Case Study 2

Background:
Case Study 2 is a comprehensive assessment of the procurement and contracting process. By the end of your analysis you should have touched on all aspects of the contracting process from plan purchases and acquisition stage through the select sellers phase.

Because you are outsourcing multiple business units you will have to think through each contracting piece for each business unit. For example, it may make sense to base your bid selection for the accounting portion off of lowest price but the evaluation criteria you would use on distribution might include price, range of distribution services, responsiveness, and number of bundling options.

Please read the following background document for additional details: Case Study 2

Terminal Course Objectives (TCOs)
All terminal course objectives studied up through Week 6 are being addressed in Case Study 2:

TCO 1: Given a specific project scope, a set of legal and management requirements, and the availability of internal resources, evaluate optional contract structures and recommend and justify the preferred structure for that given situation.

TCO 2. Given a simple procurement need and a complex project that requires one or more procurement activities, compare and contrast the scope and functions of contract procurement/management versus project management.

TCO 3. Given a specific project and its anticipated contract administration and project management requirements, create a procurement division of responsibilities matrix and a project division of responsibility matrix that consider the utilization of internal resources in order to define any external resources that will be required.

TCO 4. Given specific contract procurement conditions for a project, identify and evaluate the factors that influence a contract pricing strategy and recommend the strategy that is best suited for the given conditions.

TCO 5. Given certain contract objectives and related project requirements, formulate the sections of a project plan that specify the budget, schedule, and technical requirements for the contract.

TCO 6. Given the need to procure a major contract, select a set of management and commercial requirements that are appropriate for the size and complexity of the contract.

TCO 7. Given the need to solicit goods or services from external sources, consolidate all contract and, if applicable, project requirements into a checklist that will form the framework to guide the development of a Request for Proposals (RFP).

TCO 8. Given the award and execution of a contract, analyze and select effective management techniques to control quality, cost, schedule, and scope adherence to the associated requirements specified in the contract.

Resources
The weekly lectures and assigned readings serve as a starting point. Please be advised that considerable relevant material is also available on the Internet, so you might want to conduct a search for some materials that may yield insights into the procurement process that you will be undertaking. Remember to properly cite any outside information you use.

Submittal Format
Case Study 2 should be prepared in MS Word format suitable for electronic transmission. Any resources used beyond the ebook need to be cited in your document?INCLUDING links to relevant Web sites. Your document shall be written as an executive summary or bulleted list/tables clearing identifying your purpose, relevant data, decision-making / thought process, and conclusion. Your document will be your ?go-to? plan for your outsourcing process. Both you and your investing partner need to quickly and succinctly understand the steps you?ll undertake for contracting. This means have minimal paragraph-style text and instead introduce a variety of tables, graphs, and charts.

While this report should be fashioned as an executive summary, it does encompass the entire contracting process. As such it shall be between 8 and 12 pages single-sided pages in length, using 10 point Times New Roman font and 1.5 line spacing. The page requirements do NOT include any cover sheets you may include with your report.

Project Management Application: Construction - Final Project

You are required to apply the concepts studied throughout the module to a construction project of your choosing that has been executed or is in the process of being executed. You are encouraged to use situations and data from your own experience where possible. If you are not in a position to analyze a project for which you are personally familiar, you should begin your search for a suitable project. You are expected to use diverse sources of information and data to present an original analysis.

You will ?step in? as the Construction Project Manager working on behalf of the client and will analyze, assess and make recommendations based on the data you report. You should approach selecting and researching your project using a bottom-up approach. Such an approach will ensure that you have sufficient detail to address the components outlined below from the inception to commissioning and closeout. In essence, you will be creating a detailed case study of your selected project, applying the material covered throughout the module.

