Benchmark – Organizational Design, Structure, And Change Presentation

/in /by

Each year Fortune magazine publishes a “Most Admired” list of the top companies in the United States. Firms are rated on these eight dimensions: innovativeness, quality of management, long-term investment value, social responsibility to the community and the environment, people management, quality of products and services, financial soundness, wise use of corporate assets, and, if international, a ninth dimension: effectiveness in doing business globally.

For this assignment, select a familiar organization (you are encouraged to select an organization in which you have been employed for at least 6 months). Then, choose one of the eight dimensions used to rate top U.S. companies in which the organization appears to be underperforming. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation (12-15 slides) that addresses the following:

  1. Identify a major issue the organization is facing and in which dimension (of the eight identified above) it is underperforming. Explain the ramifications the underperformance is currently having on the organization. Identify the likely consequence of failure to improve in the selected dimension.
  2. Analyze the relevance of the current organizational structure, design, and culture and their influence on organizational effectiveness, especially in relationship to the dimension in which the organization is struggling.
  3. Determine whether the organization embodies the principles and values of conscious culture and management and its relevance to improving organizational function.
  4. Present a plan to bring about necessary improvement using Kotter’s 8-step change model.
  5. Address possible challenges to the suggested change and your plans for managing those challenges.
  6. Explain how different subsystems need to be realigned in order to bring about the change.
  7. Detail any lessons learned and evaluate strategies that you as a manager will either avoid or engage in when designing the structure, building culture, and managing change in your organization.
  8. Present evidence from at least three scholarly articles to support your position and proposed change initiative.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Chapter 4 Video Activity: Requiem Mass

/in /by

In the course of this chapter, you will see how Western classical music evolved from monophonic chant to more complex four-voice polyphony. To get a feeling for the music of the Middle Ages, listen to the opening of an early fifteenth-century Requiem Mass (Mass for the Dead). https://youtu.be/kcRku6UL9YQ?list=PLC8C8303D7E9A6B38

 

As you listen, ask yourself the following questions: Can I understand the Latin text? Even if I can’t understand it, does this lessen how I feel about these sounds?

 

Similarly, do you find this music from 600 years ago any less beautiful than that of today? Judging from this one musical example, have humans gone forward, backward, or sideways?

Environment Ethics Question

/in /by

Transporting goods from one place to another has been with us since hunting and gathering days. Memories of the Great Silk Road with merchant and nomadic caravans making the trek East to West, South to North brings many visions and legends.

Over the centuries changes have occurred in how much time this movement has taken, what modern devices substituted for the original, and the implications of the modifications: are they indeed improvements or do they bring about more or less change? In some cases, improvements in navigation brought about more economic ways to transport goods and personnel. Creative engineering projects brought forth two major international waterways – the Suez and Panama Canals each impacting global trade and balance of economic and political power! Reliance on manufactured engines to propel various forms of transportation would bring about choices: air, land, or sea?

Innovation would provide some interesting changes in the shipment of goods. Containerization – a term used for standardization and efficient packaging goods for shipment would have an impact on freight handling from the late 1950 s through the early 2000 s. Malcolm McLean who had a trucking company operating along the eastern seaboard of the United States was aware of the deterioration of the highways prior to the construction of the United States interstate road system. With increasing numbers of semi-trucks towing trailers, and hauling goods, the roadway was starting to crumble. Finding more efficient ways to move goods without loading/unloading as each method of conveyance was changed, was imperative. Sealed containers would solve this dilemma. It would make it possible for ships to load and unload secure cargo in shorter time periods, cutting down on heavy lifting and crime along the water front, and in some cases, changing the meaning of joining the merchant marine and see the world! Of course, we know that technological changes can have positive and negative impact when applied. Remember what happened when railroads no longer required the services of fire-men (who shoveled coal into the engines.

Containerization is a fundamental component in today s global economy. Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Target and other big box stores import goods produced overseas. But even with this improvement in shipping, global trade is at risk from the unexpected: violence and terrorism; piracy can interrupt trade, just as raids and attacks by roving bands of Vikings and Germanic tribes did to the Roman Empire in olden days. In order to safeguard the country s trade and commerce the United States Homeland Security department is spending large amount of its budget to minimize the economic and financial vulnerability, and protect the successful generation of wealth that comes from the growth of trade. (Winston p. 57)

Case studies have shown that innovation, especially in containerization can bring surprising financial results. One company considered hauling sand in multi-hulled cargo freighters to beaches in areas badly eroded by storms from Saudi Arabia, in return for transporting ice or water in containers to the Arab state. Some of the more recent entrepreneurs are helping establish a new middle class (burgeoning bourgeoisie is the term used) in newly emerging nations that benefit from globalization

Case Study #2: From EEO and Affirmative Action to Diversity Management

You are a big-city HR director. For years, you and other city administrators have emphasized Affirmative Action compliance by (1) making it a key organizational objective; (2) taking steps to reduce underutilization of protected classes by targeted programs for recruitment, testing, selection, training, and career development; and (3) establishing separate grievance systems to protect against sexual harassment, racial and ethnic discrimination, and other violations of employee rights.

