Description

Five sessions on running a business once it is too big to run by instinct.

Gloria Esposito's hardware store has grown to eighteen employees and she cannot manage it the way she did with five. Your student sorts her week into the four functions of management, builds the org chart that eighteen people require, and matches leadership styles to situations that call for different ones.

Then three ethics cases — all of them legal, none of them simple. Your student cannot resolve them by looking up a rule, which is exactly what makes them worth arguing and exactly what real workplace ethics decisions look like.
