A proximate cause B. An independent cause C. A factual cause D. An intervening cause STUDENT REPLIES STUDENT #1 Kristin Esposito I chose to cover the case of Ahmaud Arbery, as it happened in near me in Georgia. Arbery was shot by Gregory and Travis McMichael, a father and son pair.

The shooting was caught on video footage and has raised many questions as to how Mr. Arbery lost his life. The McMichael's stated originally, they believed Mr. Arbery was breaking into a home in the neighborhood, then chased him down to stop him. They went on to say that when they confronted him, he engaged in a physical confrontation with Travis, resulting in Mr.

Arbery being shot and killed. Once the Georgia Bureau of Investigations became involved, they reviewed the video footage available, and felt that Mr. Arbery was doing nothing wrong at the time he was killed. At that point, both Gregory and Travis McMichael were arrested and charged with multiple charges, including aggravated assault and murder. In June of 2020, a GBI investigator testified that Travis McMichael threw racial slurs at Mr.

Arbery while standing over this body. The man who filmed the entire incident, William Bryan, was also arrested and charged with similar charges after giving conflicting stories about his involvement (Action News Jax, 2021). This case gives a possible good example of actus reus (the criminal act) along with mens rea (criminal intent) (Lippman, 2018). Even though none of the charged have been found guilty, the comments made by Travis McMichael following the shooting show some possible intent to cause harm. Understanding and proving criminal responsibility are important, because it ensures that proper charges are brought against the correct individuals.

This can be difficult, because investigators are tasked with gathering any and all evidence that will show, rather circumstantially or exactly, that a person committed a crime and intended to do so. As our text resources state, responsibility is proven with a motive, or why a person committed the crime. Proving the act of the crime as well as the intent must happen in concurrence (Reid, 2016). Reference W. (2021, February 23). Timeline: The investigation into the killing OF AHMAUD ARBERY.

Criminal law: The essentials (3rd ed.). New York, NY: Oxford University Press. STUDENT #2 Catherine Lemay Johnathan Lyons, 33 years old from Port St. Lucie, Florida, charged with murder and attempted felony murder. Thomas Kennedy, 33 years old from Davie, Florida charged as an accomplice and charged with felony murder.

Mr. Lyons was robbing one female when another stepped in to help her and was shot and killed herself in the process. That’s transferred intent it's when an individual intends to attack one person but injures another. It can also be a concurrence crime it's where a criminal intent must exist which it does it was an intent to a robbery and at the same time as a criminal act which it was there was a homicide. Because he had a gun he was charged with attempted murder on the intended victim and should be charged with armed robbery.

Then there was Mr. Kennedy the getaway driver that was charged with felony murder due to causation due to the fact that due to an armed robbery someone was shot and killed that wasn’t the intended victim. You have to understand the criminal responsibility for each inmate or person charged in a crime or charging someone in a crime to make sure they are charged or not charged accurately so no one is charged if innocent and the guilty are charged and sentenced by the courts appropriately according to the law.

