Complete an analysis of the key EXTERNAL  factors that have implications for successful implementation of the united states postal service (USPS) vision, mission and objectives(VMO), strategy and goals/objectives. You will examine USPS industry and the competitive conditions/positioning affecting it now or likely to do so in the future.  REPORT SHOULD BE an approximate 2,000-word double-spaced APA-formatted paper. The title page, reference list, and any appendices are not included in this suggested word count. You do not need to include an abstract.Your paper should address these topics:

  1. A brief explanation of the industry or industries in which the united states postal service operates as well as context for USPS current positioning.
  2. Analyze the current conditions in the united states postal service and in its relevant general environment and their likely implications for successful implementation of USPS strategic goals and related actions. Be sure to address the PESTEL framework.
  3. Apply Porter’s Five-Forces Model to enrich your understanding of the environment in which your organization is now or may be operating. The Five Forces model should stress that this model is used to evaluate the industry, not your selected organization’s activities. The model should be used to isolate the dominant force(s) in the industry faced by all competitors and that produce the greatest threat to your organization’s profits and/or strategy. You should discuss how your firm can provide a defense against this threat or threats.
  4. Describe USPS strategic group and construct a map to show its relative market position. Add in a discussion of your rationale for the grouping.
  5. Summarize the threats and opportunities facing USPS gleaned from your analysis. (SWOT analysis) Submit the SWOT format in Table form and add in some narrative to discuss the threats and opportunities in more detail. Explain in your discussion (not in the table) why you selected them and how they relate to the VMO and organization’s strategy.
  6. Evaluate the extent to which USPS current strategy appears a good match for the competitive conditions it confronts or any gaps that must be addressed.
  7. Add in a strong conclusion that ensures the reader leaves your paper with a clear recap of your key points.

Please write 1 to 2 pages of an operating plan for Google, INC. and fill in the required date below:

Implementation. (Read, then delete: Note that this section anticipates likely internal challenges that will be faced as reactions to the AHROP during the implementation and then plans briefly for them, using the 3 categories identified. First, provide a comprehensive introduction with appropriate academic citations to explain this, i.e., that there are always things that happen when change is implemented, because people react. *NOTE: the implementation phase is roughly the week during which the launch occurs.).

5.1. Constraints. (Read, then delete: This section is 1-2 paragraphs and anticipates and identifies likely internal barriers, roadblocks and challenges that may get in the way of the HR plan launch at Google, INC., and then, right here, plans for how to address these likely constraints to mitigate them).

5.2. Collaboration. (Read, then delete: This section recognizes that HR cannot implement their plan without the involvement of others at Google INC., and so it plans for opportunities to create buy-in and support, builds trust, shared ownership, build teams and/or camaraderie, etc. This is part of the plan, so specific groups or departments are identified with a plan for how they will support the implementation of the AHROP).

5.3. Communications. (Read, then delete: This is essential a mini-communications plan for the implementation of the AHROP. This section plans for timely and carefully crafted messaging throughout the implementation of the AHROP during its different phases, to ensure that everyone who needs to know what is going on is informed at the right time).

6. Measurement and Assessment. (Read, then delete: Provide a general introduction with appropriate academic citations to explain the key concepts to readers of the plan about the use of metrics and their utilization, monitoring and reporting. Be sure to discuss the purpose and value of having measurements at Google, INC. and be sure to explain that HR has three specific categories of metrics – unlike companies that have four – then provide a transition into the discussion of HR metrics.).

6.1. HR Metrics. (Write a brief introduction for the reader of this plan that explains the value and use of metrics by the Corporate HR  to assess the progress and status of the AHROP, and be sure to explain that HR has three specific categories of metrics – unlike companies that have four).

6.1.1 Routine HR Metrics (Read, then delete: Write a brief introduction, then discuss the HR Routine Metrics chosen for the BSC).

6.1.2 HR Strategy Metrics (Read, then delete: Write a brief introduction, then discuss the HR Strategy Metrics chosen for the BSC).

6.1.2 Organizational Oversight Metrics (Read, then delete: Read, then delete: Write a brief introduction, then discuss what Organizational Oversight Metrics are, i.e., necessary metrics that the C-suite uses to run the organization, but metrics that NO department owns, not even HR, so they are assigned based on the fact that HR is familiar with many aspects of these metrics which tend to include people elements, e.g., Organizational Knowledge, Organizational Effectiveness, and Organizational Capacity).

6.2. Reports Metrics to the Organization. – short about 1-2 paragraphs.

  1. Write a summary of the case,
  2. Answer the critical thinking questions, and
  3. Elaborate on two key learnings from the case related to recruitment, selection, and legal considerations. Be sure to clearly state the two key learnings and defend them in well-organized, scholarly responses.

A key learning is defined as significant knowledge gained from reading the case. You may choose to explain your key learnings by offering a real-world application, personal insight, your thoughts and opinions about what was stated, how it is handled at your company, etc.

Please arrange your summary, questions, and key learnings in a well-organized, scholarly response of 2-3 pages. Include a title page and references page which are not included in the page count.

Evaluation criteria will include:

  1. appropriateness of recruitment sources
  2. links between job description and selection assessments

Imagine that you have been tasked with creating a training and development program for midlevel business managers in an organization (you can use your actual organization or one that you create). A midlevel manager is defined as a manager of managers. You have to present your proposed training program to your supervisor. To do this, you must decide on a training model, conduct a needs analysis, write learning objectives, and create the content of the training. For your assignment, you will create a 12- to 14-slide presentation (not counting the title and reference slides) that includes specific information as

outlined below.

The topic of the training can be any subject relevant to a midlevel manager that we covered in the course, such as how to deliver real-time coaching feedback, how to communicate unfavorable news to employees (e.g., compensation status changes), or how to communicate that a complaint has been made against an employee concerning harassment. If you are unsure that your topic is appropriate, contact your professor for approval.

Be sure to include the information below in your PowerPoint presentation.

Discuss your selected training process model, and describe why you recommend this model.

Explain the steps you would have taken to conduct a needs analysis.

State how this training links to the organizational objectives.

Provide a sample of two measurable course objectives (from input objectives through impact objectives).

Present one of the program’s completed modules. For example, this should be one or two of the objectives that inform or

engage the participants in an activity.

Be sure to cite any sources used in a reference slide with proper APA style. In addition, a minimum of one academic source that was not used in the Unit III Lesson or listed in required reading must be used, cited, and referenced. If you need assistance, the CSU library staff can help you with your research for this assignment. You may also use the slide notes function to explain slide contents as necessary, but this is not required.
