- As a new systems analyst at Premier Financial Services, you are getting quite an education. You report to Mary, the IT manager, who also chairs the systems review committee. Several months ago, the committee rejected a request from Jack, the finance director, for an expensive new accounts payable system, because the benefits did not appear to outweigh the costs. Yesterday, Mary’s boss called her in and asked her to reconsider Jack’s request, and to persuade the other members to approve it. Mary wanted to discuss the merits of the request, but he cut her off rather abruptly. Mary happens to know that Jack and her boss are longtime friends. Mary has confided in you. She is very uncomfortable about the meeting with her boss, and she believes that his request would undermine the integrity of the systems review process. Mary feels it would be unethical to grant preferred treatment just because a friendship is involved. She is thinking of submitting a request to step down as review committee…arrow_forwardAt a recent offsite, we broke into small groups of 2-3 people each and imagined ourselves as the leadership team of another marketplace company with somewhat different dynamics.

What was the overarching reason FreshDirect encountered issues with the move to the larger facility? They did not upgrade the technology to meet the demands of the new facility. They did not take into account the need for additional employees. They did not fully test the new technology before switching to the new system. They assumed that customers would remain loyal rather than switching to a closer rival. 2.Suppose you own a mid-size berry farm in upstate New York. You can sell your crops to FreshDirect or a traditional store. Why would you choose to work with FreshDirect over the traditional grocer? Your profits would be higher since FreshDirect works directly with suppliers. You can pay FreshDirect slotting fees to obtain prime shelf space.

AI is used to do many different processes. Some AI are used to do specific tasks like calculation or helping produce goods while others can do multiple tasks. Some are practically human, but lack a physical body and can't display or process emotions like we can. AI are the key to making many processes more efficient and producing things faster than the average human, which can increase profits for companies. This might seem like a bad thing to some people because they might think that AI and robots are taking over jobs for many people. AI and robots are cheaper in the long run and use less resources than organic employees, so I see why people feel threatened by that. Something I'm concerned about is that AI might make life too easy for us, like in WALL-E where the robots are…arrow_forward

He was a self-identified workaholic with broad experience and knew the responsibilities of his position. He was never given a project that he did not relish doing, but this orientation would soon become problematic. Accordingly, as the number of projects under his purview grew, he became stretched and stressed. Thus, it came as no surprise that he would be waiting with hurried anticipation for the Christmas–New Year break, a week of paid time off. Generally, Dan enjoyed his position as program director for the Credit Builders Association (CBA), a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provided training and resources for low-income clients with credit problems.
