The CEO of Fullbrix Dana Alcar (a 20-year veteran of Supply chain business frameworks) has given all powers to the running of the company to five Senior Vice-Presidents. Fullbrix is a Satellite spare parts provider that has four key clients. The company employs 200 employees and has a management team of 27. With five Senior Vice-Presidents running the company and running it well, the Board of Directors have begun an investigation on what the CEO is doing with her time. Initial investigations found that the CEO was building a broader base to support an alternative structure than the four key clients the company serves. The alternative would be 14 other companies that provide the same revenue as the present 4 companies. The 10-member Board of Directors are 50/50 split on their decision. One group wants to fire the present CEO and replace her with one of the Senior Vice Presidents and the other wants to keep things as they are.

20. Using terms discussed in class, can Dana Alcar’s leadership qualities help her to succeed in the long run?

21. Using terms discussed in class, how do you think it would be possible to convince the 5 Board Members to stop their petition to remove the CEO?

22. What can Dana Alcar do to create a convincing case to the Board of Directors to keep her on?

Juan, a17-year-old Hispanic youth, was referred to the school psychologist at the end of the first school term because of apparent academic and emotional concerns. His grades were slipping, and it looked like he might not get any credits his first term. The counselor has also explained that Juan was the driver in a fatal car wreck at the end of the previous academic year, in which his bestfriend was killed. Although Juan was hospitalized, the counselo rsaid that he insisted on going to the funeral, even though he could barely move, having suffered several broken ribs. When the psychologist met with Juan, he was initially reluctant to discuss the accident but as rapport was established, he admitted to feeling helpless, feeling fatigued because of lack of sleep, and having problems concentrating on his schoolwork. He wanted to quit school, because he did not want to be in the same class with students who blamed him for his friend’s death, and furthermore he did not see why he should plan for a future. He admitted to having vivid dreams of his friend, seeing him as if he were alive. Often he would wakeup, startled.He had no recollection of how the accident happened, as he could not remember the details, even though a witness had said that another car was involved. Although he has a girlfriend, Juan rarely feels like doing anything, and in the past few month she has preferred to be alone. Although he was very close to his deceased friend’s family(theywereinseparable), he has not seen them since the funeral. In this case, Juan is faced with the aftermath of a traumatic experience in which he was seriously injured and his friend was killed. He feels helpless because of the accidental nature of the wreck. Undoubtedly, Juan has significant survivor guilt. Faced with traumatic events of this nature, individuals react with fear, horror, or helplessness. In younger children, these feelings are often expressed in disorganized anda gitated behaviors.

Detroit Symetrix conducted several tests in Group decision making. In one scenario they conducted a video and then used question and answer data to facilitate decision making by identifying the problems and generating a score for the solutions. Some groups helped in preventing the discussion being dominated by a single person and hence, allow the silent members, who are quite shy, to speak out their ideas in the group. The objective to bring up key issues in the presence of senior management and even the CEO cabinet remained but received much opposition, argument and even denial of evidences placed forth. Conflicts among the group members by enabling everyone to pen down his/her thoughts about the problem and later discuss it with the entire group did reach to the consensus solution. One of the main advantages of junior level staff and middle managers to provide an equal opportunity to speak out their minds and write down their ideas and discuss with the group members.

Write a C++ program using the IPC. Declare two variables a=5 and b=6 in writer process. Now their product (a*b) will be communicated to the reader process along with your name. The reader process will now calculate the square root of the number and display it along with your name.

2) Draw a line between each of the IA32 assembler routines on the left and its equivalent C function on the right. (If there is no matching C function, do not draw a line.):

OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

Design two grid based games or two block based games in c++

In some cases, the bulk of the project lies in producing a nice user interface, probably using the FLTK graphical library, while the algorithmic content is quite simple. In other cases, the bulk of the work is in devising and implementing the algorithms. Some projects are more difficult than others, but a good policy is to choose one which allows extensibility if you have more time, or a suitable half-way stopping point if it proves to be difficult.

1. Grid based games, ranging from the simple such as Noughts and Crosses through more complex games such as Minesweeper and Battleships. See Levy Computer Gamesmanship pp. 30-39
2. Block based games, such as Snake or Tetris.
3. You can design hangman, pong , tic tac toe

Tool: Dev++, Visual Studio or any of your choice.
