Case Study: Southern Sky Electrical

Lincoln Electric (LE) has been a producer of electrical and welding technology products since the late 1800's. The company remained primarily a family and employee held company until 1995, then approximately 40% of its equity went to the public. James Lincoln, one of the founders, developed unique management techniques that effectively motivated the employees. These management techniques were implemented as an unusual (for the era) structure of compensation and benefits called "incentive management". The incentive management system consisted of four key areas: factory jobs based solely on piecework output; a year-end bonus that could equal or exceeded an individual's regular pay; guaranteed employment; and limited benefits.

Bell California is a small blue collar community which is one of the poorest cities in Los Angeles County, where the politicians had an easy time of taking advantage of the community. There are just two main streets with one having small shops and another a few blocks away with a few commercial stores. Many of the residents that live in Bell work for the city or receive public aid so not many people would speak out against any corruption that might be occurring within the city. Much of the residents are Hispanic or Latino and many do not have a high school education. Because of this fact it made it easy for the local politicians to raise taxes for public services, give city contracts worth tens of millions of dollars to associates and give

In Greenman V. Yuba Power, the plaintiff was injured while using a power tool called the Shopsmith that was given to him as a gift from his wife in 1955. In 1957, while using the tool, the piece of wood he had been working without difficulty suddenly flew out and struck him on the head causing injuries. Ten and a half months later, he gave the retailer and manufacturer written notice of the claimed breaches of warranties and filed a complaint against them both alleging such breaches and negligence. After a trial before the jury, the court ruled there was no evidence that the retailer was negligent or breached an express warranty and that the manufacturer was not liable for the breach of any implied. The jury returned a verdict for the retailer

Industry participants performed new work, additions, alter- ations, and maintenance and repairs.2 The primary workers in the industry were jour- neyman electricians. In 2005, about 50 percent of electricians were employed in con- struction, 10 percent were self-employed, and 40 percent were distributed in various industries performing electrical-contracting-related work.3 Over 74 percent of the com- panies in the industry had ten or fewer employees.4 Many of the smaller local firms were nonunion and family owned and operated, as was J&J. Electrical contractors typically performed the job at the construction site; however, they performed certain specialty jobs in their own shops.

1. The main criteria FEL uses to assign managers to their projects include time constraints and expertise. Clearly, managers with heavy workloads will not do as well as those without significant current time constraints. Hence, the likelihood that the work will progress smoothly under such managers is greater than otherwise. Expertise is also an important requirement to ensure that a project runs smoothly. Hence, the combination of low time constraints with the highest level of expertise appears to be a good basis for successful projects. However, one potential danger of assigning an apparently random number of managers to teams who need to work closely together could create communication problems, especially if these managers have not worked together before, or indeed if severe personality clashes occur. Hence, it might be a good idea to conduct regular assessments of the progress of the work as well as how well managers function together, particularly in a remote location such as Abu Dhabi.

Stationary on the sidewalk we listen to nothing but silence of cars driving past. Is this the future of New York or even North America for that matter? 100 years ago Thomas Edison founded the electric lighting industry (Behr 40). During this time the gas lighting and electric lighting industry were fighting to be the most successful. The electric lighting industry had won and beat the gas lighting industry. Looking at how electric cars have influenced people to stop driving gas powered cars. This point was being foreshadowed over 100 years ago.Are these electric car companies looking for the same type of consumer rate? Electric vehicles many years ago accelerated up to approximately 48 km/h (30 mph) in 8.9 seconds (Behr 41). Reaching a top speed of approximately 96 km/h (60mph). These swift cars could drive 2 passengers 120 kilometers (75 miles) before recharging. Although the more passengers in the car the more energy the car would need. That meaning that if there were 4 passengers it would only be able to travel for 80 kilometers (50 miles)(Behr 41). The value of these cars, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and the higher capabilities of the electric cars will increase the consumption of electric cars on our roads. The more electric cars that go out on the road the more impact it will have on people 's’ lives becoming a happier, healthier, cheaper and less toxic type of environment all around the world.

The discussion between promoters of best practice and best fit approaches has sparked widespread controversy in the human resource management (HRM) area. The topic has gained much scholarly attention because it not only addresses a theoretical controversy but also possesses a high degree of practical managerial significance. The essay has the aim to analyse best practice and best fit approaches in HRM of a multinational enterprise. The reader receives insight into Lincoln Electric's organization through a case-study analysis of practical HR approaches serving as a basis for developing practical managerial implications in the last part of the paper.
