Research Paper: Final Submission Instructions

NEED BY 2/29/2020

Through Discussion Board Forums and Journal Assignments, you have explored some of the emerging Disruptive Media Technologies and Cultural Trends (DMTCs) that can generate and affect businesses, nonprofits, churches, families, and other personally connected social units.

In this Research Paper, you have the opportunity to expand the scale of your research using a specific DMTC of your choice along with its historical antecedents, the unique conditions by which a mediated technology/idea achieves validity, the dynamics of change, and the means by which a given organization can strategically harness the phenomenon into a successful web strategy for growth.

Your paper must consist of the following:

· A detailed description of the chosen disruptive media technology and/or trending cultural idea, and its’ primary elements. Is this a regional, national, or global DMTC?

· Historical antecedents of similar DMTC phenomena; why a given technology or idea gave birth to a movement, whether organizations dismissed or embraced this force, and the natural outcomes of that decision.

· Conditions (societal, business, and cultural) that allow this DMTC phenomenon to gain “legs,” that is to say, the kind of compelling force that must be addressed. If the DMTC is of regional or national status, what would it take for this DMTC to reach global status?

· A description of your chosen organization in terms of establishment, purpose, and in your opinion, potential opportunities and challenges.

· Your strategic plan to effectively embrace selected components which will successfully transform your organization. Include a visual “landing page” website mockup that demonstrates your organization’s commitment to change. As this DMTC continues to morph, how will your organization recognize and meet whatever challenges and/or opportunities emerge?

Your Research Paper must be at least ten pages and include at least 10 net references with full URLs and at least three scriptural references in current APA format. Evaluation will center on the degree to which the research/application demonstrates a full understanding of the topic, an effectual Christian worldview, and a plan for successful application within the selected organization.

Research Paper: Topic Submission (That was submitted

Proposed Topic:

I intend to research on the impact of globalization on organizational communication with a particular focus on FedEx, which is an American delivery organization.

Proposed Thesis Statement:

Previous studies have ascertained that effective communication results in improved organizational performance. However, in the recent wake of globalization, this has not been easy owing to the diverse languages and cultures. A global environment poses the challenge of effective communication. Even in instances where both parties speak the same language, misunderstandings can still arise as a result of underlying cultural and ethnic differences. The last decade has seen more organizations embracing globalization to extend the reach of their business operations (Matthews& Thakkar, 2012). Also, there have been immense examples of how ineffective communication results in poor organizational performance, especially in the wake of globalization. Hence, organizations must understand the impact of globalization on cross-cultural communication to navigate such dynamics better. Also, understanding how globalization impacts organizational communication is significant for organizations seeking to have a better competitive edge in the global market. Recent economic challenges further encourage organizations to put in place adequate internal communication strategies to effectively control external threats. As the world becomes more diverse, and operations are now more global, the ability to communicate across cultural boundaries is gaining more prominence (Matthews& Thakkar, 2012).In this wake, global organizations must understand how to communicate with workers from different cultures to meet the organization's mission and create value for their stakeholders. The rise of modern technology has especially had a profound effect on how organizations communicate globally as well as other interactions in the workplace. Nonetheless, with the new technological advents, organizations must still understand the obstacles of modern technology to navigate them best to increase their profits and market share while also optimizing organizational performance.
