PREPARATION FOR PROJECT PHASE 3
Resources
Global Issue – Analysis (Phase 3).
Global Issue Resources | Transcript.
The final phase of your project will be due in Unit 10. Read the directions for the Global Issue – Analysis
(Phase 3) assignment carefully and plan how you will meet this deadline. If you have any questions about the
directions, contact your instructor.
Review of Literature
Continue your review of literature relevant to your issue. Your list of references for Phase 3 will include those
you previously cited in Phase 2, but should be augmented. It may include added material located through
the Global Issue Resources interactive, course readings, and media presentations if relevant. In addition, the
final project must include at least 12 peer-reviewed sources located from the Research library or other sources
online or in print.
In order to make sure you maximize the results of your research, read the instructions for Phase 3 carefully
and plan to meet the requirements. Keep notes and the citations of all sources you consult. It could be
helpful to begin an outline or a rough draft this week.

CULTURE IN ORGANIZATIONS
Resources

Just as culture needs to cross geographic or national boundaries, culture also crosses the boundaries of
organizations within a government. Use the examples you found in this unit's study to inform your post. How
does culture cross boundaries in public administration organizations? Analyze government examples from
the United States and in other countries to support your post. Describe the implications this has for public
administrators in being more sensitive to issues of multiculturalism and diversity.
