Assessment Details:
Assessment 1: Case-Based Assignment (2,000 words- 60%)
Background of the Case
United States Cellular Corporation is a regional carrier which owns and operates the fifth-largest wireless telecommunications network in the United States, serving 4.76 million customers in 426 markets in 23 U.S. states as of the fourth quarter of 2014. The company has its headquarters in Chicago, Illinois.
During 2008, each corporate user of email sent or received more than 150 messages per day. Estimates suggested that by 2011, the number would be over 225. Another study found that one third of email users feel stressed by heavy email volume. Once imagined to be a time saver, has the inbox become a burden? U.S. Cellular’s CEO Jay Ellison thought so and did something about it. He composed a “No email Thursday” Rule, a move that a growing number of companies are taking. Although most bans typically allow emailing clients and customers or responding to urgent matters, the intent is to slow down the routine internal emails that take up time and clog the system. The limits also aim to encourage more face-to-face and phone contact with coworkers and customers. Ellison also hoped that the ban would give his employees a small break from the email onslaught (attack). What he got, however, was a rebellion. One employee confronted him, saying that Ellison didn’t understand how much work had to get done and how much easier it was when using email Jay Ellison understands the importance and the drawbacks of communication. Communication between managers and employees is important because it provides the information necessary to get work done in organisations. Thus, there’s no doubt that communication is fundamentally linked to managerial and employee performance. Should the ban stay or go? Put yourself in Ellison’s position.
Assessment Requirements:
1. If you are the CEO, describe the change made at U.S. Cellular Corporation. Critically analyse the type of change that has challenged the CEO.

MARKET COMPETITION IN MEDICAL CARE

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
1). What are the different cost containment strategies used by managed care firms?
SAMPLE ANSWER FOR QUESTION 1. DO NOT COPY
The least restrictive HMO plan is the fee for service plan (FFS). This plan allows consumers the opportunity to select any physician they want, including specialists, and makes the consumer accountable for deductibles and out of pocket fees to the maximum per year out of pocket expense. Elective hospital stays and outpatient services require pre-authorization. Cost containment strategy: The consumer is responsible for saving money by decreasing un-necessary and elective visits that they are financially responsible for. To off set the expense of self-referred care the consumer is charged higher premiums for FFS.
More restrictive is the preferred provider organization (PPO) plan. Providers are selected if they agree to provide service at a discounted fee. The provider must also be considered to be an appropriate user of medical services to qualify. When the consumer selects a member of the PPO for care the deductible for the service requested is less expensive. Going outside the PPO will cost the consumer more for the same service. Cost containment strategy: Lower payment to providers for most used services. The consumer is penalized by going outside the PPO network so will make every effort to seek care using a PPO provider.
HMO models are the most restrictive. Consumers are not permitted to go outside the care organization for services. To be fully covered at reduced co-pay the consumer must use the care organization contracted by the HMO. Cost containment strategy: There is no negotiating fee for service paid to the provider. The provider is incentivised and paid a bonus for reduced use of services. The consumer is encouraged to remain within the HMO for care or become personally liable for charges incurred outside the HMO.
2). How do fee for service and capitation systems affect the physician’s role as the patient agent?
3). Why are hospitals able to charge different purchasers different prices for the same medical services?

The Case: Mastering the Strategic Plan….Priceless
When MasterCard became a public corporation in May 2008, the momentous occasion signified the start of a new way of doing things for the company’s 4,600 employees around the world. Company executives wanted to ensure that every employee understood what such a change meant and how MasterCard would be different after the initial public offering (IPO). To do that, they decided to hold the “largest single learning event in the company’s history.”
This learning event, dubbed the Road Map to the Future, was to be a series of intensive, 4.5-hour seminars conducted in 110 workshops in 36 cities over a three week time frame. Rebecca Ray, the company’s senior vice-president for global learning, was put in charge of the event. She recognised that pulling it off effectively and efficiently would require some serious and detailed strategic planning. Dozens of company human resources (HR) specialists and hundreds of local managers around the world would be serving as trainers and facilitators. They would be the ones face-to-face with employees, teaching them about what being a publicly traded company meant and what changes they could expect. Preparing these individuals for such important tasks would require significant planning. The goal of the training was to ensure that every employee understood the business strategy and how MasterCard would be different after the IPO.
The training program was to be anchored by three “learning Maps” or topics. The first called, “Universal Opportunity,” would describe the company’s competitive landscape and industry challenges/opportunities. The second, titled, “How We Make Money,” was to focus to MasterCard’s financial models and how it fits into the industry. The final one, titled, “ New Climate, New Culture, New Company,” would be very detailed about the about the company’s strategy as a public company and what it would take to successfully pursue that strategy.
Assignment tasks:
1. Critically evaluate the key process of strategic management applied by MasterCard;
2. Analyze which theories and perspectives of corporate strategies used by MasterCard and appraise them appropriately based on the industry’s anticipated growth rate;
3. Explain what important strategic plan would be needed to actually hold the event (short term, long term or both). Demonstrate the ability to communicate and apply appropriate problem solving techniques