The Final Project document must include the following components and utilize narrative and graphical descriptions and analyses of the topics and data specified below:

Requirements for Final Project Report

1. Project proposal
2. Assess the competitive situation and the business need/business case for the project
3. Define the Scope of Work
4. Define the project organization, including design team roles and responsibilities and a stakeholder analysis/ map
5. Assess the legal and regulatory environment, including the applicable health, safety and environmental requirements
6. Evaluate/recommend the appropriate contracting processes, approaches, and documents
7. Describe information technology requirements and use/proposed use of technology infrastructure
8. Propose/describe the site organization
9. Assessment of risks and values inherent to the proposed approach
10. Propose/describe approaches to quality management and assurance
11. Describe procurement supply chain and the liabilities born by the organizations/individuals within
12. Describe/recommend commissioning, closeout and occupation procedures
13. Describe effective practices that should be continues on future projects of this type as well as recommendations for areas of improvement, including the consideration of more innovative, efficient approaches.

Final Draft of the Project should be a 3,500-word report, excluding bibliography and attachments that addresses the 13 items identified above.

1.There are numerous reports describing the skills that project managers need to be successful. Briefly describe the project management skill that you believe is most important. Explain why you believe it is most important and whether and how it can be learned.

2.
One of the common IT acquisition alternatives is acquiring outsourcing services. Organizations are outsourcing many functions, including IT functions, to both domestic and international organizations. What are the two or three most important issues facing CIOs and their IT project managers in USA companies that rely heavily on outsourcing IT functions? How should these issues be addressed?"

3.
n his December 6, 2010 article in Datamation titled The Five E's of Cloud Computing Management in 2011, Jeffrey Kaplan states:


"The beauty of today's Cloud Computing solutions is that corporate executives and end-users can more easily critique their functional capabilities and user-friendliness before selecting one to address their needs. However, business decision-makers still need plenty of IT help looking "under the hood" at how these offerings are architected, delivered and supported to ensure they can integrate with existing systems and fulfill their promises. IT managers and CIOs should put selection criteria, procurement procedures and governance policies in place to oversee the evaluation and contracting processes." (Available here.)


When considering cloud computing, Kaplan says "corporate executives and end-users can more easily critique their functional capabilities and user-friendliness." What are the implications of this for planning IT acquisition projects? How much change do you see, if any, in solution selection criteria, procurement procedures, and governance approaches because of cloud computing, assuming the organization has established these earlier based on best practices?

Do it Yourself Outsourcing ??" You design the product or service that will be outsourced
(Due Week 5)


This case study allows you to choose the business process that will be outsourced. You must first decide on the company, and if you use a real one, please do not reveal any names or trade secrets. This may also be a fictitious organization if you choose to use one.

Your Assignment:
Prepare an executive summary document outlining the entire outsourcing / contracting process for those business processes that you decide to outsource. Your analysis must include the items below.

An analysis on which business processes you would outsource versus those that you would maintain in-house. You need to justify your decision for each business process maintained in-house or outsourced (e.g., accounting, editorial, photography, publishing, distribution, printing, layout, advertising, editing, articles, etc.).

For those services that you intend to outsource:
o Establish the preliminary performance targets / level of service that will be required from the selected vendors;
o Establish the type of contract that you will use for each contract (i.e., fixed, cost-plus, reimbursable, unit);
o Determine the evaluation criteria that you will use to select the preferred vendor(s) (e.g., low price, best value, etc.) [Are there different evaluation criteria for different business units? Why?];
o Identify the number of vendors that you will select to provide the services that will be outsourced (i.e., one vendor for all services versus individual vendors with specific expertise in each of the services to be outsourced); and
o Construct a timeline that summarizes the bid activities and time duration for each contracting process (i.e., plan purchases and acquisition through select sellers).

Case Study 2 allows the student to bring to the table a business outsourcing project that they may have gone through. If this is the case, please do not use real names of either the company or individuals in the paper. If you have not gone through this process, then research an outsourcing endeavor that interests you, and write about it. You need to include the justification for outsourcing the department, the process that has to take place for a successful outsourcing, and the cost of this endeavor.

Please see Doc Sharing for Case Study #2.

Contracting with the Federal Government

You are the owner/CEO of a small business that provides a service and you are ready to expand your business by competing for Navy contracts, at the base located a few miles away.

Write a three page paper in which you:
1.Examine the advantages of the hybrid contract to the small-business owner, and why the government is likely to choose you in the sealed-bidding process.

?Describe the nature of government contracting, including authority, responsibilities, and legal considerations

2.Determine how a small business could benefit from the use of micro-purchases at the local navy base.

