Assignment title: Information
Recently an organisational problem has emerged in one of your virtual business and you, as a manager, need to solve it before it gets out of control and causes significant damage to the company's performance. In this final report, you need to: 1. Generate as many underlying causes to the organisational problem as possible by working and using NGT (nominal group technique) with your management team of 4-6 members. You are also required to explain the function(s) of management to which the underlying causes relates. 2. Analyse and identify the most critical underlying cause to the given organisational problem. Each member is to choose and solve one of the underlying cause identified during NGT session among the team members. Bear in mind that this is a 1500 words report and you will be constrained by words if you choose to solve more than one underlying causes. 3. Analyse by discussing what should have been done to avoid the chosen underlying cause of the given organisational problem (within the theories learnt in this unit). Then use the functions of management which are planning, organising, leading and controlling and generate as many suitable approaches (that are like proposed solutions) as possible but do not choose more than two approaches (justify it by weighing the costs, quality, feasibility, acceptability, reversibility, ethics, for instance) to eliminate the chosen critical underlying cause to the organisational problem. 4. Make TWO concise recommendations which would solve the chosen critical underlying cause(s) to the organisational problem. • This requires you, as a manager, to translate the proposed approach(es) into action plans that are justified by the functions of management used earlier and if possible, also to ensure that they are workable in the type of business one has. For instance, what type of leadership skills, control methods, planning process, organisational structure and more, are suitable to be implemented for example, in a service organisation such as a hotel. • One recommendation is to be made for each of the two proposed approaches if there are two different proposed approaches (can be one a primary and the other as a secondary).
