BUSN 115 Week 1 Discussions 1 and 2
Laws and Regulations (graded)
Do laws and regulations always restrict or impede the efforts of
business professionals, or can they actually help businesses? In

addition to this, could you list some examples of laws or
regulations that may have impeded business lately?
Entrepreneurship Failure (graded)
The risk of failure is an inherent part of free enterprise. Does
society have an obligation to come to the aid of entrepreneurs
who try but fail? Why or why not? Also, please discuss some
ways you can minimize your risk.
Global Markets (graded)
How can a company use licensing agreements to enter world
markets? What two fundamental product strategies do
companies choose between when selling their products in the
global marketplace?

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) (graded)
Is it ethical for companies to benefit from their efforts to
practice corporate social responsibility? Why or why not? How
can anyone be sure that CSR efforts aren’t just public relations
ploys?
Starting a Business (graded)
What are the advantages of buying a business rather than
starting one from scratch? What are the advantages and
disadvantages of owning a franchise?
Early Adopters (graded)

Do you consider yourself an early adopter when it comes to
trying out new products or new fashions, or do you tend to take
a wait-and-see attitude? How does your attitude toward new
products and new ideas influence your decision making as a
consumer?
Purchasing Process (graded)
Think of a product you recently purchased and review your
decision process. Why did you need or want that product? How
did the product’s marketing influence your purchase decision?
How did you investigate the product before making your
purchase decision? Did you experience cognitive dissonance
after your decision?
Advertising (graded)

Think about an advertisement (in any medium) that had either
a strongly positive or strongly negative effect on your attitude
toward the product being advertised or the advertiser itself.
Why did the ad have this effect? If you responded positively to
the ad, do you think you were being manipulated in any way? If
you responded negatively—and you are a potential buyer of the
product that was advertised—what changes would you make to
the ad to make it more successful?
Motivation Theories(graded)
Chapter 10 discusses several styles of leadership, including
autocratic, democratic, and laissez-faire. How do each of these
styles relate to Theory X and Theory Y assumptions about
workers?
Benefit Choices (graded)

When you begin interviewing as you approach graduation, you
will need to analyze job offers that include a number of
financial and nonfinancial elements. Which of these aspects of
employment are your top three priorities: a good base wage;
bonus or commission opportunities, profit-sharing potential;
rapid advancement opportunities; flexible work arrangements;
good healthcare insurance coverage; or a strong retirement
program? Which of these elements would you be willing to
forego in order to get your top three?
Supply-Chain Management (graded)
How can supply-chain management (SCM) help a company
establish a competitive advantage? What are ways that
companies can improve their supply chains?
Technology Improvement (graded)

Business is stalled. Sales last month were 10 percent less than
the previous month and so far this month is looking even worse
than last month. Could technology help you answer the
decrease in sales? What technologies could you deploy to
increase sales?
Accounting Firm (graded)
The senior partner of an accounting firm is looking for ways to
increase the firm’s business. What other services besides
traditional accounting can the firm offer to its clients? What
new challenges might this additional work create?
Financial Control (graded)

The company you cofounded last year is growing rapidly and
has strong prospects for an IPO in the next year or two. The
additional capital that an IPO could raise would let you hire the
brightest people in the industry and continue to innovate with
new product research. There is one potential glitch: You and
the rest of the executive team have been so focused on
launching the business that you haven’t paid much attention to
financial control. You’ve had plenty of funds from venture
capitalists and early sales, so working capital hasn’t been a
problem, but an experienced CEO in your industry recently told
you that you’ll never have a successful IPO unless you clean up
the financial side of the house. Your cofounders say they are too
busy chasing great opportunities right now and they want to
wait until right before the IPO to hire a seasoned financial
executive to put things in order. What should you do and why?
