Better Boston Beans is a coffee shop located in the Faneuil Hall Marketplace near the waterfront and Government Center in Boston. The case takes place in the coffee shop Better Boston Beans. In this case Cindi Rosen is a recent college graduate that wants to experience “the real world” while making up her mind about grad school. She has been at the coffee shop for six months and has been thinking that it may be time to apply to grad school due to the actions of the assistant shift manager, Lyndell has made it a habit of late to leave early thus leaving Cindi to handle customers and close on her own. Cindi has not spoken to the supervisor about Lyndell’s behavior but is considering doing so because of it is becoming a regular habit and has affected customer service. One night after Lyndell had already left a group of tourists came in and commented on the fact such a famous American coffee shop has only one person working. Cindi told the customer that her coworker was ill and had to leave early.

The six pillars of character provide a foundation to guide ethical decision making. The Six Pillars of Character are trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. Trustworthiness: Be honest, in other words do not lie, cheat or steal. Respect: Treat others with respect by following the Golden Rule. Responsibility: Do what you are supposed to do and be accountable for your words, actions and attitudes. Fairness: Play by the rules and do not take advantage of others. Caring: Be kind and compassionate and express gratitude. Citizenship: Obey the laws and rules, and respect authority.

There are times when an employee may need to leave or not cover a shift because of specific events. It is acceptable sometimes. However, Lyndell is leaving early on a regular basis so, he is violating every aspect of The Six Pillars of Character. He is taking advantage of Cindi’s newness as well as the fact that she has not mentioned his absence to the manager.

    When you establish a functional organizational structure, you are building a hierarchy based on the job role of each employee. Functional organizational structure groups together employees who work toward a common goal. For example, all of your marketing employees would be in the same group. Even if you only have two or three employees who fulfill the marketing role of your small business, you would structure it so one person is in charge, such as the vice president of marketing. His team would consist of a marketing manager and a public relations manager. The functional structure provides focus to the employees, because they know they are working toward a common goal. In this example, the common goal is marketing and promoting the business.…

    It has been said that one must recognize their history in order to understand the present and prepare for the future. Although our course is entitled “Vietnam & 20th Century Experience”, our course actually begins in the 19th century. This is because it is both necessary and helpful to study the context of prior history in order to understand that culture and the mindset that the people of that culture were in when decisions were made and actions were taken that led to significant events in their history.…

    Autism Spectrum Disorder is a diagnoses for individual with a group of complex disorders of brain development. This disorder is characterized in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 1 in 68 children are diagnosed as being on the spectrum, with boys being four to five times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls. As there is no cure for autism, research is on-going to help children and families to decrease the negative effects autism has on those with the diagnoses and this includes studies on medications. In the article, Cognitive Effects of Risperidone in Children with Autism and Irritable Behavior, the effects of the popular drug Risperidone is tested on children on the autism spectrum who also have irritable behaviors, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or disruptive behavior disorders. The focus is on what question the authors are trying to answer by doing this research and what hypothesis is being tested and the concepts that were applied in this process. Other important aspects of this study include the statistical analysis employed in this studies, the variables used and the possibility more and/or different variables may have been used to enhance the outcome of the study. As with any statistical research study, there are going to be limitations.
