Part C

The Issue for the New Ipod Nano is Business and employment. Within the greater issue, questions related to economics qustions are raised.

Economic questions are raised because if a costumer of a health club is not satisfied with the policy surrounding ipods, and recording devices in the locker rooms, they could potentially change health clubs. already "Life Time Fitness, Chanhassen, MN, says the new iPod Nano will be included on the list of recording devices banned in the locker rooms of its 84 fitness facilities across 19 states." this artical came out right when the ipod came out so once more gyms find out about it and become more aware of this issue, it would be assumed that the 84 fitness areas and 9 states will jump up in number to include more gyms and more states. with gyms banning the ipod nano it creates customers who are upset, and who could find a new gym that still has polices that they agree with or has polices but do not inform them to the level that they should be.

The stake holders involved in business and employment are the health club owners, and the costumers. the benefits for the health club owners are that they can decided if they want to potentially be liable in a law suite if there is a issue of illegal recording of someone in the changing room, but a draw back is also if the do ban the new ipod nano is that people would be angry with them.

A benefit to the costumers who have the new ipod is the other software that the ipod has like the software that can track how far you have ran and how many calories you have burned. a draw back is that they might not be able to use the new ipod at the gym because the health club has banned it.

A benefit to the coustumers who don't have the ipod in question is that if the ban is in place they can feel safe to change in the locker room with out being video taped. and a drawback would be that they wish that they had the ipod but other than that there is not real drawback
