Design a System 4 Management model for a newly merged company

An American Internet Technology company has merged with a Canadian Social Media company. Because of this merger, performance is not as optimum as the executives would have hoped; morale is low, and stress is up. The new company has decided to hire you as an Organizational Development consultant. They have tasked you with finding out the issues and what they should do next to get back on track.

Instructions

As the Organizational Development consultant, the company has requested you to design a System 4 Management model for the newly merged company. You will need to create and record this as a presentation to be presented to the executives of the company. You can use any Webware/Software of your choosing for the voice recording.

Note: You need to record yourself giving the presentation; you will need your voiceover (audio) with the PowerPoint, Prezi, etc. In your presentation, you will want to address the following areas:

Introduce System 4 Management.

Discuss what a learning organization is, and how it can foster positive change.

Assess some common mistakes or problems that may happen if other management systems are used.

Provide suggestions for best practices their managers can use to incorporate System 4 Management to become a high-performing company.

Conclude your presentation with your recommendations.

Develop a preliminary data analysis and presentation plan, describing the kinds of inferences you hope to draw from your data and how you justify their legitimacy

COMPARING MODELS TO ASSESS THE RESEARCH PROBLEM

In this Case Assignment, you will be reading several articles and sources relating to different kinds of data analysis, the process of inferring conclusions from data, the legitimacy of different kinds of analyses, and the development of conclusions and recommendations from your data. You will then be asked to develop a preliminary data analysis and presentation plan, describing the kinds of inferences you hope to draw from your data and how you justify their legitimacy. You also be asked to sketch out a plan for presenting your findings for your research site and wrapping up your relationship with the site.

Case Assignment

Prepare a 5- to 7-page paper in accordance with the following Assignment Expectations, describing the analysis issues for your project that form the basis for the Methodology section of your dissertation, in accordance with the following outline:

1. Identify the major kinds of data that you plan to collect during your project. Discuss the IRB approval process. For each major kind of data, identify steps that you will take to analyze those data for purposes of the project. The readings will help you identify different kinds of data and appropriate analytical procedures associated with each.

2. Identify the main kinds of conclusions that you hope to draw from your data analysis. These might be descriptive/analytical, prescriptive in the form of recommendations, suggestions in the way of forward thinking, or some combination of these. For each type of conclusion, identify offices and people within the organization that you believe might be interested in your conclusions, and why they might be interested.

3. Identify the main deliverables from your project, and to whom the delivery would be made other than the members of your doctoral committee.

Remember, the five Case Assignments that you’ve completed in this course together constitute an effective first draft of the Methodology section of your project proposal. Therefore, you want to review the previous assignments carefully in light of the feedback that you have been given and take the opportunity to make any needed revisions or modifications so that the document hangs together clearly and effectively. Your final grade for the case part of this course will be based on the sum of the five parts taken together, so this is your opportunity to remediate any deficiencies you might have encountered in previous modules.

Please conclude your paper with a paragraph or two assessing the effectiveness of this approach to developing the methodology for your project and any lessons that you have learned during this course about the nature and conduct of academic research in applied settings.

creatively and conclusively solve a complicated problem with employment and labor law

As the Human Resource Consultant, the CEO is looking to you to creatively solve a complicated problem with employment and labor law by determining the best method(s) based on the current situation and being legally compliant. After all, there are so many laws to consider. You are tasked with answering the following questions about being compliant:

As a small business, they are required to offer FMLA? In the past employees have requested FMLA but were denied, citing that the business was a small business. What’s the impact?

In the warehouse, employees do not wear the company-issued back belts and safety glasses, which has been allowed based on the fact that it is the employees that have been refusing to wear the items. Are they legally allowed to refuse?

Is the company legally required to offer health insurance (and how much), can employees work more than 60 hours per week (paid), and does the company have to offer accommodations for employees with disabilities?

For this project assignment, you will need to conduct research.

