If Sergio starts his own business, the activities and policies of his company will affect many different groups and individuals, including employees, customers, creditors, suppliers, and those living in the community where his company is based. Which of the following statements reflects how Sergio should deal with these different groups? Sergio should:

• take into account the needs of all these groups and try to satisfy each group as much as possible.

• focus on meeting the needs of customers, as they are a key factor for the success of the business, but ignore the needs of other groups to keep costs low.

• satisfy the group that complains the loudest, following the philosophy of 'the squeaky wheel gets the grease'.

• focus on maximizing his profits and let everyone else take care of themselves.

When exploring options to start a new business, Sergio researched the tax implications and government regulations he would face. He wants to maintain an office at a location different from his home. He discovered that some neighboring communities offer tax credits and lower taxes compared to his town. Sergio's decision will be influenced by:

• demographic environment.

• technological environment.

• social-religious environment.

• economic and legal environment.

Two of Sergio's friends approached him with a proposal to start a language school. Sergio is fluent in English and Spanish, and also has a degree in education. Sergio is considering this idea but also wants to know if there is a growing demand for his services. He knows that an important demographic trend is:

• the service industry is likely to diminish in importance in the coming years.

• the number of young children in the U.S. will significantly decrease in the coming years as the country's population stabilizes.

• the number of immigrants from Central and South America is steadily increasing in his area, and nationwide. Professionals in hospitals and schools need to know how to speak Spanish. Immigrants need to know how to speak English.

• the number of retirees is decreasing, paving the way for a younger generation.

Sergio's disappointment with the lack of freedom and flexibility in his work shows that Bigbux:

• prioritizes the use of cross-functional teams over individual initiatives.

• does not apply a delegation strategy.

• knows that the best way to ensure good customer service is to closely monitor its lower-level employees.

• is trying to please customers as well as other stakeholders.

When exploring his options, Sergio notices that some opportunities seem riskier than others. When considering different opportunities, Sergio should remember that:

• he will be better off choosing a low-risk business opportunity, as the safest opportunities are often the ones with the highest returns.

• although some opportunities seem riskier than others, the actual level of risk changes very little from one opportunity to another.

• high-risk business opportunities often have the potential for high returns.

• government regulations are in place to protect investors and entrepreneurs from failure, so there is no need to worry about risk.
