This document provides instructions for a case study analysis assignment. Students are asked to analyze a scenario about Recycled Furnishings, a company that makes outdoor furniture from recycled glass. The long-time shipping manager, Robert, is retiring. Students must identify the management theories that describe Robert's style when he started and after a shift in the late 1980s/early 1990s. They must also compare Robert's style to how they would manage as a 21st century manager taking his place. The assignment requires analyzing theories, comparing management approaches over time, and discussing implications for the company's future.
This document provides instructions for a case study analysis assignment. Students are asked to analyze a scenario about Recycled Furnishings, a company that makes furniture from recycled glass.

Individual Organisational Problem Analysis (40%)
1. Guidelines
Context
Locally, nationally and internationally, there are many organisations whose success or failure
has been determined at least in part by key organisational behaviour and people factors. Success
may not necessarily mean financial performance – it may mean that the organisation has
effectively managed a “turnaround” of some sort (for example, a major change to ‘go green’
following an environmental incident or to improve diversity following being labelled a biased
or discriminatory employer. Failure may not mean financial disaster – it may mean a loss of
trust with stakeholders, the presence of unethical behaviour or a damaging culture, or the loss
of key talent (employees) to competitors. There have been many examples in the media over
the last five years. For example, culture, leadership, and motivation and reward systems were
antecedents to Enron’s failure, which had severe consequences for its stakeholders.
Tasks
1. Choose a real case of an organisation that successfully (or otherwise less than
successfully) dealt with a particular problem or failure (must have occurred in the last 10
years) that has damaged the organisation in some way
2. Describe briefly what happened, the context, and the consequences for the organisation's
stakeholders
3. Pick one relevant analytical framework (e.g., SWOT, PESTEL or stakeholder analysis)
and provide a brief analysis of what happened
4. Building on the previous analysis, identify, analyse and discuss in more detail 2 to 3
organisational behaviour (OB) factors that contributed to the problem/failure. These may
be individual, group or organisational level factors
5. After having conducted the problem analysis, (a) describe what the organisation did to
achieve success or post-failure to address the problem and/or prevent a reoccurrence of the
problem, and (b) evaluate the effectiveness of the organisation’s response to the failure
2
6. After having evaluated the organisation’s response to the failure encountered, make
recommendations for what could have been done better and/or moving forward in
response to the OB issues identified in the beginning. In making these recommendations,
it is important to be pragmatic and specific (i.e. make recommendations that are viable and
within the organisation’s capacity to implement).
7. Referencing:
a) Include a minimum of 10 journal articles
b) Referencing has to adhere the Academy of Management referencing style
(note: the guideline is available on BlackBoard in the Assessment Section)
8. Writing a Report:
a) The report has to be 2500 words (+/- 10%). Assignments below/exceeding the
word limit in excess of 10% will be penalised.
b) Appendices and references are not included in the word count. However, you
cannot assume that appendicised materials will be read in detail
c) Please include a word count on th ...
Module 1 - SLPManaging Individual BehaviorThe SLP for this c.docxclairbycraft
Module 1 - SLP
Managing Individual Behavior
The SLP for this course involves making a personal assessment of a relevant set of skills, focusing on your strengths and identifying any weaknesses that may have been revealed. You will then be asked to create a plan by which you can "grow" your strengths and shore up your weaknesses. By the end of the project, you will have a personal management profile and action plan.
As we have discussed, your values and attitudes interact with your personality to create a strong effect on your work life. The fit between an individual's personality and a company's "style" is essential to job satisfaction. Someone who is risk-averse, for example, would probably be unhappy at 3M, a company with a reputation for innovation and risk-taking. Understanding the impact of your own personality on others helps you build productive work relationships with peers, subordinates, and bosses, alike.
Refer to the required and optional readings for this module, and any other readings which will help you in understanding personality styles and how they affect organizational effectiveness. Remember to follow Trident’s guidelines for masters-level writing. (See
The Student Guide to Writing a High-Quality Academic Paper
.)

