Assume that senior management has asked you to speak at the next managerial meeting as they have indicated a need to improve planning and organizing functions throughout the company. As an example for your presentation, select an organization you are familiar with and then perform a thorough analysis of the planning and management functions as they are performed in that organization. In your analysis be sure to:

Examine specific activities within the company where the four functions of management are performed and indicate how they are interrelated.

Identify and describe, within the structure of the company, the elements of organization and how they are interrelated.

Identity if and how planning takes place in the organization.

Identify the mission of the organization.

Based on this analysis and from your own ideas, identify two goals for the organization that might be achieved over the next six months.

Recommend an organization strategy to reach your two goals in order to improve planning and organizing processes.

Develop a PowerPoint presentation that includes a visual model that shows your audience of senior leaders the key concepts you are analyzing. Hint: To make a visual model or concept map linking ideas, go to Power Point and use “insert shapes” and use additional lines to show relationships. Insert text into your boxes. You can also go to many web sites by Googling “concept map” that show examples of such visual aids. An example:

Penn State University Library, Create a Concept Map.

Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as “speaker notes” for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.

Support your presentation with at least three (3) scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included. 

Length: 12-15 slides (with a separate reference slide)

Notes Length: 100-150 words for each slide
