Imagine you have been hired to develop an advertising campaign for a new fictional brand. Selecting a product category with which you are comfortable, identify a niche that is not being served by an existing brand. Next, develop a brand and product to fill the niche that you have identified. Once you have created a fictional brand, create both an advertising campaign and a theme for it. 1.

Analyze the likely target market and its expectations for the fictional brand. 3. Design a brand image for the campaign that fits the market niche on which the brand is focused. Develop a campaign theme to communicate that image to the target market. 4. Outline a sample advertisement in which you illustrate both the campaign theme and brand image. 5.

You’ll remember that the general project for this term involves creating an implementation plan for the new TUI learning management system, Desire2learn (D2L). You’ve already had the opportunity to review some project management software; now you’ll have the opportunity to begin to put together an actual plan using it.

For this module, you should go back over your entire project plan, and make any needed revisions consistent with the feedback that you’ve received on your plan through the first four modules. Refine your model, add any necessary steps, and make sure that the conclusion of your plan is a smoothly operating system with controls and maintenance built in.

Use your software to incorporate these steps into your project plan; allocate and distribute your resources as you think they will be needed. If you need to make specific assumptions about anything, don’t hesitate to do so as long as you keep a record of such assumptions and make them explicit in your write-up. Don’t hesitate to contact your professor if you have questions or want to clarify any particular points.

Finally, prepare a brief (2-3 page) report summarizing your activities regarding the previous two steps — action definition and plan design. Attach your plan report either as a component of the document (not counted against the page requirement). Be as personal and reflective as you can; remember, your aim is to describe what you learned from this process and how it might affect your behavior and your career

Please conclude your paper with a brief overall evaluation of your experience using planning software, and any suggestions you may have for improving the effectiveness of this assignment as a way of learning about project planning and implementation.

This Module’s Case is about the management of accountability. Specifically, it’s about the advice that we’re given by the literature and the practice wisdom about how we should maintain relationships with the project’s “stakeholders” and others to whom the project must report. One of the more systematic articles would be:

Barron, M. & Barron, A. (2011, April 5). Project stakeholders. The Project Management Hut. Retrieved from http://www.pmhut.com/project-stakeholders-2.

Consider also the use of various accountability maintenance processes:

In addition, the optional readings expand on many of the central points; you may also want to do some independent Internet-based research of your own to clarify any issues that concern you.

When you have read through the articles and related material, please compose a 4-6 page critical analysis paper, following the general point/counterpoint model described below, on the topic:

“Discuss and recommend how to maintain effective accountability in project management”

Your task is to assemble some propositions about how and when accountability for project operations and results can and should be determined. There is no shortage of advice, in these sources and elsewhere; some are likely to be better supported by the literature and the evidence than others. Obviously, as noted below, this will obligate you to actually be able to present such evidence in an academically respectable manner. You will need to consider what accountability is, to whom it is owed, what sorts of things projhect managers are accountable for, and the relative costs and benefits of various degrees of accountability.

Case Assignment Expectations
Your paper should be short (4-6 pages, not including cover sheet and references) and to the point. It is to be structured in the following manner.

You are expected to:

Begin this paper by stating your recommendations for accountability maintenance clearly and concisely
Citing appropriate sources, present the reasons why you take this position. Be sure to make the most effective case you can.
Then present the best evidence you can, again citing appropriate sources, against your position — that is, establish what counterarguments can be made to your original position.
Finally, review your original position in light of the counterarguments, showing how they are inadequate to rebut your original statement.
By the end of your paper, you should be able to unequivocally re-affirm your original position.

You will be particularly assessed on:

Your ability to see what the module is all about and to structure your paper accordingly.
Your informed commentary and analysis — simply repeating what your sources say does not constitute an adequate paper.
Your ability to apply the professional language and terminology of communications and information systems correctly and in context; you are expected to be familiar with this language and use it appropriately.
Your effective and appropriate use of in-text citations to the assigned readings and other source material to support your arguments. Refer to the Purdue University APA formatting and style guide (see required readings) for the proper formats.

Assignment:

Examine the structure and activities in FORD MOTOR COMPANY and identify two projects or events that required an investment. One should be a ‘current project’ and the other long-term investment project.

For each project or event, identify the preferable source of funding. You may not have access to the actual source of funding so limit your paper to the source YOU feel is most appropriate. Then explain why you feel that source is most appropriate.

Assignment:

American Superconductor

As you know from reading through the background materials, the decision to use debt or equity to raise money is not a decision taken lightly by management. So when several years ago, in 2003 American Superconductor decided to raise funds through equity it was definitely a major decision that required intense discussions at the highest levels of management.

Read the article below about American Superconductor and do some of your own research using the CyberLibrary and internet search engines. You can also take a look at the official American Superconductor webpage.

Assignment Expectations:

After doing your research, apply what you learned from the background materials and write a three to five page paper answering the following questions:

What are the advantages and disadvantages for AMSC to forgo their debt financing and take on equity financing? Do you agree with their decision? How can a company’s cost of equity be determined? Is there a tax deduction from the use of debt financing? Please explain.

Explain both of your answers thoroughly. Be sure to support your opinions on these assignment questions with references to the background materials or to other articles in your paper.

Read the article below available in Proquest:

American Superconductor switch ; Westboro company plans to raise money through a stock offering, Andi Esposito. Telegram & Gazette. Worcester, Mass.: Aug 26, 2003. pg. E.1

Abstract (Article Summary)

“AMSC’s management and board of directors believe the decision to forgo a secured debt financing and to adopt an equity financing strategy under current market conditions is in the best interests of our shareholders,” said Gregory J. Yurek, chief executive officer of AMSC. The 265-employee company has operations in Westboro and Devens and in Wisconsin.

Finally, the Northeast blackout “shined a lot of light on the problems we have been talking about as a company for three to four years,” Mr. Yurek said. AMSC products, such as a system installed this year in the aging Connecticut grid and high temperature superconductor power cables and other devices bought by China for its grid, are designed to improve the cost, efficiency and reliability of systems that generate, deliver and use electric power. “We are a company with products out there solving problems today,” he said.
