Small Business "State of the Union" Interest and involvement in small business and entrepreneurial activities is an integral part of United States economy thorough both good and "challenging" times. To see how "things" are doing, your assignment is to research the today's climate of small business and its economic impact. Included in your submission could/should be information related to numbers of what "defines" a small business , employers and employees, job growth, current numbers of small businesses (which will vary dependent upon sources utilized), women-owned and minority-owned business statistics, as well as information related to business turnover (closures for whatever reasons). Other economic areas to explore include exporting activities tied to small business, federal and state procurement activities (selling to the government), innovation activities (and federal funds which may have been awarded to small businesses to assist with innovation), and federal and/or state sources of funding which may have been utilized. Recommended resources for use on this assignment would be the U.S. Census data, Small Business Administration (SBA), Department of Labor (DOL), Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other reputable sites. Popular press information can also be utilized to supplement (e.g. Entrepreneur Magazine, INC. Magazine, Forbes, etc.) Please utilize the most current year data available in your narrative and provide a source document at the end of your work identifying the resources cited. This paper should be 3-4 pages (not including source document) in length with a thorough discussion and explanation of the information provided. As always, your final thoughts regarding the findings are acceptable and appreciated. .

Discussion 1 MD International is a medical supply company that has exported medical equipment, initially to Latin America. They acted as an intermediary for other businesses in doing so. This made it more cost efficient for other businesses due to the broad spectrum of products MD was involved with. The company owner chose Latin America since he was already familiar with business in the area. At the time trade barriers were coming down, which made the area ripe for new entry. The local governments were also expanding in the area of health care (Hill, 2012). The company made South Florida home base. The company worked with specialists in Latin America in the fields of medical supplies they were trying to sell. Along with selling the products, they were able to offer training and support for the products they sold (Hill, 2012). They relied on export assistance programs established by the United States. One of the biggest things they counted on was the Export Import Bank, also known as Ex-Im Bank. This bank provided financial assistance and insurance to help facilitate exports, imports and exchanges between the United States and foreign countries (Hill, 2012). MD International started out as a small company. With that understanding, although they became successful, they could not have done so without the help of these programs. They could not afford to finance business deals with other companies and foreign countries on their own. They also could not afford to float loans and continue to produce. In essence, without the assistance of U.S. government assistance, MD International would not have been able to accomplish their goals of going into the global market. According to James Merritt, owner of MD International, “ Without Ex-Im’s assistance, our company would have lost important sales, and individuals throughout Latin America would have gone without access to modern medical technology” (Merritt, 2006, p.1). This to me is definitely good use of taxpayers money. Businesses that are able to export goods and services are in essence bringing money back into the United States through their sales. Even small business can grow into large corporations given the right circumstances. Unfortunately this is not always easy to accomplish without the capital to do it. Getting this capital is not easy due to the risks involved in dealing with other countries. If a foreign country defaults on a loan, the money is difficult to recover. The laws governing them are different and the currency is not always the same or equal. Most conventional banks refuse to become involved in these deals (Merritt, 2006). For those companies that have a product that could bring money back to the United States, the Ex-Im Bank is a lifesaver. “American companies of all sizes would lose countless billions of dollars in export sales—and the high-paying expor.

Scott DeRue, Management and Organizations, Stephen M. Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA Email: [email protected] Understanding the Motivational Contingencies of Team Leadership D. Scott DeRue1, Christopher M. Barnes2, and Frederick P. Morgeson3 Abstract Despite increased research on team leadership, little is known about the conditions under which coaching versus directive forms of team leadership are more effective, or the processes through which team leadership styles influence team outcomes. In the present study, the authors found that coaching leadership was more effective than directive leadership when the team leader was highly charismatic and less effective than directive leadership when the team leader lacked charisma. Directive leadership was more effective than coaching leadership when team members were high in self-efficacy and less effective than coaching leadership when team members lacked self-efficacy. The moderating effects of leader charisma and team member self-efficacy were mediated through motivational pathways involving team member effort. Keywords teams, leadership, motivation A growing body of research highlights how important leader behaviors are for team performance (DeRue, Nahrgang, Wellman, & Humphrey, in press; 622 Small Group Research 41(5) Druskat & Wheeler, 2003; Durham, Knight, & Locke, 1997). In fact, Zaccaro, Rittman, and Marks (2001) suggest that effective leadership is one of the more important factors in the success of organizational teams. Yet at the same time, we still have a limited understanding of how leaders create and manage effective teams (Burke et al., 2006; Kozlowski, Gully, Salas, & Cannon- Bowers, 1996; Zaccaro et al., 2001). Research indicates that team leaders engage in a variety of behaviors aimed at facilitating team functioning and performance (Morgeson, DeRue, & Karam, 2010). One approach involves encouraging the team to manage its own affairs and developing the team’s capacity to function effectively without direct intervention from the team leader. First identified by Manz and Sims (1987), and later analyzed by many other scholars (e.g., Hackman & Wageman, 2005; Morgeson, 2005; Wageman, 2001), this form of leadership focuses on coaching the team and empowering its self-management. This coaching form of leadership is particularly important given that team leaders are sometimes external to a team and not involved in its daily task activities. Using in-depth interviews and survey-based research, Manz and Sims found that team leaders who encourag.

