1. Do you think Jim is solely motivated by profit?
I think Jim isn’t solely motivated by profit; he seems to care more about the needs of his community than making a profit in his business. However Jim is successful and experienced with his business and by appealing to the communities needs his profit increases. 2. Identify what you think are the businesses core values.
The businesses core values would be the values of their customers; they provide good services to their customers. The business also believes in building trust with the local community by buying resources from other businesses. They also care about the environment by re-cycling food and paper scraps from the compost and then sells the compost to locals. They also encourage customers to eat in and they have installed rainwater tanks where they use the rainwater on the businesses native garden. 3. Identify five stakeholders of the business and explain how the business affects them. (Employees, Community, Local suppliers, Environment and customers).
The business provides employees with opportunities to improve their skills. In return employees tend to stay and the businesses profit increases as well as the employee and customer loyalty. The business provides the community with things such as showcasing the area’s native plants, selling seedlings to customers and sponsoring high schools. As much as possible Jim buys his stock and other requirements from local businesses, building a relationship with other businesses could also benefit his business as they could share experiences and skills with each other to benefit both businesses.

    Most businesses start with the primary thought of making money. As a small grocery store chain, it is hard to compete with the larger national grocery stores, which often force the smaller local stores out of business. It is this dynamic, with the help of consumers, which is forcing both small and large businesses to reconsider their organizational goals and outcomes to include social responsibility. A successful business understands their customers, learns what their customers presently need, and foresees what their customers will need in the future.…

    Company Q, a local grocery store chain, has recently closed a couple of stores in higher crime rate areas due to losing money, added the much requested organic foods at a very high margin, and has declined donating day old food products to a local food bank out of worries about losing money due to stealing and fraud. At this point, Company Q seems more concerned about making a profit than building relationships with the community they are serving. In turn, could very well be losing more business due to the perception they are projecting about being concerned about profits.…

    We often hear in the news today stories of food deserts across our nation where healthy affordable food is difficult to obtain. The First Lady even started a program to try and help bring grocers back into urban low income areas. If the Grocer in question would have acted as good corporate citizens they may have been able to address the following issues and possibly prevented the closing of their stores. Company Q could have contributed to the disadvantaged hungry people of their community through the services of the food bank all while improving public relations with their community and employees. It is also possible they could have increased profits by engaging customers and responding to their feedback and requests in a timely manner. Taking these simple steps could have had a positive impact on their community and success and profitability of their business.…

    My current networking strategies are different in comparison to my past networking strategies. Over the years I have realized how important networking is and that it is something that you must tend to over time in order to reap benefits from it in the future. After all, the United States Bureau of Labor of Statistics stated that 70% of jobs are obtained through networking (Caullay). In the past I used to only have friends, family members, and fellow church members included in my close network. Now, I have expanded my network to also consist of my past and current classmates. I think it would also be a great idea to include special interest groups in your network because the people you associate with in the groups can see your professional and general professionalism. Another networking strategy that has changed with me is that I no longer expect immediate results. As I stated before, a network is something that you must obtain over time and receive benefits from in the future. I think it would also be a great idea to broadcast your job search. I used to only send in a cover letter with a resume to companies that I was interested in being employed by. Now, I send a detailed cover letter with a resume to everyone in my network. I do so because most jobs are obtained through word of mouth, and having a broad network will really help that word travel to the right people.…
