Essay #2

Thirty American cities faced chaos as their fast food chains grappled with a strike over low wages. Although workers received the federally mandated minimum wage of $8.25 per hour, workers claimed it was not a living wage. Additionally, the strikers issued a statement that $16 per hour would be barely enough to work and live in their neighborhoods. The fast food industry replied, in a public statement, that nearly doubling wages would be "bad for business and pass costs onto customers." Further, they asserted that several franchises pay $9 per hour although studies showed such a wage allowed a family only about $20 per day as to survive. Neither side, workers nor corporations, heard the other-leading to layoffs and massive costs associated with training new hires as to replace the lost workers.

Why were communications difficult during the strike? Explain how barriers existed within the scenario and how corporate leaders may have overcome them. Also, why do strong emotions emerge during organizational change? How can corporate leaders forge such emotions into emotional bonds allowing them to resolve the strike?

Essay #3

You are promoted to an internet service provider (ISP) quality analysis team upon completing the DBA program. Your promotion requires you survive the 90-day evaluation period as to become fully tenured. Your first task is to figure out why there are so many customers complaining about the responsiveness of their internet connection.

The term responsiveness does not have a clearly defined meaning although it is an important quality perceived by customers. Identify three variables involved with responsiveness, operationalize them, and determine how to measure them along their dimensions. Argue for the relevance, operationalization, measurement, and dimension of the three variables. Further, argue how your variables interact as to allow a measurement of responsiveness.

Essay #4

Vertical and horizontal markets are commonplace in media, healthcare, and computer software sectors. For example, Warner Bros Entertainment is an example of a vertical media company because it owns all stages of media production-from creation, filming, post-processing, and all the small companies leading to a showing at a movie theatre. Conversely, Sony is an example of a horizontal company due to its history of merging with competitors in the same industry, such as Zenith Corporation.

Identify one horizontal and one vertical e-commerce company. Explain the marketing strategy of both firms given their identification as either vertical or horizontal. Given the companies: (a) choose one element of the horizontal marketing strategy and modify it as to improve the marketing strategy of the vertically integrated firm; (b) choose one element of the vertically integrated marketing strategy and modify it as to improve the online marketing strategy of horizontal company; and (c) justify your recommendations. 

Essay #5
