Select an organization – it could be your present company or a previous company for which you worked in the past, or an organization in your personal life (professional, fraternal, charitable, social, etc.) – and describe a situation that demonstrates this organization’s foresight, creativity, and innovation within an ethical model. Some examples situations might include the development of a new product or service, a removal of a barrier to productivity, an action to improve employee productivity, a marketing/advertising campaign that induced more sales, a fund raising drive, a membership drive, etc. Your paper should:
· Provide an analysis of how the organization demonstrated each of these separate concepts (creativity, innovation, and foresight) in an interrelated and ethical way.
· Next, analyze the specific situation you have presented in light of foresight, creativity, and innovation in one of the following ways:
· Analyze how the situation you have presented reflects at least three workplace trends discussed by Puccio, et al. (2012) or,
· Analyze how at least three of the management challenges and goals discussed by Hamel (2009) helped you to understand the situation you presented.
