Week 7 Discussion 1
“Organizational Citizenship” Please respond to the following:
•Persuading the employees that their jobs are meaningful and exciting
is a skill that few managers possess. From the first e-Activity, the
management invested in employee training and team building. Analyze
how that investment pays off. Suggest how companies could change their
employee training practices to incorporate team building.
•Most companies do not organize every project in a strict hierarchy of
silo reporting relationships. Propose an alternative organization
structure for a company that is focusing on developing new engineering
technology in solar energy. Support your proposition

Week 7 Discussion 2
“Supply Chains” Please respond to the following:
•From the second e-Activity, assess the usefulness of RFID technology
to reduce costs in the supply chain (i.e., Wal-Mart). Determine where
and how this technology might be best used.
•Outsourcing does not necessarily result in reduced costs. Outsourcing
a company’s customer service department could cause problems for
customers that result in a loss of revenue. Give your opinion about
how and where outsourcing may best be used to improve a company’s
operation. Include an example to support your answer.
