How should the organisation ensure that it creates and captures value from the innovation?

/in /by

Assessment Context Generally, innovation initiatives within a parentorganisation are driven by an innovation strategy. An innovation strategy is a subset of an organisation’s overall strategy. The innovation strategy describes the future development an organisation’s innovation capabilities and the future direction of its innovation activities. An organisation’s innovation strategy does not exist in a vacuum, it responds to a specific set of circumstances including innovation trends and provides an important context; direction; guidance; monitoring and facilitation of an organisation’s innovation initiatives. Thus, organisations take care to diagnose the organisation’s circumstances including innovation trends to inform the design and development of its innovation strategy. Select one of the following organisations impacted by the advances of ‘design thinking’ or ‘lean start-up’ social technology: · Firm: o Tesla (Motor Company) Select one of the following innovation trends: · Design thinking (Liedtka, 2018; Liedtka & Ogilvie, 2011). Ideally, your selected innovation trend is important to the selected firm or organisation as that makes the innovation strategy report important to its senior executives, the report interesting to read and the report writing exciting. Assessment Tasks You are required to write a 2000 word innovation strategy report to the board of your selected organisation. Your innovation strategy report must: 1. Select a business impacted by the advances of ‘design thinking’ movement as described in the paper by Liedtka (2018) or impacted by the advances of ‘lean startup’ movement as described in the paper by Blank (2013). 2. Succinctly introduce the selected organisation and selected innovation trend. 3. Succinctly define the following concepts and their relationships: the organisational environment, innovation trend, innovation strategy, innovation capabilities, innovation value creation and capture. 4. Succinctly describe how the creation of an innovation strategy ensures strategic alignment within organisations and why it is important. 5. Analyse the impact of the selected innovation trend on the selected organisation. You should apply at least one strategy tool to analyse the impact, opportunities and threats to the organisation. Use the business model canvas by Osterwalder and Pigneur (2010) to support your analysis and argumentation. 6. Recommend how the organisation’s innovation strategy best responds to the innovation trend by answering the following questions. · How should the organisation organise its innovation activities? · What additional innovation capabilities should the organisation develop? · What innovation initiatives should it pursue? · How should the organisation ensure that it creates and captures value from the innovation? 7. Recommend how the organisation best ensures strategic alignment to address the innovation trend. Assessment Criteria Your report will be assessed according to the following criteria. Your report must demonstrate: 1. Thorough understanding of relevant innovation management concepts, principles, theories, tools and models in regards to the assessment tasks. 60% 2. Appropriate and well structured, concise and clear expression of innovation management arguments. 10% 3. Clear flow of thought throughout the report with a clear and succinct purpose described in the introduction and a clear and succinct conclusion. 10% 4. Critical review skills and integration of relevant academic and profession literature. A minimum of five (5) academic journals must be used. 10% 5. Appropriate in text referencing and reference list. Adherence to CQUniversity APA Reference Style. 5% 6. Clarity of expression, grammar and spelling. Appropriate report format within (±10%) of the word limit: 2000 words. 5%

Discuss this with respect to the effects of suggestibility that Myers writes about in Chapter 6. Be specific as to what aspects of suggestibility apply to the case.

1. TCO 5. There has been a bumper crop of politicians who have been revealed to be less than upstanding citizens. John Edwards, a former senator who was in the running for the 2008 presidential nomination, and who said family values were at his core, was revealed to have had an affair with a campaign worker, at the same time his wife was battling cancer. Similarly, New York governor Eliot Spitzer, a married, moralizing crusader for laws against sexual tourism, was caught in an escort service “sting”, and forced to resign. These are only two of several recent examples of politicians who have celebrity status, and flaunted the social norms of decency.

Apply the course concepts of the dark side of self-esteem and moral hypocrisy to this type of behavior. What do you conclude about people who behave in such a way? Hint: Explicitly use each concept by name and also give a one sentence definition of it before explaining how the concepts apply to these people.

Question 2. 2. TCO 6.  The Beltway sniper attacks in the Washington D.C. area, in 2002, completely transfixed American consciousness for the three weeks in October, when a pair of armed killers roamed through the Capital region, ambushing and killing 10 people, and wounding three others. As time progressed and law enforcement officials were having little luck in solving the case, tensions and apprehensiveness spread far beyond the area where the killings were concentrated. Even though there was never any hard evidence that the killers were headed in their direction, the citizens of towns and cities a hundred miles away were terrorized by the notion that the killers were about to show up in their communities.

