The new Execu�ve Director for the new Asia Division, has been asked by Max Barney to put together, and present to him, a business unit strategy that will be a guide for the next year as the new division moves forward. The Execu�ve Director will be working with the consul�ng group over the next 5 weeks and they will assist with pu�ng together this plan to be laid out as follows and developed in three phases.

You have successfully complete Phase I and it is now �me to complete Phase II. the second phase, Sec�on I and Sec�on VII will be completed.

Sec�on I – Execu�ve Summary

Sec�on II – Goals and Objec�ves

Sec�on III – Compe��ve Analysis

Sec�on IV – Descrip�on of Organiza�onal Structure and Culture

Sec�on V – Breakdown of Product and Services

Sec�on VI – Communica�ons Plan

Sec�on VII – Human Resources Plan

A Business Unit Strategy will provide the organiza�on an opportunity to explain the goals and objec�ves of the new division and help with the development of the strategy to achieve them. The plan will allow the company to gain insight into the current status of the industry it is venturing into using internal and external analysis tools, and then use this analysis to design its division’s business environment. In addi�on, the plan will be used to form the team that will bring the vision for this division to reality.

Instruc�ons for comple�ng Phase III of the Business Unit Strategy

These two sec�ons will finalize the Business Unit Strategy the group from GoTo has been assis�ng the Execu�ve Director with, and should now be �ed as a single document.

Incorporate all three phases into a single paper for deliver. You will need the Biotech Company Profile to complete the analysis.

Step 1: Human Resource Plan

A human resource plan will allow the director of the new Asia division to iden�fy the future human resource needs for the organiza�on. The director has asked the GoTo Consul�ng group to evaluate the product line iden�fied and conduct market analysis to determine possible man power needs for the product manufacturing and overhead needs (to include all levels of management). The management levels should have been iden�fied in the Descrip�on of Organiza�onal Structure and Culture sec�on of this strategy, but the resource needs in manufacturing will need to be considered. Remember the only person currently hired for the new facility is the Director so there will need to be Assistant Division Directors (ADD) for the other areas iden�fied in the Structure such as Marke�ng, R&D, Sales, etc. Each of the ADD’s will need to have staff as well; you will need to iden�fy how each ADD will be provided staff. Will they iden�fy and interview themselves or will HR be a part of the hiring process. The Organiza�onal Chart is also a part of the HR plan so ensure it is also placed in this sec�on for reference.

Training is a key to reten�on in business today; employees like to feel they are important to the organiza�on and investment in their competencies shows commitment to them. So, consider what the new division will need to do to ensure they are keeping the best talent they find.

Evalua�ons is another way organiza�ons can show its commitment to employees. How will the new division conduct employee evalua�ons based on what is common in the area that the GoTo group iden�fied? This will require a level of research in common HR prac�ces in that region.

The group needs to remember that this is a brand new division that will be selling products that Biotech currently is not involved in so all aspects of business will need to be considered such as marke�ng, etc. Remember there is no perfect HR Plan, just plans that work and plans that do not. Good plans consider the employee and the culture around them just as important as the organiza�on itself.

Step 2: Phase I and Phase II

Tie all sec�ons from Phase I – Phase III into a single document using the feedback from Phase 1 and Phase 2 to make updates. What this means is that you will:

Physically combine the three documents; Integrate feedback given and updates you believe are necessary (you may not have feedback from Project at this point but you will have feedback for Project 1; Remove the introduc�ons used for Project 1 and Project 2; Ensure there are smooth transi�ons from one sec�on to another; Add any addi�onal informa�on or research that you have come across since wri�ng Project 1.

Step 3: Execu�ve Summary

The Execu�ve Summary will be the first sec�on of the paper but should be wri�en last since it will highlight what is intended for discussion in the rest of the strategy. A good execu�ve summary is compelling. It reveals the company’s mission statement, along with a short descrip�on of the products Biotech will provide at the launch of the new division. It is also necessary to briefly explain why Biotech is star�ng the new division and include details about Biotech’s experience related to the industry the company is entering.

Step 4: Review the Paper

Read the paper to ensure all required elements are present. Use the grading rubric to ensure that you gain the most points possible for this assignment.

Proofread the paper for spelling and gramma�cal issues, and third person wri�ng.

Read the paper aloud as a first measure; Use the spell and grammar check in Word as a second measure; Have someone who has excellent English skills to proof the paper; Consider submi�ng the memo to the Effec�ve Wri�ng Center (EWC). The EWC will provide 4-6 areas that may need improvement.

Step 5: Submit the paper in the Assignment Folder (The assignment submi�ed to the Assignment Folder will be considered the student's final product and therefore ready for grading by the instructor. It is incumbent upon the student to verify the assignment is the correct submission. No excep�ons will be considered by the instructor).

How to Set Up the Paper

Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document that is single-spaced, with double spaces between paragraphs. Use 12-point font. The final product will be 6-8 pages in length excluding the �tle page and reference page. Write clearly and concisely.

Read the grading rubric for the project. Use the grading rubric while comple�ng the project to ensure all requirements are met that will lead to the highest possible grade.

Third person wri�ng is required. Third person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first person wri�ng), nor is there use of “you or your” (second person wri�ng). If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link: h�p://www.quickanddirty�ps.com/educa�on/grammar/first-second-and-third-person.

Contrac�ons are not used in business wri�ng, so do not use them.

Paraphrase and do not use direct quota�on marks. Paraphrase means you do not use more than four consecu�ve words from a source document, but puts a passage from a source document into your own words and a�ribute the passage to the source document. Not using direct quota�on marks means that there should be no passages with quota�on marks and instead the source material is paraphrased as stated above. Note that a reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text cita�on and vice versa.

Provide the page or paragraph number (required) when using in-text cita�ons. If using the eBook, use Lumen Candela followed by the Sec�on �tle and paragraph number.

You are expected to use the case scenario, Biotech Company Profile, and weekly courses readings to develop the analysis and support the reasoning. The expecta�on is that you provide a robust use of the course readings and demonstrate thorough research of the cosme�c industry. The only external source material used is in rela�on to the research on the cosme�c industry. Material used from a source document must be cited and referenced. A reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text cita�on and vice versa.

Use a wide array of the course reading as well as sources from your research. The research should focus on informa�on related to the cosme�c industry.
