Essays / Management Essay - Self-chosen topic: "Power - Strategic Management Tool". [16]

I have yet to start the drafting the essay.

1.The idea is to write an essay on any management topic (own choice)as PROJECT PAPER to complete my Master Degree Program.

2.The subject which I thought to be appropriate for that purpose is the roles of "power" as tool of strategic management.

3.From my limited understanding, "power" which "empowers" an organization to function effectively is the least discussed (or analyze) as stand-alone topic of management although "power" is mentioned and/or quoted popularly like other management concepts or techniques. Examples: Effective Team Building / 7-Habits ... by S. Covey / Miller's Bolt - A Modern Business Parable by Thomas Stirr/The Paths of Leadership by Andrew T. Le Peau ./ The Heart of A Leader - Insights on the Art of Influence by Ken Blanchard ..

4.I have yet to decide on specific approach on how to write the paper. For now to start with, the approah is by an outline as well by way explanation on the key roles of power in relation to strategic management.

5.I am starting to write down as much as possible - ideas, theories, and descriptions of power. To analayze their relevance to past and contemporary management practices - such as " The Power of Under-Table"= An art of securing business deals ... Power dressing to influence ...

HOW TO APPROACH?
Outline type?
Explanation type?
Discussion type?
Distinguish type?
Analytical type?
Informative type?

INTRODUCTION

Managing an organization without power or authority is like driving a vehicle without fuel of gas. Power or authority is highly sought commodity in management practices within and outside an organization. Talks about losing, gaining, balancing and sustaining power such as economic, financial and political power are everyday affair in the market places.

The title of this essay is called "POWER- TOOL OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT". + + + ...

Essays / Management Essay - Self-chosen topic: "Power - Strategic Management Tool". [16]

Dear Moderator,

Ever so many thanks for the valuable ideas and guidelnes.

Frankly, what I am doing now is basically some prepatory work pending near future discussion on the subject matter with the Dean, School of Management in my Un.

Instead of doing the Master Degree in Management by research (Thesis), I had opted to study 12 Management Subjects - with three(3)assignmnets including four semester-examinations(i.e one paper for every subject) PLUS an Essay or Project Paper Assignment. I intended to do do research theis for Ph.D in due time.

Further comments/ guides + + + ... are very much appreciated where ever you see appropriate.

Ever so many thanks once again.

Writing Feedback / Corporate Case Study, XXX-Car [5]

Dear Moderators and members.

Kindly provide some tips/approaches to tackle the answer (in essay form) to the problem quoted below:-

XXX-Car, once the "No.1" of the local corporate world, is recently undergoing one misfortune after another. Plagued with perceptions of inferior product quality, outdated product design, and exorbitant prices, coupled with reducing protection level from the government, XXX-Car, has not been able to compete, not only with the "foreign brands" but with the other national car makers as well. Its share prices at the local stock-market has been badly affected and in spite of its recent pleasant surprises in the forms of its new "Sport-Y" & the "Explorer-Z" model, most analysts recommend to downgrade XXX-Car from "Hold" to "Sell", reflecting market sentiment at large.

You are the newly appointed MD of XXX-Car, and your IMMEDIATE TASK is to turn around XXX-Car's fortune. Equipped with years of experience in corporate sectors, both at the operational & strategic positions, much is expected from you.

Based on what you have learned about competitiveness & organization strategy, along with your own reading & experience, DISCUSS various strategies (corporate, business, functional) that you as the new CEO, will deploy to ensure XXX-Car's competitiveness both in domestic & global market in the long run.

THANKS
