In correlation with this new American dream, I will be discussing if working at Wal-Mart can allow one to reach King’s idea. In an essay titled, “Up Against Wal-Mart,” Karen Olsson discusses the mistreatment and unfairness of the multi-billion dollar corporation towards its employees. She uses many first hand accounts of employees who are very quick to say they have been mistreated. I am arguing in this essay that the Wal-Mart Olsson discusses negatively impacts the ability for workers to reach this newly reformed “American Dream” that King brings to our attention. Although many others believe the American Dream has ceased to exist, King feels that “The ideals and values of the American Dream are still very much alive… I would redefine the American Dream today as the potential to work for an honest, secure way of life and save for the future”(King 572-3).
Question 2 In 2007 and 2008 Boeing ran into several well publicized issues with regard to its management of a globally dispersed supply chain. What are the causes of these problems?

The marginalization of Sherron Watkins, VP of Corporate Development at Enron (and former Arthur Anderson employee) who raised warnings directly to CEO Ken Lay of highly questionably and illegal accounting and trading practices set up by Jeff Skilling. Arthur Anderson’s culture of maximizing billable hours on audit work and allowing its Anderson Consulting unit to bring in huge profits by working with Enron’s energy unit, lead to a major conflict of interest and played a key role in the massive failure audit watch dog. In the end the actions of the Arthur Anderson partners where as self dealing as the senior management of Enron. Finally, the long term effect of Enron culture self-dealing, self-enrichment and self-preservation at the expense of shareholders and the employees cause years of inaction
Because he feared losing his job, he did not defend his position with an explanation of his job description or scope of practice. By avoiding the situation, Rashad chose the passive aggressive form of communication. Effective communication is a win-win between two people. Aggressive communication is not an effective form of communication because only one person is talking. Robin overpowered Rashad with verbal assault rather than encouraging ownership, involvement, and teamwork.
Furthermore, there are issues concerning the board of Boeing as they are seeking to occupy its CEO position after the former CEO was asked to step down due to an infraction of company’s ethics code of conduct. Additionally, Boeing was in the midst of a transformation in structure and vision. All these issues challenges the success of Boeing 7E7. The Boeing 7E7 offers superior interior design features and also uses “integrated assemblies” approach, which ensures high quality parts from global partners to be used for the aircraft. This high level engineering and system integration sets them apart from their competitor’s product, Airbus 380.

Therefore, the officers are lacking the proper skills and knowledge needed to prepare the paperwork accurately. Role Perceptions: The officers are not aware of their role perceptions and

I agree with the court’s decision because when Ward came with the
