31 Aug Critical Thinking in Action
This assignment is for an MBA leader class. I need someone that’s able to write in an academic voice and speaks and writes English daily. Also, someone that can follow the directions as given. If you think you take on this assignment and answers the questions at the bottom message me. That will be the only way I will accept your bid.
Instructions:
Write a 2-4-page academic paper in which you describe a business situation, apply a critical thinking framework to the situation, and recommend evidence-based solutions to the situation. Explain how the concepts of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) could affect both the situation and the solution.

1. Be sure your paper includes, and is organized, as follows:
o Introduction: Write an introduction that tells the reader what to expect of this paper (1 paragraph). It would be most effective to include a brief mention that leaders at Panera Bread effectively used an understanding of critical thinking and VUCA to solve their mosh pit problem, and that this paper applies a similar framework to solving whatever problem in the organization you chose. Choose an organization with a problem you can research.
o Problem: Describe the problem that you will be solving for another company, describing the situation (13 paragraphs).
o Thinking Critically: Apply the framework for critical thinking as outlined by Michael Kallet in the Think Smarter e-book to the problem you identified to describe an evidence-based recommendation for this company to improve. You can create your own unique recommendation, or show how critical thinking applied to a solution that someone else came up with already or applied, which you read about in your research (13 paragraphs).
o Applying VUCA: Explain how VUCA could affect both the situation and your recommendation, and any important considerations for management in implementing the recommended solution (12 paragraphs).
o Conclusion: Write a conclusion that wraps up and summarizes your document (1 paragraph). The Capella Writing Center, linked in the MBA Program Resources under Writing Skills, has good information on how to write an effective conclusion.
o References: Include at least two APA-formatted citations in your paper.