Then review the pages on career choices, learning style and communication skills. Incorporate this information in formulating your responses to the questions below.
You will need to include the actual results in an appendix at the end of your paper. (Note: This appendix requirement will likely increase your paper’s Turnitin similarity score; your professor is aware of this.)
Prepare a 2- page essay that addresses the following:
How does my personality type affect my career and effectiveness at my job?
Refer to the required and optional readings for this module, and any other materials which will help you in understanding personality styles and how they affect organizational effectiveness. Bring in

Dental Hygiene 1 Informative Poster Research Paper Rubric for Evaluation (100 points poss.)
Qualities and C.
The document discusses authentic assessment in university classrooms. It defines authentic assessment as focusing on applying knowledge and skills learned in courses to real-world settings, such as simulations, role plays, or workplace assessments. Authentic tasks can help validate students' career choices and increase retention by engaging students. However, more traditional assessments like essays and exams measure skills like writing and memorization that have limited application to real work. While the academic essay is a commonly used university assessment, questions are raised about whether it validly and reliably measures learning outcomes or just writing abilities. Alternative assessments that better reflect real tasks are suggested to more authentically evaluate students' learning and skills.
Research Paper Using Word This assignment has two goals.docxaudeleypearl
Research Paper Using Word
This assignment has two goals: 1) have students, via research, increase their understanding of impacts of information
technology on current world issues, and 2) learn to correctly use the tools and techniques within Word to format a research
paper, including use of available References and citation tools. These skills will be valuable throughout a student’s
academic career.
The paper will require a title page, NO abstract, three to five full pages of content with incorporation of a minimum of 3
external resources from credible sources and a Works Cited/References page. Wikipedia and similar general information
sites, blogs or discussion groups are not considered creditable sources for a research project. No more than 10% of the
paper may be in the form of a direct citation from an external source. Choose your topic from the list of topics that follow
these organization steps.
Paper organization
Open Word and save a blank document with the following name:
“Student’s LastNameFirstInitial Research Paper”
The paper should be organized in the following way:
1. Title page:
a. Center in the middle of the page (horizontally and vertically) the title (subject) of the paper and below that
your name
2. Body of the paper:
a. Use 12-point Arial font
b. Set the margins at 1”
c. Length – 3-5 full pages, not counting the title page or the References page.
d. Include a minimum of 3 APA-formatted citations and related References page. Every reference must be cited
at least once, and every citation have an entry in the References list. If you are not familiar with APA format,
it is recommended that you use the References feature in Word for your citations and Reference List or refer
to the "Citing and Writing" option under the Resources/Library/Get Help area in the LEO classroom. It is
important to review the final format for APA-style correctness even if generated by Word.
e. Include at least two (2) informational footnotes. Footnotes are not used to list a reference! Footnotes contain
information about the topic to which the footnote has been attached.
f. Place the references on a separate page following the body of the paper. Note: Use a hard return (CTRL
Enter) after the end of your paper body and the start of the References page.
3. Organization of the content of the paper:
Include the following sections in the paper (include, in bold, the headings identified here):
a. Introduction - Identify the issue or idea. Explain why was the topic selected and what you are trying to
achieve (what is your end goal). The introduction should not be more than half a page; details will be
discussed in the follow-on areas.
b. Areas of interest, activity or issue – Define the issue or idea in greater detail. Define the specific problem
or problems or new idea. Identify other underlining or related issues as well as dependencies. Explain what
impacts will result if not addresse ...
Assignment The Role of the Leader PurposeStudents have learn.docxAMMY30
Assignment: The Role of the Leader
Purpose:
Students have learned about leaders and their role in the organization. They have been exposed to the idea that a leader is the social architect of the organization. Definitively, leaders are those members of the organization who create the flow of decision making and environment from which organizational goals and values are set forth. Social architects create vision, strategic direction, shape culture and values, and lead change. Leaders align the people’s behavior with the goals and direction of the organization.
Outcomes Met:
use leadership theories, assessment tools, and an understanding of the role of ethics, values, and attitudes to evaluate and enhance personal leadership skills
evaluate the culture and policies of an organization to recommend and implement improvements that support its vision, success, and sustainability
Perspective:
In this assessment, students will act as Joseph Dunn, the leader of Dunn’s Ski Emporium. Dunn want to purchase The Deli, so there is a lot of work to do before entering into the possible addition of a business that little is known about. Write from a leader’s perspective. So, you ask, “What it means to write from a leader’s perspective?”
Writing from the leader’s perspective means approach Dunn’s vision through a people centric viewpoint. Focus on how the two businesses will meet the vision through the decision making flow and grouping of people within the organizations. How does a leader best use the people to meet the vision? Even though it is tempting to write in the first person, a plan is written in the third person for which a story will unfold. Dunn is essentially telling a story of how he is going to purchase the Deli and bring George and the business in as part of the Dunn Ski Emporium. Dunn will need to figure out how he is going to combine these two businesses and use his leadership skills to do so. Remember, write from the leader’s perspective but do not attempt to solve problems but create and develop an environment in which problems will be resolved by those who make the business run.
Dunn plans on designing an organizational structure that fulfills his vision, one that he believes George has for The Deli, and one that will fulfill its mission. The organization must be open to change and possess a culture that empowers its employees to follow the vision created. Like all good social architects, the building must start with a design that suites the purpose of the business and seeks to make it the best building for the job. Students are expected to be creative but realistic in completing the assignment. For example, feel free to assign names and roles to the people in the business. In being creative, students may not change the facts in the plan. Dunn will present his ideas to George Atkins once Dunn sits down with him to begin negotiations, so be sure that the final product is polished. Also to make sure questions can easily be ...

