At the end of the period, we discuss with our superior of what percentage we have achieved in a certain time. Aside from strategic congruence, Thoroughness is also present. We also follow the 4 dimensions in performance management. Employees are being evaluated at a certain period of time, once a year, including managers. Human resource will also evaluate our job descriptions as well as our responsibilities and duties. After being evaluated for a certain period of time, feedbacks are given to us regarding our performance for that period of time. 2. Two characteristics that are not present in our firm are the Identification of Effective and Ineffective performance and Reliability. There are some employees that are not working properly yet they are still receiving allowances and incentives. It is a combined effort of all employees disregard of what an employee has done to achieve monthly quota. We can also not secure in staying in the company even if you were trying so hard. Supervisor’s judgment in performance evaluation is not fair and not free of error. 3. The best characteristic that is present in our company is the strategic congruence. Our individual goal is aligned with the company’s goal. Our immediate superior always discusses to his...

...accountability based on “work and interaction”, in accordance with explaining the consequences of treating the individual not as an instrumental. In my personal opinion, I agree with an individualizing form of accountability because the organization stands for making a profit. In order to sustain and maintain the organization, a company needs to have a good performance, which brings it a profit. The hierarchical accountability is most suitable for this goal because it concentrates on securing self, as one is driven by the standard of acceptance and recognition. On the other hand, I do give a certain respect to attempting a socializing form of accountability. This form may benefit the company, as it facilitates a shift in focus away from superior control and makes a subordinate accountant have face-to face accountability between people of relatively equal power. However, it will eventually become a double-edged sword because this form of accountability leads to direct encounters between others. When that occurs, it...

...To show that the companies are now merged, one of the most common practices is to use “one company, one email”. That way everyone can see that the companies have merged. But we also need to know how many computers they are currently using as well as how many servers, both physical and virtual. This will allow us to assess the combined strength of their IT infrastructure. We also need to know what version of Windows Server they are using as well as what Exchange server that they are using, that will help us establish how we can migrate all the information to one server for the new company to access the combined information. This will also allow us to establish domain trust for both networks that way both companies can access and share information between all the users. We can use the Active Directory Migration Tool to help with the merger of information. The ADMT will allow us to migrate users, computers, and groups from one domain to another domain. Since we are using an Exchange Server we need the information for the other company so we can use the Inter-Organization Replication Tool to replicate all of the information between the exchange servers so they both have all of the information, emails and anything that has been sent. This will also allow the coordination of meetings, appointments, contacts and all public folders to share access. If one or more domain exist, as in a merger, you can combine the multiple domains into a hierarchical tree structure. If one company is using...

Justifique su respuesta a partir de los conceptos de principal/agent y la información proporcionada en el caso. Respuesta: Con respecto a lo abordado dentro del caso que nos ocupa y tomando en cuenta los factores que llevaron al colapso a ENRON considero que efectivamente se trató de un problema de agencia, lo que sucedió con esta firma. Según su definición un problema “principal/agent” o de agencia se da cuando los objetivos de los agentes (en el caso de Enron, los altos ejecutivos) son diferentes a los del dueño o dueños (en este caso los accionistas de Enron), y es difícil o muy costo para el dueño monitorear al agente para que se cumplan los objetivos del dueño, que como ya lo hemos estudiado debe de ser maximizar las ganancias de la empresa. Como lo apunta nuestro caso de estudio, la firma Enron “tenía una tendencia por contratar solo a los mejores y más brillantes y los recompensaba como estrellas de rock mientras al mismo tiempo ellos demandaban que “innovaban, innovaban, innovaban””, esto apunta a que claramente los objetivos de estos ejecutivos estaban sumamente alejados de su principal deber dentro...

