MGMT 2100: The Role Of Mangers In Business

I will be contributing with the following team roles: Planter, Shaper, and Completer Finisher. Throughout our assignment this week, I will be interacting and brainstorming with my teammates to come up with solid plan of action, creating a superb project. As a Planter, I will (if not already) add my own creative suggestions that could overall enhance the project. Staying positive and motivating others is natural to me and will enable me to contribute in the Shaper role. My attention to detail will serve me well in the capacity as a Completer Finisher near the end of our project.

The selected project manager is Chris HE.He is an experienced Chinese project manager and has plenty of experience in project management.In this project, his job responsibility is to manage, arrange and communicate with all project-related staff and to provide updates on the progress of the project to the sponsor weekly.His project management team consists of four experts, which are IT experts and a security expert, a building architect expert and a supporting staff.Chris will coordinate all resource needs through IT managers.And he has the right to approve all project-related budget expenditures, including budgetary allocations, but any additional funds need to give the application to the project sponsor OPAIC.

My role was that of any team member; I was to contribute to the project with any ideas that I may have had. We all managed our schedules to set aside time to meet each other, and we all worked to get the project done without breaking it down into separate, equal, jobs, instead we worked as a collective.

As a team, we will be mutually accountable for the work produced; the members are interdependent of each other. We will build upon each other’s strengths and weakness to collectively complete the assignment. It was decided that certain tasks would be shared while other tasks would be divided into individual responsibilities. These individual tasks within a collective section would be rotated amongst the group members, sharing the roles. Frequent meetings to discuss, plan, problem solve, and make decisions were deemed to be essential to the team aspect of the project. Sharing not only direct information amongst team members, but also ideas, skills, and thoughts is critical to the communication of the

Our project was to identify the problem of lightening, active shooter scenario in college and to evaluate the solutions. Starting with myself, I played the role of creating an effective communication in a group. Since, everyone in our group had a busy schedule and most of us lived out of campus we decided to communicate more via text and emails. So, I collected the phone numbers and emails from each group individual and added everyone in group message. Latisha had an active role in keeping everyone informed about what stage we were in during the development of project. Dylan did a great job by identifying the places that were having insufficient lights around college and collected the pictures of it. Chris did a lot of research to identify the solutions for the problem. He also played a great role in developing our

This internship blossom my critical-thinking, problem solving and communications skills; even though, I had previous experience working with multi-cultural teams; this experience was complete different and exceed my expectations. During my internship I applied my lectures from the first semester to the end, all the lessons learned since 2014 until 2015. Being surrounding with colleagues from cultural backgrounds different from mine, such India, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vancouver, Toronto, Algeria or Egypt; it give me the opportunity to understand diverse leaderships, teams, behaviors, expectations and learn more about others cultures.

The project was managed mostly by myself and it was handled in a relaxed manner. One recommendation for improving the system would be to incorporate more helping hands. The project usually only included myself and one other person. On occasion it included more people, but not often. If there was more people involved in the project it would have be completed in more of a timely manner.

The work done in any organization and in any field is a combined effort of different people from diverse locations, towards our goal. Every individual is a key to the success of the organization of projects. The person working in a program is responsible for the processing and procurement. The behavior, their willingness to work and attitude towards the other team members is important. Every individual who comes from a different ethnic group needs to adjust and work for the success of the project and for the success of the overall company.

9. Identify who fulfils which roles in your project. Document them on the PID. Include a paragraph to show what each person does.

Our group consisted of x xxxxx, x xxxxx, x xxxx and myself. Our task, as team members, involved the application of the tools and techniques of multi-project/program management. As part of the process, we were to deal with the analysis and establishment of project management systems based on the structure of the project and organization. We were also expected to expend some effort to observe and analyze our own team’s group process and group dynamics, and within that scope address such areas as team member roles and responsibilities, delegation, decision making, leadership, conflict resolution, etc.

In order to develop international opportunities and collaborations one must recognize the effect that race can have on international collaborations. Individuals are often weary of interacting with other diverse individuals in fear of a cultural misunderstanding coming about. However, it is these misunderstandings that are needed to begin recognizing the other individuals’ culture, exhibit respect, and in turn start to develop cultural competence. These cultural misunderstanding are the seedbed for creating international collaborations, in being so, individuals must embrace them.

To begin there is the project manager role. This is the leader of the project. They need to make sure that the project will be completed by the deadline, within the budget, and has the anticipated value to the business. For our project Patrick shall fill this role. He shall make sure that everything is done and turned in on time. He will be the leader of the project, so he must keep everyone on track and make sure the system will bring the expected value to the organization.

Multicultural teams can be a team that has cultural differences, which has been merged together in order to exploit their knowledge, skills and experience for a particular project. A multicultural team can “lead to increased creativity and efficiency”.

Manager is anyone who responsible for the work of other people.
