Project description
Review the Assignments for this course, accessed by clicking on the Assignment tab at the top of your screen, and then selecting each “Unit# – Assignment,” reviewing the description, type, and deliverables. Explain your proposed approach for conducting the necessary research to develop quality deliverables, and explain how the information gleaned will support your career development in management

Unit 1: Evaluate the management practices in an organization / Assess general leadership skills with emphasis on the area of concentration

The new chief executive officer (CEO) of your company is a strong believer in the four functions of management theory. In preparation for a management meeting, he has asked you to write a report that he can use to explain the theory to his management team. In the report, he would like to see some specific examples of firms that practiced these four functions. For a company with which you are familiar, use each of the four functions to do the following:
•    Assess how the overall management team performed in terms of the four functions of management, which are as follows:
o    Planning
o    Organizing
o    Leading
o    Controlling
•    Identify and explain the strong points of the managers.
•    Identify and explain areas in which improvement is needed.
If you do not have any firsthand experiences, ask friends or colleagues for anecdotes or search the Web for specific, real-life examples.
Specifically regarding the controlling function of management, answer the following questions:
•    How did most employees feel about the monitoring of activities that managers put in place to monitor employee performance and overall company performance?
•    How well was the need for control and monitoring explained to everyone before the controls were put in place?
•    Did the controls have a meaningful impact on the overall department or company performance? Cite some specific examples
Unit 2
You have just been promoted from front-line supervisor to be one of the firm’s senior managers. During your business education, you learned that the primary role of a manager is to make good decisions. As a supervisor, you had frequently been making routine decisions, but you realize that decision making for the overall company can and will have far greater impact on the company and its employees.
Your boss, the chief executive officer (CEO), realizes that you do not have much practice in this higher level, decision-making process and has asked you to write a memo describing your understanding of how to make important decisions.
Your memo should address the following questions:
•    Describe at least 3 criteria that would determine whether the manager is making good decisions. What should be done to better assure that you are making a good decision?
•    In the realm of decision making, what are assumptions? Rather than use a dictionary definition, cite several specific assumptions that would go with any real-life decision you have made or have seen made at a company at which you have worked.
•    Given the importance of proper assumptions, your boss asked you to assess the accuracy of certain business assumptions and what could you do to test or confirm the credibility of them. The following were major assumptions for each firm:
o    An automobile manufacturer’s assumption that the demand for SUVs would continue because gas prices would continue to rise
o    An airline’s assumption that there was a need for an airline that provided no added amenities

Unit 3
You are the newly appointed department manager. Your department has not been performing well, and you have been investigating why. You soon realize that the firm has had no formal performance appraisal system. Supervisors that need to do a better job have not been receiving any kind of formal feedback.
To correct this situation, you will begin by creating a performance grading form that will be used to assess the front-line supervisor’s performance. Create a form that includes areas the supervisors should be graded on and the relative weight or importance assigned to each category. For example, should 30% of the weight be assigned to communication skills versus 20% for coaching skills?
You want to make sure that the grading form reflects what you feel are the indicators of a good front-line supervisor’s performance.
Create the form including the relative weights of each category and the grading scale to use (for example, for grading criteria you could use 1–9; low, mid, or high; or poor, mediocre, average, or excellent). Justify why you chose those criteria and why you assigned particular weights.
Unit 4
The Unit 4 Assignment in this course is to complete the Comprehensive Assessment located at the link listed below. The assessment results are used to measure program-level learning outcomes as required by accreditation authorities. You are required to complete the assessment to receive points for this assignment. Although you do not need to prepare for this assessment, you need to do your best to provide the best data for continuous improvement and to earn the highest points possible on this assignment.
The assessment is a graded assignment. The points you earn for the assessment will be based on the following table:
Unit 5
Using your current work organization (or an organization of interest) and a second organization in the same industry as the subject matter, research the elements of business, compare and contrast the two selected organizations, and prepare an APA formatted paper that:
•    Analyzes the basic legal, social, and economic environment in which the organizations operate

o    Company Culture and Performance
