Principles of Management Phase II: Organizational Profile

Think about the company you would like to work for when you graduate—this will help you and your team select a company for the final team assignment. In the past, students have chosen businesses and organizations such as Accenture, Ernst and Young, Wells Fargo, Target, the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and Merck. It is recommended that you think local and companies you have access to. If you are considering starting your own business, choose a business that you particularly admire, and that you might use as a model for your own business. Another common aspiration is to be an attorney in a law firm. Although you may not have a specific firm in mind, think in terms of a prototype firm you can research—perhaps a firm that specializes in mergers and acquisitions in a large city or a criminal defense specialty firm. We want you to be interested and enjoy doing research on this company. It could be a stepping stone to your future.

Section One: Company Overview

The team should provide a brief overview of the company. We would like each team member to analyze one aspect of the organization. This paper should cover:

• Organization’s mission, vision and value statement
• Overview the company’s stakeholders
• Briefing of the company’s strategy and long-term goals
• Organization’s overall culture and structure(It is advised that each team member contribute to at least one of the aspects above—please label in your paper which portion you wrote)
• Section Two: Needed Skills/AbilitiesThe team will describe the skills and abilities likely desired by this company. Much of this information can be obtained directly from company websites, but can also be inferred from the strategy and structure of the organization.
• Given a particular business strategy:

• What kinds of skills and abilities will be most prized in this company?
• What is the company looking for when hiring new employees?
• Are there any specific competencies listed on the website or job descriptions?
• Section Three: Reference ListYour team will need to have at least 5 references that are cited in the body of the paper (using APA style guidelines) only one of these can be the textbook. You must back up your findings with reliable resources that will then be used towards your final interview.
• FOLLOW-UPNext you must reach out to the organization to see if you can contact a manager for your final project. The organization you select must have someone you can attain access to in order to conduct Phase III: Managerial Analysis. We suggest that you look at small businesses in the area that would allow your team to interview their manager. This portion of the assignment will help you research and determine the key benefits to working for this company. Please include the name of the manager you will interview in Phase III: Interview questions.
