/in /by

Here’s the Instructions from Georgina Whyatt for the End of Term Paper:  Managing the implementation of a ‘Marketing our Co-operative Advantage’ (MOCA) Strategy at Co-operators Group Limited

The marketplace interest in societal contribution and social responsibility continues to expand; therefore, the reasons for investing in the implementation of a ‘Marketing our Co-operative Advantage’ (MOCA) strategy are strengthening.   This essay asks you to consider the activities that ensure the implementation of a ‘Marketing our Co-operative Advantage’ (MOCA) strategy is successful in Co-operators Group Limited.

Co-operators Group Limited is a large Canadian co-operative offering insurance and financial services to Canada.  Co-operators Group Limited it is owned by 46 Canadian co-operatives, who are true to the co-operative character by upholding the co-operative values and principles as defined by the International Co-operative Alliance.

The international co-operative identity, values and principles:  https://www.ica.coop/en/cooperatives/cooperative-identity.

Co-operators Group Limited operates its financial services through 15 subsidiary companies and is the 6th largest insurer in Canada with over 5500 employees.

https://www.cooperators.ca/en/About-Us/why-coops-are-better.aspx.

This requires you: (i) to explain what Co-operators Group Limited does in this area, (ii) to critically evaluate their practice, and (iii) to make recommendations to Co-operators Group Limited.  Use the literature to justify your comments and claims.

In the Bhattacharya (2016) article, Figure 4 is titled ‘4Cs for Making CSR Activities Successful’.  According to Bhattachrya (2016), these 4Cs are:

  1. Co-creation
  2. Commitment
  3. Calibration
  4. Communication

Please use the 4Cs Model as a framework for your report and consider the actions of Co-operators Group Limited under each of the 4Cs headings.

Co-create:  How does Co-operators Group Limited co-create social, environmental value with / for its member or customers, which builds feelings of loyalty?  How well does Co-operators Group Limited integrate their sustainability efforts into marketing and business strategy, to co-create value for members and customers?  How can this be improved in your co-operative?   See “Co-creation and Calibration at Co-operators Group”.  “Co-operators 2018 Integrated Report, in particular pages 40-55 and pages 74-75”.  See “Co-operators Strategic Plan 2019-2022.  See “Co-operators Marketing Personas”

Commitment:  How committed are employees to the MOCA strategy at Co-operators Group Limited?  What is employees level of understanding of Co-operators’ MOCA strategy?  What needs to be done to improve this? See “Commitment at Co-operators Group”.  See Pages 58-65 in “Co-operators 2018 Integrated Report”

Calibration: How is MOCA, and other marketing successes measured? What objectives and KPIs are used?  How do these measures create benchmarks that drive the right behaviours for MOCA? How can these measures or benchmarks be improved to ensure a ‘Marketing our Co-operative Advantage’ (MOCA) strategy is delivered?  See the “Co-operators 2018 Integrated Report”.

Communication: How does Co-operators Group Limited communicate its co-operative values, character and ethos to customers?  To members? To employees?  What media are used?  How can this be improved? See “Co-operators Marketing Personas”.   See “Commitment at Co-operators Group”.    See www.cooperators.ca.    See https://www.facebook.com/TheCooperatorsInsurance. 

It is important that you discuss:

  • what your co-op currently does (in terms of Bhattacharya’s (2016) 4Cs),
  • where this works well, and
  • where you see shortfalls, and
  • explain how you believe this can be improved (i.e. make recommendations and justify them).

Share your views on using this model as a potential guide for Marketing our Co-operative Advantage (MOCA) implementation with The Co-operators Group Limited.

Make recommendations and justify these by drawing on: the literature in this course (5240), your observations, and data sets available to you. These data sets could, for example, be internal and available from your co-op, generally available externally, or drawn from the on-line discussion in your study groups.

Even though it was not developed specifically for co-operatives, do you think the Bhattacharya (2016) 4Cs model is suitable for co-operatives and the implementation of a ‘Marketing our Co-operative Advantage’ (MOCA) strategy?  What would you suggest as changes to the 4Cs model for to enable co-operatives to use as a guide for MOCA implementation?

