Describe self-managed teams.
On Jul 09, 2024
Answers will vary. Self-managed teams, also called self-directed teams or autonomous work groups, are teams that make decisions that were once reserved for managers. Self-managed teams are one way to implement empowerment in organizations. Even though self-managed teams are self-directed, that fact does not negate the influence of managers. In fact, managers have an important role in providing leadership and influence. There is strong support for the use of soft-influence tactics in managers' communication with self-directed teams, which yields more positive results. Please see the section "Empowerment and Self-Managed Teams" for more information.

Christen who just turned eighteen is out with several friends.They decide to see a movie,but it is sold out.Christen hid in the back of the theatre and yelled "Fire" as loudly as she could.Everyone ran out of the theatre,and a number got in their vehicles and left.Christen and her friends thought that seeing the movie was now possible.Unfortunately,a theatre employee saw Christen yelling,called the police,and she was arrested.Christen told the police officers that she was only exercising her free speech rights.She also told the police that the theatre employee lied and that she personally saw him stealing popcorn.The theatre employee told Christen that he was going to sue for defamation,and she told him that she would win based on her right to free speech.Discuss whether Christen is right on one or both counts and why.

While the First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects freedom of speech,this right is not absolute.For that reason,Christen did not have the right to yell "Fire" when there actually was no fire.Additionally,the First Amendment does not protect defamatory speech,False statements about another that are injurious to that person's reputation.

Xavier has developed a new secret diet soda recipe using an ingredient no one else has ever used. He keeps the secret recipe locked in a secure vault for protection. Melia, angry with Xavier for breaking off their relationship, breaks into the safe based on the pass code Xavier had hidden in his desk. Melia sells the secret formula to a competitor who had been working to reverse engineer the formula. Can Xavier sue Melia for trade secret violation?
A) Yes, a trade secret is protected from unlawful appropriation by competitors as long as it is kept secret and consists of elements not generally known in the trade.
B) Yes, but only if the reverse engineering had not yet resulted in learning the secret ingredient.
C) No, because the competitor was already reverse engineering the formula to learn the ingredient.
D) No, formulas are not protected by trade secret laws but by patents.
E) No, formulas are protected by copyright laws and not trade secret laws.
