Communication in Organizations

Case Study Assignment:

Your task is to develop a case study about some aspect of organizational life, this might be a problem or some change issue. You should probably focus on an issue or a problem or something about change in the organization, but you can focus more broadly than that.

NOTE : Do NOT include any proprietary or confidential information or names of people or the organization if it could be harmful to you, others or the organization. Do let me know if it is a fictitious organization or a Real organization with the names changed to protect the organization.

It is very important that you follow the format very carefully. I will take points off for failing to follow the directions. Do each section separately and turn it in separately.

The parts are:

Part 1A: Describe the Organization (5%). Around a page in length, certainly not much more.

Part 1B: Describe the Situation you will analyze in the case study (5%). Around a page in length, certainly not much more.

Part 2: Situational Analysis (30%). Use the Matrix, and then write a half a page to a page on each of the 2 to 4 areas you will focus on.

Part 3: Recommendation (10%). A one or two pages at most.

NOTE: all page descriptions are approximate and are 12pt font double spaced

OK!!! LET’S START FROM PART 1A!

Part 1A: Describe the Organization (5%)

Instruction for Part 1A:

· Around a page in length, certainly not much more plus a graphic that shows the organizational chart.  If no Org Chart is available, create one and insert it into the document. If you struggle with this, there are many excellent online tutorials that can help.

· Briefly describe the organization.

· NOTE: here is where you state if it is real or fictitious.

· This description is likely to be 1 to 2 pages in length.

· You should also include an organizational chart.

Format (you must follow) for Part 1A:

ORGANIZATIONAL NAME: You can change the name to protect confidentiality

REAL OR FICTITIOUS: Just let me know if it is a real organization of one that you have made up.

DESCRIPTION: A paragraph or two or three

ORG CHART: If one is not available, create it.

ADDITIONAL NOTES (optional):
