MSC PROJECT MANAGEMENT Unit: Project Environment and Planning Instructions: I am a student of MSc Project Management and currently taking unite: Project Environment and Planning. We have been requested to write an essay to answer a question related to the unite. (More information below). The Assignment question: To what extent can the outcome of a project be influenced by the environment in which it is conceived and realised? Your answer should be supported with evidence from the literature to support your arguments, including relevant theory and constructs, for the theoretical underpinning. At Master’s level, you are being assessed on your ability to communicate your critical abilities, not your ability to simply repeat what existing literature has already written or how much you know. Focus on identifying your position on the assignment brief (what do you think). Present critical arguments based on your research to support your position and to justify why your position should be adopted by other people. Constraints: For the academic research you must use the following sources to support your assignment: International Journal of Project Management. The Project Management Journal International Journal of Managing Projects in Business This is an assessment on the MSc Project Management Course. Therefore, the restriction of only using three academic journals as sources has been given so you can focus on gaining familiarity in finding, evaluating and using academic papers in journals without being overwhelmed by the full range of sources available to you. References need to be in APA 6th edition format. This is to familiarise you with using a standard convention for the format of your references in academic writing. Please state the word count at the end of your main text. 2,500 words is not much, but it tests your ability to present a convincing case for your position in a concise manner. The key here is to use references and appendices for background information and explanations so that your main text focuses on supporting your arguments. General Hints and Guidance: One of the key messages throughout this module is to focus on using your critical abilities to evaluate concepts.

Critical Thinking: The Nature of Change In this module, we learned that everything is in a state of constant change. This is a challenge of strategic management, as the industry environment is driven by technology, consumer needs, politics, economic conditions, and many other influences. Consider these influences as you select one of the following cases to analyze. Eastman Kodaks Quest for a Digital Future (R. M. Grant, Contemporary Strategy Analysis: Text and Cases, 10th ed., Wiley, 2019) OR New York Times: Adapting to the Digital Revolution (R. M. Grant, Contemporary Strategy Analysis: Text and Cases, 10th ed., Wiley, 2019) Once you have selected your case, read Chapter 8 and the assigned reading. Remember that a case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the specific case questions, develop your proposed solution by following these five steps: 1. Read the case study to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the principles and concepts of the course area which apply to the situation described in the case study. 2. Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the course area issues. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current course area. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers. 3. Describe in some detail the actions that would address or correct the situation. 4. Consider how you would support your solution with examples from experience or current real-life examples or cases from textbooks. 5. Complete this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically, you will already have the answers to the questions but with a broader consideration. At this point, you can add the details and/or analytical tools required to solve the case. Case Study Questions: 1. What is the nature and source of organizational inertia for the company? Detail the drivers of industry evolution for this company. 2. What were the challenges of technological change (especially when it was a disruptive technology and embodied architectural innovation)? 3. Discuss the difficulties the company had in developing new organizational capabilities. 4. Evaluate and recommend different approaches to managing strategic change including organizational ambidexterity, scenarios, crisis management, capability development, dynamic capabilities, and knowledge management. Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements: ? Be 4 to 5 pages in length, which does not include the required title and reference pages, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements. ? Use APA style guidelines. ? Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles unless the assignment calls for more. make sure no Plagiarism

he purpose of the focused annotated bibliography is to prepare for the research paper assignment. The annotated bibliography, therefore, is a record of the research you have done for the research paper. But you also need a purpose, a focus, for this assignment. In addition to the research, you will also have an introductory paragraph that explains your thesis, the purpose of your research. Therefore, this assignment is comprised of the introductory paragraph as well as the citations, each with an annotation.

