Question Details

The purpose of this
assignment is to apply your knowledge of the management responsibilities and
functions covered over the past few weeks. You do not want to generically
present information about the concepts, rather this is your opportunity to
apply what you have learned and practice being a manager.

For this assignment,
assume you are a new manager who manages a organization of more than 50
employees. Using your career area of interest, determine and describe the scope
of work performed by your department. Some ideas might include a sales &
customer service department, a technology & IT group, a human resources
department, a clinical department in a healthcare facility, or any other area
functional area which interests you.

Your vice president has
asked you to prepare and present to her a PowerPoint presentation that outlines
what actions you will be taking and what you expect to accomplish during the
first 90 days on the job. She requested that you be as specific as possible stating
what activities you will be involved in related to all of the functions of
management—planning, organizing, leading and controlling.

For each topic, state
what you will do and do not simply describe the concept. For example, if
talking about organizational structure, describe the organizational structure
you will implement for your department and and let us know why this is the best
structure for your situation. If talking about leadership style, describe your
leadership style and what you will seek from managers or leaders in your
organization.

Your PowerPoint
presentation should be a minimum of 12 slides and no more than15 slides and include
the following:


•	Title page
 
•	Agenda
 
•	Introduction
 
•	Planning

  Planning and Goal Setting 
 
  Decision Making Process 

•	Organizing

  Diversity Efforts 
 
  Organizational Structure 
 
  Human Resource Management 
•Leading
   Motivation 
 Leadership style 
 Communication 
 Teamwork 
•	Controlling
   Managerial and Quality Control 
   Information Technology and E-Business 
•	Conclusion
When developing a
presentation for an audience it important your actual slide only highlight the
key points of your “talking points” rather than include all the things you are
going to say. There is a note section at the bottom of the slide which for this
exercise you are to use.
Therefore, each slide
should have a slide portion with the key highlights or talking points. Then the
notes section will have a paragraph or two about what you will say when you
present that particular slide. For example, my Agenda slide might have the
following bullet points.
 •	Introduction
 •	Planning
 •	Organizing
 •	Leading
 •	Controlling
My notes section might
read, "Good Day. My name is Jessie Smith and I look forward to sharing
with you today my plans for our Human Resources department over the next 60
days. I will begin with a brief introduction, and then move on to the four
managerial functions: planning, organzing, leading, and controlling. Within
each area I will present specifically what actions I recommend take place
during the next 60 days."
