Compensation Related Issues in the Movie ‘Gung Ho’

Instructions – Compensation Related Issues in the Movie ‘Gung Ho’

Q1. Firstly, in the earlier part of the movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7trB7i2xpfc), it is outlined that the starting salary for the workers at Assan Motors is $8.75, while they used to receive $11.50. So, the wage for the factory workers at Haleyville (a fictional town), Pennsylvania, has decreased. Why can this be the case? Provide your answer from the economics model of pay perspective that you learned in Module 2. In other words, you MUST use the concept(s) ‘demand of labor’ and/or ‘supply of labor’ in writing your answer to this question. However, if you have forgotten the concepts related to the economics model of pay, re-visit Video 1 in Module https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4LNBReJYJ0&feature=youtu.be.

Q2. Secondly, in the middle of the movie, Hunt Stevenson (employee liaison) and Takahara Kazihiro (plant manager) make a deal for a pay raise of American workers if 15,000 or more cars are produced in a month. However, Hunt Stevenson had to lie to the workers that there will be a partial raise when 13,000 or more cars are produced in a month. Why was this the case? Provide your answer utilizing the Expectancy Theory. In other words, you MUST use the concept(s) valence, instrumentality, and/or expectancy in writing your answer to this question. However, if you have forgotten the concepts related to the Expectancy Theory, re-visit Video 2 in Module 5.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKG6l0f4BG4&feature=youtu.be

Q3. Thirdly, watch the video Examining the Differences in National Culture through Hofstede Insights (Modules > Module 14 > Required Videos). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlenU_liWzk&feature=youtu.be Now, go to the Hofstede Insights webpage and compare the national culture of the United States and Japan. Fill in the table below with the scores that you observe at the webpage for the six cultural dimensions of the two countries. For example, the Long Term Orientation score for the U.S. and Japan should be 26 and 88, respectively. (You cannot directly fill in the numbers using this document. You need to make your own table for your assignment submission. Just listing the numbers for the cultural dimensions for the two countries is also okay.)
Country

Cultural Dimension Score

Power Distance

Individualism

Masculinity

Uncertainty Avoidance

Long Term Orientation

Indulgence

United States

26

Q4. Fourthly, watch the video International Compensation (Modules > Module 14 > Required Videos) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGFF1jxc8rE&feature=youtu.be. In this video, we learned that national culture dictates what is more or less valued in a given country/society. Based on the scores that you have filled in on the table for Q3, briefly explain some of the notable differences in the national culture between the U.S. and Japan. Also, explain how some of the cultural differences that you outlined dictate what is more or less valued by American and Japanese workers based on the things that were depicted in the movie. You do not need to also discuss the differences in all the cultural dimensions. Just discuss one or two cultural dimensions. (20 points)

o    Each paper must use at least 6 sources; however, some of the same sources can be using in both papers.
·         You are NOT ALLOWED to QUOTE (i.e., include verbatim information) at all in any part of your paper.  This will be checked by turn-it-in drop box which will provide an originality report–it should be basically 0–meaning there was NO overlap with published material.

You will are to integrate information across a MINIMUM of 2 sources.
o    For every sentence in which you have in-text citations, there must be at least 2 sources.
§  This will force you to summarize information across at least 2 sources and/or to find a second source that supports what you are stating in the first source.
§  Often, the attempt to paraphrase material from ONE source results in students plagiarizing (e.g., they do not produce original work and instead are changing word placement or using synonyms).

Compare and contrast procedural and substantive unconscionability

/in /by

This is a paper that focuses on the Compare and contrast procedural and substantive unconscionability. The paper also provides a brief description of the topic to use for the paper.

Compare and contrast procedural and substantive unconscionability

The courts usually do not concern themselves with the fairness of a bargain struck by contracting parties.  But in some cases, if a contract is grossly unfair to an innocent party, the courts, in equity, will not enforce it.  These are called unconscionable contracts and occur when one of the parties, being in a strong position, takes advantage of the other party.  The stronger party convinces the other party to enter into a contract contrary to his or her well-being.  Such agreements may violate public policy and may not be enforceable.

In the past, if you wanted a prescription for a certain medication you had to see a physician first.  Today, it is possible to enter into a contract to obtain a prescription for, and order, many medications via the Internet without ever setting foot in a physician’s office.  Contracting with a physician online to receive prescription drugs may be ill advised, but are such contracts unconscionable?  Only a few court cases have addressed this issue and so far, no court has held that prescribing drugs online is unconscionable.

Compare and contrast procedural and substantive unconscionability

Compare and contrast procedural and substantive unconscionability.  However, if the physicians are not deceptive, should the courts allow all types of medications to be prescribed over the Internet?  Why or why not?  Might the practice of prescribing medications via the Internet reach the point at which it “shocks the conscience” of the court?  Do you think the courts, in the few cases that have been heard? Should have held that the physician’s conduct and the resulting contracts were unconscionable?

Through writing this assignment, you will be responsible for using a minimum of 2 scholarly/peer-reviewed sources (e.g. GMC Library). Textbooks are not a scholarly/peer-reviewed source; however, they may still be included as a supplemental reference.
Your assignment is to be a minimum of 500 words.  Going over the minimum page length requirement is acceptable; however, I am not looking for a 10+ page essay.

Ethical issue or dilemma in marketing communications

/in /by

This is a paper that focuses on the ethical issue or dilemma in marketing communications. The paper also identifies the stakeholders and dimensions of each party’s stake.

Ethical issue or dilemma in marketing communications

To demonstrate professional-level ability to:
conduct complex secondary-source research;
identify and describe a significant case involving an ethical issue or dilemma in some area of marketing communications;
Also, identify stakeholders and describe the dimensions of each party’s “stake”;
apply a framework/list of criteria based on sound ethical principles to allow discussion/evaluation of alternatives and/or the behavior of various parties;
draw well-supported conclusions regarding the ethical issue or dilemma;
make recommendations for practitioners.

Skills emphasized:
research, problem identification, interpretation, analysis, evaluation, synthesis.

This project generally involves the selection of a case that exemplifies questionable ethical practice in regard to marketing communications.

The case to focus on advertising, promotions, personal selling, direct marketing, public relations or any other area of activity that can be described as “marketing communications”.  Typical “issues” include:  false or misleading advertising,
the exploitation of vulnerable segments, the promotion of “harmful” products, and the depiction of persons from racial and ethnic minority groups.

Cases can be drawn from all arenas of business and industry, as well as from politics;  they may pertain to a single instance, or to a series of events or a pattern of behavior.

A positive example or model for behavior may also be chosen, but working with such an example can present a significant challenge.  It seems, for many students, to be easier
to write persuasively and also at length when the case chosen illustrates an offense against
an ethical code or ideal.

Written Report

The written report should include the following:
1.  Firstly, a detailed discussion of the case in regard to the ethical dimension (s).

2.  Secondly, an identification of each individual stakeholder or group of stakeholders.

3.  Thirdly, a framework or list of criteria on which to base conclusions regarding the behavior(s) of the parties involved in the case.

4.  Fourthly, a discussion of the impact of the behavior(s) on the major stakeholders.

5.  Lastly, a discussion of the implications of the case for practitioners in the field;  a list of specific recommendations may be offered as well.

This report must be at least 10 pages in length, excluding cover page, any full-page
figures or graphics, and addenda.  The APA (American Psychological Association)
Manual is to be followed for format and documentation.
