Management -Telecommuting

For this Module 2 Case Assignment, you will prepare a blog entry with the title: “My company has offered me a chance to work remotely. Should I telecommute? How can I stay motivated working from home? If I decide to work from home, what can my company do to help me stay highly motivated?” What is a blog assignment? A blog is like a conversation between you and the world. It is like having a conversation just with yourself, too. In this particular blog, you are given questions that you are to respond to in your blog (conversation). Like a regular essay assignment, your blog entry will have cover and reference pages. Your blog entry should be the equivalent of a 3-page paper. Also, be sure to use in-text citations and a reference list, with at least 2 scholarly references for support. You can write the blogs in first person since the assignment is not an essay paper. For administrative purposes, please add a title page so that your assignment can be readily identified. Each entry should have a heading to separate it from the next entry. Your blog entry should discuss the following: • What motivates you? Seeing progress in a task that needs to be completed. Making a difference whether it ensuring the company’s mission is met or assisting customers • How do Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Herzberg’s Two-Factor • Theory explain your own and other employees’ motivation? • How can employees remain highly motivated when telecommuting? • What can they do to motivate themselves? What can the company do to motivate telecommuting employees? • Will you become a telecommuter? Why or why not? Yes, telecommuting is beneficiary to employees who live long distance, safer for the environment or have outside responsibilities that may interfere with being in the office daily.

Budgeting time is an exciting time in every organization.

Managers meet to come up with an estimate of needs for the areas and functions they supervise, and on the basis of the means available, new initiatives and projects are prioritized as to their perceived promise in adding to the growth of the organization.

What are the principal drivers and risks associated with implementing a new IS project? What are the principal drivers and risks associated with IS outsourcing? Why should an organization evaluate the aggregate risk of its portfolio of projects?

Assignment Details

You have just been promoted from front-line supervisor to be one of the firm’s senior managers. During your business education, you learned that the primary role of a manager is to make good decisions. As a supervisor, you had frequently been making routine decisions, but you realize that decision making for the overall company can and will have far greater impact on the company and its employees. Your boss, the chief executive officer (CEO), realizes that you do not have much practice in this higher level, decision-making process and has asked you to write a memo describing your understanding of how to make important decisions. Your memo should address the following questions:

Describe at least 3 criteria that would determine whether the manager is making good decisions. What should be done to better assure that you are making a good decision? In the realm of decision making, what are assumptions? Rather than use a dictionary definition, cite several specific assumptions that would go with any real-life decision you have made or have seen made at a company at which you have worked. Given the importance of proper assumptions, your boss asked you to assess the accuracy of certain business assumptions and what could you do to test or confirm the credibility of them. The following were major assumptions for each firm: An automobile manufacturer’s assumption that the demand for SUVs would continue because gas prices would continue to rise An airline’s assumption that there was a need for an airline that provided no added amenities
