Discussion/Response: Workplace Romance Policy
No unread replies.No replies.
If you were a business owner, what would your policy on workplace romances be and why?
Develop your discussion based on personal perspectives (and possible workplace experience) supported by materials gleaned from Lessons 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3.
A “well-developed policy” will highlight 4 or 5 guidelines with clear reasoning and details to support the guidelines. Give this some thought and work within the standard minimum 15 to 20 sentence framework.
After you’ve completed your work, upload it, and review what your classmates have developed. Respond to at least three of them. Are their policies totally different than what you created or have you found commonalities? Are you willing to adopt aspects of your classmates’ Workplace Romance Policy? Why? Why not?

OVERVIEW
Pearl River is the world’s largest piano maker. It is also the fastest-growing piano maker in North America, with the largest dealer network in Canada and the United States. The company has in fact surpassed Yamaha and Steinway, both of which are reputed piano-making companies. But it is not very well-known despite its claim that it is “the world’s bestselling piano.” The reason for this is that customers do not associate a fine musical instrument with a “made-in-China” tag.
Pearl River Piano Group (PRPG) was founded in 1956 in Guangzhou, China. Though it exports to Hong Kong, its primary market has been China. Pianos earlier considered a luxury have become more affordable with rising incomes. As a result, the Chinese are the consumers of almost half of the pianos produced in the world.
The Chinese market has attracted many new entrants and with over 140 competitors, PRPG’s domestic share fell from 70% a decade ago to a current 25%. Savage domestic competition has forced PRPG to look for foreign markets. It now exports to over 80 countries including the US.
The US subsidiary of PRPG established in 1999 managed in getting Pearl River pianos into about one-third of the specialized US retail dealers. Ten years later, the brand became the undisputed leader at the low end of the upright piano makers in North America. Efforts to penetrate the high-end market, however, proved to be frustrating. The Pearl River Brand suffered as a result of the negative trappings associated with Chinese brands.
In a bold move to overcome buyer’s reservations about purchasing high-end Chinese products, PRPG acquired Ritmüller of Germany, one of the first piano makers in Germany and one of the most prominent in the world. The German company, despite its great history, had been struggling and couldn’t survive the disruptive, mass-production technologies unleashed by companies like Yamaha and Pearl Water. The alliance between PRPG and Ritmüller has benefitted both the companies. PRPG now sells pianos crafted with German precision and is now able to enter the high-end market despite the Chinese tag. The German company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, has been rejuvenated.
CASE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS (PLEASE COPY THE QUESTIONS BEFORE PROVIDING YOUR DISCUSSIONS)
Drawing on the industry-based, resource-based, and institution-based views, explain how Pearl River, from its humble roots, became China’s and the world’s largest piano producer.
Why did Pearl River’s top management believe that the firm must engage in significant internationalization (beyond the direct export strategy)?
Why did Pearl River use different entry modes when entering different markets?

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: READ CAREFULLY
***I DO NOT WANT YOU TO ACTUALLY GO OUT AND COLLECT DATA BY GIVING OUT QUESTIONNAIRES OR SUCH WHICH ACTUALLY REQUIRE LIVE HUMANS TO GIVE YOU PERSONAL INFORMATION: ALL OF THIS WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY IRB COMMITTEE FOR APPROVAL AND I DO NOT WANT YOU SATURATING THE COMMUNITY WITH QUESTIONNAIRES AND SUCH. THE GATHERING OF YOUR DATA IS STRICTLY HYPOTETHICAL: YOU ARE GOING TO SHOW ME THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO GENERATE DATA, NOT ACTUALLY DO IT.

C. REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR PAPER
The paper must address the following items:
I. Background of the scientific method and application
II. Selection of a topic/subject for research
III. Selection of a methodology for the research
IV. Gathering data: how to do/where to find it/and more
V. Analysis of data:
VI. Review of relevant literature (www.mamma.com) is a superior source of information.
VII. Be sure and properly cite your references (use whichever format is most comfortable for you)
VIII. Findings and conclusions _ what did you find or expect to find??
IX. Presentation of the study . . . conclusion of the paper
NOW READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY:
HERE IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO!!
1. Define your topic clearly so all other reviewers will know exactly what you are studying and what the “problem or focus” of the study is.
2. Define the variables you will be using and measuring: define them exactly so all other reviewers will know exactly what you mean when you label a variable and then use it in your study.
3. Review the relevant literature and cite it appropriately: this is called a “review of literature”.
4. Explain exactly how your will gather your date (even though this will be hypothetical data”).
5. If you plan on using a questionnaire design one and show the variables and questions you intend to use. (remember you are not actually going and administer this questionnaire)
6. Include a copy of the questionnaire.
7. If you are going to use secondary data show copies of this/these resources and cite their references.
8. If you are really creative and use another method to gather data describe in detail how you will gather this data and define the level of the data (i.e. nominal, ordinal, etc.)
9. Explain which statistical methods (or software) you will use to analyze your gathered or acquired data.
10. Present a hypothetical or expected outcome of your data analysis.

I would expect that you can do all this in about 11 pages or less of clear text, graphs, and so forth.
