1. Suppose you wanted to change your organization’s culture. What sort of resistance would you expect from employees? How would you deal with this resistance? To what extent is culture manageable? Changeable?

2. Moving from cultural change (Question 1) to general change, answer the following questions. Can organizations stop resistance to change? If so, how? Does organizational culture have a role in significant change? Explain the interaction between culture and change?

3. At the end of Chapter 15, the second cautionary note suggests that a dysfunctional personality manifested by a Chief Executive may create the same dysfunctional culture for the organization. Thinking about any organization in your past, have you seen evidence that a key leader has been partially responsible for one or more of the listed dysfunctional symptoms? Or conversely, have you seen a CEO who has been responsible for the symptoms of a strong and functional culture? Did this influence come through artifacts, values, or assumptions and/or through any of the five leader roles identified by Edgar Schein? Explain in detail.

2. (Binomial model) Consider a roulette wheel with 38 slots, of which 18 are red, 18 are black, and 2 are green (0 and 00). You spin the wheel 6 times.

(a) What is the probability that 2 of those times the ball ends up in a green slot? (

b) What is the probability that 4 of those times the ball ends up in a red slot?

3. (Normal approximation to binomial model) Take the roulette wheel from question 2. Assume that the wheel is spun 100 times, and you are interested in whether the ball ends up in a red slot.

(a) Verify that you can use the normal model here.

(b) Find the probability that the ball ends up in a red slot at least 60 times.

You must select between two options that have a MARR of 12%. Option Red has an initial cost of $50,000 and annual benefits of $13,000 for the next six years. Option Blue has an initial cost of $70,000 and annual benefits of $15,250 for the next eight years. State here on Blackboard what option should be selected using an incremental ROR analysis. You must also state here on Blackboard the increment rate of return (in percent to 2 decimal places like 9.38%) you used to make the selection.

Now follow the steps for Hypothesis testing: i. State Null and Alternate hypothesis. Your hypothesis must be based on the assumption that the M&M’s in your bag are expected to follow the following pattern: 24% cyan blue, 20% orange, 16% green, 14% bright yellow, 13% red, 13% brown. ii. Select a level of significance iii. Formulate a decision rule. Calculate critical value iv. Conduct a sample, calculate test statistic and make a statistical decision. v. Make a Business Decision. 3. . I want you to turn-in a document that addresses each of the above steps in the hypothesis testing.
