Regulating reindeer games

Article Abstract:

'Reindeer games' is a term coined by Theresa Beiner of the University of Arkansas. It is used to describe the social activities that provide employees with a chance to mingle with other members of the organization that may lead to promotional opportunities within the hierarchy. Women and people of color are affected negatively by reindeer games because a 'glass' barrier is created that prevents them from advancing in the organizational ladder. This type of interaction may be regulated by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits employment discrimination.

Wharves teach a subtle lesson

Article Abstract:

Managers must take on different management strategies as more companies become international and as technology changes. The wharves' labor and management dispute plays up the importance of adopting different management strategies that aim for getting results. In a tighter domestic economy, one of management's goal was to control wages. However, as firms went global, unions had the ability to affect company innovation and adaption to change.

Roundtable teaches a lesson on influence

Article Abstract:

The New Zealand Business Roundtable has had a lot of success at influencing public policies, despite its critics' protests. The strategy that seems to work is the roundtable's committment to sound public policies, which may take time to push through, but, in the end, are typically adopted by the government. The Roundtable does not plead for sectional interest, and that has become a strength for the group.
