CHEMISTRY IS DUMB

Explanation:

TIME FOr THE Ax? The Situation You are the sales manager for a well-established medical equipment company. You’ve been with the company a long time and, generally, you really enjoy your job. The company’s new president is interested in proving herself and has set a goal of 10 percent sales growth per year. Each sales representative has a quota that they are expected to meet. Those who exceed their quota will receive a bonus, and those who fall short of their quota will be fired or placed on probation.

The Dilemma

Your sales staff have worked really hard over the past year

to meet their new quotas. Six of the eight representatives met

their quotas and received bonuses. However, two others have

fallen below. Jane fell 2 percent short of her quota and you’re not surprised. She’s not hard working and often leaves work early to

play golf. Bill, on the other hand, has been with the company a

long time and is widely respected for his work ethic. However,

he’s struggling to care for his sick mother and fell 7 percent

below his quota. You know that control is an important part of

being a manager, but you’re unsure what to do. The company

president has asked to meet with you tomorrow to discuss the

situation.

QUESTIONS TO ADDRESS

5-21. Which management functions are involved in setting

goals and measuring performance?

5-22. What are the ethical issues in this situation?

5-23. What do you think most managers would do in this

situation?

5-24. What would you do?

1. the question asks the most appropriate, which seems to rule out "all of the above." your choice appears to be the correct one.

2. the protocol described is good for identifying correlation, but not cause and effect. for cause/effect, you need to devise a protocol that will assign the treatment (or not) to groups that have essentially the same "demographics" with respect to all the other variables. your choice regarding control group seems appropriate. random assignment of treatment (choice d) may be appropriate also. (i think you can argue that b and d are just different descriptions of the same method.)

3. d will randomize the birds, but may not guarantee there are 10 in each group. e will do both, so seems the better choice.

comment on question 2

based on the problem statement, it seems clear that confident, attentive drivers are more likely to use daytime running lights. so, the protocol might need to be devised in such a way that the lights would be turned on or off without the driver's knowledge. (an attentive driver will figure it out.) assigning a confident, attentive driver to a group required to drive without running lights might mess with his/her confidence and attentiveness. you don't want your experiment to do that. (nor do you want the experiment to subject a driver to greater risk of accident as a consequence of driving without running lights.) experiments involving human safety are always problematic.