25 January 2018
HW: Thesis Statement Prompt from Chapter One of Night
This assignment is due on February 5, 2018. You must compose your own work; do not copy another’s work.
Directions:
1. Read Chapter One of Night if you have not done so.
2. CHOOSE ONE prompt from the three prompts provided. Prompts One and Two are expository, and Prompt Three is a literary analysis prompt. The literary analysis prompt is an “uphill challenge”--go for it! :-)
3. Compose ONLY: the introductory paragraph and thesis statement. Your introductory paragraph should have a narrative hook and one short piece of background information. THE FINAL SENTENCE OF YOUR INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH SHOULD BE YOUR THESIS STATEMENT. An outline of your paragraph would look like this:
I. Introduction
A. Narrative hook
B. Background information
C. Thesis statement
For instance:
Many teenagers spend a lot of time contemplating what they want to do when they
graduate from high school. I am fortunate in that I already know; I decided to become a
veterinarian when I was two or three years old. A veterinarian practices veterinary medicine, or medicine “of, relating to, practicing, or being the science and art of prevention, cure, or alleviation of disease and injury in animals and especially domestic animals” (“veterinary”). Just like humans, animals need people to treat them with the respect and dignity they deserve, and I want to be one of those people. To prepare for my future as a veterinarian, I plan to attend college and veterinary school, learn about all species of animals, and learn the skills I need to help animals.
Your thesis statement must have one main point and two supporting points.
Prompt One:
Imagine that you are a townsperson listening to Moishe the Beadle’s story. Explain why you believe Moishe’s story to be false.
Prompt Two:
There were several opportunities for Wiesel and his family to escape before they were sent to Auschwitz. Explain what these opportunities were, and explain why the family did not take advantage of them.
Prompt Three:
Define irony, and discuss Wiesel’s use of irony in the first chapter of Night. What message is he trying to convey about the Jews’ attitude and how does his use of irony help him get his message across?

