MGT 207 – Final Presentation

Create a company (with basic information about the company such as industry, size, goal, mission, vision and etc) and answers the following 6 questions in depth.
1. What is the company and its purpose?
2. How will you increase job satisfaction and job performance?
3. How will you handle employee conflict?
4. How will you foster positive employee communication?
5. How will you use teams to your advantage?
6. What type of organizational design will you implement and why?

The slides should be bullet points and clear to the points (with some pictures). But the speaker note should have all the information (as I will speak with the note)

Develop a project plan that will allow production to continue while the movement of machines and staff into their new locations is taking place.

Unit 8 Discussion OM

The CEO of Kibby and Strand recently signed a contract with Amazon to market and distribute some of its products. As a result, the CEO decided to build a new addition to the current building to accommodate the need for more shipping dock space. Shipping will move to the new addition and Production will expand into the space Shipping currently uses.

You are the Operations Manager, and the CEO has tasked you to come up with a project plan for moving the Shipping Department to the new addition and expanding the Production Department into Shipping’s old space. Your guidance is, “come up with a plan to shift move Shipping to the new addition and expand production capacity using Shipping’s current space with minimal impact to operations. We need to meet our contractual deadlines.” You are told that you will be able to buy new machines for production’s increasing capacity, but the current machines in the production department will still be used. In other words, you can’t throw away the existing machines in production.

Develop a project plan that will allow production to continue while the movement of machines and staff into their new locations is taking place. The plan needs to list assumptions, constraints, and a network diagram for the move. Also, identify the critical path in your plan and its length in days.

Identify the problem you wish to work on. Describe the problem as you now see it.

/in /by

Program eleven

In this program eleven separate steps are presented, each of which ­contains a complete and separate idea, question, or instruction.

  1. Identify the problem you wish to work on. Describe the problem as you now see it.
  2. Most problem statements can be rephrased so that they describe two things:

The situation as it is now.

The situation as you would like it to be (the ideal).

Restate your problem situation

  1. It is useful to analyze a problem by making lists of the helping and restraining forces affecting a situation. Think about these now and list them. Be sure to list as many as you can
  2. there may be two or three helping forces and two or three restraining forces that are particularly important, underline them
  3. Now, for each restraining force you have underlined, list some possible courses of action you might be able to plan and carry out to reduce the effect of the force or to eliminate it completely.

6.Now do the same with each helping force you underlined. List all the action steps that come to mind that would increase the effect of each helping force.

  1. You now have listed action steps to change the key forces affecting your problem situation. Review these possible action steps, and underline those that seem promising.
  2. List the steps you have underlined. Then for each action step list the materials, people, and other resources available to you for carrying out the action.
  3. add any new steps and resources that will round out the plan, and think about a possible sequence of action
  4. Plan a way of evaluating the effectiveness of your action program as it is implemented. Think about this now, and list the evaluation procedures you will use.

11.Additional questions students will address include:

[1] leadership style used,

[2] your projected effect on the team at the implementation stage,

[3] which external stakeholders might be affected,

[4] if your solution to be implemented may have been different if involving your team, and

[5] if another business has been faced with the problem you are solving, whereas you considered the results it experienced

 

Identify the key stakeholders (internal and external) relevant to the planned change effort and their respective interests vis-à-vis the change. Summarize the planned change with a list of the most significant helping and hindering factors relevant to the change initiative.

Module 7: Implementation Analysis

Module Goals

After completing this module, students will be able to do the following:

  • Identify the key stakeholders (internal and external) relevant to the planned change effort and their respective interests vis-à-vis the change.
  • Summarize the planned change with a list of the most significant helping and hindering factors relevant to the change initiative.
  • Develop a set of recommendations to be used in the final deliverable.
  • Continue to evolve the project documentation efficiently recording information in your analysis and moving towards the final project submission

Overview

This portion of the analysis identifies important implementation dynamics often relating to key stakeholders (internal and external) who can profoundly affect the implementation of the change or other issues of organizational alignment required for success. Emphasis is placed upon understanding the conflicting interests of various stakeholder groups, including regulatory bodies, disaffected employees or other organizational divisions, supply chain partners, competitors, and other extant stakeholder interest groups.

Needless to say, the focus will vary greatly depending upon the project type. Nevertheless, the overall point of such an analysis is to provide guidance to those who would negotiate, lead, motivate, and otherwise collaborate with key stakeholders who, in turn, will have a huge impact on the success or failure of your recommendations.

