Hi, I do need to finish this paper, I wrote down 900 words, I do need other 800 words and I have 2 feedbacks from my colleagues with the instructions for the paper. I attached the 2 feedbacks and I add here what I have done so far. It's all about how I See and what do I need to improve the position of a manager in the company Uber and some extra words about the feedback I have received from my colleagues. Thank you.
Uber, the ride-sharing company launched in 2010, offering service to millions of people. It is present in more than 60 countries around the world and it is revolutionising the taxi industry by offering great services and by connecting riders with drivers through their technology application. It has been substantially growing in the last 3 years by doubling riders and drivers every 6 months, and mostly because of their hour flexibility. They offer different cab services to please each of their customers. I chose Uber because I’m very familiar with the company’s organisation. I’ve been mostly interested and informed about the company’s structure in the last year, especially from a driver’s point of view. I’m currently studying IT and Business and I can see both technology and business working together within the Uber company. They are working hard to maintain and improve their technology advances. This company offers good opportunities and almost all the time you can aspire to a job in so many different countries. You are also given the chance to work with amazing people coming from a good background (MIT, Facebook, Google…). I believe in the Uber’s product as many people keep investing and supporting the company even if it’s hard to place the product everywhere due to so many law and policies differences coming from town to town, from country to country. From a manager point of view, I made my research and realised my ideas could could help to improve the next upcoming steps towards the company’s future. Reference needed
Job Hours
Uber, the transport revolution nowadays, offers their services to people I could have never imagined until I heard the first time about it. Being a guy working among more than 2,000 people is a small scale if we think about the numbers of the company. And that’s obviously without all the drivers, as Uber considers them partners, more a self-employed status. Working in the headquarters’ office with so many talented people it’s an exciting idea. That it’s a job I would like to have and I would try to work hard and do my best to make the company better, sometimes even losing track of time at doing different tasks. I’m happy with the 9-5 hours but sometimes I understand that I need to put some extra effort and work longer hours. However, I know I can manage sometimes my hours and even work from home. There are pros and cons, as in everything. I look forward to the pay incentives and the rewards towards my job role in the company. Reference needed
Pay It’s hard to reach the point where you can get some shares from the company. It would happen only if you make a revolution, if you come with a new idea that would help the entire organisation. Then, the only motivation I see in working for Uber is the pay statements and the rewards the company has for their employees. I would rather go for the flexible payment and rewards to acknowledge the work delivered. The most important thing is to have the job appreciated through the pay and the incentives from the company.
Carrer Prospects:
As Facebook connects now more than 2 billion people, I see Uber catching the idea to reach almost every person around this planet with the app. It’s enough to use the service at least once, and not necessarily in your own country, since you have the opportunity to use the app everywhere with the same account. By being in a group with such an extraordinary mindset it’s easy to get the most of it and excel in the company. For example, make a career, which is one of the most important things nowadays, having the opportunity to bring to life new ideas, and grow through working out every problem. The scariest part of a job is getting at that point where you get stuck. That’s the point I would never end accepting because I know I can start again and again until I pass the state of failure. In Uber I see good future perspectives, and not a point where you can get to an end. The carrer prospects among Uber will be more and more exciting since there appears to be a competitor coming along such as the company Lyft. The transparency and the equality within the team working for Uber is very important. The co-workers find themselves in a safe place which helps increase their peace of mind. Reference needed
Employee Benefits
When living in a capitalistic world, even with the globalisation, it’s very hard to keep that peace of mind in terms of our future. So, there are benefits that can help people relax when thinking of the pension scheme. I agree with all the benefits that a normal job has to offer. It’s important to have a private health insurance coming from the company. Even more training in different fields for the employee, that are handled by the company, are a great incentive and something anyone would wish for. A fair system amongst all of the employees, with transparency and motivational training are essential. To reduce stress from the job you can spend some free time with your family and friends, which improves the quality of the time spent at work. It’s important to look for solutions for both company and employee to satisfy both sides. Reference needed

Topic 1: Business Ethics: Contracts with Foreign Businesses
Currently, limited international laws exist in areas such as copyright/patent protection and confidentiality of information. Labor and environmental laws may vary significantly between the United States and many developing countries. In addition, although all countries have laws against bribery, there are some countries where corruption is quite common.
In this Discussion topic, you are the owner of a manufacturing company, and you are considering a contract with a clothing manufacturer in Bangladesh. (Please keep in mind that you will use some of this information in your ethics policy in the Final Project.)
Please address the following in your response: •In reflecting on the limited international laws and regulations and the differences between the U.S. and other countries, briefly discuss some guidelines (principles and concepts) that you would have in your code of conduct (ethical/social responsibility policies). •Describe the ethical decision-making framework (What will shape your code?). •What are expected behaviors and how will you address poor behavior? •Given the existence of regulations and laws by the United States, international governing bodies, and global organizations, list the major concerns and issues that you will need to be mindful of in developing a code of conduct for working with a foreign business.
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. USE REFERENCES AND INTEXT CITATIONS
For your paper, you will consider a large organization like General Motors which has several locations (plants). You may use General Motors or any other company similar in size. For this paper imagine that the higher management of your plant has just been informed that the plant will close and about half of the employees will be moved to a different location across the country. There are about 1000 employees. Some will be offered early retirements, some will be offered a move (if there is a job for them available at the new location) and others will be laid off. Write a paper about the expected organizational changes that will most likely occur. Go through the steps of this company as they prepare their people for this planned moved. Consider the period of two years for this complete shutdown to occur. Use a time line for what and how you would proceed. You are writing as top management but remember that you must include appropriate guidelines for your middle managers since they are the ones that will be addressing the employees on a daily basis.
Within your paper answer all the following questions:
1. Briefly summarize THREE key events of organizational change you expect during the transition. 2. How should the leaders handle the situations (key events), based on your knowledge of leading change? You should use concepts and terminology found in the text or other reading from the course. 3. How did the environment affect how the leaders managed change? This question is designed to help you understand how high stress, high demand situations may require different techniques than a "slower" and less stressful environment. 4. Which group of employees resisted change the most? How were they best handled?
The paper should be in APA format and approximately 3-5 (not including title and reference pages) pages in the main body of the paper. Papers without at least 1050 words of text (not including title and reference page) will have deductions. Make sure you clearly show the answers to the above questions. If you use quotes in your paper you should have more than 1050 words to compensate for the quotes. Your paper should have at least two resources. Your references must have an author associated with them. Do not use information from the internet unless there is an author. Use scholarly articles.
The overall task you are faced with is to come up with a plan to get Envirofit’s two-stroke conversion kit from its current status as a proven concept to a sustainable business. Based on the information provided in your textbook (pp. 262-271), in-class discussion, and your own research provide a discussion of the Envirofit case that answers the following questions: 1. Is it appropriate to consider Envirofit to be a social enterprise? How would you describe its approach to Shared Value? What social problem(s) is Envirofit attempting to solve? What does it offer its investors? 2. Why is Envirofit’s two-stroke motorcycle engine conversion kit described as being targeted at the “base of the pyramid.”? How should Envirofit’s business model accommodate the unique characteristics associated with this market? 3. Based on the information provided in the case (the situation that existed in late 2003), what do you see as the two biggest obstacles to be overcome in order to successfully launch the two-stroke motorcycle engine conversion kit? 4. Two of the founders at the time of the case were graduate engineering students with the potential for well-paid jobs if they decide not to pursue launching the venture. If you were offered the opportunity to join the venture as one of its key team members, how would you evaluate whether or not to take the job? 5. Where would you look for financing to fund the venture?
