Two months ago Harry was asked to prepare cash budget with a very short notice. He did an excellent job and handled it before the due date. However his supervisor didn’t even notice that it was a very good job, he immediately assigned another hard job. The managers had treated Sue in the same manner last year. Now Sue has been asked to prepare a feasibility report for the new production facility that the firm was thinking of building. Although it is a hard job, Sue thinks that she will be able to prepare a very good report. However she is very unwilling to prepare it and although time is limited she hasn’t even started to prepare. Sue and Harry began to discuss their supervisors. They thought that their supervisor doesn’t care about their well-being, but he is ready whenever supervision is needed. He clarifies the tasks well, and helps the employees to solve problems related to the job but otherwise, he never interferes. On the other hand, the leader doesn’t let employees try new…

Model the following fragment of a business process: Process 1: Once a loan application has been approved by the loan provider, an acceptance pack is prepared and sent to the customer. The acceptance pack includes a repayment schedule which the customer needs to agree upon by sending the signed documents back to the loan provider. The latter then verifies the repayment agreement: if the applicant disagreed with the repayment schedule, the loan provider cancels the application; if the applicant agreed, the loan provider approves the application. In either case, the process completes with the loan provider notifying the applicant of the application status.Process 2: A loan application is approved if it passes two checks: (i) the applicant’s loan risk assessment, done automatically by a system, and (ii) the appraisal of the property for which the loan has been asked, carried out by a property appraiser. The risk assessment requires a credit history check on the applicant, which is…
Complaints have come to the department manager regarding timeliness of requests for patient information and a decision must be made. Three months ago, Community Hospital opened a 24-hour urgent-care center 10 miles away in a rapidly growing community. Kent Jones, the health information services manager, took part in the planning that included the use of a combined record and one patient identification number. The decision was made to allow electronic sharing of patient records between the facilities; however, at present it is necessary to fax some portions of the record upon request. In the past month, Kent has received four complaints from the urgent care center that records were not faxed in a timely manner. There are 26 employees in health information services. Three full-time employees care for record activity during the day, with one employee devoted to record activity during the evening shift, when a team leader and four other employees are usually in the department. During the…

An electricity power plant was redesigned so that the old system consisting of a single large display screen which could be seen by all of a team of three operators was replaced by individual workstation screens for operators. This worked well until there was a problem which resulted in dangerous gases being released. The team of operators had great difficulty in finding the source of the problem and deciding what to do. Because they no longer have access to all the information, they have to spend time explicitly co-ordinating their understanding of the situation by talking to each other. Under the old system, the knowledge would be shared – one operator would know what was happening with another’s area of the plant without explicit communication. Although the team’s individual responsibilities would still have been clearly divided, the knowledge of the system would be shared. How could the new system of individual workstations be modified to make better use of distributed cognition?
