...Decisions in Paradise Part III Milliman, Inc. is a consulting firm in the process of expanding a business to the island of Kava. Milliman has met with various government agencies and businesses on the island to determine what type of financial planning is needed. The following will examine the factors affecting the decisions of creating a business on kava and the process that will assist in making the business successful. Factors affecting the decision implementation When starting a new project, one of the biggest factors that could affect implementing any decision is communication. As leaders for the Kava project, Alex and I need to make sure that we clearly and thoroughly explain what the goal is, and listen to the members of our team to obtain quality solutions. “Effective communication is without doubt a key component of successful change.” (Lewis, 2006). For the Kava office to be successful, our team must be able to communicate the goals and expectations to the team. We must also be willing to hear feedback and value the input received from the team members (Lewis, 2006). The first three goals established were to hire a local employee, create a marketing brochure, and obtain proper business licenses and tax requirements to operate legally in Kava. Although we have used the resources at corporate to help with all three, there are still small issues that Alex and I must be able to deal with, and also need to create options in the event the original plan does...

...university. By 1947, the company started to make radio broadcasting equipment. During the late 1960’s, the company had increased its business to include data transmission equipment. The company was known for their high-quality innovative designs and described itself as being able to “convert problems to solutions” in their sales brochures. The organizational structure of the Rondell Data Corporation is mechanistic and did not allow for effective communication. There were many departments and layers of management, yet there was no clear integration of communication within the company. An organic structure would have facilitated widespread communication necessary for all employees to achieve complete communication necessary for efficiency (Daft, 31). The key issue in this case is the tension between the historically informal departments of ESD and Production. There has been a relatively high amount of turnover in the ESD department. The production department is rather isolated and there are tensions over a lack of respect among the departments regarding quality control. Forbus’ ESD department is scattered and he has difficult time distinguishing himself as the leader; there is low morale among his employees. The company should revisit their organizational design. They also need to find a way to facilitate effective communication among departments. The company is currently managing in a centralized structure, reducing the effectiveness of the company across all departments...

...| Kjeseth, Mitchell | Tran, Dung | Vo, Duong “Lucy” | Walden, Giovanna | Wang, Yang | White, Cassi Noel | Kjeseth, Mitchell | Overview Before becoming Accenture, Andersen Consulting was a new branch of Andersen Accounting in 1989. Andersen Consulting faced a difficult task of positioning itself in the information technology marketing while also forging an identity separate from its accounting heritage. The challenge was to retain the positive aspects of the brand equity and break away from the limitations associated with an accounting brand. Originally, Andersen Consulting did not offer innovative solutions, which caused it difficulty in establishing a presence in the technology world. With its expertise in marketing and communications, Andersen Consulting quickly set apart from its competitors like IBM or McKinsey. It used sophisticated marketing strategies and advertising campaign for its name position and image. Eventually, this led Andersen to become the world’s largest management and technology-consulting firm. After a while, Andersen Consulting decided to seek independence as a separate company from Arthur Andersen. It was granted its independence in 2000, but as part of the ruling granting its independence, the license to use the Andersen Consulting name was to expire December 31 2000. After spending $7 billion in building the brand over many years, it now had to find, implement, and introduce to the world a new name in a matter of months. This...

Discuss the implications of co-conducting a project plan from the project and department managers’ points of view. After studying the case study, it is clear that both project managers and functional departments are positioned as the same level of Beijing EAPs Consulting (BEC) hierarchy. The main organizational of this structure reflects that they concentrated on planning, managing, and marketing each project. Both sections have its own project department including department A and B. This indicates that each project department has the authority to determine which duty should be assigned to proceed in the project cycle. On the other hand, the project managers believed that their authority had potential to identify orders and directions to the departmental subordinates. Neither subordinates nor the managers were familiar with the new structure because both had already been adjusted to the old function of BEC. Mr. Zheng had to change the BEC’s strategy because the new vision of organization mainly focused on business practices and the market’s potential profit sources. Due to the result of increased business demands, he changed the structure of the organization in order to enhance the efficiency of BEC’s human resources. BEC also faced with another issue which came from the project management...

...Ethical Issues in Business: I and two business associates have decided to start a small consulting business. We will be providing management consulting expertise and service nonprofit organizations. Many of our clients will be paying for this management consultation using federal funds. We intend to have between fifteen and twenty employees in addition to ourselves. We bring with us the highest ethical credentials but we feel that it is imperative that we implement a code of ethics/conduct and require our future employees to use it as a guideline for performing their duties to our clients. The emphasis will weigh heavily on social responsibility and a high standard of ethical thinking. Sometimes the ethical decision is not the most popular decision or the most profitable, but doing the right thing is always the best thing and if we follow this course of action we will be successful as a company and the profits will follow. In this day and age we feel it is vital to have an ethics program in place so that everyone in the company is on the same page morally. Code of Conduct The purpose of a code of conduct is to strengthen the company’s ethical environment and provide an employee format for adherence to certain principles, responsibilities and standards determined by the management. Some of the areas we will incorporate into our Code of Conduct are as follows: (A) Obey laws and regulations: All employees must comply and obey laws that impact...
