In order to do this case, there is a little but of prep work before reading the material.

So first, listen to the elements of the case here first on NPR. https://www.npr.org/2007/11/10/5470430/timeline-the-rise-and-fall-of-vioxx

Then read: Vioxx Case (Presley)Preview the document

Merck https://www.merck.com/index.html is a major pharmaceutical company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merck_%26_Co. that depends on patents and innovations. The patents of Fosamax and Zocor expired in 2006. Merck had planned Vioxx to be its next Blockbuster drug.

What might Merck have done when information came out that Vioxx caused Cardio vascular problems?

Was it ethical for Merck to withdraw sponsorship of researchers who took issue with Merck’s marketing of Vioxx? And was it good strategy?

Compare Merck’s actions in influencing reported research results on Vioxx to the strategy of the tobacco companies in the 1950’s as they countered research that established a link between smoking and cancer?

This is an individual assignment in which you will reflect on and develop your understanding of yourself, your future career direction and your strengths and areas for development as it relates to your career choices and goals. Specifically, this assessment will require you to reflect on and integrate the materials and readings from face to face meetings, online modules, workshop activities and readings from weeks 1 through 5 (Theme 1 of the course “Understanding yourself”). By applying course material, you will be able to evaluate your own preferences and strengths, motivations and goals, your values and ethical principles, and how they relate to your career goals.The report has a maximum word count of 2,000 words INCLUDING in-text referencing and the reference list at the end.

The assessment is divided into four sections:

Part 1: Self Assessment: Analyse your preferences, strengths and areas for development, drawing on at least 3 topic areas and related concepts/theories from Theme 1. Thinking about your strengths, give three Situation-Task-Action-Results (STAR) behavioural-based examples of when you have seen these characteristics emerge in your experiences at work, school or in other aspects of your life (e.g., in sports, hobbies, etc.).

Part 2: Career Goals, Values and Ethics: Describe your career goals (using the Specific-Measurable-Attainable-Relevant-Time-bound; SMART acronym as a guide), what’s important to you in your future career and why, drawing on relevant concepts and theories from week 4.

Part 3: Integration: Consider how your Part 1: Self Assessment and Part 2: Career Goals, Values and Ethics fit together. How do your preferences and strengths align with your career goals and values? Based on your self-assessment, what areas/skills do you need to develop in order to be able to contribute and to be effective in this career area? How will you build the experience / skills that you need (i.e., through IPP, internship, volunteering, part-time job, etc.). Provide at least one example.

Part 4: Appendices: Part 4: Appendices: The appendices are required for the assessment but are not formally marked and are NOT included as part of the total word count. Attach the evidence from part 1 (e.g., your personality profile, motivation sources etc) that you refer to in this section. Also attach any relevant evidence you use in Part 2 (e.g., your career preference self-assessment, values, etc.). Finally, you are required to include a 2 page Curriculum Vitae (CV) which is written based on your career choice.

NOTE. All information included in the assessment is confidential and will not be shared with anyone outside of the teaching team (except with your permission).

NOTE. Parts 1, 2 and 3 are equally weighted. Marks will also be allocated based on the overall structure, flow, connection between sections and referencing.

To assist us in assessing whether your career plan is within the word limit policy, please follow the instructions below closely:

Submit your career plan as a single Word document (NOT PDF file) with Parts 1-3 and your reference list all as text (as these all count towards the word limit).
For Part 4 (your appendices), please take screenshots of your CV, and other supporting evidence and paste them as images in your Appendices at the end of the Word document (so that these DO NOT count towards the word limit).

Please read pages 143 – 145 from the following case study: Gino, F. (2018). The flight attendant had to ask her twice, “Anything to drink, ma’am?” Harvard Business Review Digital Articles, 143–147.

Then please answer 3 questions, A, B and C: Roughly 1000 words each

1. Imagine you are in the position of Noelle Freeman, the Chief Financial Officer of Franklin Climate Systems. Reflecting on one or more theories on the nature of managerial work discussed in the course (i.e. Taylor, Fayol, Weber, Follett, Barnard, Urwick, Mintzberg, Stewart), please describe what are the key aspects of Noelle’s work as a manager.

For part A: -Also, on Part A you are not asked to say what Noelle should do. You are asked to discuss what Noelle does drawing on the work of scholars as those listed in the question of Part A and connecting these with the case. Also, you are not asked to compare theories (e.g. what Taylor said vs what Fayol said).

1. Which management skills from those covered in this module (i. effective problem-solving, ii. developing self-awareness, iii. effective motivation & empowerment of others, iv. ability to work effectively in groups, v. successfully managing power & conflict and vi. successfully leading change) would Noelle need to apply in order to fix the toxic culture at the Little Rock Arkansas plant of Franklin Climate Systems? Why are these skills that you selected important in this situation? To answer this question please draw on the theories related to the selected skills.

 

For part B: On Part B you are asked to choose at least TWO skills among those listed. You can choose more – but not less than TWO.

 

1. Reflecting on the self-awareness skill that was discussed in the lecture, if you were in Noelle’s place, would you choose to support the layoffs (i.e. fire people) or advocate for culture change instead? Why?

 

For part C: Therefore, please be aware that you need to draw on theories for Part C too. Besides the above example on emotional intelligence, there are several other aspects/themes we covered regarding self-awareness on week 4 including personality, values (moral or cultural), attitudes to change, one’s cognitive style etc. You need to blend in you Part C answer at least one aspect relating to self-awareness from what was discussed and the readings you had on week 4.

 

In summary: Essentially, in Part A you are asked to say what Noelle does, In Part B you are asked to discuss what Noelle should do in terms of the skills she needs to apply and develop to address this situation. Finally, in Part C  you are asked to tell us what YOU would do  drawing on the self-awareness literature
