Question 1

Arrow Furniture is a family-owned and operated manufacturer of high-end furniture located in North Carolina. The furniture industry has suffered from foreign competition over recent years. Nationwide, there have been massive layoffs and several large companies have closed. Arrow’s workers are feeling these pressures and have begun displaying counterproductive behaviors. The HR manager recently told Mary Baker, the family member serving as CEO, that employees are threatening to unionize if they don’t get higher pay and more job security. Mary is upset by this comment because the family has supported employees with decent salaries and health benefits. Higher wages are the last thing the company needs if they are to remain competitive. 

The Baker family wants to turn things around. They know they will have to be more competitive price-wise. This might be achieved by finding cheaper suppliers, lowering employee labor costs, or increasing productivity. That said, the Baker’s strongly believe that it is important to “take care of their people,” many of whom are lifelong employees.

A global car manufacturer is going to open a new facility in the community. It is likely the company will offer higher salaries and better benefits than offered by Arrow Furniture. The firm is known to offer such benefits in an attempt to reduce the need for a union. Jobs at this plant will be more technically advanced than those at Arrow and the company is offering job training to those who are interested. 

The Bakers are aware that the nature of work at Arrow results in moderate levels of hygiene factors and low motivators.

Using the 3-Step Problem-Solving Approach and the Organizing Framework, what should the Bakers do to motivate their employees and get support for the company’s future plans?

Research Paper

 Summarize your findings.  Please limit resources to those that are less than ten years old, and follow these guidelines for crafting your paper – Research Papers 

 Topics:  Choose one topic from the list below.  You can choose to explore a narrow issue relative to that topic – for example – if you choose diversity and inclusion, you may be interested in best practices in recruiting women into roles in technology.  Before starting your research, it may help to have a question in mind that you would like to answer – like – “I know companies are moving away from traditional performance reviews. Why is that and what are they replacing them with?”  I’d love to know the question you are trying to answer at the start of your paper.  It would be helpful to choose a topic that would apply to the organization you work ( SECURITY OFFICER)  because assignment 2 will ask you to apply the best practices you learned about to your own organization! 

TOPIC …….. Diversity & Inclusion

  

Please limit your papers to about five pages, double-spaced, excluding cover and references.  Make sure to include citations throughout the paper and use APA formatting guidelines.  Use a minimum of five high-quality sources. 

An outstanding paper will be:

1. Well written – well-formatted, few to no writing errors, using citations and references, and following APA guidelines.

2. Detailed – you use data from solid sources to answer the question you posed at the beginning and outline current, relevant best practices in your topic area.

3. Thoughtful – you don’t just present information, but you analyze it and advocate for a best practice or set of best practices and provide sound reasoning for your position.
