Final Project Part 1; 20% of your course grade You will be asked to analyze an organizational culture. This could be the organization you work with, or it could be some other organization to which you have access. Remember that clubs, associations, and churches can be considered organizations. Research (data gathering) may include, but does not have to be limited to, research of corporate websites, interviews, observations, and surveys. Collect your data and analyze it. Describe how you collected the data (observation, interviews, surveys). Then, analyze the organizational culture along three dimensions: artifacts, values, and underlying assumptions. Give examples of behavior, speech, or symbols that illustrate your findings. This paper should be 5-8 pages in length. Any data used (interviews, surveys, websites, etc.) should be attached as appendices. |
