The Executive Director will be working with the consulting group and they will assist with putting together this plan. The final plan will be laid out as outlined below and developed in two phases.

Section I – Executive Summary
Section II – Environmental Analysis
Section III – Goals and Objectives
Section IV – Competitive Analysis
Section V – Description of Organizational Structure and Culture
Section VI – Breakdown of Product and Services
Section VII – Human Resources Plan
The business strategy will provide the organization an opportunity to explain the goals and objectives of the new division and help with the development of the strategy to achieve them. The plan will allow the company to gain insight into the current status of the industry it is venturing into using internal and external analysis tools, and then use this analysis to design its division’s business environment. In addition, the plan will be used to form the team that will bring the vision for this division to reality.
Instructions for Completing Project
These final sections will finalize the strategy the group from Expert Foods Consultants has been assisting the Melanie and the New Executive Director with. Although you typically would be combining all three phases into one document, for the purpose of this work, you will on present the parts identified above.
You will need the Great Start Nutrition Company Profile to complete the analysis.
Step 1: Course Material
Although you are required to research information for this project, you are also accountable for using the course material to support the ideas, reasoning and conclusions made. Course material use goes beyond defining terms but is used to explain the ‘why and how’ of a situation. Using one or two in-text citations from the course material and then relying on Internet source material will not earn many points on an assignment. A variety of source material is expected and what is presented must be relevant and applicable to the topic being discussed. Avoid merely making statements but close the loop of the discussion by explaining how something happens or why something happens, which focuses on importance and impact. In closing the loop, you will demonstrate the ability to think clearly and rationally showing an understanding of the logical connections between the ideas presented in a case scenario, the course material and the question(s) being asked.
Step 2: Description of the Organizational Structure
Step 3: Cultural Complexities
Step 4: Breakdown of Products and Services
Step 5: Human Resource Plan
A human resource plan will allow the director of the new Asia division to identify the future human resource needs for the organization. The director has asked Mayberry Consultants to evaluate the product line identified and conduct market analysis to determine possible man power needs for the product manufacturing and all management and supervisory roles (to include all levels of management). The management levels should have been identified in the Description of Organizational Structure section of this strategy, but the resource needs in manufacturing will need to be considered. Remember the only person currently hired for the new facility is the Executive Director so there will need to be Assistant Executive Directors (AED) for the other areas identified in the Structure such as Marketing and R&D. Each of the AED’s will need to have staff as well; you will need to identify how each AED will be provided staff. Will they identify and interview themselves or will HR be a part of the hiring process. The Organizational Chart is also a part of the HR plan so ensure that a revised organizational chart is placed in this section for reference.
Training is a key to retention in business today; employees like to feel they are important to the organization and investment in their competencies shows commitment to them. So, consider what the new division will need to do to ensure they are keeping the best talent they find.
Evaluation is another way organizations can show their commitment to employees. How will the new division conduct employee evaluations based on what is common in the area that the Mayberry Consultants identified? This will require a level of research in common HR practices in that region.
You needs to remember that this is a brand new division that will be selling products that Great Start Nutrition currently is not involved in so all aspects of business will need to be considered. Remember there is no perfect HR Plan, just plans that work and plans that do not. Good plans consider the employee and the culture around them just as important as the organization itself.
Step 6: Executive Summary
The Executive Summary will be the first section of the paper but should be written last since it will highlight what is intended for discussion in the rest of the strategy. A good executive summary is compelling. It reveals the company’s mission statement, along with a short description of the products Great Start Nutrition will provide at the launch of the new division. It is also necessary to briefly explain why Great Start Nutrition is starting the new division and include details about Great Start Nutrition’s experience related to the industry the company is entering. This requires integration of key information from the exercises as well as Project 1.
