Top Choice-A Case Study in Succession Management by: By Steve Weingarden, Ph.D
This is a scenario-based case study with a structured exercise available. It is intended for upper-level undergraduate students, preferably with a basic understanding of organizational structure and selection. Upper-level undergraduate students will engage in a case study about succession planning management-specifically at the executive level in a highly public situation-and job analysis.
Learning Objective(s)
Upper-level undergraduate students will engage in a case study about succession planning management - specifically at the executive level in a highly public situation-and job analysis. At the end of the case study, students will be able to:
1. Identify and develop sources of information used for executive selection.
2. Learn the various factors that should be taken into account in designing an executive job.
3. Identify how organizations gain a sustainable competitive advantage through human capital strategies.
4. Identify the framework for planning and scoping a project for a client.
Expectations
Your paper should be a full 4-5 page in length, (excluding cover sheet/title page and references). You are expected to deal with these issues in an integrated fashion, rather than treating them as a series of individual questions to be answered one by one. For this case assignment, you will be applying effective communication skills in a business environment.
You will be particularly assessed on:
• Your understanding and analysis of the course/module reading materials. Apply the theories that you covered within the required module readings into the context of the assignment; simply repeating what the article/case study says does not constitute an adequate paper.
• Your ability to apply the professional language and terminology of the underlying model.
• Your effective and appropriate use of in-text citations to the assigned readings and other sourced material to support your arguments.
