You have just been promoted from front-line supervisor to be one of the firm's senior managers. During your business education, you learned that the primary role of a manager is to make good decisions. As a supervisor, you had frequently been making routine decisions, but you realize that decision making for the overall company can and will have far greater impact on the company and its employees.

Your boss, the chief executive officer (CEO), realizes that you do not have much practice in this higher level, decision-making process and has asked you to write a memo describing your understanding of how to make important decisions.

Your memo should address the following questions:

Describe at least 3 criteria that would determine whether the manager is making good decisions. What should be done to better assure that you are making a good decision? 

In the realm of decision making, what are assumptions? Rather than use a dictionary definition, cite several specific assumptions that would go with any real-life decision you have made or have seen made at a company at which you have worked. 

Given the importance of proper assumptions, your boss asked you to assess the accuracy of certain business assumptions and what could you do to test or confirm the credibility of them. The following were major assumptions for each firm: 

An automobile manufacturer's assumption that the demand for SUVs would continue because gas prices would continue to rise 

An airline's assumption that there was a need for an airline that provided no added amenities

It is next to impossible to dispute the fact that China has grown to become the largest manufacturing center in the world today. China’s secret and perhaps its key to success is its vast army of available and compliant workers who are ready and willing to work long hours for low wages. However, perhaps not all is going as well as it seems! China’s incredible economic ascension seems to be slowing as the country faces labor problems such as those faced by the United States more than 100 years ago. Chinese workers are beginning to recognize their value and worth and are standing up for their rights. 

The Chinese government has permitted wages to increase and working conditions to improve in many manufacturing facilities. It is not however, necessarily for the betterment of the workers, but because this action equates to increased spending capabilities of the higher paid workers, which in turns stimulates the economy. The Chinese government is now encouraging its workers to join the one state-controlled union in the nation – All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU). The thought here is this will provide an avenue for grievances to be aired, therefore discouraging more intense actions. 

However, strikes in China are becoming more and more common. Many of the strikes to date have been focused on foreign-owned companies such as Honda. With the record of labor complaints continuing to grow, it is hard to estimate just where this may end up, not only for the workers of China, but for that nation’s economy as well.        

Answer these case questions:
In  what ways are unions beneficial and in what ways might they be harmful?
If  you were a Chinese worker, would you risk going on strike? Why or why not?
What union advice would you give someone about to open a new factory in China?
