I had success through the third quarter but compared to the competitors did not have a high market share. One of my main goals coming when creating the business was to find a niche market and have success. I maintained good product review. In the fourth quarter I increased the number of advertisements using the customer review research information provided. I would expect to see an increase in sales based on this decision in the next year.
Microsoft is an organization spread throughout multiple countries and the sell software related products for computers and similar devices – personal and business. However, for this particular paper I will be looking in-depth at how Microsoft has implemented the following organizational concepts and if they were successful, if they were not why – organizational structure, organizational culture, and their human resource practices. Have these concepts helped Microsoft in achieving their successes, not just small successes either. One company representative, in Microsoft’s flash presentation on their website contributed their successes to four factors, “…passion, long-term approach, the expectation of great results, and the expectation of individual excellence” (Microsoft, 2008). Will my research agree?
I think that independent surveys were a great source of summary for the company to realize there was something missing. Alliant did a great job on creating the diversity awareness training, eight- hours workshop and an internal diversity council. All that helped the employees to address diversity on a larger scale. I would have done the same, but I would have done an independent survey after the training has been completed. That
In the early 2000’s, the MSCC, became the most powerful advocacy organization for the business community under the new leadership of President Jack Wallingford. As the growing demands of members and employees were increasing, the MidSouth Chamber of Commerce (MSCC) has decided to update its computing systems. The management then decided to consolidate their systems to AS/400 based system called UNITRAK. Ted Vassici has supported the systems for a significant period before Simon Kovecki was hired by MidSouth Chamber of Commerce (MSCC). Simon Kovecki was in charge of implementing this new system, but he ended up with failure that left MidSouth Chamber of Commerce (MSCC) with lost data on the old systems, and an inoperable UNITRAK system.
Case Questions: 1. How do information systems projects get started in organizations? Information System projects start with a request which describes problems or desired changes in an information system or a business process. The request might propose enhancements for an existing system, the correction of problems, the replacement of an older system, or the development of an entirely new information system that is needed to support a company’s current and future business needs. In the Petrie Electronics a request from the executive team has decided that the number one priority is to not only survive but to thrive and prosper by developing closer relationships with their customers.
Employees should feel that the company they work for cares about their personal life as much as they care about them being at work and providing the employees with these particular benefits shows this. Create a strategy for ensuring that the Geico plan addresses all of the advantages. The first plan to the strategy would be to get a team together from different departments of the company to come up with ideas from the employees that would interest them. Once the ideas have been gathered, have a meeting with company members to see which ideas can be implemented into the company without causing a high financial strain. The second part of the strategy would be to gather information from other companies to see what made their programs successful and comparing those ideas with ideas the members of the team that have already been put into place.
Improving Organizational Performance April 29, 2013 Psy 428 Professor Catherine Floyd-Jennings Improving Organizational Performance Job satisfaction and productive work performance are essential factors in an organization. Ensuring that employees are satisfied and capable of exhibiting quality work performance can be challenging. This report will explore the four major phases of the simulation and the solutions recommended for improving work performance.

Next, specify the range of employee discretion and allowing employees to become a part of the business will help the employees understand why the company has to make decisions for individual jobs. Finally, informing individuals when delegation occurs, and establish excellent feedback channels will both help accomplish the task delegated successfully (Robbins and Coulter, 2012, p. 281-282). Assignment Clarification In clarifying the assignment, it is important that a delegator understand what they are asking someone else to do and to whom it will present. Anne knew that Ricky was more than capable of completing the task. However, Anne did not consider what other projects Ricky might already be working.
