Question

Your Store Manager has had a stressful month. It is the end of the financial year and sales revenue in the Timber and Plumbing & Electrical departmentsis down on targets, almost certainly due to increased competition from smaller competitors for trade contractors’ business.

Just this week, the Store Manager held a meeting in which she yelled at all thedepartment managers and told you and them to work out a way to improve revenue. Obviously, the outburst did not make much sense as the department managers, in such a large business, do not have the capability to raise much revenue directly. Marketing and distribution innovations that could have an effect are mainly a head office responsibility. The Woollongong store’s inability to counter the threat from smaller, more nimble trade suppliers has been the main reason for the revenue deficit.

Naturally, the atmosphere around the store and in the management team is subdued and a few managers have discussed leaving the organisation; other managers have responded by pushing unreasonable sales demands onto their sales staff.

You are now feeling pressure to do something: to act contrary to budget planning and cut costs or to increase pressure on others to offset poor performance in other areas.

In your opinion, this leadership behaviour was disrespectful to all the managers, created unnecessary concern about job security and undermined trust. There has been a clearly negative flow-on effect down through the store, which is now affecting people at a lower level. You are justifiably angry at the manager’s behaviour and blame her for making a bad situation worse with poor leadership and poor emotional awareness.

In your written response to the above scenario:

●     Describe what you think is the best way to respond to the Store Manager’s behaviour. Describe how you would model positive leadership behaviour.

●     Describe the principles of emotional intelligence that the Store Manager did not demonstrate.

●     Describe how the Store Manager should have acted and communicated.

●     Describe the connection between the Store Manager’s behaviour and store morale. Describe what effect the Store Manager’s behaviour could have on store performance.

Create a 2 page essay paper that discusses What is Copyright, Fair Use, Public Domain.

In the culture of music, copyright has the intention of promoting the creation of new works, since authors and pioneers are given full control of and benefit from them. Copyrights are territorial thus implying they cannot go beyond a specific state/nation unless that nation has entered into an international agreement. It is imperative to note that personally, as a copyright holder, I have to cater for the copyright enforcement. In this regard, the holders are required to look for legal representation, administrative and in some cases court costs. These costs which in most cases also involve time should be put into consideration when the evaluation of benefits of enforcing copyrights. Additionally, disputes regarding copyright are handled by an approach that is directed to the infringing party so that the matter is settled out of court.

Fair use is a limitation as well as exception to the exclusive right that is granted to the author of any creative work by copyright law. The copyright law of the United States advocates that fair use is a doctrine that allows limited use of copyrighted work without necessarily getting permission from the holders of rights. Fair use includes commentary, criticism, teaching, research, news reporting, scholarship and archiving. Fair use provides for the legal, unlicensed citation or incorporating copyrighted material in a different work of another author and are evaluated according to four underlying factors. a) The purpose, nature and the intention of the use, b) The nature of the copyrighted work, c) The nature and the substantiality of the material used, and, d) the effect of use on the potential market for or value of the work. Fair use positively affects music culture since it promotes a level playing ground for all players in the music industry, and all players, whether rich or poor are protected by this law. Personally, the law of fair use will protect me as

Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.

On January 16, 1917, in a clear attempt to convince the Mexican government to help Germany in the war, Arthur Zimmermann, the German foreign secretary, sent a telegram to Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador in Washington. The foreign secretary wanted to be certain that this message reached von Bernstorff, so he made arrangements for it to be carried aboard a U-boat to Sweden and from there to Washington through diplomatic channels.

As luck would have it, the departure of the sub was delayed. Impatient, Zimmermann turned to his second option: sending the message to his ambassador through the U.S. State Department. Although Wilson considered the United States to be neutral, he allowed messages to be sent to von Bernstorff via the State Department as a courtesy. The telegram sent, Zimmermann waited for a reply. What Zimmermann didn’t know was that the British were doing a thorough job of intercepting German wireless transmissions.

Q) Why did Zimmermann choose to send the message through the U.S. State Department?

?

1. The German U-boat was grounded because it needed repairs.

2. The Americans planned to enter the war and side with the Germans.

3. The content of the message was extraordinarily important.

4. The safest way of transmitting messages was by telegram.
