I think issues might range from time off to disagreements s on economic solutions and concerns.

I don’t think so as of right now, in the future it might be the only option if hard times come along.

    On January 14, 2012, Amy Bourgon, sole proprietor of Bake Me A Cake (BMAC), set out to make some decisions regarding the company’s future strategy. BMAC had grown and Bourgon was considering a move because she was unsure of how much more growth the current space could accommodate and wondered whether it was time to take the business to the next level. Bourgon needed to decide whether to renovate her family’s home or to lease a commercial location for the business. Also, because Bourgon wanted to improve BMAC’s profitability, she was considering increasing cupcake prices; and she also wondered how BMAC should best advertise for fiscal 2012. Bourgon decided she would first analyze the company’s three-year financial performance and then project financial performance for fiscal 2012, depending on her decisions. She hoped to implement all changes before April 2012, when the next busy wedding season would begin.…

    1) In this case, Candace and Charles Nelson displayed many characteristics associated with entrepreneurs such as, self-confidence, tolerance for ambiguity, high energy levels, and share a desire for independence. Candace and Charles displayed confidence by believing in them and in their cupcake business and made the decision to quit their lucrative careers to pursue the uncertainty of the cupcake only bakery. Their confidence could be tied in with their tolerance for ambiguity. Entrepreneurs are risk takers; they tolerate situations with high degree of uncertainty. This is the case for the Nelson’s. To bring the cupcake concept to L.A. during a time that the United States was deeply influenced by the “South Beach Diet” a diet that inspired low-carb eating was a major risk to take. Success in the beginning was uncertain yet they quit their jobs and made a go of it. Having a high energy level is critical in any small business. Hard work was something the Nelson’s were used to. They both were obviously college educated and I am sure it takes a great deal of hard work and energy to be an investment banker. The Nelson’s brought their high energy level to Sprinkles. This is observed through Candace’s actions to get 300 cupcakes ready and flying on a red eye flight to be on the Oprah Winfrey show. Her hard work here gave Sprinkles the publicity it needed to gain a steady customer base. The Nelson’s ignored the negatives surrounding them and pursued their dream. One could argue that they desired independence. This could be the reason that they left lucrative careers that paid them well to venture out and open a cupcake only bakery. Here they are the owners, bosses, employees. They work for themselves and their success or failure is their own.…

    Ben and Jerry's

    Ben and Jerry 's ice cream and the amazing success the company has experience over the years could be loosely summed up as a story that began with two friends coming together with a vision to create a company that did not adhere to the traditional corporate rules of running a business. They both had certain ideals and a socially and economic responsible opinion on how a capitalist business should be run. There are a lot of similarities in the way this company is run and operated when compared to South West Airlines. They are of course offering two different things to there customers, South West providing a service where Ben and Jerry 's are providing a product but the way that they go about there daily business in the spirit of treating people a certain way, and setting out to complete a different kind of vision then say a more traditional company would is very similar.…

    2. I believe Greyston Bakery has been successful because it has become known as the producer of the highest quality brownies in the most top rated restaurants in New York, as well as some top retailers including Bloomingdales, Saks, and Godiva. In order to be considered the best bakery around, the retailers of them must have some sort of merit. Since Greyston Bakery has business with these well known companies, it gives them prestige in the industry. The company also has a continuous business with Ben and Jerry’s Ice cream that successfully constitutes for 90 percent of Greyston’s daily production. Greyston Bakery also has an excellent mission for the employees of the company. They are committed to personal transformation and community renewal. This means that…
