ESTEEM (self-esteem, confidence, achievement, respect of and by others)

Throughout the movie, the clips of Fox Books show people being happy whether they are in a group of friends or be themselves. I would classify this as esteem because it shows that Fox Books is providing an environment that make people comfortable and filled with confidence.

EXAMPLE: When Kathleen is discovering the kids area, there are kids playing and reading together which shows their confidence in reading and the respect they have for each other.

This business ownership is a corporation

DISADVANTAGES

People who own only a few shares don’t have a lot of influence on how the company is run

Timely and costly to start up

If the corporations fails, the owners or shareholders lose only the amount that they’ve invested in

EXAMPLE: If Joe were to pass away, the shop will continue to run as if he was alive.

ADVANTAGES

Transfer of ownership is simple

A publicly traded corporation may pay out the rest to shareholders in the form of dividend

If the business earns profit, some of it may be used to expand the company

Limited liability is an advantage because it encourages people to buy shares

Shareholders have limited liability (not held responsible for the debts of the corporation)

The more shares a shareholder owns, the greater the control

Cannot be managed well if it is owned or funded by only one or two people (resorts to selling through a stock exchange for shares)

Most are own entirely by individuals, families, and small groups

Can be as small as one person or as large as a multinational/transnational

A business that has been granted legal status with rights, privileges, and liabilities that are distinct from those of the people who work for the business

The demand for books from Fox Books was really high. Again, this is because the business was highly antcipated. Since the demand was high, the supply was high too.

EXAMPLE: Fox Books had an estimated 150,000 of books in their inventory.

The price of the books were considered cheap and according to the law of deamnd, the cheaper the product is, the higher the demand.

The popularity of Fox Books grew and grew and it wasn't something Kathleen was ready for because soon, it almost put her out of business. The reason for this is because all of her customers were starting to shop at Fox Books.

This store was a highly anticipated shop because it was new and the community has never seen such shop before. Because of this, many people were excited to shop at.

The popularity that Fox Books had was replacing the reputation that the Shop Around the Corner was known for.

Because of this, the hate Kathleen had for Joe grew as the movie progressed because his business was putting her out of business.

Their role in the community is to provide books for a wide range of audience at a cheap price.

The way the store was finished had a modern look (at their time) inside and out . This appealed to the local community because where they were located wasn’t particularly in the big city.

The bigger the store, the bigger the inventory to occupy such space.

EXAMPLE: I know this is a for profit business because when Kathleen is exploring the store, there are shots of people exchanging money for books.

There are a lot of people working at Fox Books (jobs).

EXAMPLE: Because the store itself is really big and it has two floors, there must be employees working to occupy the spaces that the store offers. For example, there is a kids area separate from the cashier line so there needs to be more people working in those specific departments.

This business is a BIG business.

EXAMPLE: Because it is a big business, it has several hundreds of employees working. within different departments and positions.

The books they sell are considered a want and not a need.

The produtcs they sell are books which is a good because what they sell are physically tangeable.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

LOVE AND BELONGING (family & friends)

Throughout the movie, I can make an inference that the business is satisfying the level of love and belonging because of the bond it creates. This business brings people within the community together because the Shop Around the Corner is known as that local bookstore in their town.

EXAMPLE: At the beginning of the movie when it introduces this business, it is filled with happy family and friends enjoying their time together. The business has successfully created an environment that brings the community together.

Form of Business Ownership

This business ownership is a sole proprietorship.

DISADVANTAGES:

Owner may not be familiar with all aspects of business

Financing may be difficult

If the business doesn’t do well, the owner is responsible for all the losses (may lose home and other personal belongings) also known as unlimited liability

ADVANTAGES:

Kathleen is her own boss

Starting up and administering the business is easier and less expensive compared to other forms of business

If the business does well, the owner gets all the profits

CHARACTERISTICS:

Money to run the business usually comes from personal savings, friends, family, or bank loan

Owns all the equipment in the store and might own the building

Many different responsibilities within the business

Owned by one person (proprietor)

EXAMPLE: In the movie, it is mentioned that the Shop Around the Corner is a family owned business and it was passed down to Kathleen. Also, it is mentioned a couple of times that her mother passed away and Kathleen's mother meant so much to her.

Supply & Demand

When the Shop Around the Corner was the local bookstore in the town, demand was high for the products (books and toys) they were selling which results in supply increasing.

As soon as Fox Books open, they started to lose customers. This meant the demand was low and they had a lot of supply.

EXAMPLE: Because of this, they did a 40% sale because the shop needed money. They had to sell as much as they could to keep the store running.

Impact of Business on Community

Employees move on from working at the Shop Around the Corner to Fox Books because the Shop Around the Corner is going down hill.

More customers are attracted to Fox Books and start shopping there rather than the Shop Around the Corner.

Impact of Competition

Kathleen is upset at Fox Books for opening across the street from her business which caused frequent arguments between Kathleen and Joe regarding their businesses.

EXAMPLE: "It's not personal, it's business".

Kathleen discovers that the other store is friendly and relaxed, yet she points out the competition doesn’t focus on children’s books/environment like she does

Despite Kathleen focusing more on satisfying kids with her business, she is losing customers because everyone is now shopping at her competitor.

Characteristics

There are only a few people working in The Shop Around the Corner (jobs).

EXAMPLE: The employees help around wherever they can. All of them are cashiers and all four employees can be seen helping Kathleen throughout the movie.

Their role in the community is being a family-friendly shop that you could go to no matter how old you are. They have a reputation for that kind of environment at their location.

EXAMPLE: To provide the children with great books!

This business is a for profit business.

EXAMPLE: In the movie, Kathleen can be seen making an exchange. In the exchange, the customer can be seen giving money to Kathleen in exchange for the books she sells.

DEFINITION: "a business that produces or sells goods and services for the purpose of making profit."

This business is a SMALL business.

EXAMPLE: This business is only located in a local town

A small or medium-sized business (SMB) can be classified by: Employs fewer than 500 people

Products & Services

A service they offer is story time to the kids.

EXAMPLE: In the movie, Kathleen can be seen reading to the kids.

The products and service they offer is considered a want.

DEFINITION: "Things that are not necessary for survival, but add comfort and pleasure to our lives".
