“Improving Operational Management at Ashley Stewart: A Comprehensive Analysis and Recommendations”
The term paper is a comprehensive semester-long project. Students will complete this project in the steps described below. Your final paper is your major contribution, where you will exhibit your learning. Students will individually select an organization, assess its managerial effectiveness, and make recommendations to improve its operations management plans and results through the approaches, principles, and methods learned in the class. You are free to choose an organization that you are familiar with, including an organization you have already started or worked for.
This project will incorporate important concepts and frameworks introduced throughout the course and will demonstrate the student’s ability to understand and properly apply these concepts in real-life contexts.
Parameters and guidelines for the term paper are as follows:
Select an organization, e.g., a corporation, company, firm, or association (ideally, an organization that you have some interest in) for an in-depth analysis of their operational management practices.
The term paper should be at least 2,000 words with at least 5 scholarly references in addition to your e-text for a minimum of 5 total references. Please keep in mind that the word count requirements point out the minimum amount of effort that should be put into the paper. Word count isn’t everything because the quality of writing and research matters as well, but it is an indication of the quantity of effort put into the assignment. Note that word count does not include title, abstract, or reference pages. Not following this requirement will significantly impact the grade.
It is acceptable to use a company website for research, say for example if you are researching Apple, it’s ok to use www.apple.com to describe its mission, strategy, financials, etc.
The Term Paper should be well organized and encompass the above subject and content guidelines, and an electronic copy of the project should be submitted via Turnitin.
The Term Paper will consist of four major sections:
Background and Context: Discuss the type of industry, products/services, and how organizational vision and strategies have influenced their operations management.
Analysis of current operations management practices used by your company. You should discuss key terms and principles learned in class and how they relate to the status and future goals of the company.
Your recommendations for improvement and sustainability for the next 1-2 years for your company with regards to operations management. Ensure that these align with the organization’s vision and values.
References – Use at least 5 scholarly references in addition to your e-text for a minimum of 6 total references.

“The Impact of Shared Values in Effective Leadership”
Response to HS
The following are my most important values I seek to model as a leader. These are listed in order of importance to me, the first one list is the most important.
Communication, accountability, relationships, teamwork, honesty, challenge, determination
Impact of Leadership Values, A Good Leader
Someone I currently work with and have worked with for the past 5 years is who I would pick as a good leader. Jason is by far one the most passionate leaders and mentors I have worked with that has made the biggest impact in my professional career. He is extremely committed to his team and challenges us every day. He is extremely innovated and determined to make a difference. He is great at building relationships and has been a great role model on how important relationships are in our everyday work.
The values they ‘Modeled the Way’ included:
Teamwork, communication, innovation, relationships, honesty, challenge, determination
I believe our values are very much aligned with each other almost very similar too. I believe because my leader, who is also my direct boss, and myself have very aligned values has helped to me to perform at such a high level and be very successful. We work extremely well together and challenge each other. We respect each other, but will also be very honest with each other when something is not going well or needs to be challenged. Having a leader and boss that respects me has also allowed me to not be afraid to speak up with I want to challenge something. Our teamwork and determination really do complement each other.
