Reasonable expectancy is split into elements of subjective belief and whether that belief is objectively reasonable. To see if an employee’s belief is objectively reasonable, one would needs to consider the following factors: employer benefit, employer involvement, and job related...

The active profiles listed above show which library applies. For the National version, the federal laws set the minimum requirements for employee rights and employer obligations. However, your company may be subject to additional rules, depending on state and local laws, court decisions, or agency regulations.

...What are agency problems in a corporation? An agency problem occurs when the managers of the firm act in their own self interests and not in the interests of the shareholders. Describe the potential managerial behaviors that can harm a firm’s value. Managers might: Expend too little time and effort. Consume too many non-pecuniary benefits. Avoid difficult decisions (for example, close a plant) out of loyalty to friends in company. Take on too much risk or not take on enough risk. Avoid returning capital to investors by making excess investments in marketable securities or by paying too much for acquisitions. Massage information releases or manage earnings to avoid revealing bad news. Describe corporate governance. Corporate governance is the set of rules that control a company’s behavior towards its directors, managers, employees, shareholders, creditors, customers, competitors, and community. Describe the corporate governance provisions that are internal to a firm and are under its control. The provisions under a firm’s control are: (1) monitoring and discipline by the board of directors; (2) charter provisions and bylaws that affect the likelihood of hostile takeovers; (3) compensation plans; (4) capital structure choices; and (5) accounting control systems. How does block ownership affect corporate governance? Block ownership occurs when an outside investor owns a large amount (i.e., block) of company’s shares. Large institutional investors, such...

...Attitude Change Models In general, attitude change models all have three phases. First, consumers’ attitudes are measured based on the existing and similar products. Then, secondly, consumers are given the new product and, after use, attitudes are measured again. Then, using the data gathered, we can translate the attribute measure into purchasing probability and correct that probability with awareness and availability factors. The final outcome is the prediction of purchasing probability. For collecting the preferences, there are two main models. First is the COMP and the second is Silk and Urban. The procedures are the same and the difference is the estimation methods they use to collect the preference data. COMP - Linear Modeling Procedure COMP uses the linear model to collect consumer preferences and states the importance of each attribute. The attribute measure of the product under test equals to: (Preference of measured product)/(Sum of the preferences for All Products) Silk and Urban- Logit Modeling Procedure Silk and Urban doesn’t use the linear modeling method but instead uses the logit model. Consumers’ preferences are measured from a constant sum paired comparison task in which consumers allocate a fixed number of chips among each pair of products in their consideration set. Then we can translate the result into ratio-scaled preferences. To forecast the purchase probability, Silk and Urban define it as the multiply of unadjusted purchase...
