Three salespeople will report to the sales manager.
Action Plan for Selection
To have a successful workplace planning system, the action plan will outline the recruitment,
selection, training, placement, promotion, development, and compensation of employees (Cascio,
2006). Ten employees are reviewed to join the new merged sales team. The salespeople from
InterClean are experienced in selling products whereas the sales people from EnviroTech are
experienced in providing full–service cleaning solutions. I will formulate a talent inventory for each
employee and determine who already has the skills, abilities, and experience, and who will need
additional training and development for the sales team. I am responsible for developing the
compensation and benefits plan to reward their successes. I will determine the employees who may
qualify for promotions or may want a transfer to another position.

Reflective Reflection On Reflective Learning
Introduction
Reflective learning is one of the best learning styles. It enables to link theory to practice and draw a
clear link between the efforts someone put into his/her development and the benefits get out of it.
Consequently, I, as a student who follows an industrial based degree programme, present my
reflective thoughts on learning grasped throughout the module of SPG8015– Introduction to
Enterprise and Entrepreneurship in Science and Engineering in this report.
1.0 The Practice of Reflective Learning

They are the four main characteristics which keep an entrepreneur elevated from an ordinary owner
manager. In addition to them, I found some more behaviours, skills and attributes that a person
should possess as an entrepreneur. They can be shown as in Table 1.
When I was learning these behaviours, skills and attributes, one question that I asked from myself
was, "Do I possess these characteristics?". It made me to do a self–analysis. Accordingly, I stepped
back to my past to discover my personal tendency to become an entrepreneur.
Though I have not engaged in an enterprise or enterprise related activity earlier, I found certain
entrepreneurial characteristics inside me. For an instance, the decision making ability under
uncertainty can be shown. Studying in UK was a decision taken under an uncertainty following few
sacrifices.

E Commerce : Its Impact Upon Many Industry Sectors
MAP Project Background In recent years, e–Commerce has had a profound and irreversible impact
upon many industry sectors. We've seen the likes of Amazon and Netflix emerge and eliminate their
established competitors. This disruptive market force is now beginning to re–shape the Grocery
Retail landscape, and rapid change is well underway. Although Kellogg has been working with e–
Retailers for several years, their efforts have been ad hoc, lacking a clear growth strategy, resulting
in underleveraged programs. In 2013, Kellogg sharpened their focus by undertaking an initiative to
quantify the size and value of the opportunity, and established a clear roadmap and organizational
structure. Along the way, they took note of the impact that subscription models have had upon other
sectors, and how this behavior is readily transferable to the replenishment buying cycles within
Grocery. Kellogg believe that a significant opportunity exists; however, the potential impact was yet
to be quantified. Problem Statement and Project Scope The Kellogg Company tasked our MAP team
to assess the performance of their Kashi and Special K brands on Amazon and determine the optimal
growth strategy to build revenue and market share via the Subscribe and Save program. Kellogg,
Amazon and industry analysts anticipate that the grocery ecommerce will grow rapidly and perhaps

Whether big or small, regardless of their type of field, industry, or desired market, businesses
everywhere are now beginning to realize that by empowering their staff, and instilling drive,
passion, motivation, and other essential personal values into them, oftentimes by being a shining
example of those values yourself as their business leader, you can guide your staff towards bringing
about better results for your business, making more progress for your business, and altogether
developing your business into a more successful model.
Now more than ever, personal development is key to helping business development in today?s
highly competitive and digitalized corporate landscape. Previously, around fifty or so years ago, the
corporate landscape was much less competitive?and much less empowering. When an entrepreneur
or a business leader wanted to see an increase in results for their company, they simply hired more
workers to a single shift to add more units and up productivity, which would then hopefully get the
number of results the entrepreneur or business leader was looking for. When a worker was slowing
down the whole team?s productivity or progress, or not doing enough to meet the company?s goals
set by the entrepreneur and business leader, then all the entrepreneur or business leader would do
typically would be to bring them into their office and tell them to do a better job and work harder or

