Johnson and Johnson Case

Those who knew Bob Lyons thought extremely well of him. He was a highly successful executive who held an important position in a large company. As his superiors saw him, he was aggressive, with a knack for getting things done through other people. He worked hard and set a vigorous pace. He drove himself relentlessly. In less than ten years with his company, he had moved through several positions of responsibility.

Both the family, and the Wal-Mart acknowledge that the family was detained. The Wal-Mart associates believed that they had the right to stop the family based on the assumption of shoplifting, although they should not have physically restrained the family from advancing out of the store, nor denied Debra McCann’s offer of verifying the family’s identity.

This week’s case study, Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989), Gregory Lee Johnson burned an American flag in front of Dallas City Hall as a means of protest against the policies of the Reagan administration. He was arrested by Dallas police officers and he was charged with violating section 42.09(a)(3) of the Texas Penal Code, which prohibited the “desecration of a venerable object.” In this case, it was the contention of the arresting officers that burning the American flag was an act of desecration which was punishable by law. Section 42.09(a)(3) of the Texas Penal Code was enacted by the Texas State Legislature, at the time when this matter was brought to trial, the parties involved were the State of Texas and Mr. Gregory Lee Johnson. The case was heard by three lower courts before it reached the United States Supreme Court. List those three courts in order, beginning with the court that has the most authority and ending with the court that has the least

The next problem to arise is just as frustrating as the previous problems. Carl checks on the training room that he is planning on using for orientation. When he walks into the room he sees Joe, from technology, setting up computers all around the room. He finds out quickly that the training room has been reserved for both himself and Joe for the month of June so that Joe can train employees on a new software. It has been a very stressful day for Carl and after all of the issues he has found concerning the new trainee orientation, Carl panics.

Mayor Edward Johnson’s deposition was taken in December 1812 by John E. Dorsey as part of the Maryland House of Delegates Committee of Grievances and Courts of Justice inquiry into the June and July riots in Baltimore City earlier that year. The deposition begins with a narrative of events followed by scripted lines of inquiry. Additionally, the narrative and answers to the interrogations given by Mayor Johnson are extremely thorough and well-structured. In an open letter at the conclusion of the deposition, Mayor Johnson admits to the committee that he included much of his own motives and conduct because “the interrogatories embrace them, and direct me to it.” Also in the open letter, Mayor Johnson explained his thought processes and motivations throughout the day’s events; a unique attribute amongst the catalog of depositions. Lastly, Mayor Johnson’s deposition references interactions he had with other deposed individuals on those days providing fruitful research routes. Therefore, the deposition is considered a credible document and was

I believe that it´s the same offender in the Parkinson case and the Johnson case, which is making the offender a serial killer because he has killed 3 people and it has been over a period over 30 days. By looking at different serial killer typologies my firm belief is that this offender will fall into the lust serial killer typology. I concluded this by firstly looking if the crimes were act-focused kills or process kills, I concluded it was process kills because the offender had taken the time to abduct both Parkinson and Johnson and didn 't just kill them right away like an act-focused killer would do. With the offender being a process killer he could only be organized as well because process killers cannot be disorganized. The offender would either be a lust killer, power-control killer or a thrill killer. I concluded that the offender in this case would not be a thrill serial killer, since this kind of murderer gets off my seeing his victims suffering, which is the most important factor for this type of offender. In the Parkinson and Johnson murders there were no signs of torture on the victims bodies and therefore I do not believe that this offender would be a thrill serial killer.

Obviously, the wood yard employees in the class are convinced that they will lose their jobs as a result of the reengineering program. There is some logic to their argument, in that most recent changes have resulted in reductions in the mill work force. What is needed is for David to immediately address all of the wood yard employees about the process, honestly answering all of their questions. Jim Dixon will not be able to successfully complete the training sessions until these workers’ issues are dealt with. It appears that the changes were either poorly explained or not explained sufficiently to the wood yard staff. They have seen multiple waves of layoffs and know that the mill is under constant pressure to increase productivity and

A few weeks earlier, John M. Case, board chairman, president, and sole owner of the

Pharmed First Inc. is a widely successful chain pharmaceutical company with 85 drugstores located in Canada’s Atlantic provinces. George Brenner is one of the 6 regional managers and Angela MacFee is a store manager in a mall located in Dartmouth. One of MacFee’s loyal customers have purchased 9 packages of Diet Magic on September 2011 however wanted to return them on May 2012. Subsequently, MacFee reacted hastily and defensively, arguing with Johnston in spite of Pharmed First Inc. return policy (Figure 1). As a result, Johnston wrote a letter to Frank Chen, the president of Pharmed First Inc. and told Brenner to deal with it. He proposed that the company gives Johnston a $500 voucher and that MacFee apologizes. However, MacFee remained inflexible as she also challenged Brenner’s authority.

Carter Racing and NASA examples discussed in the class taught us the value of the voice of dissension. While Stevens acts like the character of Tom from Carter Racing, Jack Bryant from Personnel Audit team would have been the voice of Paul. Carter should have included him on the team and listened to his experiences while talking to the employees and their managers. After all, his “on-the-ground” experience and intuition gained through the audit process was more likely to reveal the real situation than PAS or the brief audit reports. Just as NASA, after the Challenger Disaster instituted a rule that a launch could be vetoed by anyone in the team, including Jack in the conversation would have served as an antidote to overconfidence bias that would otherwise creep in.

In the case of Steinway & Sons, two investment bankers, Dana Messina and Kyle Kirkland are faced with the question of how to build on the business. Steinway & Sons was established in 1853 in New York City, by Henry Engelhard Steinway, a German immigrant who became well known for his technical excellence in piano production. It is a 140 year old company, and has been recognized as a leader in the market for high quality grand pianos. The primary problem facing Messina and Kirkland is whether they should continue producing high-end, top quality vertical and grand pianos or pursue a more aggressive plan, including the mid-priced line of Steinway pianos. Does it make sense to sell a mid-priced
