Case Study

jack and his friend, A.G. Pennypacker, have come up with a great idea: they have developed a fluoroelastomer liner (a rubber lining) for oil tankers. With this innovation, they believe they can eliminate most oil spills that result from tanker accidents. The liner is highly resistant to fluctuations in temperature as well as physical punctures.

jack wants to set up a company, but is unsure of his options and has come to you for advice for the type of business entity formation he should select. He has the following concerns:

1. He does not want his other business concerns being held liable should there be a lawsuit arising from use/sale of this product.
2. He wants an entity form that will minimize his tax liability.

Based on the entity forms detailed in Chapter 35, select one you feel satisfies his concerns. Make sure to explain why it is the best for jack and Pennypacker.

Action Items

1. Read the case study above.
2. Justify your answers

Notes Frome the teacher :

– which business formation would result in the least liability?

Sole proprietorship , general or limited partnership , or corporation.

– Which business formation best minimize tax liability ? ask how profits are taxed in each formation

Discussion 2-Week 11-1-Chapter 9 to 13

Think of a job that requires very high levels of certain cognitive abilities. Can you think of a way to redesign that job so that people who lack those abilities could still perform the job effectively? Now respond to the same question with regard to emotional and physical abilities.

Consider the personality dimensions included in the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory and the RIASEC model. If you had to “slot” those dimensions into the Big Five, would you be able to do so? Which dimensions don’t seem to fit?

Think about a highly successful team with which you are familiar. What types of task, goal, and outcome interdependence does this team have? Describe how changes in task, goal, and outcome interdependence might have a negative impact on this team.

Think of a team you’ve worked in that performed poorly. Were any of the causes of the poor performance related to the forces that tend to create process loss? If so, which force was most problematic? What steps, if any, did your team take to deal with the problem?

Who is the most influential leader you have come in contact with personally? What forms of power did they have, and which types of influence did they use to accomplish objectives?

Questions to Consider (End of Chapter)

1.    Some states and cities have legislation prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation, weight, appearance, and other factors that are not covered under federal legislation. What factors may affect the passage of such legislation in some areas, but not in others? Is sexual orientation discrimination prohibited in the city or state in which you live?

2.    When the U.S. armed forces were first integrated, there was tremendous opposition, but integration has been accomplished. How similar and different is the opposition to the open service of gays and lesbians in the military to that for the integrated service of Blacks and Whites?

3.    What is the official policy on sexual orientation discrimination in the organization in which you work or are interested in working? With or without non-discrimination policies, what is the climate toward LGBT in the organization?

4.    How is the invisibility of sexual orientation similar to or different from the invisibility of religion?

5.    In Individual Feature 11.2, Pascal Lepine proposes that gays and lesbians may also be more open to others who have also been marginalized in society. In what kinds of situations have devalued, disenfranchised, and marginalized groups in the United States supported each other’s causes? When have they undermined or resisted each other’s causes?
