  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A Study of the Impacts of Corporate Culture Initiatives – MVV Author: Finn, Daragh, Bahreini, Sara, Krueger, Justin Year: 2014 The purpose of this report is to study the implementation and impacts of Mission, Vision and Values (MVV) initiatives at a Portland based medium-sized technology Company. In 2009 the Company at the core of this case implemented a refreshed MVV initiative to spur innovation, creativity, productivity and improve employee satisfaction within the Company after the recession and a two year down turn. This paper will begin by outlining the case history and problem statements that lead to the conclusion that the MVV required a re-boot. The study will document the implementation strategy and specific identifiable goals for the MVV. We will analyze results of survey data collected both before and after the roll out of the MVV to qualify the impacts to employee satisfaction. Small improvements were observed for Company vision, creativity and inspiration. The survey also showed a reduction in the key talent retention sentiment in the Company. Additional metrics spanning the MVV initiative period will be examined for the following impacts; innovation, creativity, productivity and turnover. A positive trend in innovation and creativity was observed at multiple locations, a productivity increase was not evident from records provided, human resource management (HRM) statistics showed a temporary drop in voluntary turnover during the period, but turnover increased again in the following years. This study has been conducted through the collection of empirical data from the Company and by conducting with interviews with technical staff and HR professionals at the Company. Based on the outcome of this case study, we will be able to conclude to the impacts of the MVV initiative.

Author: Alzahrani, Ahmed, Hsu, Allen Wei Chen, Al Saglab, Bashir Year: 2016 Technology and science are changing the daily activities and revolutionizing the normal human lives. These technological and scientific breakthroughs are usually making our lives simpler and changing the way we do things. In many aspects and views, life is getting more collaborated whether in transportation, communication, or in power transmitting. This revolution in technology and science leads to many futuristic applications in our lives. Wireless charging technology is one of the existence applications that benefits from this peak. This application has become an important trend as it can solve many existing problems in many fields. While wireless charging technology over years, a new form of this technology has highlighted the roadmap of the future of this technology where devices can be charged over a distance without the need chargers and cords by using the Radio Frequency waves to transmit power. The aim of this report is to define the strategy aspects of Ossia, one of the startup companies that have introduced this technology, by producing a wireless charger named “Cota”. The definition of the strategy aspects will answer the following questions: “What is the company mission, vision, and goals? What are the value propositions?”. Moreover, we also cover the targeted customer segments for the value proposition and the identification of the product strategy and the market strategy. Finally, some suggestions and thoughts for future research. Title: Strategic Planning for Ossia Inc.
