Workshop #1

Below, list four organizations you somehow rely on in your daily life for some resource. Examples might be a restaurant, a clothing store, a university, your family, the post office, your wireless provider, an airline, a pizzeria that delivers, and your place of work. In the first column, list those four organizations. Then, in column 2, choose another organization you could use in case the one in column 1 was not available. In column 3, evaluate your level of dependence on the organizations listed in column 1 as Strong, Medium, or Weak. Finally, in column 4, rate the certainty of that organization being able to meet your needs as High (certainty), Medium, or Low.

1. Do you have adequate backup organizations for those of high resource dependence? How might you create even more backups?

2. What would you do if an organization you rated high for dependence and high for certainty suddenly became high dependence and low certainty? How would your behavior relate to the concept of resource dependence?

3. Have you ever used any behaviors similar to those in Exhibit 4.8 to manage your relationships with the organizations listed in column 1?

Your submission should be  in essay format that is a minimum of 1 page in length. At least one reference is required.  Please be sure to cite and reference in APA.

Workshop #3

Review the vision, mission, and values of your organization (or an organization with which you are familiar). Describe how these statements have influenced (or not influenced) the organization’s culture. Does the organization intentionally use these statements to embed ethical norms and values among members? If so, how? If not, what would you recommend? Note: Please do not repeat the mission and vision statements in your paper.  Be sure to summarize what you learned from the statements in relation to the organization’s culture in your own words.
