This is a written report prepared collectively by a team that reflects on the seminar activities that have been used to simulate different aspects of the innovation process – including knowledge exploration, knowledge exploitation, managing inter-dependencies (the first 3 seminar activities that you have been involved in).

Based on these experiential learning activities (and the accompanying readings in lectures and seminars), the team will write a report that should include:

1. An analysis of the innovation processes that were experienced through the different activities. This should include reference to relevant concepts, theories and models that we have covered in the module so that you demonstrate that you understand how these theoretical ideas link to the practices that emerged during the different activities.

2. Reflections on the efforts of your group (what you did and how effective this was) during the group activities that you have participated in over the term, including efforts made to include all team members, what you learnt about team-working and other reflections on your group process as it pertains to managing innovation processes.

3. In the appendices you should include a summary of the team roles taken by individual group members during the activities and the writing of the group report including one paragraph reflective statements from each member as to their contributions during the activities and the writing. This part need not be included in the word count.

 
You are required to produce an enterprising change plan for an organization of your choice – private/ public sector or social enterprise making appropriate reference to supporting theories and models of change.

The plan will focus on a particular department/ business unit or work group within the organization that you are familiar with. The change plan is intended to enhance enterprise/ innovation/ improve efficiency or organisational effectiveness.

The change will usually involve introducing a new way of doing things, a new process or system; change that may require a change in the organizational structure and or culture. You will need to consider the change issue/ problem – why the change is needed? And what the change represents; a completely new way of doing things, process/ system? Or the redesigning of existing practices, processes or systems? You will also need to consider exactly what are the key changes to be made? What will be done or happen differently in the future & how this will improve the organization? Who will do this & how?
This report will be comprised of 4 sections

Section 1: Identifying the change situation/ context
• Identify the reasons for change/ change context/ enterprising nature of the change.
• Identify the scope of the change/ purpose/ aims
• Identify change agents/ change team

Section 2: The change project analysis
• Stakeholder analysis
• Force field analysis – resistance/ obstacles to change.
• Critique of existing organizational culture – supporting/ hindering change.
• Discuss the organizational readiness for change.

Section 3: Evaluation/ discussion of the change programme
• Evaluate options/ solutions to implement change
• Discuss required changes – Structure? Processes? Systems? People?
• Specific recommendations / justification of change activity
• Identify and discuss change stages & timeframe
• Communication plans
• Risk assessment of undertaking change

Section 4: Change plan
• Action Plan – milestones/ timescales
• Change project diagram and supporting written explanation / justification.

The report has a recommended word limit of 4000 words; however this does not include any tables or diagrams you may wish to put into the appendices and then refer to in the report itself. The report needs to be concise, but should make appropriate reference to supporting theories, models etc. to help underpin the validity of your recommendations. Clearly section 3 will be a very important part of the overall report.

I will upload the full assessment instructions with example from last year students and the zip files have an examples for student took A in the assessment. Also, recommendation references as important to use.

please when you choose the organization send me a draft from one page to take agree to carry on from the tutor.

 

Strategic management class.

This is a group case project, and we are 4 people and each one will do part of the project. So, I will do SWOT analysis part. I will upload several files to give you good idea about the project, so please read it carefully because the professor so picky. down you will find short explanation for the project, and I will upload also some files:

1- the Lockheed Martin case, so you do not need to purchase it.
2- specific explanation about the whole project, and my part too.
3- some chapters so you can get good idea about the class, because he want me to apply what I learn in the class in the project.

GROUP CASE
You will be assigned to a group of 4-6 students and required to perform a strategic analysis of Case 20: Lockheed Martin. The case is available electronically from Cengage Brain at
https://www.cengagebrain.com/shop/isbn/9781285425177

The purpose of the case analysis is to apply what you have learned in class to an actual company and the group will be evaluated primarily on its ability to demonstrate this application. The chapter “Preparing an Effective Case Analysis” (available electronically at Cengage Brain and included in the price of your purchased case) explains how to integrate course material into your analysis.

