How Is a Professor Never Late, but Arrives PRECISELY when they need to arrive? ● The neque dictum purus scelerisque efficitur sed vel nunc dignissim quis nec tortor et tutor. “Radicals must vel fermentum enim. Vivamus quis velit a velit volutpat volutpat. Morbi mollis a est nec molestie. Nunc in facilisis nibh. Duis eleifend purus et molestie egestas. Duis ac nibh sed purus sodales dapibus.” (Poole 2025, page 98). My Reaction / Reflections At first ante ipsum prima fascia. Morbi eget massa eget diam. Lacinia primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia. Much like Bugs Bunny “took a wrong turn at Albuquerque” we find ourselves thinking we are “all right” until we are quite wrong, though it may give us a chance to become friends with the Tasmanian Devil. Then vestibulum ante ipsum prima fascia. Morbi eget massa eget diam. Lacinia primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia curae neque dictum purus scelerisque efficitur sed vel -- et tu Brute. When I volunteer et pellente sque iaculis tortor sit amet purus vehicula, at ullamcorper velit venenatis. Morbi eget massa eget diam. Lacinia primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia curae neque dictum purus scelerisque efficitur sed vel nunc tortor. Duis ut --- just like my mother used to say when confronting racists. When I helped organize and lead aenean id fringilla lectus. Duis iaculis tortor sit amet purus vehicula, at ullamcorper velit venenatis. Luctus, felis quis sagittis accumsan, lorem enim vestibulum lorem, in ultricies eget massa eget diam lacinia dignissim quis nec tortor. Duis ut lobortis posuere gravida. Proin ipseum accumsan, dignissim quis nec tortor. Duis ut vehicula nibh, sit amet egestas diam. Nunc lobortis posuere gravida. Proin ipseum. This gives us some powerful practical examples AND inspiration, making me appreciate this course all the more.

Mod 3 Reaction Paper (covering LinkedIn articles and other materials)

· Due Friday by 11:59pm

· Submitting a file upload

SUMMARY OF INSTRUCTIONS: This Reaction Paper (2 pages TOTAL) requires reading four brief LINKEDIN articles by S. McHale, summarizing them (in the first 1.5 pages) in outline/bullet-point form, and then WATCHING the SCHEIN video and READING the MORGAN CHAPTER (all of which are included on our "Mod 3 Learning Materials page). Finally, in the final half-page of your reaction paper, compare two "views of culture" as per the detailed instructions below.

Here is a SAMPLE (by your classmate SAM POOLE) to give you a clearer idea of expectations.

FULL INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Read Morgan, chapter 5 (using the Brytewave menu link). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd1bsxWeM6Q

2. View Edgar Schein & organizational culture Links to an external site. A black and grey play button Description automatically generated

3. Read the following four brief case studies by Siobhan McHale:

· The BIG reason why 70% of change efforts failLinks to an external site. (10/15/18). https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/big-reason-why-70-change-efforts-fail-siobhan-mchale/

· Does fear drive performanceLinks to an external site.? (11/27/18) https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/can-fear-create-high-performance-culture-siobhan-mchale/

2. Write up an outline of 1.5 pages: Although you are being asked to write up a brief OUTLINE (or bullet point format) --- and NOT an essay --- please be sure to use and define terms from the readings, and cite appropriately, to demonstrate your mastery of the learning materials:

· Summarize the key ideas of McHale's view of culture (e.g., emergent patterns of relating).

Final half-page:

· In a brief three-paragraph "reaction," compare and contrast TWO of the THREE viewpoints (McHale, Schein, & Morgan's).

· Summarize EITHER Schein's view of culture OR Morgan's view of culture.

· (You have already summarized McHale's view of culture, in the "outline" portion of your reaction paper).

· As you write about TWO of the THREE views of culture, consider:

· What do they have in common?

· How are they different?

· Which one do you feel is most effective as a management approach? (And why?
