The Symbolic Frame

Case Assignment

After you have reviewed the contents of the Walt Disney Company website, read the materials included at the Background page of Module 4, and performed additional research from the library and the internet, write a 1800 words minimum paper paper in which you do the following:

Using the following five assumptions of the Symbolic Frame, complete an in-depth assessment of the Walt Disney Company:

  1. What is most important is not what happens but what it means.
  2. Activity and meaning are loosely coupled; events have multiple meanings because people interpret experience differently.
  3. In the face of widespread uncertainty and ambiguity, people create symbols to resolve confusion, increase predictability, find direction, and anchor hope and faith.
  4. Many events and processes are more important for what is expressed than what is produced. They form a cultural tapestry of secular myths, heroes and heroines, rituals, ceremonies, and stories that help people find purpose and passion in their personal and work lives.
  5. Culture is the glue that holds an organization together and unites people around shared values and beliefs.

The Symbolic Frame

The Symbolic Frame

The key aspects of this assignment that are to be covered in your 1800 words minimum paper include the following:

  1. Briefly describe the theory underpinning Bolman and Deal’s Symbolic Frame, discussing its usefulness in organizational analysis, and its utility in our understanding of organizations.
  2. Using Bolman and Deal’s Symbolic Frame, choose 3-4 examples of symbolic characteristics of the Walt Disney Company (you may choose some aspect of the organization’s culture – e.g., artifacts, stories, values, belief systems, etc). Then, examine your chosen examples using the above assumptions of Bolman and Deal’s Symbolic Frame.
  3. Of the 3-4 examples you have discussed above, which do you believe is the most salient mechanism or process by which the Walt Disney Company creates meaning for its members? Is this mechanism or process made explicit or tacit (or both) for Disney’s members?
  4. What conclusions can you draw from your use of the Symbolic Frame as it is applied to the Walt Disney Company? In other words, what have you learned about the company? How is use of the Symbolic lens helpful relative to informing outsiders as it concerns the organization’s approach to leadership?
  5. In the final section of Chapter 4, conclude by commenting on which of the Four Frames (or combination of frames) you believe is most useful to our evaluation and understanding of the Walt Disney Company. Explain.
  6. The background readings will not give you all the answers to the Case. Therefore, you are required to perform some research in the library, and use a minimum of 3-4 scholarly sources from the library to support and justify your understanding of the case.
  7. Your paper must demonstrate evidence of critical thinking (if you need tips on critical thinking, this is an excellent resource). Don’t simply restate facts – instead, be sure to interpret the facts you have accumulated from your research.

Hero’s Story Analysis

  1. Choose one of the questions below to focus your response, or you can come up with your own question after consulting with me.
  2. Make sure you have a point to make about the text before you start. How does your answer to the question change how we should understand the story?
  3. Once you’ve decided, go back to the text and look for proof. You’ll need to use sufficient proof in your response to make your point. Keep in mind, though, that block quotes will hurt your response more than they help it. Focus on short, direct quotes from the test instead. Remember to cite your textual evidence in your response.
  4. Both your introduction and conclusion should grab and keep the attention of your readers; the introduction should roadmap the paper, and the conclusion should answer the important question: “so what?”.

  3. How does this story take on the same type of hero’s journey that we’ve seen in other stories in this class? How does it do things differently?

ULMS370 Competitiveness in Football

First Half: Reading

This week’s core reading is:

Buraimo, B., & Simmons, R. (2008). Do sports fans really value uncertainty of outcome? Evidence from the English Premier League. International Journal of Sport Finance3(3)..

Please pay particular attention to the concept of match outcome uncertainty and how it is measured.

Please annotate, make notes, prepare any questions for class. What do we learn from the article regarding the following?

How probabilities for outcome are constructed?

How is match uncertainty of outcome measured?

What is the relationship between the different measures of match outcome uncertainty used in the paper?

Put forward at least one alternative measure of match outcome uncertainty.

ULMS370 Competitiveness in Football

Second Half: Data Analysis

The source of data for this exercise is www.football-data.co.uk. Complete the following steps and report your analysis and finding.

Download data for the 2022-23 season for the Premier League, the Championship, League One, League Two and the Conference from  https://www.football-data.co.uk/englandm.php.

Using the data for the betting company B365 (note that there are many others), generate unadjusted probabilities for a home win, a draw and an away win in each match. This can be done by taking the reciprocal of the betting odds data in each of the columns: ‘B365H’, ‘B365D’, and ‘B365A’.

The reciprocal of is

In a separate column, add the values of the three reciprocals. On average, what is the sum? Why is the sum greater than 1? What are the implications of values less than 1?

In new columns, generate adjusted probabilities for the home win, the draw and the away win for each match. The sum of the adjusted probabilities for each match should sum to 1. The adjusted probabilities for the home win, the draw and the away win respectively are where is the adjusted probability for a home win and is the unadjusted probability for a home win. The other variables can be interpreted accordingly.

ULMS370 Competitiveness in Football

Now based on the adjusted probabilities, compute measures of match outcome uncertainty. These may follow those in the literature, but these could equally be of your own design. For example, a measure might be Based on 5 above, which of the five leagues delivers the highest levels of match uncertainty across the season?

Stoppage time: Other ways of measuring competitiveness

What are the fundamental flaws of match outcome uncertainty as a measure of competitiveness in football?

What alternative approaches and measures might overcome the flaws identified? APA.

Annotated Bibliography and Reflection

Instructions

During the last seven weeks of class, you have been asked to read several journal articles. You have been asked to reflect on your cultural identity as you consider the many levels that constitute your identity.

For our final assignment, you will choose four articles from the articles you have been asked to read in class and/or from the article list provided for the Week 6 assignment to create an Annotated Bibliography. You will complete three items for each of your four sources:

Annotated Bibliography and Reflection

  1. Reference: Complete an APA reference for each article
  2. Annotation: Complete an annotation for each article.
  • The annotation is not a summary or paraphrase. In this paragraph, you will interpret and evaluate the contents of the article itself. It is a narrative paragraph of about 100 words providing information and assessment about the article.

Annotated Bibliography and Reflection

  1. Reflection: Write a reflection for each article. The reflection should connect your intercultural communication experience(s) with information from the article as it applies to you personally (This section only can be written in first person).
  • In this paragraph of about 100 words, relate the information that you have evaluated in the article to your own cultural identity and intercultural communication. This is a reflective piece where you are able to connect the information in theory to an understanding of your own identity.
