...Job Offer Negotiation: Joe Tech and Robust Routers 1. What do you expect to negotiate? Leigh holds the legitimate power in the exchange between these two people. Although I believe that the contract offers Joe Tech a good starting deal which also allows him to get his foot in the door in order to work his way up to the position he wants, which is Business Development, he should negotiate the amount of money he will receive to move to Silicon Valley. Relocating is a time-consuming and expensive process and Silicon Valley is more expensive than Nashville as a place of residency, so the cost of living is higher. 2. What are you willing to exchange? I think that although the position required is not the desired one, I am willing to accept the position and start out as Associate Product Manager in the Terabit Router Group because it is a foot in the door and a step onto the right direction. With hard work it is possible to move on up in the company and acquire the desired position in Business Development. 3. What are you willing to give up? I think I would be willing to give up (at least for now) looking for a position in Business Development. I would take time to learn about the company and fully show my capabilities and wait for a position to be open. It is better to be “Power With” as opposed to “Power Over” because that will lead to a great relationship with the company which will hopefully help me in future promotions. 4. What items will need to be bargained in the...

The salary conditions were a stumbling block for this particular exercise. With the knowledge of being the manager, I knew that I had other qualified individuals that could be offered the position. The scenario explained that RR already offered a high beginning salary for a new employee. I felt that someone fresh out of college did not warrant a higher salary. In general, I do believe that salary can usually be negotiated. For the majority of jobs (not retail, fast food, etc…), employers give a range of what the salary can be. For the federal government, salaries are usually locked in but you might be able to negotiate at what level you start. ▪ What other things are negotiable? ...

...1 I. My role: I was cast as Joe Tech, a graduate student working towards his MBA. He is a smart guy whom had secured an internship from Robust Routers (RR), which is one of the leading computer hardware companies in the world. Normally students from his school are not recruited by this company due to it their school not being top tier, however he knew someone who could vouch for his character and capabilities. He then went through a series of interviews and landed the internship with no problem. Towards the end of his time with the company, he was notified that he was a top contender for permanent employment once he graduated. He, received a job offer from RR as well as offers from two other companies within the technological field upon graduation. However he was most interested in RR because they lead the market in technology and sales as well as being named in the top 50 U.S. companies to work for in major business magazine survey (Lewicki, Barry, Saunders, p. 563). He is not completely happy with their job offer and would like to negotiate the terms and conditions of this. The job offer with RR has a suspense date of 1 March 2015. II. Expectations of the situation: I expected the negotiation to go very smoothly due to the establish relationship that Joe Tech had with the company. He had previously worked there for the past two summers with Mr. Leigh Bultema, a product manager for RR’s flagship product division. Mr. Leigh, is a smart, ambitious and talented...

...being part of chain-mails, Well, not all chain-mails are bad. My grudge is against the mails that seek to lure or threaten the recipient into forcefully continuing the chain: the ones, which are meant to spread hatred, superstitions or misinformation or simply to continue the chain. In 2002 there was a horror film named The Ring, it depicted a video of a white ring, a person who saw the video will receive a phone call from a little girl saying they will die in 7 days, that one movie created a chain depicting the video, posing as an email with an promotional video for Feed The Children. In Whatsapp and BBM, you get a message from someone you admire, your heart starts racing thinking about what she has to say to you, is she accepting your offer for dinner at Lucianos?? but you immediately are disappointed when you found out its only the notorious chain of Blackberry or Whatsapp is shutting down or its going to cost you money, forward to 10 either contacts so your account can remain free. Yes, the headaches of chains are even in social media for example on facebook a photo of Jesus and The Devil with the heading “Share this photo if and you want to go to heaven, scroll down and ignore and you will go to hell...Really? sharing a photo will decide my faith??

