Welcome to Organizational Behavior !

Welcome to Organizational Behavior !

Paper details:
One of the most important aspects of this class is that I have the opportunity to work with you. The second most important thing about this class is that you, as students, get to work with each other through interactive activities. Last but not least, this class is important because the material is very relevant in our professional and personal lives.

In an MBA course such as this, I suspect there are many interesting people enrolled. The purpose of this first assignment is to introduce yourself to me and your classmates. Post the essay under the “Self-Introduction Essay” THREAD. The essay will appear as a threaded discussion item for the entire class to read. Prepare a short essay of self-introduction. Introduce yourself by stating your name and hometown. In your essay, be sure to include the following information:

Your undergraduate alma mater, and major
Your current program of graduate study at EMU (i.e., MBA, MSHROD, Psychology, or graduate certificate program)
Your current or most recent employer
Your current or most recent job title/position and a brief description of your job duties/responsibilities
State why you chose to pursue graduate studies at this time in your life
State at least two work related characteristics you would like to develop (i.e., leadership skills, conflict management skill, or designing effective workplace rewards)
Review Ch. 1 and the Tentative Calendar of Course Readings on the syllabus. Pay particular attention to the topics that will be presented and discussed this semester. Which topic(s) do you find most interesting or appealing? Briefly explain your response.

Instructions for preparing your “Self-Introduction Essay” posting:

Type your discussion posting (essay) in a word processing (e.g. MicroSoft Word) application and save it to your PC or a removable drive before posting to the THREAD. This is important for two reasons: 1) If for some reason your essay is lost in in Blackboard, you will have another copy; 2) Grammatical errors can be greatly minimized by the use of the spell-and-grammar check functions in word processing applications. Once the post(s) has been typed and corrected in the word processing application, it should be copied and pasted to the Discussion Board. Please do NOT upload a document. Remember to post your essay as a REPLY to the THREAD.
