Television provides us with many interesting examples of interpersonal and neurotic behaviors. In this assignment, you will delve into the life and actions of some of your favorite television characters and analyze them using Horney’s coping strategies.

Interestingly, Horney’s three coping strategies for one’s neurotic needs correlate very well with three of Adler’s different personality types:

  • Horney’s moving-toward strategy—Adler’s getting or leaning type
  • Horney’s moving against—Adler’s ruling or dominant type
  • Horney’s moving away from—Adler’s avoiding type

Using Horney’s theory of coping with neurotic needs with three different interpersonal orientations, select a TV program of your choice containing a character that Horney would identify as exhibiting neurotic behaviors. As you watch a full episode of this show, focus on this character and tally each instance of moving-toward, moving-against, and moving-away behavior.

Research Horney’s theory using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:

  • Discuss this character’s neurotic needs and trends.
  • What do you think has happened in his/her life that has led to these behaviors?
  • In addition to general life events, how has gender and culture influenced the character’s neurotic needs and behaviors?
  • How do these interpersonal orientations impact the way this character interacts with others and develops relationships?

What advantages and disadvantages do you see for this type of distribution channel strategy?

Marketing Help

One of the most controversial distribution channel strategies is multi-level marketing.  In this method, anyone can become an independent distributor for the product if they pay a membership fee.  Distributors earn commission both from selling the product and from recruiting new distributors.  In general, distributors recruited into a multi-level marketing network are not trained marketing professional.  Instead multi-level marketing companies typically try recruit average individuals with low or moderate incomes who wish to earn some extra money.  In turn, these individuals are then encouraged to recruit friends, family members, and coworkers into the network.  Well known multi-level marketers include Amway and Herbalife.

Many of you have likely had direct experience with multi-level marketing.  Have any of you been a part of a multi-level network?  Or has a friend or family member tried to recruit you into one?  Or have you purchased a product from one of these types of companies?  Explain what kind of experience you might have had, and your overall impression of multi-level marketing.  What advantages and disadvantages do you see for this type of distribution channel strategy?

If you haven’t had any direct experience with multi-level marketing, do some research and find a new company that uses this strategy.  Does this company seem credible, or does it look sketchy?

Management Information Systems Case

 

  1. 1)  The Warm and Toasty Heating Oil Company used to deliver heating oil by sending trucks that printed out a ticket with the number of gallons of oil delivered and that was placed on customers’ doorsteps. Customers received their oil delivery bills in the mail two weeks later. The company recently revised its oil delivery and billing system so that oil truck drivers can calculate and print out a complete bill for each delivery and leave customers with the bill and a return envelope at the time the delivery takes place. Evaluate the business impact of the new system and the people and organizational changes required to implement the new technology

     

  2. 2)  Caterpillar is the world’s leading maker of earth- moving machinery and supplier of agricultural equipment. The software for its Dealer Business System ( DBS), which it licenses to its dealers to help them run their businesses, is becoming outdated. Senior management wants its dealers to use a hosted version of the software supported by Accenture Consultants so Caterpillar can concentrate on its core business. The system had become a de- facto standard for doing business with the company. The majority of the 50 Cat dealers in North America use some version of DBS, as do about half of the 200 or so Cat dealers in the rest of the world. Before Caterpillar turns the product over to Accenture, what factors and issues should it consider? What questions should it ask? What questions should its dealers ask?

Subject: Re: Quarterly Ordering Decisions

Here is what we would like you to do. We want you to use the Import Beer product line as a test case for developing an optimization program. Use the Excel file that we have developed with the forecast information for the import beer product line. Other information that you will need has been provided by Accounting: inventory holding costs, product costs and price markups.

This information with the Sales Forecast and costs and prices has been provided in the Excel file. [EBBD-ImportsData]

We want you to develop a method that will determine the optimal ordering quantities so that we maximize the gross profits and also take into account inventory holding costs.

After you have developed this method, write a short report to management explaining what you did and how this method can be used going forward on a quarter by quarter basis and for the other product lines.

Also attach any calculations or analysis that you did in an Excel file.

Let me know if you have any questions.

~DW, VP LogOps.

Learning Wizard

If you have done all of the exercises successfully you should be able to easily complete the EBBD assignment from Wilco. Be sure to watch the videos.

Download the EBBD-ImportsData Excel (click on link above) file and look at how it compares to the practice examples in the EBBD Exercises spreadsheet.

Setup the decision cells, the inventory cells and inventory constraints. Then add the calculations for income and costs. Make sure you get the timing right for which inventory is sold in which quarter. You could develop intermediate cells that calculate the costs, just to help you keep track of this. Be sure to use the quarterly inventory holding cost rate. Then calculate the gross profit cell.

