Choose a company to base this paper on. You may use a current or former employer, but do not disclose anything confidential. Or, you can pick another organization if you are familiar with their internal (not customer-facing) information systems. You can disguise the organization and populate it with famous names. Made-up companies are problematic because of the amount of detail and realism they require. You’ve just left an all-hands meeting at this company. The CEO was very upset at the rise of shadow IT projects, a major indicator that the company’s internal information system has failed to meet its needs. Because the current information system is inadequate, inefficient, and outdated, the CEO is inviting everyone in the organization to propose a new operational, decision support, or enterprise information system to replace it. The executives have allocated $5 million to fund the most promising idea. This is your chance to make a difference in the company (not to mention your own career). Write your proposal as a memo that the entire C-suite will review. Include at least these points, in your own words, to be persuasive: Identify the main functions of your proposed information system and why they are important to the business. Describe what types of data your information system will hold and how data quality will be ensured. Explain how the old information system handles the functions you mentioned, the problems that occur, and why your information system will handle things better. Offer evidence of feasibility: Show that similar information systems have been built successfully and that they save more money than they cost.

Mass customization of products Essay Mass customization of products Essay ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERS Chapter 7: Mass customization of products has become a common approach in manufacturing organizations. Explain the ways in which mass customization can be applied to service firms as well. According to Pallent et al. (2020), mass customization is a relatively new way of offering increased value to consumers by ‘individualizing’ products and services via mass customization, allowing companies to maintain their unique competitive advantage. Companies often integrate this capability through collaborative platforms that connect them with their customers. One way for firms to accomplish this connection is to “deconstruct service offerings and allow consumers to co-configure the optimal level of service” (Pallant et al., 2020, p. 508). An example the authors used for explaining this principle was the mass customization services a New Zealand airline provides their customers. For instance, the airline provides “economy-class travelers with air travel options ranging from ‘seat only’ (with no checked-in luggage) to ‘the works deluxe’ which includes a range of entertainment options and other privileges generally reserved for business-class travellers [sic], such as priority boarding and the guarantee of an empty adjacent seat. In line with this and drawing on the concept of service modularity, airlines could possibly offer a range of deconstructed service options including catering, tax-free sales, flight security and entertainment” (Pallant et al., 2020, p. 509). This co-configuration concept allows the airline to provide a mass customization strategy that matches its services to unique consumer preferences. Moreover, it this strategy provides a creative means to generate increased premiums to be charged above the basic services provided by the airlines. Chapter 7: A top executive claimed that superior management is a craft technology because the work contains intangibles (such as handling personnel, interpreting the environment, and coping with unusual situations that have to be learned through experience). If this is true, is it appropriate to teach management in a business school? Does teaching management from a textbook assume that the manager’s job is analyzable and, therefore, that formal training rather than experience is most important? While there is much credence to this top executive’s claim regarding management as a ‘craft technology,’ it is a commonly excepted, peer-reviewed finding that there are multiple ways for humans to learn; the ‘hands on’ approach is but one of many techniques that are valuable in gaining the knowledge and experience needed to be a successful manager. For example, research conducted by Quain et al. (2018) posits that a teacher can actually combine the opinion proffered by this executive within a classroom setting and create a synergy that is dynamic and memorable. They propose scripted TV and movies can be utilized as training tools for incorporating ‘problem-based’ experiential learning for management students. For example, the authors contend that “The Office, a scripted television sitcom, has been shown to effectively teach leadership and work environment skills … The Apprentice depicted communication challenges and mistakes common in the workplace as well as films such as Slumdog Millionaire that emphasized concepts related to business communication in the workplace” (Quain et al., p. 326). While the authors concede that reality TV shows and movies are often over-exaggerations of our reality, the writers and producers of these shows “portray real-life experiences and are likely to manifest in a variety of organizations” (Quain et al., p. 126). When applied to business concepts, the scenes from these shows “can lead to valuable discussions that help students formulate their own strategies for handing each unique situation” (Bloch, 2011, p. 10). According to their research, Quain et al. (2018) found that students will become more equipped to: Recognize and analyze central issues that impact the business’ performanceIdentify managerial behavior and the impact on business successes and failuresEvaluate and apply management strategies and theories in response to business issuesReflect on their personal performance and contribution to the business in current job rolesThe student learning experience becomes enhanced by allowing them to apply theories studied in class and their textbooks and apply them to real-life situations, providing them the opportunity to explore creative solutions to the issues recognized in the reality TV show. While the authors admit that these TV shows are ‘story-rich,’ they contend the students can connect to them because of personalities and people on them are relatable. The authors found that “when viewers perceived reality show characters as more representative of their own lives, they were viewed as more relevant … students can see themselves in the show’s characters, which helps students to self-reflect to improve their own practice in the workplace” (Quain, 2018, p. 127). Chapter 8: Do you believe that technology will eventually enable high-level managers to do their job with little face-to-face communication? COVID-19 has significantly changed the way the world does business. Companies trying to adjust have embraced technology to allow for continued production with ‘at home’ employees. However, this has caused significant transitional problems that is starting to be studied now. Moreover, as lessons are learned for this experience, companies will likely explore best practices identified as a result of this change and incorporate them into their business model. Allen et al. (2021) found that the COVID?19 pandemic created ‘work?nonwork boundary management’ with remote workers who transitioned to working from home, creating a difficult work-nonwork balance. They discovered that employees who had a dedicated office work space within their home and fewer had fewer work?nonwork issues and greater balance. However, they concluded that “these variables did not moderate the relationship between segmentation preferences and work?nonwork balance as expected” Allen et al. 2021, p. 81). Other studies have shown that age has a significant impact on the acceptance or embrace of technology (Rosal et al., 2014). Older individuals typically want to meet face to face as opposed to looking at a screen (video conference), whereas the younger generations are more accepting of technology due to the fact that they were raised with it. Seniors are a bit more accepting technology somewhat, especially when they are seeking benefits the technology can provide (like video chatting with their grandchildren), however, they tend to prefer in-person inactions. I’m reminded of an airline commercial from several years ago, where the manager informs the team that they just lost an important client because they didn’t feel like the company knew them anymore. The manager advises that the company will deemphasize telephone orders/contact and get back to basics; meeting with personal client visits. He then begins passing out airline tickets. However, as mentioned earlier, technology does offer a significant benefit to production, communication, and cost savings; the more the older generation leaves the workforce, the less resistance there will be toward accepting nonface-to-face interaction. However, I wonder if several years from now, business schools will ‘study’ the paradigm shifts and the impact of face-to-face interaction on business dynamics in the future? Chapter 9: Look through several recent issues of a business magazine (Fortune, BusinessWeek, Fast Company, etc.) and find examples of 2 companies that are using approaches to busting bureaucracy. Explain the techniques that these companies are applying. According to Hamel and Zanini, (2017), the best approach to busting bureaucracy is to minimize the number of managers and administrators and increase the ratio of employees to management by a factor of 10 to 1. They used the example of Nucor, who they claim is the most profitable steel company in the United States. “It comprises 90 autonomous manufacturing centres [sic] … individual plants make product and pricing decisions and are responsible for their own product development, [while] self-managing teams within each facility oversee operations and are responsible for innovation and training” (Rimmer, 2020, p. 8). The authors contend that Nucor’s model empowers the employees at a lower level and encourages efficiency over conformity. In Briton, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHS) is busting bureaucracy by requiring shorter appraisals for their medical doctors. In March of 2020, the DHS suspended the requirement for appraisals due to COVID-19; they discovered that “all of a sudden we could do everything we needed to do quickly and efficiently because of covid-19 … we coped fine without endless meetings and forms” (Rimmer, 2020, p. 10). Moreover, the General Medical Council plans to simplify their international registration process to allow doctors from outside of the United Kingdom wanting to practice in the NHS a more streamlined process. Chapter 9: Do you believe that a no growth philosophy of management should be taught in business schools? Personally, I believe the size of the company does not indicate (or should be considered an indicator) of the success or failure potential of any company. Growth is nothing more than a strategy to meet the goals of the organization. Too rapid growth is just as dangerous (or maybe more so) than no growth, especially if the no growth is representative of a failure to thrive. Moreover, understanding one’s strengths and weaknesses are also important when deciding which growth strategy a company wants to pursue. Expanding beyond a company’s capabilities can be like a big fish in a small pond swimming into the ocean to face conditions it had never seen before. I think that business schools should teach both aspects of ‘growth management,’ explaining the pros and cons of each. How can/should a biblical worldview be applied? Bureaucracy is an organizational structure that goes back to biblical times; a set of rules, policies, procedures, and hierarchies that combine to establish the authority of its leaders. The Pharisees established a bureaucratic structure and used their strict interpretation of the Torah as a means to set themselves apart. According to Wilson (2011), “the Pharisees’ intention was to safeguard God’s blessing through the strict observance of their interpretation of the Torah; the end result, however, was that people were restricted from God’s presence” (p. 3). Similarly, bureaucracy often restricts employees from the benefits of an organization. Matthew 12:1-8 shows us how Jesus ‘busted the bureaucracy by stating that what was permissible for David was also permissible for his disciples. As such, He clearly is showing us that people’s needs take precedent over polices and rules. Jesus showed us that as “Lord over the Sabbath he also implied that his authority was greater than the Torah … Jesus took on bureaucracy and exhibited the characteristics of a charismatic leader while doing so” (Wilson, 2011, p. 6).

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS Discussion Questions (DQ) Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses. Weekly Participation Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week. APA Format and Writing Quality Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition. Use of Direct Quotes I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source. LopesWrite Policy For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes. Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages. Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor. The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
