Milestone Guidelines

The final project for this course is the creation of a case study analysis.

Through the practice of analysis and application of human behavior theories and concepts, you will develop your critical thinking skills and the ability to properly diagnose root causes of organizational issues while recommending solutions that create sustainable positive change within an organization.

You will analyze the case study entitled "Engstrom Auto Mirror Plant: Motivating in Good Times and Bad," which you purchased from Harvard Business Review as part of your required resources. The case study will present a list of known organizational issues. You will apply knowledge of human behavior theories and concepts to properly identify and analyze the multiple root causes of the organizational issues from a human behavior perspective. Your analysis will include an examination of the resulting impact of relevant theories and concepts.
