There is one case study which involves reading and analyzing the case assigned and answering the prompt.

Case study should be a minimum of 3 full pages double spaced per APA (No extra spacing to pad the paper). If your case report is less than the minimum you either did not define the concepts used from the textbook or you have not used sufficient information from the case study to support your answers. The case studies do require external research. 20% of your sources can be from the textbook, but 80% should be from current outside sources. Strive for nothing older than 2016 if possible. The more current the better.

Corporate layoffs have become a mainstay of life in America. What gets less attention on the evening news is that layoffs create downsizing survivors, those who remain in your company after the downsizing.

Are you a traditional manufacturing facility currently experiencing an industry sales slump? Or perhaps, you're a governmental agency or university unable to fill positions as people leave. Downsizing takes many forms.

Maybe your organization downsized, right-sized, eliminated redundancy, experienced layoffs, or cut staff.

Whatever the terminology or circumstances, if your organization downsized, you're left with layoff survivors, those employees considered lucky because they made the cut. While downsizing has a positive effect on the businesses bottom line, to truly benefit from the layoffs, you need to invest energy in the employees who survived. If you do, you will aid recovery, fuel productivity, and boost morale. (Heathfield, 2018, para. 1-4) (Note: This article may not be used as a source)

You are the VP of sales in a large organization {you choose the industry} who had 30 managers before sequestration 2 months ago. Now you have 25 managers. Discuss how you would motivate the survivors based on what you have learned in chapter 7 and 8 as well as research from outside sources.

Do not discuss anything before or during the layoff. The instructions state that the layoff has already happened. This assignment is about what to do (2 months) after the layoff has occurred.
