Overview
Company leaders need to keep a watchful eye on the economy and how micro- and macro-environments affect their business. Successful leaders are always a step ahead. They stay there by leading with data-driven decisions that allow their companies to anticipate and respond to challenges. In this module, you’ve learned how information is key in making decisions and solving problems; however, research and analytical skills are also needed to extract value from data. Information-gathering should align with research objectives. Qualitative and quantitative data alongside relevant and credible primary and secondary sources are fundamental ingredients for informing good judgement.

Each section needs to be atleast 1000 words each and use 3 references that are 2020 or newer.
A)
Chapter 4: How do you think planning in today’s
organizations compares to planning in an organization 25 years ago? Do you
think planning becomes more important or less important in a world where
everything quickly changes and crises are a regular part of organizational
life? Why?
Chapter 4: Is changing the organization’s domain a
feasible strategy for coping with a threatening environment? Can you think of
an organization in the recent news that has changed its domain? Explain.
Chapter 6: Compare the descriptions of the
transnational model described in Chapter 6 to the elements of the learning
organization described in Chapter 1. Do you think the transnational model would
work in a huge global firm?
How can/should a biblical worldview be applied?
B)
Chapter 7: Mass customization of products has become a
common approach in manufacturing organizations. Explain the ways in which mass
customization can be applied to service firms as well.
Chapter 7: A top executive claimed that superior
management is a craft technology because the work contains intangibles (such as
handling personnel, interpreting the environment, and coping with unusual
situations that have to be learned through experience). If this is true, is it
appropriate to teach management in a business school? Does teaching management
from a textbook assume that the manager’s job is analyzable and, therefore,
that formal training rather than experience is most important?
Chapter 8: Do you believe that technology will
eventually enable high-level managers to do their job with little face-to-face
communication?
Chapter 9: Look through several recent issues of a
business magazine (Fortune, BusinessWeek, Fast Company, etc.) and find examples
of 2 companies that are using approaches to busting bureaucracy. Explain the
techniques that these companies are applying.
Chapter 9: Do you believe that a no growth philosophy
of management should be taught in business schools?
How can/should a biblical worldview be applied?
C)
Chapter 10: Do you think it is possible for an
outsider to accurately discern about the underlying cultural values of an
organization by analyzing symbols, ceremonies, dress, or other observable
aspects of culture in comparison to an insider with several years of work
experience? Select a percentage (e.g., 10%, 70%, etc.) and explain your
reasoning.
Chapter 11: A noted organization theorist once said,
“Pressure for change originates in the environment. Pressure for stability
originates within the organization.” Do you agree?
Chapter 12: If managers frequently use experience and
intuition to make complex, non-programmed decisions, how do they apply
evidence-based management (which seems to suggest that managers should rely on
facts and data)?
Chapter 13: In a rapidly changing organization, are
decisions more likely to be made using the rational or political model of
organization?
What biblical implications should be
included/addressed?
How can/should a biblical worldview be applied?

You are required to write concisely to transmit your analysis based on the power point presentation attached. (check the notes for each slides for more details)
Initially, you should provide a brief introduction to set the context of the presentation
You are advised to keep the ‘brief’ Introduction section for Part A to
within 120 words.
Note: do not just describe what the presentation is saying (we already know that from the presentation). 
For example, you could consider such issues as: 
• Critically evaluate the appropriateness of the theories mentioned
• Could the chosen theories have been better utilised?
• Could other theories have been drawn on to help you to better address the task? 
Therefore, do not just describe the theory or theories applied – think
about what you have learned and what you would do differently next time (and
why!) – you need to be able to justify your decisions. As part of a critical reflection,
you need to also consider the limitations of your work (not just the positives) – you
need to think about what improvements could have been made.  

Overview
Using the Communications Template, identify two overall issues that are present in the final project case study that can be addressed using internal and external communications. For each issue, note the red flags that contribute to the issue and list those factors in the first column in the template. For each factor, identify potential communications that would need to be developed to address that component of the issue, the audience that would need to be reached with the communication, and the objective for the communication.
Prompt
From this template, select one of the two issues to focus on for the purpose of your final project, and develop the ideas you have noted for Milestone One.
Use the communications planning resources in this module to assist you in completing the template.
For each overall issue you identified in the final project case study, complete the following fields:
Contributing factors to issue
Communication messages and channels required to address issue
Audience for communication (internal, external, or both)
Communication objectives
Note: You will select one of the two issues from this template for the final project but will focus on both issues for this assignment.
