Assignment title: Information
Your task
Identify and describe your management style in an interpretative report, using the CVF
conceptual framework (Quinn et al. 2015). The steps involved let you situate yourself withinthe parameters of management mastery and draw out aspects of your style which are evidentfrom the following exercise.
Instructions
1. Read the Introdution and Conclusion sections of the text (Quinn et al. 2015)
2. Complete the Competing Values Framework (Quinn et al. 2011) survey. To complete the
CVF access the following URL: http://www.wiley.com/college/quinn/*********X/survey/
mgmt_prc.htm and work through the instructions below
a. complete the 36-statement Competing Values Management Practices Survey
b. then press ‘show result’ – where your scores are plotted on the CVF wheel
c. reflection: Look at the shape of your ‘spiderweb’ - focusing on the Quadrants, rather
than each specific 'role'
d. save a copy for review, discussion and presentation with your interpretative report.
3. Interpret your findings, identifying strengths and weaknesses as a tourism and hospitality
manager. Look for areas of prominence. Make reference to the wider literature and to the
Introduction and Conclusion sections from the Quinn et al. (2015) text. For example, are
the four quadrants equal in your spiderweb? Are you already in balance? What does this
mean for management mastery according to Quinn et al. (2015)? Are there obvious areas
of strength and opposing weakness? What are these areas? Why might this be so?
4. Compile these findings into an interpretative report on your management style, explaining
elements you see in your CVF ‘spiderweb’. Be sure to include context in this interpretation.
That means you should anchor the interpretation in discussions of your actual work and
potential role as a 'manager' or reference to other managers you might know. This will help
explain ‘what’ and ‘why’ the spiderweb reflects what it does about you as a manager.
