• (Vocation of the Business Leader Article is in next module)
• Read Chapter 8 – Managing Service and Manufacturing

• Special Announcement

  Please arrive at class in time. Tardiness is not only rude to your fellow classmates; it is very disruptive to class.  It’s disruptive to guest speakers, it's disruptive to professors, and in the future you will find it's disruptive to co-workers and bosses.

  Please do not come to class late.  If you are late, wait until the break to come in the classroom.

  I have had bosses yell at people for being late and lock meeting doors when someone is late, but the real issue is that it is disruptive to whoever is speaking.

  When I start a class I'm thinking about you and the class content for the day. If members of this class come in late, that disrupts my concentration, which in turn affects my ability to give you the education you want.

  PLEASE do not come to class late.

  Thank you.

  Sincerely,

  Joe Barnes
