DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ASSIGNMENT
This semester the subject has been structured around the classical management functions of planning, leading, organising, and controlling. We know from the work of Mintzberg and others that managers seldom have the luxury of structuring their day so that they spend a certain amount of time Leading, a certain amount of their time Planning and so on. A manager’s day is typically busy with short periods of time spent on many different tasks. Often managers are reacting to events taking place both inside and outside of the organisation.
In groups of three students, your task is to interview a manager in order to find out how they typically spend their day, week, month, or year. The next task is to compare the answers you receive and your observations of the managers you interview with the theory outlined in your textbook. This process of comparing information and observations with theory is the basis of much of the academic writing that you will undertake during your time at university. Your comparison should lead you to being able to make informed comments about the role of the manager you interview. By comparing actual management in practice with the theoretical “ideal best practice†described in the textbook and other sources you will be able to see how closely successful managers follow good theory.
Below is a set of questions to for you to use; your interview may be more comprehensive if you wish to prepare extra questions. You can discuss any extra questions you may wish to ask with your tutor. However, a good starting point is to address the themes covered in this subject during the semester. Do not try to ask too many “closed†questions. Closed questions are questions that can (and will) be answered with a “yes†or “noâ€.
• How do you plan your workday?
• How far into the future do you plan for your job role?
• How do you plan for your career, and how far into the future do you plan for it?
• What is it about your job that makes it difficult to achieve goals, and what makes it easy?
• How do you motivate your subordinates and how do you maintain your own motivation?
• How do you approach the task of leading others?
• What things do you look for in a person who leads you?
• Who do you see as your mentors, and whom do you provide mentoring for?
• How do you mentor?
• How do you achieve goals by working with subordinates and fellow managers?
• How do you deal with conflict in the work groups you manage?
• How do you deal with conflict between you and other managers?
• What ethical issues do you face in your management role and how do you deal with them?
• How important is it for you to be aware of workplace diversity?
• Does workplace diversity give your organisation a competitive advantage? If so why (or why not)?
Your final task is to reflect upon and discuss the skills required by your group to complete this assessment task. What skills did you need to plan and prepare for this task, what skills did you need to complete this task and what could you do to improve the outcome in the future? Why would you do things differently? What are the possible problems with your suggestion, and how would you overcome them? Draw upon your group process journals to help you reflect upon how your group worked together. Write a brief section summarising these reflections as part of your report.
Each group will be required to give a brief oral presentation (no more than 2 – 3 minutes) in each of the tutorials prior to the submission of the group assignment. All group members must be present for this brief oral report. The oral report will focus on detailing the progress made towards completing this assessment task, and outline such topics as: how tasks have been allocated amongst group members; who is being interviewed and any issues related to gaining access to your interviewee/manager; any problems that may be occurring with group members meeting their obligations and completing their group assigned tasks. These reports should be written up as a reflective “group process journal†(no more than 100 to 200 words) and used in the preparation of your description of team member contributions. These Group Process Journals are to be printed, signed and handed to your tutor at the time you give your feedback report. (See below following the description of the assessment task).
Your Field Study / Manager Interview findings are to be presented in formal report format. You will find a template for this report on VU Collaborate. The template will help you to organise your report and show you how a formal report is structured. You will see from reading the template that you need to include the following in your report:
• A cover page that clearly states; o The names and ID numbers of the members of your group o Your tutor’s name o The day and time of your tutorial o The name of the organisation and manager interviewed
• A table of contents that shows section headings and page numbers
• An introduction that tells the reader who you interviewed, where they are a manager, why you chose them, how you contacted them, and when the interview(s) took place. You should also include a short description of the company, the industry it is in and where it is located.
• A main body to your report. The main body of your report will be a logical explanation of your findings presented in clearly defined sections.
• A comparison between what you observed and relevant theory that will be set out with clearly defined sections.
o Be aware of the fact that every organisation is unique, and the way things are done in the organisation you visit may not be exactly “by the book†but it may be the most efficient and effective method for that organisation.
• A conclusion section. Your report will have a conclusion that sums up the key points of your discussion and comes to a concluding statement.
• A reference list that includes a minimum of three sources as well as your textbook. (This must MATCH the in-text reference citations of your report).
• Appendices for your group process journal and description of individual contribution (see appendices I and II of this document), interview questions and responses as well as any other material that is important to your report but may be too long to include in the main body of the work.
• To verify your interview process, an appendix showing the contact details of the manager you interviewed, with their business email address or web page address showing, if possible, both the organisation and their position or job title (e.g. company web page).
• An appendix containing a reflective discussion of the skills used by you for this assessment task. This section will appraise the skills you used in this field study assignment and outline the strengths and weaknesses of your assignment group in relation to those skills. Refer to the description of Graduate Capabilities in the Unit of Study Guide for a list of skills that your group may have developed by doing this assignment. Draw upon your group process journals to help you reflect upon your current skill levels.
Your report must be no longer than 3000 words, word processed (MS Word format) with line spacing set at 1.5 and printed on one side of the page only. All referencing must be done using the Harvard referencing system. Marks will be deducted for poor presentation, spelling, or grammar.
