As a business strategy professor, you are tasked with developing an assessment method for a capstone project where students analyze a strategic turnaround of a struggling company. Design a case study evaluation that requires students to submit a detailed report and presentation. In the report, students should outline the initial challenges faced by the company, strategic interventions employed, and the outcomes of these strategies. They must also include a section on alternative strategies that could have been employed. For the presentation, students should prepare a 15-minute pitch arguing why their proposed strategies would be effective, supported by data and theoretical frameworks. Include a rubric that assesses students on critical thinking, application of theoretical knowledge, creativity in problem-solving, and presentation skills.

You are teaching Organizational Behavior and want to assess your students' understanding of conflict resolution techniques in a corporate setting. Develop a role-play exercise where students act out a scenario involving a significant conflict within a team, including members from diverse backgrounds and conflicting interests. Each student must assume a specific role within the team and advocate for their position while also contributing to a resolution. Following the role-play, require students to write a reflection paper discussing the conflict dynamics, their personal role, strategies employed to manage the conflict, and lessons learned about effective communication and negotiation in a business environment. Create a grading rubric that focuses on students' analytical skills, engagement in role-playing, effectiveness in conflict resolution, and reflective insights.

As a professor of Financial Management, create a simulation-based assessment to evaluate students on their ability to manage a corporate financial crisis. Provide students with a simulated business environment where they must make a series of financial decisions to steer a company through various challenges, such as sudden market downturns, changes in regulatory frameworks, or unexpected financial losses. Students should submit a portfolio of their decisions, including rationales and expected outcomes based on financial theories and models. They must also participate in a group discussion to defend their decisions and propose future strategies based on potential scenarios. Develop criteria for the assessment that measure decision-making skills, application of financial concepts, adaptability to changing conditions, and ability to articulate and defend financial strategies.

You are the Dean of a business school looking to refine your institution's strategic direction in response to emerging educational trends and market demands. Organize a strategic planning workshop involving key faculty members, administrative staff, and student representatives.

Conclude with a collaborative session to draft a revised strategic plan that includes specific goals, timelines, and assigned responsibilities.

As a Dean, develop a new initiative aimed at increasing alumni engagement with your business school. This initiative should include a series of targeted activities such as exclusive webinars, mentoring programs for current students, and alumni spotlight features in the school newsletter. Plan an annual 'Alumni Week' with events that bring alumni back to campus or involve them virtually, offering opportunities to connect with faculty and students and engage with the school's current projects and achievements. Outline a communication strategy to promote these activities effectively among alumni, leveraging social media platforms and email campaigns.

You are the Dean tasked with overseeing the innovation of your business school's curriculum to incorporate cutting-edge topics such as artificial intelligence, sustainable business practices, and global economic shifts. Conduct a review of the current curriculum in consultation with industry experts, faculty, and students to identify gaps and opportunities for inclusion of these topics. Design a plan to integrate new courses and modules that address these areas, ensuring they are interwoven effectively with the core curriculum. Additionally, set up a pilot program to test these new modules in select classes, gathering feedback to iterate and improve upon them.
