The items I found the most interesting while researching Transnational Corporation (TNC) website are the acquisition of other companies and corporate regulations. While researching Verizon Wireless there was an interesting article about how Verizon has acquired AOL (AOL). This was interesting because these two companies were competitors at one point for internet customers, but now Verizon is overtaking the market. The research into the Wells Fargo Corporate website had an interesting section about corporate regulations on the financial industry, because it seems that the increased regulations cause the company to be less profitable (Wells Fargo). When looking through the Fortune 500 website I was surprised to see failing companies such as Fannie Mae on the list (Fortune 500). This was unexpected because I was not expecting to see a failing company such as Fannie Mae higher on the list (#17) than a profitable company such as Microsoft (#31) (Fortune 500).
The Transnational Corporation I will be researching throughout the quarter is The Trump Organization. The Trump Organization has been successfully building hotels and golf courses nationwide and worldwide since 1999. I chose The Trump Organization as the TNC to research this quarter because The Trump Organization empowers the employees and provides opportunities, but the employee has to take the initiative to make the opportunity successful. I am interested in this company because of the high quality branding associated with the company and opportunities available. In The Trump Organization there are plenty of opportunities for advancement if the employee is willing to put in the quality work and efforts to prove their abilities.
