¶ … Management . There scenarios. Read scenarios carefully answer ability. Each scenario answered a maximum half page. I make 3 PAGES, excluding cover page.( YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MAKE COVER PAGE, I WILL DO IT) I attach assignment file. Scenario A

Members of staff would have to receive fewer bonuses in order for Robert to get funds for hiring. Robert has introduced nepotism in the firm, which might have devastating effects in the end. Nancy was offered a job, not because of her qualifications, but in order for her to remain in the United States. This is a poor decision since Robert is not sure if she can manage to perform her duties.

Patrick would continue to make such decisions since he is not been questioned or stopped.

Robert could have requested that Patrick negotiate for the prices to be reduced. Another alternative would have been to request a quote from Office Supply Co, and establish if they offered the same services as Sylvia's stationery.

I would have requested that Patrick find a way to save the company the money it is losing or negotiate with Sylvia and let her know that if she did not lower her prices the company would be forced to start purchasing from Office Supply Co.

Scenario C

There is no concern for employee welfare within the company. Robert does not respect contract law or the employment act. Robert is more interested in the tax breaks that the company would benefit from and not his employees. Michael could sue the company for wrongful termination.

The company would be eligible for the program, and this would assist the small…
