But what are reasonable outcomes of the influence of global processes on education? While the question of how global processes influence all aspects of education (and who controls these forces) is multidimensional and not completely testable, there appear to be some theories of globalization as it relates to education that can be empirically examined. References: | The authors are not alone in asking “what are reasonable outcomes of the influence of global processes on education?” (p. 138). In fact, this same question provides the basis for the discussion that follows. |

A teacher is one who guides or leads. To guide does not necessarily mean to instruct directly. We often think of teaching as direct instruction (presenting information, asking questions, giving feedback, demonstrating some procedure,evaluating student progress, and so on). But a teacher can guide without instructing directly. A good example is the Montessori system of education. In a Montessori school, most of what a child learns is through interacting with a variety of curriculum materials in a particular context. A Montessori teacher does much less direct instruction than do teachers in traditional schools. References: | Teachers should be guides or leaders. In the role of a guide, a teacher does less presenting of information, demonstrating and providing feedback. For example, in a Montessori school, most student learning occurs through interaction with a variety of class materials, rather than interaction with a teacher. |

Suppose you study a group of successful companies and you find that they emphasize customer focus, or quality improvement, or empowerment; how do you know that you haven't merely discovered the management practice equivalent of having buildings? How do you know that you've discovered something that distinguishes the successful companies from other companies? You don't know. You can't know--not unless you have a control set, a comparison group. References: | It's clear that, in the end, they wanted to ensure that they had “discovered something that distinguishes the successful companies from other companies” rather than identifying attributes that all the successful companies studied share (e.g., an emphasis on customer focus, or quality improvement, or empowerment) (p. 14). |

There is a desperate need for theorists and researchers to generate and refine a new breed of learning-focused instructional design theories that help educators and trainers to meet those needs, (i.e., that focus on learning and that foster development of initiative, teamwork, thinking skills, and diversity). The health of instructional-design theory also depends on its ability to involve stakeholders in the design process. References: | Reigeluth (1999) maintains that we "need theorists and researchers to generate and refine ... learning-focused instructional design theories...." Such theories will "help educators and trainers to meet those needs (i.e., that focus on learning and that foster development of initiative, teamwork, thinking skills, and diversity)" (p. 27).

How Bad Performance Management Killed Microsoft’s Edge
By DARCY JACOBSEN
What went wrong? Microsoft has been crippled by a management system known as “stack ranking.” Like the hated bell curve of your high school memory, this program forced each business area to rank a certain percentage of employees as top, good, average, or poor performers. That means that even if your department was full of stars, a certain quota would be getting bad reviews—no matter how hard they worked. Pretty demoralizing.
Here is a quote from the preview of the article that’s now available online:
“Every current and former Microsoft employee I interviewed—every one—cited stack ranking as the most destructive process inside of Microsoft, something that drove out untold numbers of employees,” Eichenwald writes. “If you were on a team of 10 people, you walked in the first day knowing that, no matter how good everyone was, 2 people were going to get a great review, 7 were going to get mediocre reviews, and 1 was going to get a terrible review,” says a former software developer. “It leads to employees focusing on competing with each other rather than competing with other companies.”
This sort of cannibalistic performance management practice—with its rigid, stratified winner’s circle—completely disengaged many workers at the company, and led to a culture that did not encourage cooperation or teamwork. Innovation and excellence fell victim to the need to compete with co-workers for not only recognition but survival. Said one former employee: “It was always much less about how I could become a better engineer and much more about my need to improve my visibility among other managers.”
Microsoft, once the uncontested king of the tech industry, has faltered while companies like Facebook, Apple and Google have excelled. Where Microsoft had a head start on technologies like smart phones, social networking and e-reader tablets, in every case the company’s culture, which penalized risk-taking, caused them to fail.
Good talent management is not divisive; it is inclusive. It takes into account the viewpoints of peers; it doesn’t pit you against peers. It is flexible and immediate and responsive to the needs of management and the needs of workers. It works in tandem with the culture you want to encourage; it does not set up a new, toxic culture. The surest way to kill your company is to ignore these principles.
Read the case and answer the following questions. All questions carry equal marks.
Q1. Identify the performance measurement approach adopted in the Microsoft company and analyze its negative impact on employee morale, creativity and work-outcomes.
Q2. Identify and explain the key stages of performance management cycle in which Microsoft company made errors in designing an effective performance management system. Give examples.
Q3. In your opinion, is the performance management system at Microsoft ethical? Can it create legal issues for the company?
Q4. Plan and propose a new performance management system for Microsoft company capable of motivating the employees, taking into consideration all the stages of PMS development.