While Vyas primary concentration is the technological aspect of developing the product, Cynthia is
concerned about ensuring market for the product (Frame,p, 114).
SWOT Analysis (Dyson, p, 631–640) The strength of the unit is based on the fact that the company
is built on an innovative and entrepreneurial culture with a decentralized management philosophy
with Knowledge sharing and dissemination as a key part of Art's business philosophy. Despite the
high level of decentralization and profit accountability, technology and human capital were both
widely shared among divisions. The company also moved quickly to bring products to market. An
idea which showed promise was funded as funds were always available for small beta batch
productions. This allowed market testing to achieve proof of concept within ART. Investment funds
were readily available to fund an investment once an innovation has been approved. The weakness
of the filtration business of ART is that it has experienced two failures in the launch of its high
profile new product which attempted to develop next generation of products and technologies. These
failures have made the filtration business unit lose its confidence. The unit which was acquired in

Chief Learning Officer Magazine: Leadership Development
What is leadership development? Chief Learning Officer Magazine states that leadership
development expands the capacity of individuals to perform in leadership roles within organizations.
Leadership roles are those that facilitate execution of a company's strategy through building
alignment, winning mindshare and growing the capabilities of others. Leadership roles may be
formal with the corresponding authority to make decisions and take responsibility. Or they may be
informal roles with little official authority a member of a team who influences team engagement,
purpose and direction; a lateral peer who must listen and negotiate through influence.
Too many business leaders today are out of touch with the employees they lead despite the fact that
billions are spent every year on leadership development. Part of the problem is our primary method
of developing leaders is out dated to the type of leadership we need. Training focuses on best

As for the norming stage, it was completely blunder since no detail discussion on goals, norms and

argumentation and unhealthy conflict between the co–founders and the HBS students while the other

It is very possible for team members to lose sight of their roles and responsibilities during a project.
It is the responsibility of the Project Manager to develop a decision–making structure that includes
each team member's responsibilities to the project. Not meeting deadlines has strong potential to
derail a project. One way to mitigate the risk of missing a deadline is to divide the project into
segments and assign team members deadlines for their part of the project. Another potential obstacle
will occur if the telehealth product design is changed during the project. On way to mitigate the risk

eam building programmes can help your business by improving the communication, levels of trust
and general understanding between the members of a team. They can also help you to solve
problems or to improve planning within the team as a whole. They can also help individuals to
understand group dynamics and their individual skills and how they fit into the team and their
understanding of their place within the organisation.
It is important when thinking about creating a team building experience for a team in your
organisation that you plan it carefully. A negative experience can irreparably damage your team's
morale and have the opposite effect that you were hoping to create. If you have no in–house
expertise in this area it may be worth calling in the experts. Depending on your budget and/or plans
this could involve someone offering an initial consultancy through to designing and administering a
bespoke programme for you. One of the benefits of working with a facilitator for your team building
is that they have experience of using a range of recognised diagnostic tools and instruments. This
means that you can be confident that your team building experience is a positive one and meets all
of your chosen objectives and makes a positive contribution to your business' performance. ... Show

Effective Leadership For A Positive Change Agent
Effective leadership begins with the ability to be a positive change agent. This can be observed
through the review of workplace changes at Wet n Wild Sydney in relation to Rosabeth Moss
Kanter's paper 'Leadership for change: Enduring skills for change masters' (Kanter, 2005).
The skills of a positive change agent are described in detail by Kanter and are vital to becoming a
positive change master. There are three phases of change projects according to Kanter. The first
phase, generating ideas, involves skills such as sensing needs and opportunities for change and using
kaleidoscope thinking to assess all solutions to a problem 'by changing the angle on the
kaleidoscope' (Kanter, 2005, p. 3). The second phase of a change project is trying to sell ideas, this
is achieved through moulding ideas into a theme as well as enlisting the support of backers to help
ensure the project can get moving. The third phase involves developing and implementing ideas.
This is accomplished by developing the dream 'There are two parts of this job: team–building and
team–nurturing' (Kanter, 2005, p. 9). It also crucial for a change agent to persist and preserve to get
over any obstacles. The final critical skill of change project consists of celebrating accomplishments.

