I. INSTRUCTIONS
The purpose of the Learner's Log Book (LLB) is to document the
achievements of the learner in a central repository that will be considered as
evidence on the effectiveness of the learning process. It is a 'monitoring tool'
that e-tutors use to report on individual learners' progress and it is a way of
ensuring that learners:
 Are engaged in their learning process.
 They are experimenting by doing the tasks subscribed to them by the
e-tutor.
 Avoid plagiarism because learners have to be engaged on a continuous
basis and the informal assessment can therefore be used to ensure
consistency with the main formal assessment.
 Provide e-Tutors with the opportunity to get to know the learners
evaluate them and mentor them properly.
 There are templates which will reflect whether learners read, whether
they understand, whether they assimilate the knowledge, whether they
develop enquiry ability, whether they have the potential to conduct critical
thinking and whether they can reflect on the knowledge accumulated by
relating to real situations.
The onus is mainly on learners to furnish the required information in the
templates after each unit based on the Read and Analyze Activity. After
filling the information in the template they need to e-mail it back to the e-
Tutor.
e-Tutor will then comments on the work done and the involvement that takes
place and give overall impressions on the learners at the end of the module.

III. SUMMARY (100-200 words)
Provide a summary in your own words on the article you requested to read
and analyze in the following space.
The article is about project management which has become an integral element of
contemporary companies across all industries. Here the authors have explored and
described the implication within firms during implementation of process management
and have investigated relationship amid functional firms and process perception as
well as role of managers, teams and individuals. The article has contributed in two
aspects i.e. first on empirical description and evaluation of process management
implementations beneficiation to knowledge and interpretations between
practitioners and researchers and the second one is identification of need for co-
existence of process and functional prospect and implication that difficultly is
generated instead of reduction within firms. In this article three organizations were
selected for case analysis and it was inferred that usage of process management was
not just an approach for improvement of single process rather it also involved aspect
of managing the organization and its capabilities.
In context to purpose of implementation of process management within an
organization it was found from article that process management helped to enhance
understanding of staffs in terms of strategies and customer needs, made the work
process more standardized thus ensuring cost savings, increased effective use of
employees, supported in economic control and drove easier improvement. In context
to experience encountered during implementation of process management it was
found that people in the three firms studied expressed enhancement in well being
and that employees found process management as positive. Along with it there also
emerged a concern about risk of stress generated due to enhanced individual
responsibility amongst the employees during process management implementations.
While in context to ability to support improvement during implementation of process
management it was derived that in all three firms studied the process of
organizational structure involved process owners and leaders as promoters and for
process improvement there were teams to initiate change that had supported in
strengthening of organization’s capacities to change and improve. Lastly in context
to implication of process management implementation over structures, roles and
responsibilities it was derived that all the three organizations that were studied had
introduced process management structure within their functional structure as well as
introduced new managerial positions like process owners and leaders for better
