These two main issues caused Global Tech to be stuck in their downward spiral. As a result, tackling these issues gave Global Tech an opportunity to again be a leading competitor in its industry. The first decision that needed to be made was the need for change. This was done by arranging for senior managers to tour other local companies who succeeded in producing new commercial technology (Benchmarking), getting a better understanding of the day to day challenges and concerns of the front-line workers (Walking the floor), interviewing customers with focus groups to observe consumer needs (Focus group interviews), and identifying the overarching core problem(s) that causing this downward spiral (Identify problem).
Jason Tierro, an inventory Jason Tierro, an inventory clerk at Lexmar Company, is responsible for taking a physical count of the goods on hand at the end of the year. He has been performing this duty for several years. This year, Jason was very busy due to a shortage of personnel at the company, so he decided to just estimate the amount of ending inventory instead of doing an accurate count. He reasoned that he could come very close to the true amount because of his past experience working with inventory. Besides, he was sure that the sophisticated computer program that Lexmar had just invested in kept an accurate record of inventory on hand.

EthicsGame Dilemmas Ginger Bailey ETH/316 July 23, 2012 Charles J. Fanning EthicsGame Dilemmas The EthicsGame Simulation provided two different scenarios in which the player was to decide how to deal with an ethical dilemma in the workplace. Each simulation had different ethical issues to deal with and provided assistance to the manager (player) on how to come to a resolution for the situation. The Mysterious Blogger The first simulation is The Mysterious Blogger ("Ethicsgame.com", 2012). In the simulation the manager is to decide what course of action should be taken when two employees go outside of the company’s code of conduct. Jamal Moore did something un-ethical; he went outside company policy and used a computer to hack into another employee’s blog site.
Week Two Learning Team Reflection During Week 1, we discussed the basic components of business research. We were shown how to recognize dilemmas and address issues related to corporate America, such as declining sales, increase in costs and any other issues that may have adverse impact on business.

Case Study, Jack Carlisle, CIO Executive Summary IZL Corporation hired Jack Carlisle to restructure and reorganize the IZL IT department. The company was going through major turmoil in which the CEO Chuck Hansen was replaced by CEO Jim Giles and another SVP, Carl Strati.

Because I did not have enough money to pay the tuition, I had to get a job in a call center after school. Working while studying was an additional challenge but it helped to teach me time management and it offered me an even stronger appreciation once I received my degree. Then, I had to have an advance English level so I could graduate. After long consideration I decided to come to USA in an internship program as an Au-pair. This gave me the opportunity to learn the language and get my diploma, but I was away from my country, my family and friends.
Jones 1 High school vs. College Going from high school to college, while it’s very exciting and fun, can also be very challenging. It is a great milestone in a person’s life. A huge step that a student will either adjust to or struggle with. With many differences there are certain similarities as well. The more prepared a person is to face the similarities and differences, the more successful they will be in the long run, because College and high school is totally different.
---What should I do---- Later on day all I could think about was how could I get that job. I probably spent the whole rest of the afternoon thinking about how I could get picked to work. At the club staff asked many of us to help out with things but we pretty much blew them off if there wasn’t some type of reward or prize. I knew that I had to somehow impress or make the staff notice me more than the others so I decided to do a few things here and there to try and stand out a little more. Also I would ask if there’s anything I could do as it got closer to the summer.
