small business management 1
As you have seen from the 1920’s until now, small businesses have changed drastically from then until now. I want you to explain this change to me in a 5-7 page response answering the following questions at the very minimum. Expansion into other areas is a must to really show what you learned throughout the class. Make sure that you have 4 unique sources for this paper in MLA format.
1. How has small business changed from a consumer standpoint with respect to expectations of small businesses? Address EACH of the following issues in your paper from a CONSUMER point of view! (waiting line, quality control, décor, the way they are marketed, how convenience has influenced receiving items in the store itself or how delivery has been effected)
2. How has the work ethic mentality changed from the older days of business up until today from A WORKER’S point of view? (How has the worker’s attitude changed over the years towards physical work in general?)
3. Provide strategic timeline examples that outline the difference in consumer work ethic from 1920’s, 1960’s, 1980’s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010 years of how things have changed AS A RESULT OF an invention of the time that may have come about to make things easier? (example how did the electronic scanning register effect work ethic in the 80’s) (At least 6 examples! (one for each era of time))
NOTE**How to set it up There should be 6 mini sections here***Infuse how the worker’s mentality and invention has changed attitudes within each progressive era example and how it affected their work ethic. Explain on a theoretical scale how the human mind reacts to these new conveniences in EACH era example.
4. Talk about the concept of millennials and obtaining jobs after college. Is it all well and good or are their problems that need to be assessed? If there are no issues explain WHY. If there are issues explain the issues and how we fix them.
How are small businesses creating lifelines for millennials? (Explain the millennial mentality to the small business)
