NOTE: Better marks will result if you provide context, so discuss/apply OB concepts or models from the textbook, and do (and cite) outside research related to the question

1. An employee known as Susan does an unsatisfactory job on an assigned project. Her manager, Fatima, has been trained to view situations like these using Attribution Theory. So, she wants to assess the situation and then make an informed judgment using this theory. What does Fatima consider and what conclusion does she come to about Susan's performance? In your answer, be sure to define the OB terms you use. Write your answer from the point of view of Fatima, her manager. 2. Two co-workers (Steve and Rachel) have applied for the same job and everyone knows that only one can be successful. A competition was held for the position and it happened that Rachel is successful and will so start in January. Show your understanding of the phrase "sometimes the real message in a communication is buried in silence" and explain what you, their manager, would watch for and do (or do and watch for) in January with respect to Steve's potential job dissatisfaction when Rachel starts in the new positon. 3. You have just been hired by a large consumer products company as a brand manager for toothpaste. Your job mainly involves encouraging the advertising and production groups to promote and manufacture your product more effectively. The company procedures indicate that these groups must complete certain tasks requested by brand managers. However, these departments are not under your direct authority. This means that you cannot hire, fire, discipline or give raises. Describe three sources of power that you will use to ensure that these departments will help you make and sell your toothpaste more effectively
