Today,when I looked into the new blog assignment’s topic:” If  the United Nations was fully funded why would we need the Arc or social enterprise”?  I think it’s a really interesting question,since we already have United Nations,why do we still need them?

Social enterprise contains several aspects,which includes Ambitious,Mission Driven,Strategic,Resourceful,Results Oriented.Social entrepreneurship is the process of pursuing innovative solutions to social problems.Especially in some small aspects of social problems that cannot attract institutions like United Nations’ notice,in this situation,they need help from social enterprise.

For Arc,is a program that aimed to build a bridge, that facilitates a genuine two-way exchange of knowledge and business skills,in the meantime,it helps improve the developments in some developing countries like  South Africa,Ethiopia,Colombia and Rwanda.This is a definitely win-win strategy for both the students and these developing communities.Also,the Arc provides students with internship opportunities,which helps students gain social experiences and working experience,makes students stand at a good position when then are looking jobs after graduate.It also helps students their business horizons.The best part is,while they are doing this,they indeed helps these poor conditions communities improve with their facilities and life qualities.

For the developed countries,although its social welfares are well developed,there are still some other issues to be figured out.Now social enterprise will do its jobs dealing with these problems,and help people build a better society.

Matthew Miller updated his blog in the early morning today.He wrote an article about how Walmart save its sales in China,and here is the original blog”Wal-Mart To Focus On Food Safety In China: Asia Chief“

In the blog,he mentioned there are many food safety scandals in China.Indeed,China’s food safety is a really big problem for Chinese citizens.For me,I come from China,so I know it’s a big threat if Walmart does a bad job to ensure its food quality.Actually,Walmart did make several mistakes on its food safety problems in China.Walmart sold donkey meat mixed with fox meat and this is cause its store shut down in Chongqing.Also,Walmart’s sales is decreasing in its global markets,both in Japan,India and China.

The author says “China is a big part of future game”,and I am totally agree with that,because now China has 400 Walmart stores ,and in the next two years,Walmart plans to open 110 new facilities.And if Walmart cannot ensure its food safety and quality,it is doomed to fail.So the company said they would “continue to invest very aggressively” with a focus on food quality and safety to push up traffic to its Chinese stores.Maybe Walmart should think itself,is it because China is a big market and Walmart should fix its finance problems so that they focus on food safety? Would Walmart still concern about food safety issues if its sales and finance act good?Does Walmart concern about business ethics? I think a company should concern about what are the good for customers and provide the good things to them,not wait until its finance encountered problems then fix it.Business ethics is also an important part of how people operate a business.

It is no doubt that the office use applications which includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint are the most popular applications among companies and schools in the whole world.They were first released in 1990, generated nearly a third of Microsoft’s revenue during its last fiscal year — about $26 billion of $87 billion in total.

However,the world’s largest software company, said on last Thursday that it would give away a comprehensive mobile edition of Office,and it will charge for nothing.

Nowadays,more and more people have began use mobile devices such as tablet and cellphone via the internet rather than a PC.Analysis show that not everyone needs a PC,they can do most of writing jobs on their mobile devices.Besides,Apple also canceled its paid office apps(Pages,Keynotes,Numbers)to free from 2014. Which makes people stared choose apps form Apple and other office apps like Evernote.These apps both can satisfy people’s needs,so they’d rather abandon Microsoft Office(because it’s paid).

Satya Nadella,the new CEO of Microsoft,who has pushed cloud and mobile computing as lodestars for the company’s future.Since Microsoft bought Nokia,it’s obviously Microsoft wants to make mobile become its new money machine.So it is important to attract people using their office apps.Microsoft’s new phone cancels the name of “Nokia”,it starts to use”Lumia”to name its phones.This will leave consumers a deep impression of the phone,and in the meanwhile,hence the brand value.People use other system like IOS or Android may find the free Microsoft Office apps are useful then they may consider buying a Lumia directly next time they change their phones.

In early September this year,a Chinese made fantasy,“The Monkey King,” climbed to No. 21 at the worldwide box office, with $186.1 million in sales.A few weeks later, a Chinese comedy, “Breakup Buddies,” shot to No. 22, with $143.1 million in ticket sales as of last week.However,in America,as the Rentrak’s box-office say, United States companies and their partners backed the top 20 performers at the world box office every year for the last five year.

We have admit that Chinese movies made a really big progress in recent years.Chinese made movies not only released in China,but also released in many countries and regions like North America and Asia.Which in these places brings a lot of sales for Chinese movie companies.With the technology development in China, more and more movies can attract people’s eye balls and make people willing to go to a movie theatre.Plus,Chinese government allows only 20 movies import from other countries,for protecting Chinese movie industry.So Hollywood can inout only a few movies(approx.5 ) into China a year(compare to it makes approximately 120-150 movies/year). It’s kind monopoly behaviour that Chinese government does makes this rule. Which makes Chinese movies’ sales much higher than sales of movies from Hollywood in China(compare to the whole year).But out of China,Hollywood is still dominant in the movie market.
