Management Principles

Project Part 2: Organizing Assignment Details: Complete a 8-10 page, double spaced, 12 point font paper in Word® by completing each of the (6) sections in the chart below. Submit the written project as an attachment into Blackboard under the correct project heading. No email submissions will be accepted. Please be sure to number your responses to correspond to the sections (and subsections) below. For example, in Section 1, if there is a subsection 1, then that section should be labeled, Section 1.1 and so forth. This not only helps to organize your paper but also helps me as the reader (and grader [Symbol]) to better understand your ideas. Your paper must contain a minimum of 65% original content. You must cite your sources accurately. http://guides.matc.edu/citing. Your project will be submitted using the Blackboard DiscussionBoard. Evaluation Criteria Points Criteria 24 SECTION 1: Determine Work Activities: Utilize the five-step organizing process first to determine the work activities. You should list a minimum of 8 work activities that need to be accomplished in order to achieve the goals you set in Project Part 1: Planning. 16 SECTION 2: Classify and Group Activities: Utilize the five-step organizing process to classify and group the activities you listed in Section 1. You should list a minimum of 4 groups and all work activities developed in Section 1 should be included in a group. 10 SECTION 3: Assign Work and Delegate Authority: Utilize the five-step organizing process to assign work and delegate authority. This includes assigning made-up names AND titles to lead the work activities you created in step 1. 10 SECTION 4: Design a Hierarchy of Relationships: Utilize the five-step organizing process to assign work and delegate authority. You should create an organizational chart that shows the names, titles, who reports to whom, and shows solid lines for line reporting relationships and a dotted line for staff reporting relationships. 10 SECTION 5: Identify all other resources that you may need including money, facilities, equipment, supplies, and information. 10 SECTION 6: Develop a timeline for completion of your goals utilizing a Gantt chart. You should include all the activities you listed in Section 2 above. Utilize the Gantt chart sample that is provided on Blackboard to complete your Gantt chart. Be sure to consider how long each work activity will take and the appropriate sequence, if any, for the work activities.  2: ORGANIZING Page Break The Organizational Process Organizing, like planning, must be a carefully worked out and applied process. This process involves determining what work is needed to accomplish the goal, assigning those tasks to individuals, and arranging those individuals in a decision‐making framework (organizational structure). The end result of the organizing process is an organization — a whole consisting of unified parts acting in harmony to execute tasks to achieve goals, both effectively and efficiently. A properly implemented organizing process should result in a work environment where all team members are aware of their responsibilities. If the organizing process is not conducted well, the results may yield confusion, frustration, loss of efficiency, and limited effectiveness. In general, the organizational process consists of five steps: 1.Review plans and objectives. Objectives are the specific activities that must be completed to achieve goals. Plans shape the activities needed to reach those goals. Managers must examine plans initially and continue to do so as plans change and new goals are developed. 2.Determine the work activities necessary to accomplish objectives. Although this task may seem overwhelming to some managers, it doesn’t need to be. Managers simply list and analyze all the tasks that need to be accomplished in order to reach organizational goals. 3.Classify and group the necessary work activities into manageable units. A manager can group activities based on four models of departmentalization: functional, geographical, product, and customer. 4.Assign activities and delegate authority. Managers assign the defined work activities to specific individuals. Also, they give each individual the authority (right) to carry out the assigned tasks. 5.Design a hierarchy of relationships. A manager should determine the vertical (decision‐making) and horizontal (coordinating) relationships of the organization as a whole. Next, using the organizational chart, a manager should diagram the relationships.
