and not use direct quotes. Students are expected to paraphrase,
which can be learned by reviewing this link:

Step 10:
In writing this assignment, students may use external resources
to address the school of thought and the theorist but the
majority of resources (a minimum of 3 internat resources) will
come from the course material.
Step 11:
Read critically and analyze the following scenario:
Part One
Scenario:
The shipping manager for Galaxy Toys Toledo, Ohio branch,
Bart Aldrin, has been in his job since 1969. Prior to coming to
4. Galaxy, Bart worked as shipping clerk for International
Shipping, a large container company. Bart quickly rose to
supervisor at International Shipping because of his ability to
plan daily work, provide detailed instructions to workers that
helped optimize the way tasks were performed and his knack of
implementing processes so workers could be trained to perform
their specialized sequence of motion in the most efficient way.
He brought this management style to Galaxy, which helped to
improve the methodology of toy assembly as well as the
shipping processes.
A major shift in management occurred in the late 1980’s and
early 90’s that caused Bart (and other managers) to reconsider
their management approach. For example, heightened
competition, advances in technology, the workers threat to
unionize, their greater demand for employee management
participation, work-life balance and a general shift in employee
workplace values all affected the culture of Galaxy. A greater
focus on employees led to a new approach to management at
Galaxy: people focus. The owners of Galaxy embraced
diversity and were willing to hear the ideas of employees and
this was change in attitude and culture was evident in Bart, who
embraced these changes wholeheartedly. These internal
changes enabled the company to adapt to uncertainty and to
respond to its competitors more quickly.
Answer the required assignment elements making sure that the
facts of the scenario and the course readings support the
reasoning of the answers provided.
Identify and discuss the school of thought that best describes
Bart’s management style when he first joined Galaxy.
Remember to explain the facts that you have relied upon in your
selection.
Discuss the theorist under the identified school of thought that
best depicts Bart’s management style when he joined Galaxy.
What contribution did this theorist make to management and
why was his or her contribution important to the field of
management? Remember to explain the facts that you’ve relied
5. upon in your selection.
Identify and discuss the school of thought that best describes
the management style Bart used once the shift took place? Why
is this school of thought the best choice? Remember to
demonstrate that the facts given in the scenario align with your
choice.
Identify and discuss the theorist who best supports this school
of thought. Address the principles of the theory and how these
principles affected the new approach to management as
exhibited Bart and his fellow managers. How does what the
theorist proposed, support the facts in the case study?
Compare and contrast the two schools of thought that were
identified above.
Part Two
Scenario:
Recently, Bart announced his plans to retire. His replacement is
Joyce Barnhart. Joyce is confident as a 21
st
century manager that she is capable of handling the new
position as manager.
As a 21
st
century manager, how will Joyce’s understanding of the role of
a manager be manifested/demonstrated in how she approaches
her job? Remember that in responding to this question, students
are expected to demonstrate their understanding of the 21
st
century management concepts discussed in this course.
How will the new approach to the job likely change the
production and shipping department at Galaxy headquarters?
Step 12:
Create the introductory paragraph. Within this paragraph,
provide a brief overview of the scenario. Then, provide a thesis
statement and tell the reader the main topics covered in the
6. paper. The introductory paragraph is the first paragraph of the
paper but is typically written after writing the body of the paper
(Questions students responded to above). View this website to
learn how to write an introductory paragraph:
http://www.writing.ucsb.edu/faculty/donelan/intro.html
Step 13:
Respond to the questions in Part One and Part Two following
the format provided. Be clear and concise in the writing and
make sure the questions are comprehensively answered.
Step 14:
Using the grading rubric as a comparison, read through the
paper to ensure all required elements are presented.
Step 15:
Proofread the paper for spelling and grammatical issues, and
third person writing.
Use the spell and grammar check in Word as a first measure;
Have someone who has excellent English skills to proof the
paper;
Consider submitting the paper to the Effective Writing Center
(EWC). The EWC will provide 4-6 areas that may need
improvement.
Step 16:
Submit the paper in the Assignment Folder.
