The New BossSynopsisSam Nolan was chief information officer at Century Medical, a large medical products company. He had joined the company four years ago, and Century had made great progress integrating technology into its systems and processes. Nolan had developed trust with people throughout the company and showed them how technology could not only save money, but also support team-based work, encourage information sharing, and give people more control over their own jobs. A new boss, Tom Carr, arrived at Century and considered Nolan’s project, a Web-based job posting program, a waste of time and money. Carr had no understanding of why and how technology was being used. The vibrant and innovative human resources department Nolan’s team had imagined now seemed like nothing more than a pipe dream.Questions:Describe the two different mental models represented in this story.What are some of the assumptions that shape the mindset of Sam Nolan? Of Tom Carr?Do you think it is possible for Carr to shift to a new mental model? If you were Sam Nolan, what would you do?“What Should I Say?”SynopsisThe sudden heart attack of his predecessor, Bill Andrews, propelled Russell Hart into a temporary top management assignment for Kresk International in the company’s new Middle East Division in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. After six months, Russell went to Dallas to report at the semiannual board meeting. The board would determine if he or Bill Andrews would have the permanent assignment at the end of the year. Russell enjoyed the company’s top assignment and hoped to impress management at the meeting so that he would be named director of the Middle East Division. In Dallas, Russell has an impromptu chat with his assistant Christopher Dunn where he describes in depth the atrocious behavior of a colleague, Youssef Said. Russell has observed how Said’s behavior has made a few employees resign. He also mentions how Said loves to humiliate employees and how his total disregard for the opinion of others appalls Russell. Russell adds that Said has an inner circle or “family” whom he favors. He always seems to work deals and bend rules. Russell feels Youssef Said’s methods may not be in the best interest of the company. He wants the board to notice this and asks Christopher for advice because the board, at this point of time, seems to be impressed by Youssef Said.Questions:What do you think Russell Hart should include in his report about Youssef Said? Why? What would you do in his position?What amount or kind of courage will be required for Hart to disclose everything honestly? How would you advise Hart to acquire that courage?At which stage of Kohlberg’s moral development scale would you place Youssef Said, Russell Hart, and Bill Andrews?

Write an essay (350-400 words) in which you analyze tenor in an extract from the TV program Rough Science, in which the presenters test a radio transmitter they have made.Based on your understanding of the main function of each turn in the conversation in terms of command, offer, question and statement, discuss how this conversation analyzes and explains the relationships between the interactants. Think about the distribution of turns, the function of turns, and the lexicogrammatical realizations.Your answer must be full, focused and well-illustrated. Use your own languages.JONATHAN HAREThe rule of s– radio engineers is always have the one hand in one pocket ... and just use one hand.KATE HUMBLEReally?JHReally yeah 'cos if you're holding the chassis of things and you get electrocuted, it'd be bad.KATHY SYKESOkay and the thing is, this huge voltage right ... we're expecting a little spark to happen inside there.JHYeah basically when the current goes through, it produces a magnet ... which attracts this ... and then turns it off ... and so initially all that energy that's stored in there then produces the spark, it breaks down the air.KHBecause ... electricity can’t usually go through air, can it?KSNo it's just like a little tiny lightning bolt, okay?JHBreaks down the air ...KSSo it's a little baby lightning strike.JHYeah, not a big one ...JHYeah, not a big one ...KHThat's incredible.JHIt's only going to be a little bit, but it shows you how much voltage there is.KHOkay, am I allowed to swap between you so I can see it?KSSure.KHOkay well let's hope it ...KSAll right, are you ready to go? Hand in pocket like Jonathan says, here we go ... Oh wow!JHYou can see the sparks.KHBright blue!JHYeah it's lovely.KSHey ... hey hey hey I want to see now.KHSo is it almost like when there is a storm going on, and you're watching TV or you have a radio on, and you get ... it's like an interference or something, is that basically how this is working?JHYeah, I mean this is actually producing radio waves but we don't call it interference this time, because it's actually a noise we want, but it's radio waves, that interference is actually radio waves that you don't want, so you call it interference.KSAnd you're absolutely right, that's what happens when lightning strikes.
