Q1 wk1 I can see myself working in the fine dining industry. It is a model typified by superior food with elegant presentation accompanied by superior service. Indeed, this setting actually echoes my passion for gastronomic innovation and the art involved in creating special moments of dining. Moreover, fine dining would be an opportunity to research various cuisines and further enhance advanced culinary skills (Harba et al., 2021). This model is also very structured, which appeals to my love of planning and attention to detail. It would therefore be an opportunity to satisfy my needs by marrying creativity with discipline in service of personal growth and professional satisfaction.

Across America, large quantities of food are wasted every day in homes, retail, and food service. Many of the decisions when managing food service operations will either positively or negatively impact the amount of waste for that operation. Some causes of waste are easily recognized or can be assumed, such as oversized portions or preparation errors for example, but as reviewed last week and this week, there are multiple types of waste that can contribute to food waste or overspending of cash or resources like time, labor, etc.

Using the style of food service operation you 

identified in Week 1

, as the context for your discussion, identify the

7 types of “Muda”

 and isolate an example
applicable to your style of operation. This element can be in outline or paragraph form. Do not use examples used in the lesson content.

Outline Example:

· type of Muda – example

· type of Muda – example

Once the examples are identified, identify what you believe would be
the top two contributors to waste in your operation and discuss how you can mitigate that waste as a factor. Remember, waste could occur in production or in service and the remedy could be in the other. The intent is to anticipate a problem and plan remedies so be creative in identifying what possible causes may be.

Q2

Watch the following video,

“The Reach of a Restaurant”

, and discuss the equation presented by Mr. Thomas Keller.

The equation is “cooking=ingredients + execution”.

In your discussion, address the following elements;

· What does that equation mean to you?

· How could you incorporate elements from the video into your role as a manager and leader within your operation?

· Are the factors in the equation literal or metaphorical? Explain using examples.

Q3

 1) Provide an example of war-time rape either in the United States or abroad.  Choose an example involving one individual rather than a community of victims. Did the incident result in any type of punishment or were there no consequences?

2)    2) Rape also occurs within our military ranks.  How does the military currently punish these offenders? Would it be truthful to say that many of these rape allegations are “swept under the rug”?

Q4 Jameire

There are a number of specialized areas of finance and sports finance is one of those specialties. It is clear that the sports industry is different from the banking industry or from manufacturing.  However, regardless of the industry no business is able to succeed without using sound financial principles. Discuss why it is impossible to fully grasp sports finance without knowing the fundamentals of finance. What basic financial concepts do you feel are important to sport finance? How are those concepts applied to a sports organization?

Q9 quay

Wk 3- I remember having a disagreement with my sons father about whether or not de deserved to be placed on child support. I would of rather had a mediator to help explain to him why child support would be better than no support. Talking to him was like talking to a brick wall but trying to make him see that him doing nothing was not working for me or his son so being forced to take care of his job was the better option for me. Were I conduct mediation between parties, I would prefer the facilitation style of mediation since it leaves the parties to arrive at a solution themselves.  This would be required in disputes of a personal or emotional nature. Amongst the four kinds of mediation, I will opt for transformative mediation which builds relationships and ensures empathy as understood by the facilitative approach

 Recall the dispute that was the subject of your answer to the Week 3 discussion. Now suppose that instead of mediation, you have to arbitrate the same dispute. Would you prefer a
binding or 
incentive arbitration structure? Does it depend on the nature of the dispute? Or the disputants? Explain your choice.

 Based on your answer to #1, which type of award model would you prefer for your dispute? Would you allow the arbitrator to have unrestricted discretion? Would you instead prefer to set mutual limits on such awards? Or would you rather use a ‘final offer selection’-type strategy? Explain your answer.
