Supporting Lectures:

Review the following lecture:

• Innovation through Change

Before beginning work on this discussion forum, please review the link “Doing Discussion Questions Right” and any specific instructions for this topic.

Before the end of the week, begin commenting on at least two of your classmates’ responses. You can ask technical questions or respond generally to the overall experience. Be objective, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language, even in criticism, to work toward the goal of positive progress. Submit your responses in the Discussion Area.

Introduction

Organizations rely on people to innovate. Innovation does not happen by itself. It takes effort, strategy, structure, and culture to innovate. Organizations must learn the steps to fostering an innovative culture that sometimes requires changing its culture, which can shift how work is done.

Tasks

Question 1:

Discuss how leaders are supporting the effort with resources (money) and why these efforts have failed to provide the returns expected.

Question 2:

Discuss the various aspects of creating an innovative company.

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Your initial posting should be addressed at 500–1000 words as noted in the attached PDF.

This final SLP assignment is going to provide you the opportunity to explore a challenge in the area of logistics. You have now gained an understanding of supply chains and issues that occur within a specific extended set of enterprises. And these enterprises all depend on infrastructure within the US and its cities for logistics and logistical support. The number 4 challenge on a list of ten, as reported by DC Velocity (http://www.dcvelocity.com/), is “The nation’s deteriorating infrastructure”.

from the portfolio I(file attached). go back and isolate 3 values that seem to “hit you in the face”—and write a full page on each of them (double-spaced, of course).  If you can’t get a full page on the value, it wasn’t much of a value!  This will be another 40% of your portfolio grade.  Then, write a full page on what you think abut each of these values.  This will be the last 20% of your portfolio grade.  You will submit them via Blackboard.
