Please help me finish this case study assignment; you can find relevant chapters in my textbook: Comparative International Management, Second Edition, Arndt Sorge, Niels Noorderhaven & Carla Koen, ISBN 9780415744836. I've also attached the case study article and questions

MBA 687 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric Scenario You have been contracted as an HR consultant by a U.S. LLC in Wilmington, Delaware, to solve their internal issues. This U.S. LLC is a branch of a Singaporean software solutions provider with 140 employees and $20M revenue per year. The CEO of the Singaporean headquarters wants to open new markets in the United States, gain access to new customers, diversify risk, leverage resources, and increase profits. To meet these goals, she tasked a VP to establish and take charge of the U.S. branch. Unfortunately, the newly formed U.S. branch has been facing several problems from the beginning. Employees at the call center and the sales and marketing division are disengaged and emotionally fatigued as a result of contradictory communication between the branch’s leadership and the leadership at the Singaporean headquarters. The branch team members feel frustrated and undervalued as a result of conflicting feedback from their VP and management team. Messages from leadership lack consistency, especially regarding policies and practices related to human resources. There is no training for team members. Communication problems between the Singaporean headquarters and the U.S. branch are resulting in low employee morale. Overall, the standard operating procedures (SOP) followed successfully at the headquarter office in Singapore could not be replicated at the U.S. branch. As a result, the CEO’s vision of successfully furthering expansion into the U.S. market remains unfulfilled. Prompt Perform the change readiness/needs assessment audit for the U.S. branch and submit a report of your findings to the VP in the course scenario. As the HR consultant, this would help you identify the readiness of the U.S. branch employees to adopt change plans. In this report prepared for the VP, you will discuss the change readiness of the workforce and leadership, willingness and capabilities for change, and any historical barriers to change from past planned or unplanned change management experiences. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria: Based on the Employee Engagement Surveys data, create visuals that illustrate areas in need of change at the U.S. branch. Your visuals should address the following: Appraisal, job-role stagnation, and promotion or recognition Apathy or disinterest regarding the vision, mission, and values of the organization Lack of trust in managers, especially senior leaders Impressions about the organization’s attitude to inclusion and diversity A justification of your selection of data points from the Employee Engagement Survey results Discuss employees’ confidence in change management practices: Consider the information available through the Employee Engagement Surveys and Leaders’ Self-Evaluations. Do employees have a high degree of confidence in the company’s leadership? Explain your reasoning. Explain the urgency for change at the employee and leadership level. Analyze the middle managers’ (team leads’) role in creating an adoption mindset: How would they serve as a bridge between the senior leaders and the frontline staff? Are they ready to take ownership of the proposed change? Explain your reasoning. How do leadership styles and power distribution impact change readiness? Identify opportunities to increase change readiness/trust at the U.S. branch: Why are some employees more accepting of change while others might be more reluctant? How does the Forms of Resistance Grid explain the common reasons for resistance to change? Refer to the Exit Interviews and explore the Forms of Resistance Grid to discuss any two forms of resistance from this list: ambivalence, peer-focused dissent, upward dissent, sabotage, refusal/exit. Use Hofstede's cultural dimension model and the Exit Interviews, Employee Engagement Surveys, and Leaders’ Self-Evaluations to explain cultural considerations that may have created difficulties for the employees of the U.S. branch to adjust to the Singaporean headquarters' SOPs: Summarize the importance of culture considerations using Hofstede’s cultural dimensions model in the context of the U.S. branch and the Singaporean headquarters. Explain how Hofstede's model helps analyze cultural differences based on specific evidence and not on pre-conceived notions about different cultures. Discuss how differences in specific dimensions of Hofstede's model may result in misunderstanding and change management frustration or failure. Discuss individualism and one other dimension from the list below that might impact the cross-cultural communication and business practice differences among the American and the Singaporean employees: Uncertainty avoidance Power distance Long-term orientation What to Submit Submit a 2- to 3-page Word document with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more information on citations.

MBA 687 Module Four Presentation Guidelines and Rubric Overview In Milestone One, as an HR consultant, you submitted a change readiness report. While you were performing your change readiness assessment, five employees from the U.S. call center quit as a group, along with the well-liked team lead. Top management is very concerned about this sudden incident. The VP has asked for your help in identifying a permanent solution to the issue of attrition at the U.S. branch of the Singaporean software solutions provider. You understand that attrition is primarily the result of low employee engagement. You are also aware that different employees may be engaged in diverse ways. You decide to make a presentation to explain the significance of employee engagement to the company leadership. You plan to also include the critical factors that influence employee engagement. Prompt Create a PowerPoint presentation with on-slide text and narration or speaker notes to help the business leaders in the course scenario understand how and why their employees are disengaged. Specifically, you need to address the following criteria: Note: Remember to use both on-slide text and narration or speaker notes in your PowerPoint slides to convey your information effectively. If narration is not possible, precise and extensive speaker notes should be used, while addressing all of the rubric elements in the presentation. For example, you can use brief, bulleted lists on the slide and include detailed explanations in your narration or speaker notes. Determine the impact of employee disengagement on attrition and productivity. (2 slides) Which conditions adversely influence employee engagement? How does employee disengagement impact attrition? How does employee disengagement influence productivity? Describe two critical factors that influence employee engagement. (2 slides) How can an organization positively influence workforce engagement levels? Identify and describe strategies (at least one) that can be used for improving employee engagement at the U.S. branch. (2–3 slides) Use the Employee Engagement Surveys and Leaders’ Self-Evaluations to assess the engagement levels of the employees at the U.S. branch. (2 slides) Which conditions that adversely influence employee engagement are evident from the employee engagement surveys? Are there any data points that indicate employees are disengaged? Consider emphasizing these data points visually.

