1.  The amount of information can sometimes hamper the outcome expected by the end user. In other words, clutter can hinder the intended message. One example of clutter (or too much information) is prescription-drug packaging. Explain why it is important for ergonomics professionals to understand the concept of clutter or “too much information”.

Your response should be at least a 200-word essay.

2.  Communication is a key factor to successfully completing a task, especially if others are involved in the task completion. In an essay, discuss the items that can go wrong with a communication system. Discuss the elements of a communication system and what the ultimate impact might be due to some sort of failure.

Your response must be at least 200 words in length.

3.  Continuing to draw upon our examples highlighted in Unit I, Beth continues to develop headaches while at work. Remember, she is an administrative assistant and works in a new office building, which has produced significant odors relating to the combination of construction materials. And this is the presumed source of the headaches. Because this has become a workers compensation issue, you are asked to look into the employee’s setup for her work station. Discuss this situation using both the feedback mechanisms and also the controlling mechanisms as they pertain to Beth’s individual circumstance.

Your response should be at least 200 words.

4.  Beth, the administrative assistant, continues to have headaches. Using the ideas of positive feedback loops and negative feedback loops (control processes), comment on what Beth could do to relieve these headaches. The treatment options could include medications and how the employee responds to those, adjustment of the lighting within the work site, sound, smell, etc. Also comment on non-medicinal therapies that might be available for this employee.

Identify and describe your management style in an interpretative report, using the CVF conceptual framework (Quinn et al. 2015).

/in /by

Rationale

An essential element of management is self improvement, leading to what Quinn et al. (2015) define as Mastery. To achieve this requires recognising your own managerial strengths and weaknesses. Assessment 1 highlights your current managerial type/style, providing a benchmark as you move towards management ‘mastery’.

Your task

Identify and describe your management style in an interpretative report, using the CVF conceptual framework (Quinn et al. 2015). The steps involved let you situate yourself within the parameters of management mastery and draw out aspects of your style which are evident from the following exercise.

Instructions

Read the Introduction and Conclusion sections of the text (Quinn et al. 2015)

· Complete the Competing Values Framework (Quinn et al. 2011) survey. To complete the CVF access the following URL: http://www.wiley.com/college/quinn/047136178X/survey/mgmt_prc.htm and work through the instructions below

· Complete the 36-statement Competing Values Management Practices Survey

· Then press ‘show result’ – where your scores are plotted on the CVF wheel

· Reflection: Look at the shape of your ‘spiderweb’ – focusing on the Quadrants, rather than each specific ‘role’

· Save a copy for review, discussion and presentation with your interpretative report.

Interpret your findings, identifying strengths and weaknesses as a tourism and hospitality manager. Look for areas of prominence. Make reference to the wider literature and to the Introduction and Conclusion sections from the Quinn et al. (2015) text. For example, are the four quadrants equal in your spiderweb? Are you already in balance? What does this mean for management mastery according to Quinn et al. (2015)? Are there obvious areas of strength and opposing weakness? What are these areas? Why might this be so?

Compile these findings into an interpretative report on your management style, explaining elements you see in your CVF ‘spiderweb’. Be sure to include context in this interpretation. That means you should anchor the interpretation in discussions of your actual work and potential role as a ‘manager’ or reference to other managers you might know. This will help explain ‘what’ and ‘why’ the spiderweb reflects what it does about you as a manager.

Marking Criteria

· Completion of the CVF Survey.

· Identification of practical evidence and discussion.

· Application of evidence to the role of a manager and to management in a tourism and hospitality context.

· Application of evidence to the elements of the CVF.

· Presentation
