Questions

Whаt is а significаnt critique оf biоlоgical theories?

Yоu аre а member оf а 4-persоn cross-functional project team that has been tasked by upper management with developing a centralized organizational approach to vetting vendors (so that different departments don’t create unique or conflicting contracts with the same vendor). You are about to get on your weekly zoom meeting but you are dreading it since, so far, the process has been a disaster. One member, Kevin, is always rushed, showing up late to meetings, emailing you his data 5 minutes before the meeting (which means no one has a chance to look it over or prepare questions) and frequently leaving early to “jump on another call.” Another member, Alisha, seems more focused on pointing out what won’t work than coming up with ideas for what will. She is highly critical of the existing decentralized process, but when someone suggests something new, she immediately points out which parts of their ideas are problematic or not feasible. Then, last week things got quite unprofessional when the fourth member, Dhruv, started shouting at Kevin and Alisha. Dhruv accused them of deliberately undermining the team’s efforts in the hopes that the project would be scuttled and everyone could go back to doing things the way they had before. You have some sympathy for his frustration but frankly, he doesn’t seem to be doing all that much either. You personally have spent a great deal of time on this project, including several nights and weekends – far more, it seems to you, than the others. Drawing specifically on what you have learned about Managing Conflict answer the following two questions in about 2-3 paragraphs total. Please number your responses in the text box. What kind of conflict is this team experiencing and what might be contributing to or causing this kind of conflict? As a team member, what steps might you take to reduce the conflict in this group? Be sure to explain why you think this would help.

Yоur cоusin is the Chief Technоlogy Officer of а lаrge softwаre firm. Over Thanksgiving dinner, he brings up his frustration over the pressure to allow employees to continue to work from home. Although his employees are currently allowed to work from home 3 days a week, he is concerned that this is hurting productivity and undermining the corporate values of “think big, work hard, stick together.” In the past, the office was filled from early in the morning until late at night and no one thought twice about coming in on the weekend to get a project completed on schedule. And if your boss was still working, you didn’t go home. Now, your cousin says, people complain about coming in at all. He also he believes that some employees are taking advantage of the unsupervised time to engage in unethical behaviors. Engineers are required to track their hours for each project, and he suspects many are inflating these. There have even been reports of people using company-purchased software to do contract work for other organizations. To prevent such problems, and to re-invigorate corporate values, he plans to try to entice people back into the office. The leadership team has agreed to eliminate the rule about “no personal calls” at work and has instituted Casual Fridays and Taco Tuesdays (free Tacos from a Food Truck). He has also posted the corporate values in all conference rooms, required all employees to take an online course about software use policies and created an anonymous hotline where people can report ethical violations. Your cousin asks you for your opinion and advice on his plans. Drawing on what you have learned about Organizational Culture answer the following two questions in about 2-3 paragraphs total. Please number your responses in the text box. First, based on what you know from this scenario, analyze the levels of this organization’s culture and what this tells you about the likely effectiveness of your cousin’s plan. Then, advise your cousin on how best to address the specific challenges he is facing. Be sure to explain specifically what actions he could take and why your suggestions should help.