?Explain the government acquisition process using sealed bidding, negotiations, and alternative contracting methods


3.Use at least (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources

follow these formatting requirements:
?Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

Contract law permeates society and daily life. Think of a personal or professional contract in your life into which youve entered or describe a contract dispute you may have had. In a well-written paper, relate your professional or personal experience in the business world to the readings for the week.
In your paper, consider and address the following questions:
Were there any issues, legal or otherwise, faced when entering into the contract?
What was the offer, acceptance and consideration? Be sure to define these legal concepts before identifying them in your specific example.
Would you have a different point of view entering into the contract now with your increased knowledge of contract law? Why or why not?
Identify ethical issues that exist in your example, if any. If your scenario did not present any ethical issues, provide support to indicate this.
Do not feel compelled to disclose more information than you are comfortable discussing. There are many contracts we enter into which are fairly neutral, so you should be able to discuss something without feeling an invasion of privacy.
Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length, not including the title or references pages. Review the grading rubric, which can be accessed from the Course Information page, and make sure to follow APA guidelines.

Contracts involve risks. How could these risks be mitigated? Be sure to explain which role (or roles) on the project team within the performing organisation are responsible for identifying and remedying the results when said risks materialise.

CONTRACT LAW ESSAY

Assignment 2: Types of Contracts and Performance-Based Acquisition
Due Week 4 and worth 110 points

Imagine that you are working on a two-million-dollar procurement for the purchase of vehicles for the fleet of trucks and cars to be used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection. These vehicles will be used for off-road driving on dirt roads in Arizona. Your manager has asked you to select the type of contract to be used for the vehicle purchase.

Choose to respond to this scenario from a government or a contractor perspective. If you select government, then you will complete the assignment as if you are a government employee (or military personnel) receiving the proposal from the contractor. If you select contractor, then you will complete the assignment as if you are a contractor employee submitting a proposal to the government.

Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:
1. Examine the types of contracts and performance-based acquisition. Select the type of contract you would like to use for the vehicle purchase. (Dr. Vic?s Tips: This assignment is very close to the Db for Week 3, so I will offer similar tips and hints: You will also want to review Feldman, Ch. 16 and Compton Ch. 6. You will need to list, define, discuss and provide examples of the main three offered within the article: Fixed-Price, Cost-Reimbursement, Time-and-Materials (T&M), AND the two offered within Compton p.p. 66-70: Letter Contracts and Indefinite Delivery Contracts ? this is a graduate level class?I will be looking for you to discuss all five! Please do so! Please include research from both of our textbooks [interpret, cite and reference]). For Performance-based acquisition, [Compton Ch. 7] you can also use information from your Week 3 DB as well). Finally, as the question requires, select and explain, the best type of contracts for the trucks and cars for DHS).

2. Evaluate the pros and cons of sealed bidding contracts and negotiated contracts, emphasizing which one would be best for this purchase. (Dr. Vic?s Tips, p.p. 53-66 of our Compton text covers both sealed bidding and the negotiation process in depth, please use information from this source as well as Chapter 14 of Feldman. For sealed bidding Pros you can certainly discuss their common uses, p.p. 209-210, Feldman, and cons can be from p. 210 as well - second para. Also some of the Conditions for Sealed Bidding on p. of Compton, could be interpreted as either pros or cons. Do the same for the negotiated contract type and then select and explain which type of acquisition would be best for the assignment scenario).

3. Determine the responsibilities of the contracting officer during the proposal evaluation process. (Dr. Vic?s Tips: p.p. 55-58 of Compton has information relative to this CO question, also please use information from Feldman, Chapter 14, there are many areas within this chapter that will be good to use, for example, the very first para of p. 209, but really the entire chapter has great information to add).

4. Assess the requirements for performance-based acquisitions. (Dr. Vic?s Tips: the entirety of Chapter 7 from Compton will help you answer this question, p. 77 will focus your scope in terms of general requirements. Make sure you discuss SOO and Quality Assurance Plans ? see Chapter 7 of Compton. You discussed some of this info within your Week 3 DB).

