Assignment 3: LASA 1 – Change in an Organization, complete the following assignment.

Team in Transition

Al-tech Manufacturing has seen a downturn in the market which resulted in a reduction of sales and net income.  In a move to improve profitability and reduce overall administrative expenses, senior management has decided to merge with a former rival company (Border Manufacturing).   The offices of the two companies were merged which necessitated some layoffs.

You are a manager with Al-tech.  Before the merger you had a team of twelve who were responsible for the administration of payroll.  During the merger, your boss was let go along with four of your team members.  You have two new team members (John and Kerry) from the Border Company. 

John and Kerry come from a different part of the country, have a different work ethic and exhibit a different culture. They actively try to engage the existing payroll administration team members in finding ways to be more productive.

Your original team members’ response to these two new members suggestions range from hostility to curiosity as they were used to simply being told what to do.

Several members of your team have been adversely affected by the change.  For example, Bob has told you that he is actively looking for a new job and Jill’s productivity has slowed.  When asked why, she tells you she wants to know, in writing, what she needs to be doing different to meet the new reduced cost goal.  Anne, who was the energetic one on the team, is now concerned that she will be the next one to go and has become very quiet.

It was your job to pull these team members together, to determine how to do payroll for the merged company with less staff, and therefore to reduce costs.  And you succeeded!

You’ve been asked to write an article for your company newsletter, explaining what the situation was and how you succeeded in managing the change to your team.

Directions:

  1. Write a 3 to 4 page newsletter article as the manager of this fictitious company with a team as described above.  Include the following points in this article:
    1. The classification and explanation of the change as either first-order or second-order. 
    2. The challenges that team members felt due to the downsizing and the merger. Give two examples of each.  
    3. The risks you anticipated and the mitigation steps you planned in dealing with the risks.  Give an example of two risks, each with a mitigation plan. 
    4. The types of resistance your team exhibited and what techniques you used in dealing with each type.  Give three examples. 
    5. The eight steps you took, using Kotter’s change management model, to engage your team in making the transition successful. 
  2. Make sure to include at least 3 outside resources, one of which may be your text, to justify your suggestions.  Your report should be professional and directed toward middle management.

Using your text book, the Argosy library, the Internet and other sources, research organizational change and apply it to the situation described above.

Submit your assignment to the M3: Assignment 2 Dropbox.

CASE STUDY

/in /by

Read the following case study.

Ben Davis had just completed an intensive course in Statistical Thinking for Business Improvement, which was offered to all employees of a large health maintenance organization. There was no time to celebrate, however, because he was already under a lot of pressure. Ben works as a pharmacist’s assistant in the HMO’s pharmacy, and his manager, Juan de Pacotilla, was about to be fired. Juan’s dismissal appeared to be imminent due to numerous complaints and even a few lawsuits over inaccurate prescriptions. Juan now was asking Ben for his assistance in trying to resolve the problem, preferably yesterday!

“Ben, I really need your help! If I can’t show some major improvement or at least a solid plan by next month, I’m history.”
“I’ll be glad to help, Juan, but what can I do? I’m just a pharmacist’s assistant.”
“I don’t care what your job title is; I think you’re just the person who can get this done. I realize I’ve been too far removed from day-to-day operations in the pharmacy, but you work there every day. You’re in a much better position to find out how to fix the problem. Just tell me what to do, and I’ll do it.”
“But what about the statistical consultant you hired to analyze the data on inaccurate prescriptions?”
“Ben, to be honest, I’m really disappointed with that guy. He has spent two weeks trying to come up with a new modeling approach to predict weekly inaccurate prescriptions. I tried to explain to him that I don’t want to predict the mistakes, I want to eliminate them! I don’t think I got through, however, because he said we need a month of additional data to verify the model, and then he can apply a new method he just read about in a journal to identify ‘change points in the time series,’ whatever that means. But get this, he will only identify the change points and send me a list; he says it’s my job to figure out what they mean and how to respond. I don’t know much about statistics — the only thing I remember from my course in college is that it was the worst course I ever took– but I’m becoming convinced that it actually doesn’t have much to offer in solving real problems. You’ve just gone through this statistical thinking course, though, so maybe you can see something I can’t. To me, statistical thinking sounds like an oxymoron. I realize it’s a long shot, but I was hoping you could use this as the project you need to officially complete the course.”

“I see your point, Juan. I felt the same way, too. This course was interesting, though, because it didn’t focus on crunching numbers. I have some ideas about how we can approach making improvements in prescription accuracy, and I think this would be a great project. We may not be able to solve it ourselves, however. As you know, there is a lot of finger-pointing going on; the pharmacists blame sloppy handwriting and incomplete instructions from doctors for the problem; doctors blame pharmacy assistants like me who actually do most of the computer entry of the prescriptions, claiming that we are incompetent; and the assistants tend to blame the pharmacists for assuming too much about our knowledge of medical terminology, brand names, known drug interactions, and so on.”
“It sounds like there’s no hope, Ben!”

“I wouldn’t say that at all, Juan. It’s just that there may be no quick fix we can do by ourselves in the pharmacy. Let me explain how I’m thinking about this and how I would propose attacking the problem using what I just learned in the statistical thinking course.”

Source: G. C. Britz, D. W. Emerling, L. B. Hare, R. W. Hoerl, & J. E. Shade. “How to Teach Others to Apply Statistical Thinking.” Quality Progress (June 1997): 67–80.

Assuming the role of Ben Davis, write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you apply the approach discussed in the textbook to this problem. You’ll have to make some assumptions about the processes used by the HMO pharmacy. Also, please use the Internet and / or Strayer LRC to research articles on common problems or errors that pharmacies face. Your paper should address the following points:

Develop a process map about the prescription filling process for HMO’s pharmacy, in which you specify the key problems that the HMO’s pharmacy might be experiencing. Next, use the supplier, input, process steps, output, and customer (SIPOC) model to analyze the HMO pharmacy’s business process.

