I. Background In 1993, Tucker company underwent an extensive reorganization in the company that divided it into 3 major divisions, which represented Tuckers 3 major product lines. These were commercial jet engines, military jet engines and utility turbines. Each of these divisions is to be headed by VP's who will directly report to the company's president, Mr. Harnett. Each of these divisions will have their own engineering, manufacturing, accounting departments etc. Also, it will sometimes be necessary for divisions to utilize the services of other divisions or departments so that no additional staffing and facilities costs would be realized. One example of a shared department is the laboratory. The manager of the laboratory directly reports to the manager of the military jet engine division. In 1999, Mr. Garfield, the laboratory manager retired, and during his service, little interdepartmental conflict was experienced. Ms. Hodge replaced Mr. Garfield, and Ms. Hodge was eager to gain the attention of management. Most of her colleagues perceived her as someone who was more interested in her own advancement than in the company's. In the 6 months that Ms. Hodge was with Tucker, she was involved in several interdepartmental conflicts. In the past, the engineering departments used the laboratory as a testing facility to determine properties of materials selected by design engineers. Ms. Hodge felt that the laboratory should be more involved in the selection of these materials and the design of experiments and subsequent evaluations of experimental data. Ms. Hodge discussed this matter with Mr. Franklin of the engineering department of the utility turbine division. Mr. Franklin offered to consult with Ms. Hodge but said that the final responsibility for selection was charged to his department. Following this confrontation, other conflicts arose over the implementation of the results. Mr. Franklin told Ms. Hodge that, because of her position at the testing lab, she was unable to appreciate the detailed design considerations that affected the final decision on materials selection. Ms. Hodge claimed that Mr. Franklin lacked the materials expertise she, as a metallurgist, had. Franklin also noticed that his requests took longer under Ms. Hodge's management, compared to that of Mr. Garfield's. Ms. Hodge explained that military jet engine problems had to be assigned first priority because of the administrative structure. She also said that if she were more involved in Mr. Franklin's problems, she would be able to appreciate his sense of urgency, and revise priorities in the process.
In November 2004, Scott Peterson was found guilty and charged with two counts of murder for the death of his 8-month pregnant wife Laci Peterson, and prenatal son Conner Peterson. It was not until one month later, the jury had recommended Scott Peterson to be sentenced to death by lethal injection. Before his conviction, there was no substantial evidence submitted during the trial that linked Peterson directly to the death of his wife and their unborn child. In fact, the only physical evidence presented to the court was a single strand of Laci Peterson’s hair attached to a pair of Scott’s pliers. The evidence was deemed circumstantial on the basis that it did not deliberately constitute as the murder weapon. The pliers were not found alongside
In Tim Seibles' poem, The Case, he reviews the problematic situations of how white people are naturally born with an unfair privilege. Throughout the poem, he goes into detail about how colored people become uncomfortable when they realize that their skin color is different. Not only does it affect them in an everyday aspect, but also in emotional ways as well. He starts off with stating how white people are beautiful and continues on with how people enjoy their presence. Then he transitions into how people of color actually feel when they encounter a white person. After, he ends with the accusation of the white people in today's world that are still racist and hateful towards people of color.

Consequently, Jones reported she suffered adverse employment action by her superiors, who “treated her rudely and changed her job responsibilities” (Motos, 1998).
Defendants who want to die, or “volunteers”, as they are frequently named, pose unique difficulties for the criminal justice system. The first person put to death in the post Furman era, Gary Gilmore, was a volunteer. At Gilmore’s trial, adversary proceeding were conducted in both the guilt and punishment stages. At the appellate level, however, Gilmore insisted that he did not want to appeal to the Utah Supreme Court and desired to be put to death instantly. Many other volunteers have followed this since Gilmore’s death was carried out. Some have attempted to forgo court procedures at the appellate court level, like

The Coop has no major market research to go off of in order to effectively position them in a changing market. R&D doesn't seem to be supported by good research in the market segments.
Lowe’s should renew its efforts to acquire Rona since opting to enter the Canadian market as a green-field is more costly. By acquiring Rona, an already established company operating 79 big box locations and 700 smaller stores, Lowe’s would avert the costs of producing French ads and signage for Quebec customers, building French website as well as changing its weight metrics and measurement units. This will also give the company a chance to penetrate the Canadian market and strengthen its distribution network and cost-effectiveness and thus boost its operating efficiency. Moreover, gaining a chunk of

As humans, we have pointless arguments over things that do not matter. For example: currently, many people all over the world are arguing over whether or not water is wet. No one really cares about the true answer. It is just something to talk about. Well, meaningless arguments have always been a thing to do, but no one ever expected anything like a friendly argument to go to the Supreme Court. In 1893, a case made it all the way to the Supreme Court which argued over whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable (Caitlin Dewey, The Washington Post.com). Personally, I have always considered a tomato a vegetable, but technically the seeds are enclosed inside of the plant so would that make it a fruit?
The laboratory experiment gives the experimenter a greater chance to control the conditions and enables you to measure behaviour with greater precision. This method also allows for quantative research and also enables greater control of variables. Although it gives the experimenter greater control, this can also seem daunting to the subject who may feel more uncomfortable and is less likely to ...
Erik Peterson faced a number of challenging situations with Jeff Hardy, a high level employee with CelluComm, the parent company of GMCT. At first we see an awkward relationship with Jeff Hardy whom Peterson had been assigned to work under by Ric Jenkins, partly due to the lack of concrete relationship guidelines between the two (Sami, 2013). Hardy had very little operational experience, and Peterson felt that he was unable to receive constructive guidance from Hardy. As a subordinate to Hardy, Peterson should have instead attempted to resolve this problem early on as it was a critical relationship within the GMCT Company. Consulting Hardy by letting him know of his concerns would have been a more efficient and respectful manner in handling the situation. This relationship building would also have been integral in facing the Peterson-Hardy communication issues with respect to the local municipalities and fire department. Operant Learning Theory (Johns & Saks, 2014, p.54) suggests that as a result of this negative consequence Peterson should be able to improve his interpersonal skills specifically with superiors within the organization moving forward. As a subordinate to Hardy, Peterson should have instead attempted to resolve this problem early on as it was a critical relationship within the GMCT Company.
My understanding of case management comes from an accumulation of lecture, readings, and a little bit of research. At first I thought case management meant to manage a case, which it kind of does, but it is a lot of background work that goes unnoticed from the workers part. One thing for sure I can say about case management is that is a very stressful and demanding job for the worker, therefore, you have to be a responsible worker, so that your client can hopefully get the services and resources he or she may need. As a case management worker your responsibilities are many, for example you are to educate, empower and enable your client to be self sufficient.
