New Dunkin’ Donuts Locations Paper
Case Study: Opening Your New Dunkin’ Donuts Locations
Class,
TIPS:
Heads-up... I see a lot of misinterpretations in the Week 2 assignment. I hope this helps clarify. The assignment this week asks you to explain the job design and organizational design you would choose for your district of Dunkin’ Donuts. Please apply the three tips below for a better grade. Tip 1: Address ALL of the following Job Design Your job design should be for at least three (3) different positions reporting to you (directly or indirectly). For example, you might choose three of the following:
• store managers • assistant store managers • shift managers • trainers • crewmembers
For each of the positions you choose to include, explain how you would design their jobs in each of the following areas:
• Job analysis: Conduct a job analysis for each position • Job description: Craft a job description for each position • Job specification: Complete a job specification for each position
Organizational Design What would the authority-responsibility relationships look like? (section 3.4) Which organizational structure would you use for your district? (section 3.5) We’ll discuss organizational structure in our discussion forum this week, so keep this in mind. The following structures are:
• Simple • Machine Bureaucracy • Professional Bureaucracy • Divisional • Adhocracy
