Assignment 3: Managing a Compliant and Diverse Workplace

Due Week 8 and worth 190 points

Recall from Assignment 1(Assignment 1 is attach) the company had a
few HR-related lawsuits that were not in the company’s favor. To be more
specific, claims of harassment, not reasonably accommodating
disabilities and work-life balance concerns were all issues brought by
employees forcing the company to answer to, and defend itself. As the
new CHRO you want to enact stronger policies and guidelines to avoid
these types of situations in the future.

Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:

1. Briefly note how harassment in the workplace affects equal
   employment opportunity and describe at least 4 elements a plaintiff must
   show to go forward with a harassment claim. How might an organization
   avoid these elements from occurring? HINT:

2. Explain your overall understanding on reasonable accommodation of
   disability (consider reviewing ADA rules). Then, discuss a minimum of 3
   things a plaintiff filing a failure to accommodate claim must show that
   helps to prove they are qualified for the job in question.
3. Make a connection between religious advocacy/harassment and bona
   fide occupational qualification. Can churches promoting a certain
   religion refuse to hire those who have a different religion? If so or if
   not, why?
4. Discuss your overall understanding of FMLA and the pregnancy
   discrimination act as it relates to organizations granting leave for
   each. Then, identify 2-3 common FMLA mistakes managers make and what you
   would do to avoid the mistakes. HINT: http://www.kansastag.gov/AdvHTML_Upload/files/FMLA-5-Slip-Ups-White-Paper.pdf

week 4 stock journal final
1. Record the current price of the stock for each company you selected in Week 3’s Stock Journal. You may use any price during this week (e.g., day one price, the opening, the low, the high, the close, or any price you find when you check it during the day). Using a MS Excel spreadsheet or MS Word document, put your Week 8 and Week 10 stock prices side-by-side, to show the comparison.
2. Determine the total value of your investment.
3. Provide your final opinion / assessment of your investments. Did you make money or lose money? Discuss your results and, based on hindsight, describe what you would do differently.
4. Discuss what you learned from this assignment. Do you believe this assignment will help you in the future in anyway?

Indicate the companies you are investing in: Select three (3) US companies that are publicly traded. Please use your knowledge and experience and pick, as many stocks as you’d like. Lastly, make sure you are practicing good diversification. Jim Cramer, Money Manager, on CNBC, plays a game at the end of his show called “Am I Diversified.” Check out a short clip to get a sense of industry diversification at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3lDxexupcE.

The selected companies are:

Walmart

Best Buy

Target

Indicate the amount you are investing in each company: Decide how you will divide the $25,000 across the three (3) companies; e.g. $10,000 in Company 1, $10,000 in Company 2, and $5,000 in Company 3. You decide the amount you are investing in each company. You do not have to provide any analysis to justify your decisions. You must only provide some reason for picking that company. For example, you might invest in Ford because that company gets a lot of your money and you hear that Ford is doing well, and will continue to do well.

Walmart: $11,000 – Almost weekly I visit Walmart for shopping.

Best Buy: $6,000 – They have quality products with a great return policy.

Target: $8,000 – I like to go to Target for their clothing, purses and shoes.

Indicate the number of shares you are buying, and the price of the shares you are buying for each company: Once you decide the companies and the amount for each company, determine how many shares you can buy. If Company 1 is selling for $42.16, then you may buy $10,000/ $42.16, or 237.19 shares. But you cannot buy a part of a share, so you decide to buy either 237 or 238. In this example you buy 237 shares, at $42.16 per share, investing $9,991.92. You won’t be able to buy exactly $10,000, or $5,000, or $25,000, but it will be relatively close.

Walmart: The current price of Walmart Share is 73.55. It means that we can buy 11000/73.55 = 149.56, i.e. 150 shares. The price is: 11032.5

Best Buy: 32.14 a share. Buying 187 shares at 6010.18

Target: 74.92 a share. Buying 107 shares for a total of 8016.44

The impact of transportation disruptions on supply

chain performance

Received 6 January 2004; received in revised form 14 July 2005; accepted 23 September 2005

1. Introduction

The vulnerability of supply chains has undoubtedly received more attention since the attacks on the World

Trade Centers on September 11, 2001, even though supply chains have always been faced with assessing their

vulnerabilities and managing risk. Risks faced by supply chains are quite diverse, arising from sources both

within and external to the supply chain. These include disruptions, delays, information and networking, forecasting,

intellectual property, procurement, customers, inventory, and capacity (Chopra and Sodhi, 2004).

Supply chain disruptions are costly (Hendricks and Singhal, 2005), and we need to understand how a disruption

affects a supply chain in order to develop appropriate strategies for ameliorating the impact. A disruption

is defined as an event that interrupts the material flows in the supply chain, resulting in an abrupt cessation

of the movement of goods. It can be caused by a natural disaster, labor dispute, dependence on a single supplier,

supplier bankruptcy, terrorism, war, and political instability. There are many examples of disruptions resulting

from these types of events. The Kobe earthquake in 1994 left many companies without parts (Yoshiko, 1995);

the northeastern US blackouts in August 2003 adversely affected many businesses (Brooks and Vogel, 2003);

Read this article (See attachment) on the impact of transportation disruptions in a supply chain, and then answer each of the following questions. Cite your resources using APA format. (3-4 pages)

1. How does transportation add value in a supply chain?

2. What are the potential disruptions in transportation?

3. How do the disruptions impact the performance of a supply chain?

4. What are the ways to minimize transportation disruptions?
