Description
This thesis project focuses on the effects of technology issues in the remote work environment and analyzes them using Bolman and Deal’s four frames for organizational leadership (2017). Real life examples of problems and solutions from the North America Laundry & Home Care Finance department at Henkel are utilized. An introduction to the scope of remote work in 2020 and 2021 is presented, followed by a description of Henkel’s role, size, and structure. Technology issues that occur while working remotely are described and looked at through different employee perspectives and leadership frames. Solutions currently in use and potential solutions to reduce any negative effects of these problems are also given.

Description
This thesis intends to explore the virtual working environment that this country’s future workforce will encounter, with an emphasis on my experience as a Procurement Financial Analyst Intern at Boeing this past summer. The events that have unfolded this year, due to the global reach of the novel CoronaVirus pandemic, have led to an unprecedented change in the way in which a majority of America’s corporations have been forced to operate. Businesses have told their employees to stay home and this has dramatically changed the workforce’s paradigm. The uncertainty of the duration of this new paradigm affects everyone from top-level management in decision making, to global recruitment teams, to college students searching for their first jobs in a worldwide market downturn.

Description
In recent events, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has been under fire for not creating a way for student-athletes to make money. However, after pressure from legislatures in multiple states, the NCAA decided to adopt a solution for collegiate athletes to receive compensation. Taking effect in January 2021, student-athletes will be able to obtain monetary awards. However, the NCAA has yet to release concrete rules regarding how student-athletes will receive compensation. By analyzing the history, economics, current structure, and various interviews with collegiate athletes, a pragmatic solution is extrapolated. College sports is the only place in the United States that does not allow individuals to make money off their market-driven talents, often leading to students leaving college before graduation. However, a solution exists for student-athletes to justly receive compensation without negatively affecting their sport, school, and graduation. This thesis seeks to deliver a logical solution to this situation.
