The Case of the Director Who Wore Too Many Hats

Question Description

The Case of the Director Who Wore Too Many Hats

Maria is one of 5 directors of Beta Investments Corporation. She is also a majority shareholder holding both common and preferred stock. Her stock with voting rights amounts to 47% of all stock issued with voting rights.

Maria buys, for $1,500, an option to purchase a tract of real estate called Blackacre, which is next to Beta’s home office, for $50,000. Maria forms a new corporation, Commercial Property, Inc., to hold the option. She then has Commercial Property buy Blackacre. As a director of Beta, Maria orders Beta to authorize its real estate agent to negotiate the purchase of the land from Commercial Property for $100,000. After a successful negotiation for the purchase of Blackacre for $100,000, Maria has Commercial Property sell it to Beta, and loan the money to Beta for the purchase price at a 5% interest rate which is 2% below the market rate. Lakesha, a minority shareholder in Beta, formally complains to Beta’s board which takes no action.

The Trial

Lakesha files a suit against Maria on Beta’s behalf seeking to cancel the sale. Maria asks the Court to dismiss the lawsuit as Lakesha has no standing to bring the lawsuit.

Arguments At Trial

Maria’s attorney argues that Blackacre is necessary for Beta as it will allow them to expand their offices and production plant thus increasing the net worth and potential profits to the shareholders. Further, the Board of Directors of Beta authorized the purchase which appeared to be in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation.

Lakesha’s attorney argues that the purchase of Blackacre should have been put to a vote of the shareholders of Beta as required by Beta’s Bylaws. Beta’s Board of Directors failed in its duty to make sure this sale was in the corporation’s best interest.

Questions to Decide

  1. What kind of suit will Lakesha file and what is its basis?
  2. Who are the Plaintiffs and who are the Defendants? Why?
  3. What are the defenses, if any, of Beta or Maria?
  4. Who will win the case and why?

Make sure that spelling and grammar is right. cite to the text at least once in the answers.

This weeks discussion board.

Question Description

Inventory management and aggregate planning serve an obvious need in production companies, but these concepts are also highly valuable for service businesses. Identify an existing service based business and describe the importance of inventory management or aggregate planning as it applies to that company.

– 200-300 words

– at least two references

This weeks study ————————————————-

Aggregate Planning and Master Scheduling

We will continue this week by looking at aggregate planning, which establishes general levels of employment, output, and inventories for periods of 2 to 12 months. In the spectrum of planning, it falls between the broad decisions of long-range planning and the very specific and detailed short-range planning decisions. It begins with an overall forecast for the planning horizon and ends with preparations for applying the plans to specific products and services.

The essence of aggregate planning is the aggregation of products or services into one “product” or “service.” This permits planners to consider overall levels of employment and inventories without having to become involved with specific details that are better left to short-range planning. Planners often use informal graphic and charting techniques to develop plans, although various mathematical techniques have been suggested.

Inventory Management

Inventory management is a core operations management activity. Good inventory management is often the mark of a well-run organization. Inventory levels must be planned carefully in order to balance the cost of holding inventory and the cost of providing reasonable levels of customer service. Successful inventory management requires a system to keep track of inventory transactions, accurate information about demand and lead times, realistic estimates of certain inventory-related costs, and a priority system for classifying the items in inventory and allocating control effort.

Objectives

By the end of this week, students will be able to:

  • Demonstrate and discuss how inventory, level employment, chase demand, and aggregate labor planning applies to a service business.
  • Define, recall, and identify terms and concepts associated with quality management, costs, quality management tools, quality teams, control charts, inventory systems, quality models, cycles, supply chain, aggregate planning, and manufacturing capacity.
  • Examine and interpret key elements of scheduling and inventory management.

You have just been hired by On the Court as the community relations director. On the Court is a sports apparel company that has contracts with high school athletic departments all over the country to provide logo items and team uniforms for a variety of sports.

Over the summer, there was a series of database errors. Many orders were deleted from the system with no tracking of having ever received orders. Remaining orders were altered in the colors and sizes of the uniforms. This means that many schools never received the uniform orders, and the schools that did receive uniforms had the wrong colors and sizes that did not fit their athletes. With the fall sports season ready to start, many athletic directors have been calling your office and complaining. Others have taken to social media to complain with photos of their teams in mismatched, ill-fitting apparel.

You have been asked to draft a letter to all of On the Court’s customers explaining the situation and what the company is doing to fix it and make amends.

Your letter should be clear, concise and assist in building trust between your company and its customers. It should appear as realistic as possible, and you should use the business letter template provided. You may make up appropriate facts, names and strategies for dealing with the situation.

2 page Organization Communication Task (CSU)

Question Description

Choose a new company
Instructions

For this assignment, you will research the different ways that managers and leaders use communication to guide their organizations.

Feel free to use the same organization you researched for the Unit VI Case Study. You are not limited to this organization, but it may be easier to complete the assignment since you have already researched the organization in Unit VI. You can use the same sources for both assignments, if applicable.

Find an instance where the organizational leader communicates directly with his or her employees, investors, or customers. Analyze the message, the channel, and the potential for feedback. Do you believe that it is effective? Do you believe that it is the same type of message that a manager would send? Why, or why not?

Remember to focus on the communication styles of both leaders and managers. Strive for an equal balance between the two types of communication styles in your assignment.

Example: The Apple events that occur in Cupertino whenever Apple unveils a new product or service are examples of the type of communication you should be analyzing in this assignment. During the events, CEO Tim Cook addresses an audience of employees, investors, and the general public. Cook uses multiple channels to communicate with the audience, including a live face-to-face discussion, live streaming of the discussion, and a recorded video. For the assignment, you would view one of the events, analyze Cook’s message and the effectiveness of the channels, and discuss the potential for feedback. Analyze whether or not the message is an effective example of leadership. Explain whether or not you believe a manager could, or should, use the same types of channels to relay a message. Would it be effective?

Note: You do not need to use Apple for this assignment. It is provided as an example only.

Use the standard five-paragraph format (introduction/body/conclusion). Include at least two academic sources. APA format should be used. The assignment should be a minimum of two pages in length, not including the title and reference pages. Content, organization, and grammar/mechanics will be evaluated.
