    1) One of Fayol’s 14 principles that are evident in this case is Discipline. The reason being is because to have discipline, there needs to be obedience and respect which as a result, will help an organization run smoothly. An example of this is when Ross was told that he to be a respected and good manager in his former business. Another principle would be remuneration. The reason being is because remuneration is when employees are paid fairly in accordance with their contribution and in this article, it not only displays that the employees were paid well but they were like a family because even when the company was shut down, they still found a way to work together and along with saving their retirement funds as well. Another principle that is shown here is equity. The reason being is because equity is a fairness that results from a combination of kindness and justice that will lead to devotion and a loyal service. The employees were clearly devoted here because after their company was shut down, they were still finishing up all of their unfinished projects together. Another principle that was also demonstrated here was unity of direction. The reason being is because unity of direction is when the efforts of everyone in the organization should be coordinated and focused in the same direction. This is shown here when Rich Auth and the Burger employees continued their business and Ross worked with Auth who determined their goals and wanted what was best for the company and its employees.…

    The preceding data indicate suggest a common misconception regarding the quality level assumed under Six Sigma. Only when a defect is defined as any deviation from the targeted level of the attribute (i.e., only when the “tolerance” is zero) will the above approach represent the maximum number of defects per million opportunities for error. Note, for example, that the expected number of errors (defects) under Six Sigma is approximately 2 per billion (when any deviation from target is considered a defect).…

    According to the power base inventory these are the results in percentages. I score 50% in Information, Expertise, and Authority. One of the sections I was a little surprised because I do believe in reward but do not use it as an incentive to get people to like me, the score was 40% and 10% for goodwill. When I find out the score for Discipline it made me feel good and somewhat comfort. The score was 90% which according to the power base inventory discipline might involved criticizing undesirable behaviors, penalizing team members for rule violations, or firing team members whose performance in unacceptable (pg.18).…
