One reason I believe the executives should not be so optimistic about the future of Creamy Creations is that many of their customers were getting their orders “to go.” I believe that is partly because of the focus mostly on efficiency instead of the friendliness that was employed by the previous owner. I also believe that taking away some of the more exotic toppings will drive some customers away because they will not be able to make their ice cream the way that they might like to. A future pitfall for the Burger Barn executives could be the amount of turnover with their employees. If turnover remains high, they could earn a bad reputation, and possible employees may be driven away due to long-term security concerns. The Burger Barn executives …show more content…
With the high rate of turnover, we would need to find a way to lower that and make sure the employees are feeling like they are valuable members of the business. I predict that I would find out that the employees don’t feel that they are treated well enough and getting rewarded for their liking. I think that they feel undervalued and disrespected and that causes the high turnover. I would recommend to the executives that they sit down and meet with their employees and figure out ways to better the relationship between management and the …show more content…
They should try to hire Maria to a long term-contract, but with the same guidelines they would use when hiring any other teacher to a long-term contract. The school board needs to create a sense of unity between themselves and the teachers and create an environment that all teachers are of equal value. They should recommend that the school board come up with an outline for salary, benefits and expectations, that they can use for newly hired teachers. The school board should also create ways to unify the staff of the school. Unifying the staff could show students that ethnicity doesn’t matter and allow them to talk through problems with any teacher no matter their
The next problem is poor morale. Morale is the job satisfaction, outlook, and feelings of an employee. Right now, employees do not feel secure within the business and are rebelling against it. They do not have a positive outlook for the future of the business and feel betrayed because of all of the people getting let go. The employees right now have a poor morale due to all these factors.

The case of Burger King Corporation v. Rudzewicz, 471 U.S. 462, 105 S. Ct. 2174, 85 L. Ed. 2d 528 (1985) addressed the issue of personal jurisdiction and whether or not it violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The plaintiff, Burger King, is a Florida corporation whose principal offices are located in Miami. The defendant, John Rudzewicz, was a resident of Michigan and a principal of a Michigan franchise. Rudzewicz, as a franchisee owner, had been given a license to use Burger King’s name and logo (trademarks) to operate a Burger King in Michigan. The contract between the franchisor and franchisee stated that the franchisor relationship (contract) is under the control of Florida. Other provisions of the contract include required monthly payments of fees and royalties to Miami headquarters, and all major decisions and problems had to be communicated with headquarters. In addition, the franchisee had to conduct business at a leased restaurant facility for 20 years. However, the defendant failed to fulfill franchisee obligations by not keeping up with his monthly payments of fees and royalties that he owed to Burger King in Florida. As a result, Burger King sued for a diversity suit against Rudzewicz in an effort to get back the money that they were owed. Burger King claimed a breach of contract, specifically the “Franchise Agreement”, between Burger King (the franchisor) and Rudzewicz (the franchisee). The case eventually made it all the way to the United States Supreme Court (Case Briefs).

The early days of Uris Hall’s dormitory kitchen were characterized by excellent food and a content, tight-knit staff. The employees’ feelings of satisfaction and utmost commitment to their jobs are best explained using Herzberg’s Motivator-Hygiene Model. This motivation theory relies on the assumption that satisfaction and dissatisfaction in the workplace are independent of each other, and a different set of factors is responsible for causing each emotion. One motivating factor is the employees’ sense of achievement in their work. The case stresses that the eleven women who worked in the kitchen felt a consistent sense of pride in their labor; they went to great lengths to ensure superior quality
The main problem the company is facing nowadays is the high turnover ratio closed to an average of 30% on the past three years. The fact that the company is based in an area where many of its closest competitors have offices facilitates employee’s movements from one job to another. This high turnover is mainly affecting positions among the electrical engineers in the R&D department.
Employee satisfaction, employee turnover, and workplace environment are inseparably linked. Workplace environments heavily influence employee satisfaction, which directly affects employee turnover rates. When employees feel they are not being supported within their first months of hire, they will inevitably leave the company. Employees want to have the security that if they need assistance, someone will be there to guide them. Therefore, it is imperative for organizations to develop a thorough onboarding program and a long-term retention plan.

Buddy’s, a sub outlet, serves classic comfort food with a healthy twist to the people of Charlotte, North Carolina. Buddy’s menu embraces a variety of food from signature subs, hot dogs, sliders, soups and salads. Buddy’s unconventional cuisine developed as a result of a grow-ing diverse population in Charlotte, North Carolina. Buddy’s has chosen the Charlotte area as its primary location because it consists of both families and young professionals relocating to this city due to the growing job market, low cost of living and the ever changing comforts of southern climate. Buddy’s is one of the fastest growing franchises in Charlotte, North Carolina after only being in existence since 2015. Buddy’s has three unique locations strategically placed in the fastest growing communities in the Charlotte area: NODA, “the artsy district, University City, “the college town,” and South end, “the young professionals’ center”.

McDonald’s has been one of the biggest fast food chain corporations that has worldwide share in the food market. The company’s appeals were fast service, menu varieties, and affordability, which capture majority of customers’ psychological needs. Furthermore, McDonald successfully builds a relationship with consumer by promoting donation campaigns and vitally involving in societal activities. In recent years, McDonald’s sales decline is affected by food scandals causing public mistrust of its food ingredients, which deviates consumers from fast, cheap and convenient food.
The ice cream market as a whole has been rather stagnant in past years due to lack in innovation. However, I will be specifically focusing on the ‘Ice Cream and Gelato Franchises’ industry. This industry is defined as firms that primarily serve ice cream or gelato to be consumed either on or off premises. Major players of this industry are Dairy Queen, Cold Stone Creamery, and Baskin Robbins. From 2011-2016 the growth rate was 3.2%, 2016-2021 is expected to be 0.9%. While 3.2% is a substantial growth rate, the expected 0.9% is very different. The slow growth rate in future years may be due to the fact that “health conscious American’s have been moving away from ice cream and gelato treats, which has negatively impacted the industry.” (Curran) With consumers seeking healthier options many are turning to plant-based ice creams. Planet-based ice cream is becoming a market of its own rather than a fringe market of the ice cream industry. It is estimated that by 2017 this new market will be worth $2.45 billion. ("Global Plant-based Ice-creams Market Poised to Reach US$ 2.45 Bn Value by 2027-end" 2017) While many traditional ice
