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.

Promised Land/Black Girl Ousmane Sembene\'s Short Story

The legacy of French colonization is evident in the short story "Promised Land," but what makes the story so resonant is the way it is able to relate to practically any immigrant experience. The story follows a young black woman working in France, and demonstrates how the racist legacy of colonization isolates her to the point of suicide. By the role colonialism plays in the story, one is able to see how it affects immigrants to this day.

Social criticism of Luces de Bohemia by Valle-Inclán

A number of influential Spanish playwrights were active during the early part of the 20th century, including Ramon Maria del Valle-Inclán who invented a new dramatic device that he termed "esperpento" in his play, "Luces de Bohemia" or "Bohemian Lights." Originally published in 1920, this play about the people of the City of Madrid was not actually produced until 1963, but Valle-Inclán's other major contributions to dramatic literature include Divinas palabras and the three Comedias bárbaras, but most authorities agree that "Luces de Bohemia" is Valle-Inclán's masterpiece. To gain some fresh insights into the delayed production of this play and the social criticism that it generated at the time as well as the time, space and historical moment in which it was created, this paper provides a review of the relevant literature concerning Ramon Maria del Valle-Inclan's play, "Bohemian Lights," followed by a summary of the research and important findings in the conclusion.

Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams

"Where are the snows of yesteryear?" asks Tennessee Williams in the opening screen of The Glass Menagerie (401). Williams explains in the production notes to this famous play that he has left in the manuscript a device omitted from the "acting version" of the play (Williams 395), a series of messages projected on screens, some verbal, some pictorial, that prompt and reflect the action on stage. Williams explains the trajectory of action succinctly before those notes as occurring in two parts, preparation for a gentleman caller, and "the gentleman calls" (394). Between those two bookends Williams brings back snows of a yesteryear that have melted away forever, but which his Prince can never forget. Such is the nature of living in time, he suggests, from the very first words of the Production Notes (395). Such innovations as the screen projection or the tansparent set properties Williams employs in The Glass Menagerie attempt "a more penetrating and vivid expression of things as they are" (Williams 395). The fact that The Glass Menagerie has captivated so many, called by Hale "the great American play" more performed and reprinted "in modern theater history" (27) indicates Williams was not alone in an obsession with a past he could never recapture, but could never fully leave behind.
