20 Sep Organizational culture and how it is a very powerful influence

TOPIC: Organizational culture and how it is a very powerful influence on the behavior of the organization and its members

The signature assignment is a formal academic paper on a topic of the
students choice, as approved by the instructor. The paper can focus
on any topic of Organizational Behavior covered in the class, except
the midterm case paper topics. The signature paper cannot be the
same as the case paper; it should focus on a different topic than
business ethics and corporate social responsibility and should tackle
other companies than the midterm ones.
Throughout the session, students are recommended to work towards
the signature paper in some of the TDS. They include: topic selection,
researched resources (peer-reviewed articles and top business
journals articles), as well as an annotated outline and annotated
bibliography.
The paper should focus on analysis, namely application of theories,
concepts, and/or frameworks from the course. The paper can be a
review paper, a thesis based paper, or a case paper. Applications to
actual companies are encouraged. The format should follow the
traditional structure: Introduction (road map: what the paper plans to
do), Main Body (subsections developing all the points listed in the
introduction, definitions, and discussion), Conclusions (brief
summary), and Bibliography (APA style). The paper should utilize
titles and subtitles to further ensure a logical flow.
The paper must be APA formatted with a minimum of eight references.
The paper is expected to be 8 to 10 pages long (not including the title
page, table of contents, references, and any appendices).
