Entrepreneurial Mindset
When it comes to defining an entrepreneurial mindset, it's crucial to remember that the term "entrepreneur" has no universal definition. However, it is frequently linked with business owners. Individuals that participate in visionary thinking and creativity, as well as taking advantage of chances, are described as having an entrepreneurial mindset in this context. (Nadelson, 2018)
Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Oprah Winfrey are all successful entrepreneurs. Oprah is a prime example of how hard effort pays off, as well as a typical rags to riches story that only a few people can achieve.

Product or Service that can be improved
Improvements that can be made to a product or service. During times of crisis, particularly today, many businesses encounter insurmountable obstacles that result in a drop in income across the board. GameStop, for example, has long been a go-to retailer for players looking for a wide variety of physical disc-based games. Due to the pandemic, they have been forced to close many of their stores in order to reduce their losses. GameStop, on the other hand, might place a greater emphasis on online and in-store promotions, offers, and gear. This puts customers at rest, and while it won't completely solve the company's problems, it will increase overall income in the long run.

Company Analysis project – BSAD 245 – Fall 2013
These are basic steps you may use when evaluating company cases in my graduate and undergraduate business strategy and business policy courses.
Before you start, you must understand a couple of things.
· This is not meant to be an exhaustive list; there are other steps that can be followed to get deeper into the meaning of the numbers.
· You cannot analyze the numbers in a vacuum. The numbers only provide indicators to trigger further questions in your mind.
· In order to do a thorough job, you must understand something about the company’s business and strategies, and its industry. Financial indicators vary from industry to industry; the ratios can only be interpreted when compared and contrasted with other companies in that industry. For example, financial indicators are (and should be) different among financial institutions, manufacturing companies, companies that provide services, and technology and computer information and services companies.
· Financial analysis is something of an art. Experienced managers, investors and analysts develop a data bank of information over time, and after doing many such analyses, that they bring to bear every time they review a company.
Step 1. Acquire the company’s financial statements for several years. These may be found in a recent annual report; in the company’s 10K filing on the SEC’s EDGAR database; or from other internet sources such as MSNMoney.com or Yahoo.com. As a minimum, get the following statements, for the last 3 years.
· Balance sheets
· Income statements
· Shareholders equity statements
· Cash flow statements
Step 2. Quickly scan all of the statements to look for large movements in specific items from one year to the next. For example, did revenues have a big jump, or a big fall, from one particular year to the next? Did total or fixed assets grow or fall? If you find anything that looks very suspicious, research the information you have about the company to find out why. For example, did the company purchase a new division, or sell off part of its operations, that year? You can easily calculate the dollar amount and percentage amount change for each line item.
Step 3. Review the notes accompanying the financial statements for additional information that may be significant to your analysis.
Step 4. Examine the balance sheet. Look for large changes in the overall components of the company's assets, liabilities or equity. For example, have fixed assets grown rapidly in one or tw ...

Questions On Financial Management For ProfitLisa Fields
This document compares for-profit and non-profit colleges. The key differences are that for-profit colleges are privately owned businesses that aim to generate profit, while non-profits are owned by the public or a charitable organization and do not distribute profits. For-profits must satisfy shareholders and are subject to market forces, while non-profits have a mission to provide education and maintain financial stability. Both types of colleges rely on tuition as a main source of revenue but non-profits also receive government funding and donations.
The passage discusses the cash flow statement and how it can help overcome limitations of traditional financial statement analysis in evaluating past performance and predicting future success or failure of businesses. Specifically, it notes that the cash flow statement records cash inflows and outflows, helping investors understand where money comes from and is spent. This provides insights beyond balance sheets and income statements by showing whether a profitable company has sufficient cash flow to continue operating and pay debts/dividends. The cash flow statement thus presents a more complete picture of a company's liquidity and viability over time.

