As a human resources manager, you realize that performance management must be considered even before a person becomes an employee of the organization. One of your goals is to reduce employee turnover through the revision of the personnel assessments used during the recruitment and hiring process.

The first opportunity to implement the new personnel assessments will be next month when you begin interviewing for three open positions in the training department.

In your Discussion, address the following:

1. What types of personnel assessments are you familiar with? Do you prefer one type of assessment over the other?
2. Which assessments would you use for the training position candidates and why do you believe these are the most appropriate?
3. How would you monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the use of each assessment?
4. How will you evaluate this data in relation to the overall performance of the organization? If you found flaws in the data, how would you correct or report them?

In detail of how the Enron scandal came about and how it became to be one of the biggest scandal seen till this day (3-4 pages) (2 sources)

Plaintiff filed a petition for preliminary injunction asking the court to enjoin the sale of a 1991 Ferrari F40 to Karam Automotive Inc., as well as a complaint seeking specific performance of the alleged contract to sell the Ferrari to plaintiff for $800,000, or in the alternative, damages for defendants' breach of the alleged contract.

Michael Haber alleged the following: on December 28, 2013, he met with Mr. Moore, who held himself out as the Executor of Mr. Brehaut's Estate and expressed to Mr. Moore his interest in purchasing a Ferrari that was part of the estate. On January 1, 2014, Mr. Moore informed Mr. Haber that the Estate of Mr. Brehaut would accept $800,000 for the Ferrari and said to him, "It's your car." On January 6, 2014, following an inspection by Mr. Haber's mechanic, Mr. Moore shook Mr. Haber's hand and said, "We have a deal." After the oral agreement was reached, Mr. Moore advised Mr. Haber that there was an outstanding loan against the Ferrari, and that he would have to contact the bank to satisfy the loan. Later, when Mr. Haber arrived at his office, he received a phone call from a credit union employee stating that $75,554.30 was required to pay off the loan. On January 10, 2014, in a phone conversation, Mr. Moore told Mr. Haber, “You're going to be pissed at me"; someone had offered him a higher amount for the car, and so he did not agree to sell the car to Mr. Haber.

In his answer, the defendant denied that an agreement had been reached and pleaded the statute of frauds. Do you think the court applied the statute of frauds in this case to bar the action by the plaintiff? Why or why not?

Walter and Jesse own a business together. The business delivers food based on special recipes developed by Walter. Gus owns a business in the same city, Loot Lake, which sells pizza. One day, Gus approaches Walter and Jesse with a business opportunity. He proposes to sell all the pizza in the south side of the city while Walter and Jesse can sell in the north side of the city. He also agrees that Walter and Jesse can still sell food on the south side of the city as long as the food is not pizza or anything substantially similar. Walter thinks this is a great idea, but Jesse is not so sure. However, despite his reservations, Jesse doesn’t say anything. The two businesses agree to go with the plan proposed by Gus for a period of two years, but they do not put this agreement in writing. They also agree in a short written note, that they will consult with each other anytime either business wants to change its prices. The plan goes well for six months, but soon Walter decides that his pizza recipe is far superior to the one Gus uses, and Walter thinks that if he sells on the south side, he can put Gus out of business and become the main provider of pizza in the city. He talks to Jesse and they decide to go ahead and start immediately selling pizzas on the south side of the city despite their agreement with Gus. Please discuss and analyze all relevant legal issues raised by this hypothetical scenario.

At a sports bar, Martin offers to sell an authentic Wayne Gretzky Edmonton Oilers hockey jersey to his friend Alfred for $400. Unknown to both, Martin’s dog at home has just finished shredding the jersey. Carl arrives at the bar, and hearing of the deal, tells Alfred he has previously seen the jersey, and that it is not “game-worn” by Gretzky, but rather a current authorized production official replica jersey, made by an NHL-licensed supplier. What legal principles apply to this deal?

Context: Muskogee County Choppers, till recently was a small ‘custom’ motorcycle/chopper production unit, designing and manufacturing custom motorcycles and trikes for a small regional market, mainly Oklahoma and Arkansas. The firm has seen an infusion of capital from a group of rich ‘angel investors’ who had a love for motorcycling. The firm is ‘small’ and even after innovation, capital infusion and growth will in no way match the major players like Harley, Honda, Kawasaki etc. Further, ‘trikes’ unlike motorcycles may be considered a ‘niche’ rather than mass market product.

With this infusion of capital, MCC is now a LLC (Limited Liability Company) and plans to make a foray into major markets, at least catering to Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas , Oklahoma, and New Mexico, starting with a ‘trike’ to compete with the Polaris Spyder or CANAM-Ryker. The MCC Trike is similar, with two front wheels and one rear wheel. It is 500cc, in contrast with other trikes that are normally with higher capacity engines (900 cc +). The Canam Ryker and Polaris Spyder are also like the MCC trike, in that they have two front and one rear wheel, unlike Harley trikes etc that have one front wheel and two rear wheels.

MCC is a new company and even with an infusion of capital from angel investors cannot compete with the financial strength of companies like Harley and Honda.
