Post Civil War Expansion
The American expansion from the post-Civil War years to the turn of the 20th century was a form of imperialism. Essentially, the U.S. simply took over a number of areas and groups of people, without any real regard for them or true need for the land. It was not an expansion that was agreed-upon and equal, but rather something that required one group of people to come in and take what belonged to someone else, for their own material gain. One of the main examples of this was the Native American policy, as the settlers who come to the United States took over more land and pushed the Native Americans onto reservations where they had little space and no room to expand. All they had and worked for was essentially taken from them, not because it was really needed, but because the people who came to America….

Global Economy & Factors Affecting Harley-Davidson (HD)
Motivations for expansion are primarily business and economics related. Expansion will open new markets for HD. Considering that HD is already an established global brand, entering new markets and an overall expansion process should benefit from the necessary supporting structure and stature to ensure reduced risks.

There are other motivating elements as well. As the analysis shows, HD is a recognized leader on the market. Companies look to HD as an element of leadership for the future in an industry that is often subjected to negative lobby from environmental organizations, among others. So, the motivation for expansion is also to consolidate this leadership statute and ensure that the HD brand is promoted worldwide as one based on values and firm beliefs.

As any expansion process, this one is also likely to have risks. The first to be considered are operational risks. These operational risks can be….

They focus on a handful of core geographic regions, so they are able to announce upcoming openings by announcing them first to existing customers in other parts of the same general region. The cost of this part of the program is low since you are providing the advertising space on premises. Only printing costs are incurred, so a few thousand dollars at most. The effectiveness will be in part determined by the proximity of the new location to the existing one.
Another element of pre-promotion is at the site of the new location. While this is under development, the opportunity should be taken to plaster the site with signage announcing your imminent arrival. In my neighborhood, a new coffee shop and steakhouse are opening soon and both have made sure to have large, visible signs in their windows to alert passersby. As the brand's reputation grows, this strategy increases in….

ise of the Papacy: An Examination
With the collapse of the oman Empire, the bishop of ome did indeed grow in more power and prestige through the 6th and 9th centuries, creating a new way of life with new expectations. No one really expected the papacy to grow in power and prestige as rapidly as it did, however. This paper will look at the factors which led to its dominance in both Western Europe until the eformation while examining both the positive and negative ramifications of this new regime.

If one were to examine ome by the end of the fifth century, it would look like a city which contained a range of small barbarian kingdoms which were competing for the ability to rule, the once-great oman empire. Two of the main barbarian groups were the Ostogoths who were displaced from the north of the Black sea, and the Lombards, who….

Essentially, Foerster understood the complicated nature of human services and presented a model for policy change that would be able to balance all of the unique elements of each department.
There were also elements of the Cobb and Elder Model which could be identified in the case study. Here, Cobb and Elder believe that policy makers must take on a greater level of responsibility. Major stakeholders, like popular politicians must support issues in order to gain agenda-setting status. As such, it is clear that Commissioner Tom Foerster's support was crucial in getting the policy changes needed to better serve the community of Allegheny County. His support helped set the need for an agenda to be made, and he took it on as his responsibility to see the policy process from the design stages to implementation and then finally to success. He was greatly influenced by the environment of the Great….

Drotos Electronics Expansion Proposal
Drotos Electronics is one the largest electronics companies in the United States and in Germany. Currently, plans are being considered for expanding manufacturing capacities to Mexico. However, this expansion has facilitated expression of many concerns regarding this potential move. Concerns include the possibility that this expansion will allow an opportunity for increasing the power of drug cartels, environmental concerns, jobs that promote low pay and poor working conditions, and political concerns over opposition to expansion beyond the United States. This research will address those concerns and explore further how they will affect the current expansion proposal.

Drug Cartel Power

Author and filmmaker Natalia Almada, provided one of the most realistic portrayals of the power of the Mexican drug cartels and their ability to rule by fear. Almada provided perhaps one of the most graphic accounts of the violence utilized by Mexican drug cartels to gain power (Heckler, 2012). According….

As long as the company does not have more than 10 Japanese employees, there is no requirement to submit employment regulations or obtain business insurance. This filing simply informs the bureau that you will be hiring Japanese workers for the business and that the workers will not be expected to work more than 40 hours per week.
Future Projections

As Modest Middles continue to grow in the country and more retailers are carrying the product, it may be beneficial to determine whether manufacturing within the company or licensing the manufacture of the products to another company within the country is a plausible step. This option will be re-evaluated at a later time.

Online Business Expansion Plan: Hot Dragon
Viability of Product or Service

Hot Dragon is a company that provides spicy mustard and hot sauces of various types. The company is going to start offering its hot sauces and spicy mustard online, so it can be directly shipped to customers. That will be more convenient for those customers, since they will not need to be concerned with heading out to a store to buy the products. Instead, all they will need to do is place an order online, and the products will show up at their door. That will also be helpful to the company, because it will not need to have a storefront and pay the overhead that comes with that. The viability of a storefront for a small company is often not realistic, but there is certainly no reason why the company cannot have a web presence (Allison & Kaye, 2005; Tracy,….