Why Work Teams Don't Work
Why Work Teams Aren't Allows Effective'' Teams have become a mainstay in the way America does
business. Teams started as social–technical–business experiments and have since vaulted their way
into the American business environment. Led by Deming's Total Quality Management movement
the development of teams has become the standard acceptable structure for a majority of
organizations today. Throughout my work experience and my university based education the
concepts and theories about the use and need for teams have been stressed. Personally, my position
of the use of work teams, based on my personal experiences t is that most organizations should

idea of using and developing work teams. I sometimes feel that universities feel that the idea of
developing work teams in the only and best way to tap the human capital in an organization. Quite
often these classes even incorporate the use of team based assignments. This would be demonstrated
by every graduate school class for which I have taken at Roosevelt University, in its Master's in
Human Resource Management program. Each class has included at least one team project. In fact it
seems that all of my classes used a group project as the final project in all of these classes. In fact
every class covered the need for developing teams in the workplace. From my personal experience
at Roosevelt University, I found that about three out of approximately 5 members of a team did most
of the work. Often several team members would ride the coat tails of the other members. In an

A Business Plan For A Team
Introduction Every new business commences with a concept or thought or an idea. For instance, an
entrepreneur may be knowledgeable and passionate about something, or maybe there is an urge to
fill a gap in the marketplace and therefore turn the thought into a business. In order to make this
business idea work perfectly, it is necessary to carry out market research, write a business plan
including realistic projections, target the right market and prospects and develop an effective team to
support. A team is a group of individual coming together so as to achieve a common goal. However
there are different types of a team member that are essential in creating a new entrepreneurial
venture, such as the shapers, chairperson, monitor–evaluator, company worker, team worker, et al.

Time Management Reflection
There are three things in running my unit that affects my team's success: my managerial
effectiveness, inspiring others, and developing leadership in employees. 1. Developing Managerial
Effectiveness is the challenge of developing the relevant skills – such as time–management,
prioritization, strategic thinking, decision–making, and getting up to speed with the job – to be more
effective at work. 2. Inspiring others is the challenge of inspiring or motivating others to ensure they
are satisfied with their jobs and working smarter. 3. Developing Employees is the challenge of
developing others, including mentoring and coaching. I may not have the same challenges of other
company leaders but these three in my service at Villanova seem to be the most effect on my
workday. I have the unique opportunity to have the job on campus that incorporates the tasks that

Additionally, in an effort to be effective, understanding that as CIO, working with and managing
different 'generations' is an advantage. Having the ability to manage a diverse group of individuals
who have different expectations of technology, is a skill set that will set any leader apart from its
peers. The CIO's team will embrace lean IT roles that make it easy to adopt new technologies in the
future. The CIO will set the policies, the architecture, and the standards for the organization. As the
CIO, developing infrastructure sourcing, security and risk management, and financial measurement
are all key roles in organizing the team. In addition, as the CIO, establishing a governance model
will ensure that not only is the business running as it should be, but also adapting as needed. For
instance, the executive board (VP level), will meet at least quarterly to set the direction of the
business, its scope, and big picture expectations. The management board will oversee business

My Life And Building Leadership Qualities
I grew up in a family of Indian railway employees. Along with a railway job my father used to serve
in the Territorial Army. I learned from my father about the discipline, leadership, and commitment
needed to serve the country. At the age of 12, I joined the Bharat Scouts and Guides to achieve
physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential as an individual. From being a boy scout, I grew
up in the ranks over the years to scout leader. During my last year of high school, I became the
school captain, planning and leading the school day–to–day student activities. During the same time,
as a captain, I lead my school team to a district level cricket championship. I enjoyed my entire
school journey learning and building leadership qualities. My urge for community service led me to

Commanding Officer of NCC 2(A) Compo Tech Regiment, a wing of Indian army in
Visakhapatnam. After my brief interaction with him, I felt that joining National Cadet Crops (NCC)
would further strengthen my leadership skills and give me an opportunity to serve the community.