Y1 = Total reported crimes per million inhabitants Y2 = Crimes of violence reported per 100,000 inhabitants X3 = Annual budget for the police dollars per capita X4 =% of people 25 years old or older who finished high school X5 =% of young people between 16 and 19 years old who do not attend high school nor have graduated from it. X6 =% of young people between the ages of 18 and 24 who attend university X7 =% of people with 25 years or more who achieved a 4-year university career
The attached Excel document presents the crime statistics in a city. Other important information about education is also presented.
The purpose of this exercise is to create two models of multiple linear regression where we try to predict
(1) Y1 using as predictors X3, X5, X6
(2)) Y2 using as predictors X3, X4, X7
In each case you need:
A. The model (all beta coefficients) and the interpretation of each coefficient.
B. How significant are each of the coefficients
C. The coefficient of determination of the model (R squared)
D. The interpretation of R squared
E. In case (a) predict: What will be the rate of total crimes reported per million inhabitants if $ 50 per year are assigned per capita to the police, there is a 10% of young people between 16 and 19 who do not attend the high school (they have not completed it) and there is 50% of young people between 18 and 24 years old who attend university.
F. In case (b) predict: How many crimes of violence will be reported if 20 dollars per capita per year are allocated to the police, 60% of people over 25 years old have finished high school and there are 5% of people 25 years or older who achieved a 4-year university career.
G. After doing all this analysis, draw practical conclusions about the findings made in this city.
H. If you are a counselor for the authorities in that city, please write a paragraph of recommendations to follow to try to reduce crime

The manufacturer of a new racecar engine claims that the proportion p1 p 1 of engine failures due to overheating for this new engine be less than the proportion p2 p 2 of engine failures due to overheating of the old engines. To test this statement, NASCAR took a random sample of 155 of the new racecar engines and 115 of the old engines. They found that 7 of the new racecar engines and 18 of the old engines failed due to overheating during the test. Does NASCAR have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim about the new racecar engine? Use a significance level of α=0.05 α = 0.05 for the test.

1) Your CEO has come to you and asked that you develop a NEW approach to pricing for your product for a specific new distribution outlet (he won’t tell you much, but it will reach a new target market: urban, mid to upper-income, multicultural, 20s-30s). What pricing strategy will you utilize and why?
2) How does this new pricing strategy fit with the Marketing Mix, Positioning, and Differentiation strategy for your company? What other creative new pricing methods might your brand consider to appeal to current customers and sell more product?

Waterways puts much emphasis on cash flow when it plans for
capital investments. The company chose its discount rate of 8%
based on the rate of return it must pay its owners and creditors.
Using that rate, Waterways then uses different methods to determine
the best decisions for making capital outlays.
This year Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to
replace the backhoes it now has. The new backhoes are faster, cost
less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort
features for the operators, and have 1-year maintenance agreements
to go with them. The old backhoes are working just fine, but they
do require considerable maintenance. The backhoe operators are very
familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new
skills to use the new backhoes.
The following information is available to use in deciding whether
to purchase the new backhoes.
| Old Backhoes | New Backhoes | |||
| Purchase cost when new | $90,000 | $204,187 | ||
| Salvage value now | $41,700 | |||
| Investment in major overhaul needed in next year | $54,964 | |||
| Salvage value in 8 years | $14,700 | $88,000 | ||
| Remaining life | 8 years | 8 years | ||
| Net cash flow generated each year | $30,200 | $43,100 |
(a) Evaluate in the following ways whether to
purchase the new equipment or overhaul the old equipment.
(Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the
cost of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage
value of the old machine to determine the initial cost of the
investment.)
(1) Using the net present value method for buying new or keeping
the old. (For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal
places as displayed in the factor table provided. If the net
present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the
number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). Round final answer to 0
decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
| New Backhoes | Old Backhoes | |||
| Net Present Value | $ | $ |
(2) Using the payback method for each choice. (Hint: For the old machine, evaluate the payback of an overhaul.) (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25)
| New Backhoes | Old Backhoes | |||
| Payback Period | years | years |
(3) Comparing the profitability index for each choice. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25)
| New Backhoes | Old Backhoes | |||
| Profitability Index |
| Calculate the internal rate of return factor for the new and old blackhoes. (Round answers to 5 decimal places, e.g. 5.27647.) |
| New Backhoes | Old Backhoes | |||
