You have kicked off the District 4 Production Warehouse Move project, your contractors are in place and working on receiving the proper building permits.

You originally were told the permits would only take 2 weeks to obtain but the contractors are telling you it will now take 3 weeks. You need to build the additional week into your schedule for each permit that will be obtained.

In addition, your framing and drywall contractors have just told you they are running late on their other jobs and can only release half their crew for your project. This will double their schedule.

Build the extra time into your schedule by doubling the installation work timelines for both the framing and drywall. Your project plan should also be updated with the new 3-week timeline for obtaining permits. Use the project plan you created for this task.

You are now looking at an extended project delivery date. Your project sponsor was very clear that you must be done in a 4 month timeframe so you will need to look at options for reducing your schedule to fit into the 4 month window.

You have an option of hiring another contractor to help with the framing and drywall work but it will increase your budget by $200,000.

Determine your best course of action for bringing this project in on schedule and update your project plan to reflect your recommendation. Develop a 5-6 slide presentation for senior management outlining your proposed solution. You are seeking approval to proceed with your new plan.

Submit both your updated project plan and PowerPoint presentation.

Your main webpage must have the following:

1 A few headings which may be in a couple of places in the page. 

2 A link to a fictitious email address.

3 A link to the COMP 1001 course home page.

4 A horizontal rule (i.e. a line) at the bottom of the page.

5 Make sure that at least one picture is on the page somewhere (try to use a small one).  You can have many.

6 Choose several different colors for text and graphics.

7 A link to your topics page in Part2.

Save the file as mypage.html in notepad. Note avoid having the double extension .txt.html

Note that you can open the file using Firefox or any browser to see how the page looks.  You can do this often while creating the page after saving the page. You may have to use “reload” to get the latest version of your HTML file.

Part 2: Create the second page: a topics page (16 POINTS)

1. Create another file named rembrandt.html.

2. The topic will be “The Mill” by the Painter Rembrandt van Rijn. It is at the National Gallery in Washington.  Using the web search tool of your choice, search for web pages using the description of your topic as search words (Use three keywords in a single search). Find at least three pages at different sites.

3. The web pagerembrandt.html should have:

1 A title indicating the topic.

2 At least one appropriate heading.

3 At least one paragraph of text related to your topic.

4 An ordered list of at least 3 links to the other pages (links that you’ve found using your search).

5 An Italicized and a bolded keywords in the paragraph of text.

6 A link at the bottom of the page that points back to your homepage. Separate it from the rest of the page using a horizontal rule.

7 Before the list of links, in the HTML source file, include a comment with the URL of the web search engine that you used, and the exact keywords you used for the search.

8 Add a link from the topic page back to your home page.  Make sure the link text makes sense.

The new chief executive officer (CEO) of your company is a strong believer in the four functions of management theory. In preparation for a management meeting, he has asked you to write a report that he can use to explain the theory to his management team. In the report, he would like to see some specific examples of firms that practiced these four functions. For a company with which you are familiar, use each of the four functions to do the following:

• Assess how the overall management team performed in terms of the four functions of management, which are as follows:
  • Planning
  • Organizing
  • Leading
  • Controlling
• Identify and explain the strong points of the managers.
• Identify and explain areas in which improvement is needed.

If you do not have any firsthand experiences, ask friends or colleagues for anecdotes or search the Web for specific, real-life examples.

Specifically regarding the controlling function of management, answer the following questions:

• How did most employees feel about the monitoring of activities that managers put in place to monitor employee performance and overall company performance?
• How well was the need for control and monitoring explained to everyone before the controls were put in place?
• Did the controls have a meaningful impact on the overall department or company performance? Cite some specific examples.
