Assignment Requirement – Analysis and Synthesis of Prior Research

At professional conferences, blocks of time may be set aside for what are termed "poster sessions." A hotel ballroom or large open area will be ringed with individuals who use displays such as posters or electronic presentations displayed via projectors. These sessions provide an opportunity to share one's research in an intimate setting, with a small group gathered around who share a similar interest. The seminar format of this course is very similar to this academic exchange. During one set of paired weeks, you will be appointed as a Group Leader. If you are one of the Group Leaders for this week, you are to prepare an academic presentation, much like a poster session.

Your presentation should present an analysis and synthesis of prior research and will begin the interaction with your colleagues. You will prepare an academic paper of 7 pages in APA format on the material in this week’s readings. This analysis will be an open-ended introduction to explaining how unconventional leadership can be modeled and implemented in occupational settings. Your goal, as the presenter, should be to persuade your discussants that the approach(es) you have analyzed and synthesized are a sound means for challenging conventional leadership methods. You should acknowledge that there are other models, or means to study leaders and their use of unconventional leadership methods, but you should strive to be as persuasive as possible that the specific concepts and operationalizations you have reviewed are exciting research avenues and that they are potentially breakthrough areas in the understanding of how unconventional leadership contributes to organizational effectiveness.

Your paper should contain the following elements:

· An incorporation and analysis of at least five of the required resources from this pair of weeks – see attached annotated Bibliography

· The incorporation and analysis of five additional resources from the Walden Library – Articles attached here

· An identification of principal schools of thought, tendencies in the academic literature, or commonalities that define the academic scholarship regarding your topic – Understanding the Critical Perspective of Civic Leadership Theory (CLT)

· An evaluation of the main concepts with a focus on their application to management practice and their impact on positive social change

· Direct evidence of addressing the learning outcomes from this pair of weeks.

In addition to the above elements, the Group Leader(s) for this week will focus thematically on:

· Synthesizing the main points of critical management studies (CMS) and evaluating the theory in terms of its impact on leadership function in large organizations.

· Summarizing the major aspects of stakeholder theory, considering how stakeholder theory contributes to organizational reform in a way that might accommodate CMS.

· Considering whether CMS and stakeholder theory provide approaches that will improve management practice and the impact that organizations have on society.

· Selecting an aspect of CMS and identifying, discussing, and evaluating the implications for practicing managers.

· Providing examples of how Fortune or Bloomberg Business Week 1000 top global organizations are, or are not, utilizing stakeholder theory.

The 7-page paper will be aligned in the following sub headings:

1. Introduction

2. Civic Leadership Theory (CLT)

3. Civic Leadership Programmes

4. Effects of CMS and CLT approaches that will improve management practice

5. The New generation of leaders

6. Conclusion

7. References (10 references minimum)
