...Peppercorn Dining is the diner on the campus of All-American University. The dynamics of the diner consists of fulltime workers, temporary workers, and student workers. The three partners of Square One Consulting; Roger, Lynn, and Erica, were having lunch at Peppercorn one afternoon; Erica worked at Peppercorn two years ago as a student worker. The manager of Peppercorn’s name is Drew Randall; he recognized Erica and came over to say high and chit chat with her about the “old days” when she worked at Peppercorn. During the course of their conversation, Erica asked Drew how things were currently operating; Drew replied by saying, “Staffing is a nightmare. We can’t find qualified people anywhere; recruiting and retention has become a constant challenge” (Cummings & Worley, 2008, p. 217). Of course, the other consultants were all ears and wanted to hear everything that Drew had to say. However, although Drew knew there were many symptoms of a much bigger problem, he had no idea what the “root” of the problem was. He would eventually enter into a contract with the consultants to get their unbiased, external point of view as to what the bigger problems really were at Peppercorn. The consultants would use various data collection methods involving the management, workers, and the customers to get a clearer picture as to what the actual problems were and why the students working at Peppercorn were unhappy and why recruitment for additional student help was unsuccessful.

...------------------------------------------------- Ohm's law From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the law related to electricity. For other uses, see Ohm's acoustic law. V, I, and R, the parameters of Ohm's law. Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directlyproportional to the potential difference across the two points. Introducing the constant of proportionality, the resistance,[1] one arrives at the usual mathematical equation that describes this relationship:[2] where I is the current through the conductor in units of amperes, V is the potential difference measured across the conductor in units of volts, and R is the resistance of the conductor in units of ohms. More specifically, Ohm's law states that the R in this relation is constant, independent of the current.[3] The law was named after the German physicist Georg Ohm, who, in a treatise published in 1827, described measurements of applied voltage and current through simple electrical circuits containing various lengths of wire. He presented a slightly more complex equation than the one above (see History section below) to explain his experimental results. The above equation is the modern form of Ohm's law. In physics, the term Ohm's law is also used to refer to various generalizations of the law originally formulated by Ohm. The simplest example of this is: where J is the current density at a given location in a resistive material, E is the electric...

...Chris Scott MAN5258 week-1 IV For your individual written work this week, consider what you have learned about how OD and planned change are different from other forms of organization change and imagine you are presenting a paper on OD to a group of MBA students. * Compare OD and planned change to other forms of organization change, illustrating the differences. * Discuss the emphasis of each type of change and its relevance in today’s business environment. Your assignment should be a minimum of 3-4 page(s) in length. Continual efforts are made by managers and leaders to imply a significant, not to mention successful change. Believe it or not some are exceptional at doing this, more than we tend to think, but there are certainly those who tremendously fail. Most of the time this is the difference between doing well and standing back and saying, "what happened"? People can attend school for years learning about leadership, management and business, there are not too many that teaches about the adaption to change or the analyzation of organizations, how to successfully identify and address the important aspects while applying an change to seamlessly undertake such priorities. The primary point of business is to be profitable and the most successful firms work to improve their efficiency, performance is the way to go. To obtain a full understanding of organizational development and change the agent implementing the change needs to have, at the minimum a general knowledge...

...Shaun “won’t even help out when we are short staffed,” yet Roger noticed that earlier on day two the student supervisors were busy refilling the salad and beverage stations and Shaun helped by restocking glasses and trays. Other questionable interviews include Lynn’s interview with Doug where he was careful to portray himself and the operation in a favorable light yet there was a feeling that he was conveying information he thought they wanted to hear because he may have been concerned about possible repercussions for negative responses under the impression she was in the union or with the health department. The interview and observe process of recording data gave them everything they needed to make decisions on what the problems were with Peppercorn. My only concern is that the person that asked them for help, Drew, will be leaving to manage another facility which begs the questions would their presence have any affect and if the feedback session would serve its...

...The folded napkin can have an elaborate placement on the table as a folded origami type or in a simple placement beside the dinner plates with a single napkin ring. Whatever the preference, the napkin will always be an eye-catching addition to any table setting. Napkin folding found its origins centuries ago. The Middle Age set a standard for table setting and manner as they became a major concern to people, particularly the royalty especially with the invention of the fork in the 1600s. This period in time is also a benchmark for when folding napkins became a highly pursued art for.

...PEPPERCORN DINNING CASESTUDY I. DIAGNOSIS From studying the whole case, looks like issues are primarily concentrated on group level. INPUT: Organization design is clearly the major input to group design. It consists of the design components characterizing the larger organization within which the group is embedded. Below is the mission statement and All-American dining organization’s goals and polices, which are the fundamentals of peppercorn dining. Though All American Dining encourage participatory decentralized management style, it seem like organization is highly centralized. However worker at unit level are interested in making their own decision. It also looks like there seems to be a lack of communication between management and line employees. It seems that there is general belief among line workers that the management of All-American Dining, as well as the management at Peppercorn doesn’t really care about them. Workers felt that no one cares about them , while there used to be time when personal director used to visit peppercorn dinning once a month as per All-American dinning policies and at that time workers used to feel that someone cared about them and appreciate their work. All the small groups at peppercorn felt that communication is major problem and management are not paying attention to their needs. Groups felt that things didn’t get done quickly specially problem related with repairs and maintenance because there is so much paperwork involved and...

...Jack Synesael Peppercorn Case Analysis Organization Development 10-11-2015 Question Responses: The partners from Square One Consulting seemed to have an extreme interest in the operations of Peppercorn Dining. Right from the beginning, with the help of Erica’s firsthand experience, each member was able to grasp a brief understanding of the daily procedures necessary for a successful day of service. Given such a brief time for data collection, each member seemed to do a good job at retrieving interview and observation data. One thing I noticed was the cohesiveness of Lynn, Roger and Erica. They never let a moment slip by without collecting some type of information and sharing it with each other. With respect to data gathering in general, I believe it was an affective attempt at diagnosis. With no set game plan, each member was able to sit down and converse with various members of the unit and still allow for normal day operations. No employees seemed to dislike their presence and each interview gave a unique viewpoint of the dining area with specific and useful data. However, the content of their data seemed to be a little unorganized and rushed. Seeing as though they only had a few days to collect and conduct their results, I understand their obstacles. Perhaps, they should have taken more time to display their results to show the vast areas for improvement. It didn’t seem like one specific area needed improvement, it consisted of various department issues. If they could...

...Week 6 Work Discussion After reading “Collecting and Analyzing Diagnostic Information,” please complete the following: 1. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods of data collection. Why is it important to use several methods of collecting data? With the four(4) methods for data collecting listed in the text: questionnaires, interviews, observation and unobtrusive measures. It is useful to use different methods for collecting data so that all information that the practitioner is trying to collect has significant data to give the best results for the task at hand, not every method will work for every situation, that is why it is necessary that tools, and resources are used to get the possible information. Questionnaires: Advantages: Administration is comparatively inexpensive and easy even when gathering data from large numbers of people spread over wide geographic area. Reduces chance of evaluator bias because the same questions are asked of all respondents Many people are familiar with surveys Some people feel more comfortable responding to a survey than participating in an interview Tabulation of closed-ended responses is an easy and straightforward process Disadvantages: Survey respondents may not complete the survey resulting in low response rates Items may not have the same meaning to all respondents Size and diversity of sample will be limited by people’s ability to read Given lack of contact with respondent...