MSc Project Management PRISM2 Assignment 2019-2020 Weight 80%

This assignment has one artifact A justified research methodology proposal of 2,500 words

Learning Outcomes

1. Select and use appropriate structured project analysis and research approaches to identify, justify, analyze and diagnose a research problem and develop a research question.

2. Evaluate existing literature to appreciate existing results and methods to identify suitable research methods and their effectiveness for investigating a chosen research topic.

3. Situate a research problem within a wider strategic project management context to demonstrate the significance of the research question.

4. Synthesize project methods and research methods together as a detailed research proposal that justifies the choice and significance of a research topic and the methods available for contributing towards a solution

This assignment weight is 80% of the overall unit mark.

Submit a 2,500 word detailed research proposal fully justified.

In this coursework, you need to choose a research topic and then develop a research proposal

Choosing a research topic for your coursework. Clearly, you are approaching the stage of needing to think about your dissertation. You are therefore strongly advised to base this coursework on your forthcoming dissertation topic that must in the project management context. Design a succinct research proposal for your chosen topic using appropriate methodology and justification of your choices. Going down through each layer of Saunders et al.’s (2016 or earlier) ‘Research Onion’, write a justification and critical evaluation of your research proposal (drawing on a wide range of research methodology literature).
Having chosen a research topic, you should complete the following parts:
1. Introduction a. Provide a title and background • Background: a brief overview of the topic or problem, including your motivation for selection of this research topic, a brief literature review, drawing on some key pieces of topic-related literature, explain why researching the topic or problem is important using knowledge and understanding of key theories/models from Project Management or related domains. OPTIONAL (For grades 70 and above): In addition to this you can provide a table in the Appendix summarizing at least 7-10 sources that your research will draw on to justify your research context and design decisions. The table should have columns for aims/objectives of paper, topics discussed and any areas identified for future research. Based on this table, you can present the possible area that your research will face based on a gap or suggestion in existing literature. An example is in enclosed in the folder

b. Overall research question(s), aim(s) and objective(s): these should be clear, succinct and specific. They should also be related to Project Management. A diagram of the conceptual or theoretical framework which shows the relationship between concepts.
2. Methodology a. Philosophical position b. Methodology (survey, case study …) and the reason why this methodology is suitable for this research c. A clear and suitable sampling method. d. A clear and suitable data collection method (including administration, including instrument design and a list of interview questions or an example of a questionnaire). e. A clear and suitable explanation of how the data will be analysed.

3. Critical evaluation Going down through each layer of Saunders et al.’s (2019 or earlier) ‘Research Onion’, write a critical evaluation of your research proposal developed (drawing on a wide range of research methodology literature). As a result you should state based on your critique, why your approach is the most suitable approach for your chosen research topic and why other approach(es) are NOT suitable. This may be the quantitative or qualitative approach, you must decide and defend your choice. Remember you need to justify all the steps, eg. why have you chosen this specific methodology and data collection tool? Why they are appropriate for addressing your research question and research problem? PRISM1 asked for a general indication of your method, so this is the opportunity to give a detailed justification and demonstrate your application of deeper levels of critical ability applied to research design.
N.B. For parts 3 & 4 you should use between 5 – 7 research method sources.
Important note: you must NOT actually collect or analyze any data for this coursework.
– this is just the proposal stage where you set out how you plan to collect and analyze the data.

The general guidelines for marking this piece are given below – this will give you an indication of the weighting applied to each part (which will also guide you in terms of the word count for each part).

Additional information
1. The maximum word count is 2,500 words. This is a maximum, not a target.

2. Structure your report. Include a title page with the unit title, report title, your student ID number. Use clear, numbered section headings. Include your student ID number and page number on each page. Include a title for every table or figure, along with a source (if you have not originally developed it). Ensure any figures or tables are clearly legible.

