Survey Blog Post

Shannon Flannery

1. I received 10 responses
2. my demographic question was what gender are you. The results were 50% male and 50% female
3. Some conclusions I can make based on my results is that most people do want Boston to hold the Olympics in 2024. For example 70% of the responses said that holding the Olympics in Boston would overall be good for Boston.
4. Most of the responses were similar when I separated them by group. it seemed as though everyone had their own opinion, not based on if they were male or female.
5. One question that was very helpful while looking at my results was question number 4, how do you feel about Boston holding the Olympics in 2024? This question was helpful because it helped me understand what people thought about the Olympics being in Boston
6. Yes I think I did got reliable information from my survey because I feel as though I asked questions that they had to answer thoroughly.
7. The purpose of my survey was to see how many people liked the idea of Boston holding the Olympics.
8. I think I could have written a new question for number 5, have you even been to the Olympics. I think this because it is pretty obvious that most likely no one in our class has gone to the Olympics.
9. No, I was unsure of the results I was going to receive because I know that my family members had very diverse opinions on it.

Apprentice Overview

1. Yes, I believe that the tasks assigned to Protege and VersaCorp were an overall good test of leadership because they were in charge of an event and they would either be the reason the event was a success or the reason the event was a failure.

2. I think I would make a good candidate in five years because now that I have learned a lot about business I feel like I would have the skills I would need in order to become The Apprentice.

3. My Task would be to have a Yard Sale with high priced items and the teams job would be to see who can make the best profit. The winning teams award would be that they get to evenly divide the money they made off of the Yard Sale.

4. I would choose the Golf Course in California because it is seen to be one of the most beautiful golf courses in the world and because I would enjoy working in an outdoor facility rather than an indoor facility.

5. I do not agree with Kwame's tactics, I believe it was unethical for him to do that. I believe this because I believe it is not right to sign a ball, sell it, and then have the person you sold it to believe it was signed by a possible famous person. Doing this would also give the person you sold it to false hope because they maybe would try to sell it and it would be worth absolutely nothing because kwame is not famous and should not be signing basketballs.

6. Yes, I believe future classes of Intro to Business should watch The Apprentice because it shows valuable lessons and tactics that real business people use, in creative ways. I learned a lot from watching The Apprentice this year.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday

Shannon Flannery

I believe that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are good for the public. I believe this because there are great deals that some people normally can’t afford that can afford on one of these days. I also believe Black Friday and Cyber Monday are good for the public because a lot of people participate in them. Therefore the company that is most likely offering the best deals will make a profit. Shopping on thanksgiving I feel is optional, I personally don't because its thanksgiving but some people do. Shopping at midnight I feel is exciting and you always feel like you will get the best deals first. However there are so many people that wait outside the doors for the store to open which causes chaos.

1. JCPenneys primary website is http://www.jcpenney.com/index.jsp?cm_mmc=google%20brand-_-g_jcp_official_site-_-g_jcpenney_exact-_-jcpenney&gclid=CjwKEAiAnLGjBRCk_I-y_4iAmB0SJADGjWWz0LG80aSXqf06o5bE-ROBq1fyxSsBF2wLJwixiFlyoBoClnDw_wcB&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=paid%20search&cvosrc=ppc.google.jcpenney&matchtype=e&cskid=336057221

2. JCPenney is committed to build their proud legacy of responsible corporate citizenship by advancing social, environmental, and ethical standards across their operations. everything they do they are thinking about their impact on the global supply chain to the environmental impact on their stores

3. Two definitions from chapter 8 relates to the information i found on JCPennys website because JCPenney is a human resource management. Also while browsing the website i found that JCPenney has a job description for each job that is available.

4. One of the career opportunities available at JCPenney is a commissioned sales associate (furniture). This job requires you to know all about the merchandise inside and out, can help customers grow their knowledge about the product.

5. One job at JCPenney that interests me is the commissioned window covering sales associate. This interests me because I get to show what I know to the customers and I would love teaching customers new things about the products.

5 Companies

Companies:

kellogg company

lululemon

Dave and Busters

McDonalds

jcpenny

I think the best company to invest in would be jcpenny because it has a low current price, I wouldn't loose that much if it goes down. I will probably invest in this company.
