Market size and Growth

The perspective size of the market is based on the number of schools that will potentially allow our organization to teach their students. There are only 13 states in which financial education is required or offered which leaves us with a large potential to spread financial education to 37 other states as well as better cater to the school systems who already have a finance program. This is our key to market growth and ultimately market potential. Since the fall 2001 68.5 million people were enrolled in school the potential for growth is rather larger. Since our company focuses primarily on teens and finance it is our specialty, our primary and only target market, where as for other companies it is a secondary market.

Race is one of the problems in the American workplace, for some time whites male has dominated the workforce for generations, but things has changed since so many different nationalities of other ethnic groups are now living in American that this work domination of white males can longer exist in its present controlling state.

The ability to build bridges between people from different countries, with different ethnic backgrounds, is as important as any other business function. Working in a culturally and ethnically diverse organization does not mean elimination differences in style and approach, but celebrating those differences and tapping into the much strength diversity brings to and organization. Angeles Arrien goes on to say that The Bureau of Vocational Guidance at Harvard, found that at least two-thirds of the people that lose their jobs do not do so because they cannot do the work, but because of their inability to deal effectively with people.

  • What Are The Similarities Between A Separate Peace And A Separate Peace

    750 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the novels A Separate Peace and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time there are a number of themes. The books have so many similarities in them. All of the characters love and help each other get through things that are tough in their life. One of the problems that all of the characters face is being lost. This isn’t one of the themes that I chose, but I think it puts them together nicely. Most of the characters want to be put back on the right path in the story. By the end of the novels, they all achieved this goal. The three things that helped them do that were the friendships and sheltering that they had and the forgiveness they gave and received.

    From past, present, to future, conflict has defined history. In a world full of battles, revolutions, and seemingly random acts of evil, it is impossible to escape the reality of it all. Many of today’s great classics have been inspired by generations of conflict. Using World War II as the background for John Knowles’ novel A Separate Peace brings up the question if it is ever possible to live in a world without fear, hate and ultimately inevitable conflict. Knowles uses contrasting characters, the innate nature of humans, and contradictory symbols in order to reflect that conflict is inevitable.

  • What Is The Little Pearl's Character In The Scarlet Letter By Nathaniel Hawthorne

    817 Words  | 2 Pages

    Little Pearl is born out of sin to an adulteress named Hester Prynne. The townspeople see her as a “demon offspring” (Hawthorne, 1994, p. 68). Her role in the story not only symbolizes Hester’s sin (the scarlet letter does that), but also sin itself. The reader watches her grow up from the time she is a baby to around age seven, and, after that, hears little of her except for the rumors that make it across the ocean into the New World. Pearl is a symbol of sin. While this statement is correct, it is also a small part of how her character can be seen. Once one really dissects and analyzes how she fits into The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, he will see that she is not actually static. Her character changes in such a way that

    Traditionally, diversity refers to an assortment of races, ethnicities, genders, ages, disabilities and perhaps sexual orientations. A definition of diversity, however, should not be constrained by traditional categories such as these. Such a definition should also include categories such as religion, educational level, life experience, geographic location, socio-economic background, marital status and work experience.

    Schein in his book “Organizational Culture and Leadership” explains how different believes and behaviors start to be logical when we understand their cultures by stating “When we learn to see the world through cultural lenses, all kinds of things begin to make sense that initially were mysterious, frustrating, or seemingly stupid” (2010, p. 13). This kind of foresight should be the starting point in order to manage the tremendously growing diversity in the workforce nowadays. Leaders and administrators of both public and private organizations through their influence are responsible to promote and manage diversity in an ethical manner.

  • My Personality Tests In The Enneagram Test

    1529 Words  | 4 Pages

    The results from my personal learning test did not surprise me due to the knowledge I have of myself and the ways I learn. When looking at the preference between learning styles, my personal choice would have to be active learning because I understand material and remember aspects of the content better when doing an activity. Reflective learning is not for me because I like to collaborate ideas with other classmates and create one common idea of what is happening. Although I do like to do most activities in a group, there are time in my academic career where reflective learning is what I preferred to do since I wanted to work alone and get the work done how I wanted it. Now that I have developed an active learning personality, my knowledge of myself and other people have grown. After I took the online test, my results stated that my preference for active learning matched my learning style very well. Active learning received my highest score which showed that I am an active learner which I already knew. As I have come to realization, college does not always benefit the active learning personality. One thing that Richard M. Felder states in his paper Learning Styles and Strategies, “study in a group in which the members take turns explaining different topics to each other then work with others to guess what you will be asked on the next test and figure out how you will answer the questions.” (Felder). With this tip, I can utilize my active learning style and get the same amount of work and studying done while benefitting my preference for
