YAHOO! PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION DO NOT FORWARD
Yahoos,
Over the past few months, we have introduced a number of great benefits and tools to make us
more productive, efficient and fun. With the introduction of initiatives like FYI, Goals and
PB&J, we want everyone to participate in our culture and contribute to the positive momentum.
From Sunnyvale to Santa Monica, Bangalore to Beijing I think we can all feel the energy and
buzz in our offices.
To become the absolute best place to work, communication and collaboration will be important,
so we need to be working side-by-side. That is why it is critical that we are all present in our
offices. Some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway and cafeteria discussions,
meeting new people, and impromptu team meetings. Speed and quality are often sacrificed when
we work from home. We need to be one Yahoo!, and that starts with physically being together.
Beginning in June, were asking all employees with work-from-home arrangements to work in
Yahoo! offices. If this impacts you, your management has already been in touch with next steps.
And, for the rest of us who occasionally have to stay home for the cable guy, please use your
best judgment in the spirit of collaboration. Being a Yahoo isnt just about your day-to-day job, it
is about the interactions and experiences that are only possible in our offices.
Thanks to all of you, weve already made remarkable progress as a company and the best is
yet to come.
Jackie

from Yahoos HR director Jacky Reses online).
Swisher, K. All Things D. February 22, 2013

Assignment
In June 2013, Yahoo! announced to withdraw its telework policy. From June onwards, all
employees were expected to work onsite. Jacky Reses, HR director at Yahoo!, received a lot of
push back from employees. Reses is surprised because she believes that working from home is
clearly problematic. She hires you as her consultant and gives you the following instructions: I
need to support my own position better, but Id like to understand the position of the
employees as well. Eventually, I want a recommendation about whether or not I should stick
with my policy [to bring all employees into the office] or whether I should adjust this policy.
To complete this assignment, you will look at the problem from the perspectives of two actors,
each using a different frame. For the first actor, the employer including Jacky Reses, you use the
structural frame. For the second actor, the employees, you use a human resources frame.
Your assignment should consist of three parts:
A. Employer perspective on old situation Structural Frame
1. Problem. Describe what the problem is in the old situation, using a structural lens. In
other words, what is problematic for the employer when employees work from
home if you take a structural perspective?
2. Cause. What is / are the cause(s) of this problem? Use an OB model/theory to
explain what causes the problem for the employer.
3. Recommendation. How, using the structural lens, can this problem be solved? Make
sure that in your answer, you reflect on whether withdrawing the telework policy is
a good or a bad solution if you use a structural lens.
B. Employee perspective on new situation Human Resources Frame
4. Problem. Describe the problem with the new situation using a human resource lens.
More specifically, what is problematic for employees when they are not allowed to
work from home?
5. Cause. What is / are the cause(s) of this problem? Use an OB model/theory to
explain what causes the problem for the employee.
6. Recommendation. How, using the human resources lens, can this problem be
solved? Address whether re-establishing the former telework policy is a good or a
bad solution from a human resources lens.
C. Integration
7. Problem comparison. You have now insight in the problem according to two parties,
each using a different framework. What is most important to each party? Do the
parties have the conflicting or compatible interests?
8. Solution. Is there a way to integrate the two frameworks and come to a solution
that is satisfactory for both parties? Explain the extent to which your solution meets
the interests of each party, and how the solution fits within the structural and
human resource frame.
Important tips:
1. Make sure that you discuss the core assumption(s) of the structural frame (in question
1) and the HR frame (in question 4).
2. Make sure that you use OB models and concepts when you explain what causes the
problem (2 & 5). For instance, if you conclude that employees are demotivated because
they are not allowed to work from home, what OB model can help you explain this?
3. Make sure that your recommendations (3 & 6) follow clearly from the previous two
steps. In the first step you specify what the problem is, in step two you explain the
cause(s). Step 3 (recommendations) should be simple because you need a solution that
either intervenes in the causes or directly tackles the problem.
4. To clarify what Im looking for in the problem comparison (7), an example of two sisters
fighting over an orange might help. Both sisters want the orange and are therefore in a
conflict. Their interest might be the same, if they both want the juice of the orange to
lessen their thirst. But if one sister wants the peel to bake a cake and the other wants
the juice to drink, their interest are different and there is in fact no need for a conflict:
the problem can be solved easily by peeling the orange. In the Yahoo case, are the
interests of the two parties conflicting or compatible with each other?
5. The solution (8) follows from part 7. If you know what is important and problematic for
each party, you can search for a solution that meets the interests of both parties (or
meets them halfway). Make sure to look back at your OB concepts/models used before,
and check if these solutions make sense from an HR and/or structural lens.
Additional tips:
Several OB topics can help you analyze the problem from the two frames. You can use for
instance the literature and lectures on:
– Organizational Structure (Bolman & Deal Chapters 3 and 4)
– Motivation (B&D Chapter 6)
– Job design (Lecture 3 on motivation)

