The case: Barclays’ interest rate scandal (the Libor scandal) in 2012
Conduct research on and analyze the Barclays’ crisis, then write a crisis case study paper on it. The crisis case study paper should include:

(1) An historical overview of the organization, its brands and or services.
(2) A chronological tracing and a critical assessment of the crisis. Consider conducting research by obtaining organizational documents, official statements, and media reports. Make sure to include direct quotes gathered from these documents to give the case study flavor. Make sure you include in-text citation of research.
(3) An analysis, guided by appropriate theory of the organization’s response to the crisis (e.g. Benoit’s theory of image restoration, news framing theory, situational crisis communication theory etc.).
(4) An assessment of the success or failure of the organization’s actions or communication strategies based on effects, aesthetics, ethics, or comparison to other cases. Select any of the lessons from the course text, Effective Crisis Communication that you feel helps explain the crisis and crisis response (feel free to mix and match lessons). At the end of the crisis case study paper , you should be able to clearly state the lessons that were learned from the Barclay’s case.
(a digital version of the textbook Effective Crisis Communication will be uploaded to this order. The lessons introduced in the textbook can be found at the end of the chapter 3, chapter 5 and chapter 7. Pick a few lessons that you think are relevant to the Barclays’ case to discuss in your paper.)

Case Study- Human right and long term care

Linda is a 25 year old resident in a supported living accommodation. she has a dual diagnosis of mild learning disability, a history of depression and self harm. Although she enjoys a fair amount of freedom, she is susceptible to sexual exploitation. The care team has concluded that she lack the capacity to live independently. Recently she has been expressing her wish to have a baby and has approached her GP for advice. She is sexually active and feels she should stop taking her contraceptive pills. her parent who visit her weekly are unaware of her intention but in the past they have strongly indicated that they would like her to be ‘sterilised for her own protection.
QUESTIONS: (Each question should be underlined)

1.Explain the concept of person-centred care or integrated care and the professional most likely to be involved-100 words)

2. Discuss the concept of service users involvement, empowerment with reference to the chosen case study. (80 words)

3.Identify and discuss the potential barriers to partnership working and how they can be addressed. (100 words)

.
Core Task:
Basing your arguments on the academic literature that you have studied in the first six topics of this
unit, write a report on the ways two different organisations have been able to compete in their
markets. Your report should discuss the following points about each of the two organisations:
1. Evidence that the organisation has a gain a competitive advantage from their marketing
processes.
2. Theoretical analysis of the reasons for the achievement of this advantage.
Your discussion is to be based on two suitable published case studies. This means case studies
published in the academic literature – for example, the series of case studies in a textbook, or
published in journals etc. Case studies and short articles in newspapers, magazines, website opinion
pages and the like are definitely not acceptable, although such materials may be used to supplement
the published case study and your analysis. All sources must be properly referenced. If in any doubt
about the suitability of a case study, seek an early ruling from your tutor.
This is a substantial piece of scholarly work and will require extensive engagement with both unit
theory and at least two detailed case studies.
Process:
1. Choose your two cases. They all need to be published cases in academic sources (e.g.
textbooks, journal articles). It is obviously important that each case represents an instance of
a company achieving a clear success in terms of their marketing function.
2. Analyse and locate evidence. Begin to analyse each case in terms of the two questions –
particularly question one listed previous. It is vital that you respond to both questions, but
the evidence successful marketing practice is more likely to be in the case material itself. It is
in this part of the process that you might bring in supplemental material from company
documents/websites, media analysis and so on. Be sure to reference all sources properly.
You need to try and show clear and where possible objective evidence of sustained
competitive advantage.
3. Analyse and explain. You need to move from the presentation of evidence to explaining how
the company/organisation was able to achieve its success through its strategies. This part of
the assignment requires you to consider any aspect of the marketing strategy process and/or
any aspect of the organisations’ marketing-based strategising that you think has enabled
them to sustain their competitive advantage. You will need to show that you understand
relevant theories and concepts from the course and that you can apply them to an analysis
and assessment of different companies’ marketing actions and performance. Consider using
relevant models and theoretical perspectives to make your analysis. For example, you might
find that one successful organisation has executed its marketing strategy by applying Ansoff’s
Matrix in a disciplined manner, whereas another successful organisation has executed a
successful marketing strategy by consistently exploiting some interesting form of customer
segmentation. You may find an opportunity to critique various concepts and theoretical
positions through seeing how they apply or don’t apply to your case organisations. Evidence
that you understand and can use tools discussed in the early topics of the unit will add value.
4. Write up. On completing your analysis, you obviously need to write it up. You should respond
to this task in report format, with headings and subheadings used to help readers understand
the structure of your paper. A possible structure might be:
a. An introduction which both sets up the task and the rest of the paper, and introduces
the core concepts that the task is designed to deal with. You might also take this
chance to scope the work – for example the time frame that will be used to assess the
marketing success for the case organisations.
b. Description of the two cases. Describe each case, each organisation and the sources of
your information.
c. Evidence of Marketing-related success (leading through to a competitive advantage for
the firm). Marshal all the evidence that you can that you think reveals that each
organisation has well and truly found success in the marketing realm.
d. Analysis and Explanation. Provide a detailed analysis of how each organisation
achieved its success in marketing terms.
e. Conclusion. Summarise the key points and what can be learnt from the overall analysis.

