Can you write me an 1800-2000 word paper? I will provide you with the instructions and notes.

✓ Understand the nature of project and key features of PCM cycle ; ✓ Understand different stages of PCM cycle; ✓ Experience the process of participatory approach and logical thinking ✓ Developing problem analysis tree to identify the cause and effect of social problem by yourself. Project Cycle Management (PCM), is a set of project design and management tools based on the Logical Framework Approach . PCM is a globally popular approach since the 1990s. Now, it is used not only in the area of development by various donors, but also in private companies, and in national and local governments. What is PCM? Planning Implementation Evaluation PCM is a method of efficiently managing and operating a project through a series of cycles of “planning → implementation → evaluation ”. THE ABILITIES THAT JAPANESE COMPANIES EXPECT FROM NEW GRADUATES 1 st , Problem setting/solving ability 2 nd , Logical thinking ability 3 rd , Creativity 4 th , Listening ability 5 th , Communication skill 6 th, Ability to utilize information and data analysis 2021 Recruit Research LIMITED TIME FRAME LIMITED RESOURCES (BOTH BUDGET AND HR) CLEAR TARGET AND OBJECTIVE HAVE CLEAR START AND END A project is a series of activities aimed at bringing about clearly specified objectives within a defined timeframe and with a specific budget. ✓ Ensure accurate and logical project management ✓ Reflecting various needs of stakeholders (participatory approach) ✓ Improve Transparency ✓ Promoting effective communication (ensure consensus) ※ See attachments for more in details FEATURES OF PCM • Step 1: Stakeholders Analysis • Step 2: Problem Analysis • Step 3: Objective Analysis Analysis Stage • Step 5: Project Design Matrix (PDM) • Step 6: Appraisal • Step 7: Implementation Planning Stage A number of parents worried about raising children are increasing Lack of skills and knowledge of child caring Lack of support Children do not grow as expected STEPS FOR PROBLEM ANALYSIS AND PROJECT DESIGN 1. Make group of 3 or 4. 2. Discuss and agree upon one employment problem in Japanese companies ※ PCM is a participatory approach that promotes communication and mutual understanding, therefore, Every person must convey one’s idea (sitting quietly is NOT enough) STEPS FOR PROBLEM ANALYSIS AND PROJECT DESIGN 1. Make group of 3 or 4. 2. Discuss and agree upon one employment problem in Japanese companies 3. Conduct problem analysis and complete a problem tree in a sheet Basic rules to remember:

1, Since it is a “Problem Analysis”, always write in negative sentences; 2, Since it is a participatory approach , analyze from various perspectives, e.g. economic, society, culture, tradition, considering various stakeholders 3, The problem tree needs to make as wide as possible by analyzing it as details as possible without digging vertically. This analysis will be the basis for selecting the next step project. PCM Exercise: Problem Tree Analysis Pick one proble m you can see in Japanese companies = This will be your “Central Problem” Start analyzing the problem. Start from the central problem, then moving downwards, considering the following relationship. CAUSE EFFECT Write a direct cause of the above box Central Problem In this box, you write a direct cause of central problem In this box, you write a direct cause of central problem In this box, you write a direct cause of central problem Problem Tree Analysis Write down a central problem CAUSE EFFECT CAUSE EFFECT Cause of the above box Continue with Effect -Cause relationship STEPS FOR PROBLEM ANALYSIS AND PROJECT DESIGN 1. Make group of 3 or 4. 2. Discuss and agree upon one employment problem in Japanese companies 3. Conduct problem analysis and complete a problem tree in a sheet 4. Discuss the possible project to solve the proble m APPLICATION OF PROBLEM ANALYSIS After you graduate the university, you will face with various problems (issues) in real life. You are required to have the ability to identify a major problem and solve problem accurately and timely. This problem analysis method is also useful for self -analysis (especially finding and solving your own improvement points), so it is recommended that you keep in mind on a daily basis.