Discuss this with respect to the effects of suggestibility that Myers writes about in Chapter 6. Be specific as to what aspects of suggestibility apply to the case.

Question 3. 3. TCO’s 4 and 12. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Cuban Taekwondo athlete Angel Matos fell to the mat, after being hit by his opponent. He became incensed at the referee, who disqualified him for exceeding the one-minute time-out allowed for an injury. Matos angrily disputed the call, physically pushing a judge and then pushing and kicking the referee in the face. He spat on the mat and was escorted out by officials. The World Taekwondo Federation immediately banned Matos for life, and the IOC took away his bronze medal.

This is a two part question:

a. What is it about the fundamental nature and structure of the Olympics that helps explain why this situation occurred?

b. This example contains evidence of both hostile aggression and instrumental aggression. Which part of the example involves hostile aggression, and which part of the example involves instrumental aggression? Explain your reasoning.

Question 3. 3. TCO 13. By definition, militant animal rights groups, like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), are socially deviant because they use bombings, arson, and poisoning to get their messages to get attention in the media. PETA has done major damage to retail outlets, laboratories, and clinics while innocent people have come close to being killed by PETA’s activities. Other groups have behaved similarly in the past, and the technique seems to have been successful. Even so, PETA has a large following of supporters from all the media attention, who by their support, are encouraging the organization to continue its aggression. What theory or concept of aggression, in the textbook, corresponds to the argument that PETA continues its anti-social ways, because it gets attention and support for their cause, and reflects an imitation of observed behaviors of other people?

Week 7: Cognitive and Behavioral Applications

 

Introduction

As you think about the essential components of cognitive and behavioral theories, what clients do you envision as best suited for these approaches? If you were a client in one of the videos you have explored thus far, how might you react to behavioral or cognitive interventions? On the other hand, if you were the counselor in one of the videos, how comfortable would you be employing a cognitive or behavioral approach?

In previous Application weeks, you have had the opportunity to observe humanistic, existential, and psychoanalytic theories in action. This week you increase your acumen in cognitive and behavioral theory (CBT) applications by watching media demonstrations of CBT counselors. Remember that all media pieces are 90–120 minutes in length. Be sure to select your media piece early in the week and plan your time accordingly.

Objectives

Students will:

·         Analyze theoretical approaches in counseling sessions

·         Evaluate the effectiveness of counselors’ theoretical approach

·         Analyze cognitive and behavioral theories

·         Evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive and behavioral theoretical approaches in working with a specific client population

Please proceed to the Resources.

Week 7 Discussion

 

Theory in Action: Cognitive and Behavioral Approaches

Have you ever heard the term “positive addiction”? In general, this term is used to describe the act of replacing a negative addiction, like smoking, with a positive activity, like exercising. Both smoking and exercising can be perceived as a means to reduce stress; however the act of exercising is clearly the healthier option of the two. William Glasser, the founder of reality therapy was the first to introduce this term. Glasser believed that these positive addictions can increase the strength and motivation that people feel in their lives.

Have you ever stood on a crowded elevator and considered singing a song? Did you know that this could actually be an intervention used by a cognitive-behavioral counselor called a shame-attacking exercise? In shame-attacking exercises, clients engage in an activity that others around them might disapprove of, thus causing shame to the client. Experiencing the brief discomfort caused by these actions is thought to decrease feelings of social anxiety and self-consciousness.

For this week’s Discussion, you consider which theoretical approach most resonates with you: reality therapy or a generalized CBT approach. You then watch the media piece that translates this theory into practice. Specifically, you examine how the counselor depicted in the media used your selected theoretical approach to guide his or her interventions.

Note: When crafting your Discussion post, support your ideas by providing references to specific examples from the video. In addition, cite the video frame (e.g., 8.32 minutes) that the action or intervention occurred. You do not need to summarize the demonstration itself, as your Instructor and many of your colleagues have also viewed it. Instead, provide insight into the interventions used and major constructs of the theory.

Post by Day 3 a brief description of the video you selected and the theoretical approach used. Explain how this theory resonates with you. Then, describe the counselor’s specific interventions that would indicate his/her theoretical approach and explain how effectively the counselor demonstrated the approach. Finally, share one insight you gained from watching the counselor in the media.

Week 8: Family, Feminist, and Transpersonal Theories

 

 

 

Introduction

 

Humans naturally view the world through their own eyes. Their opinions, assumptions, and reactions hinge on how they personally perceive situations. In fact, it can be argued that humans are fairly self-obsessed. As a counselor, it is imperative to be cognizant of this natural tendency, and take strides to view the world through the eyes of others.

