Management Training Program

Remember that this is an organizational communication course. Therefore, use your book as a reference. Look at what we have covered and include what you feel is pertinent to answering the questions and developing a strong presentation.

For example, when you have to give background on what kind of organization you are looking at, are you creating a review of a domestic organization? An international organization? How do you know which one? Remember to cite!

Also, the pages are approximate. This means that if you need more space to explain your organization, then you can. If you have less and want to dedicate more time to another part, then you can.
