Future Vision: Is it still managing when what you are managing are robots?
While the text presents a fairly accurate description of today’s workplace, the future is not certain. Work life in the future may be very different than today and will likely include workers who are robots. How will a manager’s job be different? How will working with robots affect human coworkers? If you had to “manage” people and robots, how do you think your job as manager might be different than what the chapter describes?

Ethics Dilemma: To Approve or Not
Students need to consider what happens when colleagues or even your boss wants to “friend” you on a social network site. Is it okay to provide people you know in a professional sense a “window into your personal life”? What ethical issues might arise in such a situation? As you know, in Chapter 3 (Learning Organization, Communication, and Motivation), the distinction is made between formal communication and informal communication. Most people would see Facebook as informal communication. Employees have the right to decline others access to their personal information on a social networking site, unless the site is dedicated for company use.
