...MGMT 1001 Assignment 2 – Report – 30% of Final Mark Report Focus: Write a report reflecting on your experiences of the Everest group simulation exercise this semester with reference to concepts and theories encountered in this course. Executive Summary Everest, a virtual game designed by Harvard Business School and Forio Business Simulations, forces players to challenge problems that arise and conquer them as a team. After viewing a frightening video that portrays the mountain climbing experience, students are arranged in groups of five and assigned different roles with varying description and goals, ranging from ambitious athletes to preservative environmentalists. Confronting numerous challenges such as oxygen scarcity, unpredictable weather and volatile health conditions, teams progress up the mountain, with the ultimate goal of reaching the summit. The game is intelligent in its simplistic design – it gives different goals and information to each player. The physician has knowledge on numerous diseases, but is unable to use it if the marathoner fails to announce her critical health condition – a probable situation as the game encourages players to hide the information. In hindsight, our team was given two attempts to complete the simulation. The first simulation was conducted with little experience and understanding of group members and roles. Formation of conspiracies led to discomfort due to conflicting personal goals, limited resources,...

...RANDOLPH B. COHEN Dimensional Fund Advisors, 2002 In June of 2002, David Booth faced a dilemma. His firm, Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA), had in recent times shown stellar performance after going through some relatively rough patches in the late 1990s. Growth was steady and profits strong. Yet, Pensions and Investments ranked DFA a mere 96th in size among investment companies (see Exhibit 1). While DFA had never viewed maximizing assets under management as a goal, the ranking did suggest that it might be possible for DFA to achieve more as a firm than it currently was. Should Booth and DFA continue on the path that had brought them this far? Or was this the time for a major initiative that could catapult DFA to a status among the largest firms in the business? The Company and its Clients DFA was an investment firm based in Santa Monica, California. Founded in 1981 by Booth and Rex Sinquefield, two former students at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, DFA was dedicated to the principle that the stock market was “efficient”—that is, while over any given period some investors by luck would outperform the market and others would underperform, no one had the ability to consistently pick stocks that would beat the market. Such beliefs were associated with proponents of index funds, and, indeed, Sinquefield had run one of the very first S&P 500 index funds while at another firm. But DFA was not simply an index fund manager. In addition to efficient markets, DFA’s...

...LSI survey MGMT 591 Leadership and Organizational Behavior The Life Styles Inventory (LSI) is a self-assessment diagnostic instrument that measures 12 key thinking patterns, or "styles". The LSI promotes performance change and improvement by increasing personal understanding of one's thinking and behavior. By responding to these 240 inventory items, individuals learn exactly where they need to focus their development efforts, without ambiguity or guesswork. The results of the self-description are plotted on a circular graph for easy visualization of how the individual thinks and behaves in the 12 LSI styles. This profile acts as a personalized developmental needs assessment, calling attention to the individual's strengths as well as areas needing improvement. After using the Life Styles exercise and receiving my results, I feel that I have been able to accurately analyze my behaviors in the workplace and in my personal life. I noticed how my personal thinking style has influenced my ability to be effective in my work and as a result, there are some things that can be improved upon. This exercise has allowed me to look back and critically analyze my behaviors and thinking styles and assess how they affect me in day-to-day activities. I have been able to identify the mechanisms by which the relationships I have with my family and friend have manipulated my personal behavior and lifestyle over the years.Taking the Life Styles Inventory (LSI) survey has really made me realized and...

...Abstract Do you feel that you are apart of the Ecosystem? “To believe that we as humans are separate from the planet is ignorant.”(Carson, 2010) An ecosystem is described as all the living and non-living organisms in a particular area. This suggests that humans are most definitely part of our ecosystem and they have a very influential role. We are just as involved in our ecosystem if not more so than all the animals around us. We unlike most other species within an ecosystem have a particularly threatening and invasive approach on the environment, which we depend so heavily on for survival. Despite all the information that science has provided us with human populations have failed to change their approaches in many different areas of society and so our environment is suffering. Although every species on the planet is evolving humans are majorly accelerating this rate by polluting the environment. Global warming changes natural habitats and so species are forced to go elsewhere. We have a very delicate relationship with our earth one that we are bound to for the rest of our lives. We are totally dependant on the earth’s resources and therefore we aren’t separate from the planet, we are a focal point, as our interactions with the planet have consequential effects every day. Humans are very much immersed in the ecosystem as we play a high and mighty roll in the downfall of this planet. We are at the top of the food chain essentially and basically dictate the lives of the other...

...Combating the Aggressive Life Style Inventory and Gaining Success in the Workplace Glenn R November 9, 2014 MGMT 591: Leadership and Organizational Behavior Dr. Barbara Vallera Keller Graduate School of Management of DeVry University Abstract This paper explores the Life Styles Inventory (LSI) assessment and pitfalls of the competitive and approval management styles. In this evaluation, I also examine strengths and impacts of these styles. Specifically, how they can be utilized to benefit the organization and how these styles impact the four functions of management. This paper also reviews my circumplex (a person’s personal LSI profile) and critically evaluates and explains how these styles were developed. Through the course, Management 591 (MGMT 591), Leadership and Organizational Behavior (LOB), I also reflect on goals and accomplishments that can be achieved through the analysis of these frames. Combating the Aggressive Life Style Inventory and Gaining Success in the Workplace The LSI assessment helps an individual understand themselves by measuring what motivates individual behaviors. This assessment was developed by Robert A. Cooke and J. Clayton Lafferty, copyrighted by Human Synergistics International. It takes into account one’s thoughts and self-concepts and translates it into how one behaves. It looks at how one’s thinking influences goals, relationships, leadership effectiveness, and the ability to cope with stress (“What LSI Measures”, 2014). The...

...called a meeting with senior management to discuss the company’s growth strategy. A relatively small firm with sales of around $14 million,2 El Rey produced top-quality chocolate made with single-origin Venezuelan cocoa beans.3 The firm sold its chocolates in four different sectors—food services, industry, retail, and beverages4—and exported 17% of its production, mostly to the United States, Europe, and Japan. El Rey needed to grow, but Redmond wondered how to achieve growth and how to market the El Rey brand to its different target segments and international markets. With only 0.5% of cocoa’s world production, was it worth the effort to try to establish a country-of-origin image for Venezuelan chocolate? If so, how should El Rey go about it? And was this wise for a small company with scarce resources for marketing? El Rey In 1929, José Rafael Zozaya and his father-in–law, Carmelo Tuozzo, introduced chocolate bars under the El Rey brand, founding Venezuela’s second-oldest chocolate company. The company, called Tuozzo Zozaya and Co., was funded with a 15,000-Bolívares (Bs) loan from Pius Schlageter. Tuozzo Zozaya produced mainly chocolate bars for hot cocoa (chocolate de taza) for customers in the food services business. In 1971, Jorge Redmond, Mr. Schlageter’s great-grandson, returned from his studies abroad to attend to the family’s real estate business. In 1973, Redmond became a partner with the Zozaya family in Tuozzo Zozaya; in 1976, he bought them out and changed...
