After reviewing the Riordan scenario, identify several issues that directly connect to the concepts in the
mind maps for weeks 4 through 6. In addition to reading the assigned text materials to develop
knowledge about the concepts, a thorough master’s-level education requires the development of
effective research skills. In this assignment, you work collaboratively to create a rich source from
which you individually develop alternative solutions for Riordan.
Resources: Scenario Two: Riordan Manufacturing, Riordan Generic Benchmarking Rubric
Complete the three steps to the Riordan Generic Benchmarking Rubric:
Step 1: Individually, identify and research two companies that have faced specific issues related to
those you identified in the scenario and connected with the course concepts. For each company
selected, discuss the following in a 350-word synopsis:
Issue identified in the scenario that is also facing the company.
How the company responded to the issue.
Outcomes of the company’s response to the issue.
Each team member must have two 350-word synopses, one for each company, which provides the
information identified. To avoid duplication of efforts, each team member must identify, to the team,
the companies he or she is researching before doing this part of the assignment.
Step 2: As a team, based upon the information gathered from the individual work done in Step 1,
prepare a 1,050- to 1,400-word analysis that synthesizes the key findings. As a team, using the
companies researched:
Identify the key course concepts.
Compare and contrast the practices of each company related to those concepts. Appropriately cite all
references used.
Step 3: The team submits a final composition which consists of a title page, the team’s overall analysis,
the individual company synopses—with the preparer of each synopsis identified—and an appropriate

2. reference page. As a guideline, a team of five submits roughly 13 to 14 pages of material and a title
page and reference page.
Format your paper according to APA standards.
