As I've learned from my Business/Marketing classes, In business you need to learn how to adapt with the time because nothing stays the same, so did M.L.B. commissioner Bud Selig. With this uncertain economic turbulence, the Commissioner order a hiring freeze for the first time ever.

Management issues

Most establishments in America have managerial issues that can easily be fix like number one, learning how to communicate effectively with employees which is a very critical issue that my teacher have stressed over in the time of my course. Another issue is failing to provide company goals with the employees which is a critical issue because you want everybody to be in the same page.

Consumer Confidence?

Cnbc has made a report about the confidence to buy a American car and that we should all think about it twice while buying cars from a future Bankrupt auto company. I believe that we should hold our dollars very closely like if we were in a depression because I don't think no Bankrupt auto establishment is going to cover warranty on your precious vehicle and God knows the quality of materials they manufacture you car with because of cut backs.

is this the end?

My business/Marketing teacher once told me that"If JP Morgan goes bankrupt America will be in the depression". JP Morgan have reported recently that its having the worst November and December of all time. Now is this a landslide? JP Morgan help built America in it's earlier days just like the big three help America and it's allies win in WWII. The government wants JP Morgan to help the economy to by making more loans and help the economy grow.

Russian Crisis

Russia, where the country that contains more millionaires and billionaires than any other country have gone through a state panic with this global financial crisis hitting everybody's home furthermore consumers are not believing banks, they believe anything tangible is safer than banks.

The Bush administration to the rescue

Huh? The Bush administration?

The worst president is history have plans to redeem himself before he vacant his position as president of the United states. I'm not sure if president elect Barack Obama is coaching him but president Bush is trying to help the auto industry from collapsing a staggering news that could have Motown jumping with cheers furthermore Bush's plan is to splurge some of the money from the 700 billion dollar bailout plan to the Big three(chrysler,General Motors and Ford).

investors confidence Bernard L. Madoff

Now with nobody wanting to invest because of Bernard L. Madoff the U.S. financial crisis will get worst as everybody is going targeting their banks and withdrawing all their financial assets furthermore Bernard L. Madoff have made an impact of the worlds economy as well with his 50 billion dollar scam.

DEAL TO RESCUE BIG 3

In a $15 billion bailout attempt of US automakers that would essentially give the government tremendous power to reconfigure their weak auto industry. I personally would like a better strategy than what the big three have proposed for the sake of America.

Tesla Motors the maker of a luxury electric sports car

are trying to get capital from the government just like

any other car industry in America. I believe they have

at least a good legit plan to move the company in the

right direction with government funding.

With the unemployment line increasing, the unemployment rate number in the U.S. is staggering and while fighting multiple wars the U.S. have limit the number of immigrants traveling to the states. Crimes is going up by the day and the Big three don't have a good plan all we know is that if they go bankrupt the US receives a critical financial blow to the Heart

UAW is the backbone of this country because they work hard and they run America with a lot of industrial jobs so if UAW goes then America's financial crisis will worsen and will soon translate into a really bad depression. I support UAW and wish they can continue what they are doing with the support of all state goverments.

The Big Three

One of the things I didn't understand was how you are in need of money and you say you have change and then the day of congress when you are suppose to have a hearing you fly in to Washington with a private Jet instead of going and showing that the big three can drive to and showing up in a car instead of a private jet

Nokia N97

The new N97 from Nokia is going to define a new prestige market in the cell phone industry, when the leader competitor in the business i phone might see themselves in second place for the first time in history since their debut because Nokia's new N97 is speculated to destroy its competition.

Flat screen TV

So because of Marketing techniques, LCD TV's have been going at a historical low price and consumers like you and me are loving it, a lot of it has to do with the competition that have been going around, another reason for that is the bad economy that we are facing has made it easier for the consumer to either bargain prices or already have the product most likely on sale because these Tv's needs to be sold.

Direct & Indirect experiences

Direct & Indirect Experiences

Wall mart's direct experience came when they first settled in China and opened the first store, they realize it was a different way to approach the Asian culture so right there and then Wall Mart encountered a Direct business experience.
Now with CNBC covering the story every other business is experiencing an Indirect business because they are hearing it from someone else experience in which in this case it was Wall marts direct experience

that we are learning from.

JOHN DELOREAN MAR 100

John Delorean was one of General Motors Corp most respected engineers "back when GM was GM". John's professional career in the auto industry was a huge roller coaster ride because after succeeding in General Motors, starting his own companyand having the famous Automobile from back to the future, Mr Delorean was accused of drug traffeking but was never found gulty for any of the drug chargess and thats when his credibility and company went to the ground

Big Three Ready

On Tuesday Ford,Chrysler and G.M. will reveal their business plans for congress .I personally will believe congress will make them work for it but eventually will give the money to the Detroit automakers. I believe Gm will show a partial plan to the law makers because they are trying to avoid any leaks to their opponents.

CITI FIELD? or Taxpayer's FIELD?

