No matter how courageous he was, Columbus was only human and therefore had to have been afraid. Likewise, I questioned myself when I first made the decision to transfer.
Like Columbus, I thrive on healthy risk-taking and the excitement of new situations and surroundings. I enjoyed moving, in spite of my fear of new circumstances. There are several reasons why I enjoy the high level of stimulation of change. First, I have learned how adaptable I am, how welcoming I am to the changes that inevitably follow human beings around. The people who cling to stability are more likely to be shaken up by radical changes than those who have weathered a few twists and turns on their own. Second, I have learned that I am an independent and forward thinker. While not impulsive, I make decisions based on my needs, goals, and desires rather than on what others think. Third, I love meeting...

Risk Management in Family Owned Businesses A family business can be simply described as "any business in which a majority of the ownership or control lies within a family, and in which two or more family members are directly involved" (Bowman-Upton, 1991). In other words, it is a multifaceted, twofold structure consisting of the family and the business meaning that the involved members are both the part of a job system
They were just so intense, so focused, so transaction-driven, there literally wasn't time for people to put ideas out and discuss and debate them." These constraints to effective management oversight and innovation were further exacerbated when the company went private in 2001. According to Stopper, "ARAMARK went from a leveraged buyout situation in 1984, with only some 50 people having equity in the company, to an initial public offering (IPO)
Business in Czech Republic Doing business in a foreign country is never easy. It is not so much about the tax regulations, import/export duties or getting a license. The main challenges accrue from the differences in cultural values and social or religious beliefs.
