Team assignment

Due:

Team Charter and Team Evaluations

Working in a self$-$selected team of $3-4$ students, team will develop a comprehensive Organizational Behaviour analysis for a Canadian company of their choice. With the help of the concepts learned in this course, the students will critically analyze an OB System$/$ sub$-$system utilizing secondary data research $($peer$-$reviewed journals, published case$-$studies, company websites, google scholar $-$ research articles, videos, newspaper$/$ magazine articles$)$ to identify problems and recommend constructive improvements.

Remember to not only describe what the organization is doing in each of these areas, but also to analyse how well they are doing in each area, which includes looking at how the competition might be doing. Good analysis considers both the good and the bad when looking at an organization.
