Learning Activity 1:  Due Thursday, 11:59 pm ET

 

Scenario:  Rentals, LLP (Rentals), an office equipment rental company, owns the land, office building and 2 warehouse buildings on which it has been

operating. Rentals advertised the property “For Sale by Owner: $650,000”

on a sign posted on the property, and in various news and sales publications.

 

A licensed real estate appraiser inspected and valued the property at

$650,000.  The 3 other partners in Rentals selected you to represent them in the sale of the property.

 

Rentals moved its operations to a location across town where it now leases,

under a signed contract with Business Spaces, Inc, larger office and

warehouse facilities.

 

The 3 owners of Farmers Feed and Grain Company (Farmers) contacted

Rentals to tour the property. Later, you, representing the partnership,

accepted Farmers invitation to dinner to discuss the property and a possible

sale. You and the 3 owners of Farmers had a leisurely dinner, and 2 glasses

of wine each.   At the end of dinner, the Farmers owners offered Rentals

$475,000 for the property in an all-cash deal, and you accepted on behalf of

the Rentals partnership.

 

Farmers owners and Rentals partners signed a sales contract for the sale of

the property for $475,000, but before the deal was completed and before the deed was transferred to Farmers, Rentals’ financial advisor urged Rentals to cancel the contract claiming that the contract was unenforceable because the price offered for the sale was too low and below the appraised value.  You, as a representative of Rentals, met with the financial advisor about the matter.

 

Following the meeting, prepare a memo to the other Rentals partners about the deal with Farmers, advising them about the deal, whether it is valid and enforceable, and why or why not.

 

Learning Activity 2:  Due Thursday, 11:59 pm ET

 

Scenario:   Sabrina Levy, MD, has a medical practice specializing in orthopedic surgery. Dr. Levy is the medical director of the practice that includes 3 other surgeons, a staff of Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners (NPs), x-ray technicians, medical records specialists, IT specialists, reception and office personnel, and a practice management director.

 

Following surgery, most patients have x-rays taken at Dr. Levy’s office.  Typically, patients come to Dr. Levy’s office for x-rays, go directly to the x-

ray department without seeing a physician, and follow up at a later

appointment with a surgeon to discuss x-ray results.

 

A patient, Dan, has had several x-rays at Dr. Levy’s office for an x-ray, each

followed by a later appointment with one of the physicians to discuss results.

 

Dan refused to pay the $500 bill for the x-rays, claiming that he did not sign a written contract for the x-rays or have a specific oral agreement regarding the x-rays. An increasing number of patients are also refusing to pay for x-rays claiming that they did not have a written or oral agreement to pay for x-rays. This has resulted in time-consuming and costly re-billing and collection fees, and sometimes lawsuits for Dr. Levy’s practice.

 

Dr. Levy asked you, the practice management director, to consult with an

attorney specializing in business about this matter, and whether it is

necessary to require patients to sign written contracts for x-rays or whether the current procedures for medical services are proper and sufficient.

 

Following your meeting with the attorney, write a brief report addressed to Dr. Levy summarizing advice regarding whether specific written contracts are required for x-rays and why or why not.

Review the following scenario:

A recent policy was implemented by Anytown’s Department of Job and Family Services regarding the issue of child endangerment. Any household that has one or more documented offense of domestic violence, child abuse, or drug or alcohol related offenses committed by the mother, father, guardian, and/or caregiver, will result in the removal of any child or children from the home.

The child will be placed in the care of the state, or foster care services, until documentation can prove that the offender has undergone any or all of the following, and has thus been “offense free” for a period of no less than 6 months: Alcohol and/or drug treatment, counseling, family therapy sessions, mental health treatment, anger management, life skills classes, and/or parenting classes.

The Department of Job and Family Services made reference to the social learning theory as providing support for this approach, as evidenced by research indicating that “aggressive children have parents who use aggressive tactics when dealing with others. For example, the children of wife batterers are more likely to use aggressive tactics themselves than children in the general population, especially if the victims (their mothers) suffer psychological distress from the abuse” (Siegel, 2015, p. 122).

In a minimum of 4 double-spaced pages (excluding the cover and references pages), write a critical essay voicing your opinion about the following issues:

  • Identify potential ethical/moral issues that could arise from implementing this new policy. Based on the conclusions you reach after taking all of this into account, share your opinion on whether the policy is considered an ethical one, based on its potential ramifications.
  • Consider the impact (be it positive or negative) on those involved in the above situation, specifically as it pertains to the overall welfare and well-being of the child. Describe the positive and/or negative impact the policy could have on society in general, or on the family unit. Be as objective as possible in examining the potential benefits of such a policy, as well as the possible negative effects.
  • Finally, did the Department of Job and Family Services misinterpret or misapply the social learning theory when planning and implementing the policy? Be sure to demonstrate how the social learning theory either does or does not apply to this scenario.

Assignment 2: Employment-At-Will Doctrine-Title page must have running head. Title of paper with page 1. All the remaining pages must have title of paper and page number on right side of the paper. 3 references

Imagine you are a recently-hired Chief Operating Officer (COO) in a midsize company preparing for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). You quickly discover multiple personnel problems that require your immediate attention.

  1. John posted a rant on his Facebook page in which he criticized the company’s most important customer.
  2. Ellen started a blog to protest the CEO’s bonus, noting that no one below director has gotten a raise in two (2) years and portraying her bosses as “know-nothings” and “out-of-touch”
  3. Bill has been using his company-issued BlackBerry to run his own business on the side.
  4. After being disciplined for criticizing a customer in an email (sent from his personal email account on a company computer), Joe threatens to sue the company for invasion of privacy.
  5. One of the department supervisors requests your approval to fire his secretary for insubordination. Since the secretary has always received glowing reviews, you call her into your office and determine that she has refused to prepare false expense reports for her boss.
  6. Anna’s boss refused to sign her leave request for jury duty and now wants to fire her for being absent without permission.

As an astute manager, you will need to analyze the employment-at-will doctrine and determine what, if any, exceptions and liabilities exist before taking any action. As you proceed with your investigation, you discover the company has no whistleblower policy.

In preparation for this assignment, use the Internet or Strayer Library to research your state’s employment-at-will policy.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

  1. Summarize the employment-at-will doctrine discussed in the text and then evaluate three (3) of the six (6) scenarios described by determining:
    1. Whether you can legally fire the employee; include an assessment of any pertinent exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine.
    2. The primary action(s) that you should take to limit liability and impact on operations; specify the ethical theory that best supports your decision.
  2. Examine your state’s policy on employment-at-will. Analyze at least one (1) real-world example of an employee or employer utilizing your state’s employment-at-will doctrine in the last five (5) years. Include a summary of the main issue and the outcome in the identified real-world example.
  3. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia is not an acceptable reference and proprietary Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format.

Tong, a new immigrant from China, recently graduated with a BBA from Yorkville University. Her father, who is vice president of a factory in China producing unique rice and noodle sauces, is keen on opening up the Canadian market. Fortunately, Tong had made many friends in the BBA program who were somehow connected to the food service industry.

To make his case to the shareholders in China, Tong’s father wanted her to write-up all the requirements to legally sell their products in Canada, including packaging, labeling, insurance, and payment options. Tong came to you for help.

What would be the most important points for Tong and her father to consider to ensure they have all the kinds of information they might need to be successful in this venture?

Unit IV Homework
