Automotive, which manufactures tailpipes, mufflers, and catalytic converters at several plans
hroushout North America. Because of pressure for lower selling prices, New City Muffler has had

- Q.NO.4. (08) Designing the Training A focus group was held with five managers to find out what they wanted from the training and to assess their concerns about performance management. This was a useful process. The managers wanted to include training in how to deal with difficult people, which otherwise may not have been included in the program. Including this also assured managers that their views were important and had been considered in the program’s design. The training would take place in-house and outside the normal workday. It was agreed that the most appropriate method was a two-hour workshop. The workshop would include various activities geared to develop the skills and knowledge of the participants: Trainer-ledinteractive Roleplay Use of aspecially designed case study.

The results trouble medical ethicists, who say more research is needed to determine whether doctors must deceive patients in order for placebos to work. The study involved 679 internists and rheumatologists chosen randomly from a national list of such doctors. In response to three questions included as part of the larger survey, about half reported recommending placebos regularly. Surveys in Denmark, Israel, Britain, Sweden and New Zealand have found similar results. The most common placebos the American doctors reported using were headache pills and vitamins, but a significant number also reported prescribing antibiotics and sedatives. Although these drugs, contrary to the usual definition of placebos, are not inert, doctors reported using them for their effect on…arrow_forward

HP Chairperson Patricia Dunn could have simply asked the directors who was the source cited in the story, sought an apology and gone from there. With some direct face-to-face communication, the story would likely have ended quickly. It did not. “Not only did investigators impersonate board members, employees and journalists to obtain their phone records, but according to multiple reports, they also surveilled an HP director and a reporter for CNet Networks Inc. They sent monitoring spyware in an e-mail to that reporter by concocting a phoney tip.