Leila is a police officer. She is out of uniform and knocked on Dan's front door of his house and asked if she could enter to enforce a warrant she had. The warrant was a search warrant issued by a magistrate at the Lawrence District Court. His name is Mark McCale, a retired police officer for the state police department in Lawrence. The warrant indicated that "the first floor of Dan's house will be searched for a gun used in connection with a robbery and some jewelry, which was stolen." While looking in Dan's house, Officer Leila smelled what she thought to be gun powder emanating from the second floor. Officer Leila immediately walked upstairs and found a gun at the tops of the stairs. She went to confiscate the gun and while doing so noticed a note attached to the gun with an address on it. Later that afternoon police officers went to the address of the house listed on the note of the gun. Jewelry was found at this address and collected by the police officers. The address was a known address for stolen jewelry to be pawned. While at Dan's house, Dan told Officer Leila that, "I do not know what you are here for, because I did not rob Terri Grubb's jewelry store." Officer Leila asked Dan to go to the police station and Dan agreed. As they walked into the police station, Magistrate McCale yelled, "is that the person who robbed Terri Grubb's jewelry store?!" Dan replied, "I told Officer Leila already, I did not rob Terri Grubb's jewelry store."

Assignment The Role of the Leader PurposeStudents have learn.docxAMMY30
Assignment: The Role of the Leader
Purpose:
Students have learned about leaders and their role in the organization. They have been exposed to the idea that a leader is the social architect of the organization. Definitively, leaders are those members of the organization who create the flow of decision making and environment from which organizational goals and values are set forth. Social architects create vision, strategic direction, shape culture and values, and lead change. Leaders align the people’s behavior with the goals and direction of the organization.
Outcomes Met:
use leadership theories, assessment tools, and an understanding of the role of ethics, values, and attitudes to evaluate and enhance personal leadership skills
evaluate the culture and policies of an organization to recommend and implement improvements that support its vision, success, and sustainability
Perspective:
In this assessment, students will act as Joseph Dunn, the leader of Dunn’s Ski Emporium. Dunn want to purchase The Deli, so there is a lot of work to do before entering into the possible addition of a business that little is known about. Write from a leader’s perspective. So, you ask, “What it means to write from a leader’s perspective?”
Writing from the leader’s perspective means approach Dunn’s vision through a people centric viewpoint. Focus on how the two businesses will meet the vision through the decision making flow and grouping of people within the organizations. How does a leader best use the people to meet the vision? Even though it is tempting to write in the first person, a plan is written in the third person for which a story will unfold. Dunn is essentially telling a story of how he is going to purchase the Deli and bring George and the business in as part of the Dunn Ski Emporium. Dunn will need to figure out how he is going to combine these two businesses and use his leadership skills to do so. Remember, write from the leader’s perspective but do not attempt to solve problems but create and develop an environment in which problems will be resolved by those who make the business run.
Dunn plans on designing an organizational structure that fulfills his vision, one that he believes George has for The Deli, and one that will fulfill its mission. The organization must be open to change and possess a culture that empowers its employees to follow the vision created. Like all good social architects, the building must start with a design that suites the purpose of the business and seeks to make it the best building for the job. Students are expected to be creative but realistic in completing the assignment. For example, feel free to assign names and roles to the people in the business. In being creative, students may not change the facts in the plan. Dunn will present his ideas to George Atkins once Dunn sits down with him to begin negotiations, so be sure that the final product is polished. Also to make sure questions can easily be ...