It prompts the reader to consider which two resources from a list provided could be capitalized on through concrete actions over the next two months to help meet plans and targets. The overall message is on the importance of effectively managing and utilizing available resources.
The document outlines three national products for Greece for 2015-2016: (1) gaining professional experience in IT abroad through internships; (2) gaining professional experience in business abroad through internships with a focus on marketing, sales, finance, etc.; and (3) gaining professional experience in education and teaching abroad. The products are aimed at university students and recent graduates, are powered by AIESEC, and focus on providing international experience, cross-cultural exposure, and networking opportunities.
The document discusses improving the matching process between Experienced Participants (EPs) and internships. It identifies key bottlenecks such as EPs applying but not getting selected. It recommends providing national training and standardized application materials to improve EP applications. At the local level, it suggests pre-selection preparation meetings for EPs, tracking application progress and feedback, and regular EP meetings for relationship building and refreshing motivation. The overall goal is to better align expectations, communicate the matching process, and help EPs strengthen their applications.
The document outlines the role and responsibilities of a project manager. It states that the project manager is responsible for coordinating their team, performance management, coaching, creating the right team culture, and developing team members. However, the project manager must inform and get agreement from their vice president before changing the project strategy or roles of team members. It asks how the project manager can transform their vision into action with their team, engage members to work towards shared goals, and what additional knowledge is needed to feel confident co-creating strategies with the vice president.
Coaching involves supporting individuals or teams to achieve goals and improve skills. There are two main types: personal coaching focuses on individual goals and development, while team coaching helps groups work together more effectively. As a project manager, the document outlines how to coach both individuals on things like career plans and mentorship, as well as teams through meetings and setting standards. A model for coaching involves checking reality, exploring options, and making decisions.
The document provides tips for effective presentations. It recommends planning ahead by considering the three most important things for the audience to remember: the introduction, main theme, and conclusion. When presenting, use 10 slides maximum, speak for 20 minutes or less, and use a minimum 30 point font. Practice your presentation and focus on engaging the audience by making eye contact, using your voice effectively, telling stories, and showing passion. Be prepared to answer questions using the TRACT technique of thanking, repeating, answering, checking, and thanking again.
The document discusses the importance of team standards for performance and productivity. It notes some excuses people give for not focusing on team standards, such as not having time or feeling they do everything the team needs. However, establishing minimum standards is important to ensure the team can perform well. The document suggests team standards can help with productivity and reviews.
Personal meetings are one-on-one meetings between two individuals that are suggested to occur monthly to check performance and personal development. Guidelines for personal meetings include getting to know the member, setting expectations, discussing current experiences, setting personal goals and action steps, and providing feedback. Action steps should be specific, measurable milestones connected to the member's goals and role. Follow-ups include keeping meeting notes, sharing them with the member, tracking progress on action steps, and evaluating and re-setting goals as needed during subsequent monthly meetings.
This document provides guidance on marketing education for AIESEC. It discusses how to communicate about AIESEC to professors, friends, and NGOs. It also offers tips for physical promotion through stands and classrooms, including being prepared, smiling, and making eye contact. Guidance is given for online promotion through email and Facebook posts, such as using a clear structure in emails and including descriptions and application links for posts. The document also outlines rules for opportunities marketing, such as writing in the second person and using human-centered language rather than buzzwords.
This document discusses the importance and components of an effective project plan. It notes that a project plan:
1) Provides organization and clarity on tasks, milestones, and stakeholders involved in order to stay focused on achieving the end goal.
2) Ensures effective communication between team members by outlining who is responsible for which tasks and deadlines.
3) Should include key elements like milestones, activities, key performance indicators, responsibilities, and a timeline in order to break large projects into implementable steps.
The document then provides instructions for workshop participants to work in teams to create a project plan for reaching a concrete goal for a youth program's customers.
The document discusses implementing team standards in meetings to improve leadership development. It recommends including a "Team Standards" block in weekly meeting agendas to discuss purpose and values, create and track plans, provide training, and reflect on feedback and evaluation. This ensures teams focus on goal setting, effective work processes, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement through regular check-ins and accountability.
This document outlines the basic steps for providing trainings on procedures to members:
1. The training process begins with an orientation where members meet the organization and learn an overview of their sector and job description.
2. Next is the training requirements, which includes induction training and on-the-job training where members can ask questions and receive hands-on experience.
3. Members are then tested on how well they grasped the training materials, often through simulations and practical application on the job.
4. Finally, evaluations are conducted to assess the members' skills and provide feedback on their implementation of procedures, helping to ensure the training process is effective.
The document describes a process involving project managers, attraction responsibilities, considerations, and value delivery. It outlines steps for promoting opportunities, interviewing applicants, assigning new members to teams, and providing needed education. Project managers and talent managers work to recruit new members by placing opportunities, engaging their teams, interviewing applicants, tracking education, and maintaining applicant databases. An opportunity template includes fields for the name, dates, needed and developed skills, job description and hours. Meetings are held to align recruitment needs across teams and talent managers participate in interviews.
Tracking is important for monitoring progress towards goals, evaluating strategies, and providing rewards and recognition. It should be done monthly at reviews and weekly team meetings to track personal and team performance, plans, and results. Tracking tools like Podio and EXPA should contain goals, plans, and projects to quantitatively track KPIs, achievements, timelines, and outputs. Effective tracking requires setting clear expectations and templates for agendas, reports, and reminders to engage team members and coordinate meetings. Regular tracking keeps all accountable and supports evaluating strategies and recognizing contributions.
This document provides tips for motivating members of an organization. It suggests beginning by gathering the team and asking each member what motivates them, as people are motivated by different things. After identifying the top five motivators for the team, the document recommends finding ways to apply them, such as giving more responsibility through challenging projects, providing needed support and resources, ensuring regular achievements and progression, fostering a sense of meaning and purpose in work, and promoting good relationships.
A meeting is a gathering of two or more people with a common goal to take action and achieve it. An effective meeting has clear goals, focuses on actions, and aims for concrete outcomes. There are different types of meetings like team and personal meetings. Team meetings have three stages - before, during, and after the meeting. The most important preparation is the agenda, which includes objectives, topics, descriptions and goals for each topic, and allotted time. During the meeting, the leader should model good attitudes, follow the agenda, and be focused. After the meeting, the leader should send outputs, include priorities and follow ups, and track progress on assigned actions.
The document provides instructions for onboarding new members onto the EXPA platform, including how to invite and assign members to positions, and how to create opportunities for members to participate in programs. It outlines a 6 step process for assigning new members and logging into the system. Administrators can create opportunities for local programs as well as global programs for members.
The document outlines a 6-step process for crisis management:
1. Assess the situation by gathering facts and developing an objective understanding.
2. Engage key stakeholders to involve all parties impacted and gain different perspectives.
3. Plan by creating best, typical, and worst case scenarios and corresponding response plans.
4. Act proactively based on the assessment and planning rather than reactively.
5. Communicate transparently and honestly with all audiences.
6. Overcome instincts to react or do nothing by following the process of assessing, planning, and acting with open communication.

