In assembling a highly effective Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) for the scoping process and analysis of the bridge project, each professional plays a critical role in ensuring its success. The Land Surveyor, with a Bachelor's degree in Land Surveying, a Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) license, and expertise in surveying tools, stands as a cornerstone. Their ability to meticulously assess topography is pivotal for the
bridge's accurate planning, ensuring alignment with the natural landscape, minimizing environmental impact, and contributing significantly to the project's overall safety and stability.
The Civil Engineer, holding a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, a Professional Engineer (PE) license, and extensive experience in structural design and construction management, assumes a central role. They guarantee the structural integrity and safety of the bridge, streamlining the execution phase, minimizing delays, and ensuring compliance with engineering standards and regulations. Their expertise is instrumental in delivering a bridge that meets the highest safety standards.
The Environmental Engineer, equipped with a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering, specialization in environmental impact assessment, and profound knowledge of environmental regulations, addresses the project's sustainability. Their role is indispensable in evaluating and mitigating environmental impacts, ensuring compliance with regulations, and promoting eco-friendly practices that align with modern environmental standards.
Financial oversight and fiscal responsibility are entrusted to the Accountant, who boasts a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designation and experience in financial management for construction projects. Their meticulous budgeting and financial reporting contribute to transparent financial practices, optimizing resource allocation, and maintaining adherence to budget constraints, ensuring the project's financial success.
Handling project billing, invoicing, and financial transactions, the Billing Specialist, with experience in construction projects, attention to detail, and familiarity with invoicing systems, ensures streamlined financial processes. Their efficiency contributes significantly to overall project management effectiveness and maintains billing compliance for positive relationships with contractors and suppliers.
At the helm of the project, the Project Manager, with a proven track record in project management, strong leadership, coordination skills, and excellent communication, ensures effective collaboration. Their leadership minimizes bottlenecks, contributes to on-time and within-budget project delivery, and fosters a collaborative and efficient working environment, critical for the bridge's successful execution.

Question - Identify and analyse the main project scope and time management issues at Macon, Inc.
CASE STUDY Macon was a fifty-year-old company in the business of developing test equipment for the tyre industry.The company had a history of segregated departments with very focused functional line managers. Thecompany had two major technical departments: mechanical engineering and electrical engineering. Bothdepartments reported to a vice president for engineering, whose background was always mechanicalengineering. For this reason, the company focused all projects from a mechanical engineeringperspective. The significance of the test equipment’s electrical control system was often minimized when,in reality, the electrical control systems were what made Macon’s equipment outperform that of thecompetition.Because of the strong autonomy of the departments, internal competition existed. Line managers werefrequently competing with one another rather than focusing on the best interest of…

Assignment Case 1:
In the past, the decision criteria for mergers and acquisitions were typically based on considerations such as the strategic fit of the merged organizations, financial criteria, and operational criteria. Mergers and acquisitions were often conducted without much regard for the human resource issues that would be faced when the organizations were joined. As a result, several undesirable effects on the organizations’ human resources commonly occurred. Nonetheless, competitive conditions favor mergers and acquisitions and they remain a frequent occurrence. Examples of mergers among some of the largest companies include the following: Honeywell and Allied Signal, British Petroleum and Amoco, Exxon and Mobil, Lockheed and Martin, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, SBC and Pacific Telesis, America Online and Time Warner, Burlington Northern and Santa Fe, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, Daimler-Benz and Chrysler, Ford and Volvo, and Bank of America and Nations Bank.
