Deliverable 1 – Organizational Behavior Section of On boarding

Assignment Content Competency Determine the value of organizational behavior.

Scenario Individual behaviors in the workplace impact an organization, and leadership should understand its impact on an organization as a foundation for creating strategies in effectively leading.

In this scenario, a technology company has been struggling with sales recently, and leadership believes developing new, in-demand products will increase business.

The administration determined that hiring product and market development specialists will be necessary.

The new talent will assist current software developers, taking over some of their responsibilities with new products.

The company’s talent acquisition team has indicated that the newly hired talent on boarding activities will require current software developers to get them up to speed.

Overall, the developers are not happy with the decision to have the new talent take over some of their responsibilities, even though they do feel overwhelmed with current workloads.

They are not looking forward to training new employees either, even actively resisting this process.

As part of the talent acquisition team, you have been asked to complete a section for the on boarding playbook for new employees.

The section you have been asked to complete is the section on organizational behavior.

Instructions Develop a 2-3-page organizational behavior section of the on boarding playbook for all new employees that:

Assignment 1: Board Brief Part A – Framing the Problem/Opportunity

am doing my paper on Autism Speaks and Autism as a whole!!

Instructions

For all assignments in your Capstone Project, your work will be based on the organization you identified in your Week 2 Discussion Question post.

In this assignment, you will submit a 2-3 page paper in which you will include a brief overview of market conditions and develop a clear and well-focused problem/opportunity statement.

This requires you to provide sufficient background on the competitive environment and the organization to accurately frame the problem for your Board. Your deliverables are:

1. Present a brief overview of market conditions, the competitive environment, and the strengths and weaknesses of your organization relative to your competitors.

You should draw on one of the methodologies you have studied in the program (such as Jack’s 5 Step Strategy Framework, SWOT, PESTEL, or Porter’s Five Forces) to guide you, but DO NOT present a full-blown market analysis to the Board.

Your Board members will already possess significant knowledge of the market and the company, so use this overview to set the stage for the rest of your brief. Distill your overview down to 2 components.

a. First, provide a general overview of market conditions, trends, and big issues. For example, you may begin with a line such as “As you know, we have experienced considerable challenges in this space over the last two years…”

b. Then, summarize the competitive environment. Open with a sentence such as “Our biggest competitor ABC has made bold steps to develop X and has made significant gains in market share in Y. This has presented us with a number of challenges…”

2. Problem/Opportunity Statement

Following your overview, identify the specific problem or opportunity that, if properly addressed, will have a significant positive impact on the success of the organization. This will include your “testable hypothesis” for which you will gather and analyze data to validate in your next assignment. To accomplish this:

a. Define a clear problem or opportunity that addresses what is important to the organization in order to meaningfully improve its competitive strength. Note: It is expected that you will refine the problem/opportunity statement you drafted for your Week 2 Discussion Question, leveraging the feedback you received from your classmates and professor.

b. Identify key data and metrics you will study that are relevant to addressing the problem/opportunity.

c. Identify stakeholders who will be involved in addressing the problem/opportunity. At this stage, you do not need to name specific people, but you must identify functions, departments, geographical areas, etc., that will be impacted. You must also explain the nature of the potential impact.

d. Include relevant information on previous experiences or findings related to this problem/opportunity. This information may be noted in an appendix if that is more appropriate for context and flow.

Who exactly is your population? More detail needs to be prodded. The research methodology and methods are not fully aligned yet.

Employability, Research and Professional Development

The best questions clearly indicate the context and the population.

There is so room for improvement and being more specific in your questions regarme ding the population.

Currently, it looks as if you are going to include the entire world in your population.

Avoid closed questions, starting with DO/Does, that can be answered with a simple YES/No.

It is advisable to find more academic literature (ournal articles). Provide the specific reference for each arbde.

Your sampling strategy is not dear enough. Who exactly is your population? More detail needs to be prodded. The research methodology and methods are not fully aligned yet.

Refer back to Saunders and ensure they are perfectly aligned with each other.
Mention the UOP research ethics procedures and include passwords to protect data.

You are on the right track. With more work and refinement this proposal shows promise.
