...Week 7 Case Study: Deal v. Spears HRMG 5700 December 8, 2013 Deal v. Spears Case Summary This case is about a woman named Sibbie Deal that was employed at the White Oaks Package Store that operates as a liquor store located near Camden, Arkansas and it is owned and operated by Newell and Juanita Spears. She began to work at this store on December 31, 1989. Around April 21, 1990 the store was broken into and about $16,000 was stolen. The Spears were under the suspicion that it was an inside job and based on Mrs. Deal testimony they suspected she was directly involved in the theft. Hoping that Mrs. Deal admitted her involvement on the situation the Spears thought about using a recording device to monitor the telephone calls. At the deposition according to Mr. Spears he asked Mr. Cope the Sheriff Department Investigator about starting to record the calls and he said he did not see anything wrong by doing that. Once the device was installed and the conversations were monitored when Mrs. Spears was listening to a tape she found out that Mrs. Deal sold a keg of beer to Calvin Lucas which at the time they were having an extramarital affair at a discounted price violating the store policy. After Mrs. Deal came to work and the Spears played the incriminating tape which consequently got her fired. Several weeks after the incident Mrs. Deal and Mr. Lucas filed an action causing the tapes and the recorder to be seized by a United States deputy marshal...

...Running Header: Organizational Change MICHAEL HEDRICK BUS610 ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR WEEK# 6 JOSEPHINE CAROLA 03/26/2012 ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE 1 INTRODUCTION Organizational Change is when a company or organization goes through a transformation that occurs when business strategies or major sections of the organization are altered. Planned change is an effort to move an organization to a higher level. Unplanned change happens when pressures of external factors are so overwhelming that resistance to change is unavoidable. Today it is commonplace to note that the volatility of changes confronting organizations has dramatically increased (Greenwood & Hinings, 2006). In this paper I will describe the organizational change that my company implemented when taking over a college bookstore that it obtained in a multi-bid competition. Given the opportunity to advance within the company, a stable work environment will lead to job satisfaction and a long-term commitment to the organization. Organizational change is by no means a distinct discipline with clearly defined boundaries. It borrows from a number of disciplines, making it difficult to define its core concepts (Burnes, 2005). In order for a merger or takeover to be successful, organizational change must have participation and commitment from the employees affected. DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE My...

...Memorandum TO: Georgia Sias, Director of Class “A” Centers of Louisiana FROM: Dala S. Stansbury, Director of Kid’s Corner Christian Academy DATE: May 16, 2012 SUBJECT: Improving employee morale and productivity in childcare facilities Attached is my proposal to provide director based training on improving morale among teachers and staff. The success of our centers is based on our parent-staff relations. According to 2012 Home daycare overview, daycare centers are now rated below average among in- home centers (Baby Center Medical Advisory Board, 2012). From my experience, parents are complaining that they are not having a good experience when speaking with teachers about behavior matters or in receiving reports of their child’s day. I have investigated further by listening to parents’ constant complaints of how upon entering the center they feel unwelcomed by the tone teachers are using and the lack of concern among directors. Centers in Louisiana are having a problem keeping their staff motivated, which leads to problems that impact the center as a whole. This project will educate directors and staff about the significance of high morale in daycare facilities. When the morale is high, teachers are happy and it is reflected in the lesson plans and interaction with the children. I will discuss the benefits of having a great director, how it correlates to improving the environment of your center...

...October 2012 SOUNDVIEW Executive Book Summaries www.summary.com Management ® The Power of Habit Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business THE SUMMARY IN BRIEF In The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg, award-winning business reporter for The New York Times, takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. By distilling vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to light a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation. Along the way, we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the successful promotion of Pepsodent; to Tony Dungy who led his team to a Super Bowl win by changing one step in his players’ habit loop; and to Alcoa when it turned itself around by changing just one routine within the organization. At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. By harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities and our lives. by Charles Duhigg ...

...Summary The man-apes of the world, who lived by gathering berries and nuts, were facing a lack of food. A giant monolith appeared on Earth one day and began to experiment with many of them, probing and developing their minds. Among those in whom the monolith took an interest was Moon-Watcher, the only man-ape who walked fully upright. At night, a few select man-apes were taught and during the day, they innovated. Moon-Watcher discovered that he could fashion tools with which to kill animals for sustenance—the man-apes' hunger problem was solved. Time passed and the man-ape evolved. His brain grew, he invented language and organized into civilizations, and he invented weapons—first knives, but then guns and finally nuclear missiles. Such innovations had been central in man's dominion over earth, but "as long as they existed, he was living on borrowed time." Eager to embark on another space mission, Dr. Heywood Floyd arrived at the Florida launch location after meeting with the president. He offered no comment to the press, nor would he reveal the details of mission to the crew that served him so faithfully on board or to his Russian friend whom he encounters at the joint U.S.-U.S.S.R. space station, a stop on his journey to the Moon. Upon his arrival, Floyd is greeted by a top official of the Moon colony and whisked off to a meeting. A lead scientist explains that they had found a magnetic disturbance in Tycho, one of the Moon's craters. An examination of the area had revealed...

...The Colonial Legacy in African Management: West Africa (1950s to 1970s) and South Africa (1990-2000s) Stephanie Decker sdecker@hbs.edu Abstract The colonial legacy in Africa has determined the development of management on the continent, as the comparison between the historical case of Africanisation in Ghana and Nigeria in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s with South Africa in the 1990s and 2000s highlights. Despite the fact that Ghana and Nigeria were not settler colonies, when white managers were replaced with blacks (who previously only occupied subordinate positions in the colonial or Apartheid systems), most companies in Africa faced similar problems. In the quest for legitimacy in the eyes of local elites and the international community companies were tempted to resort to ineffectual window-dressing, or failed to develop the talent of black staff who face disapproval not only from white but also from less successful black colleagues. In case of successful promotion of black managers, skilled white personnel was often driven away by the lack of opportunities, while capable black staff was frequently poached with better offers by competitors. The creation of a black elite with significantly higher income than the majority population was also frequently divisive and undermined corporate social responsibility claims.

...96 ARTWORK BY AMY NINC The Toyota story has been intensively researched and painstakingly documented, yet what really happens inside the company remains a mystery. Here's new insight into the unspoken rules that give Toyota its competitive edge. Decoding the DNA of the Toyota Production System by Steven Spear and H. Kent Bowen long been hailed as the source of Toyota's outstanding performance as a manufacturer. The system's distinctive practices -its kanhan cards and quahty circles, for instance - have been widely introduced elsewhere. Indeed, following their own internal efforts to henchmark the world's best manufacturing companies, GM, Ford, and Chrysler have independently created major initiatives to develop Toyota-like production systems. Companies that have tried to adopt the system can be found in fields as diverse as aerospace, consumer products, metals processing, and industrial products. What's curious is that few manufacturers have managed to imitate Toyota successfully-even though the company has been extraordinarily open about its practices. Hundreds of thousands of executives from thousands of businesses have toured Toyota's plants in Japan and the United States. Frustrated by their inability to replicate Toyota's performance, many visitors assume that the secret of Toyota's success must lie in its cultural roots. But that's just not the case. Other Japanese companies, such as Nissan and Honda, have fallen short of Toyota's standards, and Toyota has...
