1.3 Movie theater



This organizational chart represents the hierarchy of the personnel in Commonwealth 10 Movie Theater. At the top of the chart is the Chief Information Officer (CIO) who oversees the strategic planning of the organization. Below the CIO are three departments responsible for the functions of the theater and headed by a manager.

The Support department job is to handle all of the functions needed for the rest of the departments to do their jobs. We have a database administrator who oversees the business part of the prices and the amount of tickets sales the theater sales.

The Development department handles all new projects for creating new ideas that the theater can consider doing. The Mangers and the directors oversee all of the employees and make sure they are doing their job correctly and keeping the customers happy.  The ticket men are in charge of selling movie tickets and the concession men are in charge of selling food and drinks to the customers.

The Maintenance department job is to keep all theaters and bathrooms clean. Inside of the theaters after every movie they should sweep and vacuum every aisle in the theater. Lastly, inside of the bathroom customers normally go to use them directly after the movie is over, so while the movie is playing every stall should be cleaned spotless.

Choice of 3-5 most important job functions:

If I were to pick three of the most important job functions, I would have to choose the CIO, the ticket and concession men, and the managers and directors. The CIO would manage all operations. The CIO should also be up to knowledge with everything that goes on inside the theater. The ticket and concession men are the employees who keep the business running and making its profits. Lastly, the managers keep the ticket and concession men in check just in case they start to slack off or aren’t doing their job correctly.

3.1 Value Chain Analysis




The purpose of the value chain analysis of the Commonwealth 10 movie theater is to help explain step how our theater operates. We created and designed it on gliffy.com.  Our goal was to have a competitive advantage over many theaters being that we sell our tickets online. Our business process is to make our customers happy by implementing the electronic commerce system by selling tickets online which guarantees every customer an available seat in their desired movie. Commonwealth 10 also invented the automating ticket box, which help our customer move swiftly and smoothly through the line if they plan to pay by credit or debit card. 

3.2 Sell your Idea

Implementing a business based off of fear, faith and faith limits most of the arguments that the business managers mostly deals with. Faith has to deal with believing in your business and that other competition won’t bankrupt your business. Fear is being scared to try something new because your business to succeed. Lastly, Fact deals with in actuality whose business is honestly going to succeed and make profits. In Commonwealth 10 our fact is aiming to keep manageable prices for our customers and hold a very welcoming staff. If the customers are happy and pleased then they will normally come back again and/or recommend our business to family and friends making our business to grow.

2.2 Enabling Global Payments at PayPal

Online shoppers know how easy it is to buy something online, but when it came time to make your purchase sending cash or checks through the mail was not accurate and/or took a long time. By inventing PayPal makes online shopping a quick and easy way to transfer money. When it comes time to make a payment for a web product the customer just enters their credit card number in and it will automatically charge the money to your account. I think PayPal has been so successful throughout the world is because people trust this method because it is a quick and easy way of transferring money to another account. In security customers information is confidential and secure. PayPal has increase their globalization by expanded clients to abroad and is charging fees for payment processing for a wide variety of online vendors. They also offer special merchant accounts for transferring large amounts of money.

2.1 Global Picture sharing: Flickr

Flickr.com was developed in 2002 in Canada and is now owned by Yahoo. It is now the easiest and most popular means of sharing photos online. Flickr did not invent online photo sharing, but they did invent a method called “tagging.” It lets the photo owners and viewers put a label on the picture so they can subscribe to in and share it with whomever they please. The use of photo sharing and tagging individuals into pictures created a term called “folksonomy.” This is simply when the viewers of the pictures can comment on the photos.

Flickr.com main enablers that keeps their business running is their specialization is selling photos, finding photos, and being able to stay in touch with family and friends through a social gathering. Since family and friends can’t always be in person with the ones they love, it allows them to not miss a minute of their life and watch kids grow and mature through the use of pictures.
