Week 6 Analysis

I have observed that CanGo is in the mists of making decisions on how to grow the company. They have found out that they cannot really fund all of the ideas they have for the growth. There was the suggestion to move employees around, or an IPO put in place or the company will never grow into anything bigger than what it is. They are focused on their competitions offerings and are worried they will be left behind if they don’t expand their offerings. Liz and Maria make a suggestion of moving employees down but are met with a debate that if they move the employees around it may cause problems in the long run. In part 2 of the video they decide to handle everything in-house, and begin talking of moving some of the warehouse to

Last but not least is profit. CanGo are in a profitable market with an immense scope of growth. Online reading, magazines, audio, and video

Employees you have to be visionary, motivating employees under you, by making clear to them

In order to successfully and effectively implement change all of the employees should have a good understanding of how the changes will benefit the organization, their positions, and how it might impact their routines. To many employees the implementation of change is not always properly communicated, and the process of change on paper as it is being implemented can be threatening as well as confusing. Also, the people behind the scenes making the changes may not have taken specific details into consideration regarding effective changes that perhaps the employees

CanGo is a successful company that wants to expand and ensure its continued success. In order to accomplish this task, Liz the CEO has hired Forward Progress to examine current management practices at CanGo and provide a report outlining deficiencies and resolutions. Forward

After reviewing weeks 5 and 6 video episodes, we the business consultants have found that CanGo still has some issues that must be corrected in order to operate and function effectively. We have carefully evaluated CanGo’s issues and will be introducing them as well as providing recommendations to make corrections to help improve the company’s problem areas. The first issue was the employee evaluations; very vague. Another that we have noticed is that CanGo is expanding too quickly, another issue that follows CanGo expanding too quickly is that they lack the financial capital to grow so quick. Since they are growing, they are relocating their staff into different positions

I hope all is going well for you on the beautiful day. I am sending this email to attempt to appeal for an opportunity to work the full twelve week program over the summer. I understand that there are many students who do not have the financial support to pay for the next year of room and board, and understand if I am denied.

41). A systematic approach should be used when implementing a strategic change. The first step of the process would be redesigning how the initiative is currently being administered. The process should include how employees can contribute to cost control and outline the desired performance outcomes. Employees would be coached by their direct supervisor and fellow team members to achieve the preset goals. Supervisors can assess current employees to gage their current performance and encourage improvement. In addition, leadership should recruit future employees based desired skills and replace those not meeting or not willing to align to the new desired behaviors. The final strategic step would be having system in place to measure the behaviors and reward them accordingly. The systematic framework will require strong leadership skills to ensure its

The planning process begins with a situation analysis of the external and internal forces affecting the organization.  This examination helps identify and diagnose issues and problems and may bring to the surface alternative goals and plans for the firm.  Next, the advantages and disadvantages of these goals and plans should be evaluated against one another.  Once a set of goals and a plan have been selected, implementation involves communicating the plan to employees, allocating resources, and making certain that other systems such as rewards and budgets are supporting the plan.  Finally, planning requires instituting control systems to monitor progress toward the goals.

This report is the consequence of the intensive examination to define with itemized recommendations for the CanGo Company. Elizabeth Bennett, who pursued

The president of Cold Moo Ice Cream Company, a chain of ice cream stores in the Midwest, was unhappy with the actual six-month profit figures for the company recently prepared by the CFO. The president asked the CFO for a profit breakdown, by store, of the actual six-month results. When the president received the report, he was extremely upset and called the CFO into his office. The president stated, "These reports show that each store in the chain is profitable, but our company results are unprofitable! How can this be?" The CFO pointed out that each store was allowed to set prices for ice cream based on its cost structure. However, the stores' cost structures did not include headquarters costs or the costs of advertising and delivery of products.

Up to this point, CanGo has managed to excel and establish a foothold in the online entertainment industry. In fact, CanGo has recently been recognized by the Hudson Valley Professional Business Association, affirming the fact that CanGo is a company on the rise rather than a small, independent start-up with no expectations. Unfortunately, CanGo has not embraced the concept of strategic planning, which lies out and determines the direction a company plans to take over the next several years. According to John E. Lawlor of Practical Decisions, strategic planning is important from both a macro perspective and a micro perspective. On a macro level, for instance, business (especially ecommerce) is conducted in the global marketplace. Aided by the Internet and rapid improvements in technology, more and more individuals from all over the world have access to the products and services provided by today’s businesses. From a micro point of view, meanwhile, strategic planning will inject a needed sense of purpose and direction to CanGo. With strategic planning, each individual in the organization –from the CEO to the most recent new staff member – will know what products you sell or services you provide, who your target customers are, and how you plan to compete for their attention (Lawlor, 2005). Strategic planning would also clearly define a set of realistic short-term and long-term goals for the company while communicating those goals clearly too each individual member of the

It is an indisputable fact that time is our greatest enemy, especially when we are trying to accomplish as much as possible in a short space of time. However, we are all human and we sometimes err or fail to meet deadlines due to unforeseen glitches. It is thus imperative that we stay ahead of the game while we are waiting for the feedback.

With any business there are certain things that need to be implemented to ensure balance and viability to be successful in the future. With CanGo, there is a vision of what they want to be and where they want to go for their future in the business world. They also have a sense of what they want as far as a good internal foundation that would help to carry these goals and visions to their upmost potential. CanGo is struggling with a few areas that will help them to be successful, these areas are, department communication, lack of structured financial analysis before starting a project, organization within the company, very little camaraderie and professionalism with the employees, as well as a lack of legal concern when it comes to actions within the company. If all these issues are not resolved

Respect the nuances of the game. You should at all times be in the relentless pursuit of improvement. There is always room for improvement on your roster, better decision making when deciding on free agents, developing superb negotiation skills and being a better salesman. Take time to identify your own weaknesses since we aren’t inherently good at every aspect of this game. Diagnose the problems and create a concrete plan to correct them, acknowledgement without action is a worthless practice. What parts of Fantasy Football don’t you do well? Do you still hold onto flawed methodologies that don’t have any correlation to increased winning percentages? Are you terrible at socializing with people? Do you come off as a condescending prick every time you open your mouth? Do you buy into the hype like a 1920’s stock broker? Whatever your issues are write them down and hang them up where they stare you in the face.
