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.

Project Management Discussion

Question: Read the case “Post-Graduation Adventure” on page 154 in the course book. Answer the following questions applying the concepts you have learned thus far in the course: •Assume you are either Mike or Josh, how would you go about making a decision using project management methodology? •Looking first at only cost, what decision would you make? •After cost, what other factors should be considered before making a decision? Keep in mind this is an estimate request. •Use search engines such as Expedia, Kayak, etc. to come up with cost ($$) and figures accordingly in an effort to make an informed decision on which location to visit. Present your cost for each trip, WBS, and how you reached your decision (break down each item with estimated cost).

Operations Management – Breakfast at the Paramount Case Analysis

Provide answers to the following questions via a typed analysis. Your paper should be typed, in paragraph form, 12 point font, double-spaced. You should provide a thorough analysis that includes answers to the questions below. Your paper should be a minimum of 3-5 typed pages. The case focuses on the restaurant’s interesting seating policy and a recent increase in the popularity of carryout orders, which poses a threat to the service experiences of customers and the sustainability of the operation. Please read, watch the videos, and engage with the interactive exhibits in the multimedia case, and use the following questions to guide your analysis. 1) Based on your reading of the case and your observations through interaction with the videos and multimedia exhibits, what factors contribute to and detract from dine-in customers’ service experiences waiting in line at the Paramount? How might Michael Conlon redesign the process to improve the experience? 2) Analyze the Paramount’s seating policy. How does the seating policy contribute to the restaurant’s capacity to serve customers? Why does it work? 3) Experiment with the queuing calculator and calculate the length of the Paramount’s line. What happens when the arrival rate (the number of customers arriving per hour) rises in relation to the service rate (the number of customers served per hour)? 4) What advice do you have for Michael Conlon about how to respond to the increase in carryout orders at the Paramount? Your analysis of this case can be broken down into seven parts: 1) an analysis of the Paramount’s operating process; 2) an exploration of how its seating policy stacks up against traditional table service; 3) consideration of how the Paramount’s operational design influences customer experiences and behaviors; 4) the effect of increasing carryout orders on queuing dynamics; 5) a re-examination of customer experiences and behaviors under carryout orders; 6) a re-examination of the Paramount’s value proposition under carryout orders; and 7) a discussion of customer compatibility and the centralized selection strategy used by the Paramount to manage it. Develop a process flow diagram, and by using information in the case, calculate the processing time for each stage of the process. The case describes how the Paramount’s cafeteria-style seating policy is uncomfortable for guests. Why is Paramount choosing to inflict this experience on customers? Based on your process analysis, calculate the number of customers the Paramount can serve per hour with its existing seating policy, and compare that to an estimate of how many customers it could serve per hour with a traditional table service model.
