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:
integrate management theories and principles into management
practices
employ effective planning processes to develop strategies,
goals, and objectives in order to enhance performance and sustainability
organize human, physical, and financial resources for the
effective and efficient attainment of organizational goals
identify the essential characteristics 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.
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
mini-management plan should be presented in a professional manner using single
space, double-spaced between paragraphs.
The final product will be between 5-7 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.

students are probably not familiar with writing a management plan, the
following resources have been provided to assist in writing the plan.

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

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
