Please Provide a two full detailed paragraphs discussing how this trend may affect your firm and how it is affected by innovation in modern business management.

Globally, the business landscape is changing in many ways and innovation isn’t just prized in the Bloomberg Index; it’s the only way for businesses to compete. Businesses need to adapt in order to stay competitive in the global economy. Here are three ways the business landscape is evolving and how businesses can grow alongside it to stay up to date.

1. Freelance talent

Freelancers represent a much larger group of workers today than in the past. According to a 2014 study released by the Freelancers Union, 53 million Americans are freelance workers, making up approximately 34 percent of the total workforce. This figure includes 21.1 million independent contractors, 14.3 million moonlighters, 9.3 million diversified workers, 5.5 million temporary workers and 2.8 freelance business owners. The total number of freelancers is expected to increase 50 percent by 2020.

Freelance work is far more flexible than typical nine-to-five employment. And as technology allows people to get more work accomplished remotely, many are turning to freelance work as a means of better maintaining a healthier work life balance. This means some of the best talent on the marketplace are working as freelancers and businesses that want to tap into that talent must look into hiring freelancers.

"Businesses are finally realizing that to attract the best talent, they need to change the way they think about employment. The desire for flexibility and work/life balance is one of the primary reasons why we are seeing a much greater percentage of freelancers in the workforce today,” says Erin Yoffe Halper, Founder and CEO of The Upside.

Additionally, embracing independent contractors can be a way to get more done in less time while cutting costs. Hiring skilled freelancers can give companies the highly experienced talent they often need to quickly rollout projects or increase output without burdening their teams. Often times adding too much to the workload of permanent employees can lead to burnout and work quality may be sacrificed. But freelance workers can take on these additional duties at lower costs than hiring additional full-time employees. CIOs are finding out that processes must be identified, documented, and optimized before they’re ready for robotic process automation – and that humans aren’t always a reliable data source for this.

“Businesses that begin to embrace the concept of creating a talent assortment of full-time and freelance workers to maximize efficiencies will be the businesses that attract the best talent. Like any technology or economic evolution, there is a first-mover advantage to embracing the freelance movement,” advises Halper.

2. Digital infrastructure

As recently as a decade ago, entrepreneurs looking to start a new business often had to come up with a large sum of start-up capital. They’d often have to pay for a physical space to operate their business, along with all the other necessary supplies. They’d also need the funds to pay for upkeep, utilities, and other infrastructure costs. But the days of having to take on all the costs of starting or running a business are long gone.

With new technology, there are endless ways to be cost effective and grow your business. For example, in today's digital world, companies can forego the cost of building and maintaining data centers on their premises. Instead, they can purchase Infrastructure as a Service and save on the cost of servers, storage and hardware.

"Replacing cloud storage and providing processor and memory allows businesses to accomplish resource-intensive projects involving computer-generated imagery, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality at an affordable price," says Michael Stollaire, President and CEO of Titanium, a blockchain-infrastructure provider.

Retailers know they need to evolve, even though they can’t do it overnight. But while there’s no silver bullet for transforming culture, collaboration, and workflows inside a large organization, there are steps you can take to make sure your business is receptive. This is especially beneficial for technology startups, who have innovative ideas but not the infrastructure to launch or operate them.

3. New money

Small mom and pop businesses have their charms. But nowadays cash-only establishments will have a hard time drawing customers. And thanks to tech companies like Square Inc., the now-ubiquitous mobile-payment application, it no longer makes sense for businesses not to accept all forms of payment. Many mobile payment providers often charge businesses lower rates for transactions than major financial institutions. Square charges a flat rate of 2.75 percent for swiped transactions, 3.5 percent + $0.15 for keyed transactions, and 2.9 percent + $0.30 for online transactions. And they don’t charge monthly fees or statement fees.

But nowadays the use of mobile transaction apps is even common place in some markets. Other more technologically advanced businesses are adopting other kinds of payment methods that allow customers to pay with their smartphones. Companies like Google, Apple and Samsung have all created their own payment apps and it will be important for businesses to become early adopters of these payment applications in order to set themselves apart from their competitors.

And the next wave in the financial world for businesses is embracing cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. Lots of people are investing their money in these currencies and businesses looking to get ahead of the curve should look for ways to get in on the ground floor.

Write a Java Program to place a pizza ordering program. It creates a pizza ordered to the specifications that the user desires. It walks the user through ordering, giving the user choices, which the program then uses to decide how to make the pizza and how much the cost of the pizza will be. Note: Use dialog boxes for communicating with the user. Remember to use the JOptionPane class which is the graphical user interface (GUI) and Comments that are not read by the computer, they are for use by the programmer. They are to help a programmer document what the program does and how it accomplishes it. This is important when a programmer needs to modify code that is written by another person.

Task 1. Name the program, PizzaOrder.java ( Ask the customer the following Question using the message box then the summary of the order should show up in the console )

2. Write a welcome message that said, “Welcome to ___________________ Pizza.”

Williams-Santana, Inc., is a manufacturer of high-tech industrial parts that was started in 2009 by two talented engineers with little business training. In 2021, the company was acquired by one of its major customers. As part of an internal audit, the following facts were discovered. The audit occurred during 2021 before any adjusting entries or closing entries were prepared. The income tax rate is 25% for all years.

1. A five-year casualty insurance policy was purchased at the beginning of 2019 for $39,500. The full amount was debited to insurance expense at the time.
2. Effective January 1, 2021, the company changed the salvage value used in calculating depreciation for its office building. The building cost $636,000 on December 29, 2010, and has been depreciated on a straight-line basis assuming a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $100,000. Declining real estate values in the area indicate that the salvage value will be no more than $25,000.
3. On December 31, 2020, merchandise inventory was overstated by $29,500 due to a mistake in the physical inventory count using the periodic inventory system.
4. The company changed inventory cost methods to FIFO from LIFO at the end of 2021 for both financial statement and income tax purposes. The change will cause a $1,005,000 increase in the beginning inventory at January 1, 2022.
5. At the end of 2020, the company failed to accrue $17,300 of sales commissions earned by employees during 2020. The expense was recorded when the commissions were paid in early 2021.
6. At the beginning of 2019, the company purchased a machine at a cost of $810,000. Its useful life was estimated to be ten years with no salvage value. The machine has been depreciated by the double-declining balance method. Its book value on December 31, 2020, was $518,400. On January 1, 2021, the company changed to the straight-line method.
7. Warranty expense is determined each year as 1% of sales. Actual payment experience of recent years indicates that 0.75% is a better indication of the actual cost. Management effects the change in 2021. Credit sales for 2021 are $4,900,000; in 2020 they were $4,600,000.

In an article titled "Learning To Keep Learning" in the New York Times, dated December 13, 2006, Thomas L. Friedman states:

"I listened to this with mixed emotions. Part of me said 'Gosh, wouldn't it be nice to have a government that was so focused on innovation -- instead of one that is basically anti-science.' My other emotion was skepticism. Oh, you know the line: Great Britain dominated the 19th century, America dominated the 20th and now China is going to dominate the 21st. It's game over.

"No question, China has been able to command an impressive effort to end illiteracy, greatly increasing its number of high school grads and new universities. But I still believe it is very hard to produce a culture of innovation in a country that censors [Google] which for me is a proxy for curtailing people's ability to imagine and try anything they want. You can command K-12 education. But you can't command innovation. Rigor and competence, without freedom, will take China only so far. China will have to find a way to loosen up, without losing control, if it wants to be a truly innovative nation."