3. References must be given using the APA 6 style every time you mention a theory, or another person’s idea(s) – refer to and follow the School’s referencing guide. Be selective and only include material that is relevant to your case. Avoid (over) reliance on websites for your sources as they are rarely peer-reviewed and often contain errors. The reference list (ie. not a bibliography) should be sorted alphabetically by first author surname, do not separate out different types of sources (books, journals, etc) into different lists.

4. One of the key abilities developed through your Master’s course is in developing arguments for why other people should agree with your decisions to the point where they can consider it further for adoption. The PRISM assignments are not assessed on what your topic is (since everyone will have a different topic), but they are assessed on criteria such as how your use of evidence, your analysis of literature, and your reflection on your work build convincing and logical reasons to agree with you.

The following table indicates the likely weighting of marks for each section of the coursework.

ACC 201 Final Project II Guidelines and Rubric

Overview One of the measures of success for any business is profitability. Managers and business owners must be able to assess the profitability of a company using information about its financial transactions: This is done through accounting. By working through the accounting cycle, you will understand how to organize transactions in a way that communicates the financial position of a company. This information is critical for external stakeholders who may be interested in working for or investing in the business. This process also helps you understand the level of attention to detail that is required in a successful business venture.

The final project for this course consists of two major parts: an accounting workbook (Final Project I) and a professional relevance essay (Final Project II). In the second part of the final project, you will create a well-crafted essay in which you draw connections between your accounting exercises and their practical applications for furthering your own professional practice.

The final product will be submitted in Module Eight.

In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:

 Record financial data and adjusting entries in the preparation of a business’s financial statements Prompt In a professional relevance essay, draw connections between the accounting principles that you demonstrated in Final Project I and their specific, practical applications within your own professional practice. Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below. Most of the critical elements align with a particular course outcome (shown in brackets).

I. Introduction: Briefly describe your current or aspiring professional identity, including the field in which you work or hope to work. To what extent does (or will) financial accounting play a role in your day-to-day professional life? [ACC-201-01]

II. Draw Connections A. In the first part of your final project, you recorded various transactions in the life of a business. Now, consider your current or future professional life:

What sort of transactions would you encounter in your field?

Describe at least three using specific details. [ACC-201-01]

B. Analyze the relationship between those transactions and the success of your current or future business. For example, how would each transaction impact the income statement and balance sheet of your company? Illustrate your claims using specific examples. [ACC-201-01]

III. Apply to a Scenario: Imagine that you are the new department manager of a corporation within your chosen field: You discover that your predecessor had been using the cash basis of accounting, which has resulted in many errors and misinformation. What measures would you take to remediate the issue? Propose a high-level plan to implement a proper accounting system for your department using specific principles discussed in the course. For example, which financial statements would you investigate first? What sort of internal controls would you implement? [ACC-201-01]

Final Project II Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your professional relevance essay must be 2–4 pages in length (plus a cover page and references) and written in APA format: Use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. It is recommended that you use the provided template to ensure correct formatting. Include at least two references cited in APA format.

  1. Write in an accurate, clear, structured and coherent manner, within the appropriate standards of academic presentation, including referencing conventions.

The assignment is marked out of 100. You have to score at least 50/100 to pass at this Level.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT?

In order to address assessment criterion1:

You should discuss and critique some theory and demonstrate an understanding and critical overview of Inclusion.

The key discussion must relate to theory and research using academic reading. If you reference you school placement you should ensure that it is relevant, and is being used to exemplify or help explain what the research/ theory says.

