14 principles of management on Bureaucratic Management

14 Principles of Management
Bureaucratic Management
should be ones that are going to support your analysis of the case in the following sections. This section provides background to your discussion.

2. Secondly, what are the main facts of the case? Include an organisational structure chart to illustrate. Include the salient points that will provide evidence for your argument. Do not merely rewrite paragraphs from the case, i.e. one fact may be support by a few pieces of evidence.

3. What are the main management or leadership problems that you have identified within this case? HINT: Think about the topics you have covered so far in this subject. Make sure you explain the context of the difficulties. You do not need to cover every issue. Pick a few main ones that you can critically analyse well within the required word limit.  I am looking for a cohesive report where all the sections flow together to make a logical argument.

4. Reflect on the relevant theories that you could use to explain the management and/or leadership problems. Show how they could be applied to your critical analysis of the case.

5. Is there a possibility to resolve these management and/or leadership problems? If so, what recommendations can you make (based on theories above) to ensure your solution is achievable and/or sustainable?
Provide your critical analysis in report format. Use appropriate subheadings, number the pages, line spacing 1.5 or double (preferred), font Times New Roman – size 12, and include a reference list (alphabetic order by author surname) with appropriate in-text citations. You should use at least five (5) quality sources of information to support your ideas e.g. journal articles. The Business School at COLAB requires you to use Harvard style format. A sample report format is included in the Assessment folder on the HELP site including a sample reference in Harvard. A report is usually accompanied by a letter of transmittal – you do not need to include one here.

Typically, department managers have control over spending within the limits of their departmental budgets.  There are signing limits set however, as to expense amounts a manager can approve; expenses over that approval limit have to be authorized by a more senior manager in the reporting line (i.e., “up the food chain”).

Department managers have control over spending within the limits

Typically, department managers have control over spending within the limits of their departmental budgets.  There are signing limits set however, as to expense amounts a manager can approve. Expenses over that approval limit have to be authorized by a more senior manager in the reporting line (i.e., “up the food chain”).  Suppose for instance, a department manager has a budget limit for total supplies expense set at $20,000 for the year, and a signing limit of $1,000 on any given purchase.

That manager will therefore be able to approve an individual requisition for $300 (since it is less than $1,000). As long as the total spending is within the overall budget limit of $20,000.  If a requisition is worth $1,500 however, then the managers boss, or someone more senior up the reporting line would have to approve the requisition before the requisition could be passed on to the Purchasing department for further processing.

Some have suggested that the Purchasing department should be involved in the approval process. Such that if a department is over-spending, the Purchasing department should be able to refuse to act on the requisition.  Explain why this approach is not a good idea.  Note that the answer is not in the textbook — you’ll have to think your way through this one.

To receive credit, your posting must be at least 75 words, in clear, well-written English, and must effectively address the question asked.

In the procure to pay process, the responsibility for creating a requisition and the responsibility for creating a purchase orders are separate d so that typically, one person is not permit ed to do both. Why is this separation a good business practice?

To receive credit, your posting must be at least 75 words. Clear in , well-written English. Must effectively address the question asked.

Please make sure to answer both questions separately.

This is a paper that is a focusing on how to measure management risk and strategy analysis. The paper also provides the guidelines to follow in writing the assignment paper in detail.

How to measure management risk and strategy analysis

Assessment task details and instructions
The “management of risk” is perhaps easier to understand in theory rather than manage in practice. It is a complex and complicated idea, especially in terms of how we are to manage it. How can we define what we mean by ‘risk’ and how can it be managed successfully in large and small projects?

You are to critically analyse the concept of risk; discuss how it can be measured and ranked and outline how a project risk management strategy may be constructed for an international telecommunications project involving stakeholders in Europe, Saudi Arabia, and the United States. In completing this assignment, you should discuss both theoretical and practical risk management strategies and how these can assist in minimising risk for your project.

You will need to take the following into account when completing your assignment.

•          Establishment of relevant theory (e.g. what do we mean by risk in a project management context and what is the relationship between risk and risk management in theoretical terms; and how do individual attitudes to risk interact with organisational risk appetite?).
Allocation of credit and sources used; (have I included references and citations to the material I have used?).
Clarity of argument and relevance to the project management context.
Overall report presentation including spelling and grammar.
Adherence to nominated word limit (+/- 10%).

Lastly, ensure  that the paper is at least three pages exclusive of the cover and the reference pages. Also, ensure that you include all the references you use in finding research for this assignment paper. References should be at least three for the paper. All references, citation, and writing should follow the Harvard formatting and styling guidelines. Finally, ensure you focus on the assignment topic in detail.

Football Equipment Tampering May Lead to Criminal Charges
Years from now, they’ll still be talking about the bizarre saga of the razor-sharp buckle on the helmet of a player in a November 6 football game between Linsly Academy and St. Benedict
XVI. Right now, though, they’re talking criminal behavior. As of Monday, no charges had been filed against either the player or his father, who claimed responsibility for sharpening the buckle.

But the district attorney of Alamo County is on the case and said charges may be coming.
The episode started to unfold during the first quarter of the Academy’s 16-14 double-overtime win. Two Academy players found that they were bleeding from wounds to their hands and arms; one had sustained three cuts that would require 10 stitches. A third teammate, whose arm was covered with scratches, told his coaches, “It feels like they’ve got razor blades out there.”
Referee Bob Renner ran a quick check of the St. Benedict players’ equipment and found what he thought were two defective chin-strap buckles on the helmet worn by junior center Mike Miller. After removing them, he gave the first to a St. Benedict assistant and pocketed the other.

After the game, officials found that the buckle in Renner’s possession had been milled to razor sharpness.

(The St. Benedict assistant coach said he had thrown away the first buckle, and a search of the field failed to turn it up.) On November 8, the Ohio High School Activities Association began an investigation, which resulted in Miller’s being discharged from the team and then expelled from school. After the expulsion, Miller’s father, Homer, a pediatric dentist, told St. Benedict XVI principal Rev. Benjamin Schmidt that he had done the milling.

Homer was upset that in the previous week’s game against St. John’s High, Mike had been a 2 victim of what the father considered excessive head-slapping. According to Schmidt, this was the elder Miller’s solution to that. Several observers describe Homer, who was working on the side-line chain gang during the Linsly Academy-St. Benedict game, as a hothead. He was so vocal in his criticism of the officiating during St. Benedict’s game against Carlow High on Sept.21 that he was ask ed to leave the sideline crew. Apparently, the elder Miller is not always so bellicose; people close to Mike’s sporting events describe Homer as “mouthy” and “macho” but also say that he “loves children” and frequently performs charitable dental work on youngsters from low-income families. More than one source describes Mike as a nice, levelheaded kid.

Neither father nor son has talked to the press.

Investigators have not ruled out the possibility that the buckle sharpening was team wide, but the hope remains that this was an isolated incident. Or, as D.A. Dan Marino puts it, “a really dumb idea confined to some really dumb people.”
