The overall objective of this assignment is for you to explore the various topics and functions from a management perspective of the organization you select. You will select an organization listed on the Fortune 100 Top Performing Company in the field of Management. The research can be found at the link on Bb under assignments.
The paper should be typed, a minimum of 10 pages (body of the paper) in length and double-spaced. Cover sheet, table of contents, regular APA in text citations, and a bibliography are also to be included. You need a minimum of 10 sources and less than half of the resources should be pulled from the Internet, the remaining sources must be from documented sources. These documented, refereed sources will provide the framework for your topic paper. If you do not meet these minimum requirements it will impact your paper grade. I will also be grading for grammar, punctuation, and format. It needs to be a professional work product – something you would be proud to submit to your employer.
Suggested Completion Schedule
I suggest that as we complete a specific focus in Management, you will complete your research on your specific company/organization as it relates to that specific management area (such as Planning or Motivation or Leadership styles at Amazon if that is my company). Each management topic section should be approximately 1/2 page in length (you may go longer if needed but not shorter.)
Topic Paper Contents
Minimally, the following sections should be addressed as they relate specifically to the organization that you selected and how their managers/leaders address these issues from a planning, strategy, team, and/or individual basis – This is only a suggested a minimal outline. You may certainly choose to add other elements.
