The Gingerbread Man
The Gingerbread Man
Once upon a time there was a little old woman and a little old man. The little old woman thought she'd make a gingerbread man. She rolled out the dough, and cut out the shape, and she put raisins for his eyes, and peppermints for his teeth, and put icing on his head for the hair. Then she put him in the oven, and when it smelled good, she opened up the door to take a peek and
--- Yooop!--- out jumped the gingerbread man.

"Stop! Stop, little gingerbread man!" said the little old lady. "I want to eat you!"
"No!" said the little gingerbread man. "I can run away from you!"

"Run, run, as fast as you can!
Can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"

And away he ran!

He ran till he got outside, where he saw the little old man. And the little old man said, "Stop! Stop little gingerbread man! I want to eat you!"

And the little gingerbread man said: "NO! I ran away from the little old woman, and I can run away from you too!

Run, run, fast as you can!
Can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"

and away he ran!

He ran till he came to the pigsty. And the pig said,

"(Oink Oink)-- Stop! Stop little gingerbread man! I want to eat you!"

But the gingerbread man said, "NO! I ran away from the little old woman, I ran away from the little old man, and I can run away from you too!

Run, run, fast as you can!
Can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"

and away he ran!

He ran till he came to a house. And in front of the house was a dog. And the dog said, "STOP! Stop stop stop stop stoooooooooop! Little gingerbread man! I want to eat you!"

But the gingerbread man said, "NO! I ran away from the little old woman, and the little old man, and a pig, and I can run away from you too!"

Run, run, fast as you can!
Can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"

and away he ran!

He ran till he came to a field full of cows. And the cows said,

"Mooooo! Stoooooooop! Stoooooooop little gingerbread man. We want to eat you!"

    Most large successful companies lose the ability to enter small emerging markets because it brings additional risk to the corporation and might have stronger risk management policies. Other risks such as contractual risk, reputation risk, banking and currency risk, sustainability concerns are reasons why most companies fail to respond nimbly to changing market circumstances and challenges. Companies can address these issues by establishing proper risk management process, scenario development and contingency plans. In addition, large successful companies lose the ability to enter small emerging markets because they do not identify what they can and cannot do. They lose the capability to foresee changes, which disrupt any chances to continue to innovate and keep up with small emerging companies. Large successful companies need to always evaluate how effective they are using their resources, processes, and values. Once a company reaches the Large Company status, they lose focus and that’s not an acceptable practice in this changing technology and innovating world. Some companies fall so far behind technology and innovation where they end up going bankrupt and have to close. For example, one company may sell a product in a store and another company comes up with an ideal to sell the same product online. Customers will have the option of ordering the product online instead of driving to a store to get the same product. This a prime example of lack of continuing keeping up with technology and innovation can cause a company to hit growth trap and a result of having to close the business.…
