Guidelines This is an individual assignment that must be completed on your own. Each question may be answered in approximately 100-150 words. Support your answers with appropriate examples, wherever possible. Quality of your answers is of critical importance, not the number of words used. Answers MUST be in your own words. You must understand that plagiarism is an offence and will be seriously dealt with as per college policies and may result in a failing grade. Make sure you write your name with student number and the title of the assignment on the cover page. Your assignment MUST be submitted through Blackboard on Monday, November 8, 2021 by 11:59PM EST. Email and late submissions will NOT be accepted. Questions 1. John, the production manager, has recently been hired at Acme Inc.
