There is, therefore, the realization that there is no one best leadership style to guide employees toward accomplishing organizational goals.

1. Analyze the leadership style(s) of a senior executive (CEO,CFO,COO,Director,etc.) in your current or previous organization who made a positive or negative impact on you

2. Analyze the organizational structure and culture of the company for which you work (or would like to work) to determine its approach to team development, and whether that approach helped to enhance your relationship skills in the workplace.

3. Evaluate the performance of your selected leader based on his or her ethical conduct and effective communication to determine if this leader was successful in motivation and empowering you to improve on your work performance. Explain your answer.

4.Determine three (3) best practice organizational leaders can use to motivate employees and discuss their potential benefits.

5. Discuss some of the challenges leaders encounter when managing diversity and how diversity helps business strategy to address the challenges and issues you have identified above.

HiFlyer Airline Case Study

HiFlyer Airline Case Study

 Evaluate the research in the HiFlyer Airline Case Study (Applications & Problems #4 p. 17). What are the pros and cons of doing the research?  Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.

Evaluate the research in the following example:The HiFlyer Airline company was interested in altering the interior layout of its aircraft to suit the tastes and needs of business travelers. Management was con- sidering reducing the number of seats and installing small tables to enable people to work during long flights. Prior to the renovation, management decided to do some research to ensure that these changes would suit the needs of the passengers. To keep expenses to a minimum, the following strategy was employed:

Questionnaires were completed by passengers during a flight. Because they were easy to administer and collect, the questionnaires were distributed only on the short flights (those less than one hour). The study was conducted during the 2nd and 3rd weeks of December, because that was when flights were full. To increase the response rate, each flight at- tendant was responsible for a certain number of questionnaires. The management thought this was a good time to acquire as much information as possi- ble, so the questionnaire included issues apart from the new seating arrangement. As a result, the ques- tionnaire took 20 minutes to complete. After the study, management decided that the study would not be repeated, because the information was insightful enough.

Applied managerial decision making

ou are in a brainstorming session at WidgeCorp, where no idea is too outrageous. You are discussing penetration in the school lunch market. Ideas around school lunch subsidies, Internet subsidies, and Internet target marketing are being discussed. As the end of the meeting, the group asks you to prove or disprove some assumptions by looking at correlations.

First, acquaint yourself with the Internet subsidy issue by reading the article Closing the Digital Divide: Internet Subsidies in Public Schools by Austan D. Goolsbee and Jonathan Guryan.

Next, download the file Sample Data. Based on the findings as reported in this article, prepare a chart similar to the one in the downloaded file to indicate if the correlation between Variables A and B were found to be positive, negative, or minimal.

In your own words, explain what it means if the correlation of 2 variables is positive, negative, or minimal (close to 0), and give an example of each.