Pandemic Impact Analysis for Smithfield Custom Furniture
1. Pandemic: Major Effects on Planning for Smithfield Custom Furniture Company
The COVID-19 pandemic brought forth unprecedented challenges for businesses across the globe, necessitating rapid adaptations in their operational strategies. For Smithfield Custom Furniture Company, the pandemic created significant disruptions that directly impacted its strategic planning process. Key areas of concern included supply chain disruptions, fluctuating consumer demand, and changes in workplace safety protocols (Choudhury et al., 2020).
With manufacturing facilities and retail stores operating under potential restrictions, the company needs to reassess its supply chain strategies, ensuring that alternative suppliers are available and inventory levels are managed effectively (Ivanov & Dolgui, 2020). Moreover, a shift in consumer behavior towards online shopping necessitates investment in e-commerce platforms and logistics improvements to ensure timely delivery and customer satisfaction (Liedtke et al., 2020).
Furthermore, scenario planning becomes paramount. The company must consider various potential outcomes of the pandemic and prepare contingency plans (Parker et al., 2020). Such adaptive planning is vital for maintaining market stability and competitiveness during this unpredictable period.
1A: Pandemic: Most Significant Planning Action for Company
The most significant planning action for Smithfield Custom Furniture will be the development of a comprehensive risk management framework. This framework will involve continuous monitoring of pandemic developments, regular assessments of inventory and supply chain dynamics, and enhancements in digital retail capabilities. By focusing on such adaptive strategies, the company can maintain operational resilience and capitalize on emerging market opportunities during and post-pandemic (Pettit et al., 2021).
2. Pandemic: Major Effects on Organizing for Smithfield Custom Furniture Company
Organizational structure and communication are critical for a company's response during a crisis. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of a flexible organizational structure that can respond to changing market conditions rapidly (Bryde et al., 2020). For Smithfield, this implies reorganizing teams to enhance cross-functional collaboration, especially between supply chain and sales departments.
Additionally, remote work arrangements necessitate changes in team dynamics and adjustments in employee roles and responsibilities (Bartsch et al., 2020). The company may need to employ collaborative technologies and redefine performance metrics to ensure productivity in a virtual work environment.
2A: Pandemic: Most Significant Organizing Action for Company
The most significant organizing action for Smithfield Custom Furniture would be establishing a hybrid work model that accommodates both in-office and remote work arrangements. This model will ensure that operations can continue seamlessly while also considering employee safety. Clear lines of communication and regular updates about company policies should be prioritized to maintain team cohesion and operational efficiency (Wang et al., 2020).
3. Pandemic: Major Effects on Leading for Smithfield Custom Furniture Company
Effective leadership is crucial in navigating the complexities of a pandemic. Leaders at Smithfield must demonstrate empathy, transparency, and adaptability (Ahlstrom et al., 2020). The challenges posed by COVID-19 require leaders to address concerns about health and safety, job security, and work-life balance. The need for regular communication and fostering trust among employees has never been more critical.
Moreover, leaders must inspire and motivate their teams despite physical distancing measures, helping employees navigate the uncertainties associated with the pandemic (Jiang et al., 2020). Adopting a transformational leadership style, where leaders proactively support employees' needs and wellbeing, will be essential.
3A: Pandemic: Most Significant Leading Action for Company
The most significant leading action for Smithfield Custom Furniture will be implementing a comprehensive employee support program. This program should include mental health resources, regular check-ins, and leadership training focused on creating an inclusive work environment (Cascio & Montealegre, 2016). Providing this level of support will enhance employee morale and commitment during these challenging times.
4. Pandemic: Major Effects on Controlling for Smithfield Custom Furniture Company
The pandemic has prompted companies to rethink their controlling processes. For Smithfield, the challenge lies in ensuring quality control while maintaining production schedules disrupted by health and safety protocols (Desai & Maheshwari, 2020). Traditional performance metrics may need to be reevaluated and adjusted to reflect the new operational realities.
Additionally, controlling financial performance during a downturn is crucial. Implementing stringent financial controls and closely monitoring cash flows will enable the company to navigate potential revenue declines and ensure sustainable operations (Baker et al., 2020).
4A: Pandemic: Most Significant Controlling Action for Company
The most significant controlling action for Smithfield Custom Furniture will be the establishment of a robust financial monitoring system that includes real-time data analysis. By leveraging technology to gain insights into sales trends and operational expenditures, the company can quickly adapt its strategies and make informed decisions aimed at preserving financial health and maximizing efficiency (Gomez & Vandenberghe, 2020).
Conclusion
In the face of an ongoing global pandemic, Smithfield Custom Furniture must adapt its planning, organizing, leading, and controlling functions to safeguard its business operations and workforce. By developing an agile risk management framework, creating a hybrid work environment, implementing employee support programs, and establishing robust financial monitoring systems, the company ensures its resilience during this challenging period and positions itself for future growth.
