Purpose

In this assignment, you get to step into the shoes of mid-level management and the challenge of framing and articulating a new corporate-level policy. The ability to perform such a task clearly, completely, and concisely is a skill that is valuable at any level but essential in organizational communications. And, true to the nature of communications in technical organizations, audience assessment is a key part of this memo.

Role and Audience

You are: Gerald Garcia, in your capacity as Director, Administrative Operations
Your audience is: all AVI employees
Assignment

As Gerald Garcia, Director of Administrative Operations, Charles Carey has given you a very visible assignment to write a 400-1000-word email/memo to all employees describing a new AVI archiving policy and any changes that go with the new policy. This is based on a three-month study commissioned by the Management Committee.

Please find an email/memo format you like and use it, along with your AVI letterhead.
Include at least one class, text, and outside reference.
Refer to the References and Assignment formatting document in Module 2 if you have any questions about references.
Things you might want to think about as you frame this memo: in addition to the technical and programmatic data that are probably foremost in your awareness, how about the archiving of non-technical data (other major corporate areas to be considered), off-site storage of critical data, and how long to hold onto data before destruction.
Regarding off-site storage: if there is a disaster or corporate data compromise with the physical files and/or electronic files at the company’s place of business, there is a backup for truly essential data. And that backup isn’t on the premises. It could be physical storage elsewhere or it could be a cloud. It just shouldn’t be where it can be compromised by the same problems that could occur at the company’s main place of business and shouldn’t be on the same network.

For this week, we will “attend” our first virtual concert! The piece we will experience is Bach’s Goldberg Variations. Our performance is archived on YouTube, and you will use the following link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGPJDgp2-9A

In order to prove that you ‘attended’ this virtual concert, you will write a short essay, almost identical in nature to your responses, excepting the length requirement which is 2-3 pages For this essay, you are going to identify the four variations that you find to be the most compelling musically, and you will explain why you made your choices. Be sure to discuss specific musical components in your explanations. (In other words, you are to avoid an excessively poetic language, such as “The 3rd variation makes me feel like I’m flying through a cloud, with angels and God moving through shadows of…”) Although not a variation, I will allow you to pick the opening aria as one of your favs.
Make sure that you include specific timings from the video to corroborate your thoughts about what contributed to making your four favorite variations the most likeable.

Will the increasing availability of electronic methods of information search result in an overall increase or decrease in consumers’ confidence in their information search abilities? Justify your answer.
Annotated Bibliography
Please follow the guide below when doing this work
Annotated Bibliography Guide
What is an annotated bibliography?
• An organised list of resources cited in the correct referencing style (UOW author/date Harvard)
• Followed by a brief descriptive and evaluative paragraph – the annotation.
What does an annotated bibliography include?
Annotated bibliographies normally consist of an evaluation of the resource, considering the following aspects:
• AUTHORITY- who wrote it? What are their credentials? (i.e. PhD, Professor, unqualified writer)
• AUDIENCE – Who are the intended audience – eg. Researchers? Students? Consumers?
• USEFULNESS – How useful is it to your paper? eg. Is it a research article? Is it too scientific for your needs? Is it too general?
• COMPARISON – Is it similar to another work or in contrast to another work/author?
• CONCLUSIONS – Have the author(s) made any conclusions? What methods were used for evaluation?
• LIMITATIONS – Are there any limitations in the work/methods/conclusions?

• Example Annotated Bibliography (if needed)
Trevor, CO, Lansford, B & Black, JW 2004, ‘Employee turnover and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion’, Journal of Armchair Psychology, vol.113, no.1, pp56-64.
In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect to job performance, turnover rates and employee motivation. The authors use data gained through organisational surveys of blue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main causes of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organisational reward schemes. The article is useful to my research topic, as Trevor et al. suggest that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and variances in employee motivation and performance. The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted to mid-level management, thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive, research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. This article will not form the basis of my research; however it will be useful supplementary information for my research on pay structures.
Will the increasing availability of electronic methods of information search result in an overall increase or decrease in consumers’ confidence in their information search abilities? Justify your answer.

