this is a group assignment, the total length is four to five pages, but you only need to finish my part which is one page, and follow the instruction below please.
Listen (or read the transcript) to This American Life, episode 561: NUMMI 2015, which can be found at the following link: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/561/nummi-2015
Drawing upon relevant theories from lectures and readings, write a four to five-page analysis of the change efforts made at NUMMI and General Motors. You should clearly address the following questions in your analysis:
- What accounted for NUMMI’s success? What kinds of changes were made at the plant, and how were these changes successfully implemented?
- What were some of the obstacles to organizational change at GM in terms of adopting NUMMI practices companywide?
- what could GM done differently? (this is my part, only need to answer this part, write it as the body part of an article, don’t write intro and conclusion, and one page long is enough)
Here are some guidelines and tips for your analysis:
- Do not just restate case facts. Rather, you should use information from the case to support your analysis, which should be explicitly based upon theory learned from the course thus far.
- Make sure you clearly define and explain specific concepts and frameworks.
- You may organize the paper how you see fit, but there should be a brief introduction and conclusion. The use of headers may help in organizing your analysis.
Formatting requirements:
- The write-up should be four to five pages. This does not include the title page, which must include the names of all group members.
- The analysis should be in paragraph format.
- All text should be double spaced, using 12 point Times New Roman font and 1 inch page margins.
You may not use or search for any outside information. All you need is the textbook, lecture notes, and the broadcast itself. Do not use verbatim text from the book (use quotes if you are referring to a specific passage in the case or textbook, but quoted passages should be used sparingly).
