In view of the fact that no express contract was ever formed, can Nursing Services recover the $4,000 from Janine? If so, under what legal theory? Discuss.

Do the following problems and, for each, state in separate paragraphs: a) a summary of the facts, b) the legal issues involved, c) your analysis of the case and d) your conclusion: 81 Unilateral Contract. Rocky Mountain Races, Inc., sponsors the Pioneer Trail Ultramarathon with an advertised first prize of $10,000. The rules require the competitors to run 100 miles from the floor of Blackwater Canyon to the top of Pinnacle Mountain. The rules also provide that Rocky reserves the right to change the terms of the race at any time. Monica enters the race and is declared the winner. Rocky offers her a prize of $1,000 instead of $10,000. Did Rocky and Monica have a contract? Explain. (See Types of Contracts.) 82 Implied Contract. Janine was hospitalized with severe abdominal pain and placed in an intensive care unit. Her doctor told the hospital personnel to order around-the-clock nursing care for Janine. At the hospitals request, a nursing services firm, Nursing Services Unlimited, provided two weeks of in-hospital care and, after Janine was sent home, an additional two weeks of at-home care. During the at-home period of care, Janine was fully aware that she was receiving the benefit of the nursing services. Nursing Services later billed Janine $4,000 for the nursing care, but Janine refused to pay on the ground that she had never contracted for the services, either orally or in writing.

Describe the characteristics of the group using all of the criteria below: o Describe whether the team is ongoing (permanent) or ad hoc (temporary). o Is the group a short-term group that will only exist for 112 months or is the group a long-standing group that has or will exist for more than one year?

Complete the following: Choose a group in which you are currently involved or have been involved in the past. A group or team associated with a current employer often works the best, but you may also use group experiences from previous employers or community activities. If possible, choose a group that may be experiencing communication difficulties. Prepare an investigative paper that applies group-related communication theories to your selected group. Include the following in your paper: o o Is the group formal or informal? For example, is the group an official (that is, formal) department or committee at a company or is the group an informal collection of people such as a book club. o Is the group self-managing or does the group have a clear consistent leader? o Is the group best described as a primary work team or a project team? A primary work team generally takes on a variety of tasks (for example, a Human Resources Department or a Maintenance Department). Project teams typically engage in a narrow set of activities such as organizing a specific event or a taking on a single project. o Using the 2007 Benne and Sheats article, “Functional Roles of Group Members,” linked in the Resources under the Required Resources heading, analyze the formal roles and communication roles of group members: o Group members’ task roles. o Group members’ maintenance roles. o Group members’ individual roles. o Using Bruce Tuckman’s (1965) team stages model or Backlund’s 2001 article, “Team Effectiveness,” linked in the Resources under the Required Resources heading, describe the group stages experienced by the group. o Analyze the group norms. Norms are the formal and informal rules groups develop. Many norms are never written down and many are not discussed openly but are still learned by group members. o Describe positive and negative participation behaviors. o Describe the group’s use of technology for communication, such as e-mail, texting, or the Internet. Additional Requirements Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message. APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA (6th ed.) style and formatting. Include a properly formatted title page and references page. Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point. Write an investigative paper that applies group-related communication theories to a selected group. There are many ways to improve interpersonal effectiveness, and the benefits of doing so are profound. Many studies point to interpersonal effectiveness as the leading predictor of future success. Derailment studies (Lombardo & McCauley, 1988) found lack of interpersonal communication skills to be a key factor in the likelihood of a manager to derail, or be removed from his or her job. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: 1) Competency 2: Analyze the interrelationships of communication within organizational systems. a. Describe the characteristics of a group. b. Analyze the roles of group members. c. Describe the group stages experienced. d. Analyze group norms. e. Describe positive and negative participation behaviors. f. Describe group’s use of technology for communication. 2) Competency 3: Communicate effectively. a. Consistently apply appropriate APA style and formatting. Individuals are the essence of communication. Even before involving others, intrapersonal communication is at work. These are the messages we send to ourselves and relate to our own issues and perceptions. Interpersonal communication takes place when a second individual is incorporated into the setting. Trust and power are often part of interpersonal relationships, as is perception, the way we think about others. In today’s organizational environment, technology is also closely linked with the ways we communicate one-on-one. The Assessment 3 Context document contains important information related to working in groups that address the following topics: a) The Importance of Good Listening Skills. b) Groups in Organizations. c) Group Types. d) Group Development. e) Individuals’ Roles in Groups.
