Question 1 All the factors involved are internal for the company (environment factors), except for the external resource that was abused, the internet. Jasper is in a dilemma as the company has a policy that all computers were to be used for work related business only. However Jasper has vetoed a standard inclusion that the company reserves the right to monitor computer usage and turned down the possibility to install filter software. He actually admits that he knew that employees accessed their personal emails, banking, checking the weather and book vacations. This in itself is hypocritical. A top executive should be active in promoting the right corporate culture. Elements such like values, beliefs and norms need to be promoted openly Jasper wants to promote an involvement culture which would mean helping Henry in his personal life. Indeed, Jasper admits to this to himself in the scenario. Henry is noted as a hard working valuable employee and his dismissal will hurt the company. The female employee was not fired for poor work performance and so there is no suggestion that she is a bad employee.
My first action task would be this:
At this point of time, the outside world does not know of the scandal in the company. To protect the company, the fired employee will need to be re-hired as the female employee threatened legal action over her dismissal. Such legal action would attract the attention of the media so she must be put back on the pay role. She needs to be moved to another department so she doesn’t get Henry as her manager again. It may be possible to get her to agree to a secrecy clause.
Henry needs help and in the spirit of having an involvement culture in the company, Henry will be offered the following;
1. A work mentor for his wife’s business
2. The appropriate counselling to cover the grief of his nephew’s death and the internet porn addiction.
My second action task would be this:
Both employees will be suspended for two weeks and a company announcement will be made outlining that the internet policy has been breached and a thorough investigation will be upheld to determine the depth of the problem and

Most of the hospital’s facilities are devoted to inpatient care and emergency services, but a 100,000-square-foot section of the hospital is devoted to outpatient (OP) services. Of the 100,000-square-foot OP section, the OP Clinic uses 80%/80,000-square-feet, and the remaining 20%/20,000-square-feet are used by the Dialysis Center. Increased patient volume at the OP Clinic…
Rio Grande Medical Center Cost Allocation Concepts HCM 681 Introduction to the Financial Management of Healthcare Organizations 1. Is it “fair” for the Dialysis Center to suffer in profitability, and hence for the department head to possibly lose his bonus, just because the Outpatient Clinic needs additional space? The building of the new facility is not expected to affect revenue, direct cost and patient volume. The Dialysis Center will provide the same services for its patients, but with…

Bilingual Programs Public Schools in the Rio Grande Valley should have bilingual programs as part of their curriculum. These programs would help students learn English as a second language transition into the regular classroom. One of the reasons why Public Schools in the Rio Grande Valley should have bilingual programs is because almost more than a half of the residents of the Rio Grande Valley are Spanish speakers. Cities like Mission, McAllen and Hidalgo are examples…
U.S The people of the United States felt it was their mission to extend the "boundaries of freedom" to others by imparting their idealism and belief in democratic institutions to those who were capable of self-government. It excluded those people who were perceived as being incapable of self-government, such as Native American people and those of non-European origin. To understand Manifest Destiny, it's important to understand the United States' need and desire to expand. The following points illustrate…
the Rio Grande. Its characteristic rolling to hilly surface covered with a heavy growth of pine and hardwoods extends into East Texas. In the increasingly arid west, however, its forests become secondary in nature, consisting largely of post oaks and, farther west, prairies and brushlands. The interior limit of the Gulf Coastal Plains in Texas is the line of the Balcones Fault and Escarpment. This geologic fault or shearing of underground strata extends eastward from a point on the Rio Grande near…

attacked the US first. According to Abel Upshur Mexico and the US’s relationship has always been “rough” and “stormy”. In 1836 the president of Mexico signed a treaty stating that he would stop all hostility in Texas and move his troops south of the Rio Grande. But, when President Santa Anna came back he did not follow the negotiations, and disavowed them. Texas has always been a fought over territory as well. Many people were against Mexico for this, and many americans wanted Texas to be annexed. Also…
