Assignment 4 – Eagle’s Nest Hotels Case Study – Detailed Implementation Plan Brief
This is an Individual Assignment.
It is worth 40% of the total module mark.
The overall word count must not exceed 1,250 words – incl tables and any appendices
DUE – 19th December 2018
Your Brief
For the allocated department, you are required to prepare the Implementation Plan of the Investment Idea which your syndicate recommended in your Detailed Investment Case. Any comments or suggestions made by the Directors at the presentation of your Investment Case may be ignored. It is your syndicate group’s written Investment Case submission which should be used as your starting point for this piece of assessed work. The audience for the Plan is wide – anyone who needs to use it.
Allocation of Business Departments
In most Implementation Plans there are several sections which relate to the different departments in a corporate business. You have been assigned just one of them (see the spreadsheet which will be made available after the Investment Case submission). The departments used for this Case Study are:
(1) Sales & Marketing, (2) Operations, (3) Finance, including Joint Ventures, Mergers and Acquisitions, (4) HR. The allocation of departments to group members has been done in your seminars. Your group colleagues have been assigned other sections. With permission of the Module Leader, you will be allowed to swap your section with a fellow syndicate member in your own syndicate group. You should work on your section independently and are not allowed to contribute to writing the sections being prepared by your fellow syndicate members. However there are key dependencies and links between each of the business departments so you may wish to discuss these links as a team so that your implementation plan reflects the full business requirements.
Whilst discussion of the overall investment plan and in particular the inter-dependencies between business departments is anticipated, it is emphasised that this is an INDIVIUAL assignment and you must write your whole submission by yourself. You are obviously allowed to (and it is suggested that you do) liaise with your syndicate group team members to identify your department’s dependencies with other business departments’ plans. But any instances of copying or plagiarism will be investigated and severely penalised. (The University reserves the right to use plagiarism software on student submissions).
Format of your Detailed Implementation Plan:
Your Detailed Implementation Plan must include the content shown on the following page. Through background reading you will need to assess the precise requirements for your plan because the plan content will differ according to the business department for which it is written.
There is no single correct structure or format for this assignment. You will be judged on:
The level of business and commercial awareness which you demonstrate
The originality of thinking that has gone into your plan – background reading and research is required to score well here
The readability (clear and concise English) and appearance/attractiveness of your plan
How convincing your plan is to a business reader – included here is the professionalism demonstrated
The structure – does it hang together nicely or is it a mixed up document and hard to follow?
Identification and incorporation of the key links with the other business departments
Completeness and accuracy – it should examine the likely requirements of your allocated business department to deliver the part of the investment idea for which you are responsible.
Expected Content
The plan should cover all of the following. The precise content, length and detail of each area depend on the department that you are working for. To complete the Implementation Plan you will need to study the 11 PowerPoint lectures and all weekly Reading materials in advance.
Overview of the Investment Idea being implemented
Impact on your department – details of how the overall Investment Idea affects your allocated business department

Links and dependencies between your section of the plan and other departmental plans for your syndicate

From within Eagle’s Nest Hotels – ie within your own department’s responsibility and those to be provided to your department by other departments

Written Presentation Tip
It is suggested that you use a structure with headings and sub-headings and use a numbering system. Graphs (including Gantt charts), flow charts, bar charts to show time plans and summaries of key resources are all likely to add to the quality of your submission, as will appropriate tables.
Note: you must include a reference list at the end showing any sources you have consulted to produce your plan. Use of the Harvard referencing system is compulsory.

This is an essay for the Organisation Theory class. The idea of the paper is to access the current literatures on how concertive control is operating in 21st century firms.
The title of the essay can be flexible. You can write about a specific sector in the 21st century, such as “how concertive control works in higher education institutions”, etc.
The term “concertive control” was developed by Barker (1993), when rules and bureaucratic offices are cut. The company in the paper decide to change their control method, by creating self-managing team instead of being normal bureaucratic firms. The control moves from management to workers, and workers develop their own control by negotiated consensus. The employees seemed to be satisfied because they are not told what to do, but afterwards, they found this “concertive control” even more stressful.
Please tell me if you need more explanation on “concertive control”.
