properly these last prior weeks. The system worked for many of
the submissions for week 5. Please do not copy material and not
cite your sources correctly. Please understand the differences
between citing direct quotes and paraphrasing. Please do not
get another students paper and use it. Please do not copy
material from the web. The system will catch you. I am
supposed to turn these submissions into the university for
evaluation, when the system tells me to do so and if cited for a
violation is entered into your record. Please do not copy

This last submission is critical. Please do not get a zero on it

Learning Outcomes
This week students will:
Describe the difference between data and knowledge in terms of
the executive information system (EIS).
Analyze
the four step
s in the control process as it relates to the six elements of input.
Develop an organizational plan.
Introduction
For Week Six, the focus will be the six elements of
organizational input (mission statement, strategic plans, tactical
plans, past experience, feedback from external environment, and
control system design), and how each of these elements

3. influences the four steps of the organizational control process.
This week’s content will also explore the difference between
data and knowledge in terms of the executive information
system (EIS) and how the executive manager can use the EIS to
make effective decisions and develop organizational strategy.
Instructor Guidance
A Complete Paradigm Shift (Leadership and Power)
I peruse YouTube frequently and look for business related
topics and discussions. I happened to come across this
particular video a while back and really thought it should be the
focal point of my last guidance for our class.
I believe that in today’s business environment, corporations and
leaders need to rethink their business approaches, models,
theories and strategies.
Leaders are currently operating under a paradigm of what is in
it for me syndrome and focused on short term profits and
returns for stakeholders
. This business model is leader driven and places no real true
value on employees outside of being used and abused to
accomplish business objectives.
Fortunately we are now starting to see a major shift from
operating under this type of business strategy and leadership

4. perspective into a new paradigm now focused on a mission
driven and value based philosophy.
This new concept is focused on what is best for the world rather
than the organization at that moment in time.
Also, the traditional leader-follower business model is being
torn down and reestablished.
There are two mental models and approaches:
1. One outside mental set states that I do something to get
something—old paradigm.
2. I do something to grow my own capacity and the capacity of
the community and global
environment—a growth mind set.
Establishing a new culture with leadership that operates under a
growth mind set is a new paradigm shift. Some major
corporations such as Pepsi Cola are operating under this new
paradigm and innovative way of thinking with respect to a
culture based on values and a growth mind set. These are
becoming the best corporations to work for and are attracting
the best talent because of this business strategy and model
based on a values driven culture. The new business model is
being changed with the power being invested in the followers
and focusing on long term sustainable results with the

5. stakeholders’ best interest in mind rather than short term
profits. In my opinion, this entire approach allows for a more
global perspective and increases the opportunity for better
margins and more satisfied employees.
Take some time and look at this nine plus minute video
. Reflect back throughout the last five weeks of this class and
what you have learned. Think about the theories and the
changes that have occurred as the literature based was expanded
upon. We are facing some significant economic issues and our
government and our corporations need to be managed
differently. This is the beginning of a new paradigm and YOU
can become a calylist.
