Select a publicly traded US company. Fortune 500 Companies are strongly encouraged. Ideally, select a company that has had new management since 2000. Research the top management of the organization, and detail the strategies they advocated to help grow the company.
The paper should be minimum of 7 – 10 typed pages, using double
spaced, 12 point Times New Roman font. Diagrams and charts are
encouraged (ex. Org charts, financials, stock performance, etc.) but will not be counted towards the page count of the paper. Title, abstract, and reference pages will also not count towards page count.
A discussion of the use of a minimum of 5 Principles of Management Concepts is required. The more concepts used in the paper, the better.
You should use and document at least five sources. Peer-reviewed
sources are available from the business databases in the library and of course, the internet. All sources must be appropriately identified in your paper. You must follow APA guidelines for documentation of sources throughout your paper and the reference section.
As many companies had problems starting around 2008 – 2010 and again in 2020 which led to lay-offs and retrenchment, be sure to highlight how management helped move the company through those difficult economic years.
Examine the critical issues that the organization faced, and detail the strategies employed to mitigate them. All top managers are not successful. If the company you choose employed strategies that failed, detail the failure and add analysis as to why it failed and what may have been done to foster success.
