Competency Statement

By analyzing current cultural, demographic and technological forces, as well as a company’s compliance with ethical and social responsibilities, the MBA candidate will present recommendations for organizational innovation.

Assessment Overview

An organization’s demographics are an important factor to consider for its business strategies. For this Competency Assessment, you will review the demographic and technological information about the company you selected in Module 1 and have been analyzing thus far in the course. If the information is not public, base your decisions on a similar company and research. You will create a chart and organization presentation to display this information.

Part 1: Demographics and Technology Chart

Review the demographic and technological information about your company. If the information is not public, base your decisions on a similar company and research. This information will assist you as you complete your Organizational Presentation in Part 2 of this assessment.

Create a 350- to 525- word outline that conveys the information in the following format:

• Demographics
  • What are the current demographics? (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity, etc)
  • What was a recent change?
  • How did the company handle it?
  • Was the change handled ethically? If not, how should they have handled it? If it was, what stands out as something to emulate in your future business endeavors?
• Technology
  • How does the company utilize technology in day-to-day business?
  • What types of technology are used?
  • How does a change of technology affect the organization?

Part 2: Organization Presentation

You have become a trusted resource for your organization, and they have asked for your advice on gaining a competitive advantage in the field. More specifically, they would like your analysis and recommendations on ways to bring their company culture, demographics, and technologies up to current industry practices and beyond.

Create a 10- to 12-slide presentation showing your analysis and recommendations. Your presentation should use speaker notes to convey the details you would give if you were presenting. The slides themselves should only contain essential information and as little text as possible. Do not design a slide presentation made up of long bullet points.
