...Brief background and context: Junior salesperson ("Seth"), an assistant on the non-dollar derivative desk of FirstAmerica (“FA”), finds himself in a difficult situation and has to decide what course of action to take as relates to going along with misrepresenting material facts to a key client, Poseidon, in conjunction with their hedging of French Franks relating to the $700 million equivalent cost of the five year construction of a new cruise ship. Seth is a relatively new employee at FA and was recruited by one of his key managers, a salesperson named Linda. Linda is asking Seth to “play along” with her questionable sales tactics so as to make the trading desk at FA a huge profit and herself a very large $1 million bonus. Seth would earn a bonus of about 70% of his base salary. Seth is ethically conflicted, as he does not feel that Linda’s tactics are honest and perhaps even legal. Who are the key players involved: (i) “Seth” – the junior salesperson at FA (ii) Linda – a top salesperson on the FX desk at FA and Seth’s boss; recruited Seth in (iii) Roger – floor trader at FA (iv) Peter – Sales Manager for Derivatives at FA (v) CFO of Poseidon What are the main issues/allegations? (i) Is fraud being committed by any or all of the following: a. Sending the Telerate page that grosses up for withholding tax, but withholding tax does not apply to cross currency swaps b. Convincing the CFO of Poseidon that the deal needs to remain secret...

...Instruments The new pay system at Alliston Instruments isn’t working because the production standards set in place for employees to earn bonuses based on individual output on some tasks are set too high and there is also no way to compare the per-hour production rate for each item or assembly operation from 2012 to the production rate of 2013 for employees to receive bonuses for each piece produced because detailed records were never kept. The new system also doesn’t favor supervisors because they make less money than some of the workers and it creates increasing conflict with employees, as they don’t care about the quality of the products the produce as long as the output meets minimum standards. The individual production bonus system could work if some changes are made to the system to make it better. One such way would be to keep detail records of the per-hour production rate for each item to be able to compare them to that of the following year so that the bonuses can be given out effectively. Another way would be to set a standard of quality that all employees can follow to make sure all items produced are done effectively and there is less waste of raw materials. The final way would be to give bonuses to the supervisors also for the amount of workers they supervise that surpasses the past years levels. I don’t believe that the individual performance pay is suitable for this company because it brings about conflict between the workers and the supervisors...

...support high performance. As a result, Sysco compensation strategies are performance based. Driver and warehouse workers compensation at Sysco is primarily activity based. Their activity based performance is dependent upon each individual’s productivity level. The drivers for example have control over their route as if running their own business. A driver will have a number of elements that dictate the pay he or she will receive depending upon their route and pounds of products delivered to the customer. Also, as an added bonus, when a driver finishes their route early, they are free to leave for the day. This type of performance based pay extends throughout the entire company in various forms from the chairman of the company to the frontline workers. Executives and managers at Sysco receive pay based incentives in the form of bonuses and stock options. The greater their performance in regards to achieving company objectives, the greater bonus they will receive. Sysco uses a percentage program when evaluating the managers and executives for their bonuses and stock options. Having a job is always positive, but having a great paying job that actually rewards you for...

...on improved company performance for increased productivity, increased customer satisfaction, lowers costs or better safety records” Martocchio, J. J. (2015). P86. For CircleWorks specifically, gain sharing implemented on multiple levels, beginning with teamwork bonuses. Having a strong team will not only increase productivity for CircleWorks but it will increase ideas coming from employees themselves. Since CircleWorks already has multiple teams that work well together, the teams will need to be mixed up. CircleWorks will select a few individuals from each team and integrating them with a team that may not work as well, forcing new teams to be created. Teams with the most productivity can be put into a raffle for a free group lunch or a bonus created by management. Increasing teamwork at CircleWorks will implement the leadership component of gain sharing, as teams will also be encouraged to discuss options for the company and bring them to management. Root III, Demand Media, G. N. (n.d.). The second component of gain sharing is employee involvement, which has already begun in the leadership component. In addition to creating teams and encouraging them to bring ideas to the team, team meetings will be held monthly to discuss options. “Regular staff meetings can serve to remind employees that there is more going on than their own issues and deadlines and may see opportunities for mutual support and collaboration, let alone obtain vital information from each other.” Workplaces...

