MGMT4020 JWU Operations And Value Chain Role Social Issues Assignment
Writing
Please see attached explain
The team’s task is to write the press release from the perspective of AgenaAstro. Together you will write a one-page (single-spaced) press release that briefly explains what this recall means for the company, its stakeholders and the community at-large. Remember, your contribution to this press release should be 4-6 sentences focused on information from the perspective of your role.
Here is the matter for the assignment: My other teammates have various roles. My role is only to explore a case from a particular point of view (below), with particular concerns in mind as they determine problems and solutions.
MY ROLE: Operations/Value Chain Role: This role analyzes situations from a perspective that takes into account the overall operations of the organization and the organization’s value chain. The value chain should be considered when developing potential solutions. (see attached for further explanation.)
“August 21, 2017 – The Great American Solar Eclipse. This was an event that many people were anxiously awaiting and preparing for. Companies began selling, and some giving away, eclipse glasses for viewers to safely look at the sun during the eclipse. A few weeks before the eclipse, it became known that some of the glasses sold/given away may not have been aligned with the proper ISO safety standards; this caused major recalls of these potentially counterfeit glasses. In the news we heard about the major recalls from Amazon and some other companies, but there was little mention of the manufacturer of the glasses: AgenaAstro; follow the link to learn more about this company: http://agenaastro.com/. A link to one of the articles about the Amazon recall is also posted here for further context: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/amazon-recalls-potentially-hazardous-solar-eclipse-glasses/.”
Reminder I only need a few paragraphs at the most from this perspective.
