What is Success?

Success as an academic topic appears across business, management, organizational psychology, and humanities courses. It invites rigorous examination because success is not a fixed outcome but a condition shaped by strategy, structure, human behavior, and external circumstance. Students are asked to analyze what makes individuals, companies, and initiatives succeed or fail, drawing on frameworks from strategic management, industrial-organizational psychology, and business case analysis. The topic demands that writers move beyond common assumptions and identify the specific factors and processes that produce measurable outcomes in organizational and professional contexts.

The papers collected here approach success from several distinct angles. Case studies of companies such as Costco, Walmart, Southwest Airlines, and MGM Mirage examine how strategic management, supply chain decisions, and organizational vision drive competitive performance. Other papers take a process-oriented view, analyzing facility startups, change initiatives, and recruitment strategies to understand how organizations ensure successful execution. More humanistic approaches appear as well, including literary and argumentative analysis of the right to fail and the value of academic struggle, alongside historical examinations such as the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 and its impact on labor and institutional change.

A strong essay on success requires a focused, arguable thesis — one that identifies which specific factors, decisions, or conditions produced a defined outcome rather than simply stating that success is desirable. Evidence drawn from case data, documented organizational processes, or close textual analysis carries the most weight. The most common pitfall is treating success as self-evident; strong essays define what success means in their particular context before attempting to explain or evaluate it.

Emotional intelligence in creative writing and peer collaboration

Emotional Intelligence Introduction What am I going to do when I learn that a classmate has basically stolen my story idea and is winning a contest using my story? What should I do if I discover that a classmate had used the plot and theme of a story I wrote a few months ago, and simply changed the names of my original characters and changed the place in which my story was set? This paper responds to that challenge and brings emotional intelligence into the issue. My story and the plagiarized version of my story Some months ago I published a short story on an Internet site that got a great deal of positive response from those visiting the site. It was a story based on a major blizzard that hit western Minnesota. Emma, the wife of the protagonist Victor, was isolated in her home by a winter storm that dumped two and a half feet of snow on the ground. The ice storm that followed the blizzard literally froze the doors and window shut, and Emma could not even go out to fetch more firewood. Her husband Nolan had gone mountain climbing in late fall and had never returned. He was actually wounded from a gunshot, and an old mountain hermit had found him bleeding and had taken him to a little hunting cabin where Nolan was healing.

Cross-cultural perspectives on global organizations and cultural issues

Cross-Cultural Perspectives - Apple's Sweatshop Plants in China Introduction The world that the Apple technology company enjoys "…could not be rosier and its future shiner," according to researcher Ajinkya Khedekar, writing in the Carnegie Council's publication – Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. The author goes on to assert that Apple has "reached the pinnacle of success in 15 short years" and its market capitalization ($500 billion) makes it one of the most "valuable and highly profitable companies in the world" (Khedekar, 2012, p. 1). But that rosy financial and technological future has been clouded somewhat by the fact that its "value culture" (what it charges for its products) is different than its "cost culture" (the working conditions and wages it pays are less than appropriate for a company that is profiting so mightily). This paper delves into the cultural issues that result from the poor treatment of Chinese workers vis-à-vis the manufacturing of Apple products (iPhone and iPod) in China.
