Look at your team paper from week 3. Management has recognized the effect of changes in the real-world competitive environment and government policies on other industries and anticipates similar events occurring in their industry, so they ask you for a report considering the following points.
Write 1,400 -1,750-word paper and a 10 - 15 slide power point presentation in which you describe how each of the following will affect your industry or one with which you are familiar: Your team will present its findings in class.
• New companies, such as Borsha Coffee, are using network marketing to sell its caffeinated lemonade drink over the Internet, thereby avoiding fixed costs of brick and mortar establishments like yours. How might such competitors impact you (just as Amazon impacted Borders Books?)
• Identify the type of merger activity in your industry. Why is it happening, and does it pose a threat to your franchise company?
• Current and expected government policies and regulations, including higher taxes and regulations under the Affordable Health care act can impact the firm's bottom line. Should your firm provide health care for all employees? Should it not provide health care and simply pay the fine? Or should your firm make sure that it has fewer than 50 employees, and if necessary, convert some employees to LLCs and enter into business to business contractual arrangements?
• There has been a recent call on companies in your industry to allow employees to unionize. What would be the cost impacts of this to your franchise firm?
Recommend how the franchise company might respond to each of the previous points. Make a presentation the last night of class.
Answer includes a paper and power point presentation.
