The second form of business is a partnership. A partnership is a type of business structure that is formed by two or more people and share income.  The co-owner of the business works on behalf of each.  A partnership is categorized into two types: limited liability partnership (LLP) and limited partnership (LP).  Limited liability partnership comprises of one general partner who has unlimited liability while the partners have limited partners.  The general partner has limited control over the business.  The limited partners’ pay personal returns and the general partners pay self-employment tax. The advantages of a partnership are as follows.  First, it’s cheap and easy to establish than a Limited Liability Company (LLC). Secondly, a partnership does not disclose its profits to the public (Needle, & Burns,2010).  Also, it is easy for the partnership to change legal structures, unlike LLC.  For instance, the partnership can upgrade to a company.

For a business to be successful, its members should apply ethics in communication. Seven principles should be adhered to communicate ethically; the principles involved completeness of the message, relevance, conciseness, clearness, consistency, the objective of communication, and understanding audience knowledge. If your message misses the principles, then you are unethical.

Social media and digital technologies are among the essential communication channels in a business. The tracks have increased both internal and external communication. We should ensure we utilize these channels of communication to reach our customers. We should use social media platforms to get our customers as well as advertising our products to them.

Due to the company’s growth, there will be a need for employee training that will require additional time and money as the mode of conducting the activities is new to the industry, resulting from guessing work since there is no previous training to refer from. Another problem is that the company operates only one type of aircraft, attracting only a specific type of client, thus no services diversification leading to slow the company’s growth. The company’s competitors might fill this market gap by offering different types of flight services, hindering the growth of the company and decreasing WestJet airline’s potential market scope in the future. The company does not offer meals and beverages during the flight. One way to increase customer’s loyalty is by making him or her feel loved and appreciated. Hospitality goes a long way in giving the client this feeling providing satisfaction.

  3. For an open house, briefly describe what was discussed in a paragraph or two and explain if you would follow their business style. Why or why not? What would you change?

Answer preview

During a conversation with a realtor about an open house visit, I learned much about the role of the host and the realtor in attracting, identifying, and convincing the customer to purchase. First, she informed me that she takes high-quality pictures to post online on Facebook Zillow and Trulia sites. Once a date is picked, she arrives at the site beforehand to ensure that the premises are clean and in good condition. Whenever buyers’ approach, she shows them the house, highlighting all the possibilities and benefits of living in the premises and neighborhood. Then she allows them to think through the purchase after informing them of the price and patent options. I found her strategies effective, showing a great deal of respect to the buyers, and would apply them in my career whenever I host an open house event. In conclusion, real estate in the country is rapidly changing, necessitating new real estate regents, sellers, and buyers.

Sporadic-innovation trap

/in , /by

Rita McGrath, Columbia Business School professor and author of the article, “Transient Advantage,” discusses several traps that can blind a company to the need for imminent changes to their strategy to preserve competitive advantage. These traps, discussed in the second half of the article, include: the first-mover trap, the superiority trap, the quality trap, the hostage-resources trap, the white space trap, the empire-building trap, and the sporadic-innovation trap.

Locate and post a link to an article in The Wall Street Journal, or another reputable source, about a company that fell victim to one or more of these traps.

  • Identify the trap(s) and discuss why you believe the company’s management missed the warning signs.
  • What were the impacts that resulted from falling for the trap(s)?
  • Drawing on the guidance offered by Sherman in Chapter 6, what could they have done differently to avoid the trap(s)
Answer preview
After Blockbuster fell for the trap and closed many of its stores, many people lost jobs which affected them financially and socially. Blockbuster could have hosted premieres of films to stay in the market and created original films, and host singers and actors in the store to promote a new film release. All businesses need to follow upcoming trends to survive in the market, and in such instances, they should have started streaming movies and shows online like their competitors (Gunther, 2013). To stay in the market, they needed to create a museum in the United States where videocassettes could be displayed, and people would walk around checking them. In every business, marketing is essential. Blockbusters were more involved in late fees than on customer satisfaction like Netflix did when they came up. They also had a membership

Business-to-business e-commerce

Assume you are a vice president in charge of a new business-to-business e-commerce division of a well- known major international auto parts manufacturer. A cyber squatter has registered the company name as a domain name. What are your options to secure the domain name for your company? Discuss the steps you should take to ensure worldwide protection of your domain name.

Remember to include in text citations for all sources, as well as a work cited.

Answer preview

Another step is registering the domain name as a trademark to prevent malicious individuals from developing similar domain names. The sixth step is implementing an extensible provisioning protocol (EPP) which requires a specific code to be provided to a new domain name before executing a transfer. Also, registering similar domains, such as .com, .biz, .org. and .net would be another step to consider. Generally, these steps would enhance the company’s domain name security and prevent it from cybersquatting threats.
