MGMT assign 2

The purpose of this Research Project is for you to deepen your understanding of a particular management topic that is of interest to you. You will conduct research using secondary sources in order to develop an understanding of your research topic that goes beyond the textbook.

This is an individual assignment and is to be completed without collaboration with classmates. Each student must select a different research topic – but the topic you select is up to you. When trying to determine what topic to select please do not be afraid to look ahead to textbook chapters that we have not already covered in class. Your topic should be directly related to some concept from the textbook and must be specific. For example, Motivation (Chapter 14) would be too broad as a research topic but “Motivating Millennial Employees” would be suitable. 

The Research Report is a written document (between 1800-2200 words) that shares the findings from your research. The purpose of this document is to summarize and synthesize what you learned about your research topic from secondary sources. This report relies heavily on your ability to collect and assess relevant secondary sources related to your research topic.

The grading rubric for the Research Report can be found below. The rubric includes many specific details on the expectations for the report and should be used as a guide for the overall structure of the report.
