...ISSN 1940-204X Embezzlement at Sanchou College Avinash Arya* University of Michigan-Flint Jui-Chin Chang Howard University IntroductIon “April 28, 2003. United Daily News. An employee at Sanchou College was caught stealing tuition refund money, the police authorities said. They did not release the name of the employee as the matter is under investigation. The suspect had been working in the Evening School Division of the school since 1998 and was responsible for tuition receipts and refunds. Apparently, the embezzlement was going on for several years. The incident came to light when the suspect requested a tuition refund on behalf of five students and an alert employee, who was helping him with the refund, noticed that he had seals of those five students, one of whom had died recently. She became suspicious and reported the matter to her supervisor who immediately called the police. The school has been under the supervision of the Ministry of Education for many years due to mismanagement and infighting among members of the school board.” Dan Wu, the president of Sanchou, read the news over and over again as he was having his morning coffee. He had been informed the previous evening that police had been called on campus. Later in the day, he called an emergency staff meeting to discuss the embezzlement. “Why did it happen? How much money did he take?” Dan asked his staff. He wondered whether the Weekend School and the Short-term Programs Division had similar problems, and...

The growth of this “fast-casual” dining phenomenon in its early years demanded the attention of many fast food industry giants all over the United States. One in particular, McDonald’s, even spent significant time holding ownership of a controlling interest of shares in the company, and lent their distribution and growth strategies to Chipotle. This injection of wisdom certainly attributed to their current level of accomplishment as a company because it afforded exponential acceleration in both domestic and international expansion of the brand. Given the overwhelming success of Chipotle to date, the company has decided to launch an additional fast-casual format restaurant designed around a Southeast Asian cuisine theme and named “The ShopHouse Kitchen”. The ShopHouse leverages the same basic, yet proven, principles of the Chipotle Mexican...

...INTRODUCTION Performance management can be defined as a strategic and integrated approach to delivering sustained success to organizations by improving the performance of the human capital and by developing the capabilities of teams and individuals within that organization (Armstrong and Baron, 2000). The process of performance management therefore focuses not only with ‘WHAT’ is produced but, also ‘HOW’ it is produced. It seeks to ensure that what has been produced is in line with the organization’s needs and these products have been produced in line with the organization’s way of doing things. Performance management can be achieved through many different ways. These include performance appraisal system and coaching. Performance appraisal system can be described as a fairly old system of measuring employees’ performance that has been in use in many organizations. However, Performance appraisal has not brought in the amount of positive results that was expected of it. Armstrong and Mulis (1994:86) quoted one manager describing performance appraisal as “a dishonest annual ritual”. The question that arises then is: “If Managers (the custodians of the system) do not have confidence in their own system, what more employees (who happen to be victims of the system)?” The meaning of the word “appraisal” is “to fix a price or value for something”. This is used in finance in terms such as project appraisal or financial appraisal where a value is attached to a project. Similarly performance appraisal...

...4277 APRIL 4, 2011 JAMES L. HESKETT RICHARD LUECKE Porcini’s Pronto: “Great Italian cuisine without the wait!” In January 2011 Tom Alessio, marketing vice president at Porcini’s, Inc., of Boston, was pondering issues raised by a potential expansion of his company’s restaurant business. The domestic market for full-service chain restaurants was nearing its saturation point at both in-city and shopping mall locations. The big chains were looking overseas for growth, but as a small regional player, Porcini’s had neither the resources nor brand power to pursue that option. It needed a domestic avenue for growth. Alessio had persuaded Porcini’s senior executives to consider opening limited-menu outlets, Porcini’s “Pronto,” to serve interstate highway travelers. Most competitors serving this market were fast-food or low-end outlets. Alessio believed that Pronto could offer a quality difference that travelers would value, but the challenges were substantial. Could Pronto’s profitably provide a limited selection of Porcini’s standard menu at moderate prices without jeopardizing the company’s reputation for excellent food? Could it maintain Porcini’s famously high service standards? Could it profitably break into a market occupied by established competitors? Food and service quality were only two aspects of the challenge. Porcini’s—a slow-growing, privately held enterprise—would need to roll out its new restaurants quickly in order to establish itself as a powerful brand. With...
