The day is November 19, 2004. You are the Event Director at The Palace in Auburn Hills, Michigan, home of the NBA’s Detroit Pistons. As the Director of Event Operations at The Palace, I am somewhat your boss. I am on the Events Committee who hired you earlier this year to handle all aspects of any event occurring in The Palace. In essence, you report to me and this committee. We hired you and we can fire you. That being said, on November 19 th of 2004 the Detroit Pistons (who call The Palace home) are hosting the Indianapolis Pacers. Something unprecedented will happen tonight. Do your research and do everything you can to view the incident from all aspects: players, fans, security, etc. This project is designed to take approximately 6-10 weeks to complete. Although I know this could be completed in a significantly shorter time frame, my hope is that you would spend several days researching ALL aspects of what occurred and looking at the entire picture. Keep in mind that the NBA is responsible for the actions and discipline of its players and this falls outside of the scope of your job. Your assignment is to write a 10 (minimum)-20 (maximum) page report using the format below. Keep in mind, your job is on the line. This report will determine if the committee decides to keep you in your current position as Event Director, demotes you to a lower position, or decides to fire you. The paper should follow the guidelines below:
Times New Roman, 12 point font
Double-spaced
APA style for all references;
The paper should roughly use the following format; use the following headings:
Summary of the Incident
Issues That Contributed to the Incident
Changes That Will Be Made to Prevent This Type of Incident From Occurring Again
Estimated Cost of Changes Necessary (from item above)
Brief Summary of How The Changes You Make Will Be Effective, Yet Cost Effective
