This paper will require you to apply organizational theories, concepts, and perspectives
from the module readings to your approved
organization from Module 1.
Define your approved organization as you wish in terms of the whole or of the part that is
most relevant.
In 1-2 pages, provide a description of two to three problems identified. Your
description need not be elaborate but should provide enough information to enable someone
unfamiliar with the organizational issues to understand the essentials.
This portion should be just
the facts, a description, not an analysis of the key events. If using a personal workplace, feel free
to disguise names of people and the organization if you desire.
After you have set the foundation, apply theories learned from the course to analyze your
chosen organization and its identified
problems.
Utilizing the three perspectives, ensure clarity is
evident on areas of which system, organizational
environment, and changes as part of your
analysis.
Lastly, provide a personal perspective that discusses what you would implement to address the problems to move the organization
forward as part of the evolving changes for
organizations today.