Postmodernism, a theoretical approach that is largely influenced by counselors’ ability to think like their clients, prompts counselors to enter their clients’ realities. From this vantage point, counselors can use the narratives of their clients to travel through perceptions of problems and life events. Side-by-side in this reality, counselors can work with clients to restructure their life-stories.

 

As a counselor, role-playing is one of the first activities in which you can engage to place yourself in clients’ reality. Role-playing allows you to experience the mixture of feelings that clients may experience when in the counseling environment. This week, you use the media to role-play three first-time visits with counselors from different postmodern theoretical approaches.

 

Objectives

 

Students will:

 

·         Evaluate effectiveness of postmodern theories

 

·         Apply knowledge of postmodern theories

Postmodern Theories Program Transcript

 

 

 

Postmodern Theories Program Transcript Instructions: Watch the following introductions by the various counselors.

 

Post by Day 3 an explanation of which approach might be most effective and explain why. Then explain how this particular approach may help a client to achieve his or her goals. Finally, explain what it felt like to sit in the client’s seat.

 

Family Theory Counselor:

 

Hello, I’m Bob. It’s nice to meet you.

 

I’m a National Certified Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor in my state.

 

In my work with clients, I use a family therapy approach. Often when one individual in a family has a problem, it’s related to a problem in the family.

 

As we talk today, I may suggest that in the future you come in with your partner or your entire family to determine if there is a stressor that is not only affecting you but the entire family.

 

For example, sometimes if a couple is having marriage problems, one of the children begins misbehaving to take the focus off of the parents. The parents focus on the child which leads to a break in the arguments.

 

This is called triangulation. I usually ask my clients to develop a genogram or eco-map to help us better understand family development and how families interact with their communities.

 

If you like, I can tell you more about my specific family theory; however, what’s important to know now is that as a family counselor, I can work with individuals, couples, and/or families, although I generally work with couples or families.

 

Feminist Theory Counselor:

 

Hello, I’m Sue. It’s nice to meet you.

 

I’m a National Certified Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor in my state.

 

In my work with clients, I use a feminist theory approach.

 

You might think that means that I only work with women, but that’s actually not true. I work with both men and women; in fact, there are a few male counselors at my center who also integrate a feminist theory approach into their work with their clients.

 

As a feminist counselor, I’ll consider myself to be a partner with you in reaching your goals. I want to understand your experiences and views and the environment in which you have lived. I’ll be less interested in diagnosing you than in working with you to determine how you have been affected by any type of oppression or marginalization. I draw from a variety of approaches, depending on what works best for you.

 

For example, I’ve found bibliotherapy and assertiveness training to be helpful for many clients. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me at any time.

 

Transpersonal Theory Counselor

 

Hello, I’m Cynthia. It’s nice to meet you.

 

I’m a National Certified Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor in my state.

 

In my work with clients, I use a transpersonal approach.

 

With a transpersonal approach, I want to work with you to help you overcome your difficulties so that you can ultimately focus on your spiritual development.

 

I draw from a variety of both Eastern and Western approaches in helping my clients overcome difficulties that may affect their potential.

 

For example, many of my clients have found meditation, mindfulness, yoga, and cognitive-behavioral interventions to be helpful for coping with anxiety which can ultimately block spiritual development.

 

Those are just a few examples of how I integrate a variety of approaches in my work with clients.

 

The main difference you’ll find in working with me compared to other counselors is that I believe there are stages of development beyond the ego.

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                             Week 8 Discussion

 

 

 

Applying Family, Feminist, and Transpersonal Theories

 

Reflect upon two personal or professional goals you might like to achieve. If you were to visit a counselor with these goals in mind, which theoretical approach might help you to achieve them? In addition, what type of counseling style might you connect with the most?

 

In this Discussion you use the media, Postmodern Theories, to seek the help of three counselors. As you listen to each counselor’s theoretical approach, consider how each might be the most effective in addressing your unique goals. In addition, take note of the emotions that you feel while you virtually sit in the client’s seat.

 

Note: This post does not require you to share any personal information about yourself. Though you should use personal or professional goals to assist you in selecting a theoretical orientation, you may present the ideas of your posting in a more general format.

 

Post by Day 3 an explanation of which approach might be most effective and explain why. Then, explain how this particular approach may help a client to achieve his or her goals. Finally, explain what it felt like to sit in the client’s seat.
