Forum 3 module 7 & 8
Topic: Starting and Naming a Business
Prompt:
Complete the following steps:
Advise Shania on which of the business forms under
consideration best accomplishes her business goals. Thoroughly explain the
reasons for your recommendation.
Advise Shania on whether her company should become a
franchise or should open as an independent coffeehouse. Explain your
recommendation.
Perform a corporate name search at this website to determine
if the name Shania is considering is available for use in the State of
Colorado. Also assess whether the name is available as a trademark. Even if the
name is available, advise Shania on whether it is a good choice. Explain why or
why not.
Advise Shania on which of the interested persons she should
include in her business, why, and in what role(s). If she chooses not to take
in a particular party, what reasoning should she give each person, if any? Your
analysis must include biblical perspectives, such as biblical considerations of
marriage and of business relationships with non-believers.
Reply Prompt:
In preparing your replies, consider only the employee issues
in Question 4. Reply to the threads of 2 classmates who reached a different
conclusion than you did. Identify the points of difference in your analyses and
explain how your application of the relevant law to the facts of this situation
led you to a different conclusion.
Then, assume that Shania opened her coffeehouse and became
so successful that she has 20 employees and needs to promote 1 of them to be
the night shift supervisor. The employee base is quite diverse; in fact, Shania
believes she should promote a racial or ethnic minority employee to demonstrate
how inclusive her business has become. Explore the legal, ethical, and biblical
issues if Shania makes her promotion decision entirely on that basis. What are
her options?
Each reply must be supported by 3 scholarly sources, other
than the textbook/course materials. Each reply must be properly cited in current
APA format.
Review the Assignment Instructions for Discussion Board
Forums, noting especially requirements for word counts, scholarly sources, and
biblical worldview integration.