Some problems evolved quickly for Carl and in this case study we will examine those problems and offer solutions to to help him get back on track for his new job. Background Carl Robbins recently hired some fifteen new employees to work for ABC Inc.’s Operations Supervisor Monica Carrolls. He has scheduled his new employees to come in for an Orientation on June the 15th with the goal having all of the new staff to work by the beginning of July. Monica then contacted Carl to make sure a training schedule, orientation, manuals, policy booklets, physicals, drug tests, and all other issues would be taken care of. Carl assured Monica everything would be fine and that he would have everything arranged in time. Things began to fall apart quickly for Carl. While reviewing application, he noticed that some of the new employees had incomplete applications, their transcripts were not on file and none of them had gone to the mandatory drug testing at the clinic. A quick review was made of the orientation manuals, and he discovered several copies had pages missing from them. After A further review of the training room Carl had found that Joe in technology services had reserved the room for the entire month for the new database software implementation.

...Management March 13, 2013 Dr. Benjamin Bao Strayer University Executive Summary of my Marketing Plan My Cup of Joe coffee will introduce a new world to this small town that has never really seen anything like it. This coffee shop will offer a variety of coffee that that will appeal to almost anyone that walks through the door that loves that flavor. The coffee shop will reside in a large home that will be bought by the company instead of a strip mall. The house will be bought to have a better way of staying cost friendly. The utilities will be lower as well as the mortgage verses the rent. Instead of a strip mall this will give the people who really want to come and get what they want and what they need, from that feeling of belonging. The coffee shop will have décor from consignment shops and coffee cups from the dollar tree. It will have over sized love seats and couches that are spaced for those who might want to relax or sit somewhere comfortable. People will have the option to sit or to go with their beverage. People can eat a muffin made from the local bakery where a deal was made to get the muffins at a discounted price. Coffee will be sold at a cheaper price than start bucks but a little higher than the small local café’s. There will be an area set up for people to doctor their coffee to suit their needs. Instead of regular sugar” My cup of Joe” will offer liquid sugar which gives a sweeter taste and less has to be used. There is a local distributor who will be used...

...fence you sit, this issue can be very personal and emotional. Obviously, there are specific cases where the question is debatable. If you need a registered professional engineer to approve plans, the degree requirement is a given. If you're a hospital looking for a surgeon, you're probably seeking someone with a PhD in medicine. However, the scope of positions that may or may not require a degree gets gray pretty fast, and the span is pretty wide. And, no industry is immune to this issue. Keywords: experience, degree, organizations, policies, professional, requirement, industry. Education or Experience? It Depends. Take this scenario: Bob and Joe are both applying for the same job. They each interview well, but Bob has 15 years’ experience and no college degree, and Joe is fresh out of college with no experience. Who gets the job? The answer is: it depends. Here are some factors to consider when it comes to the battle between education and experience. Career Field There are some careers where experience is preferred over education and vice versa. In sales for instance, having a track record of dollars brought into the company will far outweigh any degree. Likewise,...

...and a half ago, Rick felt like he was being even more heavily scrutinized by his partners—including Joe Trumbell, his mentor and long-time friend. While Joe and other partners remained generally complimentary of Rick’s work, they seemed particularly teed up over the work behavior of several staff members of the firm—including some who were on multiple jobs with Rick. When Joe approached Rick and told him that Rick’s proximity to the staffers involved made him the perfect guy to investigate this matter further, Rick accepted the assignment. That was four months ago. The clock on the wall behind him ticked closer to 11:00 p.m. and the faint hum of a vacuum cleaner could be heard down the hall. Rick really wished Joe had asked someone else to shoulder this burden but, unfortunately, he had not—and Rick knew he had a meeting with Joe tomorrow morning to update him on some of his work. He glanced at his notes, and rehashed conversations with firm members and clients during that period: a staffer with a penchant for surfing the web; another who appeared to somewhat regularly ‘‘disappear’’ for brief periods of time during the workday; two others who submitted reimbursement reports with personal, non-work-related receipts; a client who mentioned to a partner that she had an ‘‘inappropriate’’ conversation with a senior staffer at RKGA pertaining to the staffer’s dissatisfaction with his job at the firm. What was happening at RKGA? Rick looked over at the stack of work papers piled on the...

