Case Study: Alicia
6th
grade, Age 11
Alicia is a sixth grade student currently receiving resource support for math and written expression. She attends all other subjects within the general education classroom.
Her special education teacher, Ms. Kauffmann, reports that Alicia has average reading decoding skills and average to above average reading comprehension skills. She particularly does well analyzing multiple choice and short answer questions related to reading content. Alicia does have difficulty summarizing what she has read using her own thoughts and ideas and relies heavily on visual supports to aid in comprehension.
Alicia does write complete sentences but struggles in organizing her ideas for writing and needs extensive support for pre-writing, development of topic sentences, and organization of essays. In writing short answer questions, she does so with few grammatical errors. When writing paragraphs and short essays, Alicia needs help editing her own work and making corrections. Punctuation errors are frequently evident. She has excellent spelling skills, but struggles with subject-verb agreement, correct use of point of view appropriate to the task, and in the development of thesis statements and topic sentences.
Regarding her math skills, Alicia struggles specifically with computation and reasoning/problem solving. In class, Alicia shows difficulty in writing number sentences to solve a story problem, and in determining the operations to use. She relies on a calculator for all math computation and benefits from extensive one-on-one support in math problem solving. She also struggles with converting fractions to decimal notation and applying math concepts to real world situations.

CASE STUDY 9
ST. LUKE'S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
Hospitals have been some of the earliest adopters of wireless local area
networks (WLANs). The clinician user population is typically mobile and
spread out across a number of buildings, with a need to enter and access
data in real time. St. Luke's Episcopal Health System in Houston, Texas
(www.stlukestexas.com) is a good example of a hospital that has made
effective use wireless technologies to streamline clinical work processes.
Their wireless network is distributed throughout several hospital buildings
and is used in many different applications. The majority of the St. Luke’s
staff uses wireless devices to access data in real-time, 24 hours a day.
Examples include the following:
• Diagnosing patients and charting their progress: Doctors and
nurses use wireless laptops and tablet PCs to track and chart patient
care data.
• Prescriptions: Medications are dispensed from a cart that is wheeled
from room to room. Clinician uses a wireless scanner to scan the
patient's ID bracelet. If a prescription order has been changed or
cancelled, the clinician will know immediately because the mobile device
displays current patient data.

• Critical care units: These areas use the WLAN because running hard
wires would mean moving ceiling panels. The dust and microbes that
such work stirs up would pose a threat to patients.
• Case management: The case managers in the Utilization Management
Department use the WLAN to docum.

Read the case study on the Air Force Supply Squadron at the end of Chapter 3. Present what you feel are the effective leadership behaviors displayed by Colonel Novak and react to the evaluations of your fellow students.
Air Force Supply Squadron
Colonel Pete Novak was assigned to com-
mand an air force squadron that airlifted sup-
plies to combat units during the Korean War.
The squadron had more than 200 men and
several cargo planes.When he assumed com-
mand, the situation was bleak. They were
short of supplies, personnel, and replace-
ments. Organization and coordination were
poor, and there was little cooperation and
teamwork among different sections. Morale
was low due to the unrelenting workload,the
constant bickering and disagreements, and
the stress of flying into combat zones.Colonel Novak held a meeting of the
squadron to introduce himself and talk about
how important their mission was to the success
of the war effort. He talked about how the
men in the front lines were counting on the
squadron to bring them the supplies and am-
munition they needed to keep the enemy
from overrunning the country. He reminded
them that every man had a vital function in
the operation of the squadron.
Then Colonel Novak set out to learn more
about the men in his unit, beginning with the
officers. He held frequent staff meetings with
the section heads and some key noncommis-
sioned officers (NCOs) to discuss the meth-
ods used to carry out the mission of the
squadron.He visited the enlisted men at work
and off duty, talking to them and showing a
personal interest in them.He listened to their
complaints, and whenever possible tried to
deal with their concerns about the poor living
conditions at the base.He flew along with the
airplane crews on some of the supply mis-
sions. On one occasion when supplies were
desperately needed at the front lines and the
squadron was shorthanded,he pitched in and
worked beside the men all during the night to
load the planes.
It was not long before Colonel Novak had
learned each person’s name, what his job was,
and something about his background. As he
found out more about the capabilities of the
men, he reorganized the squadron to place people where the best use could be made of
their skills and experience. In staff meetings,
disagreements were discussed and worked
out, and responsibilities were assigned when
all concerned were present. Authority was
clearly delegated to reduce confusion and
duplication of orders. The NCOs were held
responsible for the actions of their men and,
within limits, their decisions were enforced
without question.
Within two months the effects of the
changes were evident.The officers and enlist-
ed men learned what was expected of them
and began to see themselves as an essential
part of a well-run organization. They began
to take pride in their ability to accomplish
their mission despite the hardships. Morale
and teamwork improved. Before long the
squadron became one of the most efficient in

