Harvard Business Review. ( 2011).
Please note that the research papers in the course can build upon each other to create a final paper. Each paper has to have new content and newly used sources to support the literature review and should focus on the chapter readings, videos, discussions completed in the coursework between the last research paper (Paper One) and this new research paper, titled Research Paper Two.
Please research the concepts that we have read and continue to read about regarding managing people and identifying organizational behavior. Paper Two is focused on what is happening around your selected topic area. The concentration of a topic area allows you to gain strength in your abilities and skills to perform research and apply the fundamentals of the coursework to relevant situations in the workplace, with current issues, leadership in campus life, and from your lens as an advanced researcher.
Paper Two will include an introduction, present the issue-problem statement, the purpose of the study, and research questions, and present a NEW review of the literature that includes a relationship to the recent readings of one or more of the four articles as cited in HBR (2011) authored by Walker, Buckingham, Kim and Mauborgne, and Argyris. The subheadings are bolded below. Please use sub headers except for the introduction (it is not needed there). If you want to use other sub headers, just let me know. You may build upon your prior work, but new sources are required for the review of the literature and summary.
To think about:
What article or managerial component from the HBR (2011) textbook best relates to the research you are presenting in Paper Two? This work should focus on an organization's managers and leaders who promote the behaviors to encourage success. Please incorporate strong indicators from your research to support effective or non-effective leadership is evident (some of you selected topics in which leadership was not effective- and that is okay, but try to identify a solution), such as stock increases, company growth, a company employee survey, turnover, recruitment or retention in a career field, survey, or a selection of positive news articles or even your own insight. This should be fun and inspiring work to research a company's leadership behaviors to support why things are going well. Please be clear about the relationship to the coursework and incorporate at least two quotes from the textbook HBR (2011).
Introduction
Introduce the topic being explored and please articulate why you selected this topic and purpose of the study. Guided question: Explain what company or organization is being researched, and why is this topic important? (you may refine prior work for this paper - it is work in progress, and that is why the topic could change slightly with additional research) from Paper One.
Issue- Problem Statement - Purpose of Study (this may be the same as Paper One - if there is a relationship that can also encompass the new readings).
What is the issue or problem being researched - for example, how does this work relate to one or more of the last four articles read in the course?
Present at least one "relevant" research question.
Clearly state what article from the HBR (2011) textbook best relates to the research you are presenting in Paper Two (this may be a combination of several articles from HBR, 2011) when describing the introduction or issues section, please be clear about the relationship to the coursework and identify the concept (such as fair process or what great managers do...).
Literature Review
The paper and review of the literature should focus on at least one of last the four articles from HBR (2011) assigned reading from: Set Up To Fail, Rookie Manager, Great Managers, and Fair Process and Teaching Smart People How to Learn as cited in HBR (2011).
A review of the literature must use six (6)” new" academic sources, and at least two (2) must be from the textbook, video, or discussion postings. You may use supporting articles provided in the coursework or new ones researched.
Summary: What are the findings in the research about how leadership approaches and organizational behavior that creates the environment of managing others..., such as leadership effectiveness, behavioral characteristics
What is the relationship between effective leadership or non-effective leadership that impacted the topic area you are researching in terms of outcomes or proposed future work?
You must approach the work in a manner that is relevant, makes sense, provides meaning to the work for the recently read materials. There is no set guideline other than this section is a review of the literature that is conceptually the framework of the research from readings and artifacts to create an understanding of leadership and managing from a scholarly view - not your view. In the summary section, you can discuss your views.
Summary - based on the research completed, what is one learning moment or discovery- an aha moment that was derived, and how can you use this new information - if at all. Were you able to learn and apply a logical analysis through the literature to support key findings or are there any discovered conflicting views?
Please have fun with the work and perhaps explore new research so that paper one and paper two can build upon the review of the literature.
Please note that your topic area remains the same, the introduction- problem statement may also be the same as the Research Paper One, however, the research questions and literature and summary will differ as the HBR reading topics are different. While this paper is similar to Paper One in terms of the elements, there are vast differences in the content of the readings.