In order to address assessment criteria 2 and 3:

These are identical for all assignments. You should know by now how to meet them. However, it seems necessary to stress again that:

  • You must use the APA referencing convention accurately
  • You MUST read again the guidance in the Rubric
  • What you write must be your own work

General Criteria:

  • Addresses task in a clear, structured, coherent manner
  • Demonstrates critical understanding of the concept of inclusion within education, including detailed knowledge of theoretical and political considerations and perspectives
  • Analyses the practical and professional implications of inclusion policies for the school system and for teachers, reflecting a high level of critical awareness in the discussion
  • Makes effective use of academic reading and other appropriate sources, including a wide range of research literature, to inform discussion and argument

Assessment Criteria:

For Assessment Criterion 1:

  1. You should make sure that you write about what theoreticians and researchers have to say about inclusion. You should make reference to an extensive range of reading
  2. You should show, by the way you analyze what you learned from your reading about assessment theory and research, that you know and understand the thinking behind the various theoretical perspectives that are out there
  3. You are able to make clear your critical understanding of that thinking by the way you state ideas, acknowledge where they came from, explain what you think they mean and challenge, using evidence from your reading, how valid they seem to be, especially where there is disagreement in the literature

For Assessment Criterion 2:

You’ll know your writing “supports and explores thinking, where appropriate, by use of references to; experience in your own school; issues covered in course classes; relevant material from core texts; course documentation and wider academic reading” if:

  1. You avoid making dogmatic, unsupported statements or assertions
  2. It is clear from what you write that you have used research literature, particularly academic journal articles
  3. You have acknowledged those sources that have influenced your thinking or, rarely, quoted directly from them. (Extensive quotation is not required and uses up valuable words)
  4. You have used APA conventions in your referencing

 

For Assessment Criterion 3:

You’ll know your assignment “is written in an accurate, clear, structured and coherent manner, within the appropriate standards of academic presentation, including referencing conventions” if:

  1. You organize your thinking in a logical way, perhaps using the bullet pointed assessment criteria above to provide a structure, but only if you wish to and only if it helps
  2. Your language conveys meaning clearly.
  3. Your ideas are well-linked, consistently using appropriate linkage devices
  4. You use mainly the third person.

Check basic literacy criteria such as:

Construct Personal Ethical Framework

Instructions

Reflect on and construct your core ethical framework and code of ethics in terms of those values/beliefs that are patently self-evident and will not change with time, context, circumstance, or external/internal demands. Include the following:

  • From your viewpoint, explain why violating any of these ideals would be considered unethical.
  • Research the six major value types identified by Psychologist Gordon Allport. Identify and discuss into what value orientation your core ethical framework values/beliefs are based.
  • Given your core ethical framework, explain how you can expand your adaptive capacity. Support your response with additional research.

Support your framework and code with at least five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Professional organizations expect employees to embrace ethical values such as integrity, honesty, fidelity, responsibility, and self-discipline. The best leaders exhibit these ethical values to provide inspiration to their team and build trust in the workplace, for it is through leaders modeling desired behaviors that expectations are further affirmed.

A code of ethics is broader than simply a list of acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. The code of ethics should reflect your philosophy about life and draw a connection between your values and how these inform your actions and decisions. The code should also speak to one’s philosophy. As you review and reflect on this week’s materials, you should be able to develop a code of ethics that will likely guide you in dealing with both personal and professional ethical situations.

Guidelines for Discussion Board1 (Read Down Below)

Good discussion posts: Are timely. The best messages in the world won’t do any good if they’re posted after the bulk of the discussion is over! Are well written. Take time to revise your post. If your post is too long or poorly constructed, it will most likely not be read or will cause your peers frustration while trying to read it. Are “on message.” Think through your messages in advance. Carefully read and consider the assignment, the discussion prompt, and your peers’ postings before you post a response. Are generous and respectful. Suggest resources or ideas that may help others in their learning. When disagreements arise, allow others the benefit of the doubt—value deeper insight and communication over trying to prove you are right. Stimulate thinking. Pose provocative questions, raise alternative viewpoints or explanations, and provide creative, breakthrough ideas. Are grounded in evidence. Make explicit connections between course concepts and readings, your firsthand experience, and the experiences of others in your cohort. Encourage others to provide evidence. Good follow-up messages ask peers to explain “why,” helping them clarify their thoughts, uncover inconsistencies or misconceptions, and take their understanding to a new level. Move the understanding of the class forward. Raise questions and encourage your peers to raise questions. Help your colleagues address questions. Good messages also create connections between course concepts and the thoughts and ideas of others.
