he party was more intense than I thought it would be considering I’m not famous. Niall had rented out one of the nicest hotels in New York City. I would have been fine with a little gathering consisting of ten people, but he insisted that we go all out. There were already at least a few hundred people there by the time I arrived with Cate by my side. The guys insisted we come together. There were around 20 photographers surrounding the limo and the hotel front entrance. I could hear the screaming of some young girls from farther away, and I could hear the voices of some news reporters standing just outside. I didn’t understand why there was such a huge deal over my birthday. “How does it feel to finally have friends?” Cate smirked as I looked over at her. “Ow, my feelings, you bitch,” I pretended to act upset, pulling at my hair randomly to make sure it was perfect. “It’s just because literally every other famous person is here,” I shrugged. I knew I was only photographed a lot because of my friendships and relationship with her and One Direction and several other very famous people. “Yeah, but they’re here for you,” she encouraged. “They’re here because Niall invited them,” I laughed, grabbing my purse and sitting up straighter. “They’re your friends, Shayna,” she insisted. I shrugged. “Dude, if we weren’t living together and you weren’t the most famous singer in the world they wouldn’t be my friends,” I laughed. This was a fact and I tried to not let it bother me.

“It’s a good time now, I feel like it’s easier to be myself,” she says.
“I thought you were by yourself, because I didn’t see your family. So I got nervous.”
“You’re going to have so much fun!” He looked ecstatic, “Look on the bright side, you’ll make more friends now!”
“It’s okay, same here, I like your shirt by the way,” I looked down to see that she had just complimented the same old Jonas Brothers shirt I’ve been wearing for 2 years now. “That’s my favorite band!”
"Just so you know," he said, standing behind her now because she had already passed him. She stopped walking to hear what he had to say. "I'm not surprised. Also, I was never dating Donna. That's not how I knew her."
He scoffed. “Do you think? I mean, you spilled champagne all over his sister, which I applaud you for, and humiliated her in front of Briarwood’s high society. But it’s not like she was going to fit in anytime soon anyway. It’s a shame though. I’ve never fucked a redhead before. It’d be an honor to see what the great state of Staten Island has to offer besides ferry rides underneath those jeans.”
“No, no not at all,” I lied “I was just was so happy for you I couldn’t hide the happiness on my face.”
“Your a whole new runner,” Elle tells me as I walk back towards her. I smiled back at her.
Connie rolled her eyes but had the faintest hint of a smirk on her face. It was good to be
“So, yeah, you all are sitting around me with your established lives—” She paused, and placed a hand on Rachael’s arm. “I really am happy for you guys. All that love and babies and shit is great.”
“Well, maybe I don't want to pretend to be your boyfriend. Did the fact that I am gay slip your mind?” I asked Cassidy, who seemed to be bouncing off the walls today.
She said “it kind of feels like a lot of people are just friends with me because they
“Those people are talking about us” I whispered to him. My arm rested around his neck as our bodies rocked the music. He turned and sneered at them.
For a long time researchers are trying to find the perfect recipe for success, however it is very hard to predict the response of the market to a new product and its adaptation to the environment. The Ice Hotel and the Travelodge are two ventures established in the end of 20th century both in the travel and hospitality sector but each one with its own unique business strategy. In evaluation of their success the decisions made throughout the development of the above mentioned ventures can be categorized as effectual and causal, as explained by Sarasvathy (2010). G.Sanvikarja suggests that causational logic is more rational and based on prediction where as the effectual strategy is more creative and is control orientated. Each of these approaches implies different strategies and reasoning behind both individual decisions and responsiveness to the environment. Furthermore, most enterprises follow a set of common principles that are key for building a business strategy including defining means, setting affordable loss, leveraging contingencies and forming partnerships (S. et. al, 2010). These four aspects are crucial for understanding how is a business created and what is its approach. However, it should be noted that most of the businesses are not strictly effectual or causal, rather a mixture of both with a tilt towards one. Every business is individual and should be treated like one. This paper will examine the business strategies behind the Ice Hotel and the
