A SWOT Analysis on 401
Wednesday, November 25, 2009
I think that I will not see any returns on my investments for 401. The input is definitely not going to be equitable to the output.
Social judgment theory is when we marked APH down during teaching evaluation, a perfect combination of actuarial and human analytical methods to arrive at a decision.
I would love to use Porter's 5 forces to analyze any potential substitutes or competitors to 401 as a module, but I don't think any other module can come close to the league and likes of 401.
If I had to use the decision wheel now to decide how to go about solving the problem of 401, I think I would be stuck at identifying goals. As far as I see it, 401 is aimless.
401 is far from scientific, since there are no cold and calculated steps to study and score for it. It has definitely omitted the lessons of the human relations school since it fails to achieve any of my needs according to Maslow, or motivate me according to Herzberg. I am far from empowered upon learning 401. Neither is there any emphasis on quality in this module along the way.
Assessment methods are nebulous at best and difficult to measure. The moderators of this module could do well to take a leaf from the chapters on leadership and management, and realize that this course does not inspire, influence, or solve any problems.
There is nothing strategic in 401, and intermediate planning does not work for a module which is only taught within 3 months. Therefore I turn towards short-term planning, and the way I see it, I'm screwed within the next 24 hours.
