Baldrige Principles and Introduction to Quality
BUS 211 Baldrige Principles and Introduction to Quality
Order Description
I need help with my BUS 211 Baldrige Principles and Introduction to Quality. It is a 8 weeks course. Assignments include: read and answer 2 questions on the discussion
board. The first is due on August 29, 2017, every discussion board is due every Wednesday,
Week one question is:
One constraint in our economy is time. As a society, we make choices about the allocation of time between work and other pursuits. In the US, most workers are eligible
for overtime pay if they work more than 40 hours a week, whereas most European workers become eligible at 35 hours per week. In addition, workers in Europe have
guaranteed vacation time-- five weeks in France-- a benefit not available in the US. As a result the typical US worker puts in about 2000 hours per year compared to
1700 hours per year in France and Germany.
Should US laws be changed to require a shorter work week and longer vacation time?
For each side of the question list at least two strong arguments. Use the following concepts from this weeks materials at least once;
1. Opportunity cost,
2. Marginal decision making, and
3. Diminishing returns