5. Create requirements for the vehicle purchase that could be included in a performance-based contract with rationale. (Dr. Vic?s Tips: now comes the application part of this assignment: remember as Compton p. 76 states, please concentrate on objectives!)

Use at least four (4) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Financial Contracting

Financial Contracting for New Venture

Investments in your new venture will involve financial contracts between you and outside investors. Outside investors can be angel financers, venture capitalists, private financing companies, banks, credit unions, and so on. Financial contracts can have negative and positive impacts on your new venture. For example, an angel financer can add a clause on the financial contract which will not let you borrow additional funds without lender?s permission. This happens when a lending institution has a mortgage/lean on your new venture?s property. The lending institutions (e.g., banks, angel financers) add this clause to reduce foreclosure risk. Therefore, you must evaluate financing alternatives for your new business so that you are not controlled by the lending institutions.

Given the material and readings in this module, consider the entrepreneurial venture that you chose for this course. Reflect on the lessons from the readings about financial contracting. Then write a report concerning the type of financial contracting you would consider for "your" venture:

****My venture is a clothing business for the Mixed Martial Arts customers, namely shirts, hats, and hoodies/fleeces.***

In particular think of the following situations and consider the contract provisions that might be arrived at between an entrepreneur and a prospective investor:

1. There are only a few specific possible outcomes that might result from the venture. The parties know what the possibilities are and agree about the probability of likelihood of each outcome.

2. Same as (a), except that the parties disagree about the probabilities of various outcomes.

3. What do you perceive you have learnt in Module 4 SLP? Which of the following learning objectives do you feel you have mastered?

?Demonstrate the effects of alternative financial contracts on the value of financial interests of the entrepreneur and outside investors

?Describe the basic information and incentive problems that impact new ventures

NOTE: Please note that your report/assignment will not be accepted without proper citations and references. You must use the sources from the background material together with the sources you find your own. It is also REQUIRED that you answer all the questions related to learning outcomes.


Session Long Project (SLP) Expectations:

In Module 4 SLP, you are expected to:

?Describe the purpose of the paper and conclusion.

?Answer the SLP questions clearly and provide necessary details.

?Provide a quality argument; that is, no poor sentence structure, no spelling and grammar mistakes or run-on sentences.

?Provide citations to support your argument and references on a separate page. All the sources that you used to write the paper must be cited. Otherwise it is called plagiarism. Please use APA format to provide citations and references [http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ ; http://www.trident.edu/Media/Default/pdf/Well-Written-Paper.pdf].

?Answer all the SLP questions in an essay format instead of point format. Please do not type questions in the paper.

This research paper is about theory of contract. It needs to view contemporary legal contract theories. Why do we have Contract Law? Is Contract Law Justified because morally we need to be bind by what one agrees to, or Contract Law is a necessity for a functioning market? How does that inflect on the freedom of contract principle as courts started to restrain the freedom of contractors to promote welfare and to protect certain sectors of society such as consumers and employees.

The paper as well needs to discuss the relation between Contract Law and trust. How important lawyers see Contract Law for promoting trust in commerce. Some lawyers see Contract Law as a major factor in promoting trust in the market; other lawyers think that many other factors contribute to trust and they think that indeed contract Law would undermine trust if it was the dominating factor.

Im sending five resources, two books and three articles, which Id like them to be used please. They introduce the arguments that surround this topic and they can be the main sources for the research. However, I think that at least 10 resources are needed to produce a good quality paper. If you can use in addition to the resources Im sending another too books and couple of articles that will be grate. Below are the titles of the two books Im speaking of and Ill send the articles by email.

This research paper will be used as part of my PhD thesis. Its findings will be incorporated in the hypothesis part. I will email to you my proposal that is entitled Promoting Trust in the E-Commerce. That should assist in writing this research paper too.

Books:
- Contract Law; Themes for the Twenty-First Century, Roger Brownsword...
ISBN 0 406 93413 4.

- The Law of Contract, Hugh Collins...
ISBN 0 406 03147 9.

I cant think of an upper limit for quotations, but around two quotes per page should be fine. Two footnotes or more per page will be grate.

Thanks and please get in touch if you need more details.
