If you have had a class on game theory, you will be well aware of this concept. It forms the basis of many TV game shows.

After the men were captured, the police interrogated them separately. To get a confession, the police offered the men a reduced sentence for cooperating. Failure to cooperate would result in a death penalty charge for both. In the prisoner's dilemma, if both parties cooperate they are mildly punished; if one betrays another, one is severely punished while the other goes free; and if both betray one-another, both are moderately punished. Can you think of settings where you work in which the...

We had realized that the machines in Station 1 and Station 3 were operating at full capacity (i.e.100% utilization) when the demand was high. As a result, inventories were queuing up right before these two stations. We thought of buying both the machines but due to cash constraints we could afford to buy only one. We decided that our first move would be to buy a Station 1 machine. We decided that we would look at the lead time and then decide which one of the three contracts we should opt for. We also discussed the safety stock level that should be kept and the amount of quantity to be ordered (i.e. reorder quantity). Since the lead time of supplier was 4 days we decided that based on the average number of jobs we would keep the safety stock value. The Strategy and the Steps Carried out: Step 1: On Day 61 we bought the machine of Station 1 with $90,000. We saw that we were getting a lead time of about 2.3 days hence we chose Contract 1, in which we would receive $750 for completing the orders in minimum 7 days and maximum...

Training has implications for productivity, health and safety at work and personal development. The global competition and swiftness of changes emphasize the importance of human capital within organizations, as well as the swiftness and ways of knowledge gaining of that capital. In the economy where uncertainty is the only certainty, knowledge is becoming a reliable source of sustained competitive advantage. Knowledge is becoming basic capital and the trigger of development. Previously built on foundations of possessing specific resources and low costs, present day competition is based on knowledge possessing and efficient knowledge management. Modern organizations, therefore use their resources (money, time, energy, information, etc.) for permanent training and advancement of their employees. Organizations which are constantly creating new knowledge, extending it through the entire organization and implementing it quickly inside the new...

...LIA 1- Nursing Home For our first LIA project we went to Delvin Manor Health Care Center on Monday the 22nd from 2-4pm. The activity supervisor, Heather said that would be the best time to come because that is when they have to most people come and participate. We decided to make Kathryn the leader since she was really the one that took charge in the first place to line up a place for us to go to complete the volunteer work. She called around and was able to get one of the nursing homes to agree to let us come there. Management functions The four primary leadership functions are: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Planning involves deciding where to take a group and selecting steps to get there (Norman, 2016). Kathryn displayed planning when she took charge of what organization we were going to volunteer for. Leaders organize by bringing together physical, human and financial resources to achieve objectives (Norman, 2016). Kathryn displayed organization when she called Devlin Manor to set up a reasonable time slot that the group could attend by relaying this message to the rest of the group members. Leading requires managers to motivate employees to achieve business objectives and goals (Norman, 2016). Kathryn displayed the leading portion of the leadership function when we got to Devlin Manor. When we arrived, Kathryn got us checked in and positioned us to where she thought would be the best spot in the room to achieve the goal. Controlling is a function of management...
