Bob has worked for Company X for the past 12 years as a supervisor in the mailroom. He has 5 "communication distribution representatives (CDRs)" working for him. Bob is 58 years old and the CDRs are all in their 20's and 30's. He was recently notified that his department is being outsourced and his and the other mailroom positions will be eliminated by the end of the month. During this "notification period" impacted employees (including Bob) could apply for any internal positions open in the company. Company X had 2 customer service representatives (CDRs) open during the notification period. Although this would be considered a demotion, Bob decided to apply for the job in an effort to stay at the company. Out of the 5 CDRs, 3 decided to apply for the CSR positions as well. All internal candidates were interviewed and both positions were filled by the former CDR employees. Bob was very upset about this and demanded to know why he wasn't hired. The response provided to him by Matt Jones,…

The state and local police departments are trying to analyze crime rates so they can shift their patrols from decreasing-rate areas to areas where rates are increasing. The city and county have been geographically segmented into areas containing 5,000 residences. The police recognize that not all crimes and offenses are reported: people do not want to become involved, consider the offenses too small to report, are too embarrassed to make a police report, or do not take the time, among other reasons. Every month, because of this, the police are contacting by phone a random sample of 800 of the 5,000 residences for data on crime. (Respondents are guaranteed anonymity.) Here are the data collected for the past 12 months for one area:

- Digital Controis, Inc. (DCI), manufactures two models of a radar gun used by police to monitor the speed of automobiles. Model A has an accuracy of plus or minus 1 mile per hour, whereas the smaller model B has an accuracy of plus or minus 3 miles per hour. For the next week, the company has orders for 100 units of model A and 150 units of model B. Although DCI purchases all the electronic components used in both models, the plastic cases for both models are manufactured at a DCI plant in Newark, New Jersey. Each model A case requires 4 minutes of injection-molding time and 6 minutes of assembly time. Each model B case requires 3 minutes of injection-molding time and 8 minutes of assembly time. For next week, the Newark plant has 600 minutes of injection-molding time avallable and 1,080 minutes of assembly time availab The manufacturing cost is $10 per case for model A and $6 per case for model B.

The general manager is mindful of the high cost of hiring the consultant and sourcing the equipment to train Mansfield Energy Corp’s employees and is therefore hesitant to invite his competitors.
