The main issue in this dispute is does the FAA apply to the employment agreement that Adam signed upon hire? The rule is that FAA governs in this case. Arbitration agreements should be a part of contracts and should be enforceable according to FAA. Since Adam signed a contract with Circuit City that contained an arbitration clause, the analysis is that the FAA states that a signed contract containing an arbitration clause is valid and enforceable. The conclusion of this case is that the FAA does apply to employers as well as employees. For Employers the benefit is privacy and for the employee the benefit is cost.…
In order reduce healthcare costs; a Fortune 500 company opted to implement a self insured health program. This program is basically a high deductible insurance ($50,000 to $75,000) program which the company would pay the deductible, before transferring responsibility to a 3rd party insurer. The company contracted with Aetna for this program. Subsequent to this contract, a Sr. Vice President of Aetna was appointed to the board of directors of the Fortune 500 company. He was also appointed to the Audit committee which is a subset of the board of directors. Responsibilities of this financial auditing committee include review of the financial integrity of company’s accounting and review of its health insurance programs. SEC rules and regulations require each publicly traded company to have independent members on their board of directors and committees. SEC also requires publicly traded companies to have their audit committee’s filled with independent directors. Per the letter of the law, this clearly was not the case.…
This week in class our learning team took a look at how managers often mismanage layoffs. We took a look at what the problem at hand was, why it was a problem, and what some possible solutions could be. We identified that the problem presented in this article is often times managers mismanage the process of laying off staff. Whether it be from a lack of training or not knowing how to deal with people and their different reactions, managers do not always consider the layoff process in its entirety. If not handled well, this process can traumatize the staff that is losing their job as well as the remaining staff. It is important that employers consider the affected employee, the remaining staff, and alternatives to layoffs before the process occurs.…

For many, being laid off is something that will be unexpected and shocking. Unless you work in a seasonal industry where layoffs occur with annual regularity, a layoff is akin to having the wind knocked out of you. You become a powerless pawn in a company’s efforts to cut costs. And while it’s never about a single employee, it doesn’t make it feel any less personal.…
Mr. Maloney was pleased with the cost savings and added: “We had a very high number of pages we needed to process.

Yahoo Case Executive Summary This case study analysis is on Yahoo! (referred to also as “Yahoo”). Yahoo (Nasdaq: YHOO) is a global internet services company that operates the Yahoo! Internet portal. It provides varied products and content, from email and search to media streaming and downloads. As of February 2010, it is the third-most popular Internet site in the United States in terms of monthly traffic, with visits by more than 120 million unique users every month (Yahoo. Wikinvest). The Case Study includes an Introduction, Company Overview, Company Mandate, Internal Analysis and External Analysis. Critical Findings: The key to revenue growth is via an increase in the monetization of search, and additional fees generated from quality, premium services (retail sales, personal ads, ads for selling or renting merchandise, data storage, photo sharing and various e-commerce services). Yahoo must develop new content and services. With more competitive pricing for advertising combined with the formidable market dominance of Google, Yahoo must do a number of things to enhance its revenues, including vastly improving its search engine technology, its searchbased advertising, beefing up its Internet video-advertising capabilities, pursuing further global expansion (especially into Asian markets), and improving its cross-channel advertising program. Introduction This report is on Yahoo, and considers the Company’s Overview and its Mandate. A thorough External and Internal Analysis is also carried out. The limitations of this report are a result of the fact that the report relies primarily on the information and facts as presented in “Yahoo” as prepared by Gareth R. Jones in 2007, and to a lesser extent, the fact and information presented in “Internet Search and the Rise of Google”, as prepared by Charles W.L. Hill. External references that were used include the Yahoo 2009 Annual Report, and the Yahoo Company profile from Wikinvest.…
