I started researching it on my own and learned that one of my favorite companies uses vertical integration within their company. Amazon! I order from this company at least twice a week. This just goes to show that vertical management and vertical integration within organizations is truly the go to, to be successful!

This is an example of poor Top and Middle management. Popeyes came out with a new chicken sandwich, which in turn started a battle on social media between Popeyes and Chick-fil-A. Maybe top and middle management could have thought about how social media could affect them before the release. I don't think that was a considering factor when their goals were set and planning, organizing and leading came into affect.

I enjoy knowing that Amazon is such a eco friendly company.

Apple faced a lot of criticism over child labor. Although I personally do not agree with children working, in other countries this is the normal thing that happens. this is how people survive. Its not right but that's just how it is. ]]> 2019-09-08 15:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/parrks3/v4rlzzu5h7v6/wish/381321528 parrks3 https://padlet.com/parrks3/v4rlzzu5h7v6/wish/384333931 In 1969, Quiksilver took $2,000 and made their first wetsuit.

It shows news all around the world on the surfing industry. It also talks about the economic, cultural and political aspects of surfing all around the world. ]]> 2019-09-15 17:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/parrks3/v4rlzzu5h7v6/wish/384333998 parrks3 https://padlet.com/parrks3/v4rlzzu5h7v6/wish/388495512 I was looking up what companies use the SWOT analysis within their companies and of course, my favorite company, AMAZON uses this method! They are such a successful company. I enjoy the fact that every single assignment I have done and I have chosen a certain scenario to write about and then i figure out that Amazon incorporates each one of them.