THE RISE AND FALL OF BLOCKBUSTER (8:27) The Rise and Fall of Blockbuster (8:27)Misreading the scope of external/internal forces can make or break a company. These two videos are great examples of how a company and industry failed to properly scan the environment and adjust their business models. In both cases, changing consumer habits and emerging competitive forces led to their downfall.As you watch the videos, think of how each company/industry went astray. Identify the internal and external forces that led to their problems. Video not loading? Watch on Youtube THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BUFFET CHAIN - CHEDDAR EXPLAINS (9:27) (9:27) The Rise And Fall Of The Buffet Chain - Cheddar Explains (9:27) (9:27)In the 90s, buffet chains like Old Country Buffet and Golden Corral were seemingly everywhere. But since 2000, the industry has been in decline. While hygienic concerns and shifting consumer preferences have hindered the success of buffets, the business model was flawed from the start.

Responses to two peer posts will come later. Our videos this week profile companies or products that have famously failed. Think of a company or product that you think may not be around five to ten years from now. What are the environmental forces that would make them fail? Again, everyone must choose a different company so make sure you put the name of your company in the subject line. The company that I chose was Staples. Thanks so much bud.

Go to the Strategy Club website and review the "Sample Strategic Plan for Sanderson Farms" (2020) and "Juniper Networks" (2020) under the student resources section. This sample strategic plan is an example of what your completed strategic case analysis should look like at the end of the course. **I attached those for review** but not really necessary for this week. Every strategy will have associated costs. Determining how to provide enough necessary capital to adequately cover the projected costs is one of the more critical steps required to keep firms competitive. For each of the following parts, use your CLC group’s Strategic-Planning Template. Part V: Retained Earnings Create a Retained Earnings Table by doing the following: Step 1: Refer to and follow the steps given in Chapter 8 of Strategic Management: A Competitive Advantage Approach, Concepts, and Cases to learn how to complete a retained earnings table. Step 2: Use the data you have compiled about your company throughout the course to assist you. Step 3: Use your Strategic-Planning Template to complete the company retained earnings table. Step 4: In 50-100 words provide an overview of the analysis of the implications of the retained earnings for the firm. Please include at least 1 reference. ****This part can not be completed until all other team members have completed their parts of the group assignment*** Additionally, summarize (350-750 words) the importance of each of the five parts above in this assignment (Parts I-V). Explain how each of the parts contribute to the firm’s success going forward. Please include 5 references.

Part 1 Video lecture Video 2 OUTSIDE READING: Medieval Pilgrimage (attached) What is pilgrimage? According to your outside reading ("Pilgrimage in Medieval Europe"), what is the relationship between pilgrimage and sacred art (both art and architecture)? PLEASE USE A DIRECT QUOTATION! What is a reliquary and why are they important to pilgrims? How do we see the benefits of pilgrimage visually represented on the cathedral of St. Lazare in Autun, France? YOU MUST BE SPECIFIC! Part 2 Friends, this week we begin the Gothic Period, which we very much associate with the rising power of the Capetian Dynasty in France. Although your lectures dance around this issue, the rise of the Gothic style is very much a response to the increasingly powerful and centralized power of the kings of France. After all, the massive Gothic cathedrals built around Paris in the 1100's and 1200's couldn't have happened in a period of economic and political chaos. Please note, this week, you have two outside lectures, one quite short (which discusses the Church of St. Denis), and a much longer one on the crown jewel of the Gothic period, Chartres Cathedral outside of Paris (be aware that "Chartres" is pronounced as "shartra"in French and typically as "shart" by English speakers). You also have two brief readings. The second of these is an article on the restoration of Chartres Cathedral from 2017 which I find fascinating (so should you!!). Please read everything carefully. Reading Outside lecture Outsude lecture 2 OUTSIDE READING: The "Scandalous" Restoration of Chartres (attached) Abbot Suger was the administrator at the Abbey of St. Denis (note: Abbot is his title, not his name). What was so important about this church? Why did Suger feel the church needed to be more spectacular? What new building techniques did Suger implement at St. Denis (particularly in the ambulatory, the walkway behind the altar of the church)? For Suger, what did the emphasis on decoration, and particularly stained glass represent? Finally, read the article on the controversial restoration of Chartres Cathedral from 2017. What was so controversial about this restoration? Which side do you think is right? PLEASE USE A DIRECT QUOTATION IN YOUR ANSWER! RUBRIC Answer the questions in the prompt! Answer all of them! This is the most common cause of a reduced score. • If asked to analyze an image, analyze it with specific details. If you are vague, unclear, or your work lacks specificity, you will be marked down. If you are sure that you have answered all of the questions in the Learning Log and you still have a reduced grade, this is most likely the cause. • You should aim as much as possible to use appropriate terms from the textbook and lecture. Using incorrect terminology is a giveaway that you have not taken appropriate notes during lecture and your reading. • Quote specifically and appropriately from the book or other relevant documents if asked. It is extremely important that you show evidence of an appropriate engagement with the textbook. Learning Logs that do not directly cite a relevant passage from the book will be graded down. • Do not paste in information from the web or use outside sources. YOU SHOULD DO NO OUTSIDE RESEARCH--use only your book and lecture notes. • Do not be overly general and/or vague: “Art has always been a part of human history...” “Art is known to be a powerful way to communicate...” • Do not include lengthy background information on works of art, artists, or time periods unless absolutely necessary or directly relevant. • Aim for clarity and organization in your writing just as you would in any piece of graded, formal or professional writing. • Feel free to be bold and creative in your response, so long as you can back it up with visual evidence.