A nurse had been working in a critical care unit for more than 25 years, gaining respect for her competence and dedication before suspicions began to gather that she was diverting narcotics for her
own use. The acute care hospital had recently installed a “computerized medicine cabinet” for enhanced distribution and better monitoring of narcotics. The cabinet recorded the nurse’s per

nurses testified that they often deviated from the physician’s

for an IM injection, electing to give the medication by an IV route. Finally, there was testimony that the hospital had no formal policy for which nurse was to document narcotics in the paper record when two nurses, such as a preceptor and a mentee, both had responsibility for the patient. The nurse who was suspended testified that she, too, frequently entered data into the paper record long after she had administered the medication and, in some rare instances, entered the data on the following day.

1. John and the Habitat for Humanity Dilemma
Imagine yourself in John Reynold's position. What would you do? What are the social (or contextual) influences on how John thinks about his situation? Are they all equally relevant?
John Reynolds is a Research Chemist in Alabama. He also volunteers for Habitat for Humanity. In his volunteer work, he receives a lot of personal fulfillment as well as lines on his vita and credit towards "service in the community" at the laboratory where he is employed. One weekend, John sees a documentary film called
Blue Vinyl
. It essentially criticizes the polyvinylchloride-related industries for not using environmentally safe procedures, and for allowing PVC derivative compounds to leach into water tables. The current theory is that these compounds can later cause cancer in the human body. John was especially surprised to learn that vinyl siding on homes is considered to be one of the main contributors to groundwater and water table pollution. The documentary noted that a variety of home builders receive special incentive discounts to use vinyl siding. One such builder is Habitat for Humanity, which has used inexpensive vinyl siding in its homes for years, because Habitat receives vinyl siding at a reduced rate from the vinyl industry as a corporate tax shelter contribution. John does some research in respected journals, and decides that the link between vinyl products and cancer gives him cause for concern. What would you do in this case?
Blue Vinyl
is a 2002 documentary film directed by Daniel B. Gold and Judith Helfand. Dubbed the world's first toxic comedy, it highlights the hazards of bio-accumulation, pollution, and the make-up of what we commonly hope are benign plastics. It was shown at the Sundance Film Festival and received rave reviews from Roger Ebert. To be fair, some of the critics noted the final version of the film was edited to eliminate conflicting information and a woman who claimed to have a vinyl-related cancer later changed her diagnosis to another disease. There were other issues raised about the documentary’s credibility. Still, the film became the centerpiece of a campaign to educate and persuade industry change in producing vinyl products. You may use your own resources and research to view the film and obtain any relevant information.

Read the case study "Consolidated Products" at the end of Chapter 3 and answer the questions at the end of the reading.
Consolidated Products is a medium-sized manu-
facturer of consumer products with nonunion-
ized production workers. Ben Samuels was a
plant manager for Consolidated Products for
10 years,and he was well liked by the employ-
ees.They were grateful for the fitness center he
built for employees, and they enjoyed the so-
cial activities sponsored by the plant several
times a year, including company picnics and
holiday parties. He knew most of the workers
by name, and he spent part of each day walk-
ing around the plant to visit with them and ask
about their families or hobbies.
Ben believed that it was important to
treat employees properly so they would
have a sense of loyalty to the company. He
tried to avoid any layoffs when production
demand was slack,figuring that the company
could not afford to lose skilled workers that
are so difficult to replace.The workers knew
that if they had a special problem, Ben
would try to help them. For example, when
someone was injured but wanted to continue
working, Ben found another job in the plant
that the person could do despite having a
disability. Ben believed that if you treat peo-
ple right, they will do a good job for you
without close supervision or prodding. Ben
applied the same principle to his supervisors,
and he mostly left them alone to run their
departments as they saw fit. He did not set
objectives and standards for the plant, and
he never asked the supervisors to develop

