Part 2: Turn in Part 2 of the
case study at the end of this unit. The Part 2 of the case study is a PowerPoint
presentation with voiceover recording. The Voiceover will be the narrative you
would be presenting as if this were a live presentation. You will, in essence,
be making a presentation to the Board of Directors of your organization. – Begin with a brief review of the organization. Keep in mind
that the members of the board may or may not have read the report you completed
in Parts 1 of the Project. Even though this will be a brief presentation, it
should include all essential information and data. -Be based on the Readings;
create a balanced scorecard, incorporating all four of the organizational
dimensions (financial, customer, internal business, and learning and growth).
Identify 3-5 critical success factors (CSF) for each dimension, and evaluate
your organization’s performance in relation to these critical success factors.
(To help you with this part, review the material found on pages 11, and 43
through 51 in your textbook. Your BSC should resemble Exhibit 2.5 in the
Textbook, page 45). -Identify significant costs in your organization. Which of
these costs are associated with quality? Remember, quality costs are not
limited to manufacturing organizations. There are also costs associated with
the quality of service. Are there costs associated with environmental concerns?
Evaluate these quality and environmental costs and identify whether they are
prevention costs, appraisal (detection) costs, internal failure costs, or
external failure costs. -Create a
“Strategy Map” for your organization. Your organization’s Strategy Map should
resemble Exhibit 2.6, seen on page 47 of your textbook. Include an explanation for each element in
your Strategy Map. One thing to particularly note – The BSC and Strategy Map
must be aligned. Please compare Exhibit 2.6 & 2.7 on pages 47 & 48 in
the textbook. Please note that the elements in the BSC & the Strategy Map
are coordinated. -Next, incorporate a discussion of Sustainability, as seen on
pages 48 to 51 in your textbook. Use specific measures for Environmental (EPI)
and Social Performance Indicators (SPI).
Unit 4 – Assignment 2 [GB519 | Measurement and Decision
Making]

-Include a section devoted to
Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis (CVP) Review Chapter 9 in your textbook. The level
of detail you include in this section is flexible. But, make sure your analysis
is related to actual financial data from the company. -Finally, end with a summary review (A formal
“Conclusion” slide is required) of the performance evaluation. What are the key
strengths and weaknesses of the organization? What changes would you recommend
be made to the current organizational strategy? Additional content could
include: A discussion of any potential biases that could potentially impact the
outcome of the decision-making process related to the continued success of the
organization. The Power Point
presentation should include 12 – 14 slides. The first slide must be a Title
Slide, and the Final Slide must be your Reference List. The presentation itself
(voiceover) should be 10 to 15 minutes long. In addition to recording the
Voiceover, the text of your Voiceover must be written into the “Notes” section
of each slide. Proper Grammar and spelling will be an important part of the
assignment. So, be sure to perform a “Spell Check.” Important Note: One of the
most important techniques to use in any PowerPoint presentation is to create
clean, crisp slides that use a minimal number of “bullet points.” If the slide
is too cluttered, the presentation suffers. Therefore, the “Notes” section
underneath each slide should be the place where all of the topics in that slide
are thoroughly developed. Do not add the body of your presentation to the
slides. Only incorporate the main “talking points,” then use the Notes section
to add all of the body, thereby creating a more professional and robust
presentation. After you have completed the case study, upload your PowerPoint presentation
to the Unit 4 Assignment 2 Case Study Dropbox before 11:59 p.m. (ET), on
Tuesday of Unit 4.
