    1) Creating a new position between the CEO and the location manager would help the business to grow many ways. First it would allow Dalman and Lei to focus on the greater goal of the company, and leave the researching of franchising or opening up more company owned shops to the potential position. This position could take away a lot of the stress that the two feel as business owners, he or she could handle a lot of the necessary tasks, and then give Dalman and Lei a monthly briefing, allowing them to still be a part of the decision making process, but without all of the added stress.…

    In Unit 7 we learned about self-managed teams. I believe that Sandwich Blitz would benefit from a self-managed team because that would take a lot of pressure off of Dalman and Lei. I think that the one that they should go with would be the Semiautonomous Work Group. I think this because it would give the person or persons Dalman and Lei put in charge a lot of responsibilities that they are currently taking on themselves.…

    For many years, Company Q's customers have been requesting health conscience and organic products sold at Company Q’s stores. The company's efforts to provide this for its customers have been weak at best. The company's management has the ethical duty to be positively reactive to its customers requests, so long as those requests are not illegal, immoral, irresponsible or unethical. Since requests are for products that benefit the health of customers,…

    Over the last 3 months, Dalman and I have been receiving an increasing number of reported errors. The most recent month shows 15% reported errors on total orders, which is unacceptable. Moreover, the Rocking Burger, our direct competitor, is constantly advancing using the most up to date equipment.

    Creating a new position between the CEO and the location managers will help the business to grow because this newly created role will help to clear up time for Dalman to focus on the other aspects of his position. Since he is spending so much time on talking with location managers, other portions of Sandwich Blitz, Inc. could be suffering from it. Not only that, but adding in the factor that he is just one person makes is clear that a new level in management would help with growing the other managers into the best managers possible. Promoting an existing manger is a good option to fill this position as they are already very familiar with the organization. With the added benefit of having the experience of working in the role as manager to give them a better understanding and insight into what issues and problems can be found within a location.…

    The ethics triangle is a model to follow to help militate against unethical decision-making. If Mayor Burns used this model it might have helped him make better decisions. When there is no moral discernment of what is right or wrong, a public official or administrator needs to analyze the situation carefully. However, in the following case study this does not appear to be something Mayor Burns practiced. For the purposes of this paper the case study “Gotta Love Those Bread & Butter Unions” will be analyzed. The source for all subsequent quotes is from this case study.…

    As part of this unit seven seminar I am to explain the differences between traditional and team environments. Traditional environment the manager plan and assigns all work, while also determining the job that is needed done. Almost all information is for management use only, while the limited knowledge of jobs is defined. Cross training is unproductive and training for non management is mainly to cover technical issues. All employees work alone, while risk taking is punishable by standard operating procedures. As a part of traditional environments all rewarding of employees are based on individual performances. Also the managers decide on what is the best work ethics and guidelines for employees to follow.…

    After reviewing the article by Sherman, Rethinking Integrity Leader to Leader. I think that Sandwich Blitz needs to do the right think. Doing the right thing you have to even live up to that when no one is watching also. In today's society doing the right thing is really hard because everyone thinks that if they do what everyone else does they will get ahead quicker in life. How can you really enjoy being a successful business by following others? I think that it is there responsibility to call the office that send the inspectors out and let them know what there inspectors are out in the field doing to these business. There is no telling on how many tickets they over looked for there own greed. The inspectors are suppose to be enforcing local law and making business comply by the law. I think by not doing the right thing it will set the company back as far as growing their name and finding future investors if they need to happen one day. For example, What if Ray Kroc the guy who founded Mcdonalds was doing this type of thing, do you think that he could of sold the name to future investors when he was not around to run the business any longer? By doing the right thing he was able to sell just the name to a lot of people around he world and expand pretty far. I think they should just find a way to comply with the local law and be done with the situation. If they comply do you think the inspector will retaliate in any way? They also need to take responsibility. That consist of acknowledging our complete sole responsibility of our actions. No more seeing others or outside events in the cause of our problems. Blame no one, accept the behavior of others and the circumstances of our lives as givens and more on from there. With that being said the business just needs to accept the fact that they are not complying with local local and move the trash to a different location to avoid any future dealing with this department. If they give in and accept I think these inspectors…

    There are times in life, whether it be in business or from a personal aspect, where a person has to make a crucial decision. Ethics play a major role in decision making for many people and many companies. The cost of not making ethical choices has caused many companies lost in sales, profits, reputation, and customer base. Sometimes, making hasty, unethical decisions seem good for the short term solutions; however, when carefully thought out, it is always best to make the right decision, one that is morally correct, rather than fiscally savvy.…