Under Ben, the plant had the lowest
turnover among the company’s five plants,
but the second worst record for costs and
production levels. When the company was
acquired by another firm, Ben was asked to
take early retirement, and Phil Jones was
brought in to replace him.
Phil had a growing reputation as a man-
ager who could get things done,and he quickly
began making changes. Costs were cut by
trimming a number of activities such as the
fitness center at the plant, company picnics
and parties, and the human relations training
programs for supervisors. Phil believed that
training supervisors to be supportive was a
waste of time. His motto was: “If employees
don’t want to do the work,get rid of them and
find somebody else who does.”
Supervisors were instructed to establish
high performance standards for their depart-
ments and insist that people achieve them.A
computer monitoring system was introduced
so that the output of each worker could be
checked closely against the standards. Phil
told his supervisors to give any worker who

Interactive Session: Organizations The Battle Over Net Neutrality What kind of Internet user are you? Do you primarily use the Net to do a little e-mail and online banking? Or are you online all day, watching YouTube videos, downloading music files, or playing online games? Do you use your iPhone to stream TV shows and movies on a regular basis? If you’re a power Internet or smartphone user, you are consuming a great deal of bandwidth. Could hundreds of millions of people like you start to slow the Internet down? Video streaming on Netflix accounts for 32 percent of all bandwidth use in the United States, and Google’s YouTube for 19 percent of Web traffic at peak hours. If user demand overwhelms network capacity, the Internet might not come to a screeching halt, but users could face sluggish download speeds and video transmission. Heavy use of iPhones in urban areas such as New York and San Francisco has already degraded service on the AT&T wireless network. AT&T reported that 3 percent of its subscriber base accounted for 40 percent of its data traffic. Internet service providers (ISPs) assert that network congestion is a serious problem and that expanding their networks would require passing on burdensome costs to consumers. These companies believe differential pricing methods, which include data caps and metered use—charging based on the amount of bandwidth consumed—are the fairest way to finance necessary investments in their network infrastructures. But metering Internet use is not widely accepted, because of an ongoing debate about net neutrality. Net neutrality is the idea that Internet service providers must allow customers equal access to content and applications, regardless of the source or nature of the content. Presently, the Internet is neutral: all Internet traffic is treated equally on a first-come, first-served basis by Internet backbone owners. However, this arrangement prevents telecommunications and cable companies from charging differentiated prices based on the amount of bandwidth consumed by the content being delivered over the Internet. The strange alliance of net neutrality advocates includes MoveOn.org; the Christian Coalition; the American Library Association; data-intensive Web businesses such as Netflix, Amazon, and Google; major consumer groups; and a host of bloggers and small businesses. Net neutrality advocates argue that differentiated pricing would impose heavy costs on heavy bandwidth users such as YouTube, Skype, and other innovative services, preventing high-bandwidth startup companies from gaining traction. Net neutrality supporters also argue that without net neutrality, ISPs that are also cable companies, such as Comcast, might block online streaming video from Netflix or Hulu in order to force customers to use the cable company’s on-demand movie rental services. Network owners believe regulation to enforce net neutralit.

