2-1 Discussion: Needs of an Organization When researching what the essential needs are, many hierarchies came up, but I feel this hierarchy was the one that best describes the true needs and covers all of the aspects needed in this discussion. (Richards, 2015). The splitting the categories by existence, relatedness and growth needs was what stuck out to the me the most. Survival - survival for an organization requires the basics, economic needs: the "lubricant" for the organization to run, manpower needs: the people who do the work, and the basic tools: IT, phones, computers, etc... (Richards, 2015). Just like for a human, an organization must have the basic tools to begin thinking about ways to survive. Safety - Once survival has been completed, the safety tier can begin. Safety in an organization, safety requires that there is not imminent financial or other failure that could lead to closing the business or mass amounts of layoffs on the horizon. The organization must make sure that their employees have the sense that their jobs are safe, and that the safety of the organization is a high priority (Richards, 2015). Both survival and safety must take place in order for an organization to exist. Once those two tiers have been met to satisfactory standards, the organization can move on to the relatedness needs. Infrastructure - At the infrastructure tier, the organization will learn who it is, and develop that sense of self. It is within this tier that the organization begins to come up with measurements on how they will measure success, ways of reporting to stakeholders, developing a budget(s), creating communication systems, and developing a pay scale and compensation packages. The infrastructure tier is the development of a business strategy for the organization (Richards, 2015). Partnership - "refers to the need to complete the process of establishing self-worth by relating with others" (Richards, 2015). The partnering with stakeholders becomes most evident at this tier. Developing partnerships with investors, employees, communities, and customers will help fill the future needs the organization will come across. When these partnerships are successful, the organization will see the financial successes, as well as understanding, sharing, learning, and growth (Richards, 2015).

Actualization - This is the tier where the organization looks at the economic and social potential it has. Questions at this tier become more about how the organization produces in meaningful ways, rather than just in ways that are profitable. This tier is where we see the organizations invest in the community and the greater good of those in the surroundings. These community priorities become a huge part of the business model, and not just an occasional concern from leadership (Richards, 2015). To me, this model shows every aspect that a start up company must deal with in order to succeed. The most successful companies today, are still working at every level to make sure that the processes in place can meet the needs of all the stakeholders, not just one group of them. In the ever changing world we live in, the ability to adapt and change to the needs of the stakeholders is a must, and success is bred from those adaptations. Following the hierarchal structure presented above, can help the smallest company to the largest make sure that they have completed every tier, to be the most successful they can be in the future.

From what I have witnessed, it looks like the landfills close to where I reside where developed before the influx of people moving into the area, arrived. You cannot go a day without someone posting on a social media platform about the smell that is coming from the landfill. All the advantages of the compost company seem to be solid, as the waste that is needed for success is produced daily in various different ways, from various different walks of life. The one question that I can think of is, how does this online presence you mention, help build a customer base? Everywhere I have lived the HOA has an account with a compost company, and that is who you are stuck with while you are living within that HOA. If you are speaking more of on a commercial level, I could see that, but I do not know how having a prominent social media game would affect the commercial side, as usually whoever owns/manages the buildings will have that chosen for the company as well. Looking forward to collaborating more over this term. - Adam

Good afternoon, Ellisse, In Texas, we have electric car charging stations everywhere. From gas stations to grocery stores to the parking lot of my employer, these charging stations are everywhere. And in Arizona, where my family lives, it is now required for new houses to be built with a charging station for electric vehicles. I am not sure accessibility for charging stations is that big of a disadvantage these days. When Tesla first launched, the lack of charging stations was a huge turn off, but with the corporate social responsibilities of companies today, these charging stations are beginning to pop of everywhere. I do still feel the biggest disadvantage of the electric car market is the power, and length of time they are charged. Too many people have relied on and will continue to rely on gas powered vehicles due to the time it takes to fully charge, and the initial cost of the vehicle. The saying is "time heals all," but with the electric car market, that time will take a while to "heal" those of us who do not believe that the electric vehicle is truly worth it. Looking forward to collaborating more over this term. - Adam
