Homework
The Team Consultancy Project is the team project for this course. Your team will play the role of management consultant. Your team is to conduct an analysis of a real organization (student-run groups on campus are not permitted for this project). You may select an organization in which one or more of the team members has worked, you know a direct contact in a particular organization or there is significant depth that can be found on this organization through research. Once an organization has been identified, your team will select one issue or challenge experienced by this organization that relates to our study in this course; a topic that interests you and is relevant to the organization you are working with i.e. organizational culture, diversity, leadership, decision making etc. Your team's role is to analyze the issue and propose an action plan that solves the organization's issue/problem. It is important that your project be issue-oriented and analytical and not merely descriptive. The purpose of the project is to give your team an opportunity to apply what has been learned in the course, along with your independent research, to the organization of your team's choice.
To meet these broad goals, your team should answer the following question in the homeworks detailed below:
1) What are the issues or problems facing the organization?
2) What course theoretical concepts can be applied to understand why this problem is occurring?
3) What recommendations can you offer to help improve the organization's functionality?