HW: Thesis Statement Prompt from Chapter One of Night
This assignment is due on February 5, 2018. You must compose your own work; do not copy another’s work.
Directions:
1. Read Chapter One of Night if you have not done so.
2. CHOOSE ONE prompt from the three prompts provided. Prompts One and Two are expository, and Prompt Three is a literary analysis prompt. The literary analysis prompt is an “uphill challenge”--go for it! :-)
3. Compose ONLY: the introductory paragraph and thesis statement. Your introductory paragraph should have a narrative hook and one short piece of background information. THE FINAL SENTENCE OF YOUR INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH SHOULD BE YOUR THESIS STATEMENT. An outline of your paragraph would look like this:
I. Introduction
A. Narrative hook
B. Background information
C. Thesis statement
For instance:
Many teenagers spend a lot of time contemplating what they want to do when they
graduate from high school. I am fortunate in that I already know; I decided to become a
veterinarian when I was two or three years old. A veterinarian practices veterinary medicine, or medicine “of, relating to, practicing, or being the science and art of prevention, cure, or alleviation of disease and injury in animals and especially domestic animals” (“veterinary”). Just like humans, animals need people to treat them with the respect and dignity they deserve, and I want to be one of those people. To prepare for my future as a veterinarian, I plan to attend college and veterinary school, learn about all species of animals, and learn the skills I need to help animals.
Your thesis statement must have one main point and two supporting points.
Prompt One:
Imagine that you are a townsperson listening to Moishe the Beadle’s story. Explain why you believe Moishe’s story to be false.
Prompt Two:
There were several opportunities for Wiesel and his family to escape before they were sent to Auschwitz. Explain what these opportunities were, and explain why the family did not take advantage of them.
Prompt Three:
Define irony, and discuss Wiesel’s use of irony in the first chapter of Night. What message is he trying to convey about the Jews’ attitude and how does his use of irony help him get his message across?

Leila is a police officer. She is out of uniform and knocked on Dan's front door of his house and asked if she could enter to enforce a warrant she had. The warrant was a search warrant issued by a magistrate at the Lawrence District Court. His name is Mark McCale, a retired police officer for the state police department in Lawrence. The warrant indicated that "the first floor of Dan's house will be searched for a gun used in connection with a robbery and some jewelry, which was stolen." While looking in Dan's house, Officer Leila smelled what she thought to be gun powder emanating from the second floor. Officer Leila immediately walked upstairs and found a gun at the tops of the stairs. She went to confiscate the gun and while doing so noticed a note attached to the gun with an address on it. Later that afternoon police officers went to the address of the house listed on the note of the gun. Jewelry was found at this address and collected by the police officers. The address was a known address for stolen jewelry to be pawned. While at Dan's house, Dan told Officer Leila that, "I do not know what you are here for, because I did not rob Terri Grubb's jewelry store." Officer Leila asked Dan to go to the police station and Dan agreed. As they walked into the police station, Magistrate McCale yelled, "is that the person who robbed Terri Grubb's jewelry store?!" Dan replied, "I told Officer Leila already, I did not rob Terri Grubb's jewelry store."

Write an observation essay that explains the unique significance.docxherbertwilson5999
Write an
observation essay
that explains the unique significance of a particular person or place within a larger community. Describe the person or place through vivid description, narration, dialogue and sensory details. Help others outside of your community understand why the person or place is important to the community.
Assignment
Observation
, as the CEL describes it, requires writers to "study their subjects and learn something by seeing them in a particular way" (93). Observation essays do more than just report facts: they also "find the hidden meaning, the significant issues, and the important aspects of a particular subject" (93).
Your purpose in this Observation Essay is to
convey the significance of a particular person or place in your community through details that show how the subject "fits" within the community's priorities and values
. Your descriptions and details should make it easy for someone unfamiliar with your community to understand why the person or place you chose is relevant and significant to the community.
*Note: although this essay is intended to be based in recent, firsthand observations, you may write from recent memories instead if you are restricted in travel and mobility during the COVID pandemic. If you are writing from memories, try to recreate scenes and descriptions as though you are seeing them again for the first time.
In order to achieve this purpose, you need to:
Observe and Take field notes. Begin with observing the person or place and writing down notes about what you see, hear, and sense. Plan to observe this person or place 2-3 times. In your notes, record specific actions that you notice, dialogue you overhear, interactions you have with other people, and any important details about the scene that might help you SHOW its significance through vivid detail and narration.
Describe the person or place through actions, details, and dialogue that offer
insight
into why this person or place has unique
significance
as an important part of the community.
Explain context and background that shows how the person or place matters within the larger community. Context might include history, factual information, anecdotes, geographical information, or other details that help an audience understand the person or place as part of something bigger than themselves/itself.
Follow a carefully planned organizational structure that gives priority to specific details, themes, and values. Your final draft should be organized to show the significance of the person or place and should not simply list details in the order you observed them.
Offer a strong introduction that hooks readers with vivid details or action and focuses attention on the significance of the subject. Provide a strong conclusion that
As you look back over your observations and notes, remember that your essay should do more than simply relate details without any larger significance. Your observation of the person or place should .

