Today’s market demands organizations to have a strategic plan. The purpose of the strategic plan describes where the organization wants their organization to go. A strategic plan is a document used to communicate goals, and the actions needed to achieve those goals. In order to remain competitive every organization needs to innovate to stay ahead of the competition. They need to develop new products and services with increasing frequency. The design of these new products and services must meet, or exceed, customer expectations and at the same time, they must generate an acceptable financial return for the organization. However, any business that does not realize the importance of developing new products will not last very long as a consequence

Project management is much more than creating a work breakdown structure and tracking a plan. The hardest part for many is the personal side of project management. In this paper, we will explore how the organizational culture of a company and basic human behavior influence the success or failure of projects.

In project management, there are many methods to handle how the project should be completed, how an ethical situation should be handled, what types of decisions should be made. Furthermore, how much knowledge the project manager should possess, their focus of completing the job on budget and schedule, and understand the scope, as well as, knowing how to communicate.

Forming the priorities for the project considers the three project measurement elements: cost, scope, and time. By determining with the customer which one of these elements are the priority over the others, the project manager can determine which element can be the constraint, which one can be enhanced, and which element to accept. This can affect the quality of the project if time, cost, or scope is the priority. With this project, we do know that the cost of the project cannot exceed a budget of $1.2 million. Therefore the cost is a constraint – no flexibility in this area. Time could be accepted, meaning that the date for the conference could be in twenty or twenty one month – not an exact date. Performance or scope of the project can be enhanced with the flexibility of the projects that the individual teams undertake before the conference. In fact, the service at the venue could be of elegant quality or simply good food. The scope of this project could be enhanced.

Even though the price would be lowered because of the bad weather as per the tying in price and weather policy, not everyone would still want to go away. Either it needs to be explained clearly on the website that undesirable weather will not entitle any customer to a refund or to change or cancel their booking without penalty; or the policy must be clear in whatever the company decides is fair. For example, it may state that if the weather is unpleasant can change (but not cancel) the booking to another time.

• Find out whether the return of goods that have been shipped due to goods that are not sold or goods that have been damaged / defective. • Knowing how the value of goods that have been sent or received, including the cost of loading the goods into the warehouse and other additional costs. The system consists of several subsystems that have different functions based on the intended use of data, among others: Delivery In this subsystem can be used to schedule delivery of the goods, to confirm the delivery of goods, to allocate trucks used for delivery of goods, to know the status of the delivery of goods and to determine whether there is a delayed delivery or delay in delivery of goods.

Since we had already developed a strong market stance in the US and Asia, we focused on Europe, which had significant demand for technology 4. Even though technology 3 was growing in the Asian market, we never put technology 3 into production, as our firm was not willing to lose potential sales from technology 1 and technology 2, two market-leading products. As a result, our $200,000 investment in technology 3 proved to be an unnecessary expenditure.

Innovative companies can use technology Management as a set of guidelines or disciplines to allow their organizations to create a competitive advantage. (Burgelman 3). The technology the organization uses for creating a competitive advantage include knowledge, products, tools, methods, and processes used to create goods or provide services. (Christensen 45). Innovations are often viewed as disruptive and risky but a company has several marketable ways to innovate safely without over estimating or under estimating the market 's needs. (Narayanan 93).
