  • Best and Worst Collaborations

    $12.00

    Best and Worst Collaborations

    General Instructions:

    In composing your responses to any homework task, please write in essay form and pay careful attention to spelling, grammar, punctuation, and clarity of expression. Both the content of your work and its presentation are important and will be evaluated as follows: 80% on quality of content (e.g., completeness, correctness, degree of advanced thinking, etc.); 20% on quality of communication and presentation.

    Task:

    This course focuses on the challenges and benefits of group problem solving. As such, it will be important and useful for you to have several personal “benchmark” experiences to which you can refer as we move along. To this end, please address the following elements as part of a cohesive and well-designed essay:

    1. Reflect on your own personal experiences solving problems in collaboration with others, and identify the “best” and “worst” of these experiences. Any size group is appropriate in each case (i.e., 2 members or more), as well as multiple groups in collaboration. Your “best” and “worst” experiences may have occurred within the same group or with two different groups. In determining your “best” and “worst” collaborations, consider both the personal interactions of the group’s members (e.g., were Problem B’s managed poorly or well?) and the ultimate results of each experience (i.e., was the relevant Problem A solved successfully and effectively?).
    2. Describe and analyze these experiences in detail based on your knowledge of AdaptionInnovation (A-I) theory – i.e., discuss “what happened” and “why it happened” using problem solving concepts. Please be as specific as possible. At a minimum, be sure to discuss the following five key concepts in relation to each experience: style, level, motive, opportunity, and the Paradox of Structure – including the impact these factors (and their variations) had within the collaborations you are describing.
    3. Finally, discuss any “residual” questions and/or comments that you have about these “best” and “worst” collaborative experiences (e.g., things you are still wondering about or other thoughts you may have about them).

    Case Study: Lola

    Rose (Mother)

    Lola is a girl with some problems. She’s always nervous and angry, and she has conflicts with friends and family. She has never had long friendships and seems to be quite difficult for others to get along with. I can’t seem to ever make her happy, and I can’t try anymore. I never had many friends growing up either, and I came through just fine. I don’t know why she can’t just be more like her sister, Emily.

    Eduardo (Father)

    Lola is a beautiful, sweet girl. She’s experiencing some difficulties now—maybe you could call it an identity crisis. But she’ll come through with flying colors. She always has. She is the apple of my eye, and I know that she will get through this.

    Emily (Sister)

    Lola is my older sister. She was always the smart one. She used to do so well in school. Then I don’t know what happened. She moved away last year when she went away to college. I miss her. I wish we had a better relationship. One day she loves being with me and the next she is picking fights with me and tells me what I’m doing wrong, but she’s my only sister. She is so strong and is never afraid to share what she thinks. I know she is lonely—she doesn’t have many friends. She always seems to fight with everyone, but she is kind at heart, and she is so talented. You should see her paint—so beautiful. I want to be more like her.

    Lola

    I’m Lola. Where do I come from? What are my roots? I’ve often wondered. The facts are simple enough, but the feelings are not. Objectively, it all started twenty years ago, when my father (a warm, loving, teddy-bear character) and my mother (a pretty, icy princess) welcomed me into their arms (I hope). Soon after, they extended another welcome to my sister Emily. As soon as Emily and I were both in school, my mother went back to work. She is a researcher for Jax Enterprises. We moved around a lot when I was little, and I remember being pretty lonely and not having many friends. There didn’t seem to be time for family outings or gatherings. I guess we weren’t that important to my parents.

    In sixth grade things really clicked! I got fantastic grades. I always did well in school. I had some friends, but most of my classmates were very jealous of me. Through a contest in a local department store I got into modeling children’s clothes. I loved the attention and the extra clothes. I was the envy of all the kids in school, and I got a kick out of showing them my photo album. The pictures were amazing!