Assignment 1 Organizational Theory (Week 3)
10. Purpose:
In the first assignment, students are given a scenario in which
the shipping manager who has worked for Recycled Furnishings
since
the inception of the company is getting ready to retire. The
scenario serves to set the stage for students to demonstrate how
management theories have changed over time. For example,
managing 30 years ago is different than managing in the 21
st
century.
Outcome Met by Completing This Assignment:
management practices
Instructions:
In Part One of this case study analysis, students are to use the
facts from the case study to determine two different
organization
theories that are demonstrated. For Part Two, students will
compare the 21
st
century manager to that of the main character in the case
study and the implications of change in being a 21
st
century manager.
In selecting an organizational theory that best describes the
current shipping manager, students will use the timeline to
11. select a school
of thought and a theory or theories of that time frame. Students
will need to research the theorist(s) and theories to complete the
assignment and answer the questions below. Students are
expected to be thorough in responding to Part One.
In Part Two, students are going to take what they have learned
in weeks 1 – 3 and compare the management skills of the
current
shipping manager to that of you as the new shipping manager.
Step 1: Review “How to Analyze a Case Study” under Week 3
Content.
Step 2: Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document
that is double-spaced, 12-point font. The final product will be
between
4-5 pages in length excluding the title page and reference page.
Step 3: Review the grading rubric for the assignment.
Step 4: Use headings following this format:
name;
situation and tells a reader the main points of the paper;
12. Step 5: In writing a case study, the writing is in the third
person. What this means is that there are no words such as “I,
me, my, we,
or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your”
(second person writing). If uncertain how to write in the third
person,
view this link:
http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-
second-and-third-person
Step 6: In writing this assignment, students are expected to
support the reasoning using in-text citations and a reference list.
If any
material is used from a source, it must be cited and referenced.
A reference within a reference list cannot exist without an
associated
in-text citation and vice versa. View the sample APA paper
under Week 1 content.
Step 7: In writing this assignment, students are expected to
paraphrase and not use direct quotes. Learn to paraphrase by
reviewing

https://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/QPA_paraphrase2.html
Step 8: In writing this assignment, students may use external
resources but the majority of resources will come from the
course.
13. Step 9: Read critically and analyze the following scenario:
Part One
Scenario:
Recycled Furnishings is a division of an international home
furnishing company called Thor Enterprises. Recycled
Furnishings makes
glass sofas for outdoor use from recycled bottles and glass. The
business has grown rapidly in the last thirty years and now that
it has
become a division of Thor Enterprises, the company is going
international. The shipping manager for Recycled Furnishings,
Robert,
has been in his job since the start of the company. Prior to
coming to Recycled Furnishings, Robert worked as a container
manufacturing engineer at Damco, a local shipping company
and worked his way up to supervisor prior to joining Recycled
Furnishings. Robert, a baby boomer, quickly rose to supervisor
at Damco because of his ability to optimize the way tasks were
performed and his knack to implement processes so workers
could be trained to perform their specialized sequence of motion
in one
best way. He brought this management style to Recycled
Furnishing and helped to improve the methodology of furniture
assembly as
14. well as the shipping processes.
http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-
second-and-third-person
https://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/QPA_paraphrase2.html
A major shift in management occurred in the late 1980’s and
early 90’s that caused Robert to reconsider his management
approach. For example, advances in technology, the
organization joining a union, change in the value systems,
organizational design
and globalization all affected the culture of Recycled
Furnishings. Robert was successful with this transformation
and contributed
greatly to the company’s success.
In answering the following questions, make sure that the facts
of the scenario and the course readings support the reasoning of
the
answers provided.

