Career Development Plan Summary
Imagine that you have recently been promoted to a midlevel management position, and your upper-level manager has revealed that your team will be restructured. Your team will take on new responsibilities that require the hiring of additional personnel and will require training for new and current employees. Your manager also wants to consider better methods for appraising the team's performance. Your task is to compose a proposal to be delivered to upper management regarding how this restructure will be designed and implemented.
You may choose to use your own company, with the approval of your instructor or department, as the context for this assignment. Alternatively, you may select a position at Kudler Fine Foods that would be appropriate for this assignment. The Kudler Fine Foods Virtual Organization is located in the materials section of your student Web site.
