MODULE 4 – Implementing Strategic Change

Read and understand this assignment and the deadlines

 

 

YOU ARE TEAM 4:   Each of you are randomly assigned the role of Vice President of one of the following five major functional areas of Jakks Pacific:

 

– MARKETING

– FINANCE/ACCOUNTING

– HUMAN RESOURCES

– OPERATIONS/SUPPLY CHAIN

Assigned       – R&D/PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT (part 1)

 

——————— —————————–

The materials for this module are the Toy Industry/Jakks Pacific case reading from Module 3 (as well as your analysis and understanding of Jakks and their industry), the ‘UPDATE on Jakks’ provided in the Module 4 folder, and Chapter 10 of the textbook.

Review the Toy Industry/Jakks Pacific reading

Read the UPDATE on Jakks

  

Read Chapter 10

   Understanding Chapter 10 content is necessary for the PART 2 assignment

 

 

PART 2

 

Chapter 10 describes EIGHT major components of planning and effectively executing strategy or a strategic change. Your team is to consider these eight components with respect to Jakks and their strategic change initiative and to chose which FOUR you believe are most critical to this change being successful. You then will relate each functional area to these four priority change elements.

 

Your team report will address the tasks/questions below. Organize the Team report using these headings:

                 

  1. The four priority implementation components (see item #1 below)

                  III. Functional implications (see item #2 below)

  1. Team process and participation (item 3 below)

 

 

 

  1. Prioritize the top four components you believe are most critical for Jakks success. Simply provide a list of these four components with a brief description relating it to the Jakks strategic change.

A hypothetical Example (NOT relevant to the case):

  1. Building the organization: Jakks will need to develop a competent Franchise management department to implement their new business model

 

This effort requires some discussion of the implications of this change within and across functional areas. (* Don’t just leave PART 1 of this project once you’ve submitted it. You are still in the role of functional VPs). One or more specific components may only be relevant to a needed major change in one functional area. That’s okay! Implementation efforts do not have to be equal across all areas or be company-wide.

 

 

  1. For EACH of your four priority components:
  2. Describe what needs to be done (not how to do it) and WHY this is important for the success of this strategic change.
  1. Name each functional department involved in this implementation component and how they are affected/involved.

 

Therefore, this section will

NAME component ONE (e.g. “Fostering a new culture about execution”)

Name EACH of the five functional areas and describe if and how it will be involved in or affected by the efforts related to this one component of executing the change.

MARKETING

FINANCE/ACCOUNTING

HUMAN RESOURCES

OPERATIONS/SUPPLY CHAIN

R&D/PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

(*the information here should use and build on your individual reports/thinking from step 1. This is where you will need to collaborate as a team (organization) to choose and explain your plans.

 

Then do the same for your components two, three, and four.

 

 

I know time is short for this but do your best!

 

Grades will be based on: (a) understanding and addressing the assignment; (b) quality/soundness of choice of top four implementation components; (c) quality and depth of thinking about relevant functional implications; (c) and clarity and quality of writing/communication. All members will receive the same grade EXCEPT for members not adequately participating or contributing to the team effort – who will be penalized between 5-30(all) points – or members performing exceptional team leadership who may get up to 5 points extra.

What [main] factors influence the transfer of a colloquial lexical item originating in one variety of English to the other five varieties of English?

This research strives to trace a cross-dialectal transfer of colloquial lexical items through blogs and blogging in general by means of the corpus of global web-based English with certain geographic specifications. The present paper contributes to three lines of research: research on Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC), the study on World Englishes (henceforth WEs) and Bilingualism/Multilingualism, as the study of Language Contact falls within this wider field. The analyzed varieties of English will serve as an illustration of current tendencies in dialectal influence through social media. Research Questions 1. What [main] factors influence the transfer of a colloquial lexical item originating in one variety of English to the other five varieties of English? 2. To what extend blogs (and thereby social media in more general sense) act as a site of dialectal spread? 3. Which dialect of English among the six varieties is the most influential lexifier? Hypothesis 1: Geographic proximity is no longer the main factor that influences the transfer. I think prestige plays a significant role in the transfer as well. Hypothesis 2: A consistent trend towards Americanization continues and, thus, AmE is the most influential lexifier. BrE is second. Hypothesis 3: Social media is a good example of contact environment between varieties of English. Mobility exposes speakers of one variety to other varieties of English, but social media exposes them even more, since they do not need to travel/go elsewhere to find themselves in a language contact situation.

