Article Evaluation: Bank Fraud
This article was found in the WikiProjects page. It is one about the concept of Bank Fraud. The article is an extremely underdeveloped one, hence why it is in the WikiProject page. That being said, it seems to cover all of the different types of bank fraud. The article expands to many subtopics relating to Bank Fraud, fully encompassing the subject. Unfortunately, each of these subsections have very little information. In order to improve it, each of these subtopics should be worked on. This can be done by using more examples or specific instances where the different types of bank fraud were committed. Examples are rare in this article and could provide the reader with a much deeper understanding of the subject and how it is divided. The article also does not state the audience who commits bank fraud very clearly. This information is essential on the subject. Towards the first half of the article, it seems that bank fraud in the United States is addressed. However, later in the article, the global concept of bank fraud is introduced. It would be helpful to the reader if the article speaks of bank fraud in a global aspect through the introduction. The information on Bank Fraud is not really one that changes much with time but there hasn't been any significant edits on the article since 2017. In fact, there haven't really been any conversations going on about the article since then. In terms of organization, the article could be clearer on addressing which titles are subtitles and which are not. The article does not keep a uniform size for the titles of the different sections in the article, possibly confusing the reader. Finally, the sourcing in this article has been done well so far. The links that I checked all worked and led me to the sources addressed. There are sections of the article that rely heavily on one source but this is addressed in bold, letting the reader know that some sections may be biased. Towards the end, the sourcing on the information declines. There are some sections that have missing sources and should be updated with proper sourcing.

= Assigned Article: Business Development =

(EDITED) Business development entails tasks and processes to develop and implement growth opportunities within and between organizations. It is a subset of the fields of business, commerce and organizational theory. Business development is the creation of long-term value for an organization with customers and markets through building relationships. Business development can mean any activity by either a small or large organization, non-profit or for-profit enterprise which serves the purpose of ‘developing’ or advancing the business in some way. This can range from increasing sales on an old product or creating something new to open itself to a new market. Due to the wide span of the subject, it is difficult to pinpoint one behavior as "Business development". Business development activities can be done internally or externally and can be helped by a business development consultant.External business development can be facilitated through Planning Systems, which are put in place by governments to help small businesses. In addition, reputation building has also proven to help facilitate business development.

Facilitated Development:
Business Development is affected by external factors. "Planning Systems" are systems set in place in order to regulate businesses. In many cases, ruling agencies deem the necessary for business survival. There is a section of Business that is dedicated to facilitating ethical business development in developing countries. In the early 2000s, Business Ethics was dedicated to helping the Businesses in need that are in these countries. However, due to lots of backlash from critics, they have changed their focus into helping businesses that are going to help the most amounts of people develop. These policies have improved the quality of life of the people. However, this facilitation changes the norms and, in turn, harms some groups. In order to enforce the new policies in an ethical manner Business Ethicists have created a cost-benefit analysis, placing an emphasis on basic necessities. These concerns have become so great that Business Ethicists have created a new department called Development Ethics. Now, instead of simply helping developing businesses, international business developers have begun ensuring that the companies keep basic human rights in mind. This especially applies to countries where the laws are not so strict and allow for abuse to take place. These development policies now have to follow the criteria that Penz created, consisting of: security, empowerment, rights, equity, integrity, and cultural freedom. The idea of providing people with human rights in order to facilitate business development can be seen through the rapid development of China in the last few decades. The policies that were implemented in the last couple decades coincide with these developments. In the 1980s, government policies facilitated the rice in literacy rate and education. The following decade, healthcare coverage increased significantly. This development was not originally seen as monetary capital, but instead, it was seen as human capital. With more workers able to bring skill and maximum effort to their workplace, companies were able to develop extremely rapidly.

Reputation Building:
With companies becoming more and more conscious of ethical practices, closely watching themselves to avoid scrutiny, a company's reputation has become a great concern. Ethical business practices are closely tied with reputation which makes it essential to follow ethical guidelines if a company is looking to build their reputation. In fact, Businesses that develop quickly and successfully have tendencies to show honesty, impartiality, and service to all of their stakeholders. In order for a company to be considered "ethical", it must cater to the needs of the customer, keeping their best interest in mind. This will influence customers to make repeated purchases and lead to more profit. In order for a company to build a strong reputation with their suppliers, it is crucial for them to focus on impartial business interactions and developing long relationships. These relationships can lead to mutually beneficial business deals for both the company and its supplier. With the employees, they must take their interests into consideration and facilitate teamwork as opposed to rigorous competition. This ensures that the company will keep their most loyal and dedicated employees for as long as possible. Funding for further development can rise when a company is able to develop strong relationship with each stakeholder individually, and ethically. This is based on the concept of reciprocation, which states how in order for social change to take place between groups of people, trust must be built between them through mutually beneficial actions. This can be supported through the results of a questionnaire study that was conducted on technology industries in GTSM and TSE. In addition, in order for a company to practice business ethics, and ensure strong business development, it is essential to maintain a positive relationship with the environment. With concerns about the recent decline of the environment increasing, stakeholders have become more involved in efforts to preserve resources and a negative impact on the environment brings about risks of damaging stakeholder relationships.
