Module 5 ? Case (TOYOTA)
Strategic Management: Strategy Implementation
Strategic Implementation
The implementation of a strategy is one of the most important parts of the strategic management process. Most of the strategies tend to fail because of the poor implementation. In this case, we will be looking at the top management team at Toyota and analyze how they use structure, controls, and culture to implement their strategy and fulfill their corporate mission.
Please read the information in the background material, look for more information, and then write a five-page report for your professor by answering the following questions:
1. Do you think that the implementation of Toyota's current strategies identified in its 2011 Annual Report and on its web page will help to overcome the public relations difficulties resulting from the recall issues reported by the media in 2010? (Take Positive side)
2. Identify two or more strategies that Toyota is presently taking to win back its loyal customer base and argue whether you believe these strategies are working or not based on Toyota's organizational structure, culture, and controls. Are they succeeding at this endeavor? Pay special attention to Toyota's values and culture in your discussion.
NOTE: Please note that your report/assignment will not be accepted without proper citations and references. You must use the sources from the background material together with the sources you find your own.
Case Instructions:
Step 1: After reviewing the background materials on strategy and structure, controls, and culture, read the following article:
Shirouzu, N. (2010). Inside Toyota, executives trade blame over debacle. Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition), p. A.1. Retrieved August, 2011, from library portal via coursenet.
Step 2: Research the company to get information about the structure, controls, and culture of Toyota from the company perspective.
Toyota. (2012). Annual Report 2011. Retrieved August, 2012 from http://www.toyota-global.com/investors/ir_library/annual/pdf/2011/

Using provided information please create Mobile Device Management Change Initiative Plan, outlining a multi-dimensional mobile device management initiative that addresses techniques for mitigating the identified risk. These techniques may be based on tools, policy, employee training, and so on. Also include your implementation schedule and plan for engaging senior management sponsorship of the initiative and communicating the initiative throughout the organization.

The most obvious wild card in the change management game is the individual user of a system. Although change management methodologies are effective in controlling known changes, individual behavior with respect to technology is harder to anticipate. The adoption of mobile technology is a case in point. As organizations accommodate staff use of corporate- or personally-owned computing devices for business purposes, it is important to understand the type of information that may be shared with third parties through commonly used applications. Examine the graphic developed by Wall Street Journal experts in the article Your Apps are Watching You, and consider how this would inform organizational policy on mobile device use and management.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704694004576020083703574602.html

Research how your colleagues throughout the organization use mobile devices to perform work-related activities. Review the policy or employee guidelines in place at your organization with respect to acceptable use of corporate resources.

A new client of your security consulting firm is worried about the potential for data leaks that could expose it to financial losses as well as a damaged reputation. The client recently read a front-page story about a negligence lawsuit arising out of a data leak that exposed confidential client information. The source of the data leak was a peer-to-peer file sharing application that had been installed on an employees desktop computer. An initial quick-look security assessment found that your clients concerns were well founded. At least one department (Marketing) was using a similar peer-to-peer file-sharing application to distribute promotional videos and audio podcasts to potential customers. Your team leader has asked you to prepare a short technology evaluation paper (deliverable) in which you address one of the problem areas (a or b) identified in the quick-look assessment:

A: Data: Identify and provide an assessment of the risks associated with collection, processing, and storage of confidential client information (loss of confidentiality).

B: Software: Identify and provide an assessment of the risks associated with unauthorized installation of file-sharing software on company computers, including servers, desktops, and laptops (loss of system integrity).

Use the provided matrix to categorize and assess the risks associated with your chosen option (a or b). Then research and evaluate three or more technology-based solutions that could provide effective protection measures. Use one row per technology solution.

Your technology evaluation paper must begin with an executive summary followed by your technology evaluation matrix. The executive summary should provide an overview of your risk assessment and evaluation. It should also provide additional information to help the client understand your recommended solution. Your summary should be concise??"approximately three pages long??"and include the following elements:

an explanation of the information security threats (risks) and vulnerabilities (in plain English) associated with your selected option (a or b above)

a comparison (compare/contrast) of the capabilities and weaknesses of the candidate technology-based solutions

a recommendation of the best fit technology-based solution to solve/mitigate the problem(s) associated with your selected option

Remember to present your findings and cite your sources in APA format and use only authoritative/scholarly sources such as journal articles, books, government documents, and other industry publications (e.g., trade journals or magazines for health care or security professionals).

Hugo attends a boards? meeting of Coco ltd. Helerans that therei is a world shortage of cocoa and the company is planning to place a large order of cocoa from Costa Rica. The directors are to decide at their meeting whether Coco Ltd should commence negotiations with companies in Costa Rica (including Brett and Sandra?s company) in order to acquire their cocoa.
Immediately following the director?s meeting in January 2013, Coco Ltd placed a very large order of cocoa to be shipped from Costa Rica to Australia. It was decided that the goods will be shipped uninsured as the cost of insurance from Costa Rica to australia was too high and Coco Ltd would not be able to sustain the cost. Coco Ltd paid 25% of the purchase price on placing the order and the balance was due within 3 months. The ship carrying the cocoa sank in the Syez Canal after a terrorist attack. Coco Ltd could not pay for the goods.

By early April 2013 the company?s financial position has deteriorated due to the sinking of the ship as the company has incurred further debts. The company continues trading until 31 May 2013, when the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) lodges a director penalty notice on the companys board of directors for failure to pay the company?s taxes (which means that the directors may be personally liable for the company?s tax obligations)

With reference to the above facts, Use the 4 steps method to answer the question

1. Advise the directors of Coco Ltd if they have any reason to be concerned under both the c and case law over not insuring the shipment of cocoa? (<1000 words
2. Is the company insolvent? (<500 words)
3. If Coco Ltd were insolvent what liability would the directors face? (<1000 words)
