Superheroes LLP MCS
Who is SuperHeroes LLP accountable to? And what is it accountable for?
SuperHeroes LLP is accountable to its customer, Good City. More specifically, SuperHeroes LLP is directly accountable to the mayor of Good City. In addition, the members of SuperHeroes LLP are accountable to each other and to their CEO, Catrix. SuperHeroes LLP is accountable for doing the job they were hired to do, which is lowering crime and keeping the citizens safe while causing minimal damage in the process.
What keeps SuperHeroes LLP’s CEO, Catrix, awake at night? In other words, what can get in the way of SuperHeroes LLP from successfully executing its strategy of cleaning up Good City and keeping it safe from criminals? If SuperHeroes causes more damage to the city than they prevent, they will no longer be providing value and will lose their contract with the city. The mayor told them that the city “would be lost” without them but that they “cause too much damage” and need to control themselves. One worry for SuperHeroes LLP is that having to be more careful may "tie their hands" and result in the team being less effective. This lack of freedom may prevent them from getting the job done.
Another possible worry is that SuperHeros LLP is going through rapid expansion (from 4 to 12 members) at a time when the mayor is complaining about prices and there is disagreement about the compensation within the organization. This could put extra stress on the company because the payment has to be spread among 12 members now. As a result of possible disagreements about compensation within SuperHeroes LLP there may also be a lack of commitment from the superheroes. If they do not feel they are being paid fairly, they may not work as hard.
Another issue that may be on Catrix's mind is the long term profitability of the company. If SuperHeroes LLP is successful in lowering the crime rate in Good City and have caught the criminals, it is possible that the mayor would end their contract.

    Company Q Task 1 Est1

    In Company Q’s case some business decisions need to be re-analyzed in order to ensure they are meeting their goals, as well as being socially responsible. Company Q is a small locally owned Company that has decided to close down stores in higher-crime-rate areas of the city due to the stores reportedly losing money. Another issue is that it took many years of insisting by the customers to get health-conscience and organic goods in due to worries by the company about high cost margins. They have also turned down opportunities to donate day-old products to the local food banks because they are worried about lost revenues and fraud. The current attituds and decisions seem to be based on the bottom line and profitability of the company rather than the best interests of the community and their customers. If these decisions are not evaluated and changed the company could ultimately lose their business to a more responsive competitor.…

    In terms of social responsibility, Company Q could help enrich the lives of families in need by supporting local community centers. Community centers play an important role in addressing the comprehensive needs of individuals and families by providing a wide range of resources that are most needed. Moreover, a responsible business could initiate programs to help disadvantaged youths and adults in the community, build employable works skills and connect them to career opportunities. Without question, the more job opportunities and employability of the citizens in that community the lower the crime rate would be.…

    There are a few reasons that I feel Company Q is concerned more with profit than social responsibility. The first is the closing of a couple of stores. The given states Company Q closed these stores due to revenue loss; however, it also states the store was in a high-crime-rate area of the city. By using the little information in the given I would assume that the store was closed more because of the climate of the area and not the loss of revenue. If it was in fact due to the climate of the area, then poor research was done when the store was built there. By closing these stores Company Q was more concerned with profit than social responsibility because now they have laid off employees, which may create a higher crime rate. They may have also left a building vacant, if this was already in a challenged area of the city a vacant building may turn into a liability.…

    By closing two stores which happen to be in higher-crime-rate areas of the city and justifying these closures with simplistic explanations that the stores were “consistently losing money,” Company Q leaves room for speculation that the closure decision was likely predicated upon the more obvious challenge: greater expenses associated with risk management of operations in higher-crime-areas. Without any more diligence of effort in providing an explanation to the community regarding these closures, closures which will have a very dramatic, negative effect on individuals and families living in the affected areas, it appears as though Company Q is simply pulling out of a part of the community already suffering significant economic difficulties because profits are not as easily generated at these locations. Pulling out of these areas may be short sighted and might have a blowback effect that could ultimately do more harm than good to the organization as a whole.…

    St. Louis Pros And Cons

    As more money is collected from the residents whether under ethical circumstances or not, that money goes to the city bankroll, and its elected officials have allowed these practices to continue. When cities are run by corrupt politicians lining their pockets at the expense of citizens’, it is no wonder that those very same citizens are the ones to act out in protest, or even riot as a last resort, as they did in the fall of 2014. They were simply fed up from being forced to live with corrupt politics and the results of decades of unethical and unfair practices by local and state government. Many residents resorted to violent acts, such as looting, and the burning of businesses. Most of the world could only sit back and watch on television news, as the Ferguson riots happened. Government leaders at the local, state, and national level have so many tools at their beckon call, to ensure communities like Ferguson do not get to a point where its citizens feel they have no other recourse other than to act out. There are many methods of conflict resolution that could be put into place to avoid similar conflicts. The riots of Ferguson took decades to come to realization, but cleaning up the political mess, with the city’s infrastructure hanging in the balance, may take decades, or even longer to…

    Newark Nj Crime

    • 808 Words
    • 4 Pages

    There are a lot of social problems in my community. The most current social issue is that Newark, NJ has laid off 167 police officials on November 30th of 2010. This was 14% of the police working for Newark. They were discharged from several precincts within Newark. Jen Chung from Gothamist stated "crime has increased there have been numerous carjacking’s—victims include a staffer in the NJ Attorney General's office and a Newark school principal—and shootings (since Thursday, four people have been shot dead and six have been wounded)." Since the layoff of police, residents have feared whether or not they will be safe in this high crime city they reside in. According to David Giambusso and Alexi Friedman from the Star Ledger (”Newark finalizes 167 police layoffs after union refuses Booker's plea to return to negotiating table”), “The layoffs are projected to save $9.5 million in annual expense, part of the Booker administration’s effort to close a $83 million hole in the 2011 city budget.” This social problem can be dealt with by bringing in state troopers to replace the laid off officers, assigning more officers to be on patrol instead of doing desk work, and by starting neighborhood watch programs.…

    “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no its Superman!” For decades comic book characters such as Superman, The Incredible Hulk, Batman, and Wonder Woman have captured the imaginations of American children and adults alike. “Superheroes,” they have been coined. But these figures only exist in our imaginations. Batman is not really there to save us from villains such as the Joker and the Riddler. Because these heroes are fictional, we are left without real life heroes… or are we? The answer is clearly no. Heroes are all around us. They can be courageous, intelligent, strong or daring, but heroes to me are selfless and brave.…

    Superheroes know the difference between right and wrong. The whole point of having a superhero is because there is a villain to face, an adversity. There can be no good without evil. If there is nothing to fight for, nobody will reach a new potential to fight for it. Whenever a villain is attempting to impose a reign of terror amongst a population, the superhero steps in and gives it his all to ensure the safety of the people. They are constantly proving who they are and what they stand for. If superheroes were real, they would be a definite figure to look up to considering how much adversity steps in their path, and how they show no fear and they would give their lives for the sake of people. If you think about it, what made them want to be a hero in the first place? There had to be some form of evil, some adversity, which made them want to be the ones to save everyone else. Super villains further prove this point because they also have great power, do they not? Who knows what set them…
