Assignment 4: Review and Begin Course Term Project

By Sunday, November 4, 2012, begin preparation of a 12–15 page applied research paper, not including a cover page, reference pages and, if needed, any appendices, on the broad theme of “organizations and leadership.” Within this broad theme, the project should explore, in some depth, a topic related to the course objectives that is significant to you or your organization. Research shows that people learn effectively when working on real problems grounded in their own work experience. To this end, the project is designed to incorporate your professional work experience into the learning process in this course.

In developing the project, select a specific organization of interest to you. Think of yourself as an organizational consultant and assume that a senior manager has requested a thorough analysis and a recommended course of action to resolve an actual leadership and organizational behavior(LOB) problem that will make a difference to the future performance of the organization. If there appears to be more than one problem, you need to decide if they are separate or related issues. Keep the problem statement short and concise. Specify whose point of view you are taking to identify the problem (For example, you could interview a couple managers, describe their take on the key problem, and compare them with yours).

Focus your study on one specific LOB topic area. Your project may focus on any of the following topics:

    • Organizational culture
    • Trust
    • Motivation
    • Stress
    • Organizational structure
    • Communication
    • Managing change
    • Leadership
    • Group and team dynamics
    • Managing conflict
    • Individual performance issues
    • Diversity
    • Job satisfaction
    • Job design

 

The Course Term Project should be developed within the following timeline:

Holmes proposed the sale to the After-School board of directors. The directors were divided on the issue because they were not certain whether branching out into nursery care would be a smart move. As funds were not available, however, they saw no need to vote on the issue at that time. Holmes decided that he would try to purchase Pro Providers on his own. After securing a loan, Holmes entered into negotiations with Stein. They agreed on a price of $900,000, and the sale went through. Holmes did not inform the board of his activity until after the sale was completed.
