Management Application Exercise

 All the requirements and instructions are attached.  DUE 3pm est on Nov.15

Specific details are in the file named "Application+exercise".
In summary, you’ll have 3 parts of your write up. First, you’ll present your look at the cultures
of 3 firms & contact one. Second, you’ll analyze your cultural preferences via a scale and
discuss what you discovered. Third, you’ll match up what you know about these firms with
your preferences.
Don’t ‘wing it’ here. Support your write-up with data, cites, scale results, etc. This is not an
exercise to know your inner dreams and hopes. Those are important, but not the subject of this
assignment. You’re doing a cultural audit of firms, then an analysis of yourself via course-related
materials, and then finally putting the two together.
Keep your report to 1500 words or less (not including any title page or appendices you might
wish to add). Please use double spacing.

 Culture Preference Tests (choose 1 to complete) 

Culture Scale. This is a quick test that will be scored online for you and you can print out the results to refer to. Also posted is a file with brief background information on the test (called Culture Scale, background info). 

Here’s another culture preference test: http://gbr.pepperdine.edu/011/culture.html (Note: this one’s more complicated/detailed than the one above & moves around on this site a lot.)
