Jim Mueller, the proprietor, started the software manufacturing and distribution company when he was still working as a professor at the local college, but now he enjoys being in the fast-paced technology industry. Growth and expansion were easy for Jim, thanks to his knowledge, his contacts, and the pool of readily available workers from which to choose.

Going into the sixth year, Jim continues to serve the same target market with customer support and lengthy projects.

These factors include effective planning and decision-making with a systematic approach that considers the available information, the goals and objectives of the organization, and the potential outcomes of different decisions.

When he first took over the business a year ago, Davis had worried that the local labor shortage might make it difficult to hire good workers. But he had made some contacts at a local college and hired a group of servers who worked well with customers and with one another. The only problem he still had not solved was the dishwasher. At first Davis felt lucky when he found Eddie Munz, a local high school dropout who had some experience washing dishes. Davis could not afford to pay a dishwasher more than $4 an hour, but Eddie did not seem to mind that. Moreover, Eddie seemed to get the dishes clean. But he was so slow! Davis originally thought Eddie just was not quick about anything, but he changed his mind as he observed his behavior in the kitchen.

- Adam is a baker who lives in a small village in France. He owns a small shop together with his brother, Hayden, and his nephew Ryan. The three of them worked well together—Adam did all of the baking in the kitchen, Ryan attended to the customers, and Hayden delivered flour every day from the small flourmill that he owned nearby. Adam relied on both his brother and his nephew in order to keep the bakery running. He was glad that he did not need to rely on strangers to run his business. One day, however, Hayden decided that he wanted to move back to his home village in Iceland. He sold his flourmill and used the money to buy a house in Iceland for him and Ryan to live in. Because it would be impossible for him to keep running the shop all on his own, Adam was faced with a decision—he had to either find a new flour supplier and a new person to work in his shop, or he would be forced to close it altogether. He decides to try to find a new supplier of flour. Hayden refers him to Austin, who…arrow_forwardAdam is a baker who lives in a small village in France.

He had envisioned an online shirt-reselling business and started it with some of his friends as soon as he graduated. As the shirt-reselling market has grown year by year, he received the investment for the business and could set up an office. The venture has expanded rapidly, but the ways to handle tasks have not been effective thus far. Before starting a venture, Sam was close to his friends; however, they had not known each other well. Even after doing a business, Sam needed to engage in most of the tasks. Sam feels that the ways of working with other members must change to catch up with the dynamic market more effectively. Also, it needs to hire new employees. Foremost, he wants new employees to excel at teamwork. It needs to set up a short training session for newcomers; however, Sam is not sure how to accurately explain what it means to be an “effective team member” during the session. a.