Federal Government Expansion
Throughout American history the size and power of the federal government has been continually debated. This is because there are concerns that if it becomes too big it could have an impact on the scope of authority reserved for the states and stifle civil liberties. However, despite these worries the federal government has continued to expand its power. To fully understand what is happening requires focusing on four events from the Civil War to the Civil ights era that highlight these changes. This will be accomplished by focusing on how these developments affected the political, social and economic landscape. Together, these elements will illustrate the way these transformations occurred during this time frame.

The Fourteenth Amendment

The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1868. This basically negated the Supreme Court's Dred Scott v. Stanford decision in 1857. As they stated that African-Americans are not U.S. citizens and….

Philadelphia Airport Expansion Plan
Over the last several years, a variety of U.S. airports have been experiencing tremendous amounts of congestion. Part of the reason for this, is because many locations are built in areas that have seen rapid increases in the number of homes and businesses around facility. While at the same time, the total amounts of passenger and cargo traffic have risen exponentially. Over the course of time, this has caused the amount of safety incidents to increase dramatically. Evidence of this can be seen with a study that was conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). They found that between 1995 and 2006, the total number of runway mishaps rose by 37%. This is because many airports are often congested and unable to handle the tremendous amounts of traffic. Once this happens, it means that the chances of particular facility seeing some kind of incident will increase significantly.….

Territorial Expansion
How did the U.S. acquire the territory in question?

On the auspicious date of April 30, 1803, the United States of America bought eight hundred and twenty eight thousand square miles worth of land from the French government of Napoleon onaparte. Thomas Jefferson, the President of America, wanted to secure this deal.

Wars were rampaging overseas in the continent of Europe and Napoleon had intentions to safeguard what he had acquired there. The area was a vast stretch of land extending from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains. Spain had ceded Louisiana to France and this did not have positive implications for the young American government. The diplomatic world was discussing the accession as early as 1802. The clauses of the Treaty of San Ildefonso were not shared and this escalated concerns, primarily in the Jefferson regime. The United States of America depended on the port of New Orleans and….

Business Expansion
A business that has been doing well in its current location may decide to taste new waters in an attempt to grow. This can be through establishment of the same business in a different region in a country or even expand to a global scale. Such a decision is made when the business owner who has been successful in a sole proprietorship wants to try out new areas with the hope that the business will still do well in this new regions.

The business will therefore need to make several changes in terms of the new business form that it will undertake in its expansion. The business has to consider employing new workers and even having a new way of thinking in terms of the initial business plan. The business leadership will have a task to come up with a new business plan on how the business will be expanded.

Implementation

Lessons from Acxiom

Expanding service offerings can be a daunting undertaking. It requires meticulous planning, particularly considering the organisation's current situation and its desired projections. This paper provides a plan for integrating new additional services into Smith's organisation. Attention is specifically paid to the steps the organisation can follow to seamlessly add new services, showing the appropriate transition path from its present state to its desired future state.

Implementing Service Expansion

Service expansion can be achieved by following three broad steps: 1) evaluation of the current situation; 2) defining the desired future state; 3) and implementation. The following section looks at each step individually.

Step 1: Evaluation of the Current Situation

The first step is the most crucial one. It involves the assessment of both the internal and external environment. The internal environment specifically relates to the strengths and weaknesses of….

By offshoring tasks, companies can also focus on their core business, allowing them to grow more rapidly, increase organizational value, and complexity. In an increasingly competitive world, these benefits can mean the difference between success and failure.
Conclusion:

Globalisation and international expansion are two driving forces in organizational change, in today's world and likely will continue to be of increasing importance as the world becomes more competitive. As such, corporate strategies must be put into place that will effectively utilize the opportunities that arise from these forces, as well as safeguard against emerging threats. Increasing competition from foreign competitors is one of these threats, while international expansion offers great opportunities. Product diversification is also a corporate strategy that must be undertaken to meet the needs of consumers in different geographic regions. In addition, to remain competitive, corporate strategy can use outsourcing, as a byproduct of increased globalisation..

These decisions of business model structure are predicated in part on the cultural variations of the foreign country to an organizations' home nation as well. Cultural variations between regions also lead more to distrust than trust and this is especially true when work is accelerated, assuming no cultural differences exist (Yeung, Selen, Zhang, Huo, 2009). While globalization is often seen as flattening the world from a common set of business processes, cultural variations, and within these cultural differences, deeply held religious values in Muslim nations for example, are far from as homogenous as the flat world mentality would have one believe. Instead there are significant gaps culturally that are actually catalysts of greater, albeit more attuned and focused, efforts at strategic growth globally.
Manufacturing

The misconception that manufacturing is outsourced purely for cost reduction can be seen in the many uses and roles of factories within global manufacturing networks (Fedrows, 2006).….
