You are Joseph Dunn and as leader of Dunn's Ski Emporium wanting to purchase The Deli, you have work to do before entering into the possible addition of a business you know nothing about.

Your job is to design an organizational structure which fulfills the vision that you have and what you believe George has for The Deli, and will also fulfill its mission. Your organization must be open to change and possess a culture that will empower its employees to follow the vision that you have created. Remember like all good social architects your building must start with a design that suits the purpose of the business and seeks to make it the best building for the job. You should use your class materials and reading to help create the plan and reference them. All additional research should also be referenced. THIS PAPER IS THE ACTUAL PLAN FOR Joseph Dunn! IT IS NOT A "HE SHOULD DO THIS AND THAN THAT" PAPER.  Make the plan specific and be creative, add facts or people, to the scenario if that will help you make the plan come alive. Be sure to explain the steps you are taking and your reasons for do so. Use the terms in your reading and explain them..

Students will develop a plan, writing from a leader perspective.  Discuss the following:

• Joseph Dunn as a social architect - discuss Dunn's vision for the organization. 
• Joseph Dunn as an individual - what can he do to enhance his role as leader?
• Joseph Dunn as a change agent for the corporate environment?  What steps should Dunn take for short-term change?  For long-term change?
• Create a vision statement and a mission statement for the organization?
• Explain how Joseph Dunn will create an organizational culture that supports his vision? 
• Based on your leadership plan, discuss how Dunn might integrate the role the managers have to strengthen his vision.
• Discuss the critical elements that must be in place for Dunn to be successful in this new venture;
• Students are expected to be creative but realistic in developing the leadership plan using the resources provided.  Students may also research beyond the material provided in the course. 
• No dictionary or encyclopedia definition or use of wiki files;
• Remember, you are writing from the leader's perspective and are not solving problems but working toward developing an environment in which problems will be resolved.

Your plan should consist of the following steps:

Question 1: Evaluate the organization's purpose and goals (is the business non-profit or does it sell widgets) (It is recommended that you create a list of what the company does)

Question 2: Develop vision and mission statements

Question 3: Design an organizational structure (autocratic, democratic, laissez-faire, bureaucratic)

Question 4: Design an organizational culture that complements the organizational structure and organizational goals (market, hierarchical, clan, adhocracy)

Question 5: Assess the environment for change in your plan.  Is there a mechanism built in to the organizational structure and culture to facilitate change?
