- In a meeting with members of Strategic Management committee in your company, you ask middle managers about the recent performance in the marketing department and their thoughts about the reasons behind it. They state that their performance goals are set too high, with the vast majority of their employees missing their individual targets across the board. In your education and training to be an organizational behavior consultant, you studied various needs-based motivational theories such as: Maslow's hierarchy • McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y The Two-Factor theory Your Task Which of the motivational theory do you think is best for describing human behavior in the workplace? Based on that, elaborate how the chosen theory can help in creating a work environment using reward strategies, work-life balance considerations, and other approaches to motivate employees to achieve the performance goals?How can stages of production be used to determine the most profitable number of workers to hireDefine managerial economics and its relation with economics theory and decision science?
- Create a backround of the study regarding Nepotism in the workplace: - provide introduction about nepotism, and answer the question: is it a problem ? why ? or why not ? - Provide the accurate definitions of nepotism according to different scholars - Answer the question: How will you know if someone is hired through nepotism? - cite some cases about how nepotism in workplace works - give some criteria that proves that someone is hired through nepotism - focus on both positive and negative side of nepotism - provide legit source and authentic citations - provide citation to every claim - sources should be specific, for example, name and yearAccording to the Economics Policy Institute (Mishel and Wolfe, 2019) CEO pay has grown 940% since 1978 while the compensation of the average worker has only risen 12%. While you can easily find sources that provide statistics that conflict with these numbers, you would be hard pressed to find any credible source that refutes the idea that the rate of pay of CEO’s and other upper-level managers has not dramatically increased relative to an organization’s lower-level employees in just about any 10 or more year period over the past 60 years. In the world of Adam Smith, the “invisible hand” of the free market capitalistic model would address inequities/out of balances. Are the forces represented by the “invisible hand” working? Why or why not? Is there an ethical dimension to the discussion of upper-level manager compensation? Why or why not? How does (or does it?) levels of pay of upper management impact the rest of us commoners?In a tradeoff between two decision criteria such as ease of commuting and attractiveness of job, can you use money as a common denominator to estimate precise tradeoffs? State your reasons. Illustrate using the following tradeoff matrix. What sort of salary differences would it take for commute time to trump job attractiveness?Decision Criteria Monetary Issues Other IssuesCommute Time Medium MediumJob Attractiveness High Medium
- It is easy to conclude that when hiring workers in the short run whose marginalproductivity rises, the average product of labor will rise as well. However, if workersproductivity declines, average product of labor may still be rising. Explain why this mayhappen.The principle of negligent hiring states a. potential employees must exercise due care when deciding whether to take a job at a company b. not hiring enough workers is negligent because it increases the workload of employees and may lead to defective products c. employers may be liable if their employees cause harm to to others, even if they are not on the job site d. hiring too many workers is negligent because it drives down wagesExplain what you take to be the strongest argument in defense of an employee’s right to participate in managerial decision making. Explain what you take to be the strongest argument against such a right.
- Children in poor neighborhoods have bleak outlooks on life and do not see much gain to studying. A recent experiment is paying children in poor neighborhoods $100 for each "A" they earn in a six-week grade reporting cycle. How does this affect behavior?For the following alternatives, argue whether it is true, false or uncertain, according to the following statement:"If the marginal productivity value (MVP) of the last worker hired is $10 and the wage is $12, then the firm":(a) Will have an economic utility.b) Needs to decrease the wagec) It needs to expand productiond) It needs to decrease the number of workers hired.Question Recently, the owner of KFC Franchise decided to change how she compensated her top manager. Last year, the manager received a fixed salary of $50,000 and KFC made $110,000 in profits (excluding the manager’s compensation). She feared that her store’s performance was connected to the top manager shirking on the job and expected that changes to her top manager’s compensation structure would improve sales. Therefore, this year she decided to offer him a fixed salary of $40,000 plus 5 percent of the store’s profit. Since the change, the store is performing much better, and she forecasts profits this year to be $300,000 (again, excluding the manager’s compensation). Assuming the change of compensation is the reason for the increased profits, and the forecast is accurate, how much more money will the owner make (net of payment to her top manager) because of this change? Does the manager make more money under the new payment scheme?
