Students are responsible for submitting an Applied Research Project based on an organizational issue or problem relevant to their current or former workplace and/or profession and integrating research conducted as well as learning from courses in the Master of Arts in Administration (MAA) degree program.

MY KEY ISSUES OR PROBLEMS IS WITH THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY’S DIVERSITY, RECRUITING SELECTING-HIRING PROCESS/ AND RETAINING EMPLOYEES. ALSO THE COMPANY’S STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESS BY USING A SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY. The paper should be prepared as if you had been asked by your organization’s top decision makers to conduct a study of a particular key issue or problem and to prepare an external consulting report to be presented to them, including with your recommendation(s) on how to address the issue or problem. It should be an examination of an issue or problem that is relevant and not only has an impact on operational practice and performance, but also has a potential solution which can be implemented. The problem must be immediate, relevant, important and actionable. In developing your paper, you should follow these nine basic steps: 1) Identify and clarify the issue or problem; 2) Discuss its importance and potential or real impact on the organization, including elements you have learned from course work in the MAA degree program; 3) Review of the literature related to the issue or problem; 4) Conduct appropriate research using qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods; collect and analyze data. Students must conduct field research. Use of previous studies by the student or other researchers is not sufficient to meet this required element. 5) Using the research data develop alternative solutions or ways to address the issue or problem. 6) Evaluate the pros and cons of each solution, using knowledge and skills that you have gained in your MAA coursework. (Note: this is a consultant report so you will not make statements attributing knowledge to school work, but you will use sources developed during school work.) 7) Recommend one of the alternative solutions and state your rationale, using, again, knowledge and skills which you have gained in your MAA coursework, grounded in your research study. (See Note above). 8) Recommend a plan and timeline for implementation. 9) Develop and discuss a process for follow-up and the evaluation of results.

waiting lines to manage customer service

Many businesses utilize waiting lines to manage customer service. For example, banks, amusement parks, supermarket checkouts, fast food restaurants, call centers, check-in counters at airports, emergency departments of hospitals, and so many more. In the course of your week, consider an experience you had that led to a temporary demand for service that exceeded capacity, for example, variation in service duration or arrival rates, which led to a waiting line. Explain common measures of system performance and which of the common measures may be useful for the business where you experienced a waiting line. Detail why that measure would be useful, and develop a strategy to minimize the waiting line while minimizing cost. Develop a calculation to aid the business in making their operational choices. Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories, which require supporting citations along with at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed reference in supporting your answer.

Components of a viable business plan-Communicate your

Create components of a viable business plan. Communicate your management, leadership, and communication skills for running and growing a business. Demonstrate techniques for analysing costs, preparing financial documents, and reporting requirements.

Components of a viable business plan-Communicate your

Firstly, create components of a viable business plan.

Secondly, communicate your management, leadership, and communication skills for running and growing a business.

Thirdly, demonstrate techniques for analysing costs, preparing financial documents, and reporting requirements.

Fourthly, design an effective strategy for marketing, customer service, selling, and relationship building.

Within the plan, indicate how you will be researching, securing, and managing financial aspects of the enterprise.

Lastly, include a plan for business operations that will ensure the business delivers on its promises to customers.

More details;

A viable business plan is based on a viable business model. Your business plan should outline ways that your company will produce and market its products and services to keep its customers satisfied and earn a sustainable profit. To determine whether a business idea can actually be viable, your business plan should present a value proposition. Then explore the details of potential market size along with product and distribution channels and cost structure.

Why Write a Viable Business Plan?

Your business plan is the road map to starting and running your business. The process of writing its text and generating its financials is an opportunity for you to think through details and hash out scenarios. You’ll never be able to accurately predict how things will actually unfold once you start your business, but if you take the time and make the effort to envision how your company could succeed and cope with adversity, you will be well positioned to set your ideas in motion.

In addition to being a vital thought exercise for your own planning, a viable business plan is a necessary tool for approaching lenders and investors. The individuals and institutions who will be able to provide access to the capital you’ll need will understandably want to make sure that your endeavor will be a worthwhile investment and that you’ll be able to repay any sums you borrow.
