    Review: Outline Assignment  (DUE JUNE 9th)
    Overview
    A critical skill
    at the doctoral level is the ability to conduct scholarly research guided by
    clearly articulated research questions
    that address a specific issue or problem.
    For this literature review, your research
    will be guided by the following three Research
    Questions:
    1.     
    How
    do individual and group decision processes aid or impede business decision making?
    2.     
    What
    are the latest developments in the process of strategy development and
    execution?
    3.     
    How
    can my academic discipline (see note below), as a function within
    the organization, influence the process of business strategy development and
    execution?
    The first two questions are explored from a broad business perspective, while the third question gives you
    the opportunity to change your frame of reference to your specific
    cognate in the
    Doctoral Program.
    Note: The third
    research question deals with your Cognate (Information Systems) as a function
    that is performed in a business. This is not exploring your degree program, the
    courses you have taken, or higher education in any way. You will replace the
    words ‘my academic discipline’ in Research Question 3 with your actual academic
    discipline. Examples of academic disciplines include Finance,
    Marketing, Accounting, Information Systems, International Business Management.
    The purpose of
    this research project is for you to create a scholarly piece of graduate level
    research and writing which conforms to current APA format.
    For this initial
    assignment, you will be developing the outline for your literature review. Use
    the Research Questions as provided in the instructions above. Your outline will
    include a minimum of one level of indentation below each Research Question with
    not less than two sub‐headings not
    including the Summary. Following each
    sub-heading you will provide a one to two sentence description of what you will
    cover in that section of the literature review. Do not provide any narrative
    beyond what is being requested and be sure to include citations for any factual
    assertions you make in your descriptions. The sources documents for all
    citations provided must be included in the Reference section. Your headings must be descriptive to allow a reader to understand
    what is included each section and subsection. You can include more than two
    subheadings for each Research Question and additional levels of indentation if
    required for your discussion. In the final module you will be submitting your
    completed literature review.
    Use the format
    below:
    Introduction
    Level 1 ‐ RQ1
    Level
    2 ‐ Sub heading 1
    Level 2 – Sub heading 2
    Summary

    Review: Final Assignment (DUE JUNE 28th)
    Overview
    A critical skill
    at the doctoral level is the ability to conduct scholarly research guided by
    clearly articulated research questions
    that address a specific issue or problem.
    It is important that you include and address the research questions provided. Changing
    the research question changes the focus of the study, and the resulting
    document will not meet the requirements for the literature review. For this literature review,
    your research will be guided by the following three research questions:
    1.     
    How
    do individual and group decision processes aid or impede business decision making?
    2.     
    What
    are the latest developments in the process of strategy development and
    execution?
    3.     
    How
    can my academic discipline (see note below), as a function within
    the organization, influence the process of business strategy development and
    execution?
    The first two questions are explored from a broad business perspective, while the third question gives you
    the opportunity to change your frame of reference to your specific
    cognate in the
    Doctoral Program.
    Note: The third
    research question deals with your Cognate (Information Systems) as a function
    that is performed in a business. This is not exploring your degree program, the
    courses you have taken, or higher education in any way. You will replace the
    words ‘my academic discipline’ in Research Question 3 with your actual academic
    discipline from your program. Examples of academic disciplines include Finance,
    Marketing, Accounting, Information Systems, International Business Management.
    What are we looking for in this literature
    review?
    A literature
    review discusses published information in a particular subject area and
    sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time
    period. This literature review will be more than just a simple summary of
    information from various sources as it will include an organizational pattern
    that combines both a summary and synthesis of information. Please keep in mind
    that a summary is a re‐encapsulation of the important information found in the
    source, while a synthesis is a re‐organization and combining of that information to present a more complete
    picture. Finally, the literature review will evaluate the sources and
    advise the reader of the most pertinent or relevant points.
    How will this
    literature review be evaluated?
    Your work will be
    evaluated in the areas listed below. Be sure to review the grading rubric to
    ensure that you have addressed all areas that will be evaluated. If you are
    uncertain or have questions reach out to your professor right away for
    clarification.