Analyze the process map and SIPOC model to identify possible main root causes of the problems. Next, categorize whether the main root causes of the problem are special causes or common causes. Provide a rationale for your response.

Suggest the main tools that you would use and the data that you would collect in order to analyze the business process and correct the problem. Justify your response.

Propose one (1) solution to the HMO pharmacy’s on-going problem(s) and propose one (1) strategy to measure the aforementioned solution. Provide a rationale for your response.

Use at least two (2) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Declaration of Independence Assignment

Declaration of Independence Assignment

 

The Declaration of Independence can be found in the back of you text book.  Read the Document and respond to it using the steps below.  This is not a research project…you don’t need to go online.  Everything you need to write this response can be found in the text book and in your head.  If you find yourself ‘cutting and pasting’ anything you are on the wrong path.  If the plagiarism checker turns in a report on you it is an automatic zero.

This is a simple project, don’t make me have a bad summer.

THINK! THINK HARD!! Make Me Proud!!!

 

Step One: READ the Declaration of Independence.

 

Step Two: After you READ the Declaration of Independence, you will remember the two dozen, or so, specific grievances (Which you just READ in READING the Declaration of Independence) that Thomas Jefferson brings against the King of England. Select from this list of grievances, which you READ, the three that you believe are the most grievous and why they are the worst grievances in the list, which you READ.

 

Step Three: From that same list, which you READ, select the three grievances you feel were the least grievous and explain why.

 

Step Four: Put yourself in their shoes.  If you had read this (what am I talking about, of course you have READ this) back in 1776, would you have been ready to declare independence?  Remember what that means…you would be willing to take up arms and kill your own countrymen over the grievances listed in this document.  Explain why or Why not.

Project #1.  The Standard Ethics Paper: 12 pages

PART 1:  The Problem and the Proposal

Step 1

Either

Identify a moral problem in your own life.  (This can be a problem you have lived through, one that you are confronting now, or one that you anticipate having to confront in your future).

 

Or

Identify a moral problem that is of immediate importance to you, your family, your community, or your city.    

 

Once you have identified your moral problem, you are ready for Step 2.

 

Step 2

 

Select (2) moral theories we have covered this term.  These are the theories you will you use to attempt (1) to resolve your moral problem and (2) do ‘the right thing.’

 

Once you have identified your moral problem and selected your moral theories, you are ready to complete Part 1.

 

Completing Part 1.  Your term paper proposal.  In (2) well-written paragraphs:  

 

Describe your moral problem and identify the ethical issue(s) your problem involves.

State the central question your problem raises.

Indicate which moral theories you plan to use to work through this question.

Give at least some indication of what you think your thesis/position/answer will be (it is fine if it changes as you write your term paper).

Email me your proposal with a phone number I can call to reach you.

 

Example of a term paper proposal:  

 

My cousin and her husband would like to adopt a girl from China.  Because I am both an adoptee and a professor of ethics, they have asked me for my opinion on the matter.  They claim that there are neglected orphan children who need love; that they have a moral duty to care for those in need; and that they are prepared to love this girl as their own.  They understand that as a child of Chinese descent, she might have particular needs; these needs they feel can be met by the larger community of Highland Park, Texas.  “There are some Chinese people in Dallas,” they say.  When asked what their motive is for adopting, their response is that “they have tried to have a girl.”  After three boys, however, they are no longer willing to try, and what is more, because of my cousin’s age and history, there will likely be complications with any future pregnancy.  When I ask whether they have thought about what it might be like for a Chinese adoptee to grow up in a white family and in an almost completely white community, they tell me that they will treat her like their “princess.”

 

The situation and the issues it raises can be addressed by answering a single question: should this couple at this time go forward with this adoption?  Based on the reasons they have given, the answer is “no;” and I plan to voice strong objections.  They are not adequately prepared to go forward. Their Kantian view that we have a moral duty to those in need and their belief that love and a good will can conquer all are both naïve.  They have failed to consider the long-term consequences of trans-racial adoption on either the adoptee or the adoptive family.  This is not to say that trans-racial adoption is morally wrong.  On the contrary, it is to claim that potentially difficult/painful consequences can be avoided when appropriate conditions are met prior to the adoption proper.  Since in this case these conditions have not been met, the action is morally wrong and its Kantian/conservative justification, misguided.

 

(Moral theories: Kant and Consequentialism)

 

After your proposal is approved, you can begin working on Part 2.

 

PART 2: Writing the Term Paper

If you have done a thorough job with Part 1, Part 2 should come easily.

 

Before you start writing:

 

Be sure that you can state the thesis you plan to defend in the course of your paper in one sentence.

 

 

As you write:

 

You must state your thesis at the outset of your paper.  

 

You must identify and address any and all ethical issues your problem raises. 

 

You must make reference to no fewer than (2) additional texts on the topic on which you are writing.  

 

For example:  If I decided to write on my cousin’s situation, I might refer to Freundlich’s Ethics and Adoption:  The Impact of Race, Ethnicity, and National Origin on the Adoptee and Adoptive Family and Sally Haslanger’s article on trans-racial adoption entitled You Mixed?. 

 

 You MUST use the 12 pages to:

 

Defend your position on theoretical grounds.

Explore at least one serious objection to your position. 

Offer a thoughtful response to this objection.  

 

 

ATTACHED IS MY proposal with notiece from the professor 

the note was where is the ethical problem 

he also says something aabout the proposal is too big i should narrow it down
