Should We Eliminate the Special System of Juvenile Justice?
Is the juvenile court system a “scaled-down, second-class” criminal court? Or, are there real differences that call for a different way of seeking justice with youthful offenders? What would be the consequences of putting all juveniles on trial the same as adults, but allowing “young age” to be a mitigating factor in sentencing?
Put your arguments and comments about this topic on the discussion board (don’t act juvenile, give us some adult answers).

Case Study 1
Consolidated Computers
James Pruitt was ushered into the president’s office. Three months ago, he had been appointed manager of the first foreign plant of Consolidated Computers, Inc. He appeared to be the ideal person for this assignment, as a proven division manager of many talents. He was an innovator and very much interested in a foreign appointment. Now he was calling on his superior just before catching the plane for Riyadh.
“I wanted to talk to you,” the president began, “about some issues you will be facing when you reach Saudi Arabia. I guess you might call what I want to say a matter or my search for a business philosophy. We have not had to experience here the new issues that you will face, and we simply do not have a set of policies and procedures to cover such matters. Perhaps out of your experience we can move in that direction in case we later establish our operations in other countries.
“I am not concerned about your encountering new principles of management. They are universal, you have developed great skill in applying them to domestic operations, and I have no doubt about your skill in applying them in a foreign environment. You will soon discover, however, that managing is different abroad precisely because the cultural environment is so different.
“I think our best position is to realize that we are going into Saudi Arabia as a guest. We each need the other at this time, but there may come a time when their political forces will require us to give up ownership of our plant. It is up to you to develop the rapport with all interested parties which will most benefit our long-run interests.
“Since all your employees will be, or soon will be, Saudi, it is vital to learn as quickly as possible something about their culture. Perhaps your best move is to perfect your skill in the use of their language and really learn to think and act as a native. I am not sure anyone from the United States can do this. You and I were raised in the folds of Western Civilization, which has very different institutions, behavioral patterns from those you will encounter in the Near East.
For instance, does one adhere to the ethical principles of the Saudi or our own? Do they have the same trust and reliance on people that we do? Will they always react as we here are accustomed? Is social responsibility thought of in the same terms? What intentions and actions on your part can be well received by your suppliers, customers, competitors, and public figures? “You know, I suppose that what is really on my mind is that we don’t really know at what point there may be a conflict in our two cultures, and when that is discovered, what choice you will make.”
Questions:
1. If you were James Pruitt, how would you go about finding what the local business customs in Saudi Arabia are? What other environmental factors would you look for? How would you respond to them?
2. Suppose you found that it is customary not to lay off employees when work slackens. What would you do?
3. Suppose you found that it is normal business practice to give employees a small amount of money when they help your people to get something through a department or clear up some paperwork jams. Would you do the same thing? Why, or why not?
4. In the last paragraph, the president showed many worries about the difference in the two cultures and asked many questions. What would be your response?
What uncertainties does Starbucks face in its value chain?
Case Applications
Stirring Things Up
Summary
Starbucks understands the important role each participant in its value chain plays. Starbucks offers a selection of coffees from around the world. There are many potential challenges in “transforming” the raw material into thubte quality product and experience that customers expect at Starbucks. Weather, shipping and logistics, technology, political instability, could potentially impact what Starbucks is in business to do. Although those are significant operations management challenges, the most challenging issue facing Starbucks today is balancing its vision of the uniquely Starbucks’ coffee experience with the realities of selling a $4 latte.
Starbucks’ products have become an unaffordable luxury for many. As revenues and profits have fallen during the economic downturn, CEO Howard Schultz realized that “the company needed to change almost everything about how it operates.” The recession and growing competition forced Starbucks to become more streamlined.
At one of the first stores to implement the “lean” techniques , (a Japanese methodology designed by Saki-chi Toyoda), the store manager looked for ways for her employees to be more efficient with simple things like keeping items in the same place, moving drink toppings closer to where drinks are handed to customers, and altering the order of assembly. After two months under the new methods, her store experienced a 10 percent increase in transactions.
Discussion Questions
1. Starbucks’ uses a combination of production/operations technology in its retail stores. Would you describe this technology as unit, mass, or process? Explain your choice. How does its production/ operations technology approach affect the way products are produced?
2. What uncertainties does Starbucks face in its value chain? Can Starbucks manage those uncertainties? If so, how? If not, why not?
3. Go the company’s Web site, www.starbucks.com, and find the information on the company’s environmental activities from bean to cup. Select one of the steps in the chain.
Describe what environmental actions it is taking. How might these affect the way Starbucks “produces” its products?
4. Research the concept of lean manufacturing. What does it mean? What benefits does “lean” offer? How might a business-like Starbucks further utilize the concepts of being lean?