Write an introduction of at least 200 words explaining the purpose of your research. This purpose will also serve as the thesis for the research paper. Be as specific as possible, completely explaining and defining your purpose. Remember that the thesis is a specific critical argument, an analysis of one of the assigned texts. The thesis does not have to be limited to one sentence; you may need a paragraph or two to explain your ideas consider your audience. Also, you may need to tweak the introduction when you begin writing the research paper itself.
Gather, cite, and annotate at least five secondary, scholarly sources on a text from our Syllabus under the Readings for each Unit (these are not the type of sources you normally find by doing a Google search). The text you select is the primary source (one of the novels, short stories or poems in the course), but this primary source is not listed on the annotated bibliography.
Only secondary sources are listed on the bibliography. The secondary sources should be up-to-date sources.
Citations must follow current MLA guidelines.
Every citation will have an annotation, a summary of the source. Each annotation will be between 90 and 110 words, a complete paragraph of three to four complete sentences. The annotation will state the authors main argument and key points/evidence supporting that argument.

Argument
People argue all the timeover what movie to see, what to have for dinner, who to vote for. People generally have strong opinions, and many dont hesitate to express them. Your friend doesnt want to see the same movie you do because he doesnt like gory horror. Your partner wants to eat at a restaurant that serves healthy food. Your coworker wont vote for any candidate who doesnt support universal healthcare.

Your argument essay is an amplified version of those types of arguments you have with family, friends, and coworkers each day. The difference is that youll be conducting research and using the information you find to explain a problem and then provide a solution.

The argument essay is 1,6001,800 words and must incorporate a minimum of 4 secondary sources.

There is no graded prewriting assignment for your argument essay. However, your Journal Part 3 entries are designed to help you write your argument. If you would like feedback on your topic, reasons, or research, you may submit Journal Part 3 before you submit your argument.

Assignment Objectives
Use prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing to write formal, college-level essays
Distinguish between different patterns of development
Apply an appropriate pattern of development to a specific purpose and audience
Write effective thesis statements

You may narrow the focus of your topic as you see fit.

Purpose and Audience
The purpose of your essay is to identify, define, and analyze the problem, and then provide a solution to address it. You will use the third-person point of view.

Your audience is made up of your fellow Penn Foster classmates. Many will agree with you, while others will disagree. You need to present evidence to support your analysis and solution, and convince your audience through the strength of your argument and the feasibility of your solution, to side with you.

Research Requirement
You are required to use a minimum of four secondary sources in your essay. Use the Research Writing and Citation and Documentation webinar, Journal Entry 16, and the Argument Essay Research Worksheet to help start your research and organize your essay.

The required secondary sources are

At least two articles from Penn Fosters digital library database, Expanded Academic ASAP
At least one non-profit or government organization (online or print). Look for website domains .org, .edu, and .gov.
One source that you choose.
Remember that all sources, no matter where they come from, should be evaluated for accuracy and validity. You may use more than four sources, but you should avoid using more than six. Borrowing too much from too many sources will overwhelm your voice in your essay and negatively affect your grade. It could also lead to plagiarism.

Process
Once youve chosen your topic, use the Guided Writing Assignment in Chapter 20 in your textbook to help you begin prewriting. As you begin your research, review your reading from Chapter 22, Finding Sources, Taking Notes, and Synthesizing Ideas, to find and evaluate secondary sources. Required Journal Entry 16 will also help you to narrow your topic, write a working thesis, identify your reasons, and start your research.
Use the Organizing & Drafting section of the Guided Writing Assignment of Chapter 20 to develop your thesis statement, choose a method of organization, create an outline or graphic organizer, and begin drafting your essay.
Review Chapter 23 in your text, Drafting, Revising, and Formatting a Research Project, as you draft your essay to ensure that you are incorporating your sources accurately and responsibly. Remember to include the sources you use in your essay on your list of references.

You will be using APA citation and documentation style to give credit to your sources. See the APA style section in Chapter 23 of your textbook.

