How To Write A Radioshack Case Analysis
To: Julian Day, CEO
From: Aric Donnelly, Director of Human Resources
Date: 01/25/2012
Subject: New Layoff Recommendation

E-Layoff PR issue

RadioShack Corp. took a PR hit with the layoff notices being delivered by e-mail. The media decided to leave out all of the important details and portrayed RadioShack as heartless and “dehumanizing”. This bad PR leads to a bad image and lowered sales. RadioShack is already struggling to compete with big names like Best Buy and retail stores with large electronics departments. Since it is not possible to take back the layoffs, the PR department is trying to get all the information out to the public to salvage RadioShack’s image.

New Layoff Plan

    Case Analysis

    Schmidt, a South Carolina citizen, sued Wachovia Bank in a South Carolina state court for fraudulently inducing him to participate in an illegal tax shelter. Wachovia is a national bank with its main office in North Carolina and branch offices in several other states, including South Carolina. Under federal diversity jurisdiction, federal courts can hear cases in which the parties are citizens of different states. Wachovia filed a petition in Federal District Court, seeking to compel arbitration of the dispute. After the petition was denied on the merits, Wachovia appealed to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction. Under 28 U.S.C. Section 1348, national banks are "deemed citizens of the States in which they are respectively located." The Circuit Court interpreted "located" to mean any state where the bank has a branch location. Noting that the statute uses both "located" and "established" to refer to the presence of a bank, the Circuit Court determined that a national bank is "established" in the state where its main office is located, and "located" in every state where it has a branch office. Therefore, under the Fourth Circuit's reasoning, Wachovia was "located" in, and a citizen of, South Carolina (as well as several other states with branch offices). Since both parties, Schmidt and Wachovia, had South Carolina citizenship, the Circuit Court dismissed the case for lack of diversity jurisdiction.…

    ribe case F

    I, Justin Claybrook, would suggest Ribe entering China because the pros outweigh the cons. They have upward price trends and decreasing freight rates in China. The 10,000 square meters in (NIP) also serve as a plus because this allows companies to initiate production quickly at a low cost. The biggest con on entering the Chinese market is the 1 million dollar investment due to the subsidiary. The main competitive challenge facing Ribe in the near future is figuring out how to balance its initial business and its core competency, which is manufacturing steel parts along with its new consulting and outsourcing branch Rimadan. The largest challenge facing Ribe with its supplier network is that if business is moved to China they are facing a 38-day freight time. They must also build their network with suppliers in Eastern Europe.…

    Mt302 Organizational Behavior Unit One: Case Incident 2

    This case proves economic downturns and company layoffs lead to workplace malfeasance. According to dictionary.com malfeasance is the performance by a public official of an act that is legally unjustified, harmful, or contrary to law.

    Memo: the Retreat and Corporate Team Building

    You are the coordinator of staff development for Imperial Oil. It has been recently announced that Imperial Oil is moving its headquarters from Toronto to Calgary. The news has been greeted positively by employees, but a few are unhappy while others already working in the Calgary office are unsure how well the amalgamation of the two offices with their different cultures will go. Recognizing the feeling of uncertainty, you decide to hold a series of corporate team-building retreats shortly after the headquarters move to Calgary. The retreat will be led by the Great Canadian Adventure Company. Employees will meet in downtown Calgary at 8:00 a.m. and buses will pick them up and take them to the Sylvan Lake area. There, they will spend the day on team-building like map-reading exercises that will require employee teams to find their way through a wooded area to a “home base” where lunch will be served. The group will return to downtown to Calgary by 7:00 p.m.…
