This is an assignment that requires you to use concepts learned in class and apply

them to a management issue in an organizational setting. You have the choice of

using an organization that you personally know or any organization that you are

interested in researching on$.$ You should present the results of your work in a

paper that is at least five pages long.

$2.$ I am open to the range of organizations you could choose from. It could be your

workplace, your school, your sports team, your church, or even an informal club

that you are involved in$.$ It is preferable that you do not use your family as the

organization to present. However, if you are not able to find any organization you

are personally affiliated with to talk about in your paper, you can choose some

other organization to research on$.$ It can be a business corporation or a non$-$profit

organization. It can be any organization you are not affiliated with for that matter.

The downside of this is you may not have access to certain vital information for

you to do this assignment such as the internal dynamics of the organization and

vital characters within the organization.

$3.$ In your paper, you need to give some description of the management situation of

this organization. So$,$ first, you need to identify this organization, list its functions,

describe its purpose, spell out the everyday things that it does and most of all,

point out the people, particularly the leaders or managers that it is composed of

and how they relate to one another and the larger organization. Because no

organizational management is perfect, there should be some imperfection or

shortcoming that you can find room for improvement. I would like you to

therefore point out some organizational management problem that you observe in

this organization; it can be an ethical problem, a communication problem, a

personality mismatch problem that is costing the organization in some way, and

so on$.$

$4.$ The main objective of this assignment is to explain how certain concepts you

learn in class about management can be applied to this organizational problem.

You must flesh out and elucidate how these concepts can be carried out in

practice and why you think that is the case. You must give reasons that such a

solution based on the concepts you have learned is relevant to the problem at

hand. In the case of an organization in which some sort of solution has already

been put in place, you can choose not to prescribe a solution; rather you can

describe the solution that is already being implemented so long as it also has some

relation with the concepts learned in class.
