What type of franchise was Del Rey’s La Grande Enchilada restaurant?

Carlos Del Rey decided to open a fast-food Mexican restaurant and signed a franchise contract with a national chain called La Grande Enchilada. Under the franchise agreement, Del Rey purchased the building, and La Grande Enchilada supplied the equipment. The contract required the franchisee to strictly follow the franchisor’s operating manual and stated that failure to do so would be grounds for terminating the franchise contract. The manual set forth detailed operating procedures and safety standards, and provided that a La Grande Enchilada representative would inspect the restaurant monthly to ensure compliance.Nine months after Del Rey began operating his restaurant, a spark from the grill ignited an oily towel in the kitchen. No one was injured, but by the time firefighters put out the fire, the kitchen had sustained extensive damage. The cook told the fire department that the towel was “about two feet from the grill” when it caught fire, which was in compliance with the franchisor’s manual that required towels to be at least one foot from the grills. Nevertheless, the next day La Grande Enchilada notified Del Rey that his franchise would terminate in thirty days for failure to follow the prescribed safety procedures. Using the information presented in the chapter, answer the following questions.What type of franchise was Del Rey’s La Grande Enchilada restaurant?If Del Rey operates the restaurant as a sole proprietorship, who bears the loss for the damaged kitchen? Explain.Assume that Del Rey files a lawsuit against La Grande Enchilada, claiming that his franchise was wrongfully terminated. What is the main factor a court would consider in determining whether the franchise was wrongfully terminated?Would a court be likely to rule that La Grande Enchilada had good cause to terminate Del Rey’s franchise in this situation? Why or why not?Debate This:All franchisors should be required by law to provide a comprehensive estimate of the profitability of a prospective franchise based on the experiences of their existing franchisees

Imagine yourself at a fair playing one of the midway games. Pick a game and calculate the expected value and post your results along with how you calculated them. For example, you may decide to throw a basketball to try to win a $10 bear. You paid $2.00 for three shots. What is the expected value? (Please do not use this example in your answer)

Analyze your situation through each of the four frames assessing the impact of frame on the achievement of organizational goals and desired outcomes.

Effective leaders and managers are skilled at analyzing organizational dynamics, and facilitating the successful resolution of complex organizational issues. This often requires considering issues from different perspectives to determine the necessary actions. In this assignment, you will identify a complex organizational situation, problem or event you have experienced (or are experiencing) to analyze through the structural, human resources, political and symbolic frames integrating and synthesizing the information to draw valid conclusions and make recommendations to address the situation, and achieve desired organizational goals and outcomes. Prepare and submit an 8 – 10 page paper that briefly describes the situation, defines and discusses the theoretical framework of the four frames, analyzes the situation through each of the frames, and integrates the analyses to draw valid conclusions and make recommendations that achieves the desired organizational outcomes. A well-constructed paper will reference 5 or more scholarly sources including 4 peer-reviewed journal articles retrieved from Brandman’s virtual library, adhere to APA standards, and include the following:Situation Description In no more than one page, describe a current or past organizational situation, issue or event you are or have experienced to examine through the structural, human resources, political and symbolic frames; briefly discuss the organization’s goals and desired outcomes, key players (names optional), and any other relevant background information. The situation described should be consistent with the one approved by the instructor in week 2 and used as the scenario in the discussion board in Weeks 2 – 5. Theoretical FrameworkPrior to analyzing the situation through the structural, human resources, political and symbolic frames, define and discuss each frame, and its value in analyzing organizational issues. You may want to consider the assumptions behind the frames, the impact of the frames on individual and group performance and/or the insights each frame provides into organizational dynamics. Application of TheoryAnalyze your situation through each of the four frames assessing the impact of frame on the achievement of organizational goals and desired outcomes. Synthesize and integrate the findings of the four frames analysis to draw valid conclusions and make recommendations on how to address the organizational situation, issue or event.

According to virtue ethics, who is more ethical – Martha, the one tempted to look, but doesn’t, or Curtis, who isn’t even tempted to look? Defend your answer.

Martha is the administrative assistant to Valerie, the practice manager in a five-physician practice. Salaries of staff are confidential. Since payroll is handled by an outside company, only the practice manager has knowledge of who makes what salary. Valerie has gone to lunch and left her door open. Several people have been in and out of Valerie’s office dropping off reports or other information.Martha goes in the office to place a report on Valerie’s desk and notices that a budget worksheet listing all staff salaries is in clear view. It would be easy to take a quick look, especially since Martha believes she is paid less than other employees with fewer responsibilities. Martha backs out of the office and locks Valerie’s door without looking at the sheet. She thinks to herself, If I should not know what everyone else is being paid, then no one else should either.Curtis is one of the employees who had left information on Valerie’s desk before Martha closed the door. He also sees the budget sheet but does not stop to look at it. It did not occur to him to look at it, although it would have been great to know that he was being paid more than other employees. He puts his file down on Valerie’s desk and thinks to himself, I will warn Valerie that she needs to be more careful about what she leaves on her desk for anyone to see.According to virtue ethics, who is more ethical – Martha, the one tempted to look, but doesn’t, or Curtis, who isn’t even tempted to look? Defend your answer.

discuss legal and ethical issues surrounding the use of social media in marketing.

This week you will discuss legal and ethical issues surrounding the use of social media in marketing. As discussed in Chapters 10 and 11 of the course text and this week’s required article, the use of social media within marketing plans provides opportunities for marketing departments to improve customer contact and brand awareness.