...There are bonuses that are given to those who do not win their bets, these are called cash back bonuses. The beauty of these incentives is that they take some of the sting out of a lost wager. Each sports book website will calculate the cash back bonus differently, though there is some continuity between each platform. The average percentage of cash back given on a lost wager is 20%. However, other fees and costs are deducted from the total before that percentage is figured. To earn a cash back bonus, you will need to make a new deposit. The site will subtract the current and pending balance of your account, the accumulated winnings from all previous periods, and then the redemptions for the period from your new deposit amount. The remainder...

The salary conditions were a stumbling block for this particular exercise. With the knowledge of being the manager, I knew that I had other qualified individuals that could be offered the position. The scenario explained that RR already offered a high beginning salary for a new employee. I felt that someone fresh out of college did not warrant a higher salary. In general, I do believe that salary can usually be negotiated. For the majority of jobs (not retail, fast food, etc…), employers give a range of what the salary can be. For the federal government, salaries are usually locked in but you might be able to negotiate at what level you start. ▪ What other things are negotiable? If salary is locked in, there are always other options. For the exercise, we looked at offering relocation costs, a signing bonus, stock options and even starting dates. All these things...

...Adam 15 September 2014 The Price of College is on the Rise On the morning of Wednesday March 6th, 2013 I hurriedly got ready for the ACT after slightly sleeping in. The panic from sleeping in on top of all the stress and worry for my future made me on edge for the most important day thus far in my young adult life. All of my hard work for the past 3 years was rest assured on the next 4 hours, I had to get a high score on the test there is no other way. Rick Perlstein, the author of “What’s the Matter with College” argues the negative changes in college since the 1960s. He disputes that the college experience is not as radical and political as previously. He claims that students are overly concerned with money, which amplifies the fact of students being overscheduled to the point they don’t explore who they are. Indeed, young adults are too connected to their parents through technology and evolving social media to explore anything new. In other words I agree with Perlstein that college is now less of an experience, I believe this is caused by the sky rocketing cost of attendance and the focus on the economy/debt. With the enormous rise of college tuition students have been fighting the inevitable reality of debt. The College Board articulates that the average tuition at a four-year college has increased by 27 percent beyond the rate of inflation over the five years from the 2008-09 academic year to 2013-14. Even after raising cost for inflation the average cost has tripled...

...developing marketing principles. Our goal was to develop an inventory of marketing principles and to see how this inventory changed over time. But in trying to develop this inventory, we were confronted by the second question, that is, the communication of knowledge. Thus, we sought to develop an inventory of the principles that are actually being communicated. As a working definition, we defined principles as normative statements that specify a condition followed by a suggested action. That is, marketing principles should provide operational guidelines, telling managers how to act in a given type of situation. An example of a principle is that the illustration in a print ad should be placed above the copy. Principles should help marketing managers to make better decisions because they incorporate marketing knowledge derived through previous research and experience. A well-developed set of principles can act as a basis for an expert system. For example, Burke et al. (1990) developed an expert system in advertising based heavily upon the principles presented in the advertising textbook by Rossiter and Percy (1987). Well-supported principles of marketing should be of interest to marketing practitioners. Those who make marketing decisions might like to know what principles can help them make better decisions. Such principles, for example, might show the conditions under which an increase in prices would improve profitability. In many disciplines, basic principles seem to be transmitted...

...position of coxswain for the freshmen eight, and along with it the task of controlling eight unruly freshmen boys and keeping a $30,000 racing shell from being damaged. My sophomore year I earned the coxswain position on my team’s top boat the Men’s Junior 8+. On that boat we went undefeated all season and brought the team their second national title. Junior year I once again earned the spot of coxswain on the top boat, which this time was the Med’s 1st Varsity 8. The job as a coxswain is fairly simple. My job is to act as a second coach, I am in charge of the boys who comprise my crew and it is my job to make sure they do their job to the best of their ability. At the same time every day at practice it is demanded of me that I behave in a mature and responsible manner. My experience on my rowing team has been truly defining, I learned things about myself I would have never known had I not joined the team. As a coxswain I have to behave as if I were a coach I must act maturely and responsibly. My ability to do so has earned me respect and the honor of commanding the fastest boats my team can field. Even through the worst of times in my life I have always had rowing as an escape. At crew I am stress free and without outside burdens, I am free to be myself. I am certain that had I not joined the rowing team my freshmen year I would have been a different person. I would not have made the friends I did I would not have gained the confidence I have. And the feeling of belonging and...
