Organizational Dynamics Final Project - Learning Assessment of a Real-World Organization

The purpose of this assignment is to create an opportunity for students to apply the ideas and concepts discussed in the class and the readings in the analysis of a real-world organization. Your choice of an organization will be an important one, and may be drawn from your own experience or be an organization were information is readily available.

Be sure to maintain a professional stance in relation to matters that are sensitive and confidential. When necessary, you should disguise the source of your project (unless the case is drawn from public records) through use of appropriate pseudonyms. Confidentiality and the general conduct of the project are entirely your responsibility, so proceed with caution and ethical care.

In essence, the case study invites you to do the following:

1) Identify an organization to be assessed based on the principles of organizational learning (overall course theme).

2) Consider the three organizational perspectives and the associated materials as lenses for such an assessment.

3) Engage in research activity that allows you to test the relevance of the different ideas through the accumulation of relevant information and data.
