Transaction cost economics applies to Tim Hortons in a very simple way. ‘Transaction cost economics is mainly concerned with the governance of contractual relations.’ (Douma 195) This is due to having their own coffee roasting facilities, they also have their own facility to pre-bake and packaging facilities. Thereby they can avoid suppliers acting bounded rationally or opportunistic. This minimises the interaction to external suppliers and thus minimises dependability, and avoids possible hold-ups. The transaction cost within the firm solely lies in contact, contract and control of the franchise owners.Similar to most other firm, Tim Hortons is not fully vertically integrated, which means they still have contact, contracts,…

Where else to begin? Toronto has some of the best restaurants in the world, and its multiculturalism lends itself to a wide variety of cuisines. If you're as committed to carbs as I am, you have to check out Terroni. This Italian restaurant has locations across the city, so you'll be able to access one wherever you're staying, but my personal favourite is the Adelaide site. It’s housed inside of an old court house and jail, and you can even see some of the cells in the washrooms downstairs! This restaurant may have a few quirks (like their refusal to make changes to the menu or serve pre-cut pizza), but the delicious food is definitely worth the slight annoyance. If you prefer pasta, I recommend the Spaghetti al Limone, a tangy lemon dish which is light but still slightly creamy and definitely filling enough for a full meal!…

purpose, without it teams are lost just like boat without helm. A team’s purpose is determined by considering the company’s vision, mission and values as well as their own. By considering and trying to align with the company’s vision the teams own purpose should not risk conflict or failure. Each team member should have input into the teams purpose, as this will result in a shared purpose which will build a happier more productive team. My teams purpose as I said is determined by the restaurant’s vision which is to grow a fine class of clientele and perfect customer service; every team member have it is own responsibilities and a common sense of purpose that supports the overall vision and strategy of the organisation; strategy of the manager is to attract a more a different demographic such as A and B a more affluent people.…
