Your best friend, Lindsey, and you are working together in the surgical ICU. Often you cover for her when she goes to lunch or on breaks. You notice that often her clients complain of being in pain, even though she has told you that she medicated them right before she left the unit. You also notice that she appears to be very jumpy and short-tempered and a bit disheveled when she comes to work. You are suspicious that she is using the medications that she says she is giving to her clients.

1. What should you do first?

2. What might be the consequences if you decide to do nothing?

organizational behaviour portfolio project

  1. To provide an opportunity to review many forms of media and apply the concepts you learn in this course to relevant items.
  2. To heighten your awareness of the many changes (positive and negative) that are affecting workplaces and workforces.
  3. To provide an opportunity to show your creativity in the production of a portfolio of OB-related learning.
  4. One movie + one television program (no more than 2-3 years old) “my topic”

For each of the above areas, you must include a summary of the item (and if practical, also include a copy of the item). Next you are to identify the OB concepts or theories which apply to the chosen item, and explain how they connect. Then you are to judge the significance of the item (i.e. Why is it important? Does it align with theory or run counter to the theoretical ideal?).

Think of the three following questions in your analysis. Marks will be provided for correct identification, quality explanation, and critique/judgement of each item (see details on grading sheet on page 4):

  • What does this item tell you about organizational behaviour?
  • How does it apply to what you have learned throughout class?
  • How much does it seem to follow/refute the theoretical ideal?

PLUS one other section: a personal reflection by each of the team members.

  • A summary of how each person in your team has learned and/or improved their perceptions, skills, and knowledge in order to adapt and thrive in the workplaces of today. You are encouraged to consider your top few “take-aways” from this course, and how it has helped you to be better positioned for success in a business environment. It is recommended that each personal summary refer to two or three OB concepts (note: they do not need to be the same concepts for everyone!). Please provide individual headings for each student’s personal summary.

The key outcome of this assignment is to provide an analysis as to how these items (or groups of items) reflect the material we have discussed throughout the course. Remember, your overall goal in this assignment is to showcase OB in Action in a creative way through a portfolio medium. You can prepare it like a report, or a scrapbook, or other. The key is that the topics of discussion are clearly labelled and the analysis is succinct and well supported. Please discuss your ideas with your professor if you are feeling unsure about the format of your deliverable or the approach you should take.

It is strongly recommended that you review at least one item and its commentary with your professor, in advance, to obtain feedback. This will ensure you are on the right track with your selection of items, and are completing the portfolio that will meet (or exceed) expectations.

what is your viewpoint on loading up customers during product promotions and sales contests consider the pros and cons and come to a conclusion on how this issue is best handled

When is a sale a sale? Is it when the contract is signed, the product delivered, payment is received, or … perhaps something else? On the surface this may sound like a trivial question, but for sales organizations it is a big deal. The reason is that salesperson performance and rewards are linked to the sale and when the sale is credited to the salesperson can make a big difference in performance evaluations and ultimately compensation, as well as a firm’s financial statements. Remember that a sale to a salesperson is revenue to a firm!

An interesting twist to the question “When is a sale a sale?” relates to periodic promotions or sales contests. That is, it is common for B2B firms to run cost-reduction promotions to their customers from time to time. This is done for a variety of reasons from new product introductions to beating competitors to reducing overstocks. Along with the temporary promotional prices, a sales contest might also be included that provides attractive prizes for salespeople who achieve different levels of sales performance during the contest. New salespeople, being smart and highly competitive, will often be tempted in such cases to go to their buyers and ask them to “load up” during the promotion or contest so that the salesperson can “win,” which brings up an ethical dilemma: If I’m simply borrow ing business from the future with a customer in order to win a sales contest, have I really done a service to the firm or to my customer? Yes, I might gain some benefit temporarily from this behavior but in many cases I won’t see another order on the promoted products for a very long time. And from the customer’s side, while they may agree to load up to try to help you out , the truth is customers don’t want to have extra inventory sitting around and their doing you a favor this time may create ill will in the long term.

Bottom line, a salesperson must think seriously about the potential for damaging a relationship with a customer and also about whether loading up customers this quarter just creates difficulties in making quota in subsequent quarters , Then too, from a sales organizational perspective, changes in accounting reporting standards (FASB) and legislation such as Sarbanes-Oxley have mandated companies present a more realistic picture of their financial performance, heightening the issue of when a sale is a sale. Companies train sales managers who in turn are expected to make it clear to the salespeople the policies and procedures for accurately reporting a sale.

Question to Ponder:

  • What is your viewpoint on loading up customers during product promotions and sales contests? Consider the pros and cons and come to a conclusion on how this issue is best handled. One Page

to use excel to perform a test of hypotheses concerning the mean of one population find p vales to answer two short questions 1

Excel functions – Excel does not always have a straight-forward way of getting the test statistic and p- value for a one-sample test of hypotheses. The commands below should work. In each case replace data range with a valid Excel cell reference, e.g. A12:A37.

 Z-test ( known)
o To test: 0 : = 0 versus : > 0

 =z.test(data range, 0, ) – This finds the p-value of the test =norm.s.inv(1–pvalue) – This finds the test statistic

o To test: 0 : = 0 versus : < 0
 =1–z.test(data range, 0, ) – This finds the p-value of the test =norm.s.inv(pvalue) – This finds the test statistic

o To test: 0 : = 0 versus : ≠ 0 =2*z.test(data range, 0, )

 If this value is less than 1, then it is the p-value. In this case the test statistic is given by =norm.s.inv(1–(pvalue/2))

 If the above value is greater than 1, then you must use the following command instead =2*(1–z.test(data range, 0, ))

 In this case the test statistic is given by =norm.s.inv(pvalue/2)

 T-test ( unknown) – Excel does not have a function to perform a one-sample t-test, but there is a work-around that will produce the needed output.

o Enter the actual data into column A. Enter copies of 0 into column B so that it’s the same length as column A.

o From the menu select: Data → Data Analysis → t-Test: Paired Two Sample for Meanso Complete the necessary information in the dialog box.

 Variable 1 Range = cell-reference to column A cells Variable 2 Range = cell-reference to column B cells Hypothesized Mean Difference = 0

o Position the output to the right of the data (e.g. cell D7). To make the output more readable, widen the columns by highlighting the columns then right-click → column width → 15.

o Before printing make sure the output will fit on one page. From the menu select: View →Page Break Preview and drag the dashed page break so as to fit all the output onto one page.

Problem 1 – Biodiesel fuels are made from vegetable oils and animal fats and may be used instead of conventional diesel fuel. One advantage to using biodiesel is a possible decrease in regulated emissions, specifically total hydrocarbons (HC). Using the heavy-duty transient Federal Test Procedure (FTP), the mean HC emission is 0.23 g/hp-hr (grams per horsepower-hour) with standard deviation = 0.07. A random sample of heavy-duty engines was obtained, and each was tested with biodiesel fuel. The data is in the file Excel Homework 5 – Problem 1. Suppose the underlying population is normal. Is there any evidence to suggest the use of biodiesel has decreased the mean level of HC emissions? Use = 0.05.

Problem 2 – Most water parks use a recycling system so that the only water loss is due to evaporation and splashing. Despite a sophisticated recycling system, the Schlitterbahn Waterpark in New Braunfels, Texas, has informed the city water department of their need for 250,000 gallons of water per day. Thecity water department selected a random sample of days, and the park’s water usage (in thousands ofgallons) on each day was recorded. The data is in the file Excel Homework 5 – Problem 2. Is there any evidence to suggest the mean water usage is different from 250 (thousand gallons)? Assume the underlying population is normal and use = 0.05.