The video cases are real recordings of real leaders from real companies. Many of the leaders are middle managers who have faced a significant leadership challenge. Some leaders have been successful while others have been less successful. These cases are assigned to you so that you may learn from their leadership experiences and where possible, emulate their positive, effective actions and avoid the mistakes that these
leaders may have made.
The Video Case assignment requires you to connect the reading material (text and assigned readings) to the case, analyze and evaluate the various components of the case, and apply the course material directly to the case. Your analysis should focus on understanding the overall situation, the challenge(s) presented, the leader’s decision, and YOUR analysis of the effectiveness of the leader’s decision. You should also comment on whether you believe that the leader was changed as a result of the challenge faced.
Your case analysis should be presented as a business report with a table of contents, headings, subheadings etc.It should be checked for grammar, spelling, flow, and consistency. It should be constructed as one report and not as many components of different reports pasted together.
The following should be the key sections of the report:
1. Situation Analysis – what is the situation that the leader is facing – try to frame the situation within the reading material for the week, using the relevant terms where possible.
2. Core challenge – what is the core challenge or the decision at hand?
3. Leader’s Options – what options does the leader have – which of these options are recognized by the leader which are not? Be sure to consider all options – and use the course material to derive some of these options.
4. What was the leader’s decision? Do you agree with this decision? If yes, why do you agree? If not, what do
you believe that the leader should have done? Frame your answer within the course material.
5. The outcome – Is the leader surprised by the outcome? Are you surprised? Why or why not?
6. Conclusion – Material Integration – What is your overall conclusion about this case? Do you believe that the leader would have acted differently if he / she had read the material? What other insights can you gain from the material as it relates to the case?
7. Learning – What was the key learning for you from this case?
You can submit your analysis as a word document or as a power point presentation.

The organisation is Otto Marine – they operate three different Strategic Business Units (SBUs).

I only have to concentrate on the shipbuilding SBU for this assignment.

Overview
Main report: Maximum of 6,000 words + One page ‘map’

You are required to conduct a strategic analysis and context evaluation for a real-life organisation – Otto

Marine (http://www.ottomarine.com).

The purpose of this assignment is to apply the theoretical framework, concepts, and analytical tools covered in this course to analyse the organisation’s strategic position.

As part of your report you will provide a reasoned conclusion based on rigorous analysis detailing what you believe Otto Marine’s current strategy is and whether it is appropriate.

You will also produce a one page (A3 size) ‘map’ that captures and summarises your findings.

What a typical report includes (this is a guide only):
1. A description of the relevant background and history of Otto Marine.

This information should be accurate and relevant to the analysis of Otto Marine. You need to decide what should be included; it may include ownership, history, size, business scope, major products/services, and major ‘markets’ and spheres of influence of the organisation.
Only include the relevant material that will have a material affect on your analysis. This provides the background against which you undertake subsequent analysis.

It may also include an outline of the significant moments in the history of Otto Marine and why you believe these moments were/are consequential to the way Otto Marine undertakes its activities today. Your choices here about which information to include or exclude are important and will require you to use your critical and analytical skills.

2. Conduct a macro-environment analysis for the operating environment within which Otto Marine operates.

(Insert 2 sources/references in the analysis)

– an understanding of how this analysis is connected to the macro environmental analysis previously

undertaken.
– You must make reasoned, argued conclusion(s) on the structure of the sector(s) and any

competitive/cooperative forces that are operating on and within it. Use this analysis to inform later

aspects of your assignment.

4. Identify any resources and competences that are likely to provide sustainable competitive advantage for

Otto Marine (and whether or not Otto Marine possess these)
(Insert 2 sources/references in this analysis)

– Justify why these resources and competences can be regarded as strategic capabilities and discuss how

useful they are in relation to the macro-environmental and sector/competitive analysis that you have

conducted earlier.

You must use analytical tools/frameworks that have been published in recognised scholarly publications.
Focus on developing and demonstrating:
– an understanding of the purpose of this analysis

– a critical understanding of any tools/frameworks you select for the analysis
– drawing conclusions as to how and why each of these stakeholders are important to Otto Marine and how this

knowledge can help you to shape strategic recommendations for Otto Marine.

6. Identify and discuss the current strategy of Otto Marine and assess if it is suitable given the strategic

context. (Insert 2 sources/references here in this analysis)

Use a well-established strategic framework (e.g. Porter’s generic strategies or Mile and Snow’s strategic

typology, or similar) to classify the strategy of Otto Marine.

Clearly justify your choice with a well-developed and logical argument.

Justify whether you believe the current strategy is appropriate for the organisation or whether it needs to change. Explain why.

Focus on integrating the conclusions from the analysis that you have undertaken in previous aspects of your assignment to make a coherent, logical argument supporting your position.
