This essay needs to stay within 3-4 pages and I have attached the assignment overview. My main issue has been keeping everything with a paragraph – the essay in total needs to be only 6 paragraphs. I sent in my essay for review and here is what my professor responded with:
“Overall, this is a very solid draft. I do have a few recommendations for improvement.
1. You referenced Bud Martin, but didn’t use his name directly. Be sure to include him and discussing financial decisions at Tower. Also, discuss how his relationship with Russ enabled the company to be successful for so long (ying and yang way of decision-making)
2. In your conversation about culture, be sure to mention sexism and gender at Tower. Also, what do you make of “hand truck fuel” use among staff and condoning of partying. Was this okay? Did this foster team cohesiveness? Was it part of the rock ‘n roll lifestyle? Or was it all bad for Tower?
3. You’ll want to make sure to discuss a bit more about Tower’s downfall. You mentioned tech lockout, but what about their international investments? What went wrong there. And what sort of strategy did they need to enter when the bank took them over?
4. Finally, be sure to identify how Tower approached the trade-off between process and structure. Was Tower very process oriented? (hint: YES!) What did the lack of structure (which people in fixed positions and a rigid hierarchy) enable Tower to do successfully and what was the drawbacks to it.”
I have met the textbook work requirement but feel free to take out words and replace them, there only needs to be 16 and I did more than that so you have wiggle room or you can even add some. So long as there’s 16 total I don’t mind what you do, but I have included the textbook glossary if you need it.
I would have uploaded the video here but the file is way too big, here is a google drive link:
