Please read the case and answer the questions at the end. Please respond to two of your peers. Do you agree or disagree? State University employs a large number of graduate students to work as teaching assistants. The teaching assistants often complain about their work. They feel that faculty and administrators demand too much. A common complaint is their low wages. The graduate students frequently point out that they do much the same work as faculty members, yet they receive only a very small percentage of the pay that faculty members receive. They also claim that faculty members frequently treat them unfairly. Teaching assistants are often asked to do large amounts of grading in very short time periods. Many also feel that faculty members are not very good at communicating expectations. In response to the dissatisfaction of the teaching assistants, a local union representing public workers has begun efforts to organize a labor union. Union representatives have obtained campaign card…
Case: You are vice president of a small company that has been chartered by a group of about a dozen main investors. (It’s incorporated, but not publicly held.) The company does software development for other small businesses. Your boss, the president and CEO of the company, thinks that the company needs to expand and hire more software designers. (She thinks that there is a good opportunity to get qualified people since so many talented software engineers have been put out of work with the bursting of the “dot-com bubble.”) In addition, she thinks it would be a good idea to rent some more office space to house the new people, and to upgrade the company’s main computer system. These strike you as good ideas for growing the business, but there is one problem–the company has neither enough current profits or remaining investment capital to take on these new projects. Fortunately (well, maybe it is fortunate, maybe it is not), there is a meeting of the investors scheduled for next week.…

Please agree/disagree and add more information regarding the below message (from a management perspective). "AI and machine learning have helped us come an extremely long way, especially in the business world. Because of AI, there has been huge improvement in areas such as the speed of business, customer service, reduction of error, and many other things that have improved the business setting. Today, AI has become so important that many businesses would fail without it. However, something that concerns me in regards to AI is the power that it has. In many instances, AI is a cheap form of labor. In the long run, paying a one time price for machines that will cut and create a business' clothing is much cheaper than paying laborers by the hour to do the same exact tasks. As a result, consumers would pay less for these goods, as the costs of production would be much lower. Besides laborers, AI also puts other workers in a position to be taken over within due time. Even now, we see…

The case introduces three companies of very different sizes with three different onboarding approaches. Which approach sounds best to you? Why? New employees at Sun Microsystems begin their orientation sessions after being hired with a computer game. It is part of an attempt to integrate new people, improve the image of the company, get feedback, and start training. Looking over the shoulder of a new employee, one would see the person playing a computer game called “Dawn of the Shadow Spectors,” battling evil forces that are trying to destroy Sun’s network.Before Sun changed its orientation program, an employee’s first day at work consisted mostly of filling out paperwork, as in most companies. Some new employees waited 2 weeks to get e-mail, and people who worked remotely sometimes waited weeks or months before meeting their managers.The chief learning officer at Sun said, “We wanted to make a better first impression,” unlike that made on an employee’s first day if the company/manager…
Should We Go Beyond the Law? Nathan Rosillo stared out his office window at the lazy curves and lush, green, flower-lined banks of the Dutch Valley River. He had grown up near here, and he envisioned the day his children would enjoy the river as he had as a child. But now his own company might make that a risky proposition. Nathan is a key product developer at Chem-Tech Corporation, an industry leader. Despite its competitive position, Chem-Tech has experienced several quarters of dismal financial performance. Nathan and his team have developed a new lubricant product that the company sees as the turning point in its declining fortunes. Top executives are thrilled they can produce the new product at a significant cost savings because of recent changes in environmental regulations. Regulatory agencies have loosened requirements on reducing and recycling wastes, which means Chem-Tech can now release waste directly into the Dutch Valley River. Nathan is as eager as anyone to see…
