Pigs R US Corporate Profile (is a company that produces ham)
Current Company Vision: Bringing quality meats to family tables everywhere.
Current Mission: We believe that family and tradition matter. Pigs R Us is a family too and because we believe that family matters, it our commitment to put only quality pork products on your kitchen table just as we would our own.
Current Business Philosophy
As one of the largest worldwide producers of pork products it is the goal of PRU to help improve its international sales. It will now look forward two years as change in business strategy is imperative to keep growing. The need for innovation and competitive edge ideas are the focus for the next two years. Sustainability both for profit and planet is foremost in the minds of the leadership. The development of "green" friendly international delivery strategies will be a main emphasis.
Current Corporate Culture
PRU has always considered their employees to be like family. They value their input in the business and seek to empower them whenever they can. The current company culture is a hierarchical with a functional underpinning. The growth of the company and the need for structure and communication to keep the global deadlines has caused the Directors to move towards a collaborative culture. They hope that the family feel of the clan culture will not be lost hence the hybrid.
Organizational Structure:
This company has a functional division structure. However, within each division is a functional structure whose make up is dependent on its purpose. For instance, if the branch is a meat packing plant where slaughter takes place than its decision-making flow will follow the jobs that are part of the slaughter and packing processes. Communication and decision making still flows from top down.

A certain restaurant in town is known for refusing to give separate bills to customers. After a group has ordered and eaten together at this restaurant, the group is presented with a single bill for the entire amount that the group has eaten. It has been suggested that the restaurant does this because, with a single bill, those who dine in groups will be more likely to simply divide the charge equally, each person paying the same amount irrespective of who ordered the most, and that diners, knowing they will ultimately divide the charge equally, will order more than they would have ordered had each expected to pay only for his own order. Analyze this situation using the following model.
There are 3 diners in a group, denoted i = 1, 2, 3. Each has a utility function of the form ui (xi , ci) = ai ln (xi) - ti , where xi represents the amount of food ordered and eaten by i and ti is the amount that i has to pay. The price of food is px = 1. Assume that a1 = 1, a2 = 2 and a3 = 3.
a. How much food will each individual order knowing that the bill will be shared and how much will they order in total?
b. How much food will each individual order if he or she has to pay for her own order and how much will they order in total?
c. Provide an intuition for why the bill is larger in (a) than in (b).
