Introduction:

The MGT599 Session Long Project is designed to work in parallel with the Case Assignments, which build on each other module by module.

After completing the Module 1 Case Assignment, where you critically evaluated the vision, values, mission statement, and goals/objectives of PepsiCo, and wrote a 6- to 7-page paper addressing the five steps outlined in the Case Assignment instructions, complete the following SLP assignment.

Assignment Instructions:

Write a 3- to 4-page paper comparing Pepsico as you characterized it in your Case Assignment to an organization you are a part of, or an organization you know well. You have broad flexibility for this assignment. You can write about an organization you work in now or worked in previously, an organization you are familiar with, or an organization you are interested in. Military units are excellent examples of organizations, and are perfectly acceptable for this assignment, as well.

Assignment Components:

1. Compare and apply Pepsico’s vision, mission, values, and goals (based on Step 1 in the Module 1 Case Assignment) to the organization you chose for this assignment.

2. Based on your critical evaluation of Pepsico’s mission, vision, values, and goals (Step 2 in the Module 1 Case Assignment), compare and apply your conclusions to the organization you chose for this assignment, writing specifically about how your organization, in your opinion, compares with Pepsico.

3. Based on your consideration of changes and needed improvements (from Step 4 in the Module 1 Case Assignment), perform a similar analysis of your chosen organization, comparing the two organizations and determining which one needs more changes.

4. To round out this assignment, write a section that explores the key differences in the vision, mission, values, and goals of Pepsico and the organization you chose for this assignment, discussing what each organization can learn from the other.

Chapter 3 focuses a good deal of time on the legal issues facing employment especially when it comes to discrimination. One of the main issues within discrimination is affirmative action. After reviewing the chapter and information, discuss whether you believe affirmative action is still needed and why or why not.

Chapter 4 discusses how employers recruit and interview potential candidates. A popular method of recruitment is employee referral. After reviewing the chapter, discuss the pros/cons of utilizing employee referrals for vacant positions.

In 250 words or more answer the following questions: “How would you compare and contrast Maya Angelou, Malcolm X, and Black atheists’ views and values, particularly on topics like identity, language, country, race, religion, culture, and politics?

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner construction project began in earnest in the early 2000’s, with an initial completion date around 2008. However, the project was rife with problems, delays, issues, and mistakes related to logistics and planning. Use the Hunt Library to research related articles. Study the articles and complete a case study analysis. Begin with a summary overview outlining the main logistics issues facing Boeing as the Dreamliner project progressed. Then, add detail and analysis by responding to the following topics and questions.

• Assess the extent to which Boeing used modern technology to help control and manage the 787 project. Justify your answer with an appropriate example or illustration, and cite a reliable source to support your comments.

• Describe any quality methods used by Boeing during the 787 project. Evaluate the effectiveness of those methods if used.

• Identify the most valuable logistics lessons learned from the Boeing 787 construction experience, and suggest ways for present logistics managers to avoid making similar errors. Comment on why such management errors are made considering that best practices have been taught about logistics and project management for several decades. Why do you think well-educated professionals fall into ineffective practices leading to such cases as with Boeing?

Share with us a data representation that you completed recently. Post the actual visual so that your classmates are able to see your product.

You have to post the actual data representation or visual that you created. Your discussion will not be accepted without your data representation or visual.

graph, or visual you locate, be sure to answer the following questions:
