In November of 2008 Dan Skovronsky, founder and CEO of the biotech start-up Avid Radiopharmaceuticals, had a very important decision to make regarding the future of his company. One option was for Dan to run the trials for both AV-45 and AV-133, commit to the Easton real estate space, take on $7.5 million venture debt, and start raising money. This option could potentially allow for the company to experience rapid growth and capture a competitive advantage in molecular imaging for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

In 2008, the economy in the United States took a severe downturn into a recession. Due to this recession, the management at Thompson Technology “implemented a companywide hiring freeze to curtail labor costs by 10 percent “ (Gusdorf, 2012, p. 1). The lengthy period of uncertainty, job realigning and numerous changes intensified the overall sense of uneasiness and frustration for the employees, which in turn lead, to employee disengagement. Now that some of the most difficult decisions have been made, Human Resources must address the problem of low morale. This particular issue threatens to cost the company in productivity and loss of human talent. In order for HR to address these issues, they will first need to assess the level of disengagement of the employees. Once the assessment is complete, they can begin strategizing ways to improve employee engagement and maintain productivity.
This scale, is directly related to communication. The results of this core scale suggest both Chris and Olympia feel as if their issues that they have, at times never get resolved. Further both strongly agree that they engage in very serious dispute over small or unimportant issues. Another dynamic that both Chris and Olympia scored high in was in the dynamic of partner dominance. Though Chris scored slightly higher than his wife Olympia, they both feel that their partner is trying to take control of or mange their life. This can be very contributory to the low PCA score in the scale of conflict resolution. Whenever the couple experiences a dispute if both are only interested in forcing their views on each other or they both interpret each other as controlling, they may become defensive and something small can escalate quickly. Similarly to communication, conflict resolution is a two person task in a marriage. Chris may need to be sensitive to his wife’s past of being abused and how it may effect her opening up.

The lack of communication between the parties involved is the main problem. New hires need to know what paperwork is required and when the paperwork is due. Monica Carrolls needs to know about any problems that surface that have to do with the current hiring process.

This course has been very helpful, especially the last questions on the Case Study Critique essay question. I struggled to answer this question because I never take the time to identify my biases. Every time I hear the word biased, the first thing that comes to mind is the negative biases; unfair treatment, prejudice, etc., and I am not the type of person who would treat someone unethically based on where they from etc., their sexual preferences, religion, etc. However, the feedback from the professor gave me a different perspective and I have realized that although I might not truly be unfair to a person, it would be uneasy assisting certain people. It would be very uncomfortable for me to assist, in cases such as child abuse physical or sexual
In today's society, we continually see an influx in immigrants on an annual basis. The majority of these immigrant students are subsequently placed in English as a Second Language (ESL) courses due to their low skill level in the English language.

This case study will describe why Apple Inc. is a very successful company and has become the second largest public company in the world. It all started in the 1980's when Apple started producing home computers. This helped those who were full-time students and workers by also producing a particular computer, the Macintosh computer. However, in 1985 Steve Jobs lost against the Apple board, and because of the unfortunate negative outcome of the meeting, Steve found a positive outlook from the situation. He then founded another PC company called NeXT while Apple took a turn for the worst. In 1996 Apple reconnected with Steve and bought his NeXT Company and gained the technology that would later help
