Assignment Task
Effective managers need to be able to identify and address issues and problems that arise in organisational settings. Your assignment is to search the recent scholarly literature in organisational behaviour and, based on the literature you find, present an up-to-date view on a topic of your choice.
To complete the assignment, you will need first to choose one of the organisational problems from the list at Blackboard. Then you will need to read the scholarly literature to address the following questions:
1. What is the problem? Provide a concise summary of the problem itself, based on your reading of the literature. Here you will need to discuss the problem itself, e.g., who it affects, its prevalence in organisations, …show more content…
Remember to support any claims that you make. If you talk about a theory, provide the citation to that theory. Avoid the use of speculation and conjecture as this tends to detract from the scientific approach required for the essay.
Also ensure that all works cited are correctly referenced to the appropriate sources. We STRONGLY DISCOURAGE “cutting and pasting” and then then simply changing the words around, as this constitutes plagiarism. We encourage you to read widely and then spend time carefully rephrasing authors’ arguments in your own words. In you choose to quote from a source, ensure that you use double quotation marks and include the correct source and page number. Quotations should be kept to a minimum, as we want you to write the essay in your own words.
4. Polish your essay
Remember that the first draft often allows you to improve a lot. In other words, keep refining and working on the essay after you’ve produced the first version. Refer to the criteria sheet between reviewing drafts to see where you can improve. Ensure your essay is within the word limit before finalising (+/- 10%). The word limit excludes references and appendices (note: long appendices may not be read in