Then, open up Solver and add the aspects to it. Make sure that you add a constraint that keeps your inventory values positive.

Once you have the correct solution, save your Excel file and write the report.

Upload the Report and the Excel file with the solution to Case 3 Dropbox.

Assignment Expectations of the written report – write the report to your boss, Danny Wilco

The report should thoroughly address these aspects in depth and breadth:

  • Problem situation: clearly elucidate the problem situation at EBBD
  • Assumptions: what are the assumptions that need to be made and your critical evaluation
  • Solution: What is your solution for Order Quantities? Discuss how you developed the Solver solution. Keep in mind that your audience is not too technical and do not need a lot of detail on this.
    • Make sure you attach the Excel file.
    • You should refer to the Excel file when necessary.
  • Recommendations: what do you propose for EBBD in terms of using this method in the future and for the other product lines?
  • Justification & Explanation: clear reasoning as to why the recommendations were made
  • Writing style & Organization: well-formed sentences and paragraphs, well organized with flow of reason, and good use of language that pertain to concepts and terminology
  • Use of references & citations: Be sure appropriately cite sources within the paper and in the end reference list.

Subject: Re: Quarterly Product Ordering Decisions

Jones was reading an article in a back issue of Logistics Manager about optimizing inventory and supply chains. And I have some knowledge of an optimization technique called linear programming or LP. We think that there is a way we can use this technique with our new forecasting information to develop a quarterly product ordering and inventory plan to optimize our profits.

Here’s the article that Jones was reading:

Anonymous. (2010, Sept.). Supply chain standard: Tooled up to optimize [sic]. Logistics Manager. Retrieved from ProQuest.

Check out this article. It does not pertain precisely to our situation, but the concept of optimization is what we are interested in. We want to be able to plan for quarterly order quantities based on the forecast of sales, the forecast of cost inflation, and our inventory storage capacity. Knowing what to purchase and hold given the future costs, should help us to maximize our profits.

I will send more details shortly.

Learning Exercises

  1. Learn the Basics from this PowerPoint.

    Download this PowerPoint with info on the basics of Linear Programming: problem formulation and graphic solution in 2 dimensions – the Flair Furniture example. [Linear Programming Models: Graphical & Computer Methods]

    NOTE: 2-D problems are the easiest to setup and solve, and you can see the solutions graphically. Higher dimension problems, with three or more decision variables, sometimes up into the thousands, are possible. The method is basically the same – find the corner points and evaluate the objective function – but it is more complex and takes more time and computing power.

    ****WATCH THIS VIDEO THAT REVIEWS THE POWERPOINT – IN YOUTUBE*** http://youtu.be/0HBHjHVE1XY

  2. You will need to setup Solver Add-in in your Excel. This comes as part of the Excel Package. You just need to make sure you have it setup and ready to use.

    Download this PowerPoint to show you how to setup Solver [Setting up Solver Add-in]. Follow the directions. Then you will be ready to see the examples in try your own.

    ***NOTE: Spreadsheet in OpenOffice has Solver included. Go to the Tools menu and click on Solver.

  3. View some examples and then try the Greenberg Motors problem

    Download this Excel Spreadsheet file with examples of different LP problems: [Product Mix Problem Example: DJJ Enterprise]

    The first Tab in this spreadsheet file is DJJ Enterprise. Watch these three YouTube videos to see how this problem is formulated, setup and solved in Excel with Solver.

  • YouTube LP example: DJJ Enterprise [3 parts]
  • Now download this PowerPoint file that provides more examples including the Flair Furniture Example. [LP-Solver&Examples].
  • Review each example in the PowerPoint and explore the setup and solution in Excel.
  • Try the Greenberg Motors problem on your own. Once you think you have it solved, download this Excel File to see a solution. [GreenburgMotors-Solution]

Now focus on the problem for EBBD.

  • Once you know what your task is from the case assignment, you can experiment with these spreadsheets with a similar, simpler situation.
  • Download this Excel file: [EBBD Exercises: Flair Furniture]
  • Try the following:
    • Heuristics 1 Tab: First try to find the optimal combination of products to order using your best guess and any heuristics that you can develop. This is an adaptation of the Flair Furniture problem.
    • Heuristics 2 Tab: Now try heuristics to solve this problem, similar to the EBBD situation with Quarterly ordering quantities.
    • Solver Tab: Try to develop the solver solution for this problem. It is very similar to the EBBD problem in the assignment.
  • WATCH THIS VIDEO ON SOLVING THE EEBD EXERCISE – IN YOUTUBE: http://youtu.be/LwGXaM6WVq8

You should be able to solve the EBBD problem if you have completed all of these exercises. Make sure you download the Excel file from Danny Wilco with the Data for Case 3 – on the Case page in his email.
