Willie Robertson is the Chief Executive Officer of Duck Commander, which is a family owned and operated hunting-accessories company. Willie’s father founded the company in 1972, but it’s been Willie’s entrepreneur skills and charismatic leadership that has developed the company into a multi-million dollar business specializing in the manufacturing of duck calls, duck decoys, cooking DVDs and apparel. He also introduced his family and company to the world through the popular A&E reality TV show “Duck Dynasty” which has had a huge boost in the company’s exposure worldwide. Willie’s influence in the transformation and growth of Duck Commander is also attributed to his leadership style, philosophy, and personal values.

We believe that his business is interesting, because he not only operates his business in Indiana but he also works in Virginia. He has to make several trips a month to Virginia to oversee projects and things of that nature. One of the great things about his business is that he sometimes is able to take his family along with him to Virginia. This allows him to still have the work-life balance that he needs. As with most entrepreneurs, Brian has to put in long hours. Another thing that is interesting about his business is that he doesn’t have to pay for any kind of marketing. He has been able to use word-of-mouth and networking to generate more customers. Marketing is a big expense for most companies, and it is interesting that he was able to be successful and maintain his business without it.

‘Herewith appear to be the most pressing matters; one, infective and inexperienced entrepreneurial leadership. Two, the dialectic nature between front of house and back of house, and three, a lack of general training motivation and direction in original concept.’

Joe emerged his business by perusing his desire to run a business on his own. Together Joe and Larry took the risk and began Bannes-Shaughnessy Inc. in 1972 (Katz, 2011). Despite their prior experience and low amount of capital they began with, within five years they had received their first million dollar contract, proving their existence. From here on out their firm grew, so did their success, and in turn were helping the community. Joe was compassionate and his work and business reflected that. Their families were benefiting from their success as well as their own lives. They were perusing their dreams, and once Joe became the sole owner, he was able to take the business to the next level. It is as if he was beginning the growth stage again within his own company, he could now continue on focusing on the expansion and diversification of his

For my interview I decided to interview my father, Joe Malich. Joe has owned three businesses, Malich Motors, Powerboats Northwest, and The Boat Shop Northwest. His most recent business is The Boat Shop Northwest which is a small boat store compared to Powerboats Northwest which filled bankruptcy in 2009 after the economy crashed. For the purpose of this interview I asked questions based around Powerboats Northwest because it was a bigger company and as an owner he had more employees. Growing up he sold anything he could get his hand on to make money whether it is motorcycles, jet skis, or cars. Eventually in 1997, he opened Malich Motors and was successful in the car industry w but decided to do something no one ever thought of in the northwest,

Duck hunting is an absolute passion for me and nothing could possibly interrupt this annual event. For me, sitting out in a duck blind at 5:30 in the morning with the brisk cold air biting at my skin is something I look forward to each and every year. Even having to break through a layer of thin ice to make it out to my blind never gets old. The frigid cold on my hands can get unbearable at times, but the possibility of frostbite is never at the forefront of my thoughts. After all, when the ducks start to fly, nothing can force me off the lake.

One early saturday morning my dad (Shawn), my cousin (trey), and I woke up at 2:30 a.m. to go duck hunting. When we get out there we are one of the first people there and 4:00 comes along and we sent out to our spot. When we come to a spot that boats can't go we have to walk for about 15 minutes. As we are putting out the last of are decoys we here so more people throwing out decoys and they are pretty close. Well, we start talking to them and they are pretty nice and they ask if they can hunt with us and we said yes. Then, daylight comes and a group of ducks come in and we shot but I was the only one that killed one that we could find and it´s a drake which is a male mallard. Then, my dad shoots and we could not find his ducks.

While both search results produced similarities, there were some notable differences. For instance, Google seemed to offer more personalized and filtered search result than DuckDuckGo. In other words, the results were tailored towards aspects about myself such as my location and typical Internet habits. For example, Google generated some of its first results as links to the websites of the local CrossFit gyms in State College. DuckDuckGo offered locations of gyms that were not remotely close to my current location, such as Toronto, Oklahoma and New York. Additionally, the CrossFit Wikipedia page was the second link on DuckDuckGo yet the eighth on Google’s search engine. So too, CrossFit’s

Walker had no formal training in how to run a business, the only experience she had was as a laundress but she felt that there was more to the world than what she saw around her.

The range of boating adventures I’ve experienced in the 1000 Islands is considerable. I recall one outing that continues to stand out, and I revisit it now as I fondly remember the captain of that occasion, William E. Browning III, who passed away in 2013.

This case details the position of Carol Sullivan-Diaz, the 28-year-old daughter of Walter Sullivan who died at the age of 56. Walter had bought a Ford dealership in 1983 that eventually grew into what is now Sullivan Ford Auto World. The business sells cars but also services them. Carol is disappointed by current turnover in car sales and sees that the service revenues are below average for this size of dealership. Carol’s now has to decide what way to tackle the future. She can sell the business but will probably only return a value below what it might be worth if profitable or she can look at the operation and see if she can turn it around herself. While she has a bachelor’s degree in economics, an MBA degree and a
