franchising fees, there can be great advantage in purchasing a franchise in that the entrepreneur does not necessarily have to personally make all the mistakes from which he can learn. Franchising is in a boom state because it offers so many opportunities: the franchising company is allowed to grow using other people's money, and the provider of that money receives support and advice from the company.

Today's Russia
[ send me this essay ]
A 15 page paper discussing business and cultural conditions in Russia nearly a decade after the fall of communism, including assessment of the culture in terms of Hofsteder values. Before the collapse of communism in the former USSR in 1991, Russia's economy bore little resemblance to any working and sustainable model. The people warmly embraced the notion of Western capitalism but had no experience in practicing it after 70 years of communist rule. Government corruption and rampant crime proved to be too much strain for the fragile economy that nearly collapsed under the weight of the Asian currency crisis in 1997. Business conditions have not improved, but there is at least promise for improvement as the Russian people continue to realize that voting truly can make a difference now.
