...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.

The relationship is put forward by Adam • Smith who was the British bourgeois classical economist. In 1776, the theory emerged in his most important literature which was named Wealth of Nations. The theory holds the view that all human behavior is to satisfy the self-interest (Hung-Wen & Ching-Hsiang, 2009). Actually people should strive for the maximum economic benefit and working is to obtain economic returns. For this reason, the employees’ attitude that plays the role as the inner motivation of the work will makes a great impact on the perceptions and judgments on the work (Boardman & Sundquist, 2008). What is more, the employees’ attitude also will promote their learning knowledge and improve the endurance in the work. As a result, the self-motivation has more spiritual strength than the spontaneous working from the employees. In...

...Case Study: Getting and Using Compensation Information “Compensation is a systematic approach to providing monetary value to employees in exchange for work performed. Compensation may achieve several purposes assisting in recruitment, job performance, and job satisfaction. Compensation is a tool used by management for a variety of purposes to further the existence of the company. Compensation may be adjusted according to the business needs, goals, and available resources.” The three careers I chose for this case study are Public Relations Specialist, High School Teacher, and Project Coordinator. The reason for me choosing these specific careers was that I’ve held each one at some point in time. In this case study we will examine why each job has different salary ranges and why. Question #1 Doing this research I’ve come to find that out of the three jobs that I selected, a project coordinator is paid the most on average. The project coordinator is paid $89,509 a year on average. I was shocked to find out that out of the three careers chosen, that a public relations specialist is paid the least of all three. The public relations specialist on average is paid $45,931 a year. I expected that the project coordinator position would be the highest paid out of the three, however I did not expect for the teacher to be paid more ($53,447 a year on average) than the public relations specialist. I expected the teacher to be paid the least of all three. Usually teachers are thought...

...Issues at NEWGEN In this case study, a manager named Abdul has to deal with one of his subordinate named Hahn Chen who problem working along with another colleague has named Amie Lee. Chen wishes to be transfer and report directly to Abdul instead of Ms. Lee because Ms. Lee is not a technical supervisor. This is typical problem between employees that happens often in a working environment. A problem like this often helps demonstrate conflict managing and how good a manager is. The problem Abdul face covers many areas of organizational behavior such as conflict and negotiation, organizational change and stress management, communication, personality and values. One of theories that are covered in this case is resistance of change. According this theory, Hahn Chen is the employee who has negative feeling about change cope by not thinking about it, increasing in his unsatisfying and quitting. Resistance can be overt, implicit, immediate, or deferred. The greater challenge is managing resistance that is implicit or deferred. In order to overcome resistance to change, we have eight tactics can help. There are: education and communication, participation, building support and commitment, develop positive relationship, implementing changes fairly, manipulation and cooptation, selecting people who accept change and coercion. One more theory is covered by this case is interpersonal relationships conflict. The conflict process normally has five stages which are potential opposition or incompatibility...

As a consequence, these firms often use entry modes characterised by low resource commitment, including partnership agreements (strategic alliances). This paper, investigates which partner selection criteria that are important for this group of firms when they are selecting partners. Based on case studies of three Norwegian firms targeting the UK market, five selection criteria have been identified as important (trust, relatedness of business, access to networks, access to market knowledge, reputation), one has been identified as partly important (sharing of financial risk), and ten have been identified as having limited importance. Further, the paper discusses the implications of these results for managers of small firms entering international markets and presents recommendations for further research.

...CASE STUDY Chapter SIX CASE 6-1 Case Study on “Transfer Pricing Problems” Case SUMMARY Division A of Lambda Company manufactures product X, which is sold to Division B as a component of product Y. Product Y is sold to Division C, which uses it as a component of Product Z. Product Z is also sold to customers outside of the Company. The intracompany pricing rule is that product are transferred between divisions as standard cost plus 10 percent return on inventories and fixed assets.

...Reputation in Jeopardy Chapter 15 – Conflict and Negotiation Conflict can be defined as a process that begins when one party perceives that another party has negatively affected or is about to negatively affect, something that the first party cares about. Chapter 15 of our textbook, Organizational Behavior, discusses the concept of conflict in great deal, as well as identifies the process of negotiation as means to resolve conflict. Many of the topics covered in the chapter have a direct implication to the case study, Reputation in Jeopardy, and can be used to both analyze and provide insight into the possible future behavior of the characters in the study. The case can be broken down into three main questions: 1. What are the main conflicts between the characters? 2. How do the concepts of conflict relate to this case? 3. What course of action should the characters take to resolve their conflicts? The intention of this paper is to answer these questions. What are the main conflicts between the characters? In this case the main conflict occurs between the main character Amber Borden, and her co-worker Lydia Ulmass, but another conflict is also seen between Amber and her boss Sarah Davis. To describe these conflicts a brief summary of the events leading towards the conflict is necessary. Amber is a special events planner for Home Savings of America. The company is about to be taken over by Washington Mutual, so Lydia asks Amber’s department if she can borrow some...

...Housing Helpers Case Study 1 By Kevin Wilkerson BUS-4046 Employee and Labor Relations U07A1 Instructor Andrew Ansoorian May 26th, 2014 As the contract negotiation continues between Beth and Jim: Beth: That sounds very tempting Jim, but even though the CPI has risen by just 2%, the cost of living has risen by 3.5% and the working force needs that money now to support their families. Jim: Well, is there any other thing that we can propose that might get us closer to an agreement? Beth: Well, Jim, I think that we will hold a membership meeting to see where the members stand on this issue and your offer of 2% each year for 4 years. Jim: Ok, we will reschedule another session after the meeting. Another meeting resumes: Beth: The members have met and we have a couple of other proposals that might be of interest to you. Jim: Ok, what do you have in mind? Beth: We would like to propose a 3%. Cost of living allowance increase as well as an additional 5 days paid vacation for all employees, and work hours that are flexible such as 4 10 hour days or a 5/4/9 schedule which would keep production up, but allow the employees to spend more time with their families also. Jim: Beth, we simply cannot afford for employees to receive such a pay increase right now, but the alternative work hours might be something that we can talk about. Beth: HR has run the numbers, and the number of employees that have seniority and are getting up there in age are costing us more in...
