...Case Study I: Pack-iTS 1. As one of the partners, evaluate the overall feasibility of Pack-iTS * Ease of management and student satisfaction for school administration * Value for money, able to the variety of choices, and food preparation safety for individual parents * variety and taste for students * Quality based on nutritional value for packaged lunch * Offered bi-monthly for hot lunch days 2. How should Pack-iTS be positioned against the competition? Pack-iTS should position themselves against the competition by targeting the three key consumers, school parents and children. They should target the parents by illustrating the benefits of Pack-iTS pre made lunches. One of the main concerns that parents had was not being able to spend more time with their kids while trying to juggle a work and home life. So Pack-iTS should lead with how using their service will save parents time instead of buying and preparing school lunches for their children. Giving them more time to spend with their kids and not having to stress about what their kids are going to eat. Pack-iTS should also stress the importance of nutrition to the parents and that pack-its is committed to making healthy meals for their kids. Pack-its only real competition is the brand name lunches offered by Kraft and Schneider’s, but these choices are less healthy options for children. They other competition would be the hot lunches that were offered by local businesses. In this case Pack-iTS...

...Kim Nguyen 2/17/16 HCM 3020 002 Case Study 1 The group that I was put in was group number two. In our group we discussed the cost and benefits of high turnover and how to reduce things. These are increases cost of turnover are since company’s hire new employee they would need to be trained. By that employee would need to stop what they are doing and take their time to train others. Companies would need to spend money on supplies since employee need to use things to get things done. Supplies would include name badges, tags, uniforms, and badges to get access to the office when it is locked. When companies hire they need to spend money for background checks as well as medical screening. Some companies even get employee cell phones to keep in contact or emergencies or even need to communicate. Since people quit from their job this company would be short staff which makes it a low quality of work. The benefits of reducing turnover would be high productivity, lower of supplies, quality of work increases, and time management. In the case the company would spend less money. The cost of turnover rate is that we wanted to change the managers. By that we want to improve managers in order to be professional and how they can be better managers, more training for them, loss of replacement of managers, and give more benefits. In group one I believed they didn’t really say anything. They have stated to bring moral down, and to keep employee motivated. By keeping those motivated have...

...Case Study 1: The Union’s Demand for Recognition and Bargaining Rights Sean Kail Columbia Southern University This case study is from 1975 and regards a union trying to recruits new members from an apartment building and townhouse complex. There are 11 employees that work for the Thomas Hall the property manager, in which he did not want involved in any union matters so he passed the burden onto the vice president Carl Alton. The maintenance supervisor got wind of the union trying to recruit the employees and started asking questions. Melton called and confronts multiple employees about the alleged union meetings. Melton was released by the company 15 days after the alleged phone calls and questionings. The union alleged the company violated Section 8(a)(1) of the LMRA, in which they repeatedly interrogated employees. Melton did call and question multiple employees when he got wind of the union; he was definitely in violation of the LMRA, if such were true. The company claimed that they were unaware of Melton questioning the employees and since he was let go the union can not use his actions against them. Also with the election not being held for another 36 days after Melton was let go his actions had no influence on the employee’s decisions. Melton did state “You are either on my side of the fence or your side of the fence… You always had is good. I have given you… you got a nice job, you got an apartment… this is your last chance.” (Ivancevich J. p503). That...

There are 200 possible points in this course and the points allocated to each of the written assignments are self-explanatory. I will use one grading rubric for each of the individual one page written assignments in this course. There is no rubric for the case studies, but there are guidelines for them in the supplemental material. The written assignment rubrics will be returned to you when I return the feedback on the assignment. I will attach an “answer” sheet with each written assignment, including case studies. I will also use a rubric to grade your participation in this course. I will grade and return the individual participation rubrics to you each week. There are two grading rubrics, therefore, that will be used in the course. These grading rubrics are posted separately. If you have questions about them, then please ask. In terms of APA, I expect all of you to use this method for citations and references. I require a cover sheet for all assignments and a reference page. These pages do not count toward the number of pages needed in an assignment. Case study assignments should be double spaced IAW APA standards, but the one and three page papers should...

