The purpose of this assignment is to analyze and select an appropriate method of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) for a business dispute, to examine unethical business behavior, and to develop risk management procedures to avoid or reduce claims and litigation.
Read the following scenario:
Dazzling Dough Co. sells pizza dough to local pizza restaurants. Most of the restaurants buy at least 150 pounds of pizza dough from Dazzling Dough Co. in each order. Jerry’s Pizza contacted Dazzling Dough Co. to purchase 200 pounds of pizza dough, along with some other items. Dazzling Dough Co. sent Jerry’s Pizza a written contract, prepared by Dazzling Dough Co.’s lawyer, stating that “Jerry’s Pizza agrees to purchase 200 pounds of pizza dough, pizza toppings, desserts and soft drinks for $30,000.” Jerry’s Pizza signed and returned the contract.
A few days later, Dazzling Dough Co. sent Jerry’s Pizza 125 pounds of pizza dough and 75 pounds of pizza toppings, desserts, and soft drinks. Jerry’s Pizza contacted Dazzling Dough Co. about the error in the contract and demanded an extra 75 pounds of pizza dough. Dazzling Dough Co. said there was no error, that Jerry’s Pizza signed the contract so they agreed to the terms, and it was not sending the extra pizza dough.
After several attempts to resolve the dispute and a pressing need for dough, Jerry’s Pizza terminated the contract and sent Dazzling Dough Co. a check for $15,000 for the 125 pounds of pizza dough, pizza toppings, desserts and soft drinks. Jerry’s Pizza immediately purchased 75 pounds of pizza dough from another company for $12,000. Both parties are threatening to sue each other for breach of contract. They prefer to resolve the dispute out of court because the contract contains a clause that awards reimbursement of attorney’s fees to the winning party.
The board of directors of Jerry’s Pizza scheduled a meeting with you and other senior management at the company to discuss the dispute. You’ll need to prepare a strategic plan overview (an abbreviated strategic plan, not a full plan) for the board that explains why there is a dispute, suggests various settlement proposals, and provides recommendations on how Jerry’s Pizza can avoid this kind of dispute in the future.
Prepare a 525- to 875-word strategic plan overview to resolve the legal dispute for the board (use the bullet point headings provided below to format your overview) addressing the following:
Summary of Dispute
Identify the source of the dispute.
Identify each party’s interpretation of the contract language.
Identify whether each party’s interpretation is reasonable.
Identify any missing facts that would be helpful to know in order to resolve the dispute.
Proposed Revisions to Contract Language
Recommend specific revisions to the contract’s language so that it is clear what Jerry’s Pizza expected to buy and what Dazzling Dough Co. is required to deliver.
Ethical Considerations
Explain the ethical considerations for a company to enforce specific terms of a contract against another company if the other company is mistaken about what was agreed to. Discuss the factors that should be considered.
Recommendations
Two to three possible settlement options (e.g., pay for the disputed dough, reduce the amount of dough to be purchased, split the difference, refuse to pay, etc.)
Two to three methods of dispute resolution (e.g., negotiation, mediation, arbitration, litigation, etc.) that Jerry’s Pizza can propose to Dazzling Dough Co.

Look at the Conceptual Model of HR. Choose one area you find interesting. Based on your own experiences and readings, what would you like to see happen in that area? For instance, in Total Rewards/Compensation, maybe you’d like to have paid family medical leave.
In performance management, perhaps you would like to have a particular type of appraisal process. Or, if you’re looking at employee relations, maybe you’d like to adopt a teleworking policy at an organization.
Maybe you see a change in the labor pool, law, or technology that will impact your chosen HR area and you want to address how such change will be incorporated.
Once you’ve identified a specific area to explore, ask: If I had to propose this idea to executive management, how could I address the pro vs. con questions:
–How might it impact a hypothetical organization’s strategic direction and operations? Why would an organization want or not want to do this?
–How might it impact employees? Why would employees want or not want this?