 

Please include the following in the case study:
1. A short introduction including the location of the case study, and the hazard and risk being mitigated
2. A description of the mitigation strategy
3. The costs and benefits of the strategy, including the impact on people and property
4. Public and Community support and/or opposition to the project

 
First, Read the article about IBM. (Please see the attached file of “IBM Design-Centered Strategy.pdf”)

Next, write a brief essay about following questions:

1. How the company is implementing this culture change?
2. What is an example of how the company is focusing on a structural perspective to do this?
3. A human resources perspective?
4. A political perspective?
5. A symbolic perspective?

6. Can you find, or predict, how the company will use the four dominant perspectives as they invest in this major effort?

You may wish to see the article online so that you can view the photos for more evidence of what is happening.

There are other sources of information available, too, if this interests you. See Fast Company, for example:
ibm-invests-100-million-to-expand-design-business

**In your essay, you should use the reference from the textbook (Please see the attached file “Reframing Organizations.pdf”) and outside resources to support your opinions and conclusion.*****

***Please notice writing skills (clarity, style, and grammatical structure), accuracy, quality and completeness.*****

 
This order is for two different discussions, the first discussion will go on page one and the second on the second page, please site within the duscussion where references were used at the end of reference with brackets (authors name, date) each discussion should have its own reference page.

Discussions
To participate in the following discussions, go to this week’s Discussion link in the left navigation.

1. Case Study: Authority and Leadership

Review the details of the case Authority and Leadership: Rising From the Ranks from your course text, and respond to the following questions:

1. Identify the potential advantages Julie might enjoy in becoming manager of a group of which she has long been a member, and contrast these with the possible disadvantages that might present themselves because she has long been a member of this group.
2. Describe how Julie will have to proceed in establishing herself as the legitimate possessor or supervisory authority on the unit, and describe the sources and forms of Julie’s authority.

2. Motivational Conflict Resolution

Select either Option A or Option B and indicate in your post which option you have selected.

In any organization, regardless of the industry, some level of conflict and/or office bickering is inevitable and may have a damaging impact on productivity and motivation or morale. However, it is the responsibility of the manager to ensure that conflict is avoided whenever possible, and when it does occur, it is handled in an appropriate and respectful manner. With this in mind, listen to the podcast, Stop the Medical Office Bickering and respond to your selected option.

Option A: Case Study: A Matter of Motivation: The Delayed Promotion

Review the details of the case above from your course text, and respond to the following questions:

1. Thoroughly analyze the likely state of your ability to motivate yourself in your new position. In the process, comment to whatever extent you feel necessary on your level of confidence in the relative stability of your position and how this might affect your performance.
2. Describe the most likely motivational state of your HIM staff at the time you assumed the director’s position, and explain in detail why this state probably exists.
3. Based on the podcast, what are some proactive strategies that management could have used to reduce the potential for conflict in this situation?

Option B: Case Study: Charting a Course for Conflict Resolution: “It’s a Policy”

Review the details of the case above from your course text, and respond to the following questions:

4. Develop the argument you would be advocating if you were in George Mann’s position. In a similar fashion, thoroughly develop the argument you would advance if you were in Sally Carter’s position.
5. Assuming the position of CEO, Jane Arnold, render a decision. Document your decision in whatever detail may be necessary, and include a complete explanation for your decision.
6. Based on the foregoing, outline whatever steps (e.g., policy changes, guidelines, payroll requirements, or something else) you believe should be considered to minimize the chances of similar conflict in the future.
please use one reference for each discussion