Learning Outcomes: Knowledge and Understanding tested in this assignment:
– Visitor Management techniques: hard and soft; demand and supply
– The role of visitor management in determining the success of an attraction: accessibility; visitor needs and requests; special exhibitions for specific target market; repeat visitors; stress free experience; power of interpretation etc.
Learning Outcomes: Skills and Attributes tested in this assignment:
– Evaluate solutions to management problems inherent in a visitor attraction: e.g. for families to arrange a children’s room, for international tourists – guide who can speak their language instead of listening to the audio record and others
– Examine the effectiveness of different visitor management strategies: soft (mapping, static interpretation, signage, guides etc) and hard (face control at the entrance, fencing, closures, access limits etc)
Your report will be submitted to Turnitin (plagiarism software) so please make sure you fully reference all your sources correctly – ask for help is you are unsure and follow HBS style of Harvard referencing.

Tips:
• Use your initiative when researching. Do not simply repeat case material and theories that you have been introduced to in class – extra marks will be gained by finding additional theories and cases.
• Use other case studies to illustrate good practice that could be applied to your case study.

 
CW2 ASSIGNMENT
This assignment represents the culmination of all your work on this module. This is also where you incorporate your revised/enhanced material from your CW1 assignment. You have studied the strategic options available to the business. You are now required to independently evaluate the existing strategy of the business and make recommendations to the Board of Directors as to the future development of the business’ strategy. Your evaluation and recommendations should be presented as a Management Report.
Your management report should include:

Module title and code
Assignment title
Your name and ID number
Name of your seminar tutor
Word Count (see later note on word limit): This needs to be in two parts (a) the total number of words in the document and (b) the word count minus the title page, contents page, executive summary, tables/charts, reference list and any appendices.
Submission date
Executive Summary: This should be no more than one page in length and should present a ‘snapshot’ of the report including your findings from the environmental audit and the strategic direction of the organisation. You should also include an overview of your recommendations with a brief rationale. [Note: This is not counted in the word limit.]
Table of contents: This should be no more than one page in length. [NOTE: This is not counted within the word limit.]
Introduction: An introduction to the company’s operations – in other words ‘setting the scene’. This to include an overview of the organisation’s operations, their proposed strategy, its financial situation, general state of the sector/industry (for example, is it in growth or decline) and its key competitors. It is expected that elsewhere in the report you will apply the models/concepts and frameworks to the organisation. This approach should underpin your knowledge and understanding of the organisation and the environment in which it operates.
Analysis and critical evaluation of the organisation’s environmental audit:
This is the material from your Formative assignment (Pestel, Capabilities, Porter’s Five Forces, SWOT/TOWS). However, you need to have taken into account the feedback provided and, where necessary, enhanced your work. [Note the comments made in the earlier section on the Formative.]
Analysis of the organisation’s strategic direction: This needs to be undertaken with a clear identification of the methods by which the organisation’s strategies have been pursued. You must use Ansoff and either BCG or GE/McKinsey.
Critical evaluation of the organisation’s strategy: This is in terms of its suitability, acceptability, feasibility and sustainability (SAFS Framework).
Conclusions: What conclusions have you drawn from analysing this organisation?
Recommendations: These are what you have derived from examining the organisation. These should link back to the material that you have critically reviewed within the previous sections. There must be a clear rationale for the recommendations. Read your recommendations carefully and ask yourself the following questions:
Are your recommendations rational?
What evidence can you provide in support of these recommendations?
How would the various stakeholders react? How would you react if you were a shareholder?
Is it logical that the company would or need to take these specific actions?
Do they make sense?
Would you be prepared to discuss them at a Board meeting?

An organization chart clarifies authority relationships, the span of supervision, the division of work, and departmentalization. It probably does not adequately portray the working relationships between the employees.

Consider this scenario. A company develops, produces, and sells a variety of products throughout the world. Sales have been growing about 5 percent per year. Projections reveal that no new employees will need to be added in the foreseeable future.

Construct an organizational chart for this company using job titles and employees listed in Team Skills Builder 8-2: Reorganizing a Company on page 276 of the text.
Include rationale for why you constructed the structure the way you did.
