Project Descriptions
Always submit your best, most thoughtful work. Assignments
should be well organized and should demonstrate the level of
writing
expected of college students at the 300 level. Present your
ideas as thoroughly as you can, providing examples and
appropriate
citations, (using the Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association, 6th edition). You must adhere to the
page-length
requirements identified for each assignment. Your writing style
is very important, and you will be graded on this aspect of your
work
in such areas as organization, grammar, punctuation, etc.
Creative approaches, evidence of critical thinking, and detailed
answers are required. If you disagree with the materials
presented in
the course, argue your point with verifiable examples and
outside data, properly documented and cited. Remember that
even
paraphrased material requires proper citation (use APA format,
both within the text and in your reference list). Post your
assignments
as an attachment in your assignment folder on or before the due
date (use Word or an RTF file format). Late submissions are not
accepted. Make a backup copy of your work in case you
experience computer or network problems when you are
uploading your
assignment. Submitted assignments will be considered your
final submission and submissions by email afterward will not be
accepted.
Review and use the instructions and rubric for each assignment.
Review the APA guidelines under Course Overview prior to
submission. Check that all citations and references are correct
and noted within your paper. Turnitin may be used to review
each paper
for plagiarism.
Assignment 1 Organizational Theory (Week 3)
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
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;
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
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: 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
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.

that best depicts Robert’s management style. What contribution
did

contribution important to the field of management?

Step 10: Create the introductory paragraph. Within this
paragraph, provide a brief overview of the scenario. Then,
provide a thesis

paper. The introductory paragraph is the first paragraph of the
paper but is
typically written after writing the body of the paper (Questions

Step 11: Respond to the questions in Part One and Part Two
following the format provided. Be clear and concise in the
writing and
make sure the questions are comprehensively answered.
Step 12: Using the grading rubric as a comparison, read
through the paper to ensure all required elements are presented.
Step 13: Proofread the paper for spelling and grammatical
issues, and third person writing.

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,
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
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.

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,

Assignment 3: Applying the P-O-L-C (Week 8)
Purpose:
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
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;
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,
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

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,

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
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:

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

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.

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,

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.
