The customers were pleased with the analytical capabilities of the R&D staff at Kent Corporation. Theoretical and experimental results were usually within 95 percent agreement.

- Sample Question and Answer: Question: James was elderly, disabled, and afflicted with very bad arthritis. One day, his 20 year-old neighbor pulled James’s chair out from under James. The girl said she didn’t mean to hurt him. James was not amused and sued the girl for damages. Will James likely be successful? Yes_____ No_____ Reason [Please state the rule(s) of law and your analysis] Answer: James would likely win for the tort of battery which is the intentional harmful or offensive touching of another (the “rule of law”).

- Title Applying TQM in Manufacturing versus Administration One large company that has been successful in... Description Applying TQM in Manufacturing versus Administration One large company that has been successful in applying Total Quality Management (TQM) principles in manufacturing reports that it has had less success in applying the same techniques in improving administrative functions such as order taking, distribution, and human resources. This company (which has won several quality awards and has significantly improved its product quality) used state-of-theart TQM methods to train all of its employees in how to apply TQM. However, the company has not been able to achieve the same cost reductions and service quality enhancements in administrative areas as it has in the manufacturing area. Assuming that this phenomenon extends to other companies, why do you think that TQM works better in manufacturing than in nonmanufacturing/ service areas?arrow_forwardYou are a product manager for the EPA and you are concerned about the risks posed by Bug Bomb products.
