Recommended: Internal factors affecting business

The term “big business” attracts a wild frenzy of bad connotation that leads us to believe that the leaders in the business world are innately a bunch of no good, greedy, old men in black suits. The corporate world is cutthroat and if you want to survive in it, you will spend your days walking on thin ice, because any mistake you make can affect everyone below you. The business being analyzed in this paper is going to be Regal Entertainment Group. The exploration of the stakeholder models, internal and external factors will be discussed throughout the course of this paper.

Primarily, being one of the largest movie theater chains in the US, Regal Entertainment operated 6,768 movie screens in five hundred forty eight theaters in thirty-nine states and the District of Columbia. It had over 244 million attendees, and has theaters in all of the top 30 U.S. designated market areas. Regal Cinemas was established in 1989 in Knoxville, Tennessee, with Mike Campbell as its CEO. Regal then began growing at a rapid pace, opening bigger cinemas in suburban areas. Regal Cinemas embarked on an aggressive expansion throughout the decade, swallowing up smaller chains as well as building new, more modern multiplexes. Its largest acquisition during this original period was the 1998 combination of it and Act III Cinemas, although it had acquired some smaller chains as well in the mid-1990s, including the original Cobb Theatres, RC Theatres, and Cleveland-based National Theatre Corp. By 2001, Regal was overextended like many other cinema chains, and went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Chapter 11 bankruptcies are available to every business, although it is most prominently used by corporate entities, and allows for reorganization. The Regal Foundation ...

...ctions and concessions manager a long with a general and first assistant manager. I have learned from this assignment that there is so much that goes into the creation and success of a major corporation. I would consider the corporate aspect of this job a career, but the lower end of this job as more of an experience-building job due to the work ethic required to be successful as a cast member and manager. Regal Entertainment Group is able to compensate for declining movie attendance by increasing their ticket prices, which ahs proved successful thus far. This corporation employs millions, and it is a good business.

    I did some research on the Altria Group, Inc. and found that they are using a growth strategy known as conglomerate diversification. What this means is that the industry they are currently in is unrelated to the industry they have entered, through diversification. With this strategy, managers are more concerned with financial concerns such as cash flows. This is usually due to a company's current industry achieving maximum growth and has to enter into other industries to gain more opportunities for future growth. Altria is a parenting company who parents Kraft Foods, Philip Morris International, Philip Morris USA, and Philip Morris Capital Corporation (Altria, 2008). What products they produce are tobacco, packaged food, beverages, and financial services. The USA and Europe are their primary producers.

The front end of the company is divided into three geographic areas. Carl Greystone, Executive Vice President of US Customer Operations, manages the largest of the geographic areas (Dynacorp Revisited, 2005: M-2, 86-87).

    Over this course of this semester, I have learned a tremendous amount of information about myself from the self-exploration series. The results of my PGI (Personal Globe Inventory) presented me with a couple of different career paths to explore. The first type of career that was brought up to my attention was an enterprising career. There were a number of enterprising careers, but the one that interested me the most was business management. I decided to choose the business management because I am majoring in Sustainability and my focus is in Economics. I think business management would be an excellent fit for myself because I have actually done some research prior to this class about management. I would like to someday own an ice rink, and I think that becoming a manager would be a great stepping-stone towards reaching my goal. The requirements for becoming a business manager vary from university to university, but the overall direction of the major revo...

  • Stakeholders in Airport Decision Making

    Stakeholders are those groups or individual in society that have a direct interest in the performance and activities of business. The main stakeholders are employees, shareholders, customers, suppliers, financiers and the local community. Stakeholders may not hold any formal authority over the organization, but theorists such as Professor Charles Handy believe that a firm’s best long-term interests are served by paying close attention to the needs of each of these stakeholders. The modern view is that a firm has responsibilities to all its stakeholders i.e. everyone with a legitimate interest in the company. These include shareholders, competitors, government, employees, directors, distributors, customers, sub-contractors, pressure groups and local community. Although a company’s directors owes a legal duty to the shareholders, they also have moral responsibilities to other stakeholder group’s objectives in their entirely. As a firm can’t meet all stakeholders’ objectives in their entirety, they have to compromise. A company should try to serve the needs of these groups or individuals, but whilst some needs are common, other needs conflict. By the development of this second runway, the public and stakeholders are affected in one or other way and it can be positive and negative.

  • Corporate Social Responsibility

    1916 Words  | 4 Pages

    Business organizations regularly run into demands from various stakeholders groups when conducting day-to-day business. These demands are generated from employees, customers, suppliers, community groups, governments, and shareholders. Thus, according to Goodpaster, any person or group of people that can shape or can be shaped by attainment of the objectives by an organization is considered a stakeholder. Most business organizations recognize and understand their responsibilities to these groups and endeavor to honor and fulfill them. These responsibilities are often communicated to the public by a statement of principles or beliefs. For many business organizations, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an essential and integral part of their business. Thus, this paper discusses the two CSR views: the classical view and the stakeholder view. Furthermore, I believe that the stakeholder view has brought ethical concerns to the forefront of businesses, and an argument shall be made that businesses would improve both socially and economically if CSR, guided by God’s love, was integrated into their strategic planning.