...Assignment 3.1: Determining Causes and Effects – Draft Version English 115 Known as the Laurentian Great Lakes for its connection to the St. Lawrence River, the lakes combined make up nearly 20 percent of the world's fresh water (Latham, Wright, & Tsang, n.d.) Lakes Erie, Huron, Michigan, Ontario, and Superior are 5 lakes that provide food, jobs, and recreation to the surrounding regions reaching into two countries. The New York Times (2010) also estimate more than 30 million people are the recipient of potable water from the lakes. With over 3.2 million harvestable fish worth an estimated 4.8 million dollars, Lake Huron is important to the fishing industry. According to McCrimmon (2002), Lake Huron alone has over 117 species of fish. Lake Huron, as well as the other great lakes, is also polluted. For this essay, pollution is the injection of biological or non-biological elements into Lake Huron which are detrimental to the health of the lake and its inhabitants. Sewage, along with additional factors and with far reaching effects, is the primary cause of the decline of the various benefits the lake provides; it is harmful and potentially fatal to people, jobs, the economy, and of course, the aquatic life and wildlife of the Lake Huron area. There are quite a few types of pollution which are damaging Lake Huron. Industrial sewage and waste may be, arguably, the most damaging cause of pollution. Additional causes of Lake Huron's pollution also come from biological...

...APES Population Ecology Isle Royale In this simulation, you will complete all the activities for exercises 1-5, record all your results, answer all the questions, and provide a final summary of your findings. You will not need to write a formal report. Background Isle Royale is an island sitting about 15 miles from the northern shore of Lake Superior, one of the Great Lakes on the border of Canada and the U.S. Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world, stretching 160 miles from north to south and well over 300 miles from east to west. That's a long way to swim, and not many large animals have made it from the shores of Lake Superior to Isle Royale. About 100 years ago, however, a few moose found their way across from mainland Canada to the island, probably walking most of the way across surface ice during an especially cold winter. The moose found a veritable paradise, with lots of grass, bushes, and low-lying trees to eat and no predators. Their population exploded, reaching several thousand individuals at its peak. In 1949, the area around Lake Superior had another cold winter and large parts of the lake's surface froze solid. A small pack of wolves found a tongue of ice that extended all the way to Isle Royale. There they found a population of moose that had grown so large they had eaten almost all the available food, and many of the moose were severely undernourished. These starving moose were easy prey for the wolves. The wolves and moose on...

It is not being sexist or age discrimination it has to do with company image, just like not hiring someone because they have gauged ears you don’t want the company to have that image so you can continue to attract the customer base you require. “Under the doctrine of Respondent superior, the principal-employer is liable for any harm caused to a third party by an agent-employee within the scope of employment” (Miller, R. L. 2012) The plaintiff could use a theory of negligence and a theory of vicarious liability and Respondeat superior to state that The Sporty One is responsible for the actions of its clerk. In order to establish an employer's liability for the actions of its employee in a tort action, plaintiff must prove that an Employee/Employer relationship actually existed and, that the tortious conduct of the employee occurred within the "scope of his employment." The respondent superior also states that restatement sets forth various factors to determine whether unauthorized conduct is similar to or incidental to the conduct that caused the incident. In this particular scenario, the employer's best defense is that the employee's actions are outside the scope of the employee's duties. Undeniably, the employer can likely state the company's policy is to call emergency...

...The Condition of Lake Heron Sherrika R. Newman Professor Carrie Miller English Composition November 24, 2013 Lake Heron is one of five Great Lakes located on the west by the state of Michigan in the United States. It is the second-largest Great Lakes due to the having a surface area of 23,000 square miles. But by volume Lake Huron is only the third largest of the Great Lakes. Looking at illustration (A) below, Lake Heron is surrounded by Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. It is often referred to “the lake in the middle.” (A) In illustration (A) above you can also see that Lake Huron is connected to Lake Michigan through the straights of St. Mary’s River. It is a fact that this lake was the first Great Lakes to be discovered by European explorers. It is also a reality that Lake Heron has become a victim to water pollution over recent years. This has become a major issue for Coastal Conversationalist. Lake Huron has become a major dumping ground for many different types of pollutants. These pollutants enter the lakes fresh water and are commonly classified by point source or non-point source pollution. Point source can usually be traced back to the specific location and source of culprit. Dumping of hazardous chemical depositions or nuclear waste from industrial and treatment facilities is an example of point source pollution. Because point source pollution can be traced back to the owner it is the easiest source of pollution to control and regulate...

