A sales and marketing management magazine conducted a survey on salespeople cheating on their expense reports and other unethical conduct. In the survey on 200 managers, 58% of the managers have caught salespeople cheating on an expense report, 50% have caught salespeople working a second job on company time, 22% have caught salespeople listing a “bar” as a restaurant on an expense report, and 19% have caught salespeople giving a kickback to a customer. To convert the data into useful information, construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population proportion of managers who have caught salespeople cheating on an expense report, determine the critical value, and sampling error. Explain what management can learn from the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population proportion of managers who have caught salespeople cheating on an expense report.

On October 1, 2018, Pipes & Plumbing Company received a 10 percent, six - month note receivable from Kirkman Constructions, one of Pipes & Plumbing Company’s problem credit customers. Kirkman had owed $75,000 on an account receivable that had defaulted. Pipes & Plumbing insists that any customer who fails to pay an account receivable when due must replace their unpaid account receivable with an interest - bearing note receivable.

2. Record accrued interest at December 31, 2018.

3. Assume that Kirkman Constructions pays the note plus accrued interest in ful l. Record the collection of the principal and interest on April 1, 2019.

4. Assume that Kirkman Constructions did not make the necessary principal and i nterest payment on April 1, 2019, defaulting on his obligation. Record the default on April 1, 2019.

1. Ellen Lee, human resource manager of High Fashion Clothing Company, a manufacturer of women’s clothing and accessories, had just returned from a management development seminar on work motivation. She felt that the company could immediately make use some of the theories she learnt to enhance the workers’ productivity. She was able to convince the executive committee of the company to launch a “high pay reward scheme” – giving extra bonus to those hard working staff members. After the program had been in operation for a number of months, she was puzzled to find that the results were not as she had expected. Clothing designers who belong to a group of yuppies (優皮士) did not seem to react enthusiastically to the programs. They responded by saying that they are not worrying about money, they are working for their interests. The motivation program was basically a waste of their time. Cutters, seamsters, pressers and packagers, who belong to a group of grassroot(草根階層) frontline staff reacted positively to the motivation program. Production was increased by 20 percent. (a) Use Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory to analyze the different needs of the two groups of staff in High Fashion Clothing Company.

(b) Hence explain why Ellen’s motivation program succeeded in one group but failed in the other group.

(c) What strategies would you recommend to Ellen to ensure high levels of motivation among the group of clothing designers?

By using SWOT analysis identify 6 strengths, 3weaknesses, 1 opportunity, and 2 threats. Then to write an analytical text for the case study. Johnson & Johnson Consumer Products, INC. Johnson & Johnson is a household name in baby-care as well as medical products. Nearly every family in the United States has in its house at least one product made by this company. Founded in 1885, Johnson & Johnson is currently an international enterprise, with 170 affiliated companies in fifty-five countries. J&J enjoys a reputation for high-quality products and business integrity. Consumers feel that they can trust J&J products. Trust is a big issue for a firm that makes pharmaceuticals. Customers must believe that the products improve, not endanger, their health. J&J makes a big thing of its credo statement, a four-paragraph guiding philosophy that outlines a commitment to business integrity. According to its credo, the J&J company is required to place a high priority on the needs of customers. Protecting customers is the company’s first concern. All was well until J&J received news that its leading product, Tylenol capsules, had been contaminated with lethal poison. In the United States, Tylenol and other mild pain relievers are sold in the pharmacies and other stores over-the-counter, that is, without a doctor’s prescription. Mr. David Clare, the president of J&J, said that someone had opened the capsules and poisoned them with cyanide. The fact that seven people in the Chicago area died when they took Extra-Strength Tylenol, a common pain-relieving medicine made by J&J, shocked people all over the world. People all over the world were horrified by the deaths of seven innocent people who took Tylenol capsules laced with deadly cyanide. It seemed that anyone could have bought those deadly pills, and anyone could have died from ingesting them. This element of randomness was particularly frightening. After seven innocent people died from taking contaminated Tylenol, sales of the painkiller fell dramatically. The non-aspirin drug’s share of the $1.2 billion painkiller market fell from 35 percent to 7 percent. In a poll, a majority of Tylenol users said they probably would never return to the capsule. But J&J responded to the frightening incident in a notable way. Its executives took a decision that turned out to be not only ethical but profitable, too. Going against all odds, the chairman of J&J decided to spend whatever millions it would cost to recall 31 million bottles of Tylenol capsules from store shelves across the United States. The day after J&J learned that some of its popular Tylenol capsules had been poisoned, the company started withdrawing 31 million bottles of Tylenol from country. They were afraid that other bottles might have been tampered with. Official at the Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. government agency that approves products for sale to the public, feared that the recall would increase the panic already touched off by the poisoning deaths of seven Chicago-area residents who had taken capsules that had been laced with cyanide. The FBI argued that such an expensive action would demonstrate to potential terrorists that they could bring a $5.9 billion corporation to its knees . But J&J chairman’s decision prevailed, and his move proved to be decisive in a remarkable and unparalleled win back of public confidence in his company’s product… Tylenol regained more than 80 percent of the market share it held before the still unsolved poisoning. As a result of the seven deaths in Chicago, Illinois, J&J was able to play a significant role in affecting positive changes in the U.S. pharmaceutical industry and in government regulation of that industry. The company began redesigning the package to restore public confidence. Within twenty-four hours, J&J had contacted many of the companies that would be involved in the redesign. By the end of the week, J&J had decided that the new Tylenol bottle would have three barriers to prevent tampering: a glued box, a ‘shrink’ neckband and an inner seal. To get Tylenol back on the market, J&J spent $ 1 million on engravers to redesign 650 pieces of artwork for the product. Cartons and sealing equipment cost more than $ 5 million during the first few weeks. By the fifth week after the Chicago deaths, the first 500,000 units of the new tamper-resistant Tylenol package were produced. While J&J led industry efforts to protect consumers, the Food and Drug Administration began developing stronger packaging regulations. As a result, all capsules and liquid drugs must now come in tamper-resistant packages. These guidelines do not only protect the consumer but also the pharmaceutical companies such as J&J. Four years after the first incident, another person died after taking poisoned Tylenol from so-called tamper-resistant package. J&J is faced again with the problem of winning back the public trust. To do this, it must get the media on its side.
