What is strategic change?
Strategic Change:Strategic Change means changing the organizational Vision, Mission, Objectives and ofcourse the adopted strategy to achieve those objectives.Strategic change is defined as " changes in the content of a firm's strategy as defined by its scope, resource deployments, competitive advantages, and synergy"(Hofer and Schendel 1978)Strategic change is defined as a difference in the form, qualiity, or state over time in organization's alignment with its external environment (Rajagopalan & Spreitzer, 1997 Van de Ven & Pool, 1995).Considering the definition of strategic change, strategic change could be affected by the states of firms and their external environments. Because the performance of firms might dependent on the fit between firms and their external environments, the appearances of novel opportunities and threats in the external environments, in other words, the change of external environments, require firms to adapt to the external environments again; as a result, firms would change their strategy in response to the environmental changes. The states of firms will also affect the occurrence of strategic change. For example, firms tend to adopt new strategies in the face of financial distress for the purpose of breaking the critical situations. Additionally, organizations would possess structural inertia that they tend to keep their previous structure and strategy (Hannan & Freeman, 1984).However, the former research on strategic change has not shown expected empirical results. To explain the unexpected empirical results, Rajagopalan and Spreitzer (1997)suggests that the external environment could not be constantly decided; it would be decided depending on the decision maker's cognition of external environment. Therefore, the occurrence of strategic change would be related to their cognition of external environment.Based on the argument of Rajagopalan and Spreitzer (1997), the factors which affect decision maker's cognition of external environment would affect strategic change.

What is the explanation for the factors affecting consumption?
There are many different factors that affect a consumers consumption. Taxes are one example. To a consumer who likes tp spend or "borrow" high taxes are bad because income falls reducing their tendency to spend. If a consumer is a saver then increase to taxes will likely increase their choice to save, being a saver and not so much a consumer.Economic factors also affect consumer such as the stock market. Today we see S&P and NYSE lows around 1997 levels. This lack of "consumer confidence" causes a change in consumption. More specifically, there is a lack of consumption or a decrease in consumption because people are more incline to become savers seeing that their money is depreciating in the stock market. However stock market troubles are a person by person basis. One consumer may see a stagnant stock market as an opportunity to make a profit on low stocks. Their individual consumption may rise while other consumers consumption falls. However, the common consensus in a falling stock market like the one in today's recession is to hold onto money and stock consuming.
Do you believe that employees of a company have an ethical obligation to first attempt to report wrong-doing to members of the company itself or should they go straight to the authorities when they su?
This is a very tender and touchy question to answer because companies and most organizations are set up upon ranks of hierocracy and an organizational tree system. Therefore, reporting wrongdoing to members of a company first or authorities really depend on where in a company the wrongdoing is taking place. My opinion would be that if it is a large company and the wrongdoing is taking place on the lower end of the company I would most likely report it to member who are higher up in the company. If the wrongdoing does not stop or the company from the top is committing the wrongdoing, I will first proceed to report it to the authorities. The advantages of reporting illegal activity to a company first is that it allows a company the chance to correct their wrongdoings. However, the disadvantages could be harmful. An employee could lose their job, when reported they could go through many red tape, receive manipulation politically, and even die. Reporting illegal activity to authorities first has advantages like the "NWC" National Whistle Blower Center who broadcast the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2009 on their website of what their protection should be(Williams, 1997 - 2008). The advantages are to relieve fear and retaliations that may occur which are amoungst the disadvantages. Other advantage if it is authenthic honest and truthful is that reporting wrongdoings of a company the whistleblower recieves percentages of the legal fees incurred which could results in the millions of dollars. Lastly I would like to add to an disadvantage of reporting illegal activity. Besides from experiecining the process of a lawsuit and trial if a person is found to have claimed a friviluos lawsuit that would tarnish their reputation as an ethical person and prevent them from getting a job in the future.
