Write brief description of the organizational setting


Assignment task: The following are suggestions that have often been helpful to students in the past. You should feel free to organize the paper differently if you feel that another format enables you to develop your case and tell your story more effectively.

1. Set the stage with a relatively brief description of the organizational setting and your role in it. Provide information that you think will help the reader understand the most important elements in the situation. (This will require selectivity: part of the art of case writing is separating the essential facts from the mass of information that might be included.)

2. Focus on direct description of events. If there was a significant meeting, provide a description of what people actually said and did in it. (A script representing part of the conversation is very helpful in such cases.)

3. Think about the following as possible elements:

  • Structural issues (for example, structure, goals, technology, size).
  • "People" issues (for example, issues of management style, group process, interpersonal relations).
  • Politics (Was there conflict? About what? Between whom?)
  • Symbols (Think about organizational culture, symbols, myths, and rituals; were there questions about what really happened or about what it really meant?)

4. A good case often ends with a question or unsolved problem. (For example, What should I do now? How could I solve this problem?)

5. You may choose to disguise the identity of the organization and the individuals. Use fictitious names wherever you feel that it is appropriate. If you are concerned about confidentiality, put the word CONFIDENTIAL in capital letters on the first page. All such requests will be honored strictly. The purpose of the case is to facilitate your learning.
