CASE STUDY Lynette has been married to James for 11 years. The couple have two children (Samantha and Xavier), both under the age of five. They live in a two-story house in the country. James works at home and Lynette is a full-time homemaker. James’ mother lives about 14 miles away, but Lynette’s family lives three hours away. The couple do not have any close friends. Lynette had friends when she first met James, but over time those friendships dwindled due to the fact that James didn’t like Lynette spending time away from him. The first time James was physically abusive to Lynette he slapped her across the face when she questioned why she couldn’t have more money for the groceries. Getting the groceries was the only time Lynette was away from James for any length of time and his birthday was coming up. She was hoping to pick him up a small gift and asked for a little extra money that week. When he asked why she didn’t have a good reason she just asked why she couldn’t have more. His response was to slap her across the face. Since then, slapping and punching Lynette has become a regular response when she does something that he doesn’t like.How would you explain to Lynette’s mother (and others) why it isn’t that easy to leave [base your responses on what you learn from the Duron et al. (2021) reading]? What reasons would you provide? What would you recommend that her mother (and anyone that cares about Lynette) should do instead of saying ‘why don’t you leave’?

Students are to first read the Duron, Johnson, Hage, & Postmus (2021) article on coercive control (found in Module 11). After reading the article, apply what you learned to the case study listed below.
Be sure to cite the article in correct APA format in your responses. The proper way to cite within the text of a document is to add the citation in parentheses as is exemplified here (Duron, Johnson, Hage, & Postmus, 2021). Note that the parentheses appears at the end of the sentence before the punctuation.
CASE STUDY
Lynette has been married to James for 11 years. The couple have two children (Samantha and Xavier), both under the age of five. They live in a two-story house in the country. James works at home and Lynette is a full-time homemaker. James’ mother lives about 14 miles away, but Lynette’s family lives three hours away. The couple do not have any close friends. Lynette had friends when she first met James, but over time those friendships dwindled due to the fact that James didn’t like Lynette spending time away from him.
The first time James was physically abusive to Lynette he slapped her across the face when she questioned why she couldn’t have more money for the groceries. Getting the groceries was the only time Lynette was away from James for any length of time and his birthday was coming up. She was hoping to pick him up a small gift and asked for a little extra money that week. When he asked why she didn’t have a good reason she just asked why she couldn’t have more. His response was to slap her across the face. Since then, slapping and punching Lynette has become a regular response when she does something that he doesn’t like.How would you explain to Lynette’s mother (and others) why it isn’t that easy to leave [base your responses on what you learn from the Duron et al. (2021) reading]?
What reasons would you provide?
What would you recommend that her mother (and anyone that cares about Lynette) should do instead of saying ‘why don’t you leave’?

Lynette has thought about leaving James, but she doesn’t have any savings of her own, a car of her own, and having two children under the age of five makes achieving these things difficult. Also, Lynette worries about what James would do if she tried to leave him. He controls everything about her life and when he loses any of that control, he gets very angry and more violent.
One night when James is out playing poker with other men in the neighborhood Lynette calls her mother to talk and vent about her situation. Her mother, exasperated over the fact that they’ve had this same conversation for years, says “I don’t understand why you don’t wait until he’s asleep and then take the kids and walk out the door!”

Budgeting and its alternatives have been a contention for practitioners and academics for decades. How can companies weigh the advantages and disadvantages of budgeting and its alternatives?

Wallander (1999, cited in Asogwa and Etim, 2017) critiques the
effectiveness of budgeting in the modern business world, highlighting its
rigidity, complexity, and error-proneness. He contrasts it with alternative
methods like rolling forecast, accrual, and performance budgeting, which are
more flexible, efficient, and accurate. However, Asogwa and Etim (2017) argue
that budgeting is essential for control, motivation, and planning, facilitating
target-setting, accountability, monitoring, and communication. They acknowledge
the budgeting challenges but suggest that the correct application can mitigate
them. They also discuss alternatives and their limitations, stating that
budgeting is crucial for setting and achieving organisational goals.
Bogsnes (2016)
criticises traditional budgeting for its inflexibility, inefficiency,
costliness, and conflict-generating potential. He suggests, beyond budgeting, a
more agile management model based on trust, purpose, values, transparency,
autonomy, and accountability. This model helps organisations deal with
volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity while meeting employee and
leader expectations. Bogsnes believes that adopting these principles can help
organisations better manage their financial resources and adapt to changing
business environments, enhancing their ability to adapt.

When a person is self-employed or begins a new business, OSHA does not reach out to help employers establish health and safety programs. Owners must figure out that OSHA exists. Inspections occur after serious injuries or fatalities occur or if you report an above-average number of injuries. Should a fatality or severe injury be the first time OSHA meets with a company? How might OSHA regulations become more known among small businesses?

Part 1
Discussion Topic:
During this discussion, please choose one of the questions below and respond. Responses should be well thought out, developing your ideas clearly. Please use proper grammar and spelling. Your response is due on Thursday, and your replies to classmates are due Sunday.
When a person is self-employed or begins a new business, OSHA does not reach out to help employers establish health and safety programs. Owners must figure out that OSHA exists. Inspections occur after serious injuries or fatalities occur or if you report an above-average number of injuries. Should a fatality or severe injury be the first time OSHA meets with a company? How might OSHA regulations become more known among small businesses?
Do any of the OSHA standards really intrigue you or catch your attention? Summarize which one and why you are intrigued or it catches your attention.
Response 1(Austin): The OSHA standard that catches my attention is the standard for Permit Required Confined Spaces. The Confined Spaces standard for general industry is covered under 29 CFR 1910.146. This standard outlines safety requirements for working in confined spaces to protect employees from hazards such as limited access, hazardous atmospheres, and engulfment. The thing that I find interesting is the lack of clear paperwork or standards. Cal OSHA currently doesn’t have a standardized form for entering a Permit Required Confined Space. I think that Cal OSHA should employers to file for a confined space entry permit through some sort of portal or service.
Response 2 (Abdullah)
When a person is self-employed or begins a new business, OSHA does not reach out to help employers establish health and safety programs. Owners must figure out that OSHA exists. Inspections occur after serious injuries or fatalities occur or if you report an above-average number of injuries. Should a fatality or severe injury be the first time OSHA meets with a company? How might OSHA regulations become more known among small businesses?
It would be very surprising if the first visit to OSHA coincides with severe injuries, emphasizing the need for employers to be proactive in ensuring safety. Regular communication with OSHA is crucial for staying informed and inquiring about any events that may pose a risk. OSHA should also raise awareness by sending informative messages, benefiting both employers and workers. Additionally, they should intensify visits to employers, addressing new challenges and cautioning other business owners.
Part 2
Please answer all questions below based on reading and multimedia sources. Be thorough and use complete sentences. If you use outside information different from what is provided this week, please give a reference or content link.
