Compare and contrast the balanced scorecard utilized by the British Airport Authority (BAA) at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5 project with the standard quadrants typically applied in a traditional BSC approach.

After reading this article, write an essay in:

which you compare and contrast the balanced scorecard utilized by the British Airport Authority (BAA) at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5 project with the standard quadrants typically applied in a traditional BSC approach (financial focus, Internal focus, Learning and Growth focus, and Customer focus).

That is to say, the Terminal 5 project was a large, public construction project using private contractors. Yet, the BSC approach is also applied to the manufacturing sector, health care sector, and is applied in both private and public organizations. So you’ll want to consider how the Terminal 5 project adapted the BSC approach to fit the prevailing circumstances to help formulate your arguments.

Assignment Expectations

In formulating your essay you need to discuss to what degree the evidence suggests the balanced scorecard approach is amenable to most organizations.

Introduction: In this part of your essay you will need to introduce your topic and provide a very brief overview of the key points you plan to make in your paper.

Analysis: In this section you will present the actual comparison and contrast between BAA’s approach to the Balanced Scorecard and more traditional approaches.

Demonstrate your ability to apply ethics to your future career in a health care setting by creating a statement and story of your professional ethics and the story behind your ethical perspective.

Option #1: Personal Ethics Statement: Statement and Story

Demonstrate your ability to apply ethics to your future career in a health care setting by creating a statement and story of your professional ethics and the story behind your ethical perspective.

This statement and associated story should clearly identify your “ethics bottom line” and be suitable for framing or use as a poster. Creativity is encouraged, so be free to express yourself visually as well as in writing. Be sure that your statements are complete sentences and are free from grammatical and spelling errors.

Support your ethics statement with a one-page support document that explains its origins and presents your story. This document can be single-spaced but must not exceed one page. Your document should elucidate why you chose the items that were included in your statement. It should also reflect how you applied your learning in the course to what you have written.

Describe a workplace problem that could be investigated by an industrial/organizational (I/O) professional.

Assignment 2: Formulating a Research Question

“How do you measure a potato?” That is the legendary question that Endel Tulving is said to have used to stump his first-year psychology graduate students (Ellsworth & Gonzalez, 2003). The students would come up with a wide variety of creative answers: You can weigh it, compute its volume, measure the water content, describe its chemical properties, and others. This list would grow quite long until, eventually, students would have the hoped-for lightbulb moment: You can’t accurately measure something until you have clearly expressed what it is that you want to know about it. In other words, you can’t design an appropriate research project until you have composed a specific research question.

Tasks:

Describe a workplace problem that could be investigated by an industrial/organizational (I/O) professional.
Formulate a research question related to the workplace problem that you identified. Use the following questions as a guideline for help in formulating your final research question:
What is the specific problem?
What is the evidence of the problem? (Hint: Cite professional or scholarly sources here to support your position.)
What do you suspect is causing the problem?
Is the research question clearly expressed, without being too general or too narrow?
Does the question relate to the identified problem?
Is it possible or realistic to be able to design a research project that will answer the research question?
Will your proposed research question, if answered, add to the body of knowledge in the industrial/organizational (I/O) field? In other words, has a similar research project already been published?
