Olympics Survey Analysis

It seemed that most people enjoyed the Olympics, and they would go to the Olympics if it came to Boston. However, there was an evenly spread mix of people as or whether or not they wanted the Olympics to come to Boston. Most people were concerned about the safety, and thought there were negatives and positives. In general, they thought it would be successful.

Apprentice Overview

1. The tasks assigned to Protege and Versacorp  were good tests of leadership because they tested the ability to think quickly and deal with different challenges. For example, the flea market tested their ability to figure out what was best to sell and they had to figure out how to sell.
2. I wouldn't make a good candidate in five years because I would need to receive an education beforehand in order to succeed, and after college, I would need more experience.
3. The task would be to buy a used car and sell it for the highest profit with only $10,000 in funds. The reward could be a trip to a private beach house.
4. I'd run the golf course due to the fact that California has nicer weather, and I have no clue about anything to due with building construction.
5. Kwame was ethical because he never, and he was just signing basketballs as a regular guy.
6. I would recommend future intro to business classes to watch The Apprentice because it is entertaining, and it provides lessons about business.

Giving Tuesday

Volunteer New York came up with a unique idea for Giving Tuesday. There goal is to get everybody to perform charity work, so they are trying to get people who couldn't donate at least $50 to charity to pledge at least two hours for 2015. This is an easy way to get people involved in volunteering as it does not require to much commitment in their part.

Holiday Shopping Season

I view Cyber Monday and Black Friday as good things, because they allow people to save money on their holiday shopping which could potentially very expensive. However, I don't think that any shopping should open up until Friday because people should not be forced to work on Thanksgiving. If the stores are closed on Thanksgiving, I have no problem with the season being extended because the stores make money, and people don't have to spend as much money. The sales are good for all parties involved.

Apple Human Resources

Apple has off-the-job training for people who would like to become Apple Certified Trainers. People that work in the retail stores are paid hourly wages..

One job that seems interesting is a campus rep. They don't work many hours, but they are flexible. They go to campuses and spread Apple's message.

Five Companies

1. Dave and Buster's
2. Yelp
3. Lululemon
4.Yahoo
5. Apple
Apple seems to be the best investment because their phones and products are purchased yearly.
