Hello Professor Kallet, I have decided to do my term paper on L’Oreal. This company is a publicly traded company and it’s the largest cosmetic company in the world. L’Oreal is a vast company with a lot of different fields in which I can focus my term paper in. I myself am an employee at this company where I am starting a career in. which is a plus for me as I am driven to learn as much as I can about this company. I plan to write about the origin of this company, how much as it grown and how it has become the number one cosmetic company in the world. Their social responsibility and their culture, which I can attest first hand. In all the companies I have worked for there is none quite like L’Oreal. Corporate Selection Approved. This is a great choice since it is a diverse company with a great deal of public information available for analysis. One note of caution – General Mills has a very diverse group of product offerings that go well beyond just one or two categories. Make sure that your paper focuses on the ENTIRE company′s performance, not just a segment of it. Remember that the three key components of your paper are to: – Assess the organizations financial effectiveness and then make recommendations to improve their finance plans and results though the approaches, principles and methods learned in the class. – Perform an in- depth analysis of their management practices. – Conduct an analysis of their current managerial style and philosophy.
