T. Eaton Co. Limited, or more commonly known as Eaton’s, was founded in Toronto in 1869, by Timothy Eaton . It was one of the most successful department store retailers in Canada during the late 1800s to mid 1900s. Timothy Eaton’s success can be attributed to his strategy of appealing to the upper working class with disposable income and lower middle class as this reached a larger consumer base. Moreover, his introduction of the mail-order catalogue, his determination and detailed attention to the company’s accounting and finances, the increased urbanization and living standards, along with many more factors, led to Eaton’s success. Despite Eaton’s downfall in the 1970s, and finally bankruptcy in 1999 , it is undeniable that Eaton made some innovative changes to the retail landscape that differentiated itself, and are still present to this day. Firstly, all goods were sold at fixed cash prices, such that there would be no bartering, or price negotiations; so goods could not be purchased on credit. The introduction of the money-back guarantee was effective in gaining the loyalty of its customers: “Goods Satisfactory or Money Refunded” .

Joe Hinrichs, a recent Harvard Business school graduate, was hired in February 1996 to run the General Motors’s the Fredericksburg Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) manufacturing plant. At 29 years old, Hinrichs was GM’s youngest plant manager. Hinrichs was inheriting a poor performing plant that continually underachieved, losing money year after year. Improvements were desperately needed to increase the efficiency of the manufacturing process and reduce operating costs. GM had considered shutting down the plant; however, when a new bonding process, using carbon fiber, for the TCC was approved in 1995, GM instead invested thirty million dollars into the Fredericksburg plant to incorporate the new process.

I found out about Trinity Wall Street on the Internet, as I browsed the list of religious organizations based in New York City. Trinity Wall Street has a website with url (http://www.trinitywallstreet.org/). The layout of the Website is good, and shows they update their site regularly and are in touch with the aesthetics of modern web design and usability. There is a lot of information, but the site still does not feel cluttered. At the top menu includes Calendar, News and Blogs, Congregational Life, Music, Faith Formation, Faith in Action, History, Webcasts, and the Gift Shop. There is also a search function. Before I visited the Trinity Wall Street Church in person, I browsed the Website thoroughly. I wanted to understand what the organization represented, and what their schedule of services was like. I learned that the Trinity Church is located on Broadway at Wall Street, and that their offices are nearby along with other service centers that are associated with the organization.

People often wonder why I decided to call my company “All Things Work Together, Inc.” The explanation for the name is based on an observation of life and our experiences. The name “All Things Work Together, Inc.” is an examination of how all of our life experiences and day-to-day actions all seem to work together and influence the world we experience now. Women often live lives that include an overlap, in a sense, of other lives. We are wives at the same time that we are mothers, sisters, employees, managers, and ourselves. Our male counterparts have that same existence. On any given day, at any given time, we are all able to pick and choose a hat to fit the role we must take on for that particular moment in time. However, in the process of taking on all of these roles, we often forget who we are. Are we a wife? Are we a mother? Are we a sister? Who are we? We are all of these. Even if we cannot play all of these roles at once, all of these roles exists within us. These many roles work together to create an individual being.