would like to view.
23. Journal, Magazine and Newspaper ArticlesJournal, Magazine and Newspaper Articles
Very often the bulk of the information that you gather on companies, will be derived from
journal, magazine and newspaper articles. This is especially true in the case of privately held
companies, which are generally not required to make any information available in any
standardized way. In most cases, when looking for information on privately held companies,
articles are the best, or only route to take.
Articles are also very important when doing any type of business research, as usually time is of
the essence. The most recent information will take the form of articles, and very often, unless
you’re doing historical research, the information in books will be too old to be useful.
You will come across different types of articles as you do your research. These are:
○Newspaper Articles
○Scholarly Articles (also known as “academic” or “peer reviewed”)
○Trade Publications: Publications devoted to a specific industry
○Magazine Articles: Articles from publications such as BusinessWeek
The types of articles that you use, will be determined by the type and level of information you
need to find.
24. ProQuest simultaneously searches a number of databases. You may elect to search a subset of these databases, or
search all of them at once. For company research, it can be helpful to search all the ProQuest databases together, as
they cover not only company, trade and industry issues, but also issues which affect business such as social
consequences and legal matters. To search all ProQuest databases together, click on continue. To select individual
databases, click on clear all databases, and select the one(s) you want by checking the box(es).
25. You can search ProQuest in a number of ways. The two most popular methods are basic
searches and advanced searches. Basic searches pick up your keywords anywhere in the
article, while advanced searches are limited to selected fields and yield more relevant (but
fewer) results. The default is the basic search, and you may begin by entering your keywords.
To do an advanced search, click on the Advanced tab.
26. When searching for company information using the Advanced feature, limit the drop
down box to Company/org. This will yield search results in which the company is a/the
major focus of the article.
27. ProQuest supplies
suggested searches
based on your original
search. Many times
the suggestions are
good, and you may
want to click on any
that seem relevant and
look at the results.
These are typical
results. Just click on
the full text link to
get the article.
You may want to limit
your results to
scholarly (peer
reviewed) articles, or
to trade journals,
newspapers,
magazines or reports.
Just click on the
appropriate tab!
28. This is a sample of the
results from a search
on Mexico and the
Construction Industry
using the Scholarly
Journal option from
the original result set.
Important: If you
do not see a full
text link, click on
the grey NYU link,
and if full text is
available, you will
be able to access
it.
Note: When
researching
companies, it is very
often useful to get
information on the
industry too, as this
sheds light on
business conditions
and on other
companies within the
industry.
29. After clicking
on the grey
NYU tab on
the first
result, we
get a box
which allows
us to select
the full text
of the article
from two
different
vendors.
Use either
one you
prefer.
Sometimes, we
do not have
electronic full
text, and in that
case you will be
directed to
BobCat to

holdings.
30. EBSCO Business Source Premier
Very similar to ProQuest, but with different publication coverage and some unique features.
Enter your company name, and limit the
drop down box to CO Company
Entity, and hit the search icon.
Notice that you can limit your results to
academic (peer reviewed) journals,
trade publications, newspapers,
industry profiles and SWOT analyses.
These options only appear when they
are available in your search results.
SWOT Analyses: SWOT
stands for “strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats” and are
much sought after by those doing
company research. They sum up
the major problems, successes and
provide insight into what may
happen in the future.
31. In Conclusion
●We have learned that there are numerous places and resources that can be consulted when performing international
company research.
●There are different types of information available on companies, depending upon whether they are publicly or privately held.
Much more information is available for publicly held companies than for privately held companies, especially when looking for
financial information.
●Articles from journals, magazines and newspapers are invaluable for international company information, but indispensible
for privately held companies, since articles may be the only information available about them.
●Investment/Analyst Reports: Available only for publicly held companies, these are great for detailed analysis, trends and
forecasts.
●Company Websites: These are good places to find information, but it is important to remember that company websites are
aimed squarely at investors and consumers, and will seek to put a positive spin on their company and products. You must be
sure to balance this information with that found in independent, unbiased resources such as articles and analyst reports.
Good Luck with your research!