    Then the bubble burst. I started turning into myself and often hated what I saw. In seventh grade, I was miserable. That’s when my weight problem started. I didn’t have acne, at least, but I didn’t have dates or boyfriends either. At the end of the year, I transferred to an all girls’ school. I made one or two friends, but nothing serious or meaningful. Everyone was always so weird to me. I think most of the girls were jealous of me—they weren’t models, and nothing special really. Some of them acted nice to me, but I know it was because they wanted to know private things about me—things that I don’t share with anyone. What really excited me was painting and music (piano). The school had excellent teachers and facilities, and I really gave it everything I had until I graduated from high school. When I was playing the piano I was out of time, out of space, soaring with the notes. In painting, I was lost in colors—I felt I was actually moving in and out of the canvas. I went from one to the other and felt totally fulfilled and everything seemed right with the world.

    When I graduated high school, I decided to go east to college and was accepted at Williams College. The dorm food was so awful, so I lost a little weight. I worked really hard and got good grades in the classes I cared about, but I broke out into a sweat every time I had to take an exam. I worried a lot about essay exams, but the objective ones really knocked me out. My sophomore year, I went out with a boy from Harvard, and I thought I was in love. At last, I was in a genuine relationship. He was so sweet to me. He told me I was smart and beautiful. He made me feel special at first, but then after about six months he became cruel. I think he was cheating on me, but he denied it. I think he was lying all along.

    When we broke up, I just fell apart, and so did my world. I’d wake up at night with terrible nightmares. During the day, I just couldn’t concentrate—perhaps I didn’t even want to. I had trouble sleeping at night and drank whole quarts of hot chocolate with marshmallows—trying to fill up the empty places. I gained weight and couldn’t look at myself in a mirror. I had trouble studying, got very scared in exams, and started cutting classes. My grades got so bad, I was put on probation. I couldn’t decide what to major in and didn’t think any department would want me as a major anyway.

    People are always telling me how beautiful I am, but I’m not always sure they’re being sincere. I think they want something from me and they are just trying to be nice to get over on me. I know that I am pretty, but why are they saying these things? It just doesn’t make sense.

    I still don’t have a major—I don’t even have a meaning. How can someone decide what field to concentrate in until they know what they want to be? I’m still searching. I’m thinking seriously about dropping out of school—at least for a while until I find out. But if I drop out of school, I will have to leave the dorm and I won’t have anywhere to live. Where will I go? The dorm gives me a place to stay and three meals each day so I really can’t leave, can I?

    1. In reading Canaday’s writing on early Picasso and early Cubism, I’m less interested that you memorize all of the intricacies of Cubism than that you get a sense of what Canaday thought was important about Picasso. Canaday’s describes Picasso in a manner that defined what people of the 1940s and 1950s expected of a “modern” artist. Answer two questions:
      1. What are some of the words that Canaday uses to characterize Picasso as a person and artist? Pick a few choice ones.
      2. How many times did Picasso change in the period described by Canaday? Why do you think that “changing” is important in describing a “modern” artist?

      1. Summarize Gaiger’s argument about what American modern (abstract) art of the 1940s and 1950s stood for? Reading Stonor’s article on the CIA will help you to understand Gaiger’s text.

  • Suggestions for and against of utilizing the available space of restaurant

    $22.50

    Services Marketing

    Elias Farmington owns a relaxed, comfort food restaurant in downtown Busyville, NH. He serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and is open from 6am to 9pm. His restaurant is very busy from 7-9am, 11am-1pm, and 4-7pm. Sometimes there are lines outside and a packed lobby, which changes the “relaxed” atmosphere he works hard to maintain. He wants his customers to be served in a timely manner, and to enjoy their experience there, but the busy times stress his staff and the slow times are not productive, since he only makes money through “table turnover” and “average check” per turnover.

    He is considering the following options:

    1. The space next door to his restaurant is available and he could expand into that space, but it is very expensive, would need to be a long term lease, and would require extensive renovations (also very expensive). Should Elias take the chance and invest? Explain your thinking by discussing the pros and cons.
    1. Elias’ staff works 8 hour shifts, with one 30 minute and two (2) 15 minutes breaks, meaning 7 hours of productivity per shift. He is considering adding some additional kitchen and wait staff, and shortening the shifts to 4 hours. He needs to figure out how to schedule the newly configured staff to cover the busy times and cleanup/setup in between. What might a new schedule look like and why/how will it help Elias with productivity? Explain your thinking by discussing the pros and cons.
    1. Elias’ daughter wants to extend the business by starting up a food truck which will go on breakfast and lunch schedules to a local industrial park and 2 other areas of the city where a large number of their customers work. She wants to take orders ahead of time and use the food truck as a delivery method, and also let customers place orders and get them to go right from the truck. Will this smooth demand in the restaurant so it is less busy at peak hours, while maintaining Elias’ customer base? Or will the cost of the truck, staff and service outweigh the sales potential? How will he know how many customers will come in rather than use the truck service on any given day? How would he schedule the kitchen and wait staff to be sure he could manage demand in the restaurant?   Explain your thinking by discussing the pros and cons.
    1. Elias’ son has come up with some promotional ideas to help smooth demand, such as early bird specials with senior citizen discounts to bring some dinner folks in early, and brunch specials to bridge the hours between breakfast and lunch. These would minimize the rush periods somewhat, while increasing the table turn over the course of the day. However, there might be some minimizing of the average check, also. Elias wonders, will this be offset by increased volume at off peak times? Will it also make it difficult to clean up and setup between busy times, adding stress to his staff?   What would it take to pull this off successfully and affordably? Explain your thinking by discussing the pros and cons.
    1. Elias’s brother says that Elias should raise his prices and “thin the herd” of breakfast and lunch customers. Will the increase in check amount per table balance the lost income from customers not willing or able to pay the higher prices? Is there another way to incorporate pricing into the solution?   Explain your thinking by discussing the pros and cons.

    What should Elias do? The downside of success can sometimes be having too many options, and not knowing which will fail and which will succeed.   The key is understanding customers and services marketing. After you discuss the pros and cons of each of the above suggestions, choose the best option or blend of options and explain IN GREAT DETAIL WHY YOU BELIEVE IT WILL BE SUCCESSFUL!

    Your midterm should be 2-3pages, 1.5 spaced with 1 “ margins in 11 point Arial or Times New Roman type. It should take the following format:

    1. List the important components and considerations in the case.
    2. For each option, describe and discuss the pros and cons thoroughly (minimum of 1 fully developed paragraph for each pro and each con).
    3. List and discuss the constraints for each option in detail.
    4. Thoroughly discuss the options, including relating the pros, cons and constraints to the components and considerations you listed.
    5. Select the best option or blend of options, and explain in great detail how it will address the issues in the case and why it is the best way to do so.

    Grading will be as follows:

    Pro’s, cons, constraints – 15 points for each option, (total 75)based on depth of analysis, use of services marketing concepts, writing, and organization of thinking in your paragraphs.

    Relating option choice to components and considerations – 10 points, based on thoroughness of discussion, ability to make and describe connections among services marketing concepts and the analysis of available options. As always, writing and organization is expected so that your thinking is clearly understood.

    Explanation of how chosen option addresses issues best – 15 points, based on thoroughness and depth of discussion, writing and organization, use of services marketing concepts and terminology.

  • Assignment 1 Scope

    $20.00

    Assignment 1 Scope
    The scope of this assignment is Procurement applied to your PM organization. It is designed to apply new concepts in a practical way.

    1. Choose a web site specific to a contractor or supplier related to your field in PM.
      Identify the company and very briefly summarize their scope of activities. Note that there are not many marks for this part of the assignment. It represents an introduction and framework for the balance of the assignment.
    2. Discuss with the support of appropriate refereed articles, the ways the web site enables you to carry out preliminary prequalification of the company (for a hypothetical tender). In this part you should make up a tender scenario associated with the company you have identified. Don’t be too elaborate. Think and write about prequalification and show the ways that the company provides specific prequalification information on its web site. Identify prequalification information/ detail where it occurs. Obviously the web site will have to have some appropriate information that would relate to prequalification. If not, choose another web site that does.
    3. With reference to your own Project management organization, describe how prequalification will help produce a successful project outcome. Think about your organization and suggest the benefits to tendering processes that you may achieve when you carefully prequalify the company that you have identified.

    Acknowledgment of Sources
    All resources used must be acknowledged using Chicago style of referencing. You should read extensively to complete this task.
    The assignment is not to exceed 4 pages or 1500-2000 words long. The word count must be recorded.
