The connection between employees and organizational culture

In the introduction (1.1) it will be important to add literature introducing your topic. I suggest you start with some history of the Sishen to Saldahna line, its importance to the northern/western cape economic development. This will set the scene for the background. As we discussed on 22 July, we agreed that the focus should be more narrowly on the Sishen to Saldahna line. I sent you some readings (a presentation with some history and data on this line) as well as the Bury et al case on railway maintenance.

In section 1.2 the background is sketched out reasonably well although it is lacking in detail. It would be improved if you supported each point with data/statistics. The Sishen-to-Saldahna line presentation I found for you will provide some of this. No doubt you also have the statistics.
Certainly you do have a persistent and relevant problem.

In 1.3 the goals are well stated. I suggest you also add some background information on yourself and your role.

In 1.4 you state the research questions as follows:
• Primary question: How can we deliver better service, so that maintain the connection between employees and organisational culture, in order to increase performance?
• Secondary question: Will Communication between Transnet Engineering and Transnet Fright Rail help to identify or develop a culture of delivery and performance.
After our discussion on 22 July we agreed the following more precise writing of the questions to help narrow the focus of the study a bit more and align well with EBMgt as the methodology:
1. How can TE develop a culture of delivery and performance that meets the target of its SLA with TFR?
2. What are the causal mechanisms that are generating the situation that had led to failure to deliver the 95% target?
3. How can communication between TE and TFR be improved?
4. How can operational efficiencies be improved?
Currently in 1.5 (Literature) you discuss EBMgt as the literature. The discussion on EBMgt should rather be in the methodology discussion. As we discussed on 22 July, I noted that literature on supply chain efficiency will need to be included in your literature review, i.e. your likely literature is literature on supply chain efficiency. I sent you an article to help you with this:
– Goedhals-Gerber, L. L. (2016). The composite supply chain efficiency model: A case study of the Sishen-Saldanha supply chain. Journal of Transport and Supply Chain Management, 10(1), 1-13.
Chapter 2 will be your literature review. As we discussed, I recommended that the literature review provide a background overview on the Sishen-to-Saldanha line – it’s history, key data related to its efficiency and performance; and also discuss literature on supply chain efficiency, starting with the lessons from Goedhals-Gerber.
In 1.6 (the framework), we agreed that systems thinking would be your framework. You will need to write up a more detailed discussion on systems thinking. (Checkland is soft systems thinking by the way). I attach an article by Kim on systems thinking as a refresher for you.
Sections 1,7, 1,8 and 1,9. on the methodology are fine for now. They can be further summarised once you’ve done chapter 3 (Methodology)
Chapter 3 will be your research methodology chapter. This is where you will discuss EBMgt in more detail, as well as data collection, data analysis and validity.
In 1.10 (Ethics) there is currently too little noted on this. This will need substantial additional material added. I attach a paper by Bell & Bryman that would be useful
Your conclusion (1.11) needs to also include mention of what will be covered in all the other chapters. As I see it it is likely to be:
• Chapter 2 – Literature Review
• Chapter 3 – Research Methodology
• Chapter 4 – Research Findings
• Chapter 5 – Discussion, learning journey and conclusion
Overall, you have a reasonably coherent proposal. The research concern is definitely a persistent and relevant problem, the questions are good and the methodology of EBMgt suits the subject matter. What needs to happen now is the hard work of reading academic papers and writing the paper.

 

SAMPLE SOLUTION

In the sorting room, Finch acquires the regard of long-lasting leader of the sorting room, Mr. Twimble, who is moving to the delivery office and must pick his successor. He reveals to Finch the key to life span at the organization (“The Company Way”).

Twimble declared Finch as his decision to head the sorting room, anyway the book cautions not to remain in the sorting room excessively long. Finch prescribes Frump for the advancement rather than himself, to benefit the organization. Twimble is hesitant to advance Frump due to his lethargy, yet Frump vows to be a decent representative (“The Company Way (Reprise)”). Twimble and Bratt are both intrigued by Finch’s magnanimous choice, and Bratt extends to him an employment opportunity as a lesser official in the Plans and Systems division, headed by Mr. Gatch, sadly.

An incredibly appealing yet air-headed lady named Hedy LaRue, Mr. Biggley’s mystery special lady, is procured as a secretary. Her passageway draws in the consideration of the considerable number of men in the workplace, provoking Bratt to clarify the workplace approach on being a tease (“A Secretary isn’t a Toy”). Finch gains from Mr. Biggley’s secretary, Miss Jones, that Biggley is a glad alumni of Old Ivy school. In the lift by the day’s end, Rosemary’s kindred secretary Smitty encourages her and Finch set up a date (“Been A Long Day”). After they leave, Frump runs into Biggley and Hedy and understands the idea of their relationship. He coerces Biggley into giving him an advancement, by taking steps to tell his mom (“Been A Long Day (Reprise)”).

Finch shows up sooner than expected Saturday morning and sets up the workplace so it would appear that he has been working throughout the night, realizing that Biggley is coming in to the workplace soon. Finch persuades Biggley that he is additionally a pleased former student of Old Ivy and they sing the Old Ivy battle tune (“Grand Old Ivy”). Biggley requests that Finch be given his own office and secretary, and Bratt relegates Hedy to him. With the book’s assistance, Finch understands that Biggley must be Hedy’s supporter and sends her on a task to Gatch, very much aware that Gatch will make a go at her. Gatch succumbs to the snare and is sent to Venezuela, and Finch is elevated to his situation as head of Plans and Systems.

At a gathering for the new Advertising Department head, Benjamin Burton Daniel Ovington, Rosemary would like to intrigue Finch with her new dress, a Paris unique. Be that as it may, the various ladies show up at the gathering wearing a similar dress (“Paris Original”). Hedy, who has had an excessive amount to drink, goes up to Biggley’s office to shower.

Slob plans for Biggley to find Finch kissing Hedy in his office, however after LaRue extorts Finch into kissing her, he understands he’s quite love with Rosemary and proposes to her (“Rosemary”). As Rosemary is going to acknowledge, Hedy leaves the washroom in a towel which enrages Rosemary. She leaves, however comes back to reveal to Finch that Bud and Biggley are simply outside. Slob and Biggley stroll into the workplace similarly as Finch grasps Rosemary. Ovington is compelled to leave after Finch prompts him to uncover to Biggley that he is an alum from Northern State, Old Ivy’s harsh adversary. Biggley names Finch Vice-President in Charge of Advertising. Biggley leaves as Finch and Rosemary proclaim their affection for one another, and Bud Frump pledges retribution to stop Finch’s transient ascent (“Act I Finale”).
After two days, Rosemary feels disregarded by Finch and chooses to stop. Smitty and her kindred secretaries persuade her to remain in light of the fact that she’s experiencing their fantasy about wedding an official (“Cinderella, Darling”).
