Week 3 attachment is the selected project to use for this assignment. The other attachment is just an example of how the assignment structure should be and some guidelines. Please follow all guidelines.

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): A hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be carried out by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables.

According to the PMBOK® Guide, “The WBS organizes and defines the total scope of the project and represents the work specified in the current approved project scope statement. The planned work is contained within the lowest level of WBS components, which are called work packages. A work package can be used to group the activities where work is scheduled and estimated, monitored, and controlled. In the context of the WBS, work refers to work products or deliverables that are the result of activity and not to the activity itself.”

Project Management Institute, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, (PMBOK® Guide) – Sixth Edition, Project Management Institute Inc., 2017, Page 157.

The WBS is used to create the project schedule based on the activities needed to complete the work of the project.

Based on the selected project of interest create a WBS. Among other things, be sure to:

Identify and analyze the project deliverables

Develop the structure and organize the WBS

Decompose the upper WBS levels into detailed components

Determine identification codes for the WBS components

Verify the degree of decomposition is appropriate

Group 3 – The Socially Responsible Shoe Company

When Blake Mycoskie was on a visit to Argentina in 2006, a bright idea struck him. He was wearing alpargatas—resilient, lightweight, canvas slip-ons—shoes typically worn by Argentinian farmworkers, during his visit to poor villages where many of the residents had no shoes at all. He formulated the plan to start a shoe company and give away a pair of shoes to some needy child or person for every shoe the company sold. This became the basic mission of his company. Initially, Blake had to self-finance his company. He decided to name his company “Toms: Shoes for Tomorrow.” Blake is from Texas, and he liked to read books about such business success stories as those of Ted Turner, Richard Branson, and Sam Walton. He appends the following message to his e-mails: “Disclaimer: you will not win the rat race wearing Toms.” In the summer of 2006, he unveiled his first collection of Toms shoes. By fall, the company had sold 10,000 pairs and he was off to the Argentinian countryside, along with several volunteers, to give away 10,000 pairs of shoes. In an article in Time, Blake was quoted as saying, “I always thought I’d spend the first half of my life making money and the second half giving it away. I never thought I could do both at the same time.” By February 2007, Blake’s company had orders from 300 stores for 41,000 of his spring and summer collection of shoes, and he had big plans to go international by entering markets in Japan, Australia, Canada, France, and Spain in the summer of 2008. In 2012, the company also launched its Toms Eyewear line and adopted a program called “One for One,” in which “with every pair you purchase, Toms will give sight to a person in need. One for One.” By 2015, Toms had given away 50 million shoes. Also, Blake in 2015 announced a new fund to help support social good startup companies.

1. How would you assess Toms’ CSR using the four part CSR definition? Is the company based on the typical business case for CSR or more of an ethical or philanthropic model?

2. Is Blake Mycoskie a social entrepreneur, intraprenuer, or mainstream adopter? Is his company a social enterprise? Explain.

3. Do you believe Blake’s twin goal of economic and social success is sustainable? Review the company’s Web site to see additional information: www.toms .com

4. What challenges do you foresee for the company’s future?Your presentation should be a top-line summary of the key points from your findings.
