View Problem Scenario A to learn more about Bill and Joe's relationship.  

Joe has scheduled a meeting with his management team for next week to  talk about the Peninsula Hotel chain contract. He hopes that he will be  able to work with them to draft a contract favorable to Peninsula that  will ensure its renewal for another year. He is reasonably sure that the  contract renewal will ensure his continued success and employment with  UWEAR.

On his way out of the office today, Joe receives a call from Bill.

Bill: “Joe, how are you doing? Got any great plans for the weekend?”
Joe: “No, my wife and I are just planning on hanging out at home and relaxing. How about you?”
Bill: “My family and I are planning a short trip on  the yacht. We haven’t been out in a while, and the weather looks  perfect. Maybe you and your wife could join us? We haven’t seen you guys  in quite a while, and it will be good to catch up.”

Joe is relieved to get the invitation from Bill because their  relationship has been strained lately because of the contract  negotiations.

Joe must decide how he will answer Bill’s invitation to join him and  his family on their yacht. Complete the following in a paper of 500–700  words, excluding cover and reference pages. 

Part I:

Address the following:

• Apply the rational choice model to arrive at your recommendation for Joe's his response to the invitation to spend the weekend on Bill's yacht.  
• In what ways do you agree or disagree with the result of applying the rational choice model?

Part II:

• What ethical theory do you support the invitation that you recommend to Joe?  
• Why would you use this theory?   
• What is an alternative recommendation, applying to a different ethical theory?   
• Compare and contrast your recommendation with the alternative.

w. What is included in the compensation and benefits package? Are all employees offered the same package? If not, how can they differ? How much of the payroll budget is allocated to benefits? Is insurance included as part of the package? If so, what part does the company pay and what part is the responsibility of the employee?

d. Do you have any bonus or incentive programs? If so, what kind and how important are they to get work completed? If not, why do you think that bonuses are not needed?

Internal processes of a company contribute to the company's overall   effectiveness. Identifying ways to improve internal processes helps   build a highly efficient organization. Root causes need to be   identified. Methods to identify root causes may require substantial   analysis or be apparent based on a major problem within the organization.

For example, review the assigned article, "Inside     Chipotle's Contamination Crisis: Smugness and Happy Talk About     Sustainability Aren't Working Anymore," from Bloomberg   Businessweek. Research several other sources regarding Chipotle's   food contamination crisis. Create a flowchart of the original supply   chain and how Chipotle supplies each of the restaurant chains. Provide   your own commentary. Create another flowchart that suggests a new way   to supply the restaurant chains.

Review another restaurant chain that does not currently have a major   public problem but would benefit from evaluating its manufacturing   process to improve competitiveness. Specifically, provide   recommendations on how to improve the company's current supply chain.   Create a flowchart to illustrate your recommendations. Provide a   summary of how you came to your recommendations. Include any formal   strategies and informal thought processes you used to reach your   conclusions. Provide rationale for either using or not using Six Sigma   methodology, ISO quality benchmarking, lean supply chain processes, or TQM.

Submit all three flowcharts and commentary for each flowchart in a   single document. Provide three to five resources to support your response.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment,   solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources   should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be   found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Task
You will need to complete the following project on leadership that assesses leaders in a work-related environment.
This project focuses on critical analysis of leaders’ approaches to their leadership in a work-related environment and provides recommendations on how to sustain or improve leadership effectiveness.
Identify three ‘interviews’ or biographical accounts of Australian CEOs, business or third sector leaders from the Australian news media, a professional management journal or management-related magazine. Justify your selection.
Analyse these cases, and from a critical perspective, compare and contrast:
a) the ways in which each leader is constructed as a leader by the accounts;
b) how the leaders describe their conceptualisation of leadership;
c) how each leader conceptualises success through their leadership.
Critically evaluate how each leader’s practice of leadership impacts the success of their organisation,
using relevant theoretical perspectives you have covered during your study of MGT536.
Identify organisational issues one of these three leaders is facing. Drawing on current leadership research (from the last five years) what advice would you offer this leader to assist them in addressing these issues?
Finally, draw conclusions from your entire critical analysis, and make recommendations about how relevant theories and research can assist leaders to fulfil their role.
Rationale
This task has been designed to allow you to demonstrate the skills and knowledge needed to undertake an analysis of  leadership in order to determine the effectiveness of leadership in a specific context. You are also expected to provide specific recommendations and strategies to improve leadership effectiveness.
This assessment builds in practical way on Assessments 1 and 2 where the foundations were laid for the theoretical and personal understanding of leadership.
The task assesses the following learning outcomes:
be able to critically analyse, in the context of the framework of relevant theories and research, current and projected issues which impact on organisational leadership and organisational success;
be able to synthesise issues for organisational leaders and evaluate plausible impacts requiring leadership decisions;
be able to explain the relationship of effective leadership and the success of organisations;
be able to develop a leadership plan and implementation strategies.

Write a five to six-page essay on the following topic: What are the humanities and how are they relevant to our lives?

In your introduction include a clear definition of the humanities and a concise summary of their relevance for our lives. (No more than one page)

In your next paragraph, explain the methodology you will use to illustrate your claim about the humanities. State which text you will use and which humanities framework you will use to analyze your chosen text. Give a very brief summary of that framework, making sure to explain why it is considered part of the humanities, what distinguishes it from other humanities disciplines, and why it is a good framework for interpreting your chosen text. (No more than one page)

Give an interpretation of your chosen text using the specific framework you selected, focusing primarily on the aspects of the text that are relevant to life in modern society. You may need to summarize some aspects of your chosen text before trying to explain its relevance, but your discussion should be primarily analysis rather than mere summary. In other words, explain the meaning of the text from your framework’s point of view, not just what the text says or what happens in the plot. (No more than three pages)

In conclusion, summarize how your chosen text fits into the definition of the humanities you stated in your introduction and also how it serves as an example of the humanities’ relevance to our lives as you summarized it in your introduction. (No more than one page)

Must use at least two scholarly sources in addition to the primary text you are analyzing.