Read the case study below and answer the following questions in a 3-4 page paper in APA format (not including the cover page and reference page). Note that you must conduct research and your paper must have 3 scholarly references. This means that you must locate peer-reviewed articles. Be sure to support your opinion with evidence using the chapter concepts:
1. Do you think a new approach to leadership is necessary in the new South Korea? Or should Koreans stick to their traditional approach that brought them to where they are? Note that Lee Kun-Hee of Samsung (see above) resigned as CEO in 2008 after a massive slush fund scandal at Samsung. He returned in 2010 from disgrace to again lead the firm and is still leading it at the time of writing this publication. And he’s clear about the issue: “We’re in a crisis now. No one knows what will become of Samsung. Most of our products will be obsolete in ten years. We must begin anew.” Way back in 1992, Mr. Lee used the same rhetoric as a harbinger of his traditional style (“Samsung is a second class company … employees should change everything but their wife and children”). Samsung has taken sides on this issue, with a clear preference for the traditional leader-emanating style. What’s your view?
2. Not all Korean firms have kept a traditional leadership approach. Others are starting to use non-traditional approaches as noted above. What sorts of things are SKT and LG doing and what are the results there?
3. What specific things could these firms import from other countries to unfreeze this purported stodgy, hierarchal, family-style leadership?
4. Importing a different style is far from a panacea. As discussed in this chapter, a different style can be prone to problems when applied poorly across culture. What are some of these problems that could be anticipated if a more Western style is used? And, if we take the statements of KT above at face value, what could they and others do to overcome the resistance to new, non-traditional leader styles should they choose to use these?
Old Habits Die Hard: Can South Korean Companies Loosen Up Their Leadership?
Many Western companies want leaders who encourage ideas, innovation, and speedy decision making. But leadership in Asia conjures up words like order, paternalism, and formality. That certainly describes the leadership approach in many large Korean companies over the past 50 years. Over this half century of great economic success, the power to make key decisions was concentrated at the top of rigidly bureaucratic corporate structures. And these structures were themselves tied to larger interrelated and co-owned conglomerates—the Korean
chaebol
system. These massive industrial groups are often run by rich, inscrutable families who live much like royalty in South Korea. For example, the Lee family is the head of Samsung Electronics—a group whose products account for nearly 20% of the country’s gross domestic product. Other major company groups i.

What they did well could be a longer list and does not need to be limited.
Background
Background: International Accounting
The situation:
Back office operations supporting the global operations were all in HQ in the United States. While some countries had financial staff, the majority of business financial services were supplied from this HQ group.
Problems:
Processing expense and budgetary costs for this unit were skyrocketing (over 20% a year).
The operation is very people intensive and is seen as highly inefficient (by management, the workers in the unit are frustrated too, and the “internal customers” are clearly not satisfied with the quality and timeliness of the work).
One measure of the problem is that the regions and local countries vociferously complained about the charge backs from the unit. Better services could be gotten locally, for less cost.
Internal interviews and a questionnaire uncovered backlogs in work, especially in answering customer inquiries. Audits showed proof problems, and records did not match. There was high turnover and poor training of newer staff. Errors were increasing, and adding a quality and compliance staff did not seem to help at all.
Actions:
When the problem was first raised, the internal OD team conducted a series of interviews with management and customers. They suggested that the employees take a survey to assess motivation and identify problems from their view. The survey used was a Job Diagnostic, derived from the work of Hackman and Oldham on job enrichment. It measured the five classic elements: task significance, variety, and identity (along with autonomy and feedback).
The survey was mailed to the employees' homes so they would not feel threatened, but no announcements at work were made. The return rate was so poor, several meetings were held (by management without a consultant) to explain why they were sent and what they were hoping to do. Given all the problems and concerns raised at these meetings, the internal consulting team was asked to hold team building sessions. They did, and the same issues were raised—everything seemed to be .

