    MBA Program_ Dynamics of Strategy

    BB835_TMA ONE Spring, (Second) Semester_ (2017 2018)

    Question One: (1500 words_ 50 Marks):
    Nike appears to have developed different business practices for the different countries it operated in. Therefor, Nike was attacked as exploitative and unethical. However, it was not clear if any laws were broken.
    Question One:
    Many believe that managers obligations are only toward stakeholders (while disregarding ethical and moral responsibilities) is acceptable. Others think the challenges are to be seen as acting responsibly and ethically while also complying with laws and regulations. This latter view is significant especially in the long run and is being made more complex by a number of complicating factors. Explain these factors while analysing the statements above. Give real life examples from ongoing organizations to support your answer.
    (50 Marks)

    Question Two (1500 words _ 50 Marks):
    In his book Contemporary Strategy Analysis, Robert Grant provides us with a figure that illustrates the links between an organizations resources and capabilities on the one hand, and its potential to achieve competitive advantage on the other. Grant also argues that organizational resources and capabilities are durable, difficult to identify, imperfectly transferable, and not easily replicated. Therefore, it should be regarded as the organizations most important assets because they play a significant role in the firms competitive strategy.

    Undertake a resource-based analysis of your own organization, or an organization with which you are familiar explaining the different types of resources assessed. Then, based on this assessment, what steps should be taken by your selected organization to exploit its strengths and to correct its weaknesses in relation to its current and future strategy? Use current examples to support your analysis. (50 Marks)

    II- CONCEPT TO REFLECT ON
    ur Workforce for the
    Prepare Your Workforce for the Automation Age
    By Christoph Knoess, Ron Harbour and Steve Scemama, November 2016
    The internet has dramatically changed the way companies operate. Massive data storage capacity, super-fast data transmission and mobility devicesalong with slick application program interfaceshave left companies scrambling to adapt.
    Today, innovations in digitization and robotization are quickly laying the foundation for another disruptive corporate transformation. For example, Anheuser-Busch, working with Uber (and Otto), just delivered 2,000 cases of Budweiser in a self-driving truck. Commerzbank has announced plans to digitize 80% of its processes within three years. We estimate that robotization, digitization, digital self-services, distributed digital advice and sales, and robo-advisors could result in a 60-70% reduction in the workforces of service providers, from financial services to telecom. Manufacturers have already seen reductions, albeit at lower levels. The pace of robot adoption may surprise us, just as the internet spread more quickly than many anticipated.
    But companies will only be able to realize productivity gains from these new operating models if they skillfully manage the soft side of their automation transformationthe people in what will be a vastly different organization. As companies introduce software bots and digital self-service, and as they transform assembly lines, they must bring along their key employees, leaders, and customers as they redefine jobs, career paths, workforce management, and social contracts. Executives must think carefully about how to best match people and machines, bearing in mind that many of the decisions they make today will have a long-tail effect on workforce composition, productivity, and profits for years to come.
    As workforces hollow out, the remaining employees will be highly specialized and experienced business/technology hybridsa new breed of professional who can work in highly distributed environments and shift from managing people to managing experiences and technology. In the back-office, the lights will dim, as work is shifted to the customer or other parts of the value chain. In the middle office, risk and compliance management will largely watch bots that are not prone to human error or fraud, supported by sophisticated models to predict quality and compliance issues. In the front office, automation based on predictive analytics will leave only managers who can control sophisticated robo-advisors trusted by customers. Salespeople will be disrupted as customers link with algorithmic bots to obtain products contextually presented at the (digital) point of needoften dominated by the global platforms that link retail, financial services, entertainment and communications in sticky ways.
    Will this happen overnight? No. Disruption rarely occurs as soon as expected. Freeways full of driverless cars and beer trucks are still far off, because of technological and regulatory limitations. But the inflection point always happens faster than expected. As always with technology adoption, there is an S-curve, already being scribbled by early adopters; when the inflection point is reached, expect sudden acceleration. So early preparation is needed.
    Lessons from automakers
    To figure out how to effectively integrate software robots and digitization, executives can take some cues from the automotive industry. After decades of introducing physical robots and automation, some automakers factories require three to six months to launch an entirely new vehicle, while others need no more than a day. But the most automated carmakers are not necessarily the most efficient.
    Instead, the nimblest factories have been pragmatic about integrating automation so that new processes can run smoothly, with continuous improvementso that only the simplest, most repetitive processes are automated. Over the past two decades, leading automakers have automated their paint and body shopswhere they see the greatest gainsbut have also retained and retrained the people required to quickly redesign products and processes on more complex tasks. Automakers have used automation gains to configure and fund increased customization; assembly lines are run by humans who build customized vehicles, choosing from as many as 55,000 parts.
    The lesson: Change needs to be evolutionary, even if the impact of automation is ultimately revolutionary. Dont throw away your core capability, until you are sure automation is better, faster, cheaper. As you prepare for the inflection point, be pragmatic about cost-benefit tradeoffs. Think about the overall organization in an automated world. Be mindful of the critical skills you need to retain, and the skills you need to build up. Take a full end-to-end view. Think both short term and long term. Build strategic advantage through the gains you achieve, beyond cost.
    Parallel work streams
    The lessons to date on driving digitization and robotics suggest operating on a dual track. Strike the right balance between implementing short-term automation fixes and opportunities, while seeking solutions to problems that will determine success in the long run. It takes time for clients and employees to adapt to monumental change. Thus, it is as important to get long-term organizational change underway as it is to rapidly exploit near-term efficiency.
    To that end, managers should develop a list of 10 to 15 processes that bots can quickly improve. Test and learn, both in the application of the right bots to the right problem, and how to redesign processes end-to-end to maximize results. Simultaneously test and learn on the soft side of automation. Blueprint the broader impact on roles, skills, controls, leadership, workforce and talent management, and social contracts.
    By doing so, managers can move critical employees and clients closer to their longer term automation ambitionswhich can be funded at least in part with returns from the earlier automation of simpler tasks.
    Mold the organization
    As more processes are digitized in every part of an organization, executives must think at a macro level about the entire enterprise, even as the organization is changing. How do you hire today for a diminished workforce 10 years out? When more and more of your people are replaced by bots, how do you lead, enforce quality control, and audit? The key to navigating through the coming automation age will be identifying and retaining the employees who can make one transition after another.
    Companies will experience huge changes as physical infrastructure disappears, offshore capabilities are repatriated, more services become self-service and virtual, and customers begin to interact more with robots. Automation will transform not just production, but operating models. Start early to shift the leadership mindset. Actively drive customer adoption by adjusting your pricing and loyalty incentives to encourage early adopters, while simultaneously having your own employees co-service them with the same tools. Initially, customers should be allowed easy and seamless access to people as a fallback to self-service and other digital offerings. Assess the impact on your social contracts to both your employees and the communities you serve. Engage local stakeholders and unions early in discussions of how you can continue to give back to the community with a smaller workforce. Build a picture of the future state and work backwards.
    There is time before the inflection pointtime to prepare with purpose and pilots. Focus not just on the technology and analytics, the shiny object, but on people and a new form of leadership.

