The project requires you to examine a problem or issue of concern in a real organization. This assignment represents a major portion of your course grade and the largest collaborative learning exercise of the semester.
A primary purpose of the project is to give your team an opportunity to apply what has been learned in the course and to understand issues/problems in an organization of your team's choice. In addition, this project gives students the chance to practice effective teamwork and leadership skills.
Class members will collaborate in teams to study a real organization (public, private or nonÂ
profit). Please note that studentÂrun groups on campus are not permitted for this project. You may select an organization in which a team members has worked or been a member. Be very selective in choosing an issue or problem within an organization, as a lack of depth in the issue itself will not be an acceptable excuse for lack of depth in the analysis There are two broad options for what you do with the organization:
1. Your team can act as a short-term consulting team. Your team will focus on an
issue or problem that the organization is facing and is relevant to the content of
this course. It may take more than one conversation with your key contact person
at the organization to identify a problem or issue that can be clearly defined, is
manageable in scope, and is relevant to the course. I advise you to be selective in
choosing an issue or problem to study, as a lack of depth in the issue itself will not
be an acceptable excuse for lack of depth in the analysis.
2. Your team can work with an organizational sponsor to select a project that will
contribute positively to the mission of that organization. Thus, with this option,
your team will perform a specific task for the organization. This task should be
one that can be completed during the semester and take no more than 10 hours of
each team member’s time. Some examples of this type of project would be to do
some community service project for a social service agency, or you may conduct
some financial or marketing analysis for an organization. Performing this task is
what will provide your team access to the organization and its members, and this
will allow you to identify a problem or issue for your team to assess for this
course project.
Regardless of the option you choose, your team is to gather information from people
in an organization through direct contact. You may supplement this information
with data from the media, the organization's literature, and other secondary sources. You should
identify a relatively recent issue to analyze (i.e., this should not be an historical
account of a problem and the company's solution). You should focus your
analysis by applying the concepts from the course. While it is acceptable to
incorporate several concepts from the course, please aim for depth rather than
breadth regarding the use of course concepts.
To meet these broad goals, your team should answer the following questions in the
assignments detailed below.
a) What are the issues or problems facing the organization?