1. John and the Habitat for Humanity Dilemma
Imagine yourself in John Reynold's position. What would you do? What are the social (or contextual) influences on how John thinks about his situation? Are they all equally relevant?
John Reynolds is a Research Chemist in Alabama. He also volunteers for Habitat for Humanity. In his volunteer work, he receives a lot of personal fulfillment as well as lines on his vita and credit towards "service in the community" at the laboratory where he is employed. One weekend, John sees a documentary film called
Blue Vinyl
. It essentially criticizes the polyvinylchloride-related industries for not using environmentally safe procedures, and for allowing PVC derivative compounds to leach into water tables. The current theory is that these compounds can later cause cancer in the human body. John was especially surprised to learn that vinyl siding on homes is considered to be one of the main contributors to groundwater and water table pollution. The documentary noted that a variety of home builders receive special incentive discounts to use vinyl siding. One such builder is Habitat for Humanity, which has used inexpensive vinyl siding in its homes for years, because Habitat receives vinyl siding at a reduced rate from the vinyl industry as a corporate tax shelter contribution. John does some research in respected journals, and decides that the link between vinyl products and cancer gives him cause for concern. What would you do in this case?
Blue Vinyl
is a 2002 documentary film directed by Daniel B. Gold and Judith Helfand. Dubbed the world's first toxic comedy, it highlights the hazards of bio-accumulation, pollution, and the make-up of what we commonly hope are benign plastics. It was shown at the Sundance Film Festival and received rave reviews from Roger Ebert. To be fair, some of the critics noted the final version of the film was edited to eliminate conflicting information and a woman who claimed to have a vinyl-related cancer later changed her diagnosis to another disease. There were other issues raised about the documentary’s credibility. Still, the film became the centerpiece of a campaign to educate and persuade industry change in producing vinyl products. You may use your own resources and research to view the film and obtain any relevant information.

Read the
background
of work redesign below done by the internal consulting team. As external consultants, you want to tell them what they did well and what concerns you have about their process and recommended actions.
Include the following information:
Create one list to specify the analysis and work redesign strategies used.
Create a second list identifying the factors for change that were successfully addressed.
Create a third list identifying any factors that deserve more attention. For at least one of these factors, identify how you might have used a different change management practice to handle it.
Remember that no matter how many individual items are raised, feedback should be focused on the top 2 or 3 actions to change. Pay particular attention to issues related to handling resistance because they pertain to creating conditions for effective change. What they did well could be a longer list and does not need to be limited.
Background
Background: International Accounting
The situation:
Back office operations supporting the global operations were all in HQ in the United States. While some countries had financial staff, the majority of business financial services were supplied from this HQ group.
Problems:
Processing expense and budgetary costs for this unit were skyrocketing (over 20% a year).
The operation is very people intensive and is seen as highly inefficient (by management, the workers in the unit are frustrated too, and the “internal customers” are clearly not satisfied with the quality and timeliness of the work).
One measure of the problem is that the regions and local countries vociferously complained about the charge backs from the unit. Better services could be gotten locally, for less cost.
Internal interviews and a questionnaire uncovered backlogs in work, especially in answering customer inquiries. Audits showed proof problems, and records did not match. There was high turnover and poor training of newer staff. Errors were increasing, and adding a quality and compliance staff did not seem to help at all.
Actions:
When the problem was first raised, the internal OD team conducted a series of interviews with management and customers. They suggested that the employees take a survey to assess motivation and identify problems from their view. The survey used was a Job Diagnostic, derived from the work of Hackman and Oldham on job enrichment. It measured the five classic elements: task significance, variety, and identity (along with autonomy and feedback).
The survey was mailed to the employees' homes so they would not feel threatened, but no announcements at work were made. The return rate was so poor, several meetings were held (by management without a consultant) to explain why they were sent and what they were hoping to do. Given all the problems and concerns raised at these meetings, the internal consulting team was asked to hold team building sessions. They did, and the same issues were raised—everything seemed to be .

1. What are some of the conditions that had to be maintained for the growth of ex utero embryos.
2. What day were these embryos grown to (mice are on embryonic day 20 (E20)), were they normal to this point / how many development marks were analyzed to determine this?
3. What is a factor that would have to be overcome to continue ex utero development?
4. Summarize what the authors are showing in Figure 4 of the paper.
5. The last sentence of the article notes that this work sets the stage for expanding ex utero embryo research to different mammalian species and from stem cell aggregated synthetic embryos. Should we study human embryos with this technique if they can be developed in culture from stem cells. Why or why not?