SMALL GROUP LESSON 1 SMALL GROUP LESSON 2 Field Experience B: Small Group Lesson Babita Mohabir GCU SEC 580 June 10, 2020 Small Group Lesson I am highly satisfied with the lesson plan, particularly because it yielded the desired results proving that it was carefully crafted right from the beginning. My goal at the end of the lesson was to offer a good learning experience to the learners, and I achieved that. I was able to put into perspective all the factors which played a huge role in influencing the learning outcomes of the learners in the small group. I executed the lesson plan effectively. I engaged the learners and strengthened their understanding of the course content. By sharing the lesson plan with the learners through highlighting a visible agenda on the board about what they will be learning and doing during class time, I was able to keep them on track. I made a conscious effort to maintain eye contact in class, and this enhanced the involvement of the learners with the course content. I conveyed the content and instructions in a clear and specific manner so that the learners with poor listening comprehension were not left behind. When attempting to put a point across in class, I ensured that my voice was loud enough and clear. This, coupled with the developed rules and regulations, enabled me to successfully maintain a degree of order and control in the class, and fully grasped the attention of the learners. Using relevant examples and analogies to demonstrate the mathematical concepts was successful as the learners were able to understand the topic more. I also succeeded in building a rapport with the learners thanks to the warm and friendly class atmosphere that I created. Additionally, I was successful in time management. I did not run out of time as all that I had planned to cover was completed within the stipulated timeline. Using a collaborative approach for teaching also succeeded in boosting involvement among all the learners. In regard to the improvements, apart from winding up the lesson by simply summarizing the main points learned, it would be a good idea to conclude by also previewing the next lesson. This means briefly striking a connection between the finished concept and the next coming concept. A combination of summarizing and previewing would spur the interest of the learners in the coming lesson and enable them to connect the various ideas within a much larger context. The other improvement would have been establishing strategies to obtain learners’ feedback in order to gather insight into any shortcomings in my teaching technique. The lesson plan was effectively assessed since I had created several productive questions for each learning concept which I was to use to check for understa.

Small Group Discussion Grading Rubric Participation for MSN Small Group Discussion Guiding Principles The ideas and beliefs underpinning the small group discussions (GDs) guide students through engaging dialogues as they achieve the desired learning outcomes/competencies associated with their course in a manner that empowers them to organize, integrate, apply and critically appraise their knowledge to their selected field of practice. The use of GDs provides students with opportunities to contribute level-appropriate knowledge and experience to the topic in a safe, caring, and fluid environment that models professional and social interaction. The GD’s ebb and flow is based upon the composition of student and faculty interaction in the quest for relevant scholarship. Participation in the GDs generates opportunities for students to actively engage in the written ideas of others by carefully reading, researching, reflecting, and responding to the contributions of their peers and course faculty. GDs foster the development of members into a community of learners as they share ideas and inquiries, consider perspectives that may be different from their own, and integrate knowledge from other disciplines. Participation Guidelines Each weekly group discussion is worth a maximum of 50 points. Students must post a minimum of four times in each discussion. One of these posts must be a summary of learning for the week. The initial response to the discussion prompt must be posted by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. MT, of each week. Each of the subsequent posts must occur on days following the initial response. The final posting deadline for all subsequent posts is by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT of each week. For week 8 only, subsequent posts must occur by the Saturday deadline-11:59 pm MT. If the student does not meet the Wednesday posting deadline for the initial posting, a late penalty is applied of 5 points. Not meeting the requirements for subsequent postings, either in number or deadline, will result in a loss of 5 points. Group Discussion Responses Small group discussions provide the opportunity for deep exploration and new knowledge discovery of course topics. This type of exploration requires synthesis of various sources of information. Responses in group discussions should be substantive, reflect the student’s personal position on the topic, thoroughly address the information being asked for by the prompt, and include insights based on others’ postings. Direct quotes in group discussions should be a rare occurrence. These are to be limited to one short quotation (not to exceed 15 words). The quote must add substantively to the discussion. Points will be deducted under Scholarliness and/or Course Knowledge rubric categories.