    V- AOU POLICY ON PLAGIARISM:
    Arab Open University Definitions of cheating and plagiarism:
    Plagiarism means copying from internet, from unreferenced sources, from other students TMAs or any other source. Penalties for plagiarism range from failure in the TMA or the course, to expulsion from the university.
    According to the Arab Open University By-laws, the following acts represent cases of cheating and plagiarism:
    Verbatim copying of printed material and submitting them as part of TMAs without proper academic acknowledgement and documentation.
    Verbatim copying of material from the Internet, including tables and graphics.
    Copying other students notes or reports.
    Using paid or unpaid material prepared for the student by individuals or firms.
    Utilization of, or proceeding to utilize, contraband materials or devices in examinations.

    Penalty on plagiarism: The following is the standard plagiarism penalty applied across branches as per Article 11 of the university by-laws was revisited and modified to be more explicit with regard to plagiarism on TMAs. Penalties include the following:
    1) Awarding of zero for a TMA wherein more than 20% of the content is plagiarized.
    2) Documentation of warning in student record.
    3) Failure in the course to dismissal from the University.

    VI- AOU POLICY ON LATE SUBMISSIONS:
    As per the terms stated in the Late Submission Policy for Tutor Marked Assignments-TMAs, sent by the deanship on 10/11/2016, TMA late submission is subject to grades deduction according to the following:
    1- Late submission Within the 6 days after the due date: reduction of 10% (of the total TMA grade) for each day late.
    2- Late submission After day 6: the necessity to submit a late submission justification form and decision will be taken by the respective BCC and PC.
    3- No submission: a zero grade will be attributed to the TMA in case of non submission

    VII- REFERENCING AND HARVARD STYLE:
    There are various ways of setting out references / bibliographies for an assignment.
    Harvard Style is a generic term for any referencing style which uses in-text references such as (Smith, 1999), and a reference list at the end of the document organized by author name and year of publication.
    In this guide, we are using a Harvard Style which is based on the author-date system for books, articles and non-books.
    NOTE: When you write your list of references/bibliography, please keep in mind the following points:
    Your bibliography should identify an item (e.g. book, journal article, cassette tape, film, or internet site) in sufficient detail so that others may identify it and consult it.
    Your bibliography should appear at the end of your TMA with entries listed alphabetically.
    If you have used sources from the Internet, these should be listed in your bibliography.
