Apprentice blog

1. I think that the tasks assigned to VersaCorp and Protege were good tests of leadership skills. For example the last task between Bill and Kwame really brought out the leadership qualities in each candidate.

2. I would not make a good candidate in a few years because I have absolutely no interest in business at all.

3. My task would be to take control of a store/ restaurant and try to make a bigger profit than the stores' average profit. The reward for winning the task would be a dinner with the Boston Bruins.

4.  If I were Bill I would have chosen to overlook the construction of the golf course. I would chose this because it seems much easier and less time consuming.

5. I do not agree with the way Kwame tricked people into thinking that he was a famous athlete by offering to sign the basketballs. I thought that it was unethical because it was false advertising and unfair to the people that he tricked.

6. i would definitely recommend this to other classes because you can learn a lot form it and it gives you a break from busy work

2 businesses

Two companies that have been affected by a scandal are Target and Market Basket. Target was hacked on March 13, 2014 and was victim to a security breach. Target responded by warning people to keep a close eye on their credit cards. Market Basket employees went on strike to regain a loved leader over the summer. The cousin of their former CEO bought more shares of the company and gained control planning to sell the company. however the workers went on strike until their former CEO returned. they ended up successful and Market Basket strives once again.
