Discussion 1: Case Study: Authority and Leadership

Initial post must be a minimum of 250 words. Review the details of the case Authority and Leadership: Rising from the Ranks from your course text, and respond to the following questions:

1. Identify the potential advantages Julie might enjoy in becoming manager of a group of which she has long been a member, and contrast these with the possible disadvantages that might present themselves because she has long been a member of this group.

2. Describe how Julie will have to proceed in establishing herself as the legitimate possessor or supervisory authority on the unit, and describe the sources and forms of Julie’s authority.

Discussion 2: Motivation and Conflict Resolution

Select either Option A or Option B and indicate in your post which option you have selected.

In any organization, regardless of the industry, some level of conflict and/or office bickering is inevitable and may have a damaging impact on productivity and motivation or morale. However, it is the responsibility of the manager to ensure that conflict is avoided whenever possible and, when it does occur, it is handled in an appropriate and respectful manner. With this in mind, listen to the podcast, Stop the Medical Office Bickering and respond to your selected option.

Option A: Case Study: A Matter of Motivation: The Delayed Promotion

Review the details of the case above from your course text, and respond to the following questions:

1. Thoroughly analyze the likely state of your ability to motivate yourself in your new position. In the process, comment to whatever extent you feel necessary on your level of confidence in the relative stability of your position and how this might affect your performance.

2. Describe the most likely motivational state of your HIM staff at the time you assumed the director’s position, and explain in detail why this state probably exists.

3. Based on the podcast, what are some proactive strategies that management could have used to reduce the potential for conflict in this situation?

Option B: Case Study: Charting a Course for Conflict Resolution: “It’s a Policy”

Review the details of the case above from your course text, and respond to the following questions:

1. Develop the argument you would be advocating if you were in George Mann’s position. In a similar fashion, thoroughly develop the argument you would advance if you were in Sally Carter’s position.

2. Assuming the position of CEO, Jane Arnold, render a decision. Document your decision in whatever detail may be necessary, and include a complete explanation for your decision.

3. Based on the foregoing, outline whatever steps (e.g., policy changes, guidelines, payroll requirements, or something else) you believe should be considered to minimize the chances of similar conflict in the future.

Managerial Accounting Discussion unit 6

[Pin It]

Budgeting
You are an accountant in the budgetary, projections, and special projects department of American Conductor, Inc., a large manufacturing company. The president, William Brown, asks you on very short notice to prepare some sales and income projections covering the next 2 years of the company’s much heralded new product lines. He wants these projections for a series of speeches he is making while on a 2-week trip to eight East Coast brokerage firms. The president hopes to bolster American’s stock sales and price.

You work 23 hours in 2 days to compile the projections, hand deliver them to the president, and are swiftly but graciously thanked as he departs. A week later you find time to go over some of your computations and discover a miscalculation that makes the projections grossly overstated. You quickly inquire about the president’s itinerary and learn that he has made half of his speeches and has half yet to make. You are in a quandary as to what to do.

Address the following questions:

Please define the word “ethics” and summarize what issues/ramifications might apply to this example.
What are the consequences of telling the president of your gross miscalculation, both ethical and non-ethical?
What are the consequences of not telling the president of your gross miscalculations, both ethical and non-ethical?
Are there other ethical implications or issues that you and the president need to consider in this situation?

Auditing unit 6 Discussion

[Pin It]

Planning an Inventory Audit

You will analyze a company’s current inventory setup and determine the course of action to take to audit the client’s inventory. In order to successfully audit inventory, a thorough plan must be devised to ensure all facets are accounted for.

The Crafty Craft Corner has been asked by its bank to perform an audit, which it has never done before. Part of this audit is to perform a year-end physical inventory. The store uses a periodic inventory system, as management does not feel it’s necessary to track every bead and button sold.

As the auditor hired to perform the inventory audit, what are your recommendations to the store management to prepare for the audit?
Would you suggest they implement a perpetual inventory system? What documentation would you request the managers create regarding their inventory?
What other steps would you recommend to ensure a smooth process?