Describe and map, by creating two IDEFO diagrams, the main processes in the pre-construction phase (i.e. all the key processes preceding the construction phase) of the selected project.

Assessment task details and instructions Working individually, you are required to select and investigate a recent ‘iconic’ construction project completed in the last 10 years or currently progressing. The project can be located in any part of the world. Considering your selected iconic project, you should write a 3000-word research oriented report covering the following two tasks: TASKS 1. Introduce your selected project. The selected project should be named, and a brief background should be provided to introduce/describe the chosen project and to justify its iconic nature. Project key information and start and completion dates should be clearly specified by including relevant tables/figures. 2. Describe and map, by creating two IDEFO diagrams, the main processes in the pre-construction phase (i.e. all the key processes preceding the construction phase) of the selected project. The two IDEF0 diagrams should consist of a single Level 0 diagram (i.e., Context diagram) and a single Level 1 diagram. You should also select four processes, from your Level 1 IDEF0 diagram, and describe the flow of activities within these processes by using four UML Activity diagrams. The RIBA Plan of Work or CIOB Code of Practice for Project Management frameworks must be investigated and used to identify and map the main processes/activities and other relevant information to be included in your own diagrams. The selected framework should be clearly named in the report. Each diagram should be introduced and discussed in the report by clearly describing the processes/activities depicted in the diagram in the context of the selected project and of the selected project life cycle framework (i.e. RIBA Plan of Work or CIOB Code of Practice for Project Management). The description of the illustrated processes and activities is expected to be effectively supported by references to the selected project life cycle framework and relevant literature. You should also make appropriate assumptions as necessary and state them accordingly. The description of the four UML Assessment Information/Brief 3 Activity diagrams is expected to be more detailed than the description of the IDEF0 diagrams. Please note the following: (i) The report should focus on analysing theory and relevant publications. It should include a combination of synthesis of knowledge gained from relevant sources, your own diagrams and descriptions based on facts and theory. (ii) Students are required to acknowledge all sources from which they obtain information, by including in-text citations and references in the APA 7 th (Harvard) Style of referencing (see guidance on blackboard). (iii) The main emphasis in referencing should be on good quality secondary sources such as official reports, journal/conference articles, books. Students can also cite relevant websites. FORMAT Students should submit an individual 3000 word Microsoft Word report. All submissions should have a cover/title page and should be clearly structured by using relevant numbered chapters and sections. The cover/title page should include the following information: your programme (PMC/QS/ QSME), your study mode (FT/PT) the module name, the date, your roll number, and the total number of words included in the main body of the report (I.e., word count). A table of contents and a reference list should also be included in the report. Report basic structure example: – Report cover/title page with all requested information – Table of contents – Chapter 1 Introduction – Chapter 2 Project Background: brief background to describe the chosen project and justification of its iconic nature. – Chapter 3 Process Analysis: description of the main processes in the pre-construction phase: including the requested two IDEF0 diagrams, four UML Activity diagrams, and relevant descriptions of the processes/activities included in the diagrams. – Chapter 4 Conclusion – Reference List (APA 7th Harvard Style) Assessment Information/Brief 4 Informative headings/subheadings should be used to clearly present your material Checklist: The following checklist will help you to better organise your work. • Understand the assessment tasks and requirements – contact the tutor to clarify unclear aspects • Review the relevant module material • Research and review relevant literature to ensure you can proficiently analyse and discuss the requested topics in your report • Investigate the RIBA Plan of Work and CIOB Code of practice and use one of these frameworks to guide the creation of your diagrams and to inform your discussion • Ensure that the report is well presented and focused on the requested topics/tasks • Ensure that the report includes all requested diagrams and that each diagram is readable/clearly presented and proficiently discussed to demonstrate your knowledge of relevant processes • Check clarity of discussion and use of citations to appropriately reference your sources • Use the APA 7th referencing style for in-text citations (in the main body of your report) and in the reference list at the end of the report • Submit your report in the draft submission area of the Assessment Support module (in Blackboard), to produce the originality report and ensure that the report does not contain a large amount of text copied from other sources • Adjust the length of the report to meet the word limit requirements (3000-3300 words) and include the word count in the cover page of the report Assessment Information/Brief 5 Note: The final version of the completed assignment must be submitted to the correct Assessment Submission folder in the Process Management in Construction Blackboard module space.
