Case Assignment

The CEO of your organization has asked you to write what you have learned so far so he can convince the Governing Board that you are more than worthy of the hefty consultant fees you are receiving.

You have paid me part of your fees to help you get started.

Given that, write a 4- 6 page comparison and contrast paper on your organization and at least one other similar organization within the industry.

This paper is designed to help you recognize similarities and differences between organizations, which will position you for the final pay from the CEO, and MBA 690's forthcoming modules and final Capstone assignment.

Below are some tips to enhance your paper: Provide no less than a ½ page and no more than a 1 page executive summary as the first page of your paper.

(Hint: your executive summary should guide the organization of the rest of your paper, e.g., XYZ company initial industry analysis to ABC company Provide tables and/or graphs in appendices to illustrate key comparisons in areas such as financials, major differences in personnel and key leader organizational structure, etc.

Resist internal biases and provide statements/facts supported by literature. For example, do not provide just positive input for your organization from your organizations' website.

Similarly, do not find only negative input from a critic of your 1 / 2 comparative organization. Cite your sources used within the text and provide the bibliography in APA style.

Note: Title/cover page, executive summary page, references page, and appendices are not included in the 4 - 6 page count If you do not turn in your Case Assignment before the deadline, points may be deducted from your score for tardiness.
