Managing Organizational Environments

Your research should be in sufficient depth to exceed the extent to which the text covers the material. This is a research paper, not an opinion paper. Because this is a course in Organizational Theory and Behavior, you must address how the topic impacts organizations-meaning what are the major implications for application to organizations? (No more than half a page). Papers should be a 6 full pages long, concisely written in a font this size (12), grammatically correct and spell checked. You should have an additional page for bibliography (references). Use no fewer than six resources, NOT including your text, which you may also cite. The Internet should NOT be your only resource. If you are unfamiliar with the APA guidelines on plagiarism, read them on the Internet or at the library, and be careful not to plagiarize. A library/ProQuest search of periodicals containing articles relating to selected topics should be used to illustrate your understanding of each topic and show how they can effectively assist the achievement of corporate/organizational goals. Identification of operational impediments and behavioral constraints, and steps taken to resolve these issues will elevate the quality of the term paper. REMINDER: Please read the book in Chapter 8: Managing Organizational Environments: Conceptions and Chapter 9: Managing Organizational Environments: General Paradigms.
