Management Research

Research Paper: New Supervisory Skills
Your research paper is based on the following scenario:
You have just taken over as a Shift Supervisor at Bad Teddy
Bear Manufacturing and have a team of 30 under you. Your educational and
training level is exactly what you have today.
Your teams rotate shifts every 3 weeks and there are two
shifts, morning, 0700-3:30 PM and evening, 3PM to 11:30PM. You have the
flexibility to move people around shifts, and you stay on the same shift, with
overlap (i.e. your hours are 9-6). Two co-leads take over when you are not
there and stay on shifts with their workers.
The previous supervisor was let go for cause, failure to
meet quotas and leadership inability. The department’s morale is very low and
there is a great deal of pressure for your shift to perform.
On top of this, there is a problem with two of your employees,
one is always late and the other calls in sick frequently (you can decide what
factors lead to their absenteeism). The previous supervisor never did anything
about this and everyone knew it was an issue. One of your co-leads has brought
it to your attention and wants to know when you are going to fix it.
You also have an employee that has been there for 14 years
and has never been promoted to co-lead or supervisor. He came to you and wants
to know why? He is an older worker and knows what he is doing, however, one of
your co-leads told you that some of the younger workers grumble that he is too
slow and can’t learn new technology. He also stated that unless he gets the
opportunity to move up, he’ll quit and make sure that management knows you
never gave him a chance.
Finally, there is a brand new worker, a single mother, who
is super sharp and a very hard worker. She told you on your first day there how
much she loves working at the company and wants to progress upward. However,
childcare is an issue and sometimes she needs to leave early. On top of that,
her car has left her stranded on several occasions.
You are to develop a solution to present to each of your
co-leads on how to start fixing some of these issues. Make the paper
informative, with some of the techniques and terms that we have addressed thus
far in the course that deal with new supervisors. This about the terms leaders
vs. managers, counseling, feedback, types of leaders, SMART objectives, SWOT,
generational differences, Theory X and Y, MBWA, and favoritism. These terms are
not all-inclusive and you are welcome to add others to support your solutions.
This can be a narrative paper, informative paper, a letter
(albeit a long one) or a talking paper. You can use the first person to discuss
what you think needs to be done. You can also assign tasks or take tasks away
from co-leaders.
Your supervisor, co-leads, and workers can have fictional
names, you can add in additional issues or factors and most of all, have fun
and be creative in developing this workplace. Your co-leads can be good or bad
at their job, you can decide how little or much you want to delegate to them as
well as how much reporting back to you is needed.
Think about these challenges you will face as a new
supervisor. You may want to break this into fixing immediate problems, a
six-month goal, and one-year goal.
You should use proper APA 7th edition formatting.
You should have a title page, 3-5 pages of body content and
the last page should references. Make sure that your paper has references.
Use at least 3 references for your paper. They should be
articles that support your paper or lessons we have covered. Do not use
Wikipedia!
The paper should contain no more than 20% direct citations
or quotations. That means 80% should be your own analysis, thoughts, and ideas.

Theoretical Perspectives on Sustainable Development

Your submition must fall within the course literature,anything outside the course literature means a fail.You must go deep with your explanation.

You should write an essay which discusses the
following two questions:
1)
What understanding of the relationship
between society and nature is predominant in contemporary societies?
2)
How can that understanding (i.e. the
current relationship) be challenged?
In responding to both questions it is important to
build upon the course literature. When responding to the second questions you
should use different environmental sociological concepts and theories which may
serve to illustrate the unsustainability of current society-nature
relationships, and thereby suggest how a more sustainable relationship would
look like. You should introduce the concepts, define, and explain them.
Motivate how they may serve to challenge the dominant understanding of nature
in society and what changes they might suggest.
You are free to organize your essay and
argumentation as you see fit and to choose the concepts that you find the most relevant.
Your text will be assessed based on how you relate to and build upon the course
literature in your argumentation, your familiarity with and critical
understanding of the literature. Don’t forget that it is important to provide
clear references to the course literature in your text, with reference to the
specific page. Unless it is a reference to a very general argument, then you may
reference the whole book or chapter.
You should
write no more than 3 pages. Be aware that this means that you must work
carefully with your text, your arguments and references. Use 12p font size and
1.15 line spacing.

Good luck!
