Learnings 8 I. Case Background Hydro Generation (HG) is a U.S. based company that specializes in power plant. It has built power plants in 16 countries where they maintained an ownership in about half of them. The company has targeted a construction of large dam in Uganda Africa. HG put Charles Martin in this project to facilitate the preliminary construction and in case up to the construction phase to get an operating structure and facility start-up activities that includes obtaining licenses, installing telephones and utilities and securing the initial staff that would hire the full range of local personnel. But Vice president James Green pondered whether to continue employing Martin for the construction phase of the project. In particular, Green was concerned about Martin’s lifestyle, some of his business practices, and his participation in Ugandan tribal rituals. Green worried that Martin’s practices were counter to both HG’s corporate culture and methods of operating elsewhere, that some of his actions bordered on the unethical, and that some might be illegal under U.S. law. Characters in the case Lawrence Lovell * HG’s founder and CEO * A devout Christian and very influential in shaping the company’s management culture * Believed that business...

...Case Study #1 CASE #6: ERIC Eric is an eight-year old only child who was brought to the clinic by his parents, who were very concerned about his behavior of defecating his pants at home and at school. When they first came to the clinic the parents were insistent on speaking with the clinician first, with Eric not in the room. Obviously embarrassed by her blushing, Eric’s mother confessed that over the past six months he has soiled his pants approximately once a week. In the past week, it has increased to once a day. She described him as a normal baby and was potty-trained by twenty-eight months. Until the past six months, no toileting accidents have taken place. A second grader earning all As, Eric has never been the most popular kid. He does have two good friends who have continued to play with him despite his “accidents.” Eric’s father is concerned if his behavior does not stop, the other children will tease him. With his parents insisted on not being in the room, Eric entered alone carrying a book. When questioned, Eric said he was very happy but never had time to read. His parents always wanted him to play outside, but two best friends also enjoyed reading and playing “pirates.” He described how he used reading to ignore the kids who teased him on the bus. Eric began to squirm when asked about the “accidents.” He stated he really didn’t mind except his parents were really upset and he didn’t want to lose his friends. He explained that when it did...

...Case Study - The Forgotten Group Member Helen M. Gales GM591 - Leadership and Organizational Behavior Keller Graduate School of Management Professor Leo Shelton July 23, 2012 Case Study - The Forgotten Group Member Part 1: Group Development In looking over the details given for the case, the group appears to still be in the Storming stage. While some of the team has come together and are providing their assigned portions of the class project, they still are not a cohesive, and functioning team; due to one of their team members being preoccupied with outside demands and not really coming together with the rest of the team. By having a better understanding of the stages of group development, Christine would have had a better idea of how to lead the group through the different stages and help them to move forward towards a successful completion of the assignment. The text indicates that for a team to be successful it needs to go through all of the stages, forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning; making progress as each stage is completed. Part II: Problem Identification From the little amount of information that the case gives concerning the initial meetings of the group, the primary problem is that Mike is seen as the "clown" and not taken seriously when suggestions are made. From what the text indicates about the different stages, this indicates a "clique" was formed between the other team members, and a general lack of concern was given to Mike and...

...Corporate Taxation | Case Study Analysis | Section 37: General Deductions | By | K Srilekha MBA | | I. FACTS: The assessee company who carried on the business of manufacture of silk was a member of Indian Silk Mills Association. The members entered into a working time agreement to restrict the working hours of the looms to 42 hours per week, so that over-production could be avoided. But, the members could transfer these loom hours amongst themselves. The assessee purchased loom hours from two members for a consideration of Rs 20 lakhs for a period of 6 months. The assessee claimed deduction of Rs. 20 lakhs as business expenditure, under section 37(1) of Income Tax Act. Is the claim justified? II. ANALYSIS OF FACTS: Each member of the association was manufacturing less than what it could have, if it was working full time. The members agreed to such an agreement as otherwise there would have been over-production of silk. The loom hours could be traded for, if you had an excess of them. Loom hours are the number of hours that you work your looms (mills) for. Section 37 speaks about ‘General Deductions’: Any expenditure not specifically covered by sections 30 to 36 is deductible under section 37, if the following conditions are satisfied: a) It should be in respect of business carried on by the assessee b) It should have been laid out or expended wholly or exclusively for the purpose of business c) It must have been incurred in the previous...

...Case Study: A Laid-off Glass Worker Issue in the case Ronald Petrie was laid off from the company on March 20, 1997 and from the beginning of May that year, the remaining employees of the Glass department were made to work over-time and at the same time; a few other employees from different departments were transferred to the Glass department. The Union’s contention is that the management was wrong in not making a recall for Petrie when it realized in the beginning of May that there can be an opening for a job in the Glass department, while the management argues that it is their right to decide whether the opening was required or not. The issue in the case is whether the management has violated the labour agreement by discharging Petrie and then putting other Glass department workers on overtime and transferring people from other classifications to this department, and not considering making a recall to Petrie for this duration of time. Union’s position The union’s position can be described as follows: (i) the labour agreement clearly tells that if employees are laid-off from work as a result of reduction in workforce, and an opening occurs in the classification they were working for, then they will be recalled to that classification in order of seniority provided the concerned employee is physically able to return to work and perform in a satisfactory manner, (ii) looking at the overtime and temporary transfer...
