Prepare a white paper that analyzes a specific performance management related problem in an organization. Preferably, this organization will be the one in which you currently or recently worked.  Note the key words specific problem and analyzes.  This paper may be different from many past papers in two key ways.  First, it is written as a business white paper rather than in an academic style.  Second, it is written for the CEO or other key decision maker in the organization. It is not to be a description or history of events or a general treatment of a concept.  Do not include information that would be unnecessary for this person, such as the history of the organization.This assignment is modeled after White Papers which are created in organizations to address particular problems and generate solutions.

This requires analysis of a performance management related problem in an organization.  Build a compelling argument that the problem is serious enough to require organizational resources to solve.  Follow this up with a set of recommendations that will solve the problem.  The argument for these recommendations must be supported logically by what you discover in your analysis.

Deliverable #1 – Paragraph description of your intention for the paper. This is a one paragraph description of your intention for the paper.  This paragraph should identify the organization, your problem-related question you expect to answer, your chosen concept, and a statement about how this concept will help you answer your question. (1 paragraph)

Deliverable #2

1.    Problem Statement – A brief statement of a specific performance management related problem in a particular organization. Identify the costs, financial and others, of the organization not solving this problem.  Create a compelling argument on behalf of your view of the problem. Conclude this section with a clear question that you wish to answer through this paper.  Write this question in the form of an open-ended question rather than one that can be answered with a yes or no.

2.         Concept – Description of a concept chosen from the Key Concept List (attached) and how you expect this concept to help you successfully complete this analysis.  Include a statement about why you believe this concept will help you answer your question.  Present your concept in a form that will be useful in framing the analysis. (Do not present all you know about the concept.  Demonstrate your knowledge of the concept and its elements by the effective way you present how you will use the concept to answer your question.)  Reflect in this section how this concept will provide a more useful view of the problem by using. What questions do you want to ask, using the concept, which will help you answer your question? Remember to use the elements of the concept to  help you identify useful questions.  This is the section where your peer reviewed journal articles can help you better understand your chosen concept and/or how to use it for analysis.  Consider this section as your plan of action – what steps will you take to complete your analysis?  This is not the section to provide descriptive information about your organization.

Deliverable #3

1.     Analysis – Systematically ask the concept-framed question developed in the Concept Section to learn what is being done well and what could be improved.  Answer your questions and draw conclusions from your answers.  Do not introduce additional concepts in this section.  If an additional concept is valuable, integrate it in a revised concept section.  End this section with a list of conclusions you have drawn from your analysis.  Collectively, these conclusions should directly answer your open-ended question and provide a foundation for your specific, actionable recommendations.  In summary, this analysis section should be an execution of your plan developed in your concept section. (4 pages)

2.    Recommendations – From what you have learned in your analysis, make recommendations for specific action that would improve the handling of the situation.  These should address the problem presented in the first section..  A definite thread should be seen from the question to the concept to the analysis to your recommendations.  They should be readily identifiable, not buried in the midst of paragraphs.  Remember, as a manager, you are expected to be able to understand situations and determine specific action to take.  This is where you demonstrate you can identify specific, actionable recommendations. The work in the paper, to this point, should have created a compelling argument on behalf of your recommendations. (1 page)

3.   Evaluation – Review your problem-solving process.  In what ways did you find your definition of the problem useful in solving it?  What were the strengths and weaknesses of your choice of concept?  If you chose more than one concept, how well were you able to use an integration of these concepts to frame your analysis?  How might you have integrated them differently?  Is there another concept or two that might have been equally or more useful?  Which ones and why?  In what ways were you able to draw new conclusions about the problem through using this process? (1 page)

4.   Learning – The final section to this paper is not a typical conclusion.  Do not summarize your paper.  That is not necessary.  This section is an opportunity to reflect on you personal learning.  Write a brief statement about what you learned about Performance Management from completing this paper (1 page)

To have a better understanding of how secondary analysis works in research, one must have a clear understanding of what secondary analysis is. Secondary analysis is “the reanalysis of data collected by another researcher or organization, including the analysis of data sets collated from a variety of sources to create time-series or area-based data sets” (Shi, 2008, p. 461). The article that I have found in the Keiser Online Library regarding secondary analysis as it relates to the ethical, logistical, and cost of true data needed for research purposes to compare or process new data as other questions are needing answers and the data can either be qualitative or quantitative (Ruth, 2018). While secondary data can be cost effective in terms of starting from scratch there are several other advantages such as reanalyzing the data to come up with other variables to answer other important questions and the fact that secondary data is non-reactive and subjects will act more naturally as opposed to initially starting the process. Another plus is that secondary data analysis can be used in conjunction with other data to reach a conclusion or it can be used by itself (Ruth, 2018). Just like all things secondary data analysis in research has its disadvantages such as the researcher having no control over how the data needed is to be collected as they would in the initial process, the quality of the data may not be efficient enough to conduct a secondary analysis, and not knowing if the data collected is really random or if it is biased (Ruth, 2018). Meta-analysis is another type of secondary data that is used to synthesize the results of existing multiple qualitative research studies, so “even when the results of a study show statistical significance, the hypothesis still may not be true” (Ruth, 2018). Which is why it is a good idea to use both secondary analysis and combine it with other primary analysis data to get the desired outcome.

This week you will prepare a 1-2 page report evaluating the validity and reliability of a peer-reviewed research study as it applies to an application of research conclusions. Validity and reliability of measurement are discussed in Chapter 12 in your text, beginning on page 295. Focus on the methodology of the study, not the topic of the article. Two articles are available in Course Resources. Choose ONE article only and submit your 1-2 page report to the Week 3 Assignment link. Include specific examples from the course readings to support your writing. Cite all references in proper APA 6th edition style.
