Team Project: Chattanooga Ice Cream Division Case Analysis

Now’s your chance to apply to a complex business situation everything you’ve learned from the teamwork model in The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, as well as what you’ve learned so far in the lectures, videos, and readings.

Using the team discussion boards, you will complete a written analysis of the Chattanooga Ice Cream Division case study. Each team will submit one case analysis explaining:

* Where Charlie Moore has gone wrong as a leader, specifically in terms of team management and decision-making;

* What this group of employees themselves could do to better understand the perspectives of each other and their boss; and

* What Moore should do now to help his team work together and resolve conflicts more effectively? The case analysis should incorporate concepts and examples from the lectures, readings, videos, and other course materials and should be at least four pages in length. Please cite all sources and references in APA format.

The team discussion boards are structured as follows:

* Team Introduction Thread: Collaborate under the “Team Introduction” discussion thread to complete the team charter and have the team leader submit it to the “Team Charter” folder by day 7 of Module 2.

* Planning Phase Thread: Use the “Planning Phase” thread to outline your team’s case analysis. The team leader needs to post the final outline to the team discussion board by day 7 of Module 3.

* Development Phase Thread: Develop a rough draft in the “Development Phase” thread. Each team member needs to prepare a draft of his/her portion of the team project and post a copy on the team discussion board. Use these individual drafts to complete a single rough draft of the team project by the end of Module 4. The team leader needs to post the final rough draft to the discussion board by day 7 of Module 4.

* Execution Phase Thread: Finalize your team’s case analysis and submit it to the “Team Project” folder in the Module 5 assignment folder. Select one member of the team to submit the team project in the “Team Project” folder inside of Module 5.

* Discussion Recap Phase: Each team will complete a team assessment.

Note: The team charter, outline, and rough draft are not graded assessments; however, they are required in order for the team to receive full credit on the team project.
