Ownership

Conglomerate definition - A conglomerate corporation is a corporation that is made up of a number of different, seemingly unrelated businesses. In a conglomerate, one company owns a controlling stake in a number of smaller companies, which conduct business separately. Each of a conglomerates subsidiary businesses runs independently of the other business divisions, but the subsidiaries management reports to senior management at the parent company.

Independent - An independent business is a business that is free from outside control. It usually means a privately owned establishment, as opposed to a public limited company, the latter of which is owned by investment shares traded in the stock market. In many cases, independent businesses are sole proprietorship companies

An example of a conglomerate   - an example of a successful conglomerate is general electrical, popularly known as GE general electrical, formed by thomas edison in 1890, began as a lighting business and has since transformed into a conglomerate that is more synonymous with 'general' than 'electric'

An example of an independent business - An independent business could be something such as a clothing line run by one person 

What are the pros and cons of a conglomerate - 

Theories

The Todorov narrative structure is the theory that every movie has a equilibrium(where everything is normal and happy)then comes the disruption(where something goes wrong), the resolution and lastly the new equilibrium where everything goes normal again and everyone is happy. This theory can be demonstrated through the scene in ‘Toy Story’ when Buzz Lightyear arrives. 


In the scene there is no equilibrium however it jumps straight to the disruption, which is buzz lightyear.
















Then comes Woodys attempt of the resolution where he tries to bring everything back to normal by trying to prove to the rest of the toys that he's just as good as Buzz lightyear


















Lastly the scene gets a new equilibrium but not due to woody, however it was because Buzz lightyear took over Woodys position as the leader and everything went back to normal but with him instead.
