Leadership Development Plan

Before you can fully reflect on how your organization (and you) support followers in their leadership development, you must identify the current practices. Evaluate the leadership development plan in your organization.

Are the steps or process included on the website or only found internally?
Are they communicated regularly with a time-bound process, such as quarterly or at the end of the school, calendar, or fiscal year?
After identifying the leadership development plan in place, analyze which of the actions addressed in the course thus far are clearly integrated into the plan?

In a short synopsis, list where the development plan is communicated, the time frame for steps (if any noted), and which portions of the plan you feel are highlighted in the course thus far.

Leadership Groups

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Leadership Groups

Picture a traditional large table in a conference or boardroom in your organization where the leaders meet for important meetings. With that table in mind, now picture a meeting where the leaders will be sharing a critical new initiative for your organization. Other than the executive level leaders, who else would be invited to that meeting? Who gets to have a seat at the table for such a meeting? How are other stakeholders who are not in the typical leadership group included in the roll-out of the plan, or sought out to give input prior to the internal roll-out of the initiative?

For this formative assessment you can create a graphic representation of those sitting at the leadership table and why they are invited to the table, along with a list of who would not be invited to the table that could share valuable insights to support the process.
If you would prefer to write instead of illustrate, you can list the participants with a brief evaluation of why you feel they are or are not invited to the table.

Business Problem Solving Project

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Business Problem Solving Project

Section One: The business client and their business problem (10%, 250 words)

A brief summary and history of your client, including decision-maker who has commissioned this project.
A short description of the situation that prevails for your client at the outset of problem solving (i.e., the state of affairs that are problematic).
Provide clear evidence of the business problem, ideally quantifying the problem and illustrating it graphically.
A set of observations or complications around the situation that creates the tension or dynamic that captures the problem (i.e., what changed or what went wrong that created the problem).
In the form of an objective (e.g., To reduce Coca-Cola’s plastic waste by 50% by 2026 without sacrificing profit margin), define a specific, measurable and actionable problem.

Section Two: Problem structure and components logic tree (20%, 500 words)

Use an initial logic tree (i.e., factor/lever/component) to break the problem into component parts or issues (e.g., causes of the problem) to illustrate and define the basic structure of the problem.
This should be evidence-based, using a combination of credible industry and academic literature, evidence and theory, covering the problem generally (based upon the academic literature) and the problem in the context of your client (based upon the industry literature).
Provide a fully-referenced commentary of the logic tree.
It is expected that this logic tree will have three layers – branches should expand at each layer.

Business Problem Solving Project

Section Three: Solution drivers and hypothesised solutions logic tree (30%, 750 words)

Using the basic problem structure logic tree as a guide to locate further industry and academic literature, evidence and theory, produce a more complete logic tree (i.e., deductive logic, hypothesis or hybrid of the two) of:
1. solution drivers, which help us to see potential pathways to solve the problem,
2. concluding with your hypothesised solutions as the leaves of your logic tree.
Provide a fully-referenced commentary of the logic tree.
It is expected that this logic tree will have four layers – branches should expand at each layer, although not necessarily for the fourth layer of hypothesised solutions.

Section Four: Prioritisation of hypothesised solutions (20%, 500 words)

Using the prioritisation matrix, consider all of the hypothesised solutions from the leaves of your second logic tree to prioritise those that have the biggest impact on solving the problem and which you can most affect to find the critical path to solving your problem.
Prune the tree to remove the ‘leaves’ that are not on the critical path to solving the problem, establishing the hypothesised solutions that will be taken forward to be workplanned.
Provide a fully-referenced commentary of the prioritisation matrix.

Business Problem Solving Project

Section Five: Workplan (15%, 375 words)

Starting from the prioritised hypothesised solutions established in the previous step, propose a workplan for how you will test your hypothesised solutions and inform their implementation via data collection and analyses, so to be able to reach a conclusion on the solution to the problem.
For each prioritised hypothesised solution identify the following columns in a chunky workplan:

a research question that will guide data collection and analysis to test each hypothesised solution and inform their implementation,
the data required and how you will access or collect it,
the data analysis techniques you will use,
timing of this work and
the anticipated analysis end product (e.g., a graph).

Using a Gantt chart, produce a lean project plan covering key activities and fixed milestones of your proposed project over a three-month period of work.

Section Six: One-day answer (5%, 125 words)

Conclude your problem-solving project proposal with a one-day answer to convey what understandings are emerging, what unknowns still stand between you and the problem resolution and your best guess at a resolution. Use APA referencing style.

MBUS103 Global Managerial Economics

By AssignmentHelp Blog

MBUS103 Global Managerial Economics

This case study is designed to assess students’ understanding of demand theory and application of the Excel functionalities. It is to introduce the steps and quantitative methods and tools to estimate demand function which is the primary objective of managerial economics. It will involve the estimation of demand using the graphical methodology and OLS regression methodology. It will be introduced how the estimated regression model will be used for forecasting future demand for the subject product.

Case: A coffee producer, The Turco Coffee intends to introduce a new 1 kg coffee grounds with a differentiated characteristic. And wishes to estimate the demand curve for the new coffee grounds. They have conducted a questionnaire survey of 1,462 people interviewed while they are shopping for a similar coffee grounds at different places in a month. Each people were asked whether they would actually purchase the coffee grounds at each price level represented to them. The price and quantity demanded relationship is classified by the answers of the people. The Excel spreadsheet, Demand Model SS23.xlsx, includes the demand schedule (cross-section data) collected by the consumer survey.

MBUS103 Global Managerial Economics

TASKS

Identify the main determinant of demand for the introduced product – the new coffee grounds. Write the function of demand in the following form and explain the economically interpretable relationships.

Q_d = f(X₁, X₂, X₃, X₄,X₅ )

Analyze why and in which way the demand is affected by the determinants of demand for coffee grounds.

Using the graphical method estimate (drive) the demand curve by plotting the price (P) and quantity demanded (Q_d) using XY chart. Comment on the relationship between P and Q_d.

Apply Regression analysis. To complete the modelling of the demand function, you hypothesize that the quantity demanded of coffee grounds (Q_d ) is a function of its price (P).

For this task you are required to utilise simple regression analysis which is to be conducted using cross section data provided with the file Demand Model SS23.xlsx.

MBUS103 Global Managerial Economics

The model has he following form:

Q_d = b₀ + b₁ P + e_i

Where:

bs: are the intercept and estimated coefficient with the regression procedure.

e_i: is the error term

Questions

Using economic theory, what are the hypothesised signs of the parameters, (b₀, b₁)
Estimate the regression equation using excel and write the estimated equation.
Interpret the estimated b coefficients for independent variables.
Compare your hypothesized signs (question 1) with your estimated sign. If there are any discrepancies, provide an appropriate explanation.
Using the results from the regression analysis, are your estimated parameters statistically significant? Write null and alternative hypothesis and apply t test procedure to justify the significance of the β coefficients and explain.
Estimate the confidence interval for b₁
Write null and alternative hypothesis to apply F test procedure to test the validity of the model you estimated and explain.
Interpret the estimated adj R²
Estimated regression model can be used to forecast the demand for the next period.

MBUS103 Global Managerial Economics

Assume that the expected value of the independent variable, the market price will be $35 for the next year.

Estimate the value of dependent variable, quantity demanded of new coffee grounds.

Conclusion

Provide a brief summary of the procedures you applied, problems, limitations and other issues of estimating demand. Use APA referencing style.
