DQ (C) – Discussion Question 1 – (CDQ directed at upcoming CLA 1) Graduate Level
Prior to reading this DQ, please read the CLA1 assignment and understand what the assignment is asking you to complete. Once you have an understanding of the CLA1 assignment, please continue to the paragraph below to complete DQ1.
Using the Library Information Resource Network (LIRN), JSTOR, or any other electronic journal database, research six (6) peer-reviewed articles that can be used to answer your upcoming CLA1 assignment. Your discussion should summarize the articles in such a way that it can justify any arguments you may present in your CLA1 assignment and should be different from the abstract. In addition to your researched peer-reviewed article, you must include an example of the article researched as it is applied by industry (company, business entity, and so forth).
Please note: This article summary should not be the only article researched for your CLA1 assignment. You may (and should) have several other articles researched to fully answer your CLA1 assignment. The concept of this DQ is to allow students to be proactive in the research necessary to complete this assignment. You may use your article summary, partially or in its entirety in your CLA1 assignment.
Important: Please ensure that your reference for the article is in correct APA format, as your reference in your discussion post. Depending on which electronic database you use, you should see a “Cite” selection for your article. In addition, there should be a variety of articles summarized and as such, students should have different articles summarized.

Systemic racism/George Floyd case

/in /by

Find an example of a high-profile incident in which the actions and/or decisions of one or more individuals in the public safety field left citizens questioning the ethics of the action/decision and write a case study about that incident.

Your study should address at least the following:
Who were the stakeholders potentially impacted by the actions/decisions?
What arguments might those involved have made that their actions were ethical
Be sure to consider various ethical frameworks when considering this question–for example:
From a utilitarian perspective, he or she might have argued that…
From a deontological perspective, he or she might argue…
Considering virtue ethics, he or she might argue…
Explain why the actions made were or were not ethical.  Be sure to explain the academic definition you’re using as a baseline for this part of the discussion
How different actions by public safety administrators may have shaped the outcome of the incident or the perception of the public concerning either the ethics of the decision and/or the appropriateness of the organization’s reaction to it. For example (not all-inclusive), might better hiring standards or increased ethical training has impacted the situation–might more swift action to support or condemn the individual(s) had a positive impact on the public’s perception of the individual(s) or organization. 
The body of the Case Study shall be 8-10 pages, excluding other material such as the cover page, abstract, table of contents, graphics and tables, and references.

The Case Study Paper shall contain:

Making Training a Competition at Sonic

/in /by

For more than 60 years, Sonic has been America’s Drive-In. With over 3,500 locations, it is also the largest chain of drive-in restaurants in America. The fast food chain sells made-to-order classics and signature menu items delivered by friendly, roller-skating carhops. Sonic created the Dr. Pepper Sonic Games, an extensive nine-month training program, with a goal of ensuring that employees across all of those locations had the same training. The company also saw it as a way to motivate employees to learn and improve their performance. For over 20 years, employees across the chain have been given the opportunity to participate in this competition. A dozen crews participate in the final competition to become the Best Crew in the Country.

The training program includes location-based sessions, team challenges, quizzes, secret shoppers, and individual competitions. The training is relevant to the work that the crews do each day so transfer of training is readily apparent. One goal of the program is to ensure that employees understand every part of the drive-in so that they can provide exemplary service to the customers and have fun while doing so. The company has found that by incorporating a gamification feel employees get excited and energized about participating in the training. An online portal provides digital training modules that help employees move to the next level. The competition involves crews competing against crews from other locations. As a result, the importance of working together as a local team (crew) is reinforced.

The company believes the training program is successful and has data to support that belief. It has seen improvements in everything from food quality to overall employee performance. Employees have a chance to build their skills and the teams have motivation to work collectively for the good of the business. In the end, members of the 12 winning teams receive an all-expense paid trip to Washington, DC, for the final competition. That event marks the first time many of the participants will have been on an airplane and, for some, even the first time to leave their home state. Those are pretty good incentives to participate in the training program, making the experience a win-win for employee and company.

Answer the following questions:

What is your reaction to a training program of this type?

Would you be motivated to participate? Why or why not?

In what other industries might this type of training program work?

List the industries and justify your response.
