Purpose:
This homework focuses on change and the implementation of a decision. This project allows students to demonstrate what they have learned in weeks 6-8 by applying the course material to a business decision. Students will evaluate the interaction with stakeholders, management of decision consequences and change in implementing a decision. Students should review all learning activities and homeworks to ensure an understanding of key concepts.
The purpose of this homework is to have the student demonstrate how implementation of a decision involves change within an organization.
Instructions:
You are the CEO of SunPower, Inc. The job of implementing the Board of Directors' decision to move the company to New Mexico has been delegated to you. Before anything can be done in carrying out the decision, the consequences of implementing the decision must be evaluated. Stakeholders are vital to the organization and it is necessary to consider how the decision will impact them. Also, the decision will impact the business concern so be sure to consider all aspects of how the decision will impact the business.
Then create a plan that will address the changes that will occur as a result of the decision's implementation. The reasons for the choices you have made in the plan should take into account the material discussed in class and focus on communicating and creating change.