Please post case studies in Turnitin Assignment Drop Box as a MS Word document. Remember, each case study must have the heading listed below and must be answered according to instructions; each heading is worth a percentage of each case grade. This is how I want your paper turned in. The introduction is generally one paragraph. The easiest way to explain this section is to think of it like an abstract or introduction. This section, if written properly, can actually act as the abstract for this paper. It will, in a sense, set up the rest of the paper, which is the review of the case, analysis, recommendations, and the summary and conclusions sections. If there is a second paragraph, it will look like this. An interesting APA fact is that there is only one space after the period. This is difficult for many to get used to and takes practice. The paper should be written in third person narrative. I do not want to see you writing in the first person. Note: I have bolded the required headings that must be present in the paper and please keep bolded. Answer the following questions by applying the concepts learned in Chapter 1. Also, conduct literature reviews on the subject of discussion and use to support...

...Barnes & Noble Vs. Amazon To attain a competitive advantage over Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble needs to develop a proper strategy and implement a successful marketing plan. SITUATION ANALYSIS Barnes & Noble first must consider the issues and problems facing their company, and then perform an opportunity analysis to determine their strengths and weaknesses in relation to their customers, competitors, and company capabilities. In regards to the main concerns of Barnes & Noble, the company needs to worry about the uncertainties associated with the expected rapid growth of the Internet, the changing profile of Internet users, increased competition and indeterminate future developments in electronic retailing from publishers, wholesalers, and retailers, and intense price competition. By 2000, more than 80 million users will be on the World Wide Web, with an increase in females and a broader spectrum of education levels and age, changing the market demographics. Additionally, some book publishers, namely Simon & Schuster and Bertelsmann, have expanded online, while the national leading wholesaler, Ingram, is developing a website where wholesalers could ship directly to consumers. In the meantime, small publishers and universities have started to publish directly on the Web, avoiding print versions completely and thereby challenging the posterity of conventional books. Within the Barnes & Noble Corporation, their smaller traditional bookstores such...

...SS3150 – Six Approaches to Qualitative Research The chosen qualitative research approach that I chose to use for my research is Case Study. The particular type of case study that I decided to use is the critical instance case study. These examine one or more sites for either the purpose of examining a situation of unique interest with little to no interest in generalizability, or to call into question or challenge a highly generalized or universal assertion. This method is useful for answering cause and effect questions. Some of the strengths of case studies are as follows; they are a good source of ideas about behavior, they give good opportunity for innovation, they are a good method to study rare phenomena, they provide good method to challenge theoretical assumptions, and also are a good alternative or complement to the group focus of psychology. Some of the weaknesses of case studies are that they can be hard to draw definite cause-effect conclusions; they are hard to generalize from a single case and also the possible bias in data collection and interpretation (due to it being a single person that gathers and analyzes the information). In my opinion the case study approach best fits my research paper because it will allow me to look at both the causes and effects that domestic violence has on children. Although, there have been several scholarly reviews that have been conducted of this literature there is still more research that needs to be done in order to fully...

The next phase of the EMR implementation plan involves the ICU and NICU. What recommendations would you make to modify the implementation plan based on the ED experience? Explain. 6. After reading this case, how will you use the lessons learned to implement your group project? In my case study I will discuss the impact on the workflow in the Emergency Room (ER) when lab information system is implemented.

...Running head: Supply Management Course Case Studies Case Studies Case Study #1 – Krause Corporation 1. Should Steve recommend buying the pipe or making it? Steve could go forward as planned and make the steel piping in house to save money by using the lowest cost lowest acceptable quality steel. This would be risky since the material would inferior and also the risk of toxic fumes being released due to bad welding etc. Buying the pipe already formed and of better quality would be the second option. In house machines did not provide the proper ability to make 20 foot sections of piping. This causes more seams to be welded and increases risk of toxicity. Labor cost would increase because of the extra welding and fabrication costs to include overhead costs. I would suggest Steve buying the piping. This would save on man hours to create and weld 8 foot pipes to needed length, ensure a better quality piping was procured, and show that priority was on safety with regard to hazardous materials being released through leaky seams etc. Although it appears that buying may be more costly, I wouldn’t suggest short cutting such a sensitive area.
