A Manager’s Woes Kyle Peschken has been a manager for the discount store Zelmart for the past two years. It’s time for his annual performance review, and Kyle would like to make a big impression on the corporate staff. Walking through the store, he makes a mental note of which departments need to be straightened, which ones need to be reorganized, and which employees he’d like to schedule during the week of his review. And then he sees it—blocking the aisles, creating commotion, and looking very unprofessional—the long line in the electronics department. It’s time to confront Chris, the sales clerk. “Chris, what’s the holdup here?” “I’mwaiting for a manager to approve this $120 check. And then I have to show this lady a digital camera from the display cabinet. She’s been waiting half an hour, and then . . . .” “Alright

- When the idea first occurred to her, it seemed like such a win-win situation. Now she wasn't so sure. Marge Brygay was a hardworking sales rep for Inspire Learning Corporation, a company intent on becoming the top educational software provider in five years. That newly adopted strategic goal translated into an ambitious, million-dollar sales target for each of Inspire's sales reps. At the beginning of the fiscal year, her share of the sales department's operational goal seemed entirely reasonable to Marge. She believed in Inspire's products. The company had developed innovative, highly regarded math, language, science, and social studies programs for the K— 12 market. What set the software apart was a foundation in truly cutting-edge research. Marge had seen for herself how Inspire programs could engage whole classrooms Of normally unmotivated kids; the significant rise in scores on those increasingly important standardized tests bore Out her subjective impressions. Bur now, just days before the end of the year, Marge's sales were $1,000 short of her million-dollar goal. The sale that would have put her comfortably over the top fell through due to last-minute cuts in one large school system's budget. At first, she was nearly overwhelmed with frustration, but then it occurred to her that if she contributed $1,000 to Central High, the inner-city high school in her territory probably most in need of what she had for sale, they could purchase the software and put her over the top. Her scheme would certainly benefit Central High students. Achieving her sales goal would make Inspire happy, and it wouldn't do her any harm, either professionally or financially. Making the goal would earn her a $10,000 bonus check that would come in handy when the time came to write out that first tuition check for her oldest child, who had just been accepted to a well-known, private university. Initially, it seemed like the perfect solution all the way around. The more she thought about it, however, the more it didn't quite sit well with her conscience. Time was running out. She needed to decide what to do. 1. Donate the $1,000 to Central High, and consider the $10,000 bonus a good return on your investment.arrow_forwardPrepare a flowchart of the field service division process atDEF, as described here.

- Tree Trimming ProjectWil Fence is a large timber and Christmas tree farmer who is attending a project man-agement class in the spring, his off season. When the class topic came to earned value, he was perplexed. Isn’t he using EV? Each summer Wil hires crews to shear fields of Christmas trees for the coming Holiday season. Shearing entails having a worker use a large machete to shear the branches of the tree into a nice, cone-shaped tree. Wil describes his business as follows:A. I count the number of Douglas Fir Christmas trees in the field (24,000).B. Next, I agree on a contract lump sum for shearing with a crew boss for the whole field ($30,000).C. When partial payment for work completed arrives (5 days later), I count or estimate the actual number sheared (6,000 trees). I take the actual as a percent of the total to be sheared, multiply the percent complete by total contract amount for the partial payment [(6,000/$30,000 = 25%), (.25 × $30,000 = $7500)].1.

- iChange Management Plan Part 2: Peppercorn Dining AnalysisBackground:Revisit the mini-case study Peppercorn Dining from Module 7, and review the discussion posts in response to each mini-case question. How consultants see organizational issues will, in part, determine how the feedback process will be designed. Choosing a diagnostic/analytic model is no small issue. There is no evidence in the case that a particular diagnostic model is driving the data collection process (a potential problem), and there are at least two models that would work. First, the consultants could use an individual based model—such as the one described in Chapter 5. For each job at Peppercorn, the consultants could ask what their data reveals about task identity, skill variety, task significance, autonomy, and feedback in the context of Peppercorn’s structure. But this is a more limited perspective and not as good a choice. Perhaps more relevant in this case, would be an organization-level diagnostic model such…arrow_forwardHow benchmark jobs can be identified explain with appropriate examples?

- At the end of Avondale Industries’ fiscal year, the training and development office reviewed its budget and found that, due to the cancellation of two training programs, there were still funds left to spend. With just two weeks in which to spend the money, the training director put together a program to train employees who were transferring from the avionics division to the new adhesives and sealants division. The training was held but there was not enough time to consult with managers in the adhesives and sealants division to set learning objectives for the skills needed in the new division. A month later, the training director was asked to provide another training as the employees did not have the knowledge, skills, and abilities for their new jobs. Why is it important that a thorough analysis of training needs be conducted prior to holding a training program? Understanding the needs of the new division will help supervisors identify which employees need the training the most.…arrow_forwardIn reference to an Human Resource Management course 4th year college course at Malone University using the following textbook: Gomez-Mejia, L.
