What if courses vary in length. When you sign up, you don’t know how long a course will run; it might go for 2 weeks or 30 weeks. The instructor can end the course at any time with no prior warning. The length of the course changes each time it meets: sometimes its 20 mins and others its 3 hours. All exams are unannounced, so you have to be ready at anytime. Describe, first, how you might feel if you discovered, after the fact, that your school operated this way. Focus on FEELINGS, emotion rather than facts. Then say what would need to happen at this school, or at another school you might switch to, to prevent you from feeling this way. Tie this back into how an employee might feel in this enviornment and what a manager might be able to do to help that employee become effective and high-performing. Remember change is all about perceptions and emotions. 0.5-1 page in length

Generally, the first few days are “honeymoon days” in a school or in an office. My first feeling when I see that the class ends in 20 mins, would be happiness. As class starts in full swing, I’ll be tensed to see that classes are ending that early. Finally I’d be more concerned if the class timing keeps shifting because I won’t be able to focus neither on my studies nor preparing for exam. If I spend more time in the class, I won’t be able to prepare my notes nor will I be able to practice enough for the exam. I too might have the feeling that we are not being taught properly or that the teacher is utilizing the class timings for his personal work and then contributing time for our study when he is free. Ending the course at any time won’t contribute to my learning. I need to know how the schedule is distributed else I won’t be able to manage my study and daily chores. For unannounced exams, first it will be a shock, my scores might be low, but post that I will try to keep myself ready for the exams so that whenever any exam is conducted I should be prepared to score good in the exam.
As an employee, I shouldn’t be more concerned, because in school our class timings are limited, we have other priorities too. In office we are ever ready, ready to extend our office hours. We prefer flexible hours in office. Somedays I am willing to work for 4 hours while on some days I’d prefer to work for 12 hours if my work needs that amount of time contribution for me. In office, our performance decides our growth. Hence time won’t be a limitation to my growth. If my work requires such flexible hours, I feel my manager should be supportive enough to let me work accordingly, acknowledging the fact that I am willing to and do contribute time beyond office hours when I have to. My manager should arrange for my growth related activities such as training as per my schedule.

  1. Every manager has different skills, and specialties of expertise. It is quite possible that you could be in a situation where you see something that someone else does not see, especially if they are working under you with less education or experience than you. If a loan officer working under you recommends a loan to a customer, describe (A) when you would authorize that loan, and (B) when you would deny the loan in each of the following cases and give your rationale. You disagree with your subordinate because you do not think restaurants are good investments in general, so you have a bad feeling about this customer’s ability to repay the loan based on your experience with the market rather than any financial facts. You disagree with your subordinate because you think medical operations are high risk for legal problems, so you have a bad feeling about this customer’s ability to repay the loan based on your experience with the law rather than any financial facts. You disagree with your subordinate because you think members of their family are business failures, so you have a bad feeling about this customer’s ability to repay the loan based on your experience with social history rather than any financial facts. You disagree with your subordinate because you just have a bad feeling about this customer’s ability to repay the loan based on your gut instinct rather than any financial facts.
  2. 1. The fast-food restaurant McDonalds operates on national basis. The store manager of Mcdonalds on Jesse street has to decide how many ‘Cheese Dog’s to make every day. He learns that daily demand for ‘Cheese Dog’s follows a normal distribution of mean 100 and standard deviation 16. (a) The manager estimates that he will be able to make profit if he can sell more than 136 ‘Cheese Dog’s every day. The manager expects to get incentive only if he makes profit. What is the probability that the manager will receive incentive? (b) The manager is also aware that if the sale drops below 60, then he receives a pay-cut. What is the probability that he will receive a pay cut? (c) What is the probability that the ‘Cheese Dog’ sales is within 20% of the average value? (d) The store manager must plan to get breads ready to cook ‘Cheese Dog’ everyday morning. How many breads should he prepare for any given days so that he can keep the stock-out probability within 10%? (e) If the manager has materials available to make only 128 ‘Cheese Dog’s for a given day, how many will the expected lost sales be, assuming there is no way that additional raw materials cannot be refilled during the day? (f) If the manager wants to keep the expected lost sales to be 15 or lower, then How many breads (equivalent to how many ‘Cheese Dog’s) must he store at the beginning of the day?
  3. A regional sales manager suspected that one of her customers was having financial troubles. However, she was reluctant to mention it to her superior because she felt that she could be wrong. She kept quiet for several months, continuing to take large orders from this customer and hoping that the customer could recover from their troubles. Eventually, the customer went bankrupt and defaulted on the payment of several large bills. What went wrong? What would you have done differently?
