Therefore, the people most affected by Graeter’s decisions to take a long term view of the business rather than aim for short term profits are the family members who have a stake in the business. At the present, Richard Graeter II (CEO), Robert Graeter (vice president of operations) and Chip Graeter (vice president of retail operations) manage the business and are responsible for all the decisions regarding its operations. Graeter’s management team have chosen to forgo the opportunity for short term profits by adhering to the traditional manufacturing process used by Louis

The business is currently owned and operated by fourth generation family members Richard Graeter II (CEO), Robert Graeter (vice president of operations) and Chip Graeter (vice president of retail operations). They are equally responsible for making all the decisions regarding the direction and future of the business (Pride, Hughes & Kapoor 2015, p. 10) Graeter’s decision to forgo short term profits reflects their dedication to product quality and is the
Capital structure is the combination of debt and equity that a company uses to finance expansions of the company and long term operations. Stock options are the most commonly used capital in a publicly traded company, and can usually compromise a company’s ownership if they put too many stock options up for sale. If that happens than the owner of the company can lose control and can be removed of the majority of stock holders decide to remove them especially if they are a Chief Operating Officer of the company they own (Tracy, 2014).

they are related to equity in terms of ownership because stocks are available to the public providing an initial public offering and continues to be released as secondary or seasoned offerings (Adomait and Maranta 150). Because of this, a company can increase it’s equity by selling it’s ownership in the stock exchange market.(Adomait and Maranta 150). Also, financial markets have a lot to do with efficiency. When a financial market is efficient, no company has any absolute advantage, everybody involved should be knowledgable of everything here is to know because the prices should reflect the common knowledge available about the product(Adomait and Maranta 156).
Some of the important stakeholders include: internal (executive and senior management, such as CFO, CEO, CNIO, CMIO, CIO, departmental directors), interphase (focus groups representing front line clinicians, pharmacists, nurses, other allied healthcare professionals) and external ( e.g. government regulatory bodies, patients, accreditation associations). As a stakeholder is any individual that can affect or be affected by the CIS deployment, it is important to identify and engaging them early on is critical to the latter success. The interphase stakeholders know best the workflows at the point of care and will help identify a system that is compatible with the needs and has functionality that is in line with the processes.

I believe that “owning” the tangible helps to build moral character, but there is a fine line where “ownership” can become detrimental. “Ownership” is not detrimental until the object becomes idolized. “Owning” the tangible goods helps to build sense of self. As Aristotle claims, “ownership of tangible goods helps to develop moral character.”
Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès talks about in his famous pamphlet, What Is the Third Estate, relates to common people. During history, we talked about how the people serve the king based on God’s authority. However, it limits people from speaking out on their individual issues or needs. What Sieyès suggests is that without the nobility or the citizens, they cannot function. It takes both the nobility and citizens to create the foundation for their “new” government.
According to the Appendix A of AASB10 non-controlling interest (NCI) is defined as: “Equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent” (Ecompress.com.ezproxy.lib.uts.edu.au, 2016). A non-controlling interest is also known as a minority interest and is part of the equity of the consolidated group. For example, 80 percent of a subsidiary’s ownership (equity) interests are held by the subsidiary’s parent, and 20 percent of a subsidiary’s ownership interests are held by other owners; this ownership interest is known as a non-controlling interest.

The Unfair Advantage Theory All explained above was about the classical retributivism. At the end of the 20th century, because of some failings in practical theories and utilitarianism, retributivism was regenerated. In those years, somehow early 1980s, Michael Davis proposed his theory, named ' 'fairness theory ' ', about the punishment by which he advanced the retributivism theory and made it more evolved. He argued that the punishment should fit not only the crime but also the amount of ' 'unfair advantage ' ' which were achieved by the wrongdoer.
Social capital is a concept in which certain features of social structures (norms, networks, and social trust) within a society facilitate certain actions of people that contribute to the achievement of their interests (Coleman, 1988). The sociologist Robert Putnam argues that the “erosions of social capital” in America are contributing to social isolation, a lack of social connectedness (one’s ability to connect to other individuals for beneficial resources) and civic engagement (one’s ability to be involved in issues that affect a community). However, Rankin and Quane’s finding of high levels of engagement among individuals in poorer neighborhoods show the limits of previous research, such as Putnam’s on social isolation.

Furthermore, in the last decade, an increasing number of major shareholders attempt to influence corporate behaviour by using their equity stakes in organisation to pressure the management for improved performance and increase the value of their investments. However, shareholder activism is believed to be very controversial.
