Case Study 1 Hanqing Zhao (Bill) Martin Jiles, Executive Director of Express, was leading Express for 8 years. He had set up the “can-do” culture and the results-oriented management style to help this company achieved many goals and affect Express in many aspects. Such as the “can-do” attitude played an important role in installing MIRS computer system, which was widely refused to use in the country because it was hard to do. However, although Jiles had confidence in his culture, it seemed that was an old time story. There were a lot of problems came from this culture, and caused the scandal came to the public. As the leader of this company, he had the obligation to face it and solve it. Especially, the problems were caused by the core …show more content…
So that he tried some dangerous and sneaky way to fig the budget. He used network to do Preston’s request through the MIRS system. Tom Rogers was the North Base Supervisor. His primary goal was to ensure that enough buses were available to handle the runs scheduled for each day as the other Bases’ entire supervisor and all the chives. He had been with organization for 27 years and knew every work of the procedure, however, the extreme pressure he faced as base supervisor made him became “impatient”. He faced the pressure from the MBO and PFP plans that force him to tell the inspectors and mechanics to ignore various items on the different inspection cards and also asked them do not write “Bad Order”, which caused the fleet had potential safety problem. James Hensley, the brave inspector, found the problem and concluded that the system was wrong, so he decided to let the society know this issue and meet Centerville Globe reporter Ron Mendez to expose it. When the news came out, there were more serious problems uncovered. There were many subterfuges around the workers. The managers said the bus was repaired, but the truth is they just clean it and leave the same problem unfinished. There is a saying in the managers that the oil is cheaper than repair. Leave the unsafe buses run on the street is irresponsible and also commit the organizational cheating on the customers. In this case, I learned that a small

Among these leaders was Bravo Company’s 1st platoon’s SFC Robert Gallagher. The platoon endured terrible living conditions including no running water and filthy living space. These inadequate living conditions must be met with some relaxation on the standards they were expected to follow. Company leadership viewed this as a bribe to keep the soldiers in high spirits. In reality, they set the stage for the erosion of the morals the enlisted soldiers are supposed to possess. While the morals were being chipped away, so was the original plan the battalion had hoped to follow. Fragmentation orders became a pseudo-standard for the boys of Bravo Company. What had originally started as short-term overnight patrol bases turned into fortified traffic control points with the exception of any form of fortification other than in notion only. Despite the fact that platoon-level leadership requested for supplies they were repeatedly turned down. A major breakdown in the communication between the leadership created a loss in faith in the higher leadership for the lower-enlisted soldiers on the ground. Very soon into deployment, Bravo Company began to experience contact with unseen enemy forces. The enemy was able to engage and plant IED’s and cause casualties while remaining elusive. After the first few casualties within the company, the mission to start set up traffic control points was to begin. While conducting patrols down the road time and time

Operating on very thin profit margins, players in the supermarket industry traditionally either focus on a premium segment or follow a discounter strategy at the low end. Premium players address educated and more price elastic consumers who value healthy, natural and organic food; the share of perishable items for these players is normally distinctly higher. Players that focus on a discounter strategy offer a higher share of simple necessity items and value price competitiveness over premium features like healthiness or organic origin. Independently of the focused customer group it is imperative for players in the supermarket industry to be cost efficient and optimize operations

The United States Court of appeals ruled that the suppressed evidence is purely impeaching evidence and no defense request has been made, the suppressed evidence is material only if its introduction probably would have resulted in acquittal. Given a minor role of Phillips' testimony and the limited impact that Phelps statement had on the jury's assessment of Phillips credibility, Maddox could not demonstrate that so the evidence probably would have resulted in an acquittal. Also, the evidence was immaterial under United States V.Blasco; the defendant filed a joint motion to suppress all physical evidence gathered by the officers and any statements made by the defendant. The magistrate found that the defendant did not have to raise a fourth amendment challenge and its suppression did not violate his (Maddox’s) due process right. For ongoing reasons, the district court's dismissal of Maddox's habeas petition was affirmed.
