mini book report

mini book report

Provide an overview of the organization and your role in it. Give enough information about the firm to acquaint an unfamiliar person . Identify name, location, size,

market segment, and a brief history. Identify the essential issues, events, or actions to help frame the problem and subsequent discussion points.

Problem Statement
Identify and clearly state the problem the leadership or organizational behavior issue that you have selected to research.

The problem statement should be phrased in terms of a researchable question. For example, if a work group is not performing effectively, an effective problem statement

might be “How can group performance be improved?”

Literature Review
You must address at least six scholarly resources in this section. Approach this section as a mini “book report” on each of the reference sources that significantly

informed your analysis and proposed solutions. Give the reader an encapsulated review of what information you found most relevant to your research. You may have found

conflicting opinions/theories related to your topic area. Identify and discuss any such contrasts and/or describe in detail significant agreement among your sources.

Your literature review should be separate and distinct from your analysis section; it is a summation of your research.

Identify at least three potential workable solutions to your problem and identify the pros and cons of each alternative solution and its high-level implementation

steps.

Identify your preferred solution and describe exactly what should be done and how it should be done, including by whom, with whom, and in what sequence. Always explain

your thinking behind your final solution set. It’s important to be clear about why a particular alternative (solution) was chosen, as opposed to others.

Terminal Course Objectives

DeVry University course content is constructed from curriculum guides developed for each course that are in alignment with specific Terminal Course Objectives. The

Terminal Course Objectives (TCOs) define the learning objectives that the student will be required to comprehend and demonstrate by course completion. The TCOs that

will be covered in detail each week can be found in the Objectives section for that particular week. Whenever possible, a reference will be made from a particular

assignment or discussion back to the TCO that it emphasizes.
