Conceptualizing a Business:
The modern business world is characterized with numerous opportunities for starting new businesses because of rapid growth and developments in the society. Some of these opportunities exist in the fast food industry and alcohol sector. Notably, the ability to take advantage of these opportunities and develop a business that meets the need of consumers requires conceptualization of the company or business. Conceptualizing a business is a process that involves presenting the company's vision, mission, and strategic directions that will prove to be a worthy investment and obtain competitive advantage over the already existing rivals. As part of developing a business plan, conceptualizing a business provides an individual with the opportunity to strategically organize his/her thoughts into a solid plan for adapting and growing the business are market realities become apparent.

The core values of the organization are somewhat like the character or personality of the organization. They are the aspects of the organization which the company holds despite any changes in the market conditions or demands. Collins and Porras (2002)
state that the values of an organization should stand to the question on whether the organization would still be willing to hold on to these values if they were a disadvantage to the organization itself.

Various researches that have been conducted have exemplarily shown that the companies which have succeeded are the ones which are guided by the company values. The core values of an organization reflect the functional ideologies in the company and they should not be alterable in any situation.

Lastly, the values at Heavy Henry's will incorporate a healthy disrespect for the conventions of fine dining. Food is not about appearances, or putting on airs. Food is about performing a basic act of nature, and Heavy Henry's is about optimizing that experience. It might be boisterous, it certainly will be messy, but if our customers are not having the time of lives then we are not doing our job. That means putting them at ease -- no reservations, no dress codes and no snobbery.
It is believed that the key competitive advantage for Heavy Henry's will be in delivering this exceptional experience. In order to deliver this experience, inputs and throughputs are critical. The key inputs are ingredients and labor. The ingredients will be sourced from the best suppliers, but ultimately our competition can do the same. here we will exceed is in delivering the best dining experience from…...

Shared value as a business approach is integral in conducting business because it both creates economic value and societal benefit. Businesses create shared value when they can make profit while also meeting important social needs like improving environmental performance, reducing health related problems, improving nutrition, reducing disability among other factors. When businesses create shared value to make profit and meet societal needs. Shared value should not only be thought of in the context of doing more good. It also encompasses aspects of capitalism (Driver, 2011). Capitalism has relegated many important aspects of society like improvement of environmental performance, safety, and focus on the local community to the periphery of the business operations because of a notion that these are social and not business related activities. The shared value concept includes all these social items into capitalism. For profit firms that engage in these social activities stand to gain a lot…...

esearchers have an occasion to further organizational science and to make research practical by producing information that can impact changing organizational forms and circumstances. Pragmatically, academic researchers are not likely to get access to a company that is going through change unless the practitioners believe the research will be helpful (Gibson & Mohrman, 2001).
There have been a number of calls to augment the significance and effectiveness of organizational science to companies. The usefulness challenge cannot be defined merely as getting practitioners to value and include what academics learn. It is believed that the usefulness of research depends, somewhat, on the degree to which the perspectives of organization members are incorporated in research procedures and the results are included into those members' organization design activities that take place as their company adjusts to its changing environment. esearch is more likely to be seen as useful if there are occasions for…...

Limitations of the Research or Gaps
A Critical Analysis of the usiness Judgement Rule under the Australian Corporation Law

There have been many large businesses which have collapsed unexpectedly to cause irreparable damage to the investors worldwide in recent years. The most recent and larger cases are those of the fall of the mighty U.S.-based Enron International and the Australian firm, HIH Insurance. These cases shook the faith of the stakeholders in the ability and the intention of the directors who were in charge of the operation of these enterprises. These cases have also made it harder for the directors to negate the fiduciary duty imposed upon them by the law. For instance, according to the 1997 Directors' Duties and Corporate Governance prepared by the Commonwealth of Australia, 'There has been increasing debate in Australia about the standard of corporate governance, particularly in light of the experiences of the late 1980s.…...

component of effective incident handling is a security management team that is engaged in constant preparation and network scanning for such a breach. "Once your security team declares there has been a breach, it should inform the incident management team, and it should assemble within minutes" (Schilling, 2013, p.3). The team should then conduct "network forensics, systems forensics and malware analysis" to understand the extent of the threat and "by reviewing network and security event logs, a forensic analyst can determine which computer systems are likely compromised" (Schilling 2013, p.3). There may not be a need to shut down the entire system; the question is the extent to which the threat can be isolated and contained. "Once an infected system is recovered for analysis, the forensics analysts will examine the system to retrieve the files that are responsible for the threat activity. These files are normally hiding some type…...
