OB “In the News” – Written Assignment (5 pages)Analyze and critique a current event in the news from an organizational behavior perspective. In addition to the grading guidelines above, evaluation will be based on: · Critically analyze the issues presented in the story from an organizational behavior perspective drawing from distinctions from the course. · Apply the course concepts (both readings and discussions) to the contents of the article. Do not use the article as a backdrop to just explain a particular course concept (your book and assigned readings cover that). · Offer a strategy for how to proceed or manage the problem/dilemma posed in the story. If the story offers a strategy or tactics, evaluate the pros and cons of this path.· At the end of the paper, include a link to the article used and include the questions you will ask during your presentation. This paper should be able to stand on its own and not merely be a transcript of the presentation. The point of the assignment is to see how well you can apply the concepts from the class to a particular topic in current events.
