Problem Solving<\/p>\n
When faced with a problem, what do you do to solve it? This assignment asks you to apply a six-step to problem solving process to a specific problem scenario. You will write a paper that presents a synthesis of your ideas about solving the problem using this systematic approach. As Voltaire said, “No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.”<\/p>\n
ASSIGNMENT: You have worked at your company for eleven (11) years. You have returned to college to earn a Bachelor\u2019s degree in order to increase your chances for a promotion. You are nearly finished with your degree, when a supervisor\u2019s position in a competing company becomes available in another state. The start date is in two (2) weeks, during your final exam period for your courses. The position offers a $15,000 per year salary increase, a car allowance, and relocation expenses. Your former supervisor works for the company and is recommending you for the position based on your outstanding job performance; if you want the job, it\u2019s yours. All of the other supervisors at this level in the company have Master\u2019s degrees, so you know that you would be expected to earn your Bachelor\u2019s degree and continue on to a Master\u2019s degree. Your present company offers tuition reimbursement, but the new company does not.<\/p>\n

\nStep Five: Make your decision
\nStep Six: Implement and reflect<\/p>\n

1. Define the problem in the scenario that you have chosen.<\/p>\n
2. Analyze the problem in the scenario.<\/p>\n
3. Generate options for solving the problem in the scenario.<\/p>\n
4. Evaluate the options for solving the problem.<\/p>\n
5. Decide on the best option for solving the problem.<\/p>\n
