Some challenges to consider would be (but are not limited to): an ethical challenge, a challenge occurring because of changes in the economy, a globalization challenge, or a challenge of organizational culture. Please request instructor approval of the challenge you would like to use as your focus before beginning your paper.

The Final Paper should, at minimum, include:
1. A description of the organization and its primary stakeholders. Include the vision and mission statement if they are available to the public, and the code of ethics if the company has one (if it is long, an excerpt or description is an acceptable alternative).
2. A detailed analysis of one challenge facing the leadership of the organization.
3. A strategy for overcoming the challenge based on outside research, the textbook, and concepts discussed during your degree studies.

MGT 460 Week 5 Discussion Question 1


Leading Organizational Change

As this week’s material points out, we are living in times of immense change. One of the essential tasks of an organization’s leadership is to lead organizations in a way that ensures that the entire organization is committed to the change and that support mechanisms are in place to sustain change. Research several online industries that are currently stressed by changing marketplaces and demographics: the newspaper and publishing Industries, entertainment media outlets, brick and mortar retail, and even campus bookstores.        
                                                                                                     
1. Choose an organization within one of the industries listed above, or one of your own choosing that is currently impacted by a changing marketplace.

2. How would you apply Kotter’s eights steps toward leading change within that organization?

3. Provide examples of the desired outcomes and support mechanisms you would utilize.

Guided Response: Analyze several of your peers’ posts.  Let at least two of your peers know how their chosen approach would be useful in your scenario as well.  Suggest any approaches you have found that may be helpful in their environment.



MGT 460 Week 5 Discussion Question 2


Adaptive Leadership


Adaptive work is accomplished by finding a solution to seemingly intractable problems facing leaders; the solution is neither technical, nor obvious. As the material illustrates, leaders must motivate organization members to face demanding situations that arise from the organization’s own culture and values. Using the organization you chose within this week’s first discussion, analyze an adaptive challenge facing this organization.      
                                                                                                                                                   
1. Describe the adaptive work that needs to be accomplished.

2. Analyze your approach to resolving the problem. Be certain to include questions that would arise, and what trade-offs may be required in your analysis.

3. Describe the desired outcome.  
                                                                                                                     
Guided Response: Analyze several of your peers’ posts.  Give advice to at least two of your peers suggesting any approaches you have found that may prove to be helpful in conducting their adaptive work.

MGT 460 week 3 Assignment



Goal Setting Framework

Goal-Setting Framework

The first of six steps of performance management consists of goal setting, as detailed in Chapter Three. Assume that you work for the Los Angeles Tribune, a large but struggling newspaper publisher with distribution throughout the Los Angeles region. Various problems have arisen that need to be addressed:

The cost of paper is rising
The cost of distribution is rising
Circulation revenue is down
Advertising revenue is down, largely due to free online listings offered by Craigslist and other online advertising services
Customers are largely in the 40+ age range
The current number of employees cannot continue to be supported if revenue continues to shrink
You have been selected by the CEO to construct a goal-setting framework that focuses on three of the six issues above. In your APA formatted two- to three-page paper, include a goal statement for each of the three issues you’ve chosen and describe the corresponding strategies, tactics, activities, measures of success, and goal measurements you recommend. Support each with your rationale, citing the textbook as necessary, and be sure to provide specific examples within the activities section. In addition to your two to three pages of written content, a title page and reference page are required.

For this assignment, it is possible to make reasonable assumptions regarding the organization’s economic situation and business climate. Be sure to specifically mention any such assumptions that you are making within your paper.


Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Multitasking can have an important negative impact on your ability to resource-level a project.

Multitasking can have an important negative impact on your ability to resource-level a project.
When team members are involved in multiple additional commitments, we must be careful not to assign their time too optimistically. In fact, it has been said: “Remember, 40 hours is not the same as one week’s work.” Comment on this idea. How does multitasking make it difficult to accurately resource-level a project?
Critical path and critical project requirements could indeed be separate issues. This is why you need to determine Priorities (Constrain, Enhance, and Accept) as we discussed last week. Assuming that time is the constraint, what are some things we could do to shorten duration (and cost, if possible)?

Problems Globally Virtual Teams Face Within Their Organization

Problems Globally Virtual Teams Face Within Their Organization

Research and complete a 12–15 page draft of your case analysis that you will use for your power point presentation. You will use your draft to create, select, present and submit your draft results in a PowerPoint presentation format.

The draft should look as close as possible to the final submission. Include the following items in your power point:

Introduction: Describe the intent with which the course project is being undertaken to lead to cross-cultural collaboration across geographically distributed organizations.
Explain the objective of your research and evaluation of the case study, clearly bringing out the aspects or reasons that motivated you to carry out the research and evaluation.
Provide a clear briefing on the approach that you intend to pursue for your research and evaluation.
Case study evaluation: Display the Problems, Opportunities, and Solutions table.
Explain the problem or opportunities. Also, discuss any patterns and/or paradigms that emerge from studying the problem.
Discuss the solutions you have listed and analyze the relevance of the solutions you have arrived at. Examine the relevance of the assumptions made in arriving at the solution. Describe the resource requirements and constraints.
Evaluate the feasibility of the solutions and opportunities for research on the topic over a period of time.
Discuss the designs, approaches, contradictions, and the nature of the data used in the relevant research. Use Hofstede's work as a key reference source.
Summary: This should contain a conclusion to your research and evaluation of the case study. State whether or not you agree with the findings in the case study. Finally, describe how you will apply the results in your selected organization or corporation.






The PowerPoint presentation should be a reasonable length.  An important part of this project is distilling the major points in the written draft into an effective PowerPoint presentation that is well-designed, comprehensive, visually effective and readable. Think of this as a presentation you might make to the senior executives of a company or organization or to a conference focusing on leading geographically and culturally diverse teams.

Complete your presentation with speaker notes, citations, and visual aids such as tables, charts, data, links, and images.  Remember, this is a PowerPoint presentation, not a paper simply pasted into the PowerPoint format.  The presentation should make ample use of the Notes feature and should not contain large amounts of text on any one slide.  It is particularly important that you use the Speaker’s Notes to include a lot of the information that you cannot use on the individual slides.***
