Planning and Organizing
A management plan is a model that demonstrates how an organization operates on a day-to-day basis as well as over the long run. A management plan includes numerous sections that cover various aspects of the business.
In this assignment students will take the role of the consultant creating a mini-management plan that focuses on those aspects of the business related to planning and organizing. The management plan is a report and as a consultant you are required to help Joseph Jackson, the leader of Cyber Software, Inc., solve his organizational problems. The 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. As a consultant, you are not defining terms using a dictionary but you must explain and describe concepts and ideas so Joseph Jackson understands what you mean and how to implement the plan. The plan is not one in which the consultant tells Joseph Jackson that he should do this or do that or he needs to do this or do that but present 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.
The mini-management plan will structure the entire company and will cover Joseph Jackson's organization's mission, vision, structure and culture.
Students will read the case study provided that focuses on the planning and organizing and respond to the following requirements.