Now, you hear increasing complaints about the adequacy of these Affirmative Acton compliance policies and programs from managers and employees. Managers ask, “Isn’t there a way that we can create a climate of ethnic harmony without resorting to slow and costly administrative proceedings?” Employees in protected categories are unhappy: “Why don’t you treat us as employees and human beings, rather than focusing only on gender, race, disability, or ethnicity? Aren’t our skills and performance more important than these?” Other employees also dislike Affirmative Action: “I can’t get ahead in this organization because I’m a white male. We’re discriminated against all the time, but we don’t have any legal protection because we’re not members of a protected class.”

You decide that the best way to deal with these unsatisfactory conditions is by developing diversity management policies and programs. You prepare a formal presentation to the city manager and other department directors explaining how these policies and programs will help the city run better. They listen to your presentation, and then ask questions. How do you answer them?

Questions

1. How does diversity management differ from EEO or Affirmative Action? Isn’t this just “old wine in new bottles”?

2. Why does diversity management require changes in our mission, culture, or values? It’s just a personnel issue, right? Can’t we just say we value diversity, and let it go at that?

3. How will diversity management programs affect these specific areas of human resource management policy and practice: recruitment and retention, job design, education and training, benefits and rewards, and performance measurement and improvement?

4. Won’t this put the Affirmative Action office out of business? How will you ever sell it to them?

5. If we’re going to do it right, what are the characteristics of a successful diversity management? Of an unsuccessful one?

 

Case Study #3: Workplace Violence— “In Hindsight, We Could See It Coming”

The Event

In the predawn hours on February 9, 1996, a disgruntled former park and recreation department employee, Clifton McCree, burst into the maintenance trailer where six of his former coworkers were starting their day’s work. In five minutes, six people were dead of gunshot wounds: Clifton McCree had killed five of the six coworkers, and then had turned the gun upon himself; one coworker escaped to tell the story of horror and death.

The Background

After eighteen years of employment, Clifton McCree had been discharged from the City of Ft. Lauderdale in October of 1994 after failing a drug test. After this, he had been unable to find steady work, and he had grown increasingly depressed and angry over what he saw as racial discrimination and retaliation by white employees and supervisors.

Mr. McCree had a history of workplace confrontations with coworkers. In the past, other employees had complained about his occasional threats to kill them. His supervisors had counseled him informally about the need to control his temper. Although he frequently went into rages, and coworkers were afraid of him, his supervisors and other employees had avoided formal complaints and tried to handle the problem internally because they did not want him to 4

 

lose his job. Despite his temper, he continued to receive satisfactory performance evaluations for nine years, and there was no formal record of his problems. Finally, in 1993, after a screaming match with a white coworker, McCree’s supervisor counseled him formally.

Personnel Policies and Procedures

Ironically, the problem came to a head just days after the City issued a new policy on workplace violence in 1994. This policy grew out of another tragedy—the murder of two lawyers in a downtown office building earlier that year. The City’s policy was designed to raise awareness of what a potentially violent worker might do, and it set up a procedure for handling such incidents.

Immediately after the policy was issued, the supervisor came to the parks and recreation department director, who had just come on the job a few weeks before, and told her about Clifton McCree. Within days, she had interviewed other workers and prepared a chilling memo detailing McCree’s threats and racial slurs against his coworkers. The memo indicated that McCree exhibited at least five of the warning signs of potential trouble, including threats, paranoid behavior, and a fascination with workplace violence.

City officials acted quickly, ordering a psychiatric evaluation and a drug test within days. By the end of the month, McCree had been suspended without pay; he flunked the drug test and his firing was in the works. Until the day of the murders, eighteen months to the day after his discharge, he never returned to his workplace.

The Postmortem: Should the City Have Done Anything Differently?

In hindsight, it is difficult to find fault with anyone’s actions. Most coworkers and supervisors would initially attempt to counsel a troubled employee informally because they were his friends and they knew he needed the job. With no formal counseling taking place, there would be no written record of previous performance incidents upon which to base a negative performance evaluation. When formal counseling finally occurred in 1993, it was only because coworkers had exerted pressure on management to do something. The City developed a clear and responsible policy on workplace violence in 1994. This policy led to a strong and immediate response by the park and recreation department, and it was the department director’s memo that led the City to take action. Appropriately, Clifton McCree was removed from work pending psychiatric evaluation and drug testing. He tested positive and was discharged.

Yet six people died. In addition to the human tragedy, the City will undoubtedly face civil charges from the victims’ families, alleging that the City knew that Clifton McCree was violent but did not take adequate precautions to protect coworkers against violence.

Questions

1. In hindsight, what do you think the City could have done differently (if anything)?

2. Under the standard of “foreseeability,” do you think the City can be held liable for failure to take more timely action against Clifton McCree?

3. Did the City’s prompt and responsible action (to discharge Clifton McCree under its new workplace violence policy) in fact increase the chance of workplace violence?

4. Human Resource Management usually takes place in communities affected by racial or ethnic unrest, alcohol or drug abuse, and disgruntled employees with easy access to weapons. What can HR managers do to lessen the chances of these factors resulting in workplace tragedies such as this one?
