BUS 475 University of Phoenix Wk 3 Apple Management Balanced Scorecard Paper Business Finance Assignment Help

**this is a follow up assingment from Module 2, Module 3 and Module 4 course projects***

Purpose of Assignment:

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the appropriate format of developing and completing the Introduction, Literature Review and Methods section of a research proposal that would be submitted to an Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Instructions:
In this assignment, you will compile the previously completed parts of the research proposal, the Introduction, the Literature Review, and the Methods sections. Address any instructor feedback and complete and submit the Introduction, Literature Review and Methods section as the Final Project. If this were a real research proposal, this would be submitted directly to the IRB.

Format:

• Cover sheet (1 page)
• Introduction (2 pages)
• Literature Review (2 to 3 pages)
• Methods Section (2 to 3 pages)
• References (1 page)
• The project should be APA formatted.

Instructions:

For the Outline, you will do the following:

1. Begin with your Thesis Statement.
2. Break the major ideas into Sections (Upper-Case Roman Numerals)–you should have a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 sections.
3. Under the Sections, give Body Paragraph Topic Sentences (Upper-Case Letters)–you should have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 sentences per Section.
4. If you choose to develop the Outline further, then follow the subdivisions and their labeling above (Reasons, Source Data, Commentary)–there are not minimum numbers in these areas other than you must give commentary after source material. **These “extra” subdivisions are not factored into the grade for Step 6, so you will not be penalized if you choose not to develop them. However, if you do, it can only benefit you since you will receive the extra feedback.
5. If you give data from your sources, you must cite it in text or parenthetically.

NOTES: Remember the following principles when composing the outline:

• each point is a complete sentence; there are no fragments;
• do not offer the introduction, nor the conclusion;
• see the “Outline Template” Pages for rules regarding outlines; (attached below)

Case Study 1: Blaze Mining Case Study

Organizational Problem:

Blaze Mining is a mid-size, family-owned oil and mining company located in Louisiana. Over the past 10 years, leadership of the company has fractured and become antagonistic. Non-collaborative internal teams have caused great damage to the management and operation of critical functions within the organization. Recently, a new CEO joined the organization and was stunned by the discord within the leadership team and its effect on the bottom line.

Organizational Design:

Blaze Mining is family-owned and managed. There are multiple divisions and departments pertinent to the type of operation occurring: Mining, Oil, Off Shore, Human Resources (HR), Finance, Education, and Safety. Each section is led by a family member and a personally selected team. The CEO is the overseer of the company.

Challenge and Request Criteria:

For the company to survive, the problems within the leadership team must be identified and addressed in a professional manner. The CEO of Blaze Mining is requesting an OD intervention to interact with the leadership group and develop a cohesive team focused on the success of the organization. The intervention is to include

• • • three workshop sessions, once a month, for three months;
    • specialized intervention with each division/department; and a wrap-up session with all stakeholders