Discussion Board Forum Instructions
Topic: Evidence Admission and Suppression
Each state has adopted a variety of rules regarding what facts are deemed proper evidence. Only what a court deems admissible evidence may be considered in reaching a verdict of guilt or innocence. Evidence that is suppressed because it was gathered in violation of the Constitution may have a profound impact on the guilt of a defendant. However, the ability to limit what information a juror has access to is becoming increasingly more difficult to control.
The prevalence of smartphones and tablets allows jurors to gather data about a defendant, victim, crime scene, or witness that was not authorized or even presented at trial or in fact was specifically prohibited by law to be used to determine guilt. But, the temptation to know “the truth” can drive jurors to ignore the mandates of the Constitution and the laws governing proper evidence.
Thread:
If the goal for a trial is the search for justice, evaluate why there are rules that limit a jurors access to information.
Should guilt or innocence only use information gathered in compliance with the Constitution and approved by the judge?
What happens if there are no rules?
Should there be exceptions, and if so, are exceptions still a decision in the hands of the judge or can individual jurors make up their own rules about what is useful information to decide guilt or punish?
Be sure you provide the scriptural, constitutional, and scholarly basis for your positions.
You are required to post a thread (at least 250 relevant words) that is responsive to the prompt questions. In addition to the thread, you are required to reply to 2 other classmates threads. Each reply (at least 200 relevant words) will move the discussion forward, identifying new issues, and bringing clarity to the issues being discussed. Each main point of the thread and each reply must be supported by at least 1 scholarly, criminal justice source published within the last 10 years. In addition, both the thread and each response will relate every major point in your posts to scriptural/biblical principles and include one or more relevant biblical citations. All in-text citations will follow current APA formatting. A reference section using APA formatting must also be included for both the thread and each of the two replies. All posts will be graded according to the requirements set forth in the Discussion Board Forum Grading Rubric.

Responding to a classmates post requires both the addition of new ideas and analysis. A particular point made by the classmate must be addressed and built upon by your analysis in order to move the conversation forward. Thus, the response post is a rigorous assignment that requires you to build upon posts to develop deeper and more thorough discussion of the ideas introduced in them. As such, reply posts must do more than merely affirm, restate or unprofessionally quarrel with the previous post(s). Instead, your responsive posts must make a valuable, substantive contribution to the discussion.
GRADING RUBRICS:
All key components of the Discussion Board Forum prompt are addressed in the thread.
Thoughtful criminal justice analysis (considering assumptions, analyzing implications, comparing/contrasting concepts).
Every major point is supported by at least one scholarly criminal justice source published in the last 10 years.

For this assignment you will be required to:

Referring to Bevan and Sole in Chapter 1 (see section 1.4 specifically), explain two basic principles of competent/effective interpersonal communication. These include taking responsibility for your behavior, sharing meaning, acknowledging your view is only one, respecting others and yourself, and practicing being a competent communicator.
Describe an instance of miscommunication that illustrates one or more of these principles. If absolutely necessary, you can use a hypothetical exchange. Be sure to give precise details so it is clear what went wrong.
Identify one or more barrier that caused this miscommunication. To give you some examples, it can be things like culture, ideas of the self, or various types of noise that disrupted the receipt of the message.
Explain how the barrier(s) interrupted the process of successful communication and how these barriers can be overcome based on what youve learned in this course.

INSTRUCTIONS
The purpose of this assignment is to get you to see the relevance of sociological theories and the concepts they have generated by linking them to events occurring around us on a daily basis. For this assignment, you will be provided with a number of different news stories that you will analyze using what you have learned so far in this class. You will choose THREE of the stories made available. For each news story, you will first provide a BRIEF summary of the article itself. You will then choose one of the main sociological perspectives that have been discussed, provide a definition of the perspective and talk about how we could understand the story using that particular lens. Please note, you may not use the same perspective for all three stories, but you may use it twice. The final step is to choose a concept that we have talked about in this course (a list is provided for you) and connect it to the article. Be clear in explaining exactly where you see the connections. Your discussion should include a clear definition of the concept you have chosen. Use the course readings to help you with this part of the discussion, being sure to site your sources.
The assignment should be presented in the form of a report. It should have a proper title page (be sure to include your name and student number, course name and number, the instructors name, and the date of submission). Each analysis should be 1-2 pages in length, typed, double-spaced using 12-point font. No introduction is required. Put your reference page last. Pay particular attention to your writing style, spelling and grammar since this will be taken into consideration in the marking.
EVALUATION
The assignments will be marked according to the following criteria: Is a complete and accurate understanding of the concept displayed? Has the news story been accurately read and summarized? Are the connections well-established and well-argued? Have all of the instructions regarding presentation been observed?
