For 2012 the UN focuses on cooperatives “because cooperative enterprises contribute to reducing poverty for many families and communities”.
Members of cooperatives undertake voluntarily to get associated and better pool their individual resources. This social and participatory model stands for values that perfectly suit the fair trade values: payment of a fair price and obtaining fair incomes.

Draft: Wal-Mart
General Education Capstone
Crystal Sims
February 9, 2016
Introduction
Wal-Mart has been one of the organizations in the forefront of initiating partnerships with the community in its operations (Fishman, 2012). As a result, the organization has initiated programs to reinforce the commitments of stimulating economic development, expanding access to the affordable groceries and creating quality jobs within the city. It is among the biggest corporations not only in America but across the globe with more than 1 million employees and with revenue that exceeds $250 billion (Berg & Roberts, 2012). It is a corporation experiencing a steady growth which has been attributed to the innovative and the revolutionary business strategies emphasizing complicated chain management and cutting on the overall operational costs. It has adopted business models that have transformed patterns used in the retail and wholesale trade. This is in addition to the adoption of the latest logistics strategies involving the transportation and the distribution of the commodities (Brunn, 2014). Wal-Mart has been offering a wide variety of products at relatively lower prices than most of its competitors. Moreover, the company adopts most of the intelligent people as its employees, and this makes it generate a considerable amount of sales as well as property tax for the locally residing communities (Berg & Roberts, 2012).
Wal-Mart historical background
Wal-Mart evolved from the Walton’s zeal for value and great customer service and opened Wal-Mart in Rogers, Arkansas in 9162 (Ferguson, 2015). Many of the competitors thought offering great discount for customers would never work. Much to the surprise among the competitors the idea even went beyond Sam’s expectations. Wal-Mart became public in 1970 and proceedings greatly financed the business expansion (Wal-Mart, 2015) .Sam credited the expansion of the business not only in the low prices offered but also to the business associates. This is because, he depended on them to give a great experience to the customers that would continuously enable them to always come back. Sam made his vision become known among his associates in ways which were almost unheard within the industry. He partnered with the associates to enhance the success of the organization.as the stores began to grow, so did his aspirations (Wal-Mart, 2015). He began experimenting with new stores, bringing new approaches and best retail technologies. His fearlessness in setting the prices below the market standard created more value in the customers which has enabled it to be one of the largest retail chains in the world. After receiving a Medal of Freedom, he died in 1992 although his left a continuous legacy (Vance, Scott, & Perkins, 2014).

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.

1. Oxfam - the good guy among the big guys Company profile and reputation analysis.
2. Non-Profit PR Non profit PR is becoming more and more attractive for organisations who want to communicate information in an efficient and meaningful way. Organisations with big ideas and awareness of the social issues around the world. In modern days when Social Media is playing a big part in everyone’s life, it gets easier for Non-profit organisations to communicate their message to the publics.
3. Oxfam Oxfam’s story: It started in Oxford in 1942 as an Oxford Committee for Famine Relief. After the WWII Oxfam continued as a charity organisation and opened several shops in the area. Now Oxfam has shops in almost every town in Britain and many other countries. Oxfam is a growing confederation of 13 organisations for global impact. It fights against poverty and suffering.
4.
5. Communications Strategy Media management Oxfam, being one of the biggest NGOs in the UK, has strong relationships with the media. That is why when a particular problem or an issue needs to be addressed to the publics, Oxfam primarily relies on media coverage. The organisation supports national and international media by its ad hoc media working groups. For example, there were updates on the Haiti disaster almost every day. Press releases are being made available for download.
6. Lobbying and advocacy What is advocacy? “Action that involves trying to influence and change the policy and practice of decision makers (such as governments, national and international institutions, local leaders) and to transform public perceptions, attitudes and behaviour. This can occur at local, national and international levels.” (Oxfam) There are times, though, when lobbying is the more appropriate communication tool Direct lobbying of the government/policy makers through writing letters, meetings or lobby sessions.
7. Campaigns Oxfam’s campaigns are aiming at overcoming poverty and suffering. Currently, they are focused on campaigning on climate change. The Climate Change campaign’s objective: to get a fair deal at the UN Climate Change Conference in December 2009. Oxfam wanted rich countries to recognise their obligations and responsibilities for the developing countries to adapt to the climate change.
8. Oxfam in the social media Oxfam has a great presence in the social media websites. This contributes to the organisation's reputation and brand awareness. If the organisation wants to present a campaign or raise an issue, the social media makes it a lot easier, cost-efficient and time-saving. Oxfam on Facebook - 37,358 fans. The page is very interactive and allows fans to start discussions, join the campaigns and receive updates on the current issues Oxfam is dealing with. Oxfam on Twitter – 14,596 followers increasing with every minute. The Twitter page informs the followers about new causes and articles on the official website and new deals in the Oxfam shops as well. http://www.facebook.com/oxfamGB http://www.twitter.com/oxfamgb
9. Stakeholder Relationships and Reputation Oxfam has made 3 stakeholder surveys so far and the data shows that the stakeholders are overall satisfied with the organisation. They say it is improving its performance at influencing governments and organisations in order to reduce poverty and suffering.
10. The main stakeholders at Oxfam are: Financial supporters Their contribution has a great impact but still not enough involved in the campaigns. Volunteers The volunteers speak highly about the organisation, they feel they really made a difference. Their relationship with Oxfam is strong and they would definitely spread the positive word about it. Staff May be the most critical stakeholder group, mainly unsatisfied with Oxfam cost-cutting policy.
11. The main stakeholders at Oxfam are: Campaign supporters Strong support for the three main campaigns but ill-informed about everything else that goes on in Oxfam which maybe an obstacle for Oxfam to build a good reputation. Partners Highly positive response on the way Oxfam works. Partners in particular campaigns and programmes would be happy to work with Oxfam again. This comes as no surprise as working with a non-profit organisation raises the corporate profile of a company.
12. Good corporate reputation leads to satisfied stakeholders The Essence of the reputation is how the organisation is perceived by the stakeholders Some organisations try to define their reputation by measuring their performance. A better way of doing this is actually measuring the perceptions of the stakeholders. The reputation is not owned by the managers or the organisation itself, it exists in the minds of the stakeholders. Oxfam being an international non-profit organisation has a good corporate reputation. The organisation is largely supported by the publics and is valued for its campaigns.
13. Oxfam in the land of non-profit Voluntary and charity sector is very saturated. There are a number of charity organisations collecting donations for research and development but Oxfam takes a step forward with its innovative and interactive online and offline campaigns. This particular organisation has shown an understanding in getting people involved through different channels and campaigning for relevant matters.