Use the Revising flowchart in Chapter 20 to revise your draft. As part of this stage, review the purpose and requirements for this assignment to ensure that youve fulfilled them.
Follow the steps for editing and proofreading included in Chapter 20 to correct and polish your essay before you submit.
To help you write your research paper, review the sample argument essay, Pull the Plug on Explicit Lyrics by James Sturm located in Chapter 20 of your textbook. The essay is annotated to help you see how the student crafted his argument and incorporated his sources. The sample APA-style essay Schizophrenia: Definition and Treatment in Chapter 23 in your text illustrates in-text (parenthetical) citation and a list of references.

Final Essay Question:
Truth is the key to making good and well-informed decisions in management. However, criminal justice organizations in some jurisdictions do not practice the ethics of truth. They do not create trust in their ability to deal with their citizens and fellow criminal justice organizations with truthfulness in a court of law. Many years ago, some folks said, if we dont clean this mess up, someone else is going to clean it up for us. The article you are reading for this essay was written in 2007, about three years after this old issue came back with a vengeance. It, too, will cost money, if you do not have a decisional policy point and procedure in place before that court date arrives. Do not ever think that it cannot happen here, because it always does. Two very key cases here: Brady v. Maryland and Giglio v. United States.
The writer poses the true question in his title to be answered in full using the format as layed out below, Should Police Officers Who Lie Be Terminated as a Matter of Public Policy?
As you strive to answer the overall question, use the steps below to arrive at your final answers in route to the last one:
It is simple, but is it fair?
Is it possible that you could lose some really good personnel who only messed up once in their whole career?
What effect will such a drastic measure have on the personnels families?
If you keep them, will it affect the overall credibility of your agency?
What conclusion does the writer reach? Why or why not?
What policy would you recommend for your chief, sheriff, warden, state police commissioner, and/or any other affiliated executive with whom you may work?

The U.S. EPA defines environmental justice as the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies (http://www.epa.gov/environmentaljustice/). Too often, major sources of pollution are located in or near predominately poor and/or minority communities. These problems represent a type of social injustice.

The goals of the assignment are to help you learn about topics we dont have time to cover in lecture, to improve your independent research skills, to connect course material to real world problems, and to improve your communication skills. The assignment consists of a research paper.

Each student will examine a type of pollution that impacts predominately poor and/or minority communities. Students will then write a research paper on one specific case study of an environmental injustice within their broader topic.

The paper must have the following sections:

Introduction a brief description of the environmental injustice issue and the specific case study that will be discussed
Scientific Background This discussion should general, not specific to one location or event.
Basic Information The type of pollution and how it is released into the environment
Environmental Fate How long the pollution persists and how it moves through the environment
Environmental Impacts How it affects plants, animals
Human Impacts – How it affects humans
Solutions Possible methods of remediation
Case Study This should be a detailed discussion of a specific example of community impacted by the pollution
History Explain how the pollution occurred and what has occurred since it happened, including any legal action and remediation
Key actors Name and describe the community, legal, governmental, and corporate organizations involved
Demographics The racial, cultural, and economic makeup of the community
Impact the impact of the pollution on the community as a whole and on individuals; includes quantitative data such as how many individuals affected, lethal dose of pollutant determined in studies, etc.
Reaction the community reaction to the pollution
Resolution Discuss any resolution to the problem and/or ongoing efforts by or on behalf of the community
Conclusion Give your recommendations on how the community should proceed and discuss how the problem can be avoided in the future.
References List all articles and websites used as sources of information for the paper. Cite where the references are used within the text using numbers or an author, year format.
The choice of the case study is left up to the student. However, students are encouraged meet with the instructor and discuss their choice of topic before beginning substantial research or writing.

The paper should have the following format: 8 x 11 in. page size, double-spaced, left justified, 1 inch margins, 10 point Times New Roman font, and each page after the title page should be numbered starting with 2. The text of the paper should be between 7 and 10 pages long, not including the title page, references, tables, or figures. Include figures or tables within the body of the document; number them in order (Figure 1, Figure 2, Table 1, Table 2, etc) and give each a descriptive title or legend. A detailed grading rubric will be provided by the instructor. This assignment is worth 50 points.
