Bigco By team6( Shujie Zhai& Qi Liang& Zhanghan Qiu)

1. Should Casey become more of a hawk or more of a dove?
Instead of persuading others to follow her agendas, what Casey need to do is acting as an aggressive hawk, the earlier, the better. In that case, Casey just leave the other specialists in an awkward position---they need to make a choice ---compromise or not . Once seeing what Casey strived to protect her self-interest , the other specialists who are not that ambitious to push their own agendas will make concession sooner or later. Since no one wants the project to go to a dead end, which is an lose lose situation for everyone, the others may probably follow her agendas to ensure the project can be finished on time, and Casey just protect her own interest.

What’s more! Just like what we have said that Casey is just try to act like a Hawk, she could change her attitude to dovish after she found no one is going to fight with her anymore. We do think the best team atmosphere yield the best result. The team consist of doves who do not care so much about their self-interest and can calm down and exchange extensive views is possibly more efficient than the team with hawks.
2. What can BigCo do to promote a more collaborative, dovish environment?
But in terms of the whole enterprise, the allocation of the self-interest among the employees( the specialists) does not affect the process of the project unless there are more than one hawk exist in the team. So what is Bigco’s goal of promoting a more collaborative,dovish environment? Obviously, just try to avoid the worst situation---the project has been interrupted by the fight of the hawks.

If possible, the bigco can create a database including the character and feedbacks of the ex-teammates of every single specialist.The data whether he or she is hawkish or dovish or whether the specialist is arbitrary or easy-going can be recorded by the computer and seen by the supervisor of the project. So a

    My team consisted of six members. We started our discussion by taking a poll. We were split equally between Kristin and Suzanne. Since nobody supported Nancy, we dropped her profile from our discussion. Then, the two sides tried to convince each other with their choice. We both performed a reaction known as the commitment and consistency principle, which explains that “a person who takes a stand encounters pressures to behave consistently with that commitment”.…

    There are many reasons why plans fail to succeed. In discussing our answers to this question, Team C felt that in the list of reasons on why plans fail, poor planning would be on top of the list. When there are no attempts in pushing forward with already made plans, the project is bound to fail. Another reason why project plans fail is because the data in which plans are based are insufficient making it difficult for project managers to take control and give out orders. With insufficient data, the project’s scope would seize to exist. Along with not have an identified scope, the team would not know the ultimate objective of the project, and because of this, people will work towards different directions rather than one common goal. It is important that the reasons on the list are taken care of or prevented. This can be done during the defining and sequencing process.…

    Big Spaceship Case

    • 338 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Big Spaceship has the potential to go big, however it is not the best course of action. Going big would lead to the creation of numerous smaller teams within the agency, consequenting the disunification of the agency as one large team. Already at the end of 2008, with only four seven-member project teams and one floater team, there is an organizational rigidity beginning to bind the previously dynamic community. Hiring more employees and isolating them into teams would break down the family community that is a large part of what identifies Big Spaceship’s work-culture. Not only would the isolation of each individual into separate teams prevent Big Spaceship from utilizing each employee to their maximum efficiency, it would also create a disconnect between the people of the same discipline working on different teams and different projects. Employees who were once accustomed to being able to learn from each other through intradisciplinary communication would be left feeling estranged from their previous co-workers/mentors. The additional layers of management required to regulate the larger employee pool would also unavoidably lead to a hierarchical structure that will compromise the culture of self-motivation at Big Spaceship.…

    Instead of working a round-the-clock schedule, and pushing and demanding the team to work beyond their capability, Kathy could and should have taken different approaches. Above all she should have worked harder to understand her team better and work with them rather than above them, or given them incentives for their work. Unfortunately, giving incentives can cause people to cheat through their work instead of doing their best, but most people would use the incentives as a means for motivation to do their best and meet the expectations of the project.

    When assessing the overall effectiveness of our discussion, our team score of 32 must also be considered—it was tied with Team 5 for the lowest in the class, while our average individual score of 56.4 was second in the class ranking. When we compare our team’s average individual score to the best individual score on our team (30), we see that there is a significant difference. Clearly there was one team member who was more in-line with the expert rankings of the survival tools than the rest of the team. This difference of 26.4 points was by far the greatest spread in the class. When looking at this spread along with our team’s percentage change, we may also conclude that this person made a positive impact on our discussions by helping to improve the team’s overall score.…

    Next we ensure alignment of purpose. With this I believe it falls into the category of miscommunication. Communication is one of if not the most important part of successes when dealing with a small to large amount of people, if you have 10 over even 100 people working on a single project and they are not in constant communication with each other than will most likely be doing double the work. You must out line the groups purpose. You must see how the group 's interests tie into their…