...The Honorable Margaret Gayle California Superior Court South West,Courthouse CA 903625 Re: Case no. NSFWFTW-69 Dear Judge Gayle, My name is James Lee Roman. I was charged for driving under the influence of alcohol on April 14, 2011. The DUI offense stems from my unfortunate decision to drive myself home after a birthday party. With my senses impaired, I eventually misjudged a turn and hit a tree straight-on. The incident caused my left leg to be fractured in several places, shards of glass also pierced my face. My injuries are extensive and the hours of physical therapy still come in very long, painful strides, but the lesson I learned here was invaluable. I truly realized that I was very fortunate that I did not injure anyone else, to have caused the same kind of damaged and pain on someone or even horribly death. I learned all of these things the hard way, the weeks I spent at the hospital and seeing my mother in tears of which such heartbreak cannot be undone. But I stand to correct myself and my ways. I would like to submit myself to an alcohol treatment program as soon as possible or on any rehabilitative program the court deems proper. I would like to plead for leniency your honor, please allow me the opportunity to turn my life around, I believe the possibility of imprisonment is a huge factor for change alone. Still, I would like to be responsible for my actions and accept the consequences of my offense. Inside me, I believe is an indvidual who wants to...

...CJ Industries and Heavey Pumps – Discussion Questions 1. What are all the issues here, from both CJI’s and Heavey’s perspectives, that need to be researched by Mr. Ashby? CJ Industries (CJI) The first issue presented for CJ Industries was its contract with Great Lakes. Though CJI had sufficient excess capacity to ramp up production on the parts to be supplied in the Great Lakes’ contract, they were not sure about the ability or willingness of Heavey Pumps to increase their production of the bilge pumps. The problem is that CJ Industries had signed the contract with Great Lakes prior to any discussions about ramping up production with Heavey Pumps. The next issue for CJ Industries was whether or not Heavey Pumps could guarantee delivery of 50 pumps per month to one of the CJI warehouses. This had been the one item that had “slipped through the cracks” on the contract with Great Lakes, and it now loomed as something that could conceivably put the contract in jeopardy. This could have been prevented by developing and keeping quality and performance history records on Heavey Pumps – supplier evaluation. Continuing, there were also at least two other bilge pump manufacturers, thus, CJ Industries may need to consider another supplier. Finally, CJ Industries could make the bilge pumps in-house. CJ Industries had the capability to make this pump, but it would require an initial capital investment of approx. $500,000 according to the CJ Industries production manager, along with...

Karla Macías Yanin Guerrero Enríquez A01180790 29/Mayo/2014 Introducción Blanca Dobrynin, administradora asociada de Aurora Borealis LLC, propuso a Susan Chandler, una asociada, a iniciar la búsqueda de una inversión potencial en Wrigley. Aurora Borealis tenía un fondo de cobertura de 3 billones bajo administración y una estrategia de inversión que se enfocaba en empresas con dificultades, arbitraje de fusiones, transacciones de cambio de control y recapitalizaciones. El típico modelo de operación de Blanca Dobrynin consistía en identificar oportunidades para una corporación para reestructurarla, invirtiendo significativamente en el capital de la empresa objetivo, y encargarse del proceso de persuadir al administrador y directores de reestructurar. Chandler notó que el valor de mercado del capital común de Wrigley era de 13.1 billones. Dobrynin y Chandler discutieron de las condiciones del mercado de capital actual y decidieron enfocarse en el supuesto de que Wrigley podía pedir prestados 3 billones en una clasificación crediticia entre BB y B, con un rendimiento del 13%. La compañía Wrigley era el fabricante y distribuidor de goma de mascar más grande del mundo. La industria era intensamente...
