Students will read the case study that focuses on
the four functions of management: planning, organizing, leading and controlling
(P-O-L-C). You have been hired as a consultant to help Mike Davis and his
family to solve the problems with his business. You will create a consultancy
plan that covers the four functions of management. In creating the management
plan, you must also demonstrate how the four functions of management are
interrelated showing how issues in one function impact other functions.
In speaking with Mike, Ethan and Daisy, you already
know the following about the business owners:
- failed to develop or share a mission statement;
- failed to determine the best way to organize resources, including personnel;
- underestimates the importance of recruitment, job design and descriptions, and training;
- assumed that motivation will occur naturally;
- fails to define standards and other measurable outcomes;
- ignored negative information;
- delayed actions to improve organizational outcomes.
Note: A report is not written like a paper. Please
use the Outline

Report:
Students will create a consultancy plan that helps
Mike, Ethan and Daisy run the business, both day-to-day and over the long term
(strategically). Be succinct in your writing but persuasive so that the
recommendations will have positive outcomes for the business.

defining terms using a dictionary. Students are expected to present the
material in a professional manner describing and explaining to the owners. As a
consultant, you should be secure in your presentation to Mike, Ethan and
Daisy.. Avoid telling the owners that they should do this or must do that but
write 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 material.
