Group tools

Your instructor chooses which communication and collaboration tools are available to your group. If you want to use a tool but don’t find it on your group’s page, ask your instructor to enable it.

Group Tool	Description
File Exchange	Group members and instructors can share files in this area. All members can add and delete files, regardless of who added them.
Group Blog	In the group area, all members of a group can create entries for
	the same blog and build on each entry. All course members can read and comment on a group blog, but they can’t make posts unless they are members of the group. Instructors can choose to grade group blogs. All group members receive the same grade.
Group Journal	In the group area, all members of a group can view each other’s entries. Only group members and instructors can view a group journal. Instructors can choose to grade group journals. All group members receive the same grade.
Send Email	Group members can email individual members or the entire group.

My Best Assignment Help

You can’t create folders in file exchange. With your group, decide how you want to name files so that they are easier to locate in a long list.

Add a file to the file exchange

Group Tools > File Exchange > Add File

Add a name for the file you want to upload. Browse for the file and submit it.

You can also delete any file if you wish. On the File Exchange page, select Delete in the file’s menu. But it would be good to keep all the files for any future reference.

Group Blog

All the group members can discuss the assignment by using Group Blog. Once you are allocated in a group, you can see this function.

Group > Group Tools > Group Blog > Create Blog Entry

Assignment Section	Student/Students

This table needs to be completed and submitted with the assignment as it is a compulsory component required before any grading is undertaken.

List of Topics (Choose one):

TOPIC 1   Globalisation General Framework   In this topic, you are to research globalization. The business press bombards us with ideas about ‘The shrinking world’, ‘the flat world’ and ‘the border-less world’ – all catchphrases to describe the impact of globalization. But are the (trade) borders really collapsing or are we seeing, post-GFC, a resurgence in them? What is behind the extreme demonstrations against globalization at G7 and WTC conferences?

Individual Components   World 3.0: P Ghemawat’s questioning of whether the world really is as ‘global’ as we are being told it is and his ideas about how it could be globalized more effectively.Anthony Giddens’ ideas on globalization.The “End of Poverty” movement and the contrary assertion that “Trade NOT aid” is the way to a more globalized world that mitigates against poverty.

TOPIC 2   Corporate or Organisational Culture General Framework   Discuss why corporate culture is such an important determinant of organizational success. Outline the dimensions commonly used in describing a particular organization’s culture.   Individual Components

Each individual should focus on one (or two) of the dimensions and identify a specific organization noted for its emphasis of that dimension. Describe how that organization stresses that particular component of organizational culture and comment on whether they have been successful [Note: Individual team members must choose different dimensions and thus outline different actual cases].       TOPIC 3   National Culture General Framework   Discuss why an understanding of national culture is important for multi-national or trans-national corporations seeking to operate in a global business environment. Outline the dimensions commonly used in describing national culture.   Individual Components   Each individual should choose a different country classifying it in terms of the commonly-used dimensions for describing national culture.   Choose the countries wisely so that differences can be highlighted. Each member should seek to find specific examples in their country of choice to illustrate the classification they have made.

Choose the countries wisely so that differences can be highlighted. Each member should seek to find specific examples in their country of choice to illustrate the classification they have made.

TOPIC 4   Management Decision Making: Social Model General Framework   There is little doubt that social influences have a significant impact on decision-making behavior. Social pressures and influences may cause managers to make irrational decisions. Outline, in the general framework, a model of social influence on decision making.   Individual Components   The individual components of this topic introduce some classic studies as illustrative of the impact of social influences on decision making.

Solomon Asch’s classic study into the impact of social conformity on decision making.Stanley Milgram’s classic study of the influence that obedience to an authority figure can have on decision making.Fred Luthans’ study on the influence of information presented in a computer printout in contrast to the same information presented from an ordinary typewriter. Groupthink examples.

 

TOPIC 6   The Hawthorne Studies General Framework   The Hawthorne studies had their origins in the Scientific School of Management and constituted a genuine attempt at discovery through research. By today’s standards, there were deficiencies in the research which will be highlighted in the individual components of this topic.   In your introduction outline the overall context of the Hawthorne studies and in your conclusion, stress the significant outcomes from the studies notwithstanding the acknowledged defects in the research methodology.   Individual Components   The Illumination Studies: One member of the group chooses this phase of the studies.The Relay Room Experiments: Another member of the group chooses this phase of the studies.The Bank Wiring Experiments: The third member of the group choose this phase.

Apart from describing the phase you have chosen, you must identify the specific research methodological weaknesses inherent in that phase.

TOPIC 7   Stakeholder Relationship Management and its influence on Management Decision Making General Framework   Relationship management is one of the highest-level managerial functions. Use an example to illustrate poor relationship management and the outcome that resulted from it. Outline the four-step approach to stakeholder relationship management.   Individual Components Construct an example to illustrate good stakeholder relationship management. Using your example:   Define the general external environment of your example, identifying stakeholders within it. Define the specific external environment of your example, identifying stakeholders within it. 3.Discuss how the multi-advocacy approach to stakeholder relationship management would assist managers in decision making which is sensitive to managing stakeholder relationships.

TOPIC 8   Organisational Structure General Framework   Outline, six key elements commonly used to define the structure of an organization identifying the management theorist who identified each of these elements. Then outline four factors (contingencies) that are commonly used to define the situation (the organizational environment).   Individual Components   Each individual should select an example organization – a real example – and suggest what you believe to be the structure of that organization in terms of the six key elements that are used to define organizational structure. For your example organization, you should define their organizational environment in the terms of the four contingency factors and comment on the match (or mismatch) of the organization to its organizational environment.
