Item Capstone project(2010)This case study is to suggest the implementation of a content management system combined with a knowledge software system that enables all constituents to pull down whatever information they need to complete their task. It will also build institutional knowledge for corporate learning regardless of who is leading or managing the investment office. (Without such systems in place, dysfunctionality and inefficiencies can occur. For example, five years ago many of the Stanford Management Company's key employees departed to start their own management company. And, the institutional knowledge of the endowment investments went out the door with them.)Item Capstone project(2012)For this essay, I have chosen to focus on Citigroup Inc., a diversified financial services holdings company with worldwide operations. In specific, the issue I want to focus on is executive compensation at Citigroup, Inc. Recent developments at Citigroup, with respect to the compensation package offered to its CEO Vikram Pandit, have re-opened the debate about excessive executive compensation and the commitment of many large corporations to equality and social responsibility. This essay attempts to study the history of executive compensation, the extent of regulation that the US Government maintains over its corporate citizens, and the reason why executive compensation and corporate social responsibility is a sensitive issue during a stagnant economic period.Item Capstone project(2010)In order to bring the value of Whole Foods Market Inc. to more customers and increase market share while surviving the economic downturn, a three phase plan is needed. As many plans, this will take place in phases carefully spaced out and planned so that consumers are comfortable with all three phases as well as allowing all other stakeholders to be in line with the overall vision of the plan. If at any time of the phase implementation the values of providing the best quality product to consumers are compromised, the next phase will be suspended to allow the current phase to be properly adjusted. While no plan is perfect, this plan allows a gradual increase in market share while being a positive influence on the America population to aide in assisting everyone who can benefit from a healthy diet.Item Capstone project(2013)I intend to start a business to run a Laundromat in an urban area, with an area of high-density apartment buildings, houses and college housing facilities. Because I am aiming at a multipurpose Laundromat, I am going to have the equipment needed for big items that need to be washed and dried. I am also going to provide a service at selected hours of business where my customers will be able to leave their clothes to be washed and folded, paying by the pound, items would be returned in the same container in which they were received. I will also have basic coffee and WIFI services. I am going to have a laundry mat where I am going to finance the equipment; I am going to finance the equipment going through a company reminiscent of GE. I am going to get a loan from a business similar to "Youth Business America" for the non-equipment items to pay for some of the things that I have to pay immediately. I am going to contract the repairs and I am going to insure the equipment.Item Capstone project(2009)Near the end of completing the 'Socially Responsible" MBA curriculum, as presented by JFKU, my consciousness had undoubtedly expanded enough to watch for purposeful opportunities. In the spring of 2009 an opportunity emerged, putting me in a position to assist on a greater level. Setting the process in motion was initiated by making personal decisions to act on the new socially responsible and sustainable awareness obtained during the course work. This lead to a golden opportunity to collaborate with others whom innovatively problem solve, are aligned with a worthwhile vision, and have come up with a sustainable and socially responsible solution to assist in insuring the supply of fresh drinking water. On the most fundamental level it was personal development, strategically managing my own life with systemic management application and influence that led to crossing paths with Karyn Evens and the development of a case study of Energy Recovery Inc. an organization who is socially centered, and people centered allowing collaborative work efforts to generate profit with a triple bottom line perspective.