Assignment 2: Mini-Management Plan (Week 5)
Purpose:
In the second assignment, students will complete a mini-
management plan that demonstrates how an organization
operates on a day-
to-day basis as well as over the long run. This assignment helps
students develop the skills necessary to assess a management
situation and to write a report based on the findings
A management plan is a report that includes numerous sections
that cover various aspects of the business.
Outcome Met by Completing This Assignment:
management practices
es to develop strategies,
64. goals, and objectives in order to enhance performance and
sustainability
effective and efficient attainment of organizational goals
eristics of decision making and
indicate the range and types of decisions a manager makes
Instructions:
In this assignment students will take the role of the Vice
President of Operation creating a mini-management plan that
focuses on
those aspects of the business related to planning and organizing.
As Vice President of Operations, Joseph Jackson, the leader of
Cyber
Software, Inc., has asked you to help him solve his
organizational problems. This mini-management plan is a
professionally written
document that will be given to Joseph Jackson.
In writing the plan, you must use the terminology learned in the
course. Since Joe Jackson is quite knowledgeable, you are not
defining terms using a dictionary but you will explain and
describe concepts and ideas so Joseph Jackson understands what
you mean,
why the ideas are important to the business and how to
implement the proposed plan. The plan is not one in which the
Vice President
65. of Operations tells Joseph Jackson that he should do this or do
that or he needs to or will do this or do that but one that is
presented in
an action-oriented manner. Students are expected to make
connections between the facts of the case study and concepts,
theories, and
ideas presented in the course readings.
The mini-management plan will structure the entire company
and will cover Joseph Jackson’s organization’s mission, vision,
structure
and culture.
Step 1: Review “How to Analyze a Case Study” under Week 3
Content.
Step 2: Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document.
This mini-management plan should be presented in a
professional
manner using single space, double-spaced between paragraphs.
The final product will be between 5-7 pages in length excluding
the
title page, diagrams and reference page.
Step 3: Title page with your name, the course name, the date,
and the instructor’s name.
Step 4: Since students are probably not familiar with writing a
66. management plan, the following resources have been provided
to assist
in writing the plan.

contents/leadership/effective-manager/management-plan/main
1. Management Plan Example
https://wakenature.wordpress.com/resources/management-plan-
examples/
Step 5: In writing a case study, the writing is in the third
person. What this means is that there are no words such as “I,
me, my, we,
or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your”
(second person writing). If uncertain how to write in the third
person,
view this link:

second-and-third-person
Step 6: In writing this assignment, students are expected to
support the reasoning using in-text citations and a reference list.
If any
material is used from a source, it must be cited and referenced.
A reference within a reference list cannot exist without an
associated
67. in-text citation and vice versa. View the sample APA paper
under Week 1 content.
Step 7: In writing this assignment, students are expected to
paraphrase and not use direct quotes. Learn to paraphrase by
reviewing
this link:
https://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/QPA_paraphrase2.html
Step 8: In writing this assignment, students may use external
resources but the majority of resources will come from the
course.
Step 9: Review the grading rubric for the assignment.

