The Socially Conscious Restaurant This case touches on many facets of human behavior. We retain the case, with an updating, from earlier editions because of its continuing popularity. This case is also suited for the next chapter because it concentrates upon individual differences among people. 1. What will be your biggest challenge in this assignment? A major challenge is that the manager is faced with the prospects of training a highly heterogeneous workforce, even with respect to values and ethics. 2. What cautions should you exercise in using general learning principles in training your employees? The employees will most likely learn at different rates. Some will catch on quickly to the routine, using almost any learning method. Others will require a slow conditioning process. 3. How the values and ethics of your staff have a negative impact on the operations of the restaurant, and how can you handle this problem? Values and ethics might possibly interfere with learning. Some of the former prisoners may rebel against such a slow method of making up for lost income during their incarceration. A starting point would be to openly discuss the values of the employees, and their conflicts. Pondering an Ethical Dilemma As with many role plays, students may need guidance in incorporating ideas from the course into their discussions. A natural tendency is to conduct a discussion without introducing new knowledge. Someone in this group should take the initiative to run the ethical dilemma through the 6-question ethical screen. The ethics of the situation are complicated by the fact that the jobs in question could make a big difference in the financial well being of the Pakistani children. EXAMINATION QUESTIONS Multiple Choice (a) 1. The visual image received by the eye a. has many possible interpretations. b. is quite accurate unless the person has a visual problem. c. becomes more accurate with age.