As to what I posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2008 about how the Tax payer should be entitled to a share of the market for bailing out these companies. Now Citi bank is being bailed out by us (Tax payers) because of poor business judgment and management. Citi Bank pays METS 20 million a year just to have the Mets name the stadium Citi Field. Aside from misusing the money and us paying for it, the Met's Prestige seats will almost be impossible to access without paying such a high price that only a certain class will be able to go to the Jackie Robison Rotundra looking field. Now is that fair or what?

NOT USING YOUR CREDIT/DEBIT CARD FOR 3 DAYS

As professor Evans indicated in class to not use your credit or debit car for about 3 days and see if it will make a huge difference in your spendings in which I experimented and found out that it really does makes a difference because during those 3 days from the Nov 22- Nov 25 I was tempted to swipe or take out money for a lot of useless items with my card but I manage to not spend the money and I would say I saved up $65 dollars during that time period.

BUS 200 OBAMA PLEDGES

I recently read an article on how Obama is going to manage the financial stimulas package in which he plans to crush all non working government programs that is not working. I think this is a good idea, I believe he is thinking like a CEO because you start from the ground up and thats how you regain your capital so I say this is good management on behalf of his parts, Henry Paulson might want to take some notes or even the bankers and the managements of GM.

Bail out Cost BUS 200

Potential Cost of US Financial Bailout: Over $8 Trillion!!!

While every price is inflating the United States. debts keep rising and the economy keeps struggling. While these Business that have bad managements keep getting goverment support which I dont understand why they get supports withought the managements being evaluated. I believe every tax payer should own a share of the business if we are bailing them out

Identify a conflict I have recently been involved with, and how was it solved?.

I have recently been involved with a conflict with one of my X co-workers (James) in the Catering company I use to work for. James and I have been working the same amount of years in the company james just have longer than me but I got promoted first and I received a raise before him so after that particular promotion me and James don't see eye to eye and his job performance decreased drastically because of his frustration towards my promotion. I believe there is a conflict because conflict is incompatible behaviors that make another person less effective, but we resolved our issues and differences with some conflict resolving methods of compromise and promise solving.

Identify what the conflict trigger was?
I believe the conflict trigger is unrealized expectations because James had an expectation to be promoted before me but since that never happen it turned into a competitive conflict

What type of conflict it was?
The type of conflict it was it was a Competitive conflict because a it dealt with having opposing goals, mistrust and disbelieves, avoid and win loose.

We almost lost Detroit

I'll start by saying this is one of the finest piece of soul music I've have ever heard. During WWII Detroit was a very important manufacturing line for the government for military weapons for (tanks, aircraft, and amphibious vehicles). The big three (Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler) was a big part of the war because of their huge manufacturing assembly line the U.S. produced more military weapons than any other country in the world.
During the post war Detroit's economy was booming and everybody was happy so more immigrants came to Detroit

MAR/BUS 200 "Bush Praises Obama's Campaign"

"Bush Praises Obama's Campaign"

Bush is praising Obama's campaign because he wants to be remember in a good way and like professor Evan's said everybody will forget the bad things that president Bush did in his time in the office. Bush's strategy to exit the white house in a good manner just like McCain did during his last speech which was wonderfully good.

Orrin Keepnews dealt with managing conflicts like time pressure, unrealize expectation, communcation breakdown while trying to push out a jazz album for a particulate deadline. While dealing with different musicians Orrin witness cooperative conflicts because all of the musicians had cooperative goals trust and rely, discuss and win-win and moving foward together.

"The Father of Physics"

NIKOLA, TESLA

Nikola Tesla was one of the greatest underrated inventors of the late 19th and early 20th
century furthermore Mr. Tesla invented many inventions that are critically essential in todays modern world like for example radio transmission or even having wireless electricity in which I don't understand why we can't do such an invention in today's modern world. Nikola was not much of a business man because he could been the first billionaire if he would of accepted Westinghouse contract plus Nikola died with no money.

Microsoft feared Mac vs. Vista comparison

Apple's biggest market share increase came when Microsoft Vista debuted because Apple new Vistas problem so they emphasize their focus on that particular problem in their Marketing Campaign against Microsoft. Microsoft's biggest clients are Business owners across the world, so for Walter Mossberg to grab the attention of Microsoft's biggest consumer and to be comparing it to Apple they new it was going to be big problem.

MAR100/Bus200 Packaging Museum

As you can see the packaging makes a big difference in business because as you can see the new Heinz bottle looks better and juicier than the previous bottle further more Heinz improved in product quality by packaging the bottle in plastic because ketchup is a thixotropic substance and because of that the ketchup is harder to remove from glass container, another reason was for safety reasons and cost effective. packing does make a difference in any business.

Man who sold his name

Famous designer Roy Halston Frowick was a unique minded individual who had an exclusive taste for his fashion ideas. Halston is very popular for the pill box hat he made for Jacqueline Kenndy on her husbands inaguration. Halstons Influence in the fashion industry was very popular.. so much that they even wanted to buy he name and he actually said yes. My believe was with all his drug habits and night life I don't belive he was in the right state of mind when made that decision. Because of not meeting deadlines and being late everyday he got fired from his own company, it's like professor Evans said "time is important in business".
