Two Venture Ideas

A school uniform is one of the identities of the school. Many educators and sociology experts believe that students who wear school uniforms perform better academically in school. Students are often so focused on their wardrobe that it distracts them from learning. Students are also so distracted by looking and picking on each others clothes or the way others dress up. Many students feel that they are judged according to what they wear by other students, as well as by teachers and administrators. School uniforms remove these factors from the social environment within the school, thus relieving students from the pressure to fit in. It is also very affordable for many families. So I would like to open a uniform store that has clothes with a logo of David Thompson.
I would also like to bring the food that majority of David Thompson would like to eat such as Regular chips, Chocolates, Pops, Ice Creams. Why? Well here’s the thing, since David Thompson decided to go on healthy living plan, pretty much all the students are going out during break and lunch to get themselves snacks. In fact they are consuming double the amount of unhealthy food than before. DT itself is facing the downfall in making profits so why not just bring back the food that majority of students want and make profit as well.

Sustainability

Sustainability is the capacity to endure. Sustainability interfaces with economics through the social and ecological consequences of economic activity. Sustainability economics involves ecological economics where social, cultural, health-related and monetary/financial aspects are integrated.
MAC Cosmetics has become one of the most popular makeup brands in the world today. They have the best products for different kinds of skin types. Since their launch in Canada in 1985, they have grown in leaps and bounds to become the iconic fashion label they are today. This has certainly been helped by the glowing praise they’ve received from a variety of celebrities, including Dita von Teese, Pamela Anderson, Debbie Harry, Alexander Mcqueen, Fergie, and many others. Mac Cosmetics has a wide range of products. Some of their flagship products include MAC Blush (including their MAC Barbie Blush range), MAC Lipstick, their legendary MAC Brushes, MAC eye liners and eye palettes, and for the hardcore fusionists and makeup artists, the raw MAC pigments are perennially popular.
MAC Cosmetics are also known for their social conscience. They have a number of programs to help the community. In particular, MAC is involved in Eco-friendly nature research. Their product line supports Eco friendly charities. This program has raised an impressive $100 million dollars, which shows that their commitment to this cause is more than just lip service. Their particular deal for this Eco-friendly program is if the customer returns the empty packs for at least any 6 products, any color of lipstick would be given as a reward. I think this is a very good way of attracting a customer and making profits.
It makes me shop from them even more now. It gives you reorganization and you become a member which ends up getting us a lot of different offers from them.

The Corporation and Its Social Responsibilities

Corporation is a formal business association with a publicly registered charted recognizing it as a separate legal entity having its own privileges, and liabilities distinct from those of its members. There are many different forms of corporations, most are which used to conduct business.
When I hear businessmen speak eloquently about the “social responsibilities of business in a free-enterprise system”, I am reminded of the wonderful line about the Frenchman who discovered at the age of 70 that he had been speaking prose all his life. The businessmen believe that they are defending free enterprise when they declaim that business is not concerned “merely” with profit but also with promoting desirable “social” ends; that business has a “social conscience” and takes seriously its responsibilities for providing employment, eliminating discrimination, avoiding pollution and whatever else may be the catchwords of the contemporary crop of reformers. In fact they are — or would be if they or anyone else took them seriously -preaching pure and unadulterated socialism. Businessmen who talk this way are unwitting puppets of the intellectual forces that have been undermining the basis of a free society these past decades.
