Organizational Development (MGMT628)
Assignment No. 2
Marks: 15


In order to make the change a permanent part of the organization (after change has been implemented and accepted), it is important to make sure that these changes are persistent. This phenomenon is termed as ‘refreezing’ in OD and unfortunately has not received much attention in theory and practice.

Keeping in view the major features of OD interventions that can affect the institutionalization process (as mentioned in the given table), you are required to identify these features from the following scenario:

An organization-wide training program is to be conducted by the HR department in collaboration with other department managers – so as to increase the credibility of the program and to achieve desired objectives. The major problem identified is customer dissatisfaction because of delays in the order processing that is placed for a product and/or for after sale services. This delay is directly linked with employees’ behavior and empowerment.

The training program is aimed at introducing and promoting the culture of “Employee Involvement and Empowerment” so as to improve the decision-making and ultimately its execution. It is also focused on encouraging employee feedback and participation particularly in group meetings on decisive issues that have a direct or indirect impact on them.

Software Project Management
Assignment # 03
Spring 2011
Marks: 20


Q.No.1
When we start development of the project the first that we consider is planning. There are number of steps involved in the planning process. You are given following three planning steps.

1. Resource Plan
2. Financial Plan
3. Procurement Plan
Now you have to state that how each given step is different from each other. Also give
examples to support your answer.

Solution:
Develop Resource Plan
Immediately after the Project Plan is formed, it is necessary to allocate the resources
required to undertake each of the activities and tasks within the Project Plan. Although
general groups of resources may have already been allocated to the Project Plan, a
detailed resource assessment is required to identify the:

ˇ Types of resources (labor, equipment and materials)
ˇ Total quantities of each resource type
ˇ Roles, responsibilities and skill-sets of all human resources
ˇ Items, purposes and specifications of all equipment resource
ˇ Items and quantities of material resource

A schedule is assembled for each type of resource so that the Project Manager can assess
the resource allocation at each stage in the project.

Develop Financial Plan
Similar to the Resource Plan, a Financial Plan is prepared to identify the quantity of

money required for each stage in the project. The total cost of labor, equipment and
materials is quantified and an expense schedule is defined which provides the
Project Manager with an understanding of the forecast spending vs. the actual spending
throughout the project. Preparing a detailed Financial Plan is extremely important as the
project's success will depend on whether or not it is delivered within the 'time, cost and
quality' estimates for this project.

Develop Procurement Plan
The last planning activity within the Planning phase is to identify the elements of the
Project which will be acquired from external suppliers to the project. The
Procurement Plan provides a detailed description of the Products (i.e. goods and services)
to be procured from suppliers, the justification for procuring each product externally, as
opposed to from within the business, and the schedule for procurement. It also references
the process for the selection of a preferred supplier ("Tender Process") and the process
for the actual order and delivery of the procured products ("Procurement Process").


Q.No.2
What are the support Phase in Project management process and what type of changes
occurs during it, elaborate it briefly?
Solution:
The support Phase focuses on Change associated with error correction, adaptations
required as the software's environment evolves, and changes due to enhancements
brought about by changing customer requirements. The support phase reapplies the steps
of the definition and development phases but does so in the context of existing software.

Four types of change are encountered during the support phase:

1. Correction
Even with the best quality assurance activities, it is likely that the customer will uncover
defects in the software. Corrective maintenance changes the software to correct defects.

2. Adaptation
Over time, the original environment (e.g., CPU, operating system, business rules, external
product characteristics) for which the software was developed is likely to change.
Adaptive maintenance results in modification I the software to accommodate changes to
its external environment.

3. Enhancement
As software is used, the customer/user will recognize additional functions that will
provide benefit. Perfective maintenance extends the software beyond its original
functional requirements.

4. Prevention
Computer software deteriorates due to change, and because ( this, preventive
maintenance, often called software reengineering, must be conducted to enable the

software to serve the needs of its end users, in essence, preventive maintenance makes
changes to computer programs so that they ca be more easily corrected, adapted, and
enhanced.

In addition to these support activities, the users of software require continuing support.
In-house technical assistants, telephone-help desks, and applicationspecific
Web sites are often implemented as part of the support phase.

Q1.Business will lose its charm if there will be no Claims and their Compensations. State your point of view (10)


Answer
Claims procedures play a central role in the decision-making mechanisms.
A claim is written to inform the company of the problem and suggest a fair compensation. No matter how annoying the nature of the problem, how great the inconvenience, the purpose of a claim is NOT to express anger, but to get results.

The most common causes for claims are:
1. An incorrect bill, invoice, or statement
2. A bill for merchandise ordered but never received;
3. Delivery of unordered merchandise;
4. Delivery of incorrect merchandise;
5. Delivery of damaged or defective merchandise

Two other more specialized types of claims are:
1. A request for an adjustment under a guarantee or warranty;
2. A request for restitution under an insurance policy.

So claim should be used in business for benefit. Claim has positive side on business through claim business can judge its abilities and quality of products. A claim should begin with the facts, first explaining the problem
such as the condition of the merchandise or the specific error made.

Claims not only check on the problems of customers but also without claim the business can not grow up.

Companies pay different kind of compensations also to workers and also to the customers. Through Compensation the workers work hardly and honestly also businesses can gain trust.

Compensation policy is very vital. Compensation includes topics in regard to wage and/or salary programs and structures, for example, salary ranges for job descriptions, merit-based programs, bonus-based programs, commission-based programs, So claims and compensation play an important role in any business.

a. Credit Letters
b. Claim Letters
c. Request Letters
d. Collection Letters
ReferenceComplaints should not be called complaint letters, because complaint connotes irritation, unpleasantness, negativism, and even anger. Using a word with such negative connotations could lead to a bad attitude toward customers. Letters about such complaints should be called claim letters. Page No 90


2. No matter how much one’s firm’s adjustment policy may be generous, the ultimate success of ones good-news adjustment letters depends not only on what you say but also on how you say it. Always choose ____________ language in referring to a complaint.

Ref: Choose neutral or positive language in referring to a complaint. Page No 92

d. Ready money


Ref: Credit is the instrument which enables manufactures producer’s retailers and obtains goods at a time when they can be used or sold even if ready cash is not available.

a. Collection
b. Credit
c. Adjustment
d. Claim


Ref:  Collection Letters: No matter how carefully a company chooses its credit customers, there will be times when a bill goes unpaid and steps to collect must be taken. The problem when writing a collection letter is how to get payment and at the same time keep a customer. The writer of a collection letter wants to get the money owed and maintain goodwill. Page No 100