Visit the Rasmussen online Library and search for a minimum of four articles covering the topics of FMLA and workplace safety. Conduct academic research using the library’s databases, like:

In the databases use basic search languages (controlled vocabulary/keywords) to determine employment and labor laws specific to this situation. Then, refine your searches based on your search results.
Also, conduct your research using credible websites; for example, you will likely want to use the OSHA website and government websites related to FMLA (government websites will end in .gov).
Using your research, address the following points in your paper.
Was the company legally compliant with FMLA? Explain and support with law. How can leadership make decisions that are objective and reflect the ethical treatment of others? Demonstrate how leadership can comply with laws and rules governing FMLA to employees in an ethical and professional manner.

Explain who’s at risk for legal compliance when workplace safety is not mandated or monitored? What are the ethical and professional implications?

Evaluate the impact of laws on the core beliefs or personal ethics from a perspective of the employees. What is the potential impact of ethical issues on the stakeholders of the company?

Analyse and evaluate a Stealth Marketing Approach

Kraft Mac and Cheese: A Stealth Marketing Approach
• A trend that has a critical impact on the consumer packaged goods industry in recent years is consumers’ desire for simpler, more transparent, and more natural ingredients. More companies have responded by publicly stating their intentions to remove artificial coloring and preservatives from longstanding brands and then repositioning the product as “clean” or “pure” within the market. While this strategy aligns well with trends, it risks alienating individuals who are used to purchasing goods based on more intangible factors such as nostalgia, predictability, and even taste.
• Kraft used a novel approach to handling these shifting consumer preferences. To stay competitive within the category, the company realized it had to rethink the product formula of one of its superstar brands, Kraft Mac and Cheese. However, management knew it was crucial to make changes without tainting elements of the product that consumers had come to expect. For generations, individuals had associated Kraft Mac and Cheese with its orangish hue and smooth sauce consistency. Kraft made it a point to carefully maintain these identifying attributes as it eliminated ingredients and removed artificial dyes.
Questions:
• In what way(s) could Kraft’s strategy have backfired?
• How might Kraft have been prepared for this possibility?
• How should Kraft respond to the demographic trends outlined in your textbook?

Critically analyse and explain how Broadway can leverage its success with Hamilton to increase its conversion of the younger demographic into habitual playgoers

Growing the Audience for Hamilton
• Since its debut in 2015, Broadway’s hit musical Hamilton has received critical acclaim and realized unprecedented box office sales. Just a year after opening, shows were sold out through January 2017 and ticket prices had climbed to $500. Such widespread success inspired the play’s management to think about how they could extend Hamilton’s footprint beyond Broadway.
• Hamilton’s digital team focused on attracting an even wider audience by establishing a presence on the Internet and in social media. They understood how these channels provided a unique opportunity for fans who had never seen the live show to experience the Hamilton brand. At the cornerstone of the team’s efforts were a series of online “Ham4Ham” videos. In these, the cast of Hamilton produced short and playful scenes—some were reenactments from the play; others were unrelated vignettes. In one, the cast recreated a popular scene from the West Wing of the White House right before they were set to perform for President Obama. In another, lead actor Lin Manuel-Miranda and Hamilton’s composer Alan Menken sang songs from Disney’s The Little Mermaid. The show also regularly publishes digital content across Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and YouTube, including user-generated postings. For example, the team manages an Instagram series called #HamArt, which depicts drawings and paintings of characters or scenes from the play created by its fans.
• Hamilton’s ability to reach unexpected markets stems from the producer’s adeptness at managing both an entertainment brand and a Broadway musical. By understanding the strength of creative content creation and uncovering new distribution opportunities, Hamilton’s digital team has been instrumental in earning the franchise a larger online audience than any other Broadway show, including long-standing blockbusters such as Wicked and the Lion King.
• Off Broadway, several factors have pointed to the play’s enduring success. In 2017, the cast and crew began a national tour across at many U.S. cities. Additionally, various pieces of merchandise—from sweatshirts to hats—and other collectible souvenirs from the show continue to be in high demand. Finally, Hamilton has connected with a youthful demographic who likely were uninterested in the theater previously but now have the potential to become habitual playgoers

1. How can Broadway leverage its success with Hamilton to increase its conversion of the younger demographic into habitual playgoers? What challenges might be encountered? Please be specific in your answers to both of the questions.
2. Using the criteria to evaluate business leveraging options, what other growth options exist as revenue-generating for Hamilton? Please be specific in your recommendations here.
