...Case 16 – Part A 1. At this point, what are your predictions about Jennifer as the interim vice president? A glance thru Jennifer’s background at Mid-West U, briefly details out what type of person she is. She was well known and admired among her peers for her devotion to the University as well as for her energy and charm. Her characteristics portray how she devotes her entire life to her work and her social environment. She succeeds in her teaching career and administrative positions but being selected as the interim vice president doesn’t guarantee her any success. Being selected as the number-two person at the top of the organization will be a challenge, but it will allow her to manage people and have the opportunity to decide what’s best for Mid-West U Both of which are new tasks for her. “Big Five Personality Traits” The majority of personality tests qualify different personality aspects by five main traits. These traits are listed below. 1. Extraversion: outgoing, sociable, assertive. 2. Agreeableness: good-natured, trusting, cooperative. 3. Conscientiousness: responsible, dependable, persistent. 4. Emotional Stability: unworried, secure, relaxed. 5. Openness to Experience: imaginative, curious, broad-minded. These are not “types” of personalities, but dimensions of personality. So someone’s personality is the combination of each of their Big Five personality characteristics. For Jennifer, she may be very sociable (high Extroversion), very friendly (high...

...“The Vice-President of the US has no real importance, only potential importance as the next president.” How far do you agree with the view? The executive is the core of the government, where policy is formed and executed. In the USA there is a presidential executive, providing the political leadership of the country. The role of the president is outlined in Article 2. All executive power is vested in one president, elected separately from Congress with his own mandate. It is a single-person executive and president’s cabinet has no constitutionally derived power or electoral mandate, and the president may or may not seek their advice when making decisions (unlike the “cabinet government” in the UK, which is a plural executive drawn from Parliament). Although the president does have enumerated powers, more media attention than the Vice President and more overall power in the executive, the Vice President has more importance than just potentially becoming the next president. The president has formal enumerated powers, which makes him more important than the vice president who is elected under him. The president is chief executive and executive power is only given to the president, rather than shared between the president and the vice president. The executive branch is under presidential control and he is responsible for the federal budget, setting out and implementing the policy agenda for the USA. The executive powers also include the power of patronage and pardon. For example...

...Case Study: The New Vice President Part A 1. At this point, what are your predictions about Jennifer as interim vice president? Jennifer seems to be a qualified choice. She is familiar with the University, has good relationships, and appears to have the appropriate back round that qualifies her for the position. It is difficult to predict at this point due to several factors. 1) Will her relationships with her coworkers affect her decisions where they are concerned? 2) How will she work with the new President, who she barely knows. At this point, It appears Jennifer will have some transitioning, but there does not seem to be anything that would drastically keep her from growing into her new position. 2. What do you predict will be her management/leadership style? Jennifer's leadership style looks like it will follow in the mold of consideration. She has strong interpersonal relationships with her now subordinates and will likely focus on maintaining those relationships as part of her style. While this can be a good thing, Jennifer will have to make sure that her new subordinates also accept her authority. 3. What are her strengths and weaknesses? What is the basis for this assessment? Jennifer's strengths will be her familiarity with the University, the relationships she has developed, and her dedication she has demonstrated to the University. Her weaknesses will be the transition into her new position and how that may affect colleagues who are now subordinates...

...To engage or not to engage It is not easy being a luxury brand these days. The world of a luxury brand has been turned upside down in the last couple of years. Gone are the times when they could tell people what they should buy (it didn’t matter if people actually could afford an object of desire), when the marketing efforts exclusively resorted to one-way shout outs(print, television, direct marketing, etc), when pairing with an admired tastemaker was all that need to be done to make the whole world go gaga over an outfit, a handbag or a car. Things used to be so predictable. Those times have gone and they won’t come back. Who or better what is to blame? Social Media! A luxury brand’s affluent consumer turned out to a particularly heavy user of the internet for both information and for online purchasing. Over 90% of high-income users shop regularly online and the internet became their number one source of getting information for luxury products. On the other hand luxury brands by nature are hesitant to move online but all the kicking and screaming (although elegantly and stylishly it may be) won’t help. Because of print advertising’s decreased returns and third party sources talking about luxury brands anyway - it became clear: luxury brands have to make the transition to online advertisement, e-commerce and yes, social media. But does social media fit with luxury? Isn’t it an oxymoron? Social media is all about inclusivity, accessibility, being popular and user generated...

...How does the sales growth rates in recent years compare with the growth in inventory and accounts receivable? What might explain why these rates are similar or different? In the last financial year, preliminary reports indicate that the company managed to generate $42.6 Million compared to the previous year where it generated $35.1 Million reporting an increase of 21.3% in revenue. Inventory grew by 16.9% and account receivable grew by 40.1% from 2005 to 2006. Ceres is a service company and they carry fewer amounts of inventory compared to a typical manufacturing company. This is an explanation for the lower percentage increase between revenue and inventory. The percentage difference between account receivable and sale revenue is about 20%, this shows that Ceres Company has been very effective in collecting funds from debtors. Additionally, it can also be explained that debts from prior periods have also been collected. What have been the key factors in the company’s growth? The Ceres Gardening Company has been exceptional in many respects. At the outset, it is imperative to acknowledge its founders vision: It is the most profitable business in the organic farming sector and has grown successfully for the last 25 years it has been in operation.

...What are the main recommendations of the Talwar committee on customer service? SOME HIGHLIGHTS In terms of recommendation no. 172 of the Working Group on Customer Service in Banks (Talwar Committee), 1.banks were advised to establish customer service committees at branch level. Further, in terms of recommendation no. 3.68 of the Committee on Customer Service in Banks (Goiporia Committee), banks were advised to rejuvenate the branch level customer service committees. It is however understood that such Committees are either non-existent or in a dormant state. 2. In order to encourage a formal channel of communication between the customers and the bank at the branch level, banks are advised to take necessary steps for strengthening the branch level committees with greater involvement of customers. It is desirable that branch level committees include their customers too. Further as senior citizens usually form an important constituency in banks, a senior citizen may preferably be included therein. 3. The branch level committees may also submit quarterly reports giving inputs / suggestions to the Standing Committee on Customer Service thus enabling the Standing Committee to examine them and provide relevant feedback to the Customer Service Committee of the Board for necessary policy / procedural action. The Branch Level Customer Service Committee may meet at least once a month to study complaints/ suggestions, cases of delay, difficulties faced / reported by customers /...

...I would like to begin by saying Simon Young should have taken Vice President Belmont’s suggestions and at least tried to use them. I believe that a good employee listens to their supervisors and tries to use their recommendations as best as they can. I think Young was too upset that students were not coming into the clinic, and that anger distorted his thinking. Now Sallie Strong has an abundance of work to do as the new clinic’s director. I would take into consideration the comment Vice President Belmont stated “They are not going to spend long periods of time in a therapist’s office” (Lewis, Lewis, Packard 75). Vice President Belmont seems to know her student body pretty well and has some insight on the type of students they are. If she...