Goals Alignment  

  • University Mission Based Outcomes – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
  • Program Learning Goals – 1, 2, 3, 4
  • Course Learning Objectives – 1, 2, 3, 5

Additional Resources

Discussion Question:

Identify the ethical perspectives in your analysis & recommendations. How did you resolve the stakeholder issues discovered in the change recommendations? Review posts by your cohort to see if anyone else is interested in your topic and what resources they might have to help you succeed.

Ford: An Auto Company in Transition

Purpose

The individual written case analysis exercise is meant to assess:
1. Your critical thinking
2. Your understanding of businesses as interdisciplinary units
3. Your problem solving and decisional abilities, and
4. Your effective communication and writing skills
5. Your core business knowledge

To this end, students will be required to individually analyze a case and submit a written report for evaluation by the due date indicated in the syllabus.

Assignment

You have been hired as a consultant to help Ford Motor Company return to its glory days, when either Henry Ford or Alan Mulally ran the company. In doing so, you must produce a short report to Jim Hackett, Ford’s CEO, that conveys your observations of Ford’s current situation (situational analysis), and a proposal of strategic actions Ford should take to be the model automotive company of the 21st century. Thus, you task is to answer the following questions based solely on the information provided in the case:

1. Perform an analysis of Ford’s external and internal environments. As you do this, make sure you organize your response by classifying external trends as opportunities and threats, and by classifying Ford’s internal environment as strengths and weaknesses. Because of the length of the report, select the most salient issues in your eyes. In addition, you must include at least three functional areas/value chain activities in your analysis of Ford’s internal environment (e.g., operations, marketing, and finance), and you must include issues regarding Ford’s financial situation.

2. Based on the external challenges (threats), positive external trends (opportunities), Ford’s limitations (weaknesses), and Ford’s strong suits (strengths) identified in point #1, provide 4 strategic suggestions for Ford’s executives to implement. In other words, combine opportunities/threats you identified, with Ford’s strengths/weaknesses in order to make suggestions on what decisions CEO Hackett needs to make. In your response, make sure you include both strategic actions related to business level strategy (how to compete) and corporate -level strategy (where to compete). Provide strong rationale for your choices.

Expectations

The analysis of the case should reflect both your understanding of the material covered in the text as well as other insights you have gained from other functional area courses. You are encouraged to approach the case with an integrated multi-functional perspective of the organization and to explicate recommendations clearly and concisely in writing. There are multiple possible answers to the questions provided. Use the critical thinking and problem solving skills you have developed through your university career.

Individual case analysis write-ups should be well thought out and not trivial. Answers should stick to the facts in the case and analysis. Provide strong reasoning and evidence from the case.

All individual case analysis reports are due through the Assignments tab on Canvas. All case reports will be put through Unicheck, a plagiarism tool. The expectation is that you submit your own work. Any plagiriasm will be punished to the greatest extent. If your analysis is found to be a copy of someone else’s work, you will earn a ZERO in your individual case analysis grade and you will be sent to the Office of Student Conduct.

Format

The case analysis report should be prepared using single-space, Times New Roman 12-point font, and a 1-inch all-around margin. The case analysis report should be 3 pages or less in length.

Please provide a cover page (not counted in the 3 pages) with your name, the title of the case, the name of the course, the course section, and the date.

Any direct quotes form the case should appear in quotes and the page number should appear in parenthesis.

Creating sustainable business

Write a report for the board (or for a relevant board director, business unit head or other executive) proposing a sustainable innovation for your organisation (or another organisation of your choice).

The report should have two main parts:

Part 1: A review of the strategic context for the innovation (about 40% of report length; 40% of marks), describing how sustainability is (or might be) included within the business strategy. This may draw on tools from the module such as business purpose, the SDGs, a materiality matrix, and any relevant goals/metrics.

Part 2: Your proposed innovation (about 60% of report length; 60% of marks). It may be of any type (e.g. product, service, business process, business model). Describe your proposed innovation and how it would create social, environmental, and/or economic value. Discuss implementation considerations: for example, you may wish to discuss whether collaborators are needed to generate the innovation, and the involvement of customers and/or other stakeholders. A full business plan is not required; rather, your report should focus on the rationale and seek approval in order to proceed to full plan development.