...Clayton Mosher 3/25/2016 Introduction to Business The three occupations I chose to research were Automotive Body and Glass Repairer, Welders, and Metal and Plastic Machine workers. To be completely honest all three of these jobs interest me. When it came to choosing which occupation interests me the most it was unbelievably hard to choose. But ultimately and without a doubt I chose Automotive Body and Glass Repairer. A collision repair specialist’s job is to repair or fix vehicles that have been in some sort of accident. There are really three main reasons as to why I chose this occupation to write about. The first being, there is always room for advancement. Secondly is the amount of money that is typically paid. And lastly is the simple fact that I enjoy the work. From here I’m going to elaborate upon these three reasons. The number one reason that I chose this occupation is because it’s actually the occupation that I chose in real life. I’m currently attending Crowder College for their collision repair certificate. And as a bonus I am getting my associates of applied science with my certification. This is an added bonus so that if I ever decide that I don’t want to work in the automotive field anymore, I have something to fall back on if need be. The reason that there is always room for advancement is simply because if you don’t like where you are in the company you could always go off and start your own collision repair facility. To be honest it wouldn’t be that...

I Outline the stress process from stressors to consequences. I Identify the different types of stressors in the workplace. I Explain why a stressor might produce different stress levels in two people. I Discuss the physiological, psychological, and behavioural effects of stress. I Identify five ways to manage workplace stress. S ylvia Noreen thought that working at a small hospital in Prince Edward Island would reduce the stress she had experienced as a nurse in Ontario for 17 years. Instead, she discovered that Stewart Memorial Hospital nurses in Tyne Valley also experience unacceptable stress levels due to budget cuts and staff shortages. “There can be a lot of demands made on you,” says Noreen. “The workload can get quite strenuous at times.” With no vacations during her first year at Stewart, Noreen’s scheduled days off were precious time to recharge her batteries. Unfortunately, those moments were fewer than she had hoped. “We’re faced with being called back on our days off,” Noreen says. “It is trying at times.” Canadian nurses and other health care workers are feeling some of the highest levels of stress and burnout of any occupation across the country. With Montreal-area emergency rooms filled to 167 percent, nurses at St. Luc Hospital in Montreal recently...

...Assessing Your Leadership Style to Achieve Organizational Objectives EILEEN NEWMAN RUBIN Research has shown that there are more than 30 differently named leadership styles, ranging from micro-management to hands-off, each with its own proponents. Six, however, stand out as most com- monly found in business: authoritarian, democratic, transformational, laissez-faire, servant, and situa- tional. A review of the experiences of six leaders who embody these styles reveals that each mode of operating has its pros and cons; there is no sin- gle best approach. Being aware of one’s leadership style and that of others makes it possible to lever- age strengths and compensate for weaknesses and to properly match individuals to a particular role or task—for the good of the entire organization. ©C 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Whether they are involved in politics, corporate America, or a nonprofit endeavor, the style in which managers and other professionals exert their lead- ership can determine the outcome of their efforts. As the American businessman and political fig- ure Erskine Bowles said, “Leadership is the key to 99 percent of all successful efforts” (Kruse, 2012). But what is the best leadership style to use? There is no simple answer to this seemingly simple ques- tion. One’s leadership style depends on several fac- tors, including the personality of the leader, the or- ganizational culture (and the many subcultures that may exist within it), the personalities of the people...

...Should the Public Embrace Social Networking Sites | 7/26/2011 | This is a research paper that encompasses the question of why the public should embrace social networking. | Should the Public Embrace Social Networking Sites In the past few years, social networking has made an impact on the world that developers would have never imagined. JD Rucker believed that the idea to develop social networking sites stemmed from the first email in 1971. In 1994, Geocities was one of the first social networking sites to be founded. Developers created TheGlobe.com in 1995, giving users the freedom to personalize their online experiences using their own content. Eight years following this event lead to the launch of Friendster, which was considered a success at the time because within the first three months the user-base grew to three million users. He also reported that 2003 is the year when Myspace became established. Many social networking sites such as Tribe.net, Linkedin, Classmates.com, Jaiku, and Netlog pursed the same success as Myspace, but unfortunately they couldn’t. Later Facebook launched as an alternate way for college students at Harvard University to communicate and have expanded becoming the most successful social networking site to date. Social networking sites have been successful ones because they allow the users to personalize their pages. The success of each social networking site is determined by the number of users and unique visitors that accrues every month...
