...Case 11-18 1. Would you say this is a computer crime? Why or why not? Yes it is a computer crime. There is manipulation of data to dishonestly obtain money. Even though the fraud is happening over the phone it is using the lack of updated computer data to dishonestly obtain money. 2. What internal controls would you recommend that would enable the resort’s managers to prevent such offenses? First, in order to get paid, Travel Agents must turn in proof that they are authorized agents. A list will be completed and maintained starting with all new business. Just by saying we are updating our records and now need proof you are an authorized agent is not an unreasonable request. If there is a license that expires, that license data must be kept on file and have some type of ERP automated pop up that notifies that a license is about to expire and an updated license is required. I would also call a meeting and explain to all employees as of now, if an employee books a reservation when they are not authorized agents, they will be fired and will be prosecuted to fullest extent possible. This policy alone will detour employees from attempting taking advantage of the system. Once the first employee is caught, make it public and follow through with the termination and charges against them. Also, not updating the Authorized Travel Agent list is unacceptable and punishable by termination (after a reasonable disciplinary actions such as verbal warnings have been given...

...Compensation. He saw Dr. DeFine in New Jack City, as well as Dr. Johnson/Dr. Johansen in Roosevelt. He got Dr. Miller with Common Insurance Company and another doctor in Roosevelt. Mr. Hocker continued to suffer immensely after the accident, initial surgery and subsequent rehabilitation. Mr. Hocker has suffered not only physically, but emotionally as well, which caused tremendous stress to his marital relationship. Prior to the accident, Mr. Hocker purchased a disability insurance policy (the “Policy”) from your company, Common Insurance Company (“Company”) in New Amsterdam. Mr. Hocker filed a claim with the Company; however, payments were always late. Company’s agents could not explain how the policy was supposed to work. He had filed complaints and felt like he was badgered a lot, harassed into either turning over the policy for x amount of dollars, which was always an unreasonable and unacceptable amount. Agents had called him after hours, at night, which they said they never called after 5:00 p.m., but they did. Mr. Hocker reached a stage where he felt like he was being harassed and it made him quite paranoid. He had just had a lot of bad times with Company’s agents. Once Mr. Lee Weiser, Company’s employee, called Mr. Hocker often, went over Mr. Hocker’s apartment in Monroe City and wanted to buy the policy, and threatened him because he would not accept $40,000.00 to buy out the policy. He complained to Common Insurance about Mr. Weiser’s actions. Finally...

And then I have to show this lady a digital camera from the display cabinet. She’s been waiting half an hour and then……” Alright Chris I can help you out for a little while…..” two hours later, Kyle exited the electronics department disheartened. That’s no way for a store manager to spend his afternoon. There’s got to be a logical way to solve this, thought Kyle. He walked back to his office and wrote down the facts as he knew them. 6.

...Lori Cook, manager of the Winter Park Hotel, is considering how to restructure the front desk to reach an optimum level of staff efficiency and guest service. At present, the hotel has five clerks on duty, each with a separate waiting line, during peak check-in time of 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Observation of arrivals during this period shows that an average of 90 guests arrive each hour (although there is no upward limit on the number that could arrive at any given time). It takes an average of 3 minutes for the front-desk to register each guest. Ms. Cook is considering three plans for improving guest service by reducing the length of time that guests spend waiting in line. The first proposal would designate one employee as a quick-service clerk for guests registering under corporate accounts, a market segment that fills about 30% of all occupied rooms. Because corporate guests are preregistered, their registration takes just 2 minutes. With these guests separated from the rest of the clientele, the average time for registering a typical guest would climb to 3.4 minutes. Under this plan, non-corporate guests would choose any of the remaining four lines. The second plan is to implement a single-line system. All guests could form a single waiting line to be served by whichever of five clerks became available. This option would require sufficient lobby...

...coordination, and some aspects of the job can be done completely by computer now which may lead to the displacement of some clerical workers. The jobs that are likely to see the biggest decline are the non-customer facing jobs like switch board operators or typists. Deskilling may occur because the tasks that once needed to be completed manually are now completed by a machine or computer. Because the worker in this case is no longer using his/her skills, they become deskilled and automation takes over. Inevitably, this may lead to these jobs becoming obsolete and ultimately eliminated. In contrast, many clerical jobs should stay strong even with the implementation of new technology because of the human interaction that is required. Hotel clerks, receptionists, and secretaries may even expect to see growth as a result of technology making their jobs more efficient and cost effective. Mobile technology has added a whole new aspect to technology on a more individual level. With smartphones like Blackberrys and iPhones a clerical worker can access company...

...Levi’s Strauss was the market leader for women’s jeans in 1995. However its position as leader was coming under heavy attack. Focusing on size combination (which they offer 51), Levi’s was losing ground as more styles, more colors, and better fit became more important to its customers. Market research showed that only 24% of women were completely satisfied with their jeans purchase, at $50 a pair they were becoming a tough sell. Levi’s responded by recognizing a need to be in closer touch with their customers. They began to open stores to sell directly to their customers (rather then trough another retailer). They also implemented new technology such as EDI to help their supply chain. Unfortunately the lag time for their products was still 8 months. Levi’s was a company that needed a way to strengthen their business. Using the value chain analysis Levi’s was a prime textbook case of a company that needed to improve its value chain in order to sustain a competitive advantage. The results of their value chain analysis are as follows: 1. Value: only 24% satisfaction rate. 2. Value stream: ROE average more then 38% lead to little improvement in their cumbersome value chain. 3. Continuous flow: 8 month lag time. 4. Pull: The customer initiated nothing, activity was driven by sales forecasts. 5. Perfection: A good ROE led management to miss opportunities in improvement. In addition, use a pull driven distribution strategy Levi’s lost big profits when retailers had...

...approved by the supervisors. The supervisors take the approved time cards to the payroll department. Salaried employees also are paid biweekly based on a salary schedule approved by the finance committee of the board of directors. 2. The personnel department must approve all new hires, terminations, and hourly rate changes. Forms for each of these actions also are approved by appropriate supervisors and are kept in the personnel office. The personnel clerks notify payroll of the changes by a “payroll change” document. 3. The payroll department maintains the individual employees’ payroll records and the forms signed by employees for all pay deductions. 4. Every two weeks, Martha, a clerk in the payroll department, prepares the payroll register (multicopy) from the time cards and the information of the individual payroll records. Martha uses a “write-it-once” system that also prepares a form indicating gross pay, each deduction, net pay, and year-to-date totals. Martha calls this form the “take-home sheet.” Willie, a second clerk, checks Martha’s work and recalculates the gross pay and all deductions. 5. Two copies of the payroll register and the take-home sheets are sent to the accounts payable department where they are used to prepare a separate voucher for each payroll take-home sheet. The checks then are prepared. Both copies of the payroll register, the voucher, the checks, and the accompanying take-home sheets are sent to the treasurer’s office. 6. Mary Costain, the treasurer...

Background Jim Barton had been supervisor of the sporting goods, hardware, housewares, and toy departments in the main store of Denver Department Stores for three of the ten years he had worked for the chain. The four departments were situated adjacent to each other on the ground floor of the store.
