a bread manufacturer relies on maintenance employees to keep its rather quite old production equipment for their operation. Whenever the equipment breaks down, the maintenance team is able to repair the equipment quickly. However, they are less effective at avoiding these breakdowns and cannot predict when the equipment will break down. The maintenance group has modified the equipment over the years and, in any event, the manufacturer of the equipment is no longer in business. The maintenance employees teach each other how to repair the equipment, but have refused to document any of this information (saying that it is too difficult to document these details). The company owner has thought about firing the maintenance staff unless they document the maintenance procedures, but realizes that there is no one else who can repair the equipment. Discuss or explain the sources or types of power and contingencies (moderator) of power among the maintenance employees in this situation.
Please do not give solution in image format thanku Washburn Guitar maintains that each guitar it produces represents quality at the best possible price. Washburn has four price points: (1) entry level at $349 and below; (2) intermediate level at $1,000 and below; (3) professional level at $1,000 to $3,000; and (4) collectors level at $3,000 and above. Given that price often serves as a strong cue to quality, a potential Washburn customer could logically draw all but one of the following conclusions. Which conclusion is not logical? a.Although Washburn builds quality into every guitar, in fact there are four different levels of quality. b.Musicians seek to purchase instruments that meet the quality standards appropriate to their level of musical skill and competence. c.Guitars in the collector's line are the ones built with the highest level of craftsmanship and quality possible. d.Compromising on quality at the entry level will have little, if any, impact on perceptions of quality at…
BestLine Hardware In spring of last year, BestLine Hardware undertook an ambitious program to overhaul their supply chain. In early planning, BestLine predicted that they could save over 25% of their entire supply chain costs by streamlining and optimizing their practices. One of the areas that had the most promise for savings and efficiency was that of order communication and fulfillment. In the existing system, Bestline’s inventory management department triggered a request to the ordering department. The ordering department then created an order and faxed it out to one of their suppliers. The supplier marked down on the fax what could be fulfilled against the order and would fax it back to BestLine for processing. Over time, this fax-based system proved to be inefficient and error-prone. Faxes were often lost or garbled, and hand-written comments could be very difficult to interpret accurately. As a part of their supply-chain efficiency effort, BestLine decided that they would try to…

Choose all the answers that correctly explain why an incoming inspection can be safely eliminated by computer makers. SPC provides some assurance that the monitors are roughly uniform in quality. Prior inspection of the monitors saves the computer makers money because they are confident that the SPC of the monitor manufacturer ensures that all of the monitors are of acceptable quality. Assuming that uniform quality is sufficiently high, the purchaser does not need to inspect the monitors as they arrive because SPC has already achieved the goal of that inspection. Assuming that uniform quality is sufficiently high, the purchaser does not need to inspect the monitors as closely as if they had not been previously inspected. SPC provides some assurance that the monitors are absolutely uniform in quality. Prior inspection of the monitors saves the computer makers money because they are confident that the SPC of the monitor manufacturer ensures that most of…

Do not understand this paragraph, please explain what it is saying. Depending on the construction of the choice sequence, the quality inference can be vastly different. This paper meets these challenges by studying observational learning in perhaps its cleanest environment—the U.S. market of transplant kidneys. When a deceased-donor kidney is procured, compatible transplant candidates are sorted into a queue following a nationally implemented priority system. The kidney travels down the queue until a patient is willing to accept it for transplantation. It is ideal to study observational learning in this kidney market for the following reasons. First, decisions are sequential, and the sequence is constructed through a commonly known process. Second, privacy concerns and the limited decision time minimize the chance for between-patient communication. Meanwhile, observational learning is fully enabled in that all previous decisions are observable—the fact that a patient is offered a…
