For instance, the corporation invested “$100 million into cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike” (Hackett, R. 2015). CrowdStrike is a startup cybersecurity firm that provides next generation endpoint protection platforms for consumers. Another service that the corporation should look at investing in is cloud security. For instance, “42 percent of the small portion of organizations not formally using cloud yet said security issues were the reason” (Companies investing in cloud, security. 2015). It is important for the corporation to invest in cloud security because many businesses are now using a cloud service to back up their confidential documentation in another location. One final consideration for the corporation to look to investing in an Identity and Access Management service (IAM). For instance, “according to research firm MarketsandMarkets, the IAM Market is expected to grow 15.1% over the five years from 2013 to 2018” (Wilson, S. 2014). Many companies such Okta, Microsoft, and IBM offer their own IAM service for consumers to use. It is important for google to look into investing in cyber security as many cyber security industries are continuing to thrive by offering reliable security products and services to protect businesses from security

Green Mountain management made a cautious decision to close its retail locations. Although sales were flat, retail locations can be used as a vehicle for customers to sample Green Mountain coffee. If customers are unfamiliar with the taste of Green Mountain coffee, they will not purchase Green Mountain coffee at supermarkets or other sale locations. Starbucks' success is due to its retail locations. Customers understand the reputation of Starbucks and are familiar to the expensive, social, great tasting coffee. Opening retail locations or advertising and familiarizing customers with the taste of Green Mountain coffee will benefit the supermarket market.

The case starts off with Jack Wright asking John Rock what Mega Corporation’s process was for selecting him to be on the board of directors. John’s answer was the first of many red flags that I will discuss throughout this case. John begins by telling Jack the names of those who are on Mega’s Governance and Nominations Committee. The members are Sam Bigger (chairman), John Rock (CEO), Bill Monday (general counsel), and Sally Moses. The NYSE requires that the committee be composed of independent directors, which means they can’t own shares in the company. On page four of the case, it tells us that Sam owns $15 million, John owns $500 thousand, Bill owns $20 thousand, and Sally owns $15 million. This should be the first answer to Jack’s

Though Yahoo! currently struggles to remain relevant as a result of its inability to change its organizational strategy as time passes and make the necessary changes to improve the company, Yahoo! 's new work initiative should not have been an "all or nothing" proposition. Lewin 's three-stage process of change explains that in order to execute change in an organization, the first step that an organization needs to make is ensure that the employees are prepared for the change. Mayer 's plan to improve the company did not include involving the Yahoo! employees to have an input in the employee initiative that was launched in 2013.
