Leadership Development Plan This paper will allow you to examine your leadership skills and develop a plan for moving forward. • Analyze your current leadership skills based on what you have learned in this course • Identify your primary style of leadership • Identify 2 leadership theories/styles that would be beneficial to your current/future leadership role. • Summarize your understanding of both • Explain how you would apply both to make you a more effective leader • Illustrate 2 positive outcomes that you would expect to occur from each • Examine your results from the following assessments completed throughout the term: Authentic Leadership and Emotional Intelligence. • Summarize each area and identify 2 areas within each assessment you wish to further develop. • Identify how you will develop each over the next year and how it will make you a more effective leader • Illustrate 2 positive outcomes that you would expect to occur from each • Develop a personal leadership philosophy and support your ideas with material from this course and outside research. • Provide an example where your leadership philosophy can be applied to lead an organizational change • Your leadership philosophy does not have to be any specific leadership model we reviewed. Rather, it should represent your trajectory of leadership as it applies to your career aspirations. Consider your leadership style, personality, career path and the industry you work (or wish to work in) and determine which leadership skills will be most effective. • Submit a 5 to 6-page paper double spaced • Please provide at least six (6) scholarly references to support your paper. • All references should be used as in-text citations. • All work must be completed in APA format. • A title page and reference page must be included.

Cultural differences, while difficult to observe and measure, are obviously very important. Failure to appreciate and account for them can lead to embarrassing blunders, strain relationships, and drag down business performance. While some organizations are able to make cultural diversity a source of advantage, others do not. Identify a recent situation in the news in which an organization failed to take into account the various cultural norms of stakeholders. Be sure not to share the same issue as a classmate. What happened? Where did they fail and what would you recommend based on your readings, research, and Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions to repair the damage?

Choose a company to research. The company can be either a publicly-traded company or privately-owned, perhaps a company you are familiar with (but not your current employer). The key elements in choosing a good company for your case study are: 1) Is the company relatively easy to research? Is there plenty of available information on the inner-workings of the firm? 2) Is it a company you’re interested in and/or do you like their product or service? (This will make it more fun.) 3) Is the company newsworthy? (Perhaps they’ve had a stunning failure, legal issue or maybe they recently created a killer product everyone wants.) Once you have picked a company, post your company to the final case study paper discussion forum – week 4. No two students can pick the same company and approval will be given on a first come-first assigned basis. Note that for a large, multi-line or multi-product company, you may want to choose a single business line within the firm for your analysis. For example, with Apple, you would concentrate on their iPhone business only or with Google/Alphabet you would concentrate on just their driverless car project. You will find it much easier to focus your business analysis on one business line within a large diversified company. Your final case study paper should be 6-8 pages and will consist of 5 sections (each about 1.5-2.0 pages). The first section should be an overview of the company: • What does the company do? • What product or service does it offer? • Where is it located? • Who are its main competitors? • What is the market structure (e.g. pure competition, monopoly, oligopoly, etc.)? • How is it regulated? This first section should provide a background or base-line understanding of the company in support of the rest of the paper. For the remaining four sections, should include the following: • A demand analysis illustrating the most applicable terms, concepts, or ideas in Chapter 3 to include the following – consumer behavior (purchasing power and substitution effect), targeting, switching cost, positioning, price elasticity of demand (demand determinants), interpreting income and advertising elasticity. • A pricing analysis illustrating the most applicable terms, concepts, or ideas in Chapter 14 to include the following – value in use/value based pricing (product specifications, ease of use, service frequency, change order responsiveness, loyalty programs, and empathy in order processing), couponing, bundling, price discrimination, and price skimming versus full-cost pricing. • A “What they got wrong” analysis detailing a strategy mistake using the course concepts. • A “What they got right” analysis detailing a strategy win using the course concepts. If you are having trouble addressing or finding enough information for any of the sections above, you can augment your analysis by articulating what you think the company should do. For example, if you can’t find any information on your company’s value based pricing, explain how you would price the product or service and why. This is Organizational (managerial) Economics; make some decisions on behalf of your company and support them using concepts and ideas from the course!
