You work for a small computer reseller located in the Southeast United States. The company started 2 years ago and has experienced steady growth, which has prompted the company to relocate to a larger space. The network design in the old location did not provide for centralized management of resources and provided no logical separation for resources. The desired design will require each user to use a single username and password to access resources.

In 3–4 paragraphs, complete the following:

•Identify an NOS that can be implemented to achieve this requirement.

•Do you think this implementation could improve overall network and resource management?

•Why or why not?

•What would be an alternative configuration?

•Which configuration do you like best, and why?

discussion question** Sociology McDonaldization *** Due TODAY 1100pm

/in /by

This week you will read about how McDonaldization is actually the application to the fast food industry of the principles of “Scientific Management” which were first formalized by Frederick Taylor, who advocated that there was “One Best Way” to accomplish any task.  He believed that the work of planning should be the domain of corporate staff specialists, who would use the scientific method—data analysis and experimentation—to find that One Best Way.  These people used to be called “industrial engineers,” but now the term “process engineer” is a more common term for them.  The idea was to divest the worker of as many decisions as possible, in effect reducing him (or her) to a set of hands guided by explicit work instructions.  The more successful the process engineers were, the less dependent on the skills of the workforce a company would be, the easier it became to backfill a worker with someone off the street, and the less of the worker’s mental capabilities would be required to complete a job.  But there is, as Ritzer will indicate later in the book, a limit to this process, beyond which inefficiencies start to set in.  As you will see as you read the book, he calls this the “irrationality of rationality.” 

 

Here are two options for doing this week’s discussion: 

(Before you address these questions, go online and look up the definition of “McJob.”) 

Option 1:  At what point is “rationalization”—the proliferation of “McJobs”—likely to create inefficiency?  You can use your own work experience for examples to illustrate your answer. 

 

Option 2:  Watch the video (link is on page 9 of the Module 2 Presentation) called “Building Airplanes Economically.”  Do you think the jobs shown in it are “McJobs”?  Why or why not? Would you want to ride on a plane made by people with McJobs?  Discuss.

Assignment 1: Bottling Company Case Study

Due Week 10 and worth 140 points

Imagine you are a manager at a major bottling company. Customers have begun to complain that the bottles of the brand of soda produced in your company contain less than the advertised sixteen (16) ounces of product. Your boss wants to solve the problem at hand and has asked you to investigate. You have your employees pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at random from all the shifts at the bottling plant. You ask your employees to measure the amount of soda there is in each bottle. Note: Use the data set provided by your instructor to complete this assignment.

  4. Provide the following discussion based on the conclusion of your test:  

a. If you conclude that there are less than sixteen (16) ounces in a bottle of soda, speculate on three (3) possible causes. Next, suggest the strategies to avoid the deficit in the future.
