Identifying the Skeletons

You are a scientist specializing in investigating skeletal remains at the Earth Museum of Natural History. In today's mail you receive a package of bones from some archeologists who have been hunting for the last known location of a famous explorer, Gabriela Molina, age 54, and her two assistants, Cordelia Kelley, age 28, and Ian Dumais, age 24. Included in the package are six well-preserved arm and leg bones, each of which is labeled. There is one radius (R1) and one ulna (U1); these are the two bones that connect the wrist and elbow. There are two humerus bones (H1 and H2). The humerus connects the shoulder and the elbow. There are two femurs (F1 and F2). The femur is the large bone in the thigh which connects the hip to the knee.

The data chart, prepared by your assistant, indicates the length of each of these bones. These measurements can be used to estimate how tall the deceased individuals might have been. Based on ratios between bone lengths and body height, your assistant has calculated possible heights for the people whose bones you received. There is no evidence, however, to show whether the bones belonged to a man or a woman. Since the ratios of bone lengths to body height are different for men and women, the chart includes estimates for both genders. For example, H1 is 39.1 centimeters long, and so could have come from a man who was 186.2-194.2 centimeters tall, or a woman who was 183.2-191.2 centimeters tall. Dr. Molina was approximately five feet five inches tall. Her female associate, Dr. Kelley, was approximately four feet ten inches tall. Mr. Dumais was significantly taller, but your files do not list a specific height for him. (Remember to convert height to metric system units cm – centimeters)

e look at leadership from the manager’s perspective and explore the differences looking at leadership from a leader’s perspective.  Managers focus on process, procedure, and implementation of the organization’s purpose.  A manager's perspective is about getting the job done and keeping stability.  
In a recent virtual management meeting the Heads of the various marketing departments of Biotech met to discuss the recent decline in sales of food supplements since Nestle and General Mills entered the market.  In a meeting to get direction on how to fix the drop in sales, the question came up about who should handle the matter - the marketing managers or the owners.  One manager said, “A problem like this should have a solution from the top.”  Another manager responded, “I do not agree. We have dips in sales all the time and we go out and fix them using our own ideas and talent.”  “I agree, managers are leaders too” another voice said.  Maximillian Barney sat back in the Yonkers conference room away from the camera noting that the Americans wanted to move on their own, the Europeans held back but signaled agreement with the Americans.  The rest were quiet.  

Question.  Maximillian pondered, “How do I see my managers - are they leaders too?”
Looking back at week one theorists and our readings this week, how should Maximillian answer this question?
 
Learning Activity #2 - Theme 2
The manager must be able to solve problems, communicate, and lead teams toward the completion of a task.  
You are the manager of the HR department in New Mexico.  Headquarters has just sent you the new employee turnover figures for the various departments. For some reason the Quality Control Department is losing way more than the average number of lab techs.  Training new employees is costly to the company and the high turnover is costing money that could be better spent elsewhere.
Research uncovered the problem. Skilled lab techs were leaving to go to a company not far away that was paying more.  One employee, who has been with the company for five years, said she stayed with Biotech despite being approached by the company down the street because, “Although the new company paid more, Biotech offered better health care benefits.”  She had a sick son.  She indicates that she wished she could receive more flexible hours or work from home.  


Question. Using employee’s feedback or facts from the case scenario, and the weekly readings, what ideas should you consider offering to the Quality Control Manager to keep people from leaving and why?  Be sure to include in the explanation what motivates people and how your ideas are reflective of motivational theory.

Assume that an individual has the following relationship between income and utility.


Q1) Assume that an individual has the following relationship between income and utility.

Income   Utility

30,000 40

40,000 180

50,000 250

60,000 280

70,000 300

The individual has the income 70,000. With probability 0,5 an accident occurs and she has to pay 40,000. With probability 0,5 the accident does not occur and she keeps 70,000. She can also buy a full insurance. Assume that the price of the insurance is fair. Will the individual buy the insurance? Explain. Is it possible that she wants to pay more than the fair premium? If so, how much?