Decision making process depends on the trust build between members of the team. In the absence of
trust, members will always be suspicious of decisions or suggestions made by other members of the

Teamwork and creativity among employees also play a major role in the decision making process.
To begin with teamwork, members ought to be in unison and direct all their efforts, knowledge and
skills towards achieving specific goals set by management. The process of bringing this team
together involves various business decisions which require teamwork. All members of the team for

What Is Long Term Growth In A City
Designing a layout for a brand new city being developed would have its difficulties but would all be

different than developing a city in the mountains with reference to reducing traffic within the central

transit options. I believe that long term growth in a city along the coastline has the opportunity to be
more prosperous and effective in reducing traffic in the central business district than a city in any
other geographic location. Most major cities have sport teams for baseball, basketball, football and
soccer and a majority of these teams play their games in an arena located within their given central
business district. These teams generate billions of dollars of revenue for not only their organization,

In addition to them, I found some more behaviours, skills and attributes that a person should possess as an entrepreneur. They can be shown as in Table 1.

We've seen the likes of Amazon and Netflix emerge and eliminate their established competitors. This disruptive market force is now beginning to re–shape the Grocery Retail landscape, and rapid change is well underway.

Kellogg believe that a significant opportunity exists; however, the potential impact was yet to be quantified. Problem Statement and Project Scope The Kellogg Company tasked our MAP team to assess the performance of their Kashi and Special K brands on Amazon and determine the optimal growth strategy to build revenue and market share via the Subscribe and Save program.

When an entrepreneur or a business leader wanted to see an increase in results for their company, they simply hired more workers to a single shift to add more units and up productivity, which would then hopefully get the number of results the entrepreneur or business leader was looking for. When a worker was slowing down the whole team?s productivity or progress, or not doing enough to meet the company?s goals set by the entrepreneur and business leader, then all the entrepreneur or business leader would do typically would be to bring them into their office and tell them to do a better job and work harder or find another way of paying the bills ...

While Vyas primary concentration is the technological aspect of developing the product, Cynthia is concerned about ensuring market for the product (Frame,p, 114). SWOT Analysis (Dyson, p, 631–640) The strength of the unit is based on the fact that the company is built on an innovative and entrepreneurial culture with a decentralized management philosophy with Knowledge sharing and dissemination as a key part of Art's business philosophy. Despite the high level of decentralization and profit accountability, technology and human capital were both widely shared among divisions. The company also moved quickly to bring products to market. An idea which showed promise was funded as funds were always available for small beta batch productions. This allowed market testing to achieve proof of concept within ART. Investment funds were readily available to fund an investment once an innovation has been approved. The weakness of the filtration business of ART is that it has experienced two failures in the launch of its high profile new product which attempted to develop next generation of products and technologies. These failures have made the filtration business unit lose its confidence. The unit which was acquired in 1996 was making $6million annually by 2006.

Chief Learning Officer Magazine states that leadership development expands the capacity of individuals to perform in leadership roles within organizations.

This can be observed through the review of workplace changes at Wet n Wild Sydney in relation to Rosabeth Moss Kanter's paper 'Leadership for change: Enduring skills for change masters' (Kanter, 2005). The skills of a positive change agent are described in detail by Kanter and are vital to becoming a positive change master. There are three phases of change projects according to Kanter. The first phase, generating ideas, involves skills such as sensing needs and opportunities for change and using kaleidoscope thinking to assess all solutions to a problem 'by changing the angle on the kaleidoscope' (Kanter, 2005, p. 3). The second phase of a change project is trying to sell ideas, this is achieved through moulding ideas into a theme as well as enlisting the support of backers to help ensure the project can get moving. The third phase involves developing and implementing ideas. This is accomplished by developing the dream 'There are two parts of this job: team–building and team–nurturing' (Kanter, 2005, p. 9). It also crucial for a change agent to persist and preserve to get over any obstacles. The final critical skill of change project consists of celebrating accomplishments.

I sometimes feel that universities feel that the idea of developing work teams in the only and best way to tap the human capital in an organization. Quite often these classes even incorporate the use of team based assignments. This would be demonstrated by every graduate school class for which I have taken at Roosevelt University, in its Master's in Human Resource Management program.

Developing Managerial Effectiveness is the challenge of developing the relevant skills – such as time–management, prioritization, strategic thinking, decision–making, and getting up to speed with the job – to be more effective at work. 2. Inspiring others is the challenge of inspiring or motivating others to ensure they are satisfied with their jobs and working smarter. 3.
