Assignment: Focus Paper

In the last unit, you were introduced to the idea of analyzing an organization as a system.

In this Assignment, you will write a 3-5 page paper body that includes the following:

- Using research on systems theory, describe and evaluate your organization as a system. You are free to select the appropriate framework for conducting this evaluation.
