only answer ONE QUESTIONGo to your eBook (pp. 489-491) and select Case 6: How JCPenney Sailed into a Red Ocean. For this discussion you will read and then answer ONE the following three questions for the case by Friday at 11:59 PM MST. Your discussion post to the one question should not exceed 200 words. Then please reply to two of your classmates' answers in order to get full credit for the discussion. These responses need to be more than "I agree with you" and are due by Sunday at 11:59 PM MST.The initial post is worth 25 points. The two replies are worth 5 points each. Total points possible for the case is 35 points total. *Students must post to the question before they will be able to review other submissions.Questions:While all brick-and-mortar retailers face the threat of Amazon and online shopping in general, why did JCPenney perform so poorly while other retailers such as Walmart, Best Buy, or Target fare better?Ron Johnson was hailed as a star executive at Apple, where he led the company’s highly successful retail arm. As CEO of JCPenney, he applied the “Apple playbook,” for example, moving JCPenney toward the higher end of the market or going with hunches (“we didn’t test at Apple”), rather than applying more traditional decision making. Why did his attempt to change JCPenney’s strategic position from cost-leadership to a blue ocean strategy fail so spectacularly? What are some of the lessons?You are part of the McKinsey strategy consulting team that the new CEO, Jill Soltau, retained to help turn around JCPenney. What recommendations would you give her? In particular, what type of business strategy would you want JCPenney to pursue, and how would you make the changes necessary? Be specific.

The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the major responsibilities of human resources management (HRM). Students will select an organization in need of change and make recommendations to manage the change through integrating the major responsibilities of HRM.The major responsibilities of human resources management (HRM) are to attract, develop, and maintain a quality workforce.PresentationAs a team, research an organization that is in need of a change and present how the team will manage the change process by incorporating the three essential responsibilities of HRM, focusing on one subsystem that requires change within the organization. For more information, reference the assigned Topic textbook readings. The team is required to create a PowerPoint presentation of 15 to 18 slides (including a title slide and references slide). Address following in your presentation under the appropriate heading:Overview of the Organization:Provide an overview of the chosen organization.Justify the choice of the organization.Identify the change needed and how the issue has impacted the organization.Organizational Subsystems in Need of Change Within the Organization:Identify three of the subsystems in the organization that relate to the needed change that was identified.Of the three subsystems chosen, identify the main subsystem that failed and led to the problem.Provide a justification or explanation for choosing the subsystem for change.Impact of the Proposed Change on Two Other Organizational Subsystems:Discuss how the proposed change will affect the other two subsystems identified.Discuss any system realignment that may result from the changes proposed.Subsystem Comparison to Another Organization:Compare the chosen subsystem for change to the same subsystem in a different organization. The subsystem chosen should be from an organization that is successful in the area of change being proposed. Provide justification.Satisfaction of Three Stakeholders:Identify any three stakeholders in the organization affected by the proposed change.Explain how the proposed change will satisfy each of the three stakeholders identified.Ethical and Social ResponsibilityDo the organization's views on ethical standards conform to or differ from their practices? Provide justification.In what way does the organization practice corporate social responsibility and how does it provide the organization with a competitive advantage? If you cannot identify areas of corporate social responsibility, provide a recommendation on how the organization can behave in a socially responsible manner to create a competitive advantage?Explain how these views and practices impact the three stakeholders.Attracting Human Resources:Propose how the organization should attract the human resources required to support the change in the primary subsystem.Focus the proposal to attract human resources (a specific individual or organization) on one of the following: human resource planning, recruitment, or selection.Explain how the proposed efforts to attract human resources to bring about the change will affect the primary subsystem identified.Developing Human Resources:Propose how the organization should develop the human resources (attracted in the previous section) in order to support the change.Focus the proposal to develop human resources on one of the following: employee orientation, training and development, or performance appraisal.Explain how the proposed efforts to develop human resources to bring about the change will affect the primary organizational subsystem identified.Maintaining Human Resources:Propose how the organization should maintain the human resources (attracted and developed in the previous sections) in order to support the change.Focus the proposal to develop human resources on one of the following: career development, work-life balance, compensation and benefits, employee retention and turnover, or labor-management relations.Explain how the proposed efforts to maintain human resources to bring about the change will affect the primary organizational subsystem identified.Internal Consistency:Explain how the HR processes chosen to attract, develop, and maintain the quality workforce to bring about the proposed change are the optimal choices, connected, internally consistent, and applicable to the overall changes suggested.Course Connectivity:Choose a minimum of three appropriate topics from the broader Class Resources (from Topics 1-6) and connect the discussion of each to the proposed changes and recommendations made in the presentation.This discussion should thoroughly explain or define each of the chosen topics, and clearly integrate the discussion of each to develop a persuasive argument that demonstrates a holistic understanding of the subject.Integration of Faith, Learning, and Work – CWV:Review the "Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work" in the topic resources and the "Christian Worldview Belief Statements" document outlining the integration of faith, learning, and work. Based on these resources, integrate a Christian worldview (CWV) component in the presentation.Using a minimum of three relevant Bible verses in total, explain how at least two of these CWV perspectives relates to the proposed change. You are required to address a minimum of one CWV perspective as long as it applies to your presentation.Make a clear connection on how CWV should inform the management practice.All individuals have a worldview. An individual's faith-based perspective/worldview influences that person's decisions, values, and perceptions. It also affects how an individual manages people (or thinks they should be managed). For this assignment, this requirement relates to the worldview of the presenters, not the organizations. For example, how does the CWV inform your interpretation of the problem or the proposed solution?General RequirementsYou are required to use at least four external scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook, to provide evidence. The rationale should be justified; this should not be completed based on an opinion. One of the sources should directly relate to the company discussed in the presentation and one to the comparison organization. These sources must be cited within the presentation, not just provided as references at the end of the presentation.Additionally, speaker notes are required. Include detailed speaker notes within the PowerPoint presentation in the designated slide field.While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines.Benchmark InformationThis benchmark assignment assesses the following programmatic competencies:BS Accounting; BS Business Administration; BS Business Analytics; BS Business Information Systems; BS Business Management; BS Entrepreneurial Studies; BS Finance; BS Finance and Economics; BS Hospitality Management; BS Marketing and Advertising; BS Sports Management; BS Supply Chain and Logistics Management1.1: Demonstrate skills for effective collaboration, negotiation, and teamwork.BS Applied Management1.4: Demonstrate skills for effective collaboration, negotiation, and teamwork.BS Homeland Security and Emergency Management2.2: Demonstrate skills for effective collaboration, negotiation, and teamwork.