Step 10: Read critically and analyze the case study provided
under Week 5 content. Notate the key points in the case study.
Step 11: Create the introductory paragraph.
The introductory paragraph is the first paragraph of the paper
but is typically written after writing the body of the paper

111. The third assignment, a consultancy report, provides students
with the ability to demonstrate that they have mastered the
course
content and can apply theories, concepts and ideas learned
throughout the course to a situation that emulates a real world
situation. Students will read the case study that focuses on the
four functions of management: planning, organizing, leading
and
controlling (P-O-L-C) and respond to the required elements of
the assignment.
Writing reports in business is commonplace so writing a
consultancy report provides students the opportunity to
demonstrate a skill
that employers are looking for from an employee.
Outcome Met by Completing This Assignment:
rate management theories and principles into
management practices
goals, and objectives in order to enhance performance and
sustainability
s for the
effective and efficient attainment of organizational goals
vision, motivating and empowering others, and creating a
culture
of ethical decision-making and innovation
112. es and assess outcomes against plans and
standards to improve organizational effectiveness
indicate the range and types of decisions a manager makes
Instructions:
You have been hired as a consultant to help Mike Davis and his
family to solve the problems with his business both day-to-day
and
over the long term (strategically). You will create a
consultancy report that covers the four functions of
management. In creating the
consultancy report, you must also demonstrate how the four
functions of management are interrelated showing how issues in
one
function impact other functions.
In speaking with Mike, Ethan and Daisy, you already know the
following about the business owners:
1. failed to develop or share a mission statement;
2. failed to determine the best way to organize resources,
including personnel;
3. underestimates the importance of recruitment, job design and
descriptions, and training;
4. assumed that motivation will occur naturally;
5. fails to define standards and other measurable outcomes;
6. ignored negative information;
113. 7. delayed actions to improve organizational outcomes.
Be succinct in your writing but persuasive so that the
recommendations will have positive outcomes for the business.
Students are not using buzz-word and are not defining terms
using a dictionary. Students are expected to present the
material in a
professional manner describing and explaining to the owners.
As a consultant, you should be secure in your presentation to
Mike,
Ethan and Daisy. Avoid telling the owners that they should do
this or must do that but write in an action-oriented manner.
Students
are expected to make connections between the facts of the case
study and concepts, theories, and ideas presented in the course
material.
Step 1: Review “How to Analyze a Case Study” under Week 3
Content.
Step 2: Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document.
This consultancy plan should be presented in a professional
manner
using single space, double-spaced between paragraphs. The
final product will be between 6-8 pages in length excluding the
title page,
diagrams and reference page.
Step 3: Title page with your name, the course name, the date,
114. and the instructor’s name.
Step 4: Since students are probably not familiar with writing a
consultancy report, the following resources have been provided
to
assist in writing the report.
1. How to Write a Consultancy Report
http://www.slideshare.net/AisyahBagarib/spca-team-
consultancy-report
Step 5: In writing a case study, the writing is in the third
person. What this means is that there are no words such as “I,
me, my, we,
or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your”
(second person writing). If uncertain how to write in the third
person,
view this link:
http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-
second-and-third-person
Step 6: In writing this assignment, students are expected to
support the reasoning using in-text citations and a reference list.
If any
material is used from a source, it must be cited and referenced.
A reference within a reference list cannot exist without an
associated
in-text citation and vice versa. View the sample APA paper
115. under Week 1 content.
Step 7: In writing this assignment, students are expected to
paraphrase and not use direct quotes. Learn to paraphrase by
reviewing
this link:
https://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/QPA_paraphrase2.html
Step 8: In writing this assignment, students may use external
resources but the majority of resources will come from the
course
readings with a wide array of readings used.
Step 9: Review the grading rubric for the assignment.
Step 10: Read critically and analyze the case study provided
under Week 5 content. Notate the key points in the case study.
Step 11: Create an executive summary. Although a report
must be complete when presenting to a client, the expectation is
that there
is an executive summary so that the client can read quickly the
main features of the report. The executive summary should be
written
in a way that makes the client want to read more so it must have
enough information to see the potential behind the
recommendations
without having to read the entire report.
So you aren’t sure how to write the executive summary. Check
out this resource to help you write the summary:
