Written Case Analysis ModelStep 1. Problem Identification. The f.docxericbrooks84875
Written Case Analysis Model
Step 1. Problem Identification. The first step in your written analysis is to explicitly identify the major problem(s) in the case in one or two clear and precise sentences. For example, "The major problem in this case is a 15 percent increase in employee turnover compared to last year's rate." Herbert Simon, who received a Nobel Prize for his work on management decision making, has defined a problem as "a deviation from a standard." In other words, one way to identify a problem is to compare some desired state or objective with the actual situation. A problem or series of problems may prevent the organization from reaching its objectives or goals. A key point here is that in order to define a problem, there must be some type of standard for comparison. Possible standards include the organization's stated objectives or goals, objectives or goals of competing organizations, or standards based on normative prescriptions from human resource management theory.
It is important to remember that problems reside in the present. The problem is here and now!
Step 2. Identify the Causes of the Problem. Before proposing alternative solutions, the decision maker must have a clear understanding of the underlying causes of the problem. HRM problems are usually embedded in a larger context. This means the decision maker must examine internal and external environmental factors over time to isolate causal factors. Causes of problems tend to be historical in nature. To formulate a solid understanding of the specific causes, you should search for root causes and use relevant course concepts and theories to better define them. The "question syndrome" approach may be beneficial here: Why did the problem occur? When did it begin? Where does it occur? Where doesn't it occur? What effective HRM practices should the organization be using? What has the organization failed to do? What are the antecedents of the problem? Posing these questions will help you to probe beyond the symptoms to the root causes of the problem.
The process of identifying the causes of a problem is very much like hypothesis testing. You should set forth possible causes and then test them against the facts in the case. In writing this section, it is important to present a plausible discussion of the causes so as to convince the reader that your analysis is correct.
Step 3. Select Criteria. Your decision criteria serve to allow you the opportunity to evaluate each of your alternatives using the same measures. Many of the criteria that you will utilize in making HR decisions are qualitative in nature. There is a short list presented in your packet. In reality, all of these come into play. But importance to any problem will be different, which will require you to prioritize these for each different case. We will prioritize this list and use the most important three for each set of alternatives.
Step 4. Alternative

Your decision-making hasn't fully matured. You aren't objective enough, and you rely too much on luck, instinct or timing to make reliable decisions. Start to improve your decision-making skills by focusing more on the process that leads to the decision, rather than on the decision itself. With a solid process, you can face any decision with confidence. We'll show you how. (Read

Your decision-making process is OK. You have a good understanding of the basics, but now you need to improve your process and be more proactive. Concentrate on finding lots of options and discovering as many risks and consequences as you can. The better your analysis, the better your decision will be in the long term. Focus specifically on the areas where you lost points, and develop a system that will work for you across a wide variety of situations. (Read

You have an excellent approach to decision-making! You know how to set up the process and generate lots of potential solutions. From there, you analyze the options carefully, and you make the best decisions possible based on what you know. As you gain more and more experience, use that information to evaluate your decisions, and continue to build on your decision-making success. Think about the areas where you lost points, and decide how you can include those areas in your process. (Read
below
to start.)
As you answered the questions, did you see some common themes? We based our quiz on six essential steps in the decision-making process:
1.
Establishing a positive decision-making environment.
2.
Generating potential solutions.
3.
Evaluating the solutions.
4.
Deciding.
5.
Checking the decision.
6.
Communicating and implementing.
If you're aware of these six basic elements and improve the way you structure them, this will help you develop a better overall decision-making system. Let's look at the six elements individually.

My results when using the Jung Typology Test showed the extrovert over introversion by 31%, intuitive over sensing by 44%, thinking over feeling by 28%, and Judging over perceiving by 53% (ENTJ). I believe these personality traits hit me straight on. ENTJ’s have a natural tendency to marshal and direct. (Jung Typology Test, 2016). My husband would agree with this statement. I work hard on trying to step back and let someone else take the lead as it is often better to let someone else work the puzzle with you than constantly giving direction. I do believe all good leaders have a degree of directing but I disagree with the percentage that it gave me. I believe that my trait as an extrovert allows me to be perceptive as I constantly want to know others ideas or way of managing a project or issue. This would fit into the philosophy that ENTJ’s have a desire to learn about others ideas as well as learning practical solutions to pressing problems.
ENTJ career choices will take my leadership qualities into the direction of management, social services, and technical science. I f.
oneIf I was a Project Manager, what three qualities would I want.docxhopeaustin33688
one
If I was a Project Manager, what three qualities would I want? First and foremost, I would want to have the fortitude to accept my failures and the strength to drive forward despite of the failures. What made someone like Colonel Sanders (Kentucky Fried Chicken) successful? President Abraham Lincoln? Walt Disney? Vera Wang? All of these people were very successful people, but they also had many failures. So why were they successful? The answer is that they were not weak and crumbled at the first sign of failure. They were focused on their goal and they pushed forward to their success. That is the type of Project Manager I would like to be.
The second quality would be to communicate effectively. Have you ever had one of those bosses that you were always trying to figure out what he/she wants you to do? I have, and it came from lack of communication. As a Project Manager, I need to speak effectively so that there is absolutely no misunderstanding on what needs to be done.
Finally, I would want to have great people skills. A Project Manager needs to be able to listen actively to what others are saying, help develop new approaches for solving problems, and then persuade others to work toward achieving project goals (Schwalbe, K., 2013, p23). As a Project Manager, I would be working with people of different cultures. Understanding people will increase the chances of the project succeeding.
Any of the three characteristics above, either by themselves or in combination with each other, can also lead to project failure. So how do you become a great communicator, a great people person, and thick skinned? You work on it. Take a college course on communications or on people skills. Talk to your current employees and friends to get feedback from them on how you can improve. Then you devise a plan to start implementing their advice into your everyday life.

The three keys to Project Success seem to have the three factors that all successful projects have in common. Each of these factors is key to any project’s success. Each project can be viewed as a tripod. The three legs must be in place for the tripod to stand sturdily. In a systems project, these legs are critical success factors consisting of the following:
Top management support
A sound methodology
Solid technical leadership by someone who has successfully completed a similar project.
Additional characteristic in IT Project Management are, cost, quality, speed and risk. However it is not possible to have the best of all four factors. Specifically, you cannot have a system built inexpensively, of high quality, built quickly and with little or no risk. Most discussion of these factors only include the first three. It is possible to build a high-quality system quickly, at a relatively low cost by cutting corner and doing little or no testing.

عندما ننظر للمتميزين في أدائهم الوظيفي أو في أعمالهم بشكل عام، نجد أن هناك ثلاثة أركان رئيسية يرتكزون عليها. وغالباً ما يكون أي اضطراب في الأداء ينمّ عن خلل في واحد أو أكثر من هذه الأركان. الأركان الثلاثة للأداء المتميز تختصر في نموذج (AMO) أو (MAO) وهي: الدافع (Motivation)، القدرة (Ability)، الفرصة (Opportunity). كما ذكرها “توماس بايلي” (THOMAS BAILEY) في أطروحة له عام 1993 م، ثم طورها لاحقاً مع آخرين في عام 2000 م.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
