...Case 16 – Part A 1. At this point, what are your predictions about Jennifer as the interim vice president? A glance thru Jennifer’s background at Mid-West U, briefly details out what type of person she is. She was well known and admired among her peers for her devotion to the University as well as for her energy and charm. Her characteristics portray how she devotes her entire life to her work and her social environment. She succeeds in her teaching career and administrative positions but being selected as the interim vice president doesn’t guarantee her any success. Being selected as the number-two person at the top of the organization will be a challenge, but it will allow her to manage people and have the opportunity to decide what’s best for Mid-West U Both of which are new tasks for her. “Big Five Personality Traits” The majority of personality tests qualify different personality aspects by five main traits. These traits are listed below. 1. Extraversion: outgoing, sociable, assertive. 2. Agreeableness: good-natured, trusting, cooperative. 3. Conscientiousness: responsible, dependable, persistent. 4. Emotional Stability: unworried, secure, relaxed. 5. Openness to Experience: imaginative, curious, broad-minded. These are not “types” of personalities, but dimensions of personality. So someone’s personality is the combination of each of their Big Five personality characteristics. For Jennifer, she may be very sociable (high Extroversion), very friendly (high...

...Case Study: The New Vice President Part A 1. At this point, what are your predictions about Jennifer as interim vice president? Jennifer seems to be a qualified choice. She is familiar with the University, has good relationships, and appears to have the appropriate back round that qualifies her for the position. It is difficult to predict at this point due to several factors. 1) Will her relationships with her coworkers affect her decisions where they are concerned? 2) How will she work with the new President, who she barely knows. At this point, It appears Jennifer will have some transitioning, but there does not seem to be anything that would drastically keep her from growing into her new position. 2. What do you predict will be her management/leadership style? Jennifer's leadership style looks like it will follow in the mold of consideration. She has strong interpersonal relationships with her now subordinates and will likely focus on maintaining those relationships as part of her style. While this can be a good thing, Jennifer will have to make sure that her new subordinates also accept her authority. 3. What are her strengths and weaknesses? What is the basis for this assessment? Jennifer's strengths will be her familiarity with the University, the relationships she has developed, and her dedication she has demonstrated to the University. Her weaknesses will be the transition into her new position and how that may affect colleagues who are now subordinates...

...anticipating over the next several years, as well as to continue the development of its senior leadership team. The new organizational structure has been designed to better align business units with common activities by taking advantage of natural synergies and to better balance responsibilities to facilitate growth. The new structure includes three major operating regions: U.S. Onshore; Eastern Mediterranean; and U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GOM), Africa and Frontier. Included in the U.S. Onshore region will be the Company's rapidly growing unconventional horizontal developments in the Marcellus Shale and DJ Basin, which should help facilitate the rapid transfer of best practices and learnings between these areas. The Eastern Mediterranean has become a very material region on its own requiring focused senior leadership as a result of Tamar recently coming on stream and several future projects being planned for offshore Israel and Cyprus. The combined U.S. GOM, Africa and Frontier region allows the Company to focus on its very material deepwater operations while preparing for the impacts of exploration success in the new areas it will be testing. Other significant changes include the creation of a Global Operations Services organization and a Corporate Development group. In addition, two senior advisory positions to the CEO and COO have been established to work with the new leadership teams to ensure performance remains best in class, to provide continuity of partner and government relations...

...the first companies to develop a method for mass production of penicillin. In the 1950’s Lilly began to expand in to the world market and began to experiment with different business portfolio strategies. Lilly also launched two powerful antibiotics during this year for patients that did not benefit from or were allergic to penicillin. In 1960 Lilly launched the first in a line oral and injectable antibiotics in the cephalosporin family and two anti cancer drugs. In 1970 Lilly launched the world’s top selling antibiotic, Ceclor. They also began to diversify their portfolio with the purchase of Elizabeth Arden in 1971 and IVAC in 1977. In 1982 Lilly pioneered and introduced the first genetically engineered drug. Lilly also launched a new drug for the treatment of clinical depression in the 1980’s. Prozac became their top seller and accounted for almost 30 percent of the company sales. In the 1990’s Lilly also introduced a stream of innovative products, but began to be affected by the changes in health care management. In an attempt to combat these changes and the development of Pharmaceutical Benefits Management companies (PBM’s) Lilly purchased PCS Health Systems in 1994. When this investment did not work as planned Lilly sold PCS Health Systems resulting in a write off in 1997. In the late 1990’s Lilly focused their structure on...

...“The Vice-President of the US has no real importance, only potential importance as the next president.” How far do you agree with the view? The executive is the core of the government, where policy is formed and executed. In the USA there is a presidential executive, providing the political leadership of the country. The role of the president is outlined in Article 2. All executive power is vested in one president, elected separately from Congress with his own mandate. It is a single-person executive and president’s cabinet has no constitutionally derived power or electoral mandate, and the president may or may not seek their advice when making decisions (unlike the “cabinet government” in the UK, which is a plural executive drawn from Parliament). Although the president does have enumerated powers, more media attention than the Vice President and more overall power in the executive, the Vice President has more importance than just potentially becoming the next president. The president has formal enumerated powers, which makes him more important than the vice president who is elected under him. The president is chief executive and executive power is only given to the president, rather than shared between the president and the vice president. The executive branch is under presidential control and he is responsible for the federal budget, setting out and implementing the policy agenda for the USA. The executive powers also include the power of patronage and pardon. For example...