SMALL BUSINESS LAW 1 SMALL BUSINESS LAW 3 Week 6 – Draft Research Paper Brian Cooke Wilmington University BLA 310 – Small Business Law 04/23/2020 Abstract It is indeed true that proper management of small businesses can offer protection from liability. Liability refers to the situation of being responsible for a particular act. A business is liable financially and legally. Proper liability risk management protects small businesses. The paper discusses several ways in which adequate management of liability risks can help in protecting small businesses against liabilities such as financial liabilities and legal liabilities. Proper procurement, cost, and change management also protect small businesses against liabilities. How Proper Management of a Small Business Can Provide Protection from Liability Operating a business can be fun, profitable, and challenging. However, the owner of a small business is legally liable hence can get sued. A lawsuit can be costly, emotionally draining, and time-consuming. For many small businesses, accusations associated with pending lawsuits can seriously damage their reputation. Civil suits against companies have increased by over 300% in the past two decades. Owners of small businesses need to protect themselves from huge expenses and devastating results resulting from unfavorable decisions in court. Many owners of small businesses fear to incur losses if a particular individual sues them. This is mainly for business owners who finance their companies using their capital. Liability comes in the form of financial liability and legal liability. These forms of liability have significant impacts on small businesses. There are several ways in which small business owners can go about limiting the possibility of legal liabilities to ensure the continuity of a business. They include purchasing specific types of insurance covers and transforming the business into a limited liability company or corporation (LLC) (Gupta, 2019). These ways will help safeguard small companies against liability. However, one significant way in which small business owners can protect their businesses from liability is to ensure that various aspects of a business are properly managed. This paper examines how proper management of small companies can offer protection from liability. Getting to Understand the Business Liability Liability refers to the situation of being responsible for a particular act (Mancuso, 2019). A business is liable financially and legally (Mancuso, 2019). Any business is financially liable since there are some liabilities, such as payable debts. For instance, if a business applies for a loan, the outstanding loan balance will be regarded as a liability. This is because the business is responsible and obli.

Small Business Consulting Report I. INTRODUCTION In this small consulting report, we will be analyzing the company WOSH to determine its strengths, weaknesses and possible solutions to all of its operational problems which can be addressed from a consulting perspective. We will provide an in depth report which will outline the approach we feel should be deemed best for the company to follow to gain success in their industry. In this report we will not present a financial analysis of the company due to the fact that the company’s owner has decided the information is too confidential to share with anyone, but himself and his personal financial team at this moment. We will instead focus on the other aspects of the business which can be fully analyzed and possibly improved upon. In our report we will be looking directly into many aspects of the company’s current operations. We will begin by analyzing the company’s background. We will look briefly at when and where it was founded, who founded it, what their mission statement is, what their ultimate goal is in terms of expansion and what are their primary products or services they offer. We will then take a brief look at what the company’s structure is like. We will do this in order to try to later determine where all decisions are made and by who and which level in the company has the most influence on how effectively the company is run. This can be very important when analyzing how a firm conducts day-to day operations. We will then take a look at all aspects of the company separately to try to find problems in the company’s operations. We will first take a look at the company’s current management approach, which refers to the way current management is handling all assets and employees which can be either loosely or closely managed. We will try to determine if all assets are being put to the best use possible with their approach or if a different approach is needed. We will also be looking into the company’s current marketing strategy and we will try to determine why they have chosen that specific strategy. In addition, we will determine whether or not this chosen strategy is the best fit for the company or if a different strategy approach may serve the company better and more effectively. Next we will look at the company’s current target market and we will determine if it is in fact the current target market the company is attracting. If it is not, then we will try to analyze why this is happening or even try to evaluate if they are even reaching those who they want and need to reach. Additionally, we will also take a look at how regular customers and businesses customers feel about the company. Talking to regular customers and business customers will help us determine their level of satisfaction and also to determine whether the company has any competitive advantages which helps distinguish it from competition. We will then evaluate if these advantages could possibly can be.

slides/10 Crusade and the Twelfth Century.pptx 3 León’s First Queen Alfonso VI married his daughter to Alfonso I of Aragon. Urraca was already a widow, with a legitimate son (and heir) born in 1104 named… Alfonso. Ruled the kingdom from 1109-1126. Incest makes the world go round The marriage of Urraca and Alfonso of Aragon was a violation of canon (Church) law, which forbid relations between third (or closer) cousins. Both Urraca and Alfonso were great-grandchildren of Sancho the Great, and were thus cousins. Such marriages were considered consanguineous, meaning the partners “shared blood”. What is more important… political expediency or Church approval? Unhappy Marriage Political expediency doesn’t work… no kids.

Included in your submission could/should be information related to numbers of what "defines" a small business , employers and employees, job growth, current numbers of small businesses (which will vary dependent upon sources utilized), women-owned and minority- owned business statistics, as well as information related to business turnover (closures for whatever reasons). Other economic areas to explore include exporting activities tied to small business, federal and state procurement activities (selling to the government), innovation activities (and federal funds which may have been awarded to small businesses to assist with innovation), and federal and/or state sources of funding which may have been utilized. Recommended resources for use on this assignment would be the U.S. Census data, Small Business Administration (SBA), Department of Labor (DOL), Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other reputable sites. Popular press information can also be utilized to supplement (e.g. Entrepreneur Magazine, INC. Magazine, Forbes, etc.) Please utilize the most current year data available in your narrative and provide a source document at the end of your work identifying the resources cited. This paper should be 3-4 pages (not including source document) in length with a thorough discussion and explanation of the information provided.