–What impact would it have on other parts of the HR system? Would other dimensions of HR need to change in order for my proposal to work? What support might be needed from the other HR areas? For instance, would we have to pay more, revise job descriptions, train staff, or lay-off people?
–How would we measure whether my proposed idea succeeded?
–What are real organizations doing about this? Give at least one specific, referenced example.
When answering the content questions, be sure:
____ The work is original. Remember that you may not submit work that was created for any other class, including a previous semester of HRMD 610.
This was part of the Academic Integrity Pledge you signed at the beginning of the term. The professor reserves the right to submit student papers to determine the originality percentage at his or her discretion. A good rule of thumb is that no more than 20% of a paper should be from direct quotes.
_____ The content is substantial and represents a significant literature review. In other words, the material extends substantially beyond the course readings. The issues discussed are key facets of the topic.
_____ Most of the references represent scholarly sources. Plan to use 8-12 sources for the paper. (Use UMUC’s library. The librarians are very helpful.)
_____ Since they are not vetted, commercial websites (.com) are not used unless the reason is to report the organization’s own policies or strategies as an example to illustrate a point.
_____ Because the HRM field has been changing rapidly in the last few decades, sources published prior to 2009 should be avoided, except when some brief history of the topic is necessary.
_____Points are well supported with logic, data, and/or examples.
_____The introduction tells the reader the purpose of the research and the agenda for the paper. (Do NOT use an abstract.)
_____ Special terms are defined.
_____Points are logically sequenced; the paper is well-organized.
_____The summary recaps the key points and provides psychological closure to the discussion.
_____Technical aspects of writing (i.e., grammar, sentence structure, and spelling) are correct.
_____Academic style (i.e., appropriate diction, clarity, smooth transitions, and an audience-oriented approach) is demonstrated. Note: This is a research paper, thus please do not:
Write in the 1st or 2nd person (I, me, my, we, us, you, your, our, etc.)
Share personal stories or workplace situations
Express your beliefs, feelings, or opinions on the subject
_____The body of the paper does not exceed 8 double-spaced pages. (The page limit asks you to think about what is most important and to communicate it concisely.
This is a valuable business skill since managers often have time to read only the executive summaries or the first page of a resume! Note: This does not mean that substance should be sacrificed; it just means it should be presented concisely.)

Ontario is an international leader in its use of renewable energy sources for electricity production; more than 80 % of electricity produced in Ontario is from renewable resources, primarily nuclear and hydro, with a small contribution from solar, wind and biofuel (CNS, 2018).
However, the remaining ~20 % is produced via the combustion of natural gas (CNS, 2018), a process that produces carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas. With the release of the Ontario Climate Change Action Plan in 2016, an endowment was given of $17 million to invest in strategies to reduce greenhouse gas pollution in the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding southern Ontario region.
This endowment is planned to be used to reduce the reliance of Ontario on natural gas and shift toward more sustainable sources of electricity production.
Therefore, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment is looking to hire an environmental consultant to perform a detailed assessment of the sources of renewable energy available in Ontario and recommend to the Ministry which source it should move forward with in the province.
The assessment report would need to include:
• A recommended renewable electricity generation source
• A description of how the source produces energy with a discussion of general
advantages and disadvantages
• A cost analysis of the recommended source
• Discussion of an example case where the energy source has been used in another area
globally
Assignment Instructions
1. Based on the information that was covered in lecture and in the in class activities, choose a renewable source of energy that you think would work best for Ontario’s energy production in the future.
2. Collect 6 literature sources on this topic. The sources can only be from books, peer reviewed journals (if you choose), or credible websites (government or academic websites). Use of information from other websites is not acceptable.
3. Write a 1000 to 1500 word report of your topic that includes all of the requirements that the Ontario Ministry of the Environment is interested in:
• A recommended renewable electricity generation source
• A description of how the source produces energy with a discussion of general
advantages and disadvantages
• A cost analysis of the recommended source
• Discussion of an example case where the energy source has been used in another area
