A Consulting Firm’s Lost Paradise: You read about and practiced with various concepts regarding organizational structure and culture which affect employee behavior and success. Read the scenario carefully and provide your response regarding the organizational structure and culture in the fictional organization provided below. Scenario (fictional):  An industry consulting firm has the following structure and culture: All the employees at this consulting firm work full-time. All the full-time consultants report to various industry directors depending on the industry contract. The company employees work mostly from home with directors or consultants renting temporary office space with or without videoconferencing when needed for either client meetings or vendor meetings. The company is very successful and has an expanding client base. The company CEO is extremely relaxed and extremely smart and expects everyone at the company to display a relaxed yet expert demeanor as well. There really are very few rules or expectations at the company as the CEO also believes in keeping processes very simple. The previous president retired about six months ago, and the CEO, together with a human resources firm, hired a new president. About two months ago the company’s employees (i.e., consultants) started receiving emails from the new president putting pressure on all of them to produce results in less time but pressuring them to charge the clients higher sums without making any more money for themselves. In addition, the new president wants the staff to come into the office now three times a week for meetings. Three months ago the new president hired thirty new full-time consultants that seem more like salespersons than consultants to existing employees. A few of the long-time consultants have been emailing the CEO about these changes and suggesting they may go elsewhere. In the meantime, the Finance Director has detected several anomalies in the contract terms and financial results from some of the new consultants and one or two of the existing consultants. Describe the organizational structure at this consulting firm and how it affects employee behavior. Describe how the changes to the organization’s culture might affect employee behavior. Provide a recommendation for any adjustments you think need to be made at this organization based on the Reading and explain why.

Read the case found at the end of Chapter 10 in your textbook and write a two- to three-page paper (excluding title and reference pages), according to APA style guidelines, on the following items:Evaluate the performance measures in place at the Squire Hotel Group (SHG).Provide suggestions for improving SHG’s existing market position.Use at least two scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook, to support your points.

 Mentors and Shadowing The following Professional Competency Outcome(s) are practiced and assessed in this Assignment: PC-3.5: Engage in career development and advancement strategies, including effective networking, mentoring, and creating a personal brand. As the BPM nears completion, the process team must be concerned not only with the best-fit roll-out option but also with providing information to the work team that will handle the completed process or process change to ensure their success. This often takes the form of mentoring. Mentoring is most often a one-on-one activity in which an experienced individual (the mentor) provides guidance and advice to someone with less experience (the mentee). Any mentoring relationship is, by nature of the process, a close one in which experiences, knowledge, and skills are shared. The best way for mentors and mentees to share information is through a process called shadowing. Shadowing occurs when the mentee actively watches, follows, and participates in the activities, processes, or actions that are completed by the mentor. This provides a visceral and active learning environment. Consider the BPM process you have been designing this semester and address the following (support your answers with research on mentoring and shadowing). 1. Should all members of the BPM team be considered as possible mentors? Explain and justify your answer. 2. Who within the organization would be the mentee(s) for the institutionalization of the new processes? Make sure you fully support your conclusions. 3. Identify ways in which mentors and mentees can use shadowing as a method for tracking and assessing the ongoing changes within the company after completion of the BPM project. Paper must be at least 3 pages with at least 3 references in APA format. The business organization that is being used for the assignment, is Samsung.  To hopefully help with the assignment, I have included the last 4 paper assignments to help with the completion of the assignment. Thanks and good luck!
