James Doe interviewed for a position with the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA). He interviewed at their offices and during a break in the interview process, he was introduced to and briefly talked with the person who, if he was hired, would be his supervisor, Jane Smith. The HR Manager overseeing the hiring process brought Doe to her office in the building and then left the room to check on the person who would be conducting the next formal interview. Before they left, Smith was introduced to Doe by the HR Manager who stated that it would be a good idea to meet during this break since Doe would be working for Smith, if he was hired. As they talked, Smith indicated that she thought Doe would be a good fit in her department and offered Doe a salary of $79,500 to take the job. Smith told him that it was a good salary and he should take it without negotiating because her feelings would be hurt and she might take any negotiating into account when determining his yearly raises in the future. She said in a joking tone, but Doe believed that she meant what she said. When the HR Manager came back to get Doe, Jane told the manager in front of Doe that it would be a good fit and to get Doe hired as soon as possible because they already talked about the job. The HR Manager nodded her head in a noncommittal manner and takes James to the next part of the interview. James was offered a position at the end of the interview process and immediately accepted the offer. Because of his earlier talk with Smith and the HR Manager’s response to Jane’s statement to her, Doe did not discuss the salary when the offer was made and he accepted it. Doe was merely told to return the following day to fill out the paperwork by the HR Manager as he left. Under CTA’s policies and procedures, only the Placement Department could actually give final salary offers. When Placement’s figure for James?s salary was computed, it was lower ($60,000), and this was the amount James was actually offered when he returned the next day to fill out the paperwork. James sued to receive the higher salary offered by Smith. CTA claims that Smith had no authority to offer a particular salary and that it is not bound by her offer. a. Discuss the legal issues under these facts from both CTA’s and Doe’s perspectives. (In doing so, please be sure to address what authority is and why it matters in this situation. What do you think each party will say about Smith?s actions?)

Successful Management Requires International Experience As companies become more global, economic patterns and business practices in one area of the world can determine the success of a company on the other side of the world. At Procter & Gamble (P&G), being a successful global leader requires an international background. A majority of P&G’s 140,000 employees work outside the United States. P&G uses international assignments for employees to learn how business is conducted in another country so that lessons learned there can be applied at home or in another region. Only a quarter of employee relocations originate in the United States; the majority are from place to place across the world outside the United States.An important goal of employees who receive international assignments is to develop local talent to replace themselves. For example, a manager who is being prepared to take over a top finance position in Russia might go to Britain to gain experience working in a more structured and complex market. P&G managers in Europe must learn to keep the company’s products on big-box store shelves such as Carrefour, the European supermarket and discount chain and one of the largest retailers in the world. P&G might send junior U.S. managers to work with European managers who are responsible for products at Carrefour, expecting that they will transfer skills learned in these assignments to dealing with product placement in big-box retailers such as Walmart and Costco.P&G also partners with UNICEF to offer P&G employees in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa the opportunity to take a 3-month sabbatical to work with UNICEF. The program is aimed at employees who have always wanted to undertake humanitarian work but have not had the chance before. UNICEF benefits from the diverse backgrounds of P&G employees as they apply communications, promotion, leadership training, and supply chain management skills.What steps should P&G take to prepare employees for international assignments to help them succeed? Use specific examples in your response.Should P&G also include spouses and family members in preparation for international assignments? Include in your response yes or no and why or why not.

However, when she showed increasing tolerance and began insisting on higher doses of the medication, the physician told her that she may need surgery and that he could not prescribe more oxycodone for her. She is now seeking medical care at the Family Practice Clinic. Her knees started to get significantly more painful after she gained 20 pounds during the past nine months.
