Overview of Summative:
In this assessment, you will develop a case study research report based upon the examples you have reviewed and mirroring the methodology of one you select as a model. The case study will assess the leadership challenges of the organization you have selected and determine the best strategy to overcome the challenges while maintaining or improving market position and competitiveness based upon the information that is accessible to you.
A case study research report includes a review of the literature, theoretical and/or conceptual framework, and an outcome or conclusion based on the evaluation included within the report. Throughout this program you have been reading articles on case studies about leadership. Now it is your turn to combine what you have learned with your assessment of leadership styles, leadership issues, and strategies by providing a review of the literature and an in-depth evaluation of the styles, issues, and challenges of global leaders. As you choose the organization to evaluate, please keep in mind you need to have the necessary data to communicate the challenges and market position/competitiveness. Keep in mind that you will use the methodology of one of the case studies you reviewed during the literature review.
Within the deliverable itself you will practice a level of research, analysis, and evaluation similar to portions of your dissertation; however, this will not be that length or depth yet. In your case study, you will assess the leadership challenges of the organization(s) of your choice. Through your research you will analyze the executive leadership strategies demonstrated within the organization(s) and document the best strategies used by these organization(s) to overcome challenges while maintaining or improving market position and competitiveness. Your conclusions should be informed significantly by the literature review you have already completed on the theories and practices of effective executive leadership and the professional literature on the practices used in your organizational research completed in this competency.
