Case Study

This is from an old story, back in the ’30s, in the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less. A 10 year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.

“How much is an ice cream sundae?” the little boy asked. “Fifty cents,” replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins he had. “Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?” he inquired. By now, more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing very impatient. “Thirty-five cents,” she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. “I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry. As she wiped down the table, there placed neatly beside the empty dish were two nickels and five pennies. You see, he couldn’t have the sundae because he had to have enough money to leave her a tip.

You are required to write a report on the following:

1.      Compare Vroom’s Expectancy theory against Maslow’s need theory. Interpret from the case the situations where Vroom’s expectancy theory of motivation has been used in this story.

2.      Present your case in the class justifying how communication plays a vital role in keeping employees motivated in your organization. Compare the communication styles.

One of the classic debates in the popular press is whether all buzz or word of mouth—positive and negative—is good for a brand. Some feel that “any press is good press” and that if people are talking, that is a good thing. Others challenge that notion and say the content of the dialogue is what really matters.

Take a position: “All news is good news” and any buzz is helpful for a brand versus. The content of buzz can make or break a brand.

The Genetics & IVF Institute conducted a clinical trial of the YSORT method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a boy. As of this writing, 291 babies were born to parents using the YSORT method, and 239 of them were boys. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the YSORT method is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a boy

2. Suppose body mass index (BMI) varies approximately to the normal distribution in a population of boys aged 2-20 years. A national survey analyzed the BMI for American adolescents in this age range and found the µ=17.8 and the σ=1.9. a) What is the 25th percentile of this distribution? (1 point) b) What is the z-score corresponding to finding a boy with at least a BMI of 19.27? (2 points) c) What is the probability of finding a boy with at least this BMI? (2 points)

Velocity, a consulting firm

Velocity, a consulting firm, enters into a contract to help Burger Boy, a fast-food restaurant, design a marketing strategy to compete with Burger King. The contract spans eight months. Burger Boy promises to pay $60,000 at the beginning of each month. At the end of the contract, Velocity either will give Burger Boy a refund of $20,000 or will be entitled to an additional $20,000 bonus, depending on whether sales at Burger Boy at yearend have increased to a target level. At the inception of the contract, Velocity estimates an 80% chance that it will earn the $20,000 bonus and calculates the contract price based on the expected value of future payments to be received. After four months, circumstances change, and Velocity revises to 60% its estimate of the probability that it will earn the bonus. At the end of the contract, Velocity receives the additional consideration of $20,000. 

 

Required: 

1. Prepare the journal entry to record revenue each month for the first four months of the contract. 

2. Prepare the journal entry that the Velocity Company would record after four months to recognize the change in estimate associated with the reduced likelihood that the $20,000 bonus will be received. 

3. Prepare the journal entry to record the revenue each month for the second four months of the contract. 

4. Prepare the journal entry after eight months to record receipt of the $20,000 cash bonus.
