Management Strategy and Tactics

Unit VI Project

Throughout all projects, there are positive and negative risks. A part of the risk management plan is to have a mitigation strategy for each type of risk. For this assignment, prepare a risk register for the Lucky Me Animal Rescue adoption event project.

For the first part of this project, you will use a spreadsheet to create a risk register. You must identify a minimum of 10 risks on the risk register.

The risk register should contain, at a minimum, the information described below.

-Identify and describe all possible risks.

-Describe the potential impact on project success for each risk.

-Provide the probability of the risk occurring, and prioritize each risk (rank from most important to least).

-Create a mitigation strategy for each risk.

In the second part of this project, you will research and examine how the project’s quality could be impacted by the risks you have identified. Discuss what steps or tasks you would perform, as the project manager, to ensure that the project quality does not suffer due to the risks. (Note: Specifically address quality impacts, as you have already addressed the overall project impacts from the risks in the risk register.)

In the final and third part of this project, you will summarize what controlling phase tasks will help you in managing the project’s time, costs, schedule, resources, and quality while responding to the risks identified in the risk register. Begin with an introduction.

Include examples of outputs, communications, or documents specific to the Lucky Me Animal Rescue adoption event project as you summarize the controlling phase tasks.

The second and third parts of the project must be a minimum of two written pages, not counting the title and reference pages.

You must use a minimum of two sources that are peer-reviewed or academic in nature to support your project, one of which may be your textbook. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including the title page and in-text citations and references for all sources that are used.

You may either insert your risk register spreadsheet as an appendix to the written document, or you may submit the risk register as a separate file in in the assignment submission area of Blackboard.

Identify the characteristics by which the effectiveness of the following leaders might be evaluated: an assistant coach, a teacher, and a minister. Prioritize and explain the rationale for these characteristics.

Characteristics of Leader Effectiveness

The purpose of this assignment is to examine similarities and differences in characteristics of effectiveness for several familiar leadership roles. In a three- to four-page paper (excluding the title and reference pages)

Identify the characteristics by which the effectiveness of the following leaders might be evaluated: an assistant coach, a teacher, and a minister. Prioritize and explain the rationale for these characteristics.

Discuss the ethical issues or challenges associated with prioritization.

Compare and contrast the extent to which there are unique or similar characteristics across the different roles, and the extent to which the criteria are measurable. For example, some of the characteristics you might identify for the role of assistant coach might include the leadership behind a team’s win-loss record, player perceptions, team morale, etc.

Your paper must be formatted according to APA style as outlined
and must include citations and references from the text and at least two scholarly sources

Five of Strategic Analysis

Facebook has been surrounded by controversy. In 2017 the company lost around 2.8 million U.S. users under the age of 25. The prediction for 2018 is not much better.

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s CEO, has stated that due to the current controversy the amount of time users spend on Facebook has reduced by 50 million hours each day thus far in 2018.

A strategic analysis of Facebook using the Five I’s can help you better understand the crisis as well as how the organization should manage it.

In order to use the Five I’s in a strategic analysis, it is significant for you to gain an understanding of the history of the company.

This will help you determine how to strategically deal with stakeholders to avoid future public relations issues. Read pages 6-15 of “Facebook Fake News in the Post-Truth World,” a Harvard Business Review case study.

In addition to reading the Facebook case study, learn about the Five  strategic analysis stages by reviewing page 52 of your textbook, Business, Society and Government Essentials. Additional information on the Five  can also be found in the module overview.

To complete this assignment, address the following items in your short paper:

1. Identify the issue Facebook is having based on the HBR article (p.6-15).

2. Determine (identify) stakeholders who are for or against the direction Facebook is taking to avoid the public relations issues.

3. Identify the incentives of stakeholders by answering the following five questions:

a. What responsibility does the company have to the stakeholders?

b. Can the stakeholder help or hurt the company performance?

c. Is quick action needed?

d. What is the cost/benefit of the company taking action?

e. What action(s) the stakeholders take to help or oppose the public relations issue?

4. Identify the company objectives for what is wants to achieve in trying to reduce future public relations issues.

5. Identify interaction strategies that can be implemented in stages.
