Assignment Details and Rubric
Unit 7 [140: Introduction to Management] This week’s Assignment consists of reading a scenario about Sandwich Blitz, Inc. and writing about
how self-managed teams could be used at Sandwich Blitz to allow Dalman more time to devote to
growing the business. Lately, Dalman has mostly been visiting the operating locations and addressing manager operations
concerns. Lei has concentrated on financial matters. Both Dalman and Lei are pleased with Sandwich
Blitz’s past performance but feel that they are each unable to devote their time and energy to take the
business to the next level. All of their time seems to be spent addressing small problems within the
existing operation. Dalman has heard that other businesses have successfully used a team approach
to managing with good results and wonders if this could help him as well as the location managers. After reading the scenario above, the section on “Self-managed Teams” in your assigned textbook
readings and completing the practice Learning Activities, type a paper in which you explain the
difference between traditional and team work environments, how self-managed teams could be
successfully implemented at Sandwich Blitz, and how these teams could contribute to Sandwich
Blitz’s success. This Assignment addresses the following unit outcomes:
? Distinguish between traditional versus team environments.
? Describe how teams contribute to an organization’s effectiveness.
