In this 6th Weeks' PA 2 assignment, we are requested to investigate the case study of Conifer Corp.
and write about the symptoms of the problems, their
causes, and the steps to take to remedy the problem that has developed in Conifer Corp. So, to support my PA 2 assignment answer, I used six peer- reviewed articles, which are briefly explained below.
Article 1 Title The role of packaging within marketing and value creation (Rundh, 2016) Summary of the article This article discusses the importance of packaging and how it aids in attracting customers to a market. According to this article, packaging serves a variety of purposes, including convenience, product protection, transportation comfort, and often environmental responsibility. According to this article, well packaged protection attracts customers since it conveys a high-quality image to the client, helping the company to preserve its brand image. When the packaging is done well, the product stands out among its competition.
Use in the assignment As a result, this article will be used in my forthcoming assignment to demonstrate how Conifer Corp. can get the importance of packaging and how it affects consumers' buying patterns, hence increasing value creation and controlling the company's brand image.
Article 2 Title Boredom in the Workplace (Cummings et.al., 2015) Summary of the article According to this article, it is normal for people to become complacent at work, which leads to increased errors, lower productivity, and irrelevant consequences. The objective of this article is to discuss how boredom is caused in the job by feelings of being overworked, a lack of supervision, or not understanding what duties to perform. This article also addresses the issue of boredom and offers suggestions for how to keep people focused on their task.
Use in the assignment As a result, this article will be used in my PA 2 assignment to demonstrate how staff at Conifer's packaging department are likely to feel complacent since no person in authority is present, resulting in lower productivity and reckless behavior. Article 3 Title Identity, Supervision, and Work Groups (Akerlof & Kranton, 2008) Summary of the article The relevance of individual monitoring in the workplace is discussed in this article. The role of the supervisor, according to this article, is to monitor employee actions, develop communication norms for the team, and keep the team organized, resulting in higher production. Employees are more motivated to work ethically and are focused on the work when supervisors maintain track of them.
