Direction: Discuss or explain what is being asked. (5pts./each)

1. How does the firm make money?


 The ultimate goal of any business is to make money, but it can't be
done overnight. Creating or running a successful business takes
creativity, planning, and above all, hard work. You'll have to start
with a good idea and then run your business better than your
competitors. Along the way, you'll need to overcome obstacles and
make the right connections to allow your business to grow. With a
bit of luck and a lot of determination, you can soon be on your way
to success.

2. Employee Engagement: How should firm deal with it?


 The steps for improving engagement aren’t complex, they simply
must be prioritized. Which means engagement must be a core
function of the manager’s role. All else then falls into place.

Step 1 – Put Everyone in the Right Role


Again, get the right people on the bus and make sure they are in
the right roles. This means that all talent acquisition and retention
strategies have to be aligned with meeting company goals.

Step 2 – Give Them the Training


No manager or leader can expect to build a culture of trust and
accountability — and much less improve engagement — without
setting the team up for success. This means providing the proper
training and development while removing obstacles.

Step 3 – Task Meaningful Work


Engaged employees are doing meaningful work and have a clear
understanding of how they contribute to the company’s mission,
purpose and strategic objectives. Again, this is why they first have
to be placed in the right role. I’ve made the mistake of hiring great
talent just to get them in the door – but didn’t have a clear career
path or role for them. If you don’t sort those details out quickly, they
will leave.
Step 4 – Check in Often
The days of simply relying on mid-year reviews for providing
feedback are long gone. Today’s workforce craves regular
feedback — which of course leads to faster course correction and
reduces waste. Use both formal and informal check-in
strategies — and use them every week.

Step 5 – Frequently Discuss Engagement


Successful managers are transparent in their approach to
improving engagement — they talk about it with their teams all the
time. They hold “state of engagement” meetings and “engage”
everyone in the discussion — and solutions.

Again, these principles are not complex, but must be prioritized.


Companies that get this right will drive greater financial returns,
surpass their competitors and easily climb to the top of “the best
places to work” lists.

3. How should a firm organize to turn the formulated strategy into action?
 Strategy implementation is the process of turning plans into action
to reach a desired outcome. Essentially, it’s the art of getting stuff
done. The success of every organization rests on its capacity to
implement decisions and execute key processes efficiently,
effectively, and consistently. While developing a strategy is one of the
first steps to implementing organizational change, the implementation
itself is vital to a company’s success. Without an efficient implementation
process, even the best-laid plans may not come to fruition.
