Change Management and Management Styles
________________________________________

As economic times change, management styles have changed accordingly. New concepts and issues of management styles have been analyzed, synthesized, and evaluated to meet the changing needs of the marketplace. The concept of change management has gained great acceptance and/or disapproval by all sectors, including civilian and military.

Katzenbach (1995) wrote that “Real change leaders are the linchpins connecting three critical forces for organizational change and performance: top leadership aspirations (what are we trying to become?); workforce energy and productivity (how will we climb the mountain?); and the marketplace reality (what do our target customers truly seek, and what can and will our potential competitors really do?) (pp. 8-9).

Analyze the changes in the field of Business Administration/Accounting to determine if there have been periods of time in which leaders in the field, as well as actual practitioners in the field, have had to address the issue of change management. Specifically, this analysis should be based on a synthesis of the current literature (and literature no older than 1995) to demonstrate how leaders in your field of study have addressed the issue of change management – as well as any changes in management style. Finally, the information should relate these specific changes to current, previous, and/or future career paths. This analysis should help to reveal how changes occur over the past decade or so in the field. Finally, what possible changes, suggestions and/or recommendations would be considered to be necessary in this field of study?

You are a quality manager working on the Fox Island Wind Project. The project is now at the testing phase and will be handed over to operations soon. As a quality manager, you want to ensure that the electric power generation process is in control. For ten consecutive days, 5 times a day, you read the meter at specific times throughout the day to measure the output of the power plant. These data are stored in the attached Minitab worksheet. You will use the data and a Word document to answer the following questions:

1. What is the appropriate control chart to study the process variability (within sample variation)? Why?

2. What is the appropriate control chart to study the process mean (between samples variation)? Why?

3. Use the data provided in the Minitab worksheet to display the charts. Copy and paste the charts to the Word document and look for any evidence of assignable-cause variation

4. Is the electricity production in statistical control? Please explain.

5. What is a rational subgroup? And why is it important when collecting data for process analysis?

6. What advice do you have for the Fox Island Wind Power Project to maintain customer satisfaction?

Please support your arguments with facts. Write a short paper containing the answers to these questions. Successful reports will include:
> Evidence of research from academia and other reputable sources (Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source).

COURSEWORK
Company and Project Description
Systems Building is a construction firm with a turnover of £600 million and 2250 employees. Currently the company has a partnership agreement contract with the Department of Work and Pensions to refurbish and extend the Edinburgh office. The contract is a £5.6 million refurbishment of the existing building with a new extension project scheduled to last 47 weeks in total. Systems Building operates by engaging subcontractors to carry out the building work. The project will commence in 6 months.
Coursework Brief
The Chief Executive (CE) of Systems Building recognises the need to have effective and flexible project management. The Chief Executive has asked you, an external Project Management Consultant, to provide a professional report addressing the following 3 sections associated with the project.
1) Health & Safety
2) Environmental & Sustainability
3) Risk
(choose a topic that is neither health and safety, nor environmental)
The CE wishes you to identify and describe effective management approaches for each of the three sections and with the aid of two distinct and different examples for each, to explain how they might be used in practice. Specifically, within the management approach chosen, she wishes you to address the following.
1) The management process to be followed for each section.
2) The timeline for project progression, providing a table of the main hazards identified for each stage.
3) How relevant hazards will be identified and evaluated.
4) The process(es) adopted to monitor and review performance.
5) How the management systems chosen will accommodate project progression and the consequent hazards arising.
Given the high level nature of the report, the focus should be concerned with the systems and tools to be employed by the team to ‘manage’ the project and there is no requirement for indepth details of any particular national legislation.
Each of the three individual sections of the report should finish with a subsection headed ‘Discussion’ in which a critical analysis of the system and tool choices made should be presented. This may take the form of a reflective statement on the advantages and disadvantages of the management/hazard system chosen, of the issues of implementation in a Project setting, and of the value of management systems and tools on a project of this nature. Students are expected to refer to relevant and up-to-date academic literature to inform their critical analyses.
Word Count
1) Excluding the discussion subsections, the three sections i.e. H&S, Environmental and Risk, should be circa 750 words maximum each (+/- 10%) (total for whole coursework is 2250).
2) Each discussion subsection should be circa 750 words maximum each (+/- 10%) (total for whole coursework is 2250).
3) Overall total coursework word count is therefore 4500 maximum (+/- 10%).
Use of models, figures, and diagrams is encouraged. Use a reasonable and realistic amount of supporting text to support any such models etc. Please note, you may make reasonable and relevant assumptions to progress your work.

1)Table of content
2)List of Figures
3)List of Tables
4)Introduction
All these are needed in the coursework. Please add diagrams as well.

 
The organization i have chose already which is B&G construction based in London. External change will be consider that assume B&G is going to open a new branch in China. The internal subject areas u should consider 3, which are business model, business culture and leadership. The relevant documents I will upload later to u. I don’t need introduction and conclusion even describe external change in this coursework. I ONLY need you illustrate these 3 subject areas i have selected already within the broad discipline of management offer the most appropriate conceptual tools, frameworks and knowledge to respond/adapt to external change. And then give the recommendation to improve the competitive position.