    Important note
    regarding required page count: Assignments must meet the minimum page
    count indicated in the instructions. Documents that are short of the required page
    count as well as documents that address a different subject matter than
    assigned in the instructions by altering the research questions will have the
    Content area scores reduced as described below.
    For documents that
    fail to meet the content word/page count called for in the instructions, the
    professor will multiply the score in each Content area by the percentage actualy
    provided. Example:
    ·        
    The
    instructions call for 10 pages of content and the student provides 5 pages of
    content.
    ·        
    Content
    score for Academic Level of Information is determined to be 16 out of 20.
    ·        
    That
    Content score is multiplied by 0.5 for a final Content score of 8 out of 20 for
    Academic Level of Information. This is done for each Content area in the
    rubric.
    ·        
    The
    professor will provide an explanation in the Comments section of the rubric.
    Are there differences between plagiarism,
    paraphrasing, and quoting?
    Paraphrasing is
    when you take a source or someone else’s idea and say it in your own words or
    even combine the ideas of several
    authors as well as your own. When you paraphrase, you will still give the author credit through the use of an in‐text
    citation connected to the idea as well as a reference at the
    end of the paper.
    A direct quote from a source has quotation marks
    around the quote. If 40 words or more in
    length, it must be set in block quotation format.
    You can refer to the APA guide
    for more information on this.
    At the graduate level, you should be relying almost exclusively on the use of paraphrasing to
    allow synthesis of the original author’s views with your own. A direct
    quotation should only be used in this literature review (or most other
    documents you will produce) when paraphrasing would change the author’s
    intended meaning. In other words, you should only use a quotation when it is
    the only way to convey what the author intended to convey.
    Plagiarism on the
    other hand exists when the writer simply copies the words directly from the
    source without giving credit with an in‐text citation and a reference.
    Plagiarism is not permitted and the paper will not be accepted for grading.

  • Title: Strategic Analysis and Recommendation for Company XYZ: Addressing a Serious Problem with Course Concepts and Tools

    Executive Summary Report. The final executive summary report is due during Finals Week as noted in the schedule below. This report should consist of a strategic analysis of the firm using course concepts and terminology. This should build upon the progress reports and address (but not necessarily be limited to) the following points:
    a. Using appropriate quantitative and qualitative metrics, highlight one serious problem that the company is either facing currently or could face in the near future (this is possible even for relatively successful firms). The problem identification must include appropriate analysis utilizing course tools, frameworks, and terminology (such as those from the progress reports, incorporating any professor feedback; for example, the problem might be related to some industry forces becoming stronger, the company’s core competencies becoming weaker, or inappropriate implementation of diversification initiatives, among others).
    b. The team should then provide one recommendation that the company could pursue to address this problem, along with at least two related actions towards its implementation. The logic for the problem identification and suggestions must be explained using theoretical concepts and tools from this course by extracting data and information from the analyses and research. Potential risks should be recognized with some thought on how these can be avoided. 
    The entire Executive Summary Report should NOT exceed 5 pages of typed material (Times New Roman, 12pt font, double-spaced, 1-inch margins), excluding title page, table(s) of content(s), citations/references, headings, exhibits, or appendices. Note that appropriate citations/references are required. The report should incorporate any feedback on the progress reports and/or received during the team oral presentation, which is also based on similar analysis of the same company and will happen during the last few classes of the term. 
    Note: please do not use SWOT Analysis instead use Proter Five Forces. Also use veribege from the text book. no use of GEN Ai, CHATGPT, Grammarly, etc.  Cite everything as possible.

  • “Explaining Supply Chain Management and Debating the Most Critical Component” Component 1: Explaining Supply Chain Management Supply chain management is a crucial aspect of any organization’s operations. It refers to the management of all activities involved in the production and

    There are two components to this discussion prompt:
    Component 1
    You are working to implement supply chain management decisions in your organization, and a key stakeholder asks you to explain supply chain management to them. What would be the best answer to explain supply chain management to someone who doesn’t know anything about it? Assume your peers as your stakeholders when you respond to this component of the discussion question. 
    Component 2
    Next, you will be divided into two groups based on the first letter of your last name (i.e., A-K will post in favor of the cycle view of supply chain processes being the most critical component, L-Z will post in favor of push/pull being most critical.)
    While there are generally two perspectives of supply chain: cycle view and push/pull, you are assigned to argue for your prime objective as most important. Students with the first letter of their last name A-K will post in favor of the cycle view of supply chain processes being the most critical component, L-Z will post in favor of push/pull being most critical. 
    Peer responses should address competing facts, figures, and assumptions to those students who posted for the opposing expert.
